Introduction: There are specific differences in physiological and biochemical processes during sleep. Adenosine and melatonin are involved in the regulation of circadian rhythms. During sleep, you can observe the secretion of growth hormone, a reduction in cortisol secretion, and a decrease in muscle tone and blood pressure. Sleep can have a major impact on the development of systemic diseases.Aim of the study: A review of the literature aimed at identifying selected negative factors influencing the quality of sleep and systemic diseases which are related to sleep disorders.State of knowledge: Factors that negatively affect sleep include stress, as well as excessive time spent in front of light-emitting screens. Long-term lack of sleep increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and psychiatric diseases. Summary: Sleep plays an important role in the proper functioning of the body. Its quality is affected by many factors. Sleep disorders can be both the effect and cause of many diseases. Especially in diagnosing psychiatric diseases, attention should be paid to the occurrence of sleep disorders.

In recent years, the number of mathematical modelling studies has increased steeply. Many of the questions addressed in these studies are relevant to the development of World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, but modelling studies are rarely formally included as part of the body of evidence. An expert consultation hosted by WHO, a survey of modellers and users of modelling studies, and literature reviews informed the development of recommendations on when and how to incorporate the results of modelling studies into WHO guidelines. In this article, we argue that modelling studies should routinely be considered in the process of developing WHO guidelines, but particularly in the evaluation of public health programmes, long-term effectiveness or comparative effectiveness.  There should be a systematic and transparent approach to identifying relevant published models, and to commissioning new models.  We believe that the inclusion of evidence from modelling studies into the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) process is possible and desirable, with relatively few adaptations.  No single “one-size-fits-all” approach is appropriate to assess the quality of modelling studies. The concept of the ‘credibility’ of the model, which takes the conceptualization of the problem, model structure, input data, different dimensions of uncertainty, as well as transparency and validation into account, is more appropriate than ‘risk of bias’.

The aim of the rural development programs is the stabilisation of rural population and forming the perspectives for increasing the quality of life for all social groups in the communities as well as in the region. Less developed areas suffer for a long term from the cumulated negative factors of economic and social development. Their detailed identification which is theoretically considered in this paper can help to improve the particular measures towards the removal of the most urgent problems.

The Impact

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of different catheter tip positions on the life of the catheter, dysfunction, infection, and quality of hemodialysis and possible differences between the access site laterality in jugular-tunneled hemodialysis catheters. Methods: Catheters were evaluated for the following parameters: place of insertion, time of insertion, duration of use, and reason for removal. In all patients, the catheter tip position was checked using an X-ray. Results: The mean duration of implanted catheters with the tip placed in the cavo-atrial junction and right atrium was significantly longer. There were no differences in catheter functionality at follow-up or complications based on catheter laterality for each catheter tip position. Conclusion: According to our results, the localization of the catheter tip in superior vena cava still remains the least preferable method. Our results showed that the main factor responsible for better catheter functionality was not laterality but the depth to which the catheter tip is inserted into the body.

Chemotherapy has an effect on the occurrence of sleep disorders in children who suffer from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Sleep disorders experienced by children have an impact on optimizing the long-term quality of life of children. This study aims to describe sleep problems that occur in children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia who undergo induction phase chemotherapy. The design of this study was descriptive analytic with repeated measurements of sleep disorders in children aged 7-18 years (n = 62). Data collection was carried out for 7 days, that is, one day before, five days during, and one day after chemotherapy. The results of data analysis found that children have > 15 minutes to fall asleep, children have less than normal amounts of sleep (the number of hours of sleep is normal, school age: 9-11 hours / day, adolescence: 8-10 hours / day) and there was a decrease in the quality of sleep scores. In conclusion, there are sleep disorders that occur in children, namely children have less time to sleep, children need a long time to be able to fall asleep, and children experience a decrease in the quality of sleep. The need for exploration of interventions to facilitate efficient sleep according to the stages of child development.

