Angiosarcoma is a soft tissue tumour with a dismal prognosis. We present a 74 year old male presenting with a non healing ulcer on the scalp. On histopathology a diagnosis of angiosarcoma was made. An early diagnosis and tumour size play a pivotal role in the survival of the patient., Deepal J Deshpande, Chitra S Nayak, Sunil N Mishra, and Literatura 6
Práce prezentuje prenatální diagnostiku, možnosti terapie a následnou péči u plodů a novorozenců s kongenitálním chylothoraxem na podkladě zhodnocení 14 případů na naší klinice v letech 1993 až 2012. Povšechný hydrops plodu byl popsán ve 4 případech (29 %), v 10 případech (71 %) byla provedena odlehčovací amniodrenáž a ve 3 případech (21 %) prenatální odlehčovací punkce hrudníku. Spontánně bylo porozeno 11 plodů (78 %), hrudní drenáž byla nezbytná v průměru 9 dnů po porodu. Mortalita dosáhla v souboru 29 % (4 případy). V článku popisujeme vyšetřovací algoritmy, terapeutické prenatální i postnatální postupy a je zdůrazněna nutnost mezioborové spolupráce., The work presents prenatal diagnosis, treatment and care options in fetuses and neonates with congenital chylothorax based on a detailed evaluation of 14 cases recorded in our department between years 1993 and 2012. Generalized fetal hydrops was described in 29% of cases, therapeutic amnio drainage performed in 71% and prenatal thoracentesis in 21% of cases. 78% of fetuses were delivered spontaneously; thoracic drainage was necessary nine days after birth in average. Mortality reached 29%. The following text describes diagnostic algorithms, prenatal and postnatal therapeutic options with emphasis on the need for interdisciplinary cooperation., Alena Malkovská, Zdeněk Žižka, Andrea Pašková, Václav Sebroň, Pavel Calda, and Literatura
An eight-month-old male child was admitted with weakness and swelling in the feet. Paraparesis and bilateral lower extremity edema were present in the neurological examination. Thoracic MRI showed an intradural intramedullary mass 61 × 11 mm in size in the T5–T10 levels. Laminotomy between the T5–T10 vertebrae was performed. A mass with smooth borders was separated from most of the neural tissue. In the postoperative MRI, we observed a contrast enhancing area, considered a residual fragment, only 5 × 4 mm in size. Histopathological properties were compatible with the intermixed subtype of ganglioneuroblastoma. Only a limited number of thoracic cord Ganglioneuroblastoma reports have been previously published. Although very rare in children and young adults, ganglioneuroblastoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of thoracic cord tumors. It is difficult to obtain a preoperative diagnosis with clinical features and radiological investigations. Diagnosis depends on histopathological examinations. Curative treatment should be in the form of a complete resection of the tumor. In partially resected cases, adjuvant radiotherapy may become necessary, along with close follow-up., Bekir Akgun, Deniz Ates, Metin Kaplan, and Literatura 5
We report the case of a 52year old man with severe acute pancreatitis. In this case report we discuss the undesirable effects of parenteral nutrition and the importance of nutritional support at patients with severe necrotizing pancreatitis. Severe acute pancreatitis is usually accompanied by systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which results in hypermetabolism with prominent protein catabolism. Providing nutrition to these patients is of paramount importance. An adequate nutritional support is crucial in patients with severe and complicated pancreatitis. A negative energy balance has a negative impact on the nutritional status and the disease progression., Shpata Vjollca, Kuneshka Loreta, Kurti Floreta, Ohri Ilir, and Literatura
Surgical treatment of inflammatory diseases of intestine remains actual problem, despite the progress of conservative therapy. In our research it was etablished, applying low and ultralow ileorectal anastomosis with circular stapling apparatus allows to reach reliability of the generated anastomoses, it is essential reduce operation time, reduce number of postoperative complications and reduce duration of patients stay in hospital., Navruzov B.

V souvislosti s ochranou lidských práv zaručených Úmluvou o ochraně lidských práv a základních svobod se v poslední době čím dál častěji diskutuje otázka, zda přístup k asistované reprodukci také spadá pod rámec ochrany poskytovaný Úmluvou. Příspěvek přináší přehled rozhodnutí Evropského soudu pro lidská práva, která se problematikou asistované reprodukce zabývaly. Na pozadí těchto rozhodnutí se příspěvek snaží analyzovat hranice rozšiřujícího pojetí práva na respektování rodinného a soukromého života podle čl. 8 Úmluvy a poukázat na skutečnost, že v oblasti řešení složitých biomedicínckých a bioetických otázek nemá Soud dostatečnou autoritu na to, aby se stal finálním arbitrem při posuzování hodnotových měřítek společnosti v jednotlivých evropských státech., In the last few decades decided European Court of Human Rights very problematic cases involving “right to access to assisted reproduction”. These cases are concerning very controversial ethical aspects of biomedical developments in the field of medical techniques of artificial procreation and reshape the content (meaning) of Article 8 of European Convention of Human Rights. This paper provides short overview of cases of European Court of Human Rights involving “right to access to assisted reproduction” and focuses especially on the latest developments in this field (case S.H. and Others v. Austria - Application no 57813/00) . Although the technology of medically assisted procreation had been available in Europe for several decades, many of the issues to which it gave rise, remained the subject of debate. There is no consensus towards the use of IVF treatment in general and even less clear are trends in some particular questions (f.e. allowing gamete donation). These unsolved problems give to raise serious doubts about the possibility of the Court provide “final decisions” in these matters., Tomáš Doležal, and Literatura 10
V praxi se objevuje stále více matek, které si stěžují na to, že jejich předškolní děti odmítají jíst pevnou stravu, případně i pít. Jde snad o posun poruchy příjmu potravy do mladších ročníků? Nebo se jedná o důsledek chybné, ale stále rozšířenější liberální výchovy, která místo pevného vedení uctívá dítě jako dospělou osobnost od samého narození?, In practice there are more and more mothers who complain that their preschool children refuse to eat solid food or even to drink. Could it be a shift in eating disorders towards the youngsters? Or is it the result of wrong but still more and more widespread liberal education which worships the child as a adult personality from the very birth instead of firm leadership?, and Pöslová B.
