Renal cell carcinoma metastasis to the thyroid gland: a case report.

Background: In this article, we report a case of renal cell carcinoma metastasis to the thyroid gland. Occult lesions of the thyroid were treated with a thyroidectomy. The case history presented below describes the patient's pathway and subsequent results.

POINT-OF-CARE ULTRASOUND IN THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF NECROTIZING FASCIITIS.

Objective: The aim: To detect the ultrasonographic signs of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) suitable for its early diagnosis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Eigty two patients with soft tissue infection, including 14 with necrotizing faciitis, were examined by ultrasonography at the admission. Ultrasonografic features were compared to intraoperative findings by the same surgeon.

Complex program of diagnostics and treatment of polytraumatized patients with II-III degrees obesity.

Objective: The aim: Elaboration of the complex program of diagnostics and treatment of the polytraumatized overweight patients.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Clinical material was composed of 64 patients with the combined body trauma who suffered from II-III grade obesity.

Results: Results: Main principles of rendering the aid to the polytraumatized overweight patients included the pathophysiological and topographic features of the group.

Role of the family physician in the treatment of patients with polytrauma on the obesity background on an ambulatory stage.

Objective: Introduction: Obesity rates have continued to increase recently, what is connected to the reduction of physical activity of population. The aim: To determine the peculiarities of treatment of patients with obesity, who sustained a severe concomitant body trauma on an outpatient basis by family physicians.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Clinical material composed of 67 patients who sustained severe concomitant body trauma.

Stereomatic constants of the biliary tree in normal functional state and during experimental cholestasis.

It has been found from the study of cholangiograms and laboratory specimens of biliary systems of human beings and dog's that the decrease in average diameters of biliary ducts during their passage from the hepatic portals to the periphery, is in accordance with the equation D = e-kz+b (z--sequence no of the duct, D--diameter of the duct, k--rate of change in the diameter, b--logarithm of diameter when z = 0). It has been established that parameter (b) defines size of the liver, and parameter (k) does not depend upon hepatic dimensions and changes during pathological processes. The use of (k) is recommended as an aid in defining the general character of dynamics of the duration of a given pathology.

Level of sensitivity of pain in patients with obesity.

Our aim was to find out the presence of differences in pain sensitivity level depending on body weight. 206 healthy persons at the age of 18 to 84 were the objects of the research with the help of the special instrument which action was based on the principle of dosage pressure by a needle on the forearm skin and by registration of indecis pressure extents when the patients felt no pain, when they felt slight pain and when they felt violent pain. The patients with normal body weight didn't feel pain when the pressure of a needle was 28.
