Reachable knowledge, which is a collection of socially negotiated constructs and narratives, imposes limits on possible ways of understanding the world around us. A dominant discourse becomes a boundary of cognition. The contemporary discourse on male sexual identity cements and limits it to a homosexual or heterosexual version. The socio-cultural...
Rozdział zawiera następujące sekcje:

The author reviews current examples of institutionalized homo-, bi-, and transphobia expressed by right-wing politicians and the Catholic Church in Poland. He uses the Gestalt theory of shame to understand the psychological consequences of this systemic oppression and analyzes internalized homo-, bi-, and transphobia; “the love focus” in activist n...
This chapter introduces the idea of relationality in supervision. Bąk explains the usefulness of the relational approach in psychotherapy with GSRD clients in a constantly changing world. Bąk also introduces the relational matrix model of supervision with practical examples from GSRD-affirmative supervision. An important aim of this chapter is to s...
This chapter explores socio-cultural and political situation of LGBT+ citizenry in Poland. Polish homo-, bi-, and transphobia are investigated through the lenses of the Fern’s nested model of trauma and attachment, relational Gestalt, minority stress, and attachment theories. Particularly, the state/society/culture is proposed to be the fully-fledg...

Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. We analyzed CPA1, encoding carboxypeptidase A1, in subjects with nonalcoholic chronic pancreatitis (cases) and controls in a German discovery set and three replication sets. Functionally impaired variants were present in 29/944 (3.1%) German cases and 5/3,938 (0.1%) controls (odds ra...
The sequestration of crucial cellular proteins into insoluble aggregates formed by the polypeptides containing expanded polyglutamine tracts has been proposed to be the key mechanism responsible for the abnormal cell functioning in the so-called polyglutamine diseases. To evaluate to what extent the ability of polyglutamine sequences to recruit oth...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases among Caucasians caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene. However, the clinical outcome of CF pulmonary disease varies remarkably even in patients with the same CFTR genotype. This has led to a search for genetic modifiers located outside the CFTR gene. The aim of this study...
Despite of being perceived as 'woman's diseases', eating disorders were described among boys and adult men. This article presents epidemiological data on anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder in men. The clinical presentation of eating disorders in men was described and compared with similar data from the female population. Mo...
Protein aggregation is a hallmark of a growing group of pathologies known as conformational diseases. Although many native or mutated proteins are able to form aggregates, the exact amino acid sequences involved in the process of aggregation are known only in a few cases. Hence, there is a need for different model systems to expand our knowledge in...
Defects of PRSS1, SPINK1, CFTR and AAT are considered causative or predisposing to pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of these defects into molecular pathology of chronic pancreatitis (CP) and acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP).
Ninety-two children with CP or ARP, 55 family members and 50 controls were investigated. The...
To investigate the frequency and potential impact of mutations and polymorphisms in the CFTR gene and deletions in AZF locus of the Y chromosome in patients with azoospermia (AZOO), cryptozoospermia (CRYPTO) or oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) who were to be included in an assisted reproductive technologies (ART) program.
A total of 188 infertile...
The so-called conformational diseases constitute a specific subtype of protein folding diseases that is characterized by abnormal aggregation of improperly folded polypeptides. This review describes a series of examples of such disorders and summarizes the present knowledge on their molecular pathophysiology and new therapeutic strategies.
Pancreatitis presents clinically as acute and chronic form. A common characteristic of these two forms is enzymatic autodigestion of pancreas in the course of the disease. It results from premature activation of pancreatic digestive enzymes and disturbance of subtle balance between proteolytic enzymes and their inhibitors. The way to understand the...
