The paper presents the origin of the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and its introduction to Europe and Poland. The nutritional value and pro-healthy properties of tubers are discussed, taking into account cultivars with colored flesh. The most important chemical components of the potato tuber were characterized. Numerous studies have shown that the tubers of colored cultivars, compared to the cultivars with white and yellow flesh, contain more polyphenols, chlorogenic acid and ascorbic acid, and large amounts of anthocyanins, which are lacking in traditional cultivars. Scientific reports indicate that the potato should be part of a healthy diet due to its antioxidant properties that are of great importance in health prophylaxis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Food allergy is a significant medical and social problem. Despite numerous scientific publications, complete epidemiological data are lacking. In order to provide good quality data from European countries, the EuroPrevall project - a multicentre international cohort study - was established. The study concerned epidemiology, diagnostic methods, allergy phenotypes, and socio-economic issues. The results of the research have been published in a number of original publications, and the aim of this work is to summarize the scientific reports contained therein and to compare the characteristics of food allergy in Poland against other European countries. Reports on allergies to selected following food groups were summarized: cow's milk, hen's egg, peanuts, hazelnuts, kiwi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Jan Potocki – the most famous European traveler of the Enlightenment and a scholar who was expert in many cultures – made a journey by land to China in 1806. As part of a group of eleven scholars, which he led, he was included in an official Russian mission numbering 250 persons that traveled to the Middle Kingdom in order to establish trading links. On the way, the scholars carried out, inter alia, geological, botanical, and climate research. Potocki prepared maps, descriptions of specimens, and reports of scientific achievements. However, the Russian mission was turned back from the border area for infringing diplomatic principles regarding respect for the traditions and culture of China. Only Potocki obtained permission to cross the border of the Empire on the return journey. This was the first entry of a European into China by land. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The number of people suffering from atopic dermatitis is increasing every year. This disease has a complex etiology, and one of the factors intensifying its symptoms is food hypersensitivity. There are many studies indicating the contribution of food allergies to exacerbations of atopic dermatitis. However, the more accurate role of food allergy in this process leaves much to be explained. It is interesting that there are scientific reports showing a significant improvement in the skin condition of patients with AD after eliminating allergenic foods from their diet. The aim of the work is to collect and systematize knowledge on the common occurrence of AD and food allergy, and the impact of food allergy on the course of AD, based on current domestic and foreign literature.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by a slow loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to significant decrease in dopamine (DA) levels in the striatum. Currently used drugs, such as levodopa (L-DOPA), amantadine, dopamine agonists (D) or anticholinergic drugs, are not effective enough, and do not eliminate the causes of disease. Many research centers are conducting research on new forms of currently used drugs (e.g. Duodopa, XP21279, IPX066), new drugs of already known groups (e.g. safinamide), medicines that suppress side effects of L-DOPA (e.g. AFQ056, fipamezole), and, finally, compounds with a novel mechanism of action (e.g. PMY50028, A2A receptor antagonists). A lot of scientific reports indicate an important role of A2A receptors in the regulation of the central movement system, so a new group of compounds - selective antagonists of A2A receptors (e.g. istradefylline, preladenant, SYN115) - has been developed and their potential use in PD has been examined. Clinical studies of A2A receptor antagonists have shown that this group of compounds can shorten off periods and at the same time they do not worsen dyskinesias in patients with PD. Moreover, there is ongoing research on new forms of treatment, such as gene therapy. Attempts to apply the viral vector AAV-2, which will be able to infect neurons with a variety of genes, including the gene of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), neurturin (NTN), or aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase, are currently being carried out. The results of phase I and II clinical studies showed some efficacy of this form of treatment, but the method requires further studies. An analysis of potential future therapies of Parkinson's disease suggests that some progress in this field has been made [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
