The nursing students of WSEI University have once again gone into the field. Last week, they conducted the first of a series of ‘‘I do research to live’’ examinations for the inhabitants of the Opole Lubelskie commune. To begin with, they met with residents of the village of Elżbieta.
- The research is conducted in the direction of metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases - informs Mariusz Sutryk, M.Sc., supervisor of the Student Scientific Circle at the Monoprofile Medical Simulation Centre of WSEI University, deputy director of the MMSC.
The research includes:
- body composition analysis
- thyroid hormone testing
- examination of nevi
- ECG
- heart rate measurement
- Uric acid measurement
- cholesterol measurement
- pictometry
- blood glucose measurement
- blood saturation
- spirometry.
The tests are free of charge and can be used by people over the age of 60.
- Among the more than 50 people screened in the village of Elisabeth, several cardiac arrhythmias, high fasting glycaemia levels and high uric acid and cholesterol levels were demonstrated - adds Mariusz Sutryk, M.Sc.
A few days earlier, inaugurating a series of examinations in the municipality of Opole Lubelskie, Mariusz Sutryk gave a lecture in the cinema hall of the Opole Cultural Centre. Participants were able to hear about laboratory errors, errors in diagnosis and multi-drug use, i.e. taking too many drugs.
Such examinations in the field of metabolic diseases, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system are carried out regularly by the Nursing Students of our University under the supervision of Mariusz Sutryk providing free help to residents of the entire region and beyond.
During preventive examinations it is possible to detect diseases and direct such people to specialist treatment.
Last year alone, our students carried out a campaign of free examinations in Lublin, Dąbrowica, Świdnik, the municipality of Ułęż, the municipality of Baranów, the municipality of Niemce, Ostrow, the municipality of Bychawa, the municipality of Wysokie, the municipality of Urszulin, the KRUS, and also during a fair in Warsaw.
Together we care about your health!
