abstract = {Recreational winter swimming in cold sea water evokes body responses to regularly repeated cold water immersion. However, the understanding of adaptive changes is still limited and data regarding very short-term exposure to severe cold stress are scarce. The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of regular active cold water exposure on resting blood elements and erythropoietin in male and female cold water swimmers (CWSs). Thirty four healthy subjects (18 men and 16 women) aged 50.0 ± 12.2 years were swimming in cold sea water during winter season at least twice a week. The average water temperature was 9.5°C in October, 1.0°C in January and 4.4°C at the end of April. Fasting blood samples were taken within the first weeks of October, January and April. Serum erythropoietin (EPO), complete blood count (CBC) including evaluation of: red blood cells (RBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and RBC indices), white blood cells (WBC count with WBC differential), platelets (PLT count), serum folate and serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) were determined. Between October and April an increase was observed in the following parameters: RBC (from 4.8 × 1012/L to 5.2 × 1012/L, P < 0.001), hemoglobin (from 8.6 mmol/L to 9.4 mmol/L, P < 0.001), MCH (from 1.8 fmol to 1.9 fmol, P = 0.003), MCHC (from 19.9 mmol/L to 20.6 mmol/L, P < 0.001), EPO (from 6.3 IU/L to 8.1 IU/L, P = 0.001). At the same time decreased concentrations of PLT (from 249.9 × 109/L to 221.6 × 109/L, P = 0.005), folate (from 10.5 ng/mL to 7.4 ng/mL, P < 0.001) and immunoglobulins (IgG: from 11.8 g/L to 10.9 g/L, P < 0.001; IgA: from 2.5 g/L to 2.2 g/L, P < 0.001; IgM: from 0.9 g/L to 0.8 g/L, P < 0.001). Statistically significant changes in EPO and PLT values were noted only in female CWSs. We conclude that regular cold water swimming induces adaptive changes in the resting blood elements and EPO concentrations which are more evident in female organism.},

abstract = {Introduction: Clinical evaluation of the Crohn’s anal fistulas (CF) closure is inadequate to some extent due to earlier closure of cutaneous openings compared to fistulous tracts. There is a need for a more accurate method of assessment.
Aim: To compare clinical signs of CF with radiological findings, before and after treatment, to follow complete closure.
Material and methods
It was a retrospective study of 23 patients suffering from CF admitted to a single specialist centre, who were treated with a combination of surgical and biological therapy. Fistula healing was evaluated with fistula drainage assessment classification (FDA), perianal disease activity index (PDAI), and van Assche magnetic resonance imaging score (MRI) before and 3 months after surgery and induction of the biological treatment.
Results: Clinical response occurred in 13 (57%) patients 3 months after induction treatment. Complete clinical response was achieved in 8 (35%) patients, whereas partial response occurred in 5 (22%) patients. Persistence of a fistula tract was visualised on MRI in 4 (50%) patients with clinical closure.
Conclusions: The healing process of CF should be monitored by MRI due to the discrepancy between premature closure of external openings and fistulous tracts. Prolonged biological therapy until complete healing of anal fistulas confirmed on MRI might improve the results of treatment.},

abstract = {Patients with Crohn disease-related anal fistulas are treated with debridement of fistulous tracts and the placement of noncutting setons (NCSs). However, to reduce the high recurrence rate, there is still a need to develop more effective treatment methods. Medical records of 47 patients with Crohn anal fistulas were retrospectively evaluated. They were divided into two groups (I, VAC; II, NCS), consisting of 24 and 23 patients, respectively. The fistulas in the former group were applied with VAC, whereas NCSs were placed in the latter group. Fistula healing was evaluated with the Fistula Drainage Assessment classification, Perianal Disease Activity Index, and the van Assche MRI-Based Score.
RESULTS: There was a significant difference (P = .006) between the groups; closure of all fistulas at 6 months after treatment was achieved in 18 patients (75%) from group 1, compared with 8 patients (35%) from group 2. Partial response occurred in five patients (21%) from group 1 and in five patients (22%) from group 2. Closure of fistulous tracts was visualized via MRI in nine patients (37.50%) from group 1, more than twice as many patients as from group 2.
CONCLUSIONS: Because preliminary results of the study showed a high rate of closure after application of VAC to Crohn anal fistulas, this method might be considered a novel sphincter-saving procedure.},
