Epidemiological Situation

OBJECTIVE. To assess the epidemiological situation of giardiasis in Poland in 2017. MATERIAL AND METHOD. The assessment of the epidemiological situation of giardiasis in Poland was carried out on the basis of the results of the analysis of data from the annual bulletins “Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland”, information from forms on individual cases provided by PSSE employees through the Epidemiological Case Reporting System (SRWE), information on outbreaks transferred by PSSE employees through the Registry of Epidemic Outbreaks (ROE), as well as data on deaths from the Department of Demographic Studies of the Central Statistical Office. RESULTS. This is the first epidemiological report on giardiasis in Poland published in the epidemiological Chronicle. The number of new giardiasis cases registered in Poland in 2017 was 1 229 cases, incidence rate 3.2 per 100 000 population. Compared to previous years, the number of registered cases decreased. There were no deaths. Hospitalizations accounted for around 24.5% of all cases. All giardiasis cases met the criteria for the definition of a confirmed case. In 2017, there were 4 outbreaks of giardiasis. CONCLUSIONS. The long-term decline in the number of cases and incidence in Poland indicates an improvement of the epidemiological situation. In comparison with epidemiological data for EU / EEA countries, Poland does not stand out significantly in terms of the number of cases, incidence or seasonality distribution of cases.

THE AIM. The aim of the study is to assess the epidemiological situation of salmonellosis in 2015-2016 in Poland, compared to the previous years. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The assessment of the epidemiological situation was performed on the basis of data from bulletins “Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland”, information from the laboratories of Sanitaryepidemiological Stations and data from epidemiological investigations of outbreaks which were provided by Sanitary-epidemiological Stations through the Register of Epidemic Outbreaks (ROE) to the Department of Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and Surveillance as well as data from the Department of Demographic Studies of the Central Statistical Office. Cases were classified according to the implemented case definitions. RESULTS. In 2015, a total of 8 650 cases salmonellosis were reported. Among them 8 418 were cases of intestinal salmonellosis and 232 of extraintestinal one. Total incidence was 22.5/100 000. 8235 (95,2%) cases met the criteria for confirmed case and 415 cases were classified as probable. In comparison to 2014, the percentage of hospitalized persons increased slightly and remained at a high level of 71.8%. The increase of salmonellosis cases, as in previous years, occurred in the summer months. In 2015 he highest incidence was recorded in the Małopolskie and Mazowieckie voivodeships, and the lowest in the Lubuskie. Children 0-4 were most often affected, especially at the age of 2 and 3 years old. Number of reported foodborne outbreaks caused by Salmonella was 190. Among them 154 were caused by Salmonella Enteritidis. This serotype, as in previous years was the most frequently isolated. Out of the 433 571 tested people who were working with food, 0.2% were infected with Salmonella. In 2016, the total number of reported cases of salmonellosis was 10,027 cases, which was close to 16% increase in cases compared to the previous year and over 19% increase compared to 2014. There were registered 9,701 cases of intestinal and 326 extraintestinal infections. 9,713 cases were classified as confirmed, accounting for 96.9% of all and 314 cases were classified as probable ones. The percentage of hospitalizations in 2016 remained at a similar level as in previous years (71.1%). The peak of incidence as in the previous year was in July. The highest numbers of cases were recorded in the Małopolskie and Mazowieckie voivodeships, which accounted for 23% of all reported cases. As in previous years, most often affected were children at the age 0-4. In 2016 number of reported outbreaks of foodborne infections caused by Salmonella sp. was 240. In 85% of them S. Enteritidis serotype was isolated, which as in previous years was the serotype most frequently isolated in outbreaks and sporadic diseases. Among 443 419 people working with food who were tested for Salmonella 0,2% were positive, as in the previous year. CONCLUSIONS. The increase in the incidence of salmonellosis in 2015-2016 in Poland may be related to the outbreak detected in 2016, covering more than a dozen EU countries, associated with eggs originating in Poland. Observed in the last several years high percentage of hospitalizations due to salmonellosis is a consequence of rare laboratory testing for salmonellosis by GPs of patients with gastroenteritis. It also results in the low sensitivity of salmonella surveillance in Poland.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study is to assess the epidemiological situation of campylobacteriosis in Poland in 2017 in comparison to previous years. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The evaluation is based on analysis of data from the annual bulletin “Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland”, information from individual campylobacter case reports sent by local sanitary-epidemiological stations through the Electronic Registry of Epidemiological Forms (System Rejestracji Wywiadów Epidemiologicznych - SRWE), information on outbreaks shared through the Electronic Registry of Epidemic Outbreaks (Rejestr Ognisk Epidemicznych - ROE) and data on deaths from the Department of Demographic Studies of the Central Statistical Office. RESULTS. There were 874 registered cases in Poland in 2017, all of them were confirmed cases. Incidence for Poland was 2.27/100 000 population. The highest incidence was observed in lubuskie voivodeship (7.57/100 000), małopolskie (4.64/100 000), śląskie (4.31/100 000) and warmińsko-mazurskie (3.48/100 000). In 2017 increasing trend of proportion of hospitalization was identified again. The rate was on 80% level. Campylobacter species was identified in 89% of all reported cases. Similarly to previous years, vast majority of cases was caused by Campylobacter jejuni - 91%. Among all reported cases, majority of them (72%, 629 cases) was identified in children aged 0-4. In 2017 one campylobacteriosis outbreak was reported. CONCLUSIONS. Campylobacteriosis in Poland is still underreported and rarely diagnosed. Routine Campylobacter diagnosis is performed only by laboratories in small number of poviats which make it way harder to properly assess the campylobacteriosis epidemiological situation in Poland.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study is to assess the epidemiological situation of campylobacteriosis in Poland in 2015 and 2016 in comparison to the previous years. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The evaluation is based on analysis of data from the annual bulletins „Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland”, information from individual campylobacter case reports sent to the Department of Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and Surveillance, NIPH-NIH by regional sanitary-epidemiological stations, information on outbreaks sent by local sanitary-epidemiological stations through the system ROE (Electronic Registry of Epidemic Outbreaks) and data on deaths from the Department of Demographic Studies of the Central Statistical Office. RESULTS. In Poland in 2015 653 cases of campylobacteriosis were registered, in 2016 – 787 cases. In comparison to 2014: the number of cases in 2015 number of cases remained at he similar level, in 2016 there was 20% increase in the number of cases. The incidence was 1.7/100 000 population in 2015 and 2.05/100 000 in 2016. All cases registered in 2015 were confirmed cases, among those occurred in 2016 there were 773 confirmed cases and 14 probable cases. In both, 2015 and 2016 incidence significantly higher than the average for Poland was in 3 voivodeships: Lubuskie (5.39/100 000 in 2015 and 5.9/100 000 in 2016), Warmińsko-Mazurskie (4.78 and 4.03) and Śląskie (4.43 and 4.47). The overall proportion of hospitalizations was higher than in previous years – 75.5% in 2015 and 77.1% in 2016. In both 2015 and 2016 Campylobacter species was determined in more than 80% of cases, among them above 90% of infections were caused by C. jejuni. As in previous years most cases occurred among children aged from 0 to 4. In 2015 there were 4 outbreaks of campylobacteriosis, in 2016 – 5 outbreaks. CONCLUSIONS. In Poland there is continuous increase in number of registered campylobacteriosis cases but diagnosis and reporting is overall rare. Routine Campylobacter diagnosis is performed only in some poviats what makes assessment of epidemiological situation in a country not possible to conduct.

