Abnormal peritoneal folds near the liver are very rare. This case report presents an observation of an abnormal fold of peritoneum that extended from the upper right part of the greater omentum and stomach to the fossa for gallbladder. This fold merged with the lesser omentum on the left and extended to the right kidne…

Cystic dilatation is a rare disease of extra- or intra-hepatic bile ducts. According to the literature it is an disorder accompanying other diseases rather than an independent diagnosis. In the case of smaller dimensions it is often found by coincidence because of its asymptomatic course of development. Mostly it manif…

The tumor formation may be the earliest manifestation preceeding other symptoms, signs and bone marrow evidence of systemic malignancy - leukemia/lymphoma. Here we present three cases of systemic malignancy in which bone lesions were the first manifested signs of the disease. All three cases were thought to be orthoped…

We present the case of a 75-year-old man who was diagnosed with Degos disease (DD) in the context of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The cutaneous lesions of DD were located at the trunk as well as in the proximal parts of the arms. He presented with positive laboratory test for lupic anticoagulant, but other rheumatologic p…

A 73-year old man presented with the tinnitus in the left ear for 11 months. Computer tomography (CT) showed an enlarged dolichoectasia of the left vertebral artery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain shows dolichoectasia of the left vertebral artery and the initial part of the basilar artery. Multi-slices c…

The myocardial performance index (MPI) is a simple quantitative, non-geometric index of ventricular function and is readily applicable for evaluation of the right and left ventricle function. The aim of the study was to assess normal MPI values in healthy children. We studied 38 healthy children from 3 to 18 years of a…

Authors present a case of a 78-year-old female patient with invasive ductal adenocarcinoma in the pacemaker, s pocket. A decubitus-like tumor had developed in this place, and has been missinterpretated as a benign lesion for 5 months. Diagnosis was done with a time delay. An excisional biopsy revealed annvasive ductal…

The imperative to re-analyze existing public sequencing data is central to modern biology, driven by new hypotheses and advanced analytical methods. However, this effort is critically hampered by the profound heterogeneity of repository data, particularly the non-standardized, free-text descriptions of biological exper…

In this paper, by taking full consideration of distributed delay, demographics and contact heterogeneity of the individuals, we present a detailed analytical study of the Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) epidemic model on complex population networks. The basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] of the model is d…

In this study, authors present a case report of a 10 months old patient with burn injuries involving 20.5 % body surface area, grades 2a and 2b. According to the continuous monitoring of hemodynamic parameters by PiCCO (Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany), fluid therapy was successfully managed. Despite of an inc…

It is shown that for any full column rank matrix X 0 with more rows than columns there is a neighborhood [Formula: see text] of X 0 and a continuous function f on [Formula: see text] such that f(X) is an orthogonal complement of X for all X in [Formula: see text]. This is used to derive a distribution free goodness of…

To investigate the role of potent MAO-B inhibitor deprenyl in fertilized females, we have evaluated the effect of chronic treatment with deprenyl at a low dosage on preimplantation embryo development in Wistar rats. We have found that the number of isolated embryos per rat did not differ between experimental and contro…

The Clinician's Workstation (CWS) has provided the full-functionality of an on-line electronic patient record for outpatient pediatric clinics over the past 3 years. The implementation of the CWS built upon a substantial effort in integration of data from various sources. This paper addresses the subsequent design issu…

This article presents a novel wideband (WB) tilted-beam end-fire planar antenna for microwave and millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications. The antenna comprises of a microstrip fed double semi-circular rings over a curvilinear slotted ground plane. It is impedance matched over a broad frequency range from 11.5 to 62.5&#x…

Disorders of haemostasis and haemocoagulation are often seen in patients with cancer as a part of paraneoplastic syndrome. Thrombotic and/or haemorrhagic complications are the second most common cause of mortality in patients with cancer. The evaluation of the haemostatic parameters of 67 patients with gastric cancer h…

A thorough understanding of the longitudinal phase space (LPS) of the electron beam is of great advantage to any modern linear accelerator (linac), and of critical importance for operating a free electron laser (FEL). While a transverse deflecting structure (TDS) allows full characterization of a beam's LPS, measuremen…

An unusual case of early nephrotic syndrome without hypertension which slightly resolved after delivery is documented. Renal biopsy was performed postpartum and the diagnosis was focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis with moderate chronic renal changes. It is questioned whether the case was due to preeclampsia or was…

The concept of emergency medical transport originated from the need to move wounded soldiers from the battlefield to aid stations and other medical facilities (Ref. 11). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the presented study was to analyse the types and quantity of inquiries received at Drug Information Centre in Bratislava during the period from May 1997 to May 2006. The study analyses also the profile of the users of the latter centre with focus on the perception of drug risk, adverse drug reacti…

Biomarker-guided oncology trials frequently prioritize surrogate endpoints to enable efficient development in molecularly defined populations, often before mature overall survival (OS) data are available. We conducted a PRISMA 2020-guided systematic review of prospective interventional biomarker-guided oncology trials…
