“…Kauppila review article (2009) reports a strong association between DD and LBP with smoking [9]. In the study by Jones et al on 282 individuals older than 60, smoking at the time of examination had an effect on the development and severity of spinal osteophytes, with intermediate values for past smokers [1]. In the Finnish cohort study by Takatalo et al on 558 young people with the mean age of 21 years, continuous smoking for at least 4 years was associated with DD among males [17].…”

“…The incidence and severity of degenerative Disc Diseases (DD) are associated with increasing age [4]. In the past, the heavy physical load was accounted for the most important cause of these diseases, while recent studies emphasize on a variety of factors [1,5]. In addition to physical and job activities, weight-induced pressure and abdominal obesity involved in lumbar disc degeneration [6,7], a direct relationship between lipid profile and risk factors for atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD), with DD and Low Back Pain (LBP) has been shown in epidemiological and clinical studies, especially in recent years [7][8][9].…”

Background and Aim: There is no consensus over the relationship between lipid profiles and atherosclerosis risk factors with lumbar disc degeneration. This study aims to investigate the lipid profile and some risk factors of cardiovascular diseases in patients undergoing surgery for lumbar disc degeneration. Methods and Materials/Patients: A correlational cross-sectional study was carried out on all candidates for lumbar disc degenerative diseases surgery at Poursina Hospital in Rasht City, Iran from July to December 2017 (130 adult patients aged 20-77 years). The obtained data were collected from the patients' medical file or asking them after obtaining written informed consent. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS V. 16 by performing the Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests to examine the relationship between the study variables. The significance level was set at P≤0.05 for all tests. Results: 60.8% of subjects had comorbid diseases, mostly hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Their mean low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride levels were higher than normal and their mean total cholesterol was at borderline. Also, 74.6% and 84.6% of the patients had Body Mass Index and abdominal circumference higher than the normal range. Physical activity in 88.5% of subjects was below the desired level and 79.2% of the patients did not report a history of smoking. Inferential findings indicated a significant relationship between dyslipidemia and various types of lumbar disc degenerative diseases (P<0.05). Conclusion: The study showed dyslipidemia and some other risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, including obesity and inactivity in patients with lumbar disc degenerative disease. More research is needed to assess other atherosclerosis risk factors and types of lipids with respect to disc degenerative diseases.

S u m m a r yThanks to recent advances in health care an increased number of patients may recover from severe brain injuries, but some of them are still assessed as non-responsive. Reliance on behavioural measures in communication with DoC patients seems be too prone to errors. There is need for solutions providing more objective attempts of bidirectional communication (intentional questions/commands and adequate related responses) in patients with DoC using significant processed by the patient stimuli and novel technologies (EEG-, fMRI-, BCI-based, etc.) based on recent scientific and clinical evidences. Such communication may be fulfilled even in the absence of behavior.This article aims at assessment the extent to which current possibilities in the area of devices for extended communication has been exploited, including own experiences within InteRDoCTor project. S t r e s z c z e n i e Dzięki najnowszym osiągnięciom w opiece zdrowotnej coraz większa liczba pacjentów może powrócić do zdrowia z poważnych urazów mózgu, lecz część z nich jest ciągle diagnozowana jako niereagujący na bodźce. Poleganie jedynie na miarach behawioralnych w komunikacji z pacjentami z zaburzeniami świadomości wydaje się zbyt podatne na błędy. Istnieje zapotrzebowanie na rozwiązania zapewniające bardziej obiektywne próby komunikacji dwukierunkowej (celowe pytania/polecenia i odpowiadające im reakcje)u pacjentów z zaburzeniami świadomości, z wykorzystaniem bodźców znaczących dla pacjenta i przetwarzanych przez niego oraz nowych technologii (opartych na EEG, fMRI, BCI, itd.) w oparciu o najnowsze dowody naukowe i kliniczne. Ww. komunikacja może być realizowana nawet w przypadku braku obserwowalnych zmian zachowania pacjenta.Artykuł ma na celu ocenę, w jakim zakresie wykorzystuje się możliwości w tym obszarze, w tym w oparciu o doświadczenia własne z projektu InteRDoCTor.