This chapter adds to the body of literature on the Circular Economy (CE), urban mining, and their intersection with consumer behaviour, by first providing a review of existing and emergent EU regulations aimed towards enhancing the collection rate of household WEEE. The fast growth of the EEE waste stream and its potential for Urban Mining as well as the inability of WEEE collection to keep up with the growth of the EEE industry is showcased with statistical data. The final section critically analyses the literature the intersection between consumer behaviour and closed-loop supply chains for EEE, identified through a systematic keyword search to ensure replicability. The findings point at a lack of theoretical, methodological and product-case heterogeneity among the identified sources, with most of them employing the Theory of Planned Behaviour and survey methods and focusing on mobile phones or general WEEE. While the literature suggests important behavioural differences across EEE categories, this was not representatively explored. The final section contributes to filling this gap by developing a taxonomy of EEE categories based on characteristics that may predispose consumer behaviour. The identified dimensions are: size, involvement, long-term reliability expectations, value type, internet access, multifunctionality, the quality of being outdated and social meaning.

The article reflects modern ideas about the causes and mechanisms of the physical functioning disorders in patients with chronic kidney  disease receiving program hemodialysis. Various types of physical  activity are considered and the rationale for their use in dialysis  patients is justified. The diagnostics possibilities of the protein- energy deficiency main variants are presented. Possible directions  for their correction are outlined. The possibilities and methods of  regular physical training in such a complex cohort of patients with  changes in almost all the basic systems of the body are described in  detail. For patients who cannot perform physical exercises in a  training mode, a new rehabilitation technique was developed and  tested on a representative sample, and a new rehabilitation  technique that was not previously used in nephrology – a cutaneous  bilateral electrostimulation of the muscles of the lower extremities –  was justified and considered in detail. The authors give their own data on long-term follow-up of patients, which confirm the  possibilities of the presented methods not only in terms of improving physical performance, but also in improving the adequacy  of dialysis and the quality of life.

The paper describes specific changes in the quality of the Danube river water under the conditions of backwater effects in the Hydropower Plant Djerdap I storage. The results of longterm tests in five profiles of the investigated section, at various discharges give a global view of the intensity of changes in the composition of water mass. The analysis included changes in the contents of: organic matter, oxygen regime, reduction of turbidity and changes in the composition and abundance of plankton. The specific changes in the domain of physico-chemical and biochemical processes and changes in the biological status of the watercourse (composition and structure of plankton) at varying retention times complete the picture of short-term changes in the investigated system. Presentation of some settling effects and processes in the sediment of the storage provides an idea of some long-term changes in the conditions of backwater effects of the Danube in the investigated section.

Diabetes is a long-term (chronic) disease in which the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar in the blood. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), a microvascular complication of diabetes, is associated with considerable mortality, morbidity and diminished quality of life. The aim of this study is to measure effect of Neurodynamic techniques on weight bearing asymmetry of lower extremity in diabetic neuropathic patients. Method: - We have screened 35 patients and out of that 28 were fullled the inclusion criteria that deemed t as a sample. However, 20 patients were randomly selected as subjects using simple random sampling technique (Lottery method). In the subject experimental (A=10) patients were treated by sciatic nerve mobilization with conventional physical therapy. In the control (B=10), only conventional physical therapy was applied to diabetic neuropathy patients and both group assess weight bearing by foot print and ROM (exion and extension). Group A and B were treated 5 days a week for 4weeks. The m RESULT: ean differences in Clarke's Angel, ChippauxSmirak and Staheli indexes at left and right sides of diabetic neuropathy patient of experimental group between pre and post administration of modality were statistically highly signicant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Sciatic nerve mobilization with conventional physical therapy was more effective for lower limb function than conventional physical therapy alone in patient with diabetic neuropathy patients

The mouth contributes to nutrition, respiration, and communications but it also contains potential pathogens that threaten other parts of the body. It is readily accessible to spot early signs of immune, endocrine, haematological, gastrointestinal, metabolic, and neoplastic disorders. Teeth are destroyed rapidly by the sugar-laden diets and poor oral hygiene that are common occurrences among residents of long-term care facilities. Moreover, the adverse effect of rampant dental caries from medications that disturb salivary flow is too often overlooked by physicians and pharmacists. Oral cancer causes more deaths than each of colorectal, gastric, prostate, and breast cancers, while oral mucositis can be an excruciatingly painful side effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Overall, impairments and disabilities of the mouth and teeth influence physical and cognitive homeostasis and frailty, whereas effective management of oral disorder is an essential component of good geriatric care for successful ageing and quality of life in old age.
