RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Lung transplantation (LTx) is the last treatment option for children with end-stage respiratory failure. According to the literature, cystic fibrosis remains the most common cause of pediatric LTx. The study aimed to assess the characteristics of pediatric LTx recipients as well as the outcomes of the transplantation. METHODS: Our study is a single-center retrospective review of clinical data of all 11 patients who underwent a LTx before the age of 18 years between the years 2016 and 2020. Medical records were examined for patients' characteristics, general treatment, and complications. RESULTS: There were a total of 11 patients (8 males) with a median age 14.5 years (range: 11-17). The primary diseases that led to LTx were: cystic fibrosis in 8 patients (72.73%), hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia in 2 patients (18.18%), and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension in 1 patient (9.09%). Median period from qualification to LTx was 235.55 days (range: 11-748). Two patients (18.18%) underwent lung retransplantation after 3 and 5 years. One patient passed away 10 months after surgery due to noncompliance. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric lung transplantation is less common than lung transplantation in adults. It also differs in fields of donors accessibility, stronger immune system response and noncompliance that may lead to graft failure.

RESUMO

Ego-resiliency is a set of traits that promotes positive adaptation to life's vicissitudes. High ego-resiliency helps in upholding one's personality system when facing adversity and in adjusting it to new environmental demands. Our study aimed at evaluating the connections between ego-resiliency, the severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as life satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland. A total of 604 Polish citizens aged 16 to 69 years participated in the online survey. Ego-resiliency was measured with the Ego Resiliency Scale (ER89-R12), anxiety and depression with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and life satisfaction with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Statistical analyses were performed using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient. The results revealed correlations between the intensity of depressive and anxiety symptoms, life satisfaction, and the intensity of ego-resiliency. Individuals with a high level of ego-resiliency tended to experience a lower intensity of anxiety and depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, individuals with a high level of ego-resiliency exhibited a higher level of life satisfaction. Our conclusions might assist in better understanding the close link between levels of ego-resiliency, the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms, and satisfaction with life among Polish individuals experiencing crises.

RESUMO

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced everyone to comply with rules of a sanitary regime and social distancing on a daily basis. The aim of our research was to assess the differences in the levels of Dark Triad traits between people who obeyed and disobeyed the pandemic restrictions. Additionally, we considered the possible correlation between the Dark Triad and the intensity of symptoms of depression and anxiety. A total of 604 Polish participants, whose average age was 28.95 ± 11.27 years, completed an online survey which measured Dark Triad traits using the Polish version of the Dirty Dozen test. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The results revealed a possible relationship between personality traits and compliance with pandemic restrictions. Individuals with higher levels of psychopathy tended to disobey newly introduced rules. On the other hand, a higher level of subclinical narcissism might have contributed to a better civil compliance. The results showed a significant positive correlation between the intensity of the Dark Triad and the occurrence of depressive symptoms. Furthermore, narcissism was linked to anxiety symptoms. These results can contribute to a better understanding of behavioural patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic within the group of individuals who exhibit the Dark Triad traits. Our conclusions might help to identify individuals who are particularly vulnerable to mental health problems.
