Background: Both pleiotropic and ubiquitous, microRNAs (miRNAs) exert control over a wide range of cellular functions. They have been detected in virtually every extracellular fluid in the mammalian body, and many circulate substantial anatomical distances in plasma. Thus, secreted miRNAs are valuable not only as diagnostic tools but also may serve as novel biological effectors that can be transmitted between source and recipient tissue. Design: This review will discuss the possibility of delivering functional miRNAs from exogenously derived dietary sources. We will examine prior research interrogating the existence and relevance of such a mechanism. Findings: Recent findings have reported cross-kingdom transfer of specific plant-derived miRNAs to mammalian tissue following consumption of plant-based foods. These exogenous miRNAs were reported to be active in the recipient organisms, directing changes in gene expression at distant organ sites. In spite of this, subsequent studies have been unable to find evidence of substantial exogenous diet-derived miRNAs in mammalian circulation or tissues, regardless of diet. Conclusion: Further examination of diet-derived miRNA uptake is ongoing, but it does not appear that horizontal delivery of miRNAs via normal dietary intake is a generalizable or frequent process to maintain robust expression of these miRNAs in most higher-order animal organisms.

Introduction: It is commonly known that healthy attitudes of pregnant women condition normal pregnancy and health of a newborn. The most important factor influencing the well-being of a pregnant woman and her child is the right nutrition. Convinced that she is making every effort to ensure that the baby in her womb develops normally, the expectant mother is at the same time satisfying the need for her own safety and the safety of her growing family. From a population perspective a full-term and properly nourished neonate, subjected to the right upbringing, guarantees the development and survival of the society the member of which it becomes. Aim: This paper attempts to present functional dietary recommendations for pregnant women, based on national and international recommendations with respect to social and personal safety of pregnant women. The right nutrition in the course of pregnancy is a multidimensional issue. From one hand this refers to satisfying our energy requirement, which changes at different trimesters of pregnancy, on the other hand, it also linked to the structure of consumed products, namely the right amount and proportion of nutrients. It also included modification of wrong dietary habits (Godala M. et al., 2012). There is no single opinion on the possibility of consuming some food pregnancy while being pregnant. Attention needs to be paid to such dubious products as blue cheese, sushi, surimi, soft-boiled eggs or some kinds of fish. It is of high importance that a pregnant woman’s diet is supplied with floate, iodine, iron, zinc and calcium, which to a large extent condition normal development of many systems in an unborn child’s organism. Conclusion: Malnutrition or an unbalanced diet of a pregnant woman is the cause of numerous complications, the effects of which are visible even in her child’s maturity. Such complications affect humans’ fundamental need which is the need for safety of own health and life. The right understanding of the multifaceted role of nutrition during pregnancy and its effect on gene expression by pregnant women and medical personnel is an unquestionably important argument used in the fight against chronic diseases of our time.

Celem pracy było przedstawienie dawnych oraz współczesnych świątecznych zwyczajów i tradycji żywieniowych w Polsce. Analizy dokonano na podstawie literatury i własnych badań ankietowych. Stwierdzono, że większość respondentów przystępuje do wieczerzy wigilijnej oraz śniadania wielkanocnego, zasiadając w gronie rodzinnym. Wśród najbardziej popularnych dań na wigilię wymieniano: barszcz z uszkami, kapustę z grzybami, pierogi z kapustą i grzybami, makowiec i piernik, smażonego karpia i śledzie w oleju oraz tradycyjny kompot z suszu. Ankietowani znali i rozumieli zwyczaje związane z wieczerzą wigilijną, jednak symbolika wigilijnych potraw była znana i rozumiana przez niewiele osób. Na wielkanocne śniadanie ankietowani spożywali: żurek, białą kiełbasę, ćwikłę, chrzan oraz babę. Znaczny odsetek respondentów znał symbolikę Świąt Wielkanocnych. Znajomość dań regionalnych wśród badanych jest lokalna i nieznana przez wielu respondentów. Podsumowując, żywieniowe tradycje świąteczne są nadal stosowane, za wyjątkiem niektórych dań i napojów, które dawniej stosowano często z powodów braku dostępu do innych surowców lub biedy.

