Komunikacja interpersonalna w lecznictwie jest bardzo ważnym tematem, wymagającym trwałego rozwoju i dokształcania lekarzy ochrony zdrowia. Artykuł jest raportem z badania, którego celem było poznanie opinii studentów kierunku lekarskiego z polskich uczelni akademickich na ten temat. W badaniu wzięło udział 56 studentek i 38 studentów, którzy odpowiadali na pytania dotyczące: technik komunikacyjnych w relacji lekarz – pacjent, protokołów przekazania niepomyślnej informacji, obaw związanych z kontaktem z danym pacjentem, barier komunikacyjnych, wpływu pandemii COVID-19 na komunikację interpersonalną, oddziałów, z którymi są wiązane największe problemy komunikacyjne, użyteczności zajęć fakultatywnych podczas kształcenia studentów na kierunku lekarskim. Wnioski zostały przedstawione w dyskusji, wraz z możliwościami rozwiązania potencjalnych problemów komunikacyjnych w relacji pacjent – lekarz.

The objective of this meta-analysis was to present transparent data on the morphology of the pituitary gland (PG) using the available data in the literature. The main online medical databases, such as PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science, were searched to gather all relevant studies regarding PG morphology. The mean overall volume of the PG was found to be 597.23 mm3 (SE = 28.81). The mean overall height of the PG was established to be 5.64 mm (SE = 0.11). The mean overall length of the PG was found to be 9.98 mm (SE = 0.26). In the present study, the PG’s overall morphology and morphometric features were analyzed. Our results showed that, on average, females from Asia have the highest volume of PG (706.69 mm3), and males from Europe have the lowest (456.42 mm3). These values are crucial to be aware of because they represent the normal average properties of the PG, which may be used as reference points when trying to diagnose potential pathologies of this gland. Furthermore, the present study’s results prove how the PG’s size decreases with age. The results of the present study may be helpful for physicians, especially surgeons, performing procedures on the PG.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
