“…The authors of the present work are developing the PVD technique for use in the production of electrically conductive elements applied in textronics [26]. Textronic elements employ electrically conductive films produced on textile substrates for use in wearable electronics and small portable devices [27][28][29]. High demands are placed on such elements, not only in terms of mechanical resistance but also and more importantly in terms of electrical conductivity.…”

Wearable electronics are produced by depositing thin electroconductive layers with low resistance on flexible substrates. In the process of producing such metallic films, as well as during their usage, structural defects may appear which affect their electrical properties. In this paper, we present analytical and numerical models for understanding phenomena related to the electrical conductivity of thin electroconductive layers. The algorithm in the numerical model is based on the boundary integral equation method. The formulas enable calculation of the potential distribution and electric field strength of the analyzed structures, and describe the impact of cracks on their electrical resistance. The validity of the proposed models was verified by experimental results.

“…The stimulation glove is one of the examples of textronics -new field of knowledge in which there is the combination between electronics, textiles, computer science and measurement [13]. Using this type of therapeutic tools, attention should be paid to the temperature of the electrodes so that local skin burns do not occur [14][15][16].…”

Some historical and contemporary aspects of the usage of electricity in medicine were presented in the paper. The using amber and electric fish in antiquity and medieval ages was described. The contemporary use of electricity in medicine is connected with the discovery Volta's battery and was shown from the first attempt in 19 th century till today's medical practice. The last part of the paper was devoted to the lately discovered electric stimulation of fingerprints. Two clinical cases were shown as the examples of this stimulation. Streszczenie. W artykule przedstawione zostały historyczne i współczesne aspekty stosowania elektryczności w medycynie, Przedstawiono historię wykorzystania bursztynu i ryb elektrycznych od starożytności do wieków średnich. Współczesne wykorzystanie elektryczności w medycynie wywodzi się od odkrycia baterii przez Voltę-pokazane zostały przykłady elektrostymulacj: od XIX wieku do dzisiejszej praktyki medycznej. Ostatnia część artykułu poświęcona jest metodzie stymulacji poprzez opuszki palców. Przestawione zostały dwa przypadki medyczne z zastosowaniem tej metody.

Premature birth is considered to be a substantial problem in perinatal medicine, which in the vast majority of cases (>60%), concerns African and South Asian countries. Nevertheless, prematurity is a global problem and is faced by both less-developed (where 12% of babies are prematurely born) and well-developed countries (with 9% prematurity rate) [1, 2]. The percentage of children born prematurely, i.e., before the 37th week of pregnancy, was 8.7% in Europe, while, in Poland, it was 7.34% [3]. Care of prematurely born babies is a huge challenge for parents and medical staff in the neonatal intensive care unit. Preterm infants, because of their low weight and gestational age, are prone to health problems and even death. For this reason, continuous monitoring of health parameters plays an important role. It is achieved by the use of various sensors that are inserted in infants’ garments. Sensor systems monitor an infant’s health condition, and then the data are transmitted to doctors or parents. This article is for illustrative purposes, aimed at presenting solutions such as the use of sensors for monitoring infants’ physiological parameters.