AIM. The aim of the study is to assess the epidemiological situation of salmonellosis in 2017 in Poland compared to the previous years. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The assessment of the epidemiological situation was performed on the basis of data submitted to the Department of Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and Surveillance NIPH-NIH by sanitaryepidemiological stations by means of the Epidemiological Case Reporting System (SRWE) and the Registry of Epidemic Outbreaks (ROE), along with data from the annual bulletin “Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2017” (NIPH-NIH, CSI, Warsaw 2018), and information from the laboratories of Sanitary epidemiological Stations as well as data from the Department of Demographic Studies of the Central Statistical Office. RESULTS. In 2017, 10 000 cases of Salmonella infection were registered in Poland, 9 710 were cases of intestinal salmonellosis, 290 were forms of extraintestinal salmonellosis. The incidence rate per 100 thousand population was 26.0. The hospitalization rate for all salmonellosis cases was 63.3%. Confirmed cases accounted for 92,1% of all cases, the remaining 7.9% were probable cases. Peak incidence occurred, as in previous years, in the summer months. The voivodships with the largest number of cases caused by Salmonella were the Mazowieckie and Małopolskie voivodeships, the least was recorded in the Lubuskie voivodeship. The age group in which the highest percentage of food poisonings was recorded were children aged 0-4, while extraintestinal forms most often concerned people aged over 60. 278 food poisoning outbreaks were recorded, in which Salmonella Enteritidis was the most frequently isolated serotype. This serotype was most often isolated in foodborne outbreaks and in sporadic cases, it is responsible for 92% of all salmonellosis. Salmonella infection was found in 0.2% of people working with food and in 8.1% of contacts of the cases. According to data from the Central Statistical Office, 10 people died of salmonellosis in 2017. CONCLUSIONS. In 2017, the number of people infected with Salmonella was as high as in 2016, the reason for the persistence of such a high number of cases may be the association of some infections with an international salmonellosis outbreak, the peak of which was in 2016. The high incidence of salmonellosis may also be a consequence of legal changes introduced in 2014 regarding the reporting of positive test results by laboratories for epidemiological surveillance.

