The paper reviews three cases treated for somatic diseases on the clinical wards for dialysis, haematology and gynaecology. Patients suffereing from somatic diseases often have psychological disturbances, too. As a connection between somatic and psychological, a relatively new branch of psychiatry developed - liaison psychiatry. Liaison psychiatrist, on the one hand, halps the patient to cope with the illness more easily, and on the other hand, helps the members of the healing team to understand better the patient's psychological needs. In the described cases, psychological disturbances occurred at the end of somatic treatment. The liaison psychiatrist's role was to enable the patients to adapt to the new situation, and not to lose their quality of life. The aim of this paper is pointing out the importance of liaison psychiatrist in the treatment of physically ill patients.

Aim: Both clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are conditions closely associated with advancing age. This study delves into the possible implications and prognostic significance of CHIP and T2DM in patients diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods: Deep-targeted sequencing employing a unique molecular identifier (UMI) for the analysis of 42 CHIP mutations-achieving an impressive mean depth of coverage at 1000 × -was conducted on a cohort of 1430 patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (473 patients with T2DM and 930 non-DM subjects).