The purpose of the article was to show former and present feeding festival traditions in Poland. The analyses were made on the basis of literature and own surveys. It was found that the majority of respondents acceded to Christmas Eve and Easter breakfast, sitting in the family circle. Among the most popular dishes on the Christmas Eve there were mentioned: beetroot soup with dumplings, cabbage with mushrooms, dumplings filled with sauerkraut and mushrooms, poppy seed cake, gingerbread, fried carp, herring in oil and a traditional compote of dried fruits. Respondents recognized and understood customs associated with Christmas Eve supper, but the symbolism of Christmas Eve dishes was known and understood by very few people. On Easter breakfast respondents ate: sour soup, white sausage, red-beet-and-horseradish sauce, horseradish and an Easter cake. Knowledge of regional dishes among respondents is local and unknown by many interviewees. In conclusion, feeding festival traditions are still observed, except in certain foods and beverages, which formerly were often used for reasons of lack of access to other components or because of poverty. This is the research article.

By carrying out an intervention study including a two-month period of executing measures and an observation period of another two months, the hypothesis stating that cognitive training makes weight reduction programs more successful is to be confirmed. The measures are introduced in a fitness facility. This study involved a cooperation with Mrs. Sporty. The target group are overweight women from the age of 30 onwards. From this target group of overweight women from the age of 30 onwards, three groups of 25 participants each are randomized. Two groups of 25 participants each are assembled from various Mrs. Sporty facilities in Flensburg, Schleswig, Rendsburg, and Husum. A third group of overweight non-athletes is generated over the press, flyers, and posters. All groups equally take part in one or, if required, two introductory individual interviews at the beginning in which initial data is gathered by way of a questionnaire that was developed for the study and first measurements are taken regarding BMI, waist size, and body fat content. Moreover, the participants’ individual situation and their specific problems are discussed and the intervention is adjusted accordingly. For participants that also receive cognitive training, mental measures that are in accordance with the concept developed and presented for the study are additionally integrated in the interviews as well as in the questionnaire and conducted theoretically and practically throughout the entire procedure.

Nowadays, because of irregular lifestyle, high level of stress dietary supplements (DS) are becoming more popular as a source of needful nutrients among millions of people all over the world. The main purpose of present study was to estimate prevalence of dietary supplement consumption in sport, motivation in DS usage and sources of information. Anonymous self-administered questionnaire was spread among students of medical faculty in the end of their fourth year of study. There were 218 students of the fourth year of the Medical Faculty, of which 60.1% were females and 39.9% were males. Males more often used or had been using dietary supplements than females. The most popular dietary supplement was whey protein. The most common aim among men was to build up muscle mass. It is possible to state conclusions that prevalence of using dietary supplement among students is similar to values reported previously in the literature. Males were definitely more often undertaking physical activity in the gym and that could be the reason why they were definitely more often using specific dietary supplements.

Common millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) and foxtail millet, also known as Italian millet (Setaria italica P. Beauv.), are among crop grasses that in the Antiquity and the early Byzantine period were grown on a relatively large scale. Yet although the sources indicate that they were among popular crops, they were neither as widespread not as highly regarded by consumers as wheat and barley. Views pertinent to the dietetic doctrine with regard to those to plants evolved before Galen’s lifetime and were very consistent, considering that they did not change over the period from the 2nd to the 7th century. This doctrine pointed to the less beneficial qualities of both these crop plants in comparison to the most highly values grains used in bread-making, especially to wheat. Also, common and foxtail millet were constantly present in the cuisine of the period in question, both being used as food in the rural areas rather than in cities. They were usually put in boiled dishes, because millet bread was unpopular owing to its brittleness and disagreeable taste. Both common and foxtail millet were included among the fármaka used in the period between the 2nd and 7th century, although they certainly were not as favoured in medicine as wheat and barley. Common millet was more often mentioned in the healing role. Both grains were used in medical procedures as components of healing diets, especially foods helpful in alleviating gastric disorders. Flour ground from common millet was applied as powder, whereas the grain itself found use as a component of warming cataplasms and poultices which usually had a drying quality. In addition, millet to was considered to be an efficacious antidote against poisons.

