Invasive Rhino-Orbito-Cerebral Mucormycosis in Pediatric Patient with Acute Leukemia.

Background: Invasive fungal infections are a life-threatening complication of cancer treatments, especially in hemato-oncological patients. Mucormycosis is the third leading cause of invasive fungal infections after Aspergillus and Candida infections. The first clinical symptoms are usually non-specific, which can lead to a late diagnosis and delayed therapy.

[Physiologic range of stabilometry values obtained in the upright posture using a computer].

The authors present physiological ranges of values of seven parameters of stabilometric examinations of the upright posture in man. In order to make the examination effective, the authors suggested and tested three situations which make it possible to characterize the activity of the visual, vestibular and proprioceptive feedback in the process of maintenance of the upright posture. For measuring the supporting forces during the upright posture the authors used a stabilometer with automatic compensation of the body weight.
