[Chest computed tomography in the localisation of pathologic processes in lymphomas].

Introduction: The anatomic localisation of Hodgkin disease and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is very important in the disease prognosis and therapy treatment. Intrathoracic localisation in Hodgkin disease is very frequent and usually occurs in the form of lymph node enlargement. The most frequent manifestation of the thoracic Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is mediastinal and hilarlympha-denomegalia.

[The role of holotranscobalamin in examination of vitamin B12 status].

Introduction: Holotranscobalamin contains biologically available cobalamin because only holotranscobalamin promotes the uptake of the cobalamin therein by all cells, via specific receptors. Therefore holotranscobalamin has been proposed as a potentially useful alternative indicator of vitamin B12 status. The aim of the present study was to assess usefulness of holotranscobalamin in the evaluation of vitamin B12 status.

[Von Meyenburg complex associated with adult polycystic liver disease].

Introduction: The von Meyenburg complex (bile duct hamartoma) is a rare developmental disorder, manifested by multiple bile ducts. The polycystic liver disease is a rare congenital anomaly which may remain undiscovered until adult life, occurring more frequently in women. It is mostly asymptomatic, but sometimes surgical intervention is necessary.
