Chirurgia plastyczna w leczeniu pacjentek z zespo łem Turnera
Conclusions Patients with Turner's syndrome require complex multidisciplinary medical treatment. The team of specialists should include: endocrinologist, cardiologist, otolaryngologist, and gynaecologist. The results of our study demonstrate that a plastic surgeon should become an integral part of this team. Correction of external disfigurements improves the patient's appearance, and thus enhances acceptance of the child by peers. It also decreases the fear of rejection in adolescence and improves the quality of life in adult patients. (Source: Pediatria Polska)

Publication date: July–August 2016 Source:Pediatria Polska, Volume 91, Issue 4 Author(s): Kamil K. Hozyasz Phenylketonuria is one of the best-known examples of inherited metabolic diseases.

Quastel and focuses on the contributions of the first medical investigators in the area of abnormal phenylalanine metabolism ...

Witamina K i jej rola w profilaktyce chor ób dzieci w świetle nowych doniesień
Publication date: July–August 2016 Source:Pediatria Polska, Volume 91, Issue 4 Author(s): Agnieszka Kozioł-Kozakowska, Anna Stochel-Gaudyn, Krzysztof Fyderek For many years vitamin K has been considered to be associated only with blood clotting processes.