AIM. The aim of the study is to assess epidemiological situation of yersiniosis in Poland in 2017 in comparison to previous years. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The evaluation is based on analysis of data from the annual bulletins “Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland”, information from individual yersiniosis case reports entered and shared by local sanitary-epidemiological stations through Electronic Registry of Epidemiologic Forms (SRWE), information from individual extraintestinal case reports fulfilled by local sanitary-epidemiological station and sent to the Departments of Epidemiology, National Institute of Public Health - National Institute of Hygiene by regional sanitary-epidemiological stations, information on outbreaks shared through the Electronic Registry of Epidemic Outbreaks (ROE) and data on deaths from the Department of Demographic Studies of the Central Statistical Office. RESULTS. In 2017 255 cases of yersiniosis, including 191 intestinal and 64 extraintestinal were registered. Incidence in 2017 was 0.66/100 000 population. Number of cases registered in 2017 was higher than in 2015 and 2016 (for both years 205 cases with incidence 0.53/100 000 was observed) and similar to the one in 2014 (244 cases, incidence 0.63/100 000). In 2017 all intestinal yersiniosis cases met criteria for confirmed case. Around 35% of cases were registered in mazowieckie voivodship where incidence was similar to the one in European Union. Among Y. enterocolitica isolates, serotype was determined in 62 cases what stands for only 28.7% of all cases. Predominant serotype was 03, it was identified in 81% of serotyped cases. Most of intestinal yersiniosis cases occurred among children under 4 years (54.5% of all registered cases). CONCLUSIONS. In 2017 increase in number of cases was observed. Yersiniosis in Poland is rarely diagnosed, incidence in Poland is more than twice time lower than in European Union.

AbstractIntroduction. Late detected breast and cervical cancer are two of the most dangerous cancers due to the therapeutic possibilities and high mortality rate of women. Conducted scientific research, prevention programs and social campaigns do not contribute to changes in the attitudes of Polish women who, do not report for examinations and thus, preclude the possibility of early diagnosis.Aim. The aim of the study is to analyze epidemiological data on the occurrence of cancer in women in Poland and to draw attention to the importance of prevention in this area.Material and methods. For epidemiological analyzes, data from the National Cancer Registry, the Central Statistical Office and the Supreme Medical Chamber from the years 2014-2018 were prepared using descriptive methods.Discussion. Every year the number of cancer deaths increases (SAO, 2018). Prevention, despite financing from the state budget, did not bring the intended goal. More than half of the surveyed men claimed that women after mastectomy lose their attractiveness and those men would not start a new relationship with such women. Despite the fact that permanent, long-term partners accept the appearance of their partner after mastectomy, women are ashamed of their sexuality, what has its consequence in problems in the relationship or even the end of this relationship.Conclusions. 1) Insufficient number of specialists in the field of oncology results in the fact that not every patient has a chance to be early diagnosed and to early start the treatment. 2) Regular examinations may contribute to a decrease in deaths caused by two most dangerous female cancers. 3) Diagnosis of breast cancer, cervical cancer and its effects have a negative impact on the psyche of women, especially on the perception of their femininity. In relationships in which there was a strong emotional bond before the woman’s disease, an improvement in sexual life was noted. Important factors affecting such relationship are: self-acceptance of a woman and her sense of attractiveness. 4) Large financial expenditures on preventive programs do not guarantee an increase in the detection of tumors nor a decrease in the number of deaths.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study is to assess the epidemiological situation of yersiniosis in Poland in 2015 and 2016 in comparison to the previous years. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The evaluation is based on analysis of data from the annual bulletins „Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland” (4,5), information from individual yersiniosis case reports sent to the Department of Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and Surveillance, NIPH-NIH by regional sanitaryepidemiological stations, information on outbreaks delivered by local sanitary-epidemiological stations through the system „Rejestr Ognisk Epidemicznych” (Electronic Registry of Epidemic Outbreaks) and data on deaths from the Department of Demographic Studies of the Central Statistical Office. RESULTS. The number of registered yersiniosis cases in Poland in 2015 and 2016 was the same – 205 cases, corresponding to annual incidence of 0.53/100 000. Among them in 2015 there were 172 intestinal yersiniosis cases and 33 extraintestinal yersiniosis cases and in 2016 – 167 intestinal yersiniosis cases and 38 extraintestinal yersiniosis cases. In 2015 and 2016 all intestinal yersiniosis cases met the criteria for confirmed case. In turn, among extraintestinal yersiniosis cases in 2015 26 cases met criteria for probable case and 7 for confirmed case and in 2016 – 32 for probable and 6 for confirmed case. Both in 2015 and in 2016 the incidence in mazowieckie voivodeship (1.61/100 000 in 2015 and 1.55/100 000 in 2016) largely exceeded the average incidence in Poland. The overall proportion of hospitalizations, 59.5% in 2015 and 58% in 2016, remained at the level similar to the preceding years. Serotype of the isolated Yersinia enterocolitica in 2015 in Poland was determined in 59 cases (32% of all Y. enterocolitica isolates). In 2016 serotype was determined in 47 cases of Y. enterocolitica infections (27% of all Y. enterocolitica isolates). Predominant serotype was O3. As in the previous years about 1/3 of infections occurred among children aged 0-4 (110 cases, 34.9% in 2015 and 92 cases, 30.9% in 2016). In 2015 there were no yersiniosis outbreaks, in 2016 there was one outbreak caused by Y. enterolitica. CONCLUSIONS. Yersiniosis in Poland is rarely diagnosed and is likely underreported. The percentage of serotyped isolates continues to be low.

