Abstract Essential oils (EOs) are widely investigated as multifunctional agents for cosmetic applications due to antimicrobial and antioxidant properties; however, their efficacy and safety depend on chemical composition and microbiological selectivity. This study characterized ten commercially available EOs (basil, lavender, melissa, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, clove, tea tree) and evaluated their antistaphylococcal and antioxidant activities. Chemical composition was analyzed using GC-MS and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, while antistaphylococcal activity was assessed against Staphylococcus spp. isolated from skin microbiota using the microbroth dilution method. Antioxidant capacity was determined by the DPPH assay. Multivariate statistical analyses were applied to explore chemical composition–activity relationships. The EOs showed distinct chemical profiles dominated by phenolic compounds (eugenol, carvacrol, thymol), oxygenated monoterpenes (linalool, menthol, 1,8-cineole), and terpenoids. Clove, oregano, and thyme EOs exhibited the strongest antistaphylococcal activity …

The archaeological investigations and exhumations of the skeletal remains were carried out on the site of the former NKVD camp called Speclagier No. 2 in Poznań, Poland. Work took place during two research seasons: 27 November–1 December 2017 and 7–18 May 2018. The research aimed to examine human remains, with particular emphasis on bone and dental pathology, to collect data to facilitate the victim identification. A total of 44 pits were discovered, 15 of which were grave pits, some single, some with the skeletal remains of up to 11 people. Twenty-eight of 44 examined skeletons disclosed different types of pathological lesions: numerous changes resulting from chronic inflammation, cases of ankylosing spondylitis and Klippel-Feil syndrome, healed fractures and some with signs of surgical treatment. One of the skeletons was 3D reconstructed …

Keywords placental diabesity, maternal obesity, gestational diabetes mellitus, placental dysfunction, fetal programming, metabolic disease Abstract Background. Maternal diabesity, defined as the coexistence of obesity and diabetes during pregnancy, is an increasingly prevalent metabolic condition associated with adverse maternal, placental, and fetal outcomes. Beyond hyperglycemia, it is characterized by chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, which impair placental development and function. The fetoplacental unit represents a critical interface through which maternal metabolic disturbances shape fetal growth and long-term health. Aim. To integrate current evidence on placental diabesity, focusing on key mechanisms linking maternal metabolic dysfunction to placental maladaptation and its clinical implications for pregnancy and offspring outcomes. Material and methods. This research was based on a literature review of PubMed and Web of Science articles published between 2010-2025. Peer-reviewed …
- Pilot regional analysis of emergency medical services and medication efficacy in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. [AUT.] MARIUSZ GONIEWICZ, KAMIL BEDNARZ, AHMED M. AL-WATHINANI, [AUT.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a critical public health challenge, with survival rates influenced by regional emergency medical services (EMS) protocols. This study evaluates the impact of EMS-administered medications on return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in OHCA cases within the Lublin Voivodeship, Poland. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 4361 OHCA cases from 2014 to 2017 was conducted using EMS records identified through International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) and ICD-9 codes. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression, assessed the associations between medication administration and ROSC outcomes. Results: ROSC was achieved in 32.7% of cases. Epinephrine, administered in 89.06% of cases, was not significantly associated with ROSC (p = 0.425). Amiodarone, used in 18.27% of cases, was significantly associated with ROSC in shockable rhythms (p = …

Background: Multimodal AI integration across genomics, radiomics, and pathomics is rapidly evolving in oncology, but evidence remains heterogeneous and unevenly distributed across modalities. Objective: To map empirical studies integrating two or more -omic modalities, summarize integration and validation approaches, and identify gaps informing future directions toward surgomics. Methods: We conducted a scoping review in accordance with PRISMA-ScR, searching PubMed, Ovid, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar for English-language studies published from January 2020 to 5 March 2025. We charted study characteristics, modalities combined, fusion strategies, AI model categories, validation approaches, and reported performance metrics as presented by the original studies. Results: From 184 records, 11 studies met inclusion criteria (n = 1078 total participants across reported studies), most focusing on radiomics–pathomics integration; fewer incorporated genomics, and tri-modal fusion was uncommon. …
