Myxomas of the heart are the most common primary heart tumors. The incidence of this condition is estimated at 5/million/year. The recommended treatment is to resect the tumor as soon as possible, along with a margin of healthy tissue. Myxomas can recur if all tumor cells are not removed during surgery.

Glomerulopa􀆟e that occur in the transplanted kidney are the cause of recurrent nephrotic syndrome and are a serious clinical problem, as they can lead to the loss of the transplant.

During a urinary tract infection (UTI), bacteria are found in physiologically sterile sections of the urinary tract.

The authors present the case of a patient in whom, five years after implantation of a mechanical valve prosthesis into the mitral position, most likely as a result of improper anticoagulant therapy performed during the dental procedure resulted in thrombosis of the artificial valve.

Patients with chronic renal failure, after kidney transplantation, have an increased risk of developing of tuberculosis. The clinical and radiological picture of tuberculosis in immunosuppressed patients is uncharacteristic, often suggestive of another disease process. The increased risk of generalization of the disease and the significant proportion of deaths in this group of patients prompts a thorough diagnosis of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Devic's disease (neuromyelitis optica, NMO) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system primarily damaging the spinal cord and optic nerves. Formerly considered a variant of multiple sclerosis multiple sclerosis, NMO is now classified as a separate disease entity with a specific pathogenesis related to associated with reactivity against aquaporin 4.

Arachnoid calcifications coexisting with epidurally located spinal canal lipoma, are a rare cause of spinal cord compression, especially in children.

Infections in post-transplant patients are an important clinical problem, as the immunosuppressed state induced in recipients predisposes them to the development of opportunistic infections.

Acute non-inflammatory renal failure (ONNN) can follow hypovolemic shock hemorrhagic. Renal replacement therapy techniques, such as continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF), are key elements of therapy, leading to improvement in the patient's condition and restoration of the pre-event physiology.

Cataract is the most common pathological condition of the lens of the eye, consisting of its partial or complete opacity. This pathology can occur spontaneously or on the background of other diseases. Diabetic cataracts rarely affect children, and already to the exceptional rarity are descriptions of cases of appearance of cataracts in children in the first year of the disease. These changes usually regress with the improvement of diabetes compensation.

Surgery is an indispensable part of the combined treatment of people with adenocarcinoma of the rectum. Depending on the location, it takes the form of anterior resection (AR) or amputation (ASAR, resp. APR): the latter type of procedure, performed in patients with low-lying lesions, involves with mutilation in the form of the emergence of a permanent fecal fistula. The decision on the choice of surgery is based on an analysis of studies determining, among other things, the local condition.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare birth defect with a high mortality rate, resulting from pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. In order to optimize treatment outcomes prenatal diagnosis is important, providing the opportunity to choose further management.
