Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mental illness is an increasing burden on societies around the world. Depression and anxiety disorders are undoubtedly civilization diseases, leading, akin to other mental disorders, to disability and suffering. Increasing the knowledge about the basis and pathophysiology of mental illness is a challenge for modern science. Research and new discoveries in this field will allow for the development of new therapeutic strategies. Dietary deficiencies, improper nutrition and obesity are another civilization problem—especially in poor environments. The evaluation of the relationship between nutrition, dietary supplementation and mental disorders is a promising field for research and new discoveries.

Numerous data indicate the presence of cognitive impairment in people who have undergone COVID-19, often called COVID Fog (CF). This phenomenon persists even 6 months after infection, and its etiology and pathogenesis are not fully known. The aim of this article was to analyze the relationship among cognitive functioning, clinical data and nutrition indexes in patients discharged from the COVID-19 hospital of the Military Institute of Medicine, Warsaw, Poland. The sample comprised 17 individuals—10 women and 7 men, with ages of 65 ± 14 years. Cognitive impairment was measured with the use of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The nutrition parameters included: hemoglobin, red blood cells, total cholesterol and its fractions, triglycerides, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, phosphates, calcium and sodium. The analysis showed that albumin concentration significantly correlated with the total MoCA score and especially with the short-term memory test score. Conversely, total cholesterol, and especially LDL concentrations, were highly and negatively associated with the MoCA score. In conclusion: markers of nutritional status are correlated with the severity of CF. Individuals with malnutrition or risk of malnutrition should be screened for CF. Further studies need to be performed in this area. Full article

Manganese encephalopathy is a known disorder in occupational medicine. A serious phenomenon has been the emergence of manganese encephalopathy in intravenous users of homemade methcathinone (ephedrone). A short survey was developed for clinical environments dealing with people who use psychoactive substances. The data were obtained from 72 rehabilitation therapy centers. Surveys carried out in about a third of Polish centers dealing with providing medical assistance to people addicted to substances other than alcohol and tobacco have shown that over 4% of people treated there had symptoms of manganese encephalopathy, of which more than half are people in whom the probability of a clinical diagnosis of this disorder is significant. It has been shown that knowledge of manganese encephalopathy is none or minimal in more than 70% of the surveyed institutions. An urgent need for personnel training in this field was pointed out. Attention was paid to the importance of disseminating good review articles on new and dynamically developing problem phenomena. Full article
