The aim of this study was to map available data related to physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) in Polish children and adolescents and, based on the collected conclusions, to present suggestions for promoting PA and reducing sedentary behavior. The analysis of literature was performed according to PRISMA-ScR, based on the Medical Subject Headings System of National Library of Medicine. MEDLINE and PubMed databases were used. We searched for publications between January 2000 and December 2022. 634 publications were identified, and 47 were included. The publications conducted focused on adolescents who were approximately 15 years of age. Larger percentage of girls participated in the survey. Publications have confirmed non-fulfilment of PA recommendations for maintaining the health of Polish children and youth. The 33% representation of publications dealing with the issue of PA and SB in an international context is positive. The diversity and breadth of approaches to solving PA and SB issues are beneficial, but at the same time, it draws attention to the lack of a national system for monitoring the physical and sedentary behavior of children and youth in Poland. Future research should focus more on monitoring of health-related 24-hour time use patterns, usage of wearable monitors for measurement of PA, use of a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as the use of an all-Polish representative research sample.

Introduction: Affective disorders and carbohydrate metabolism disorders are problems of increasing importance in the population of children, teenagers and young adults. Much evidence indicates that these problems may co-occur with increased frequency and have much more serious consequences than on their own. Material and methods: Inclusion criteria were established for the review of studies and comprised participants under 25 years of age diagnosed with carbohydrate metabolism disorders, psychometric measurements of symptoms of affective disorders and self-aggressive tendencies. Review of the MEDLINE database was conducted. Discussion: The results of 10 out of 12 studies included in the review indicated significantly increased risk of depression and suicidal tendencies in patients with diabetes. In the described publications, the frequency of affective disorders in a specific population ranged from 1.2% to 47.6% and up to 60.4% for unspecified affective disorder, sub-threshold and fully symptomatic, and the HR ranged from 1.33 to 2.0 for fully symptomatic affective disorders and up to 6.49 for unspecified affective disorder, sub-threshold and fully symptomatic. Descriptions of the incidence of self-injurious behavior and suicidal tendencies estimate them in the range from 0.8% to 35.7%, and in the studies comparing to a control group, the risk for a suicide attempt was between HR: 1.7 and 3.25. Conclusions: The occurrence of affective disorders in children and young adults is significantly more frequent in patients with diabetes compared to patients without carbohydrate metabolism disorders.

Introduction and objective: The aim of this study was to assess cognitive functions in adolescents with a depressive episode, associated with attention, processing speed, verbal learning, and executive function. Additionally, it focused on potential gender differences in the pattern and severity of the deficits. Materials and methods: The study involved 63 adolescents with a depressive episode (56% girls) and 43 healthy controls (48% girls), aged 16.92 ± 1.3 and 17.24 ± 1.16 years, respectively. The Polish versions of the Children's Depression Inventory-2 and the Beck Depression Inventory-II were used as the measures of mood. Attention was assessed with the use of the d2 test. Processing speed and divided attention were measured with the Color Trails Test. Verbal learning was evaluated with the California Verbal Learning Test. Executive function was assessed with the use of the Ruff Figural Fluency Test, the Tower of London and the Brixton Spatial Anticipation Test. Results: The results show significant cognitive deficits in adolescents with a depressive episode, affecting attention, processing speed, divided attention, verbal learning and executive function, which is consistent with the evidence reported in the existing literature. Notably, planning deficits, measured with the tower task, were more prominent in girls. Verbal learning efficiency was related to the severity of depressive symptoms in depressive episode group. In verbal learning, regardless of gender, adolescents with depression used the semantic clustering strategy less often than their healthy peers. Conclusions: The study highlights the need for tailored therapeutic interventions and treatments for depressive disorders which may ultimately be important for improved academic performance of adolescents with depressive episodes, with particular attention to gender-specific cognitive profiles and approaches.

Introduction: The purpose of this small-scale study was to assess the content validity of a modified subset of 10 items from the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale for Parents (SSQ-P) via a survey of expert opinion. Material and methods: An online survey was used to obtain opinions from 10 experts in the field of children's hearing and hearing assessment. Experts were asked to rate the relevance and representativeness of each SSQ-P item to deaf and hard of hearing children aged 5 years and over. Content validity was assessed by the item content validity index (ICVI), with excellent content validity identified as an ICVI above 0.8. Experts were also asked to suggest where they felt the wording of items could be improved. Results: For all items, ICVIs > 0.8 were obtained for both relevance and representativeness, indicating excellent content validity. Some minor rewording suggestions were made. Conclusions: The 10 items tested are candidates for inclusion in an abbreviated version of SSQ-P. Some minor rewording of items may be required, along with assessment of internal consistency and test--retest stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artykuł prezentuje refleksję nad działalnością wychowawczą Alfonso Marii Fusco, włoskiego duchownego, wychowawcy i społecznika, którego życie i aktywność wychowawcza pozwalają odkryć oryginalny i ponadczasowy zamysł, który inspirował go do podejmowania różnych inicjatyw na rzecz dobra dziecka. Zawarte w artykule treści mogą posłużyć współczesnym nauczycielom i wychowawcom jako ważny punkt odniesienia w poszukiwaniu wartościowych praktyk pedagogicznych, które w sposób istotny mogą wzbogacić ich wiedzę i kompetencje edukacyjne. Ponadto w artykule postuluje się podejmowanie przez pedagogów inicjatyw wychowawczych i profilaktycznych mających na celu czynienie przestrzeni edukacyjnej wolnej od tzw. zachowań ryzykownych, które mogą się pojawić w życiu dzieci i młodzieży.

