Tobacco smoking in Poland in 2003-2014. Multi-centre National Population Health Examination Survey (WOBASZ).
CONCLUSIONS    Although we found smoking rates in Poland have declined over the past decade, smoking remains prevalent among men and women. Therefore it is necessary to optimize the tobacco control in Poland including fiscal policy, counseling and tobacco addiction treatment, promotional and educational activities, with a special emphasis on the female population.

Differences in outcomes in patients with stable coronary artery disease managed by cardiologists versus non-cardiologists: the international prospective CLARIFY registry.
CONCLUSIONS    Outpatients with SCAD managed by cardiologists had a lower rate of cardiovascular outcomes than those managed by non-cardiologists. We did not find clear evidence that cardiologists provided superior guideline-based treatment, so the differences in outcome were most likely due to unquantifiable differences in patient characteristics.

The endosonography-guided needle aspiration in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis - randomized study.

Sensitivity and accuracy of EUS-NA is higher than EBUS-NA, but the difference is not statistically significant.

Immunological biomarkers and long term graft survival. Prospective follow-up of 457 kidney transplant recipients.
CONCLUSIONS    Anti-HLA but not anti-MICA antibodies in randomly obtained blood samples were the significant predictor of late kidney graft failure and could be a low-cost method enabling identification of patients requiring special post-transplant approach. The results of our study provide the additional justification to investigate the immune biomarkers in certain diseases.

Asthma control in adult patients treated with a combination of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-2 agonists: a prospective observational study.
CONCLUSIONS    The results confirm the efficacy and safety of combined ICS/LABA inhalers in a real-life clinical setting. They also corroborate obesity, older age, and smoking as risk factors for poor asthma control. PMID: 28220767 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Polskie Archiwum Medycyny Wewnetrznej)
