12th Conference \u2018ALLERGY, ASTHMA, COPD\u2019 took place in the Warszawianka Conference Center in Jachranka on 24-26\u00a0August 2017. The Conference was organized by\u00a0the Faculty and Clinic of Internal Medicine, Pneumology and Allergology of the Medical University of Warsaw under the patronage of HM Rector of the Medical University of Warsaw Prof.\u00a0Miros\u0142aw Wielgo\u015b, Ph.D., and the Polish Academy of Sciences Clinical Science Committee. The Opening Lecture titled \u2018The role of hearing in development of modern society. The nature of risk and leadership\u2019 was presented by\u00a0Prof.\u00a0Henryk Skar\u017cy\u0144ski. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Below we\u00a0quote excerpts from this lecture, introducing to\u00a0the Conference participants the success of Polish otolaryngology through the prism of achievements of the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, because although the complaints that the specialists in the Institute deal with are usually not obviously painful, they lead to\u00a0isolation, suffering, often depression and social exclusion and have a\u00a0tremendous impact in the contemporary society.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Hearing is the basis of communication which in turn is the basis of the modern society, allowing access and exchange of information. In the modern world we\u00a0have to\u00a0receive and quickly select lots of information, as it is impossible to\u00a0remember and process all of it. <\/em>\u2013 said Prof.\u00a0Skar\u017cy\u0144ski in his lecture. \u2013 A\u00a0modern man lives faster and it may appear to\u00a0him that he can think faster.<\/em> This is why the fluency of thinking is important. As we\u00a0are living faster we\u00a0expect fast exchange of information everywhere \u2013 at school, work, in the office. We\u00a0have less and less time, so exchange of information and our reaction are very important. We\u00a0participate in various events and it is hard to\u00a0imagine that we\u00a0would have no possibility to\u00a0listen to\u00a0the surrounding music, words and other sounds. We\u00a0remember these events and images and recall them. Our thinking resembles speaking in thoughts and hearing is the basis for developing speech.<\/em><\/p>\n

During the lecture Prof.\u00a0Skar\u017cy\u0144ski had presented also the numerical results of the hearing screening programs in school children conducted since more than a\u00a0dozen years by\u00a0the Institute. He also spoke about very important issue of hearing disorders in elderly people.<\/p>\n

Prof.\u00a0Henryk Skar\u017cy\u0144ski in his lecture has laid a\u00a0particular emphasis on the issues of leadership and risk. \u2013 Subsequent challenges that I\u00a0have placed in front of me and later my small team involved a\u00a0great risk. The first risk I\u00a0took in 1992, when I\u00a0had performed a\u00a0pioneering in Poland surgery of cochlear implantation in a\u00a0deaf person, only 20\u00a0years after the Americans. This surgery gave hope to\u00a0thousands of deaf patients in our country and was a\u00a0symbolic beginning of the Polish program of deafness treatment. The success of this surgery has brought about development of otology, otosurgery, the entire fields of medicine and science related to\u00a0hearing, its diagnostics and rehabilitation. We\u00a0gave the new meaning to\u00a0clinical engineers, who because therapists. Ten years later I\u00a0conducted the first in the world surgery of cochlear implantation in a\u00a0patient with partial deafness. I\u00a0had an idea of supplementing one kind of hearing with another one. It is easy to\u00a0say, isn\u2019t it? But I\u00a0had to\u00a0consider the reaction to\u00a0that event at the world\u2019s forum of science and medicine. I\u00a0had to\u00a0consider that the results may be different. That was the time that I\u00a0also took another risk \u2013 I\u00a0decided that this first in the world surgery will be conducted and shown in real time online. I\u00a0told to\u00a0myself that if I\u00a0try and fail, at least people in the world will know why I\u00a0failed. And if I\u00a0succeed, I\u00a0will be able to\u00a0say that the first in the world surgery of partial deafness treatment, in a\u00a0patient who could hear some sounds and a\u00a0part of his ear was inactive, I\u00a0had conducted witnessed by\u00a0many other people \u2013 <\/em>said Prof.\u00a0Skar\u017cy\u0144ski.<\/p>\n

Finalizing, Prof.\u00a0Skar\u017cy\u0144ski underlined that the risk of leadership in medicine is present and creates risks, but also great opportunities of development. It motivates to\u00a0action, which is the chance for success, which must be shared to\u00a0multiply!<\/p>\n

The Conference, organized regularly since 1980\u00a0has interdisciplinary character and is addressed to\u00a0the primary care and family physicians as well specialists: pulmonologists, allergologists, internists, pediatricians, laryngologists and dermatologists. Organizers invite the eminent experts to\u00a0speak about the present state of knowledge in allergy, asthma and COPD. A\u00a0number of randomized multicenter clinical studies aimed at assessment of effectiveness and safety of new drugs for obstructive diseases of pulmonary system had been finalized recently. Their results have allowed developing new recommendations and guidelines. New technologies have been introduced in diagnostics and therapy on pulmonary diseases. The Conference program included also workshops for hands-on training in the newest diagnostic methods and uses of the modern examination equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
