Diabetic foot complicated by ulcer infection is one of the most common problems associated with diabetes. The clinical symptoms accompanying the infection are mostly poor, leading to a delay in correct diagnosis. As a result, unfortunately, there are still often in patients to amputation of a limb. The clinical case presented here, a 73-year-old patient with multiple concomitant diseases, is an example of how, through appropriate treatment of an infection first assessed as an indication for amputation, this could have been avoided. The use of appropriate antibiotic therapy based on clinical assessment of the wound, swab results, and the patient's general condition, along with systematic wound debridement, formed the basis for therapeutic success. A number of diagnostic tests, such as imaging of the foot (X-ray), vascular status (pulse evaluation, ultrasound Doppler), laboratory (including deep wound cultures, inflammatory indicators). Since this problem affects many medical fields, it is important to cooperate between specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Anemia is a very common disease. The most common symptoms, such as weakness, headaches, dizziness, impaired concentration and pallor, are nonspecific. The most common causes of anemia in pregnant women are deficiencies of iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. Anemia can be a complication of other diseases such as kidney failure or hyperparathyroidism.

Adherent placenta (placenta accreta) is the result of pathological implantation of the trophoblast deep into the temporum. This condition is rare in obstetrics, but no less dangerous to the health and life of the parturient. Risk factors for innate placenta are: previous uterine surgery, placenta previa, maternal age over 35, endometrial damage, submucosal myomas. The pathogenesis is unknown, and the diagnostic and treatment management remains an important clinical problem.

Investigation of disputed paternity using molecular techniques is now increasingly used by the justice system. Unfortunately, it is common to find that some laboratories use poor practices - the most common being the omission of testing the mother's genetic profile.

We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who was brought to the Neurology Clinic of the Medical University with symptoms of narcolepsy. The final diagnosis was made on the basis of cytological examination of the cerebrospinal fluid based on immunohistochemistry. After a 3-month stay in the clinic, the patient died. The previously made cytological diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy and histopathological examination.

Hamartoma -- a very rare lesion that is a splintering of mature cells of the organogenesis period, abnormally juxtaposed, and in this case displaced within the vulva.

Uterine myomas (myomata uteri) are benign tumors, the most common. They account for about 15% of all tumors of a woman's reproductive organs. Histologically, they are tumors composed of connective tissue elements and smooth muscle fibers (fibromata, myomata, fibromyomata). The present case is special because of the rare type of giant myoma of the uterus.
