Pharmacology at the Jagiellonian University was taught since the foundation of the University in 1364 under then used names of medical botany and pharmacognosy. The first in Poland Division of Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy was created in 1857. Modern era in the history of pharmacology in Krakow starts in 1929 when Prof. Janusz Supniewski became the Head of the Department. He was the relentless researcher whose scientific interests were as diverse as ranging from anticancer chemotherapeutics, antibiotics, and oral hypoglycemic drugs to lipid-lowering agents. Skills of organic chemistry synthesis were of paramount importance for the scientific achievements. Prof. Supniewski died in 1964, leaving the Department well equipped in instruments. He raised in his laboratory many eminent scientists who later beacame heads of pharmacology departments throughout Poland. In 1964, the Head of the Department of Pharmacology became Prof. Ryszard Gryglewski. Under his leadership the Department focused scientific efforts on various aspects of cardiovascular pharmacology. Prof. Gryglewski established collaborations with many of the best pharmacology researchers in the world, including Sir John Vane, Nobel Prize laureate. Prof. Gryglewski's assistants had ample opportunity to train in these laboratories and to bring these skills back to Krakow. Prof. Gryglewski and his team published many articles in the most prestigious scientific journals. The most important themes included discovery of prostacyclin, role of nitric oxide and of free radicals for vascular biology. Since 2003, when Prof. Gryglewski retired, the Department of Pharmacology has been led by Prof. Ryszard Korbut.
The aim of the study is to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii infection in women of reproductive age within the Małopolska province who were examined in the Laboratory of Microbiological Diagnostics, Chair of Microbiology in Cracow in 2013–2014. Seventy-eight questionnaires completed by women of reproductive age (mean age 29.91±6.56) were analysed. In total, 82% of respondents signed up for serological testing while already pregnant (33 patients in the age group 18–29 years and 30 patients in the age group 30–39 years). Twentyseven percent had no previous contact with the parasite. A statistically significant (chi-square=7.722, p=0.005) correlation between permanent residence in the countryside and the presence of anti-T. gondii antibodies was found. A significant correlation was shown in the studied group between a lack of contact with soil and negative results of serological tests for toxoplasmosis (chi-square=4.116, p=0.042). The majority of the surveyed women had already encountered this parasite. It seems that special attention should be given to rural women. Implementation of more precise testing in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is also essential.
The number of people who suffer from eating disorders is still growing (1). Eating disorders like bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa may alter all people but in most danger are young women and some sportsmen. The aim of presented studies was to gain some information about physical condition and mental life of polish medical students for estimation a range of danger of bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa for them. By using a questionnaire “Woman Self Image and Social Ideals” there were 348 students examined: 181 students of medicine, 77 students of dentistry and 90 nursery students. According this questionnaire underweight students (BMI < 20 kg/m2 accept their physical appearance and none of them feel fat. More important for them are psychological problems than problems with figure. On the contrary, overweight students do not accept own appearance and almost half of them would prefer to be slim but without any restrictive methods like for example induced vomiting or excessive exercises. The other part of questionnaire entitled “My Own Image of Perfect Society” shows that in the opinion of all examined students the most important for people who live in perfect society are: professional competence, professional self-achievement and simultaneously a perfect figure. The last desirable attribute is to make career without any scruples. All results allowed the conclusion, that questionnaired medical students are awaken to the danger of bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa, but social and medical importance of eating disorders call for future research in order to determine groups with particular risk factors of eating disorders.
