The future of the country is determined by health status of the younger generation. The child body reacts most quickly to all external factors, both positive and negative. According to the indicators of physical development and the health status of the child population, it is possible to judge the socio-hygienic and economic wellbeing, the state of the environment in the region. Indicators of the physical development of children and adolescents are a combination of morphological and functional properties of the organism, characterizing the process of their growth and maturation, endurance to any changes in environmental conditions, lifestyle. In childhood and adolescence, individual indicators of physical development are constantly changing, reflecting the influence of the totality of environmental factors, the nature of nutrition, lifestyle. Changes in morbidity rates are not linear, but there are periods of some decrease in the prevalence of functional disorders and chronic diseases and periods of their rapid increase. The work revealed patterns of changes in the physical development of children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 years, which have occurred during the 2008–2017 period. We have made a prognosis of the changes in the parameters on the further physical development of children and adolescents over the next 10 years.

Introduction. Health condition is one of the basic factors determining the quality of life of children and adolescents. In early childhood, its poor condition is particularly dangerous as it can interfere with developmental processes and lead to long-term and permanent health problems. Chronic diseases are distinguished among the most common health diseases of children and adolescents. They constitute one of the most serious phenomena and problems of the modern world, resulting from the prevalence in the population, and above all from the consequences it causes in an individual and social sense. The catalog of chronic diseases includes: asthma, allergies, heart diseases, arterial hypertension, stroke, cancer, kidney diseases, multiple sclerosis, degenerative joint diseases and mental diseases. In Poland, the prevalence of chronic diseases in children aged 0-14 is found in 27%, and among adolescents aged 15-19 it is found in 23%. According to the age category of children, chronic disease was diagnosed in 23% of children aged 0-4; 30% – 5-9 years; 29% – 10-14 years. No systematic epidemiological studies are conducted in Poland on the occurrence of chronic diseases in the population of children and adolescents. Aim. The aim of the article is to present the epidemiology of selected chronic diseases among children and adolescents living in several cities of the Silesian Voivodeship. Material and methods. The research material is data from the Silesian Voivodship Office in Katowice – Department of Health. Tables were then drawn up that illustrate the epidemiology of the diseases discussed. Results. The lowest incidence rate of bronchial asthma was recorded in Sosnowiec in 2010 (18.2/10,000) and the highest in Bielsko-Biała in 2014 (91.1/10,000). In Bielsko-Biała and Katowice, the cancer incidence rate is increasing. Conclusions. The general health condition of Polish children (0-14 years) is moderately satisfactory, and children and adolescents from industrial areas, which include the Śląskie Voivodeship, are particularly exposed to more frequent incidence of respiratory diseases and various types of allergies. Currently, every fourth child has long-term health problems (26.1%), and they are more common in older children, among 10-14 year-olds (31.2%).

Introduction: Menopause is a complex physiological, self-perceived health condition caused by the reduction and termination of ovarian function, a process that results in a range of both psychological and physiological symptoms. The aim of this literature review was to synthesize the results of published studies on factors associated with menopausal symptoms in women during the transition to menopause and the postmenopausal period.Methods: This systematic review was carried out according to the PRISMA statement. Primary studies published between 2007 and 2017 were identified through the following databases: PUBMED, SCOPUS, and CINAHL. In total, 3301 studies were identified and 279 were screened in full text. Of these, 54 studies were included for quality assessment using checklists from the Norwegian Institute for Public Health. A total of 22 studies were ultimately selected for inclusion in the results. These were thematically reviewed.Results: A wide range of determinants was sorted as socio-demographic predictors, reproductive factors, clinical characteristics, behavioral, and lifestyle characteristics, and their association with the following outcomes was examined: The prevalence and severity of menopausal symptoms; sexual functioning; health indicators and health behaviors; health-related quality of life; physical performance; cognitive changes and attitudes; and the prevalence and age of natural menopause.Conclusions: The current state of knowledge regarding menopause indicates that a wide array of instruments and variables have been employed and assessed to further understanding about menopause-related symptoms. This systematic review provides information on factors that should be considered in the treatment of menopause-related changes that may be bothersome for menopausal women.

Introduction. Against the background of socio-economic transformations and the digitalization of education, the health indicators of students are changing, which requires in-depth research. Aim of the study: based on the longitudinal observation of the health of schoolchildren, to identify the patterns of its formation for the scientific justification of improving the medical care of students. Material and methods. From the 1st to the 11a grade (2005-2015), the same students (199 boys and 227 girls) of 4 Moscow schools were examined annually with the performance of anthropometry, electrocardiography, functional tests, and questionnaire to identify complaints and anamnesis; specialist doctors carried out 25,298 examinations. In addition to the analysis of morbidity, a qualitative analysis of the course of pathological processes in students was carried out to determine positive and negative dynamics. Results. Over 11 years, the prevalence of functional disorders increased by 14.7%, chronic diseases by 52.8%, the frequency of visual disturbances, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, digestive organs, neurotic reactions increased; new forms of risk behaviour and information dependence appeared. An unfavourable period of development of pathological processes in schoolchildren is training in grades 9-11. Compared with the 1990 morbidity rates obtained by similar methods, there was an increase in the prevalence of functional disorders among adolescents by 2-3 times and chronic diseases by 20-70%. When comparing physical development with peers of the second half of the XX century, the observed schoolchildren increased the average values of body length and weight with a decrease in functional indicators. Distance learning during the first wave of COVID-19 in spring 2020 has increased the prevalence of computer vision, carpal tunnel syndromes, and neurotic reactions. Discussion. The main patterns of health formation in school ontogenesis, coinciding with the change of generations and the transition to the digitalization of education, are revealed. Conclusion. The study results allow predicting an increase in the prevalence of neuropsychiatric disorders, myopia, scoliosis, computer-visual and carpal tunnel syndromes. To preserve students’ health, to counteract COVID-19, a modern model of school health care is proposed.

