Introduction and purpose: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer during pregnancy. Women can treat it, but pregnancy has a significant impact on the types and duration of using treatment. Purpose is to present the opinions of women about pregnancy complicated by breast cancer. Material and methods: 206 women participated in the study. We used a survey on the Internet. The average age of the respondents was 31.2. To establish whether an observed frequency distribution differs from a theoretical distribution the chi2 test of goodness-of-fit was used, to estimate relation we use the chi2 test of independence. Results: There were statistically significant differences between the number of women who believe that breast cancer is benign vs. malignant. Most often indicated as a safe method of diagnosis in pregnant women were: biopsy, mammography with lead shield, ultrasound, there was also a relationship between the place of residence and the choice of biopsy and ultrasound. A significant difference was noted between the number of women declaring an attitude forward delay vs starting treatment in pregnancy. There was a significant relationship between the pregnancy experience and the declared decision on the time of beginning of the therapy. Conclusions: The results suggest that women are aware of the malignancy of breast cancer. Many of them incorrectly differentiate the effects of this cancer in pregnant women and not pregnant. Biopsy, mammography with lead shield, ultrasound are perceived as the safest methods of diagnosis. Significantly more respondents claim that they would postpone the therapy until the end of pregnancy. Women who have never been pregnant more often declare that they would decide to postpone treatment. Key words: breast cancer; pregnancy; attitude; knowledge.

Subdural hematoma (SDH) could be an acute state required rapid neurosurgical decompression , could also represent chronic form ; both develope after head trauma as well. Long term influence on a quality of life depend on many factors. Reaserchers put a lot of effort to find those wchich play most predictive role.

The global prevalence of diabetes is on the rise. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in 2030. People with untreated or inadequately controlled diabetes are at greater risk of developing complications from SARS-CoV-2 infection in the COVID-19 pandemic. Adapting to therapy for diabetes is a complex process. Numerous studies show the importance of many indirect, non-clinical factors in the treatment of patients with diabetes. It is necessary to develop methods that facilitate the selection of patients at risk of non-adherence to the disease due to psychological, organizational and/ or socio-demographic factors, including in the medical tele-counseling system currently intensively developing in diabetology.
