Chronic constipation may be linked to the gut's enteric nervous system

Researchers suggest that chronic constipation may be linked to dysfunction in the enteric nervous system — the gut's so-called "second brain" — rather than purely mechanical causes. The condition is notoriously difficult to treat with conventional methods. The findings highlight the complexity of gut-brain interactions in digestive health.

Emergency doctor: Polish healthcare reform won't fix ambulance service problems

Dr Grzegorz Faran, an emergency medicine physician, tells oko.press that the planned healthcare reform focuses on queue management and capping doctors' salaries rather than fixing systemic failures. He compares the ambulance service to "a drain where everything flows that isn't handled properly at other stages." The interview comes amid the scandal at Warsaw's Szpital Południowy hospital.

Slovakia blocks traffic just beyond Polish S1 — a trap for drivers heading south

After the opening of the S1 expressway and the Węgierska Górka bypass in late 2024, driving south through Europe was expected to become much easier. However, just a few kilometres beyond the Polish-Slovak border, drivers are running into serious traffic bottlenecks on the Slovak side, a problem now widely discussed in Poland. Slovakia has not built adequate infrastructure to handle the traffic generated by the new Polish road.

Should Poland pressure Slovakia to improve roads beyond the border?

Beach parking costs around 20 PLN in Sicily vs. up to 120 PLN in Poland

Beach parking in Sicily costs as little as around 20 PLN (roughly €5), compared to up to 120 PLN at popular Polish seaside spots. Sicily draws visitors with its beaches, historic monuments and sunny weather, but low prices add to its appeal. The stark price difference highlights the cost advantage of Italian island destinations over Polish coastal resorts.

Are high beach parking fees at Polish seaside resorts justified?

EU plans to ban under-13s from social media with phased access for teens

The EU is proposing to legally ban children under 13 from social media apps, giving enforceable weight to an age limit that currently exists in name only. Teenagers aged 13 to 17 would receive "phased and gradual access" under the plan. The proposal targets platforms that have long failed to enforce their own minimum age requirements.

Polish Financial Ombudsman calls for new rules banning sale of problem insurers' policies

Marcin Kawiński, deputy Polish Financial Ombudsman, is calling for new rules that would prohibit intermediaries from selling policies issued by insurers known to have systemic claims-handling failures. The proposal comes in the wake of the Gefion and DallBogg scandals, where customers bought cheap third-party liability policies but struggled to receive payouts. Kawiński argues that low premiums should not be the sole selection criterion for insurance.
