Background: Preventing the spread of the influenza virus is one of the primary health policy challenges of many countries worldwide. One of the more effective ways to prevent infection is influenza vaccination, and the people who enjoy the most public confidence in preventive health care are health workers (HWs). For this reason, it is crucial to study the attitudes of HWs toward influenza vaccination. Methods: The survey was conducted among 950 medical (physicians and nurses) and administrative staff in three academic hospitals. Respondents to the survey were selected on a random-target basis to represent hospital employees in the study best. The survey was conducted using the PAPI method between August and September 2020. Results: Respondents considered hand washing (52.8%) and avoiding contact with sick people (49.3%) the most effective ways to prevent influenza infection. Three in ten respondents considered wearing a protective mask (30.1%) and getting vaccinated against influenza (29.9%) is fully effective in preventing influenza. Influenza vaccination as effective in preventing influenza virus infection was chosen more often by those who worked in a pediatric hospital. Nurses were twice less likely than physicians to declare that influenza vaccination prevents infection (42.4% for nurses vs. 84.0% for physicians). At the same time, 20.4% of nurses believed that eating garlic effectively prevented influenza infection, and 28.1% declared daily vitamin C helpful. Conclusions: The study pointed to significant educational gaps regarding the role and effectiveness of influenza vaccination in the process of influenza virus infection and indicated a firm belief in medical myths, especially in the nursing community, related to protection against influenza virus infection.

Metabolic-associated Fatty Liver Disease is one of the outstanding challenges in gastroenterology. The increasing incidence of the disease is undoubtedly connected with the ongoing obesity pandemic. The lack of specific symptoms in the early phases and the grave complications of the disease require an active approach to prompt diagnosis and treatment. Therapeutic lifestyle changes should be introduced in a great majority of patients; but, in many cases, the adherence is not satisfactory. There is a great need for an effective pharmacological therapy for Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease, especially before the onset of steatohepatitis. Currently, there are no specific recommendations on the selection of drugs to treat liver steatosis and prevent patients from progression toward more advanced stages (steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and cancer). Therefore, in this Review, we provide data on the clinical efficacy of therapeutic interventions that might improve the course of Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease. These include the drugs used in the treatment of obesity and hyperlipidemias, as well as affecting the gut microbiota and endocrine system, and other experimental approaches, including functional foods. Finally, we provide advice on the selection of drugs for patients with concomitant Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease.

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a plant from the Allioideae subfamily belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family, and it is cultivated as a one or two-year bulbous plant. It is one of the most extensively researched medicinal herbs, widely used both in medicine and cuisine as a food ingredient and spice. Allium sativum has been present in the human diet since ancient times due to its medicinal properties. Traditionally, it has been used for various purposes, both orally and topically. Pharmacologically, it has antihyperlipidemic, antihypertensive, antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, hepatoprotective, antiviral, immunomodulatory and hypoglycemic effects. These properties are associated with the high antioxidant activity of garlic and the presence of volatile sulfur compounds (alliin, allicin, diallyl disulfi de, ajoene, and many others), which are also responsible for the pungent taste of this vegetable. Garlic plays a signifi cant role in culture, especially in the context of culinary traditions. Nevertheless, as a result of various food processing methods, its therapeutic properties and antioxidant abilities undergo changes.