Background: The innovative form of organizing schooling in the mode of dynamic postures providing for alternation of standing and sitting postures at each lesson is implemented in order to prevent detrimental health effects of the long-term stationary sitting posture, reduce static and educational fatigue, preserve and strengthen health in educational institutions. Our objective was to assess the health status of primary school children studying in dynamic postures. Materials and methods: We assessed the health status of 174 pupils aged 7–10 in the first to third grades of primary school studying in the mode of dynamic postures. The health data was obtained from their personal medical records. The assessment was carried out in accordance with the comprehensive methodology for assessing health of children and adolescents based on the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. Physical development was measured using regression scales. Results: We established that visual impairment (137.9‰) and musculoskeletal disorders (109.2‰) ranked highest in the structure of functional disorders (FD) among the first to third graders. The prevalence of functional disorders of the circulatory and respiratory system was 86.2‰ and 80.5‰, respectively. Musculoskeletal conditions dominated in the structure of chronic diseases (63.0%), the prevalence being 293.1‰. These were followed by diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and gastrointestinal diseases with the prevalence rate of 46.0‰ each. The total prevalence of functional abnormalities among the primary school first to third graders was 500.0‰ while the prevalence rate of chronic diseases was 465.5‰. Normal physical development was observed in 82.9% of the subjects. Overweight and obesity were detected in 11% and 0.6% of the children, respectively, while underweight, small and big height were measured in 3.1%, 1.8%, and 0.6% of the children, respectively. Conclusions: The comparative data analysis helped establish lower disease prevalence rates among the children studying in dynamic postures compared to those studying in the seated position. Our findings may serve as a scientific substantiation of efficiency of using the dynamic posture regime in order to maintain and improve health of schoolchildren.

The World Wide Web has become an essential modern tool for people’s daily routine. The fact that it is a convenient means for communication and information search has made it extremely popular. This fact led companies to start using online advertising by creating corporate websites. With the rapid increase in the number of websites, search engines had to come up with a solution of algorithms and programs to qualify the results of a search and provide the users with relevant content to their search. On the other side, developers, in pursuit of the highest rankings in the search engine result pages (SERPs), began to study and observe how search engines work and which factors contribute to higher rankings. The knowledge that has been extracted constituted the base for the creation of the profession of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). This paper consists of two parts. The first part aims to perform a literature review of the factors that affect the ranking of websites in the SERPs and to highlight the top factors that contribute to better ranking. To achieve this goal, a collection and analysis of academic papers was conducted. According to our research, 24 website characteristics came up as factors affecting any website’s ranking, with the most references mentioning quality and quantity of backlinks, social media support, keyword in title tag, website structure, website size, loading time, domain age, and keyword density. The second part consists of our research which was conducted manually using the phrases “hotel Athens”, “email marketing”, and “casual shoes”. For each one of these keywords, the first 15 Google results were examined considering the factors found in the literature review. For the measurement of the significance of each factor, the Spearman correlation was calculated and every factor was compared with the ranking of the results individually. The findings of the research showed us that the top factors that contribute to higher rankings are the existence of website SSL certificate as well as keyword in URL, the quantity of backlinks pointing to a website, the text length, and the domain age, which is not perfectly aligned with what the literature review showed us.

<p class="abstract">Cutaneous manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are neglected during the early period of the spread of the pandemic. Moreover, the rational that children are immune against COVID-19 infections, allowed unnoticeable spread of the disease among children and adolescents. This review article aimed to shed light on the different cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 among pediatric age group, its related pathogenesis and histopathological features. Review of literature published since the release of the details about the disease was conducted to examine various cutaneous manifestations related to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Review of 35 articles concerned with COVID19-related skin manifestations in pediatrics showed that it was varied and included chilblain-like, maculopapular, urticarial, vesicular, targetoid, erythema multiforme-like and COVID-19 Kawasaki disease-like multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which is serious health condition. Despite of the previously documented higher production of interferon-α in children and adolescents, children are not immune against SARS-CoV-19 infection. Cutaneous manifestations in children are usually asymptomatic and are curable unless they are drug-related side effects during the course of treatment of COVID-19. This literature review and photo atlas provide a mini-analysis of COVID-19-related skin manifestations among pediatrics with reference to their tissue histopathological changes.</p>

UNSTRUCTURED The rapid spread of the Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) had drastically impacted life all over the world. While some economies are actively recovering from this pestilence, others are experiencing fast and consistent disease spread, compelling governments to impose social distancing measures that have put a halt on routines, especially in densely-populated areas. Aiming at bringing more light on key economic and public health factors affecting the disease spread, this initial study utilizes a quantitative statistical analysis based on the most recent publicly-available COVID-19 datasets. The study had shown and explained multiple significant relationships between the COVID-19 data and other country-level statistics. We have also identified and statistically profiled four major country-level clusters with relation to different aspects of COVID-19 development and country-level economic and health indicators. Specifically, this study has identified potential COVID-19 under-reporting traits as well as various economic factors that impact COVID-19 Diagnosis, Reporting, and Treatment. Based on the country clusters, we have also described the four disease development scenarios, which are tightly knit to country-level economic and public health factors. Finally, we have highlighted the potential limitation of reporting and measuring COVID-19 and provided recommendations on further in-depth quantitative research.