Introduction: In the world, the inflammatory bowel disease affects an increasing number of younger and younger patients, and in some of them parenteral nutrition is an alternative to high-risk surgical intervention due to advancement of the disease and malnutrition. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the results of home parenteral nutrition in patients with severe bowel inflammatory disease, in whom surgical treatment is associated with high risk of complications. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 46 patients, who received home parenteral nutrition instead of another surgical intervention. The inclusion criteria included home parenteral nutrition and diagnosis of Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Results: Mean number of complications requiring hospital admission per patient was 1.76, the BMI increased by 4.3 on average [kg/m2]. During parenteral nutrition, the percentage of patients, in whom anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressant drugs were completely discontinued, was 17.4%. In the whole group, at least one immunosuppressive drug was discontinued in onefifth of patients. Mean albumin level increased by 2.4 g/L, lymphocyte count dropped by 474 lymphocytes/mm3, and leukocyte count increased by 747.6/mm3. The patients described their condition as good in 87%, and 7.4% of patients were able to work. Conclusions: Home parenteral nutrition positively affects patient’s general condition by increasing BMI and normalizing biochemical test results. The results indicate the need to consider this method as an alternative to surgical intervention in severe bowel inflammatory disease with high perioperative risk, which could reduce the complication rate.

Peak cognitive performance is of paramount importance for the sports and competitive activities that depend on a high level of cognitive performance, such as eSports. The popularity of eSports has increased rapidly in recent years and will probably continue to rise in the forthcoming years. Above all, eSports practitioners require higher levels of cognitive abilities and motor skills for optimal performance and may benefit from adequate body composition and proper nutrition, as happens with more traditional athletes. However, there is a noticeable shortage of scientific knowledge in this area, including in nutritional-related aspects. Therefore, the objective of this non-systematic review is to summarize the nutritional strategies that may enhance health, cognitive performance, decrease reaction time and minimize fatigue. This information may be relevant for eSports competitors and set a base for further investigations, which could ultimately lead to the establishment of nutritional recommendations specific for this competitive population.

The article analyses the conditions of stay and moral attitude of the interned Ukrainian soldiers in Wadowice camp (Poland). It was proved that Ukrainian interned soldiers’ everyday life was connected with a lot of difficulties that were caused by the overpopulation of the camp and quite rough regime of the interns’ stay. Furthermore, indisposed, malevolent and even hostile attitude towards the Ukrainian interned soldiers took place, particularly from the officials at the camp. Consequently, it caused the demoralization of the Ukrainian warriors who did not have national patriotic feelings. These conditions led to the necessity of strengthening the moral spirit of camp dwellers. Cultural and educational departments of the division, camp theatre and other cultural and art centers were responsible for this mission along with the humanitarian aid from the camp affiliate YMCA.

Introduction: The Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a preferable treatment option of the renal replacement in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) end stage. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review of articles published related to the contribution of nutrition to health promotion of patients undergoing haemodialysis.Materials and methods: A review of the Greek and international literature on the subject was Performed through the electronic databases Medline, Google Scholar, Scopus and the Association of Greek Academic Libraries Link (Heal-Link), using as key words the following terms:haemodialysis, renal failure, peritoneal dialysis, nutrition.Most of the articles used in this literature review were recently published. Only few old - dated articles were included in the study and the reason was their significant contribution to the field. The exclusion criteria for the articles were the languages except from English and Greek.Results:Patient’s diet must contain 1.3 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Consumption of foods rich in carbohydrates should be limited. Patients should consume foods with the adequate quantity of phosphorus and potassium. Finally, they should have their sodium levels and fluid intake checked because sodium causes severe thirst that can lead to excessive fluid intake. As a result, the patient experiences swelling, shortness of breath and high blood pressure.Conclusion: Patients who undergo peritoneal dialysis must be checked regularly and pay special attention to their diets.