Objective: Epidemiological data analysis concerning the spread of brucellosis in Russia and Primorsky Region, study of the manifestations of the epidemic process and the current state of brucellosis issue.Methods: Descriptive epidemiological analysis of materials on infectious morbidity based on state statistical reporting forms No. 1, No. 2 “Information on infectious and parasitic morbidity”.Results: Brucellosis affects workers in the main occupational groups of livestock breeders, workers involved in the processing of livestock, who contact sick animals and other sources of brucellosis infection. Primorsky Region is a territory with an unstable epidemiological situation on brucellosis. A different morbidity rates were registered over the years. However usually it does not exceed the national average rate. In 2009, the morbidity rate counted 27.5% less than in Russian Federation (0.21 and 0.29 per 100,000 respectively), compared to previous years, the average long-term morbidity rate in the region increased by 3.5 times. The disease rate for the period from 2009 to 2019 ranged from 0.05 to 0.21%. In 2012, it exceeded the index in the Far Eastern Federal District (0.1 per 100,000 population). Brucellosis cases were detected among livestock breeders during an extraordinary medical examination due to the bad situation on brucellosis among animals.Conclusions: In recent decades, the epizootic and epidemiological situation on brucellosis remains tense due to the decrease in the number of serological and bacteriological studies among animals and humans, the weakening of veterinary-sanitary control and the formation of new private farms.

The Impact

Competitiveness at the firm level is a subject of interest not only to managers and policy makers but also academics. An effective functioning under the conditions of new economy requires from the enterprises to develop their core capabilities and talents along with the ability to quickly identify and seize the opportunities generated by market environment. The implementation of such an approach allows the creation and sustain of economic surpluses in the long-run. The paper aims to examine the profitability of enterprises in Poland which is regarded in the context of absorption of EU funds in years 2007–2013. Taking into account that Poland became one of the largest beneficiaries, it is worth analyzing the impact of EU funding on the economic performance of Polish enterprises. The paper offers a critical reflection on the relationship between the absorption of EU funds and Polish enterprises competitiveness on the basis of  the content analysis literature and statistical data derived from the European Commission, the Central Statistical Office and the Ministry of Regional Development. It is assumed simultaneously that the competitiveness of enterprises is expressed in the term of profitability rates. In spite of limitations which relate to the adopted definition of competitiveness and the short period of the conducted analysis concerning the key relationship, the paper contributes to the debate on the significance of EU Funds in the process of building modern and innovative economy.

Definition Of

This article offers an approach through administrative and cultural history to the problems associated with gathering and processing data for the Spanish national census of 1920, and by implication for earlier Spanish censuses. It focuses on the Basque province of Guipúzcoa, making use of correspondence between the central statistical office in Madrid, the provincial jefe de estadística and the localities, and of reports on three problematic towns within the province. The issues that emerge regarding ‘undercounting’, the definition of administrative boundaries and the classification of demographic characteristics are set in the wider context of census-taking practices and problems elsewhere in Spain and in other cultures.
