Abdominal surgery on patients with significant body malformation is often a challenge for an operative team. Particularly, when patient presents lesions suspected for malignancy but benign disease cannot be excluded. In the reported case the patient suffered from cerebral palsy and had extreme spinal distortion with significant displacement of inte...
At this year’s ESC congress in London, it was announced an update of the guidelines for the treatment of chronic heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Key change compared to last guidelines is withdrawal the long-term titration strategy and introducing a simpler and faster regimen based on four groups of drugs: blocking the...
Therapy with angiogenesis inhibitors is undoubtedly an advancement in cancer treatment; however, it is associated with a risk of developing cardiotoxicity, which most often manifests in myocardial contractile dysfunction or an increased risk of thromboembolic events. Heart failure is observed in 2–4% of patients treated with bevacizumab and in 3–8%...
A 63-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital for an in-depth diagnosis of accidentally found pancreatic cystic lesion. The lesion was detected by computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and identified as potentially malignant mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN). Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirat...
The case describes an 86-year-old man with thrombosis of the deep dorsal vein and corpora cavernosa of the penis who developed symptoms 4 months before hospitalisation. An accurate imaging diagnostics supplemented with a biopsy of the corpus cavernosum confirmed the initial diagnosis. Moreover, an adenocarcinoma of the hepatic flexion of the colon...
Gastrointestinal malignancies, colorectal cancer in particular, come second in terms of incidence and mortality among all male and female neoplasms. Early detection guarantees good treatment outcomes. Endoscopy (colonoscopy) with biopsy and imaging (abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography), as well as biochemical markers should be included in...
Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most common cancers in the world both in terms of prevalence and mortality. Prospective epidemiological studies have clearly demonstrated that a diet rich in saturated fats and its related lipid metabolism disorders increase the risk of this disease. Chemoprevention is the use of drugs and natural compounds to pre...
Women with breast cancer are affected by deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism 3 times more often than the group of healthy women in the same age. Thrombosis can be the first manifestation of a malignant disease, but it can also result from hormonal therapy with aromatase inhibitors or tamoxifen which is used in cancer treatment. The nec...
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a strong and independent risk factor for adverse outcome in the population of patients on long-term dialysis.
Published results of observational studies indicate that the problem of PH refers mostly to patients on long-term hemodialysis and is less common in perit...
Background
Current guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension (AH) emphasize the importance of diagnosing subclinical organ damage, which determines cardiovascular prognosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), LV geometry patterns, and LV systolic/diastolic dysfunction among men wi...
Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) minimizes perioperative trauma and allows surgical procedures without a visible scar. Here we present a case in which the transabdominal pre-peritoneal method was used in inguinal hernioplasty using a SILS port. The presented case is part of a new trend in surgery to minimize operative trauma. In 2009, wh...
In spite of medical science development and initiation of new technologies in minimally invasive surgery, treatment of advanced chronic venous insufficiency at the 5(th) and 6(th) degree of CEAP classification is still a great clinical challenge. In case of no satisfactory results of non-surgical treatment of recurrent venous ulcers, scientists sea...
Papillary fibroelastomas are rare, primary, benign cardiac tumors most frequently located in the heart valves. They are a potential cause of systemic embolization and may be associated with myocardial ischaemia, transient ischaemic attacks, strokes, or sudden death. We describe the case of 75-year-old woman with diagnosed aortic insufficiency who w...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of death and disability in Poland. There are many risk factors of CVD which are modifiable due to preventive strategies. Knowledge about these factors among population at risk of CVD is the most important condition for success of them.
To evaluate the knowledge of CVD risk factors among soldiers of...
Current guidelines of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) for the management of arterial hypertension (AH) have recognized the importance of subclinical organ damages such as renal function impairment and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on cardiovascular prognosis in patients with this conditio...
Recent guidelines of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) for the management of arterial hypertension (AH) have recognized the importance of renal function impairment on cardiovascular (CV) prognosis in patients with this condition. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased risk of...
Actual European guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension (AH) have recognized the importance of renal function impairment on long-term prognosis in patients with this condition. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular ev...
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) is a unique form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy first described in Japan in 1976. The typical features of ApHCM consist of 'giant' negative T waves in the ECG and a 'spade-like' configuration of the left ventricular cavity detected by imaging techniques. We describe a case of an 84-year-old female in whom...
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare condition with very serious prognosis. Predisposing factors for SEA include bacterial infections, immunocompromised states such as diabetes mellitus, intravenous drug abuse, alcoholism, AIDS, as well as spinal surgery and modern techniques of epidural anesthesia. The most common causative agent for SEA is Sta...
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare, multisystem, autoimmune disorder characterized by recurrent inflammation and destruction of the cartilage tissue of the external ear, nose, larynx, trachea, major bronchi and peripheral joints. RP can also involve other proteoglycan-rich structures, such as the eye, heart, blood vessels, inner ear and kidney...
Atheroclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in developed countries. A number of new risk factors for atherosclerosis have been proposed to help identify high-risk individuals. Numerous of epidemiologic studies suggest that amino acid homocysteine may be a modifiable risk factor for this process. In experimenta...

The aim of this study was to measure the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and examine their relationship with traditional risk factors of the coronary heart disease. Methods and participants. We examined a group of 150 males aged between 18 and 24. Each participant underwent physical examination and gave his previous medical history...
It has been suggested that individuals with low birth weight have higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Aim of the study was to determine serum lipids and glucose concentrations in newborns with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Results were compared with the same parameters in regular birth weight (RBW) children. We analysed relations of b...