Purpose. Using databases available on the Internet, the number of scientific papers on the subject of field hockey were examined. Basic procedures. As a result, 208 scientific studies covering the fields of biochemistry, physiology, sport injuries, psychology and tactics were found, which were published within the last 50 years (from 1960 to 2010). Despite the popularity of field hockey and its status as an Olympic sport, the number of scientific studies which focused on field hockey was much smaller when compared to the amount of publications on other team sports, such as soccer, basketball, or baseball. Main findings. It was found that the greatest number of publications (61.06%) originated from five English-speaking countries (UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), with the majority focusing on sport psychology, injuries and biochemistry. What was discovered was that the vast majority of scientific studies used field hockey merely as a reference point in comparison to other team sports. Conclusions. The varying topic diversity of the scientific studies found among the databases significantly hinders an effective comparison of findings, especially considering that most of the studies focused on only a few selected aspects of the problem matter and were chiefly small sample studies, nor were they repeated.

The purpose of the research was to develop and scientifically substantiate the system of nutrition of winter triticale crops to optimize their production process and increase plant productivity in the Northern Steppe of Ukraine. The highest number of grains in the ear of the main and lateral stems of winter triticale was in the variants where foliar nutrition with a mixture of carbamide, magnesium sulfate and complex fertilizer Ferkrystal Summum during the 31st and 39th microphases and the variants where the third foliar nutrition during the 73th microphase on the background of root application of ammonium nitrate at a dose of 150 kg/ha was conducted. In these variants, the number of grains in the ear on average over the years and variants for pre-sowing fertilization was 40.6 and 40.0 pieces, respectively, which is 11.2 and 11.5%, respectively, more than in the control. Carrying out three foliar nutrition with a mixture of carbamide, magnesium sulfate and complex fertilizer Fercrystal Summum on the background of root nutrition of ammonium nitrate during the 22nd microphase provided an increase in grain weight from the ear and lateral stems of winter triticale compared to the control (application of ammonium nitrate at the dose of 150 kg/ha on frozen thawed soil) by 0.24 and 0.23 g, respectively, or by 14.8 and 15.4%. The studied variants of pre-sowing application of mineral fertilizers significantly affected the parameters of productive plant stand (the number of plants and lateral productive stems), while nutrition provided significant changes in the parameters of grain productivity of winter triticale plants. On the basis of the researches, during winter triticale cultivation, the farms in the Northern Steppe of Ukraine are recommended to carry out pre-sowing application of ammophos (N12P52), to apply ammonium nitrate (N50) for roots in the 22nd microphase in spring and carry out two foliar nutrition in the 31st and 39th microphases with a mixture of carbamide (N10), hepatic magnesium sulfate (1.5 kg/ha) and complex water-soluble fertilizer Ferkrystal Summum.

The article analyzes the conditions of stay and morale of the interned Ukrainian army in the Wadowice camp (Poland). It was proved that the life of Ukrainian soldiers was marked by considerable difficulties due to overcrowding of the camp, a rather tight regime of keeping interned, limiting the ability to temporarily leave the camp, the unpreparedness of the camp commandant's office to go to a meeting with the interned in solving their most pressing problems. Ukrainian soldiers’ ration was reduced, and sometimes they received spoiled products; they were devoid of soap; the camp still had a group of captive Red Army soldiers with Bolshevik agitators in their environment; there was a prohibition of singing songs (outside the camp, while studying, etc.). All this was aggravated by malevolence and even hostility to interned Ukrainian soldiers on the part of the individual officers of the camp (sometimes even offensive attitude to them), the intrusion of the camp’s commandant into the internal life of Ukrainian soldiers. All this led to the demoralization of the part of the interned Ukrainian army, which did not have stable national-state feelings. One of its manifestations was the desertion of several dozen interned from the camp, including officers. In these conditions, it was imperative to consolidate the moral spirit of the interned, what the cultural-educational departments were cared for. In order to create positive values, actors-amateurs of the camp’s theater regularly offered warriors performances by Ukrainian playwrights. The YMCA camp branch, which, despite the anti-Ukrainian position of its head, objectively changed the lives of the interned for the better.