Introduction: Children rarely self-report having tinnitus and so there is limited understanding of the problems they face and how tinnitus affects their daily lives. In situations where peripheral hearing is normal and the patient reports difficulty understanding speech, one may consider the co-occurrence of other causes, such as central auditory processing disorders (CAPD). The aim of the study was to assess the presence of CAPD symptoms in children with tinnitus. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 10,582 children 13 years old. The study material included questions about tinnitus experience, screening pure tone audiometry, and the results of the Scale of Auditory Behaviors (SAB), in its Polish adaptation, which was used to assess whether they may have CAPD. Results: In children with tinnitus, symptoms that may indicate CAPD were observed. In 2849 children, an SAB total score of less than 46 was obtained, an indication for an extended diagnosis. Among these same children 33.7% experienced tinnitus. The more frequently a child experienced tinnitus, the lower the mean overall SAB score. Conclusions: Children reporting tinnitus should receive additional diagnostic tests for CAPD. The diagnosis should be multispecialty and, in addition to hearing tests, include an in-depth interview, psychological and pedagogical evaluation, and psychoacoustic tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction Facial nerve palsy is a condition with considerable consequences, particularly when it occurs early in life. It poses a serious clinical issue due to its initially unclear etiology, limited treatment options and outcomes, as well as its significant implications both functionally and aesthetically. In children with persistent congenital or acquired facial nerve palsy as a result of trauma or following surgical treatment of malignant neoplastic disease, the therapeutic strategy includes surgical techniques combined with intensive rehabilitation. In children with persistent facial nerve palsy, surgical techniques of dynamic facial reanimation may be considered in order to restore both static and dynamic facial symmetry. A frequently performed procedure is the transfer of functioning innervated muscle flaps. Material and Methods The study group comprised 6 pediatric patients aged 11-17 years diagnosed with persistent facial nerve palsy who were surgically treated to restore facial muscle function between 2018 and 2021. All patients included in the study were surgically treated with a free neurovascular flap from the gracilis muscle of the thigh (GF). The average follow-up period was 22 months (range: 15-29 months). The House-Brackmann facial nerve scoring system (HBGS) was applied in order to objectively assess the recovery of function in the grafted innervated muscle flap during treatment and in the course of postoperative recovery. Results At a mean follow-up period of 22 months, all cases demonstrated at least grade 3 according to the HBGS. Although static reconstruction options are acceptable in certain cases, in pediatric patients due to the extensive plasticity capacity of the brain, the benefits of performing correct functional reconstruction using an innervated free flap of the gracilis muscle of the thigh are substantial and should not be ignored. Conclusions Although further research should concentrate on functional, aesthetic and patient-reported outcomes, conducting studies on a large group of subjects may result in the development of a clinical algorithm which could simplify the assessment and effectively facilitate the treatment of facial nerve palsy in children.

Introduction: To date, the risk factors for overweight and obesity in children with Down's syndrome (DS) have not been comprehensively described, as studies on the subject are rare and usually conducted among small groups. Aim of the research: To assess the dietary habits and physical activity, and their associations with nutritional status, in children with DS compared to a group of their typically developing peers. Material and methods: A sample of 102 children with DS and 107 children without SD aged 5-14 years. Eating habits were assessed using the patient's diary method over three days. Physical activity was measured using pedometers. Nutritional status was assessed based on body mass, height and fat percentage. Results: Children with DS had an excessive body mass index (p < 0.0001) and fat percentage (p < 0.0001) more often than the controls. They showed lower physical activity (p < 0.0001) and a higher risk of an insufficient intake of dietary fibre (p = 0.0113). Other factors potentially affecting body mass and fat percentage in children with DS included age, female gender and fewer underage family members. Conclusions: Physical activity in children with DS is insufficient to prevent chronic diseases. It is necessary to develop intervention programmes aimed at increasing participation in various forms of physical activity and changing their dietary habits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

STRESS OF WAR AND MIGRATION – CONSEQUENCES FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS Stress caused by war and forced migration is an extremely traumatic experience for everyone, both adults and children, consequently causing impairment in general functioning and negative changes in mental health. Children and youth are especially vulnerable to negative effects of traumatic stress and data collected by UN indicate, that, in different parts of the world, millions of children experienced traumatic events, witnessing death of a close relative or being exposed to physical violence. Post traumatic stress disorder is the most frequently observed mental disorder in such circumstances as well as depression and anxiety disorders. Moreover some traumatized children exhibit impairment in school performance and difficulties in social functioning. This article presents a review of literature on traumatic war experiences of children and youth from different countries as well as on consequences of trauma – post traumatic stress disorder, other disorders and impairment in functioning.
