The cases of two sisters with extreme bilateral adrenal hypoplasia, verified at necropsy, have been presented. Two other siblings died in infancy with symptoms which make it very likely that they also had adrenal hypoplasia. A review of the medical literature revealed 23 cases in which necropsy had been performed. These included 15 males and 8 females as well as one set of twins and 3 siblings. Although the incidence of reported cases of adrenal hypoplasia is low, the authors suggest that many cases may have been missed in the past. The clinical picture and possible etiology of this condition have been discussed.

Marek's disease (MD), caused by a highly contagious and oncogenic herpesvirus, causes immunosuppression and tumors in chickens. Although several reports on the occurring lymphomas (MD-like conditions) in turkeys have been published, less attention has been paid to the disease in this species. Recently, Marek's disease virus (MDV) has been demonstrated in lymphomatous tumors in commercial turkeys in several countries. The present review aimed to describe the past and recent situation of MD in turkeys, including clinical picture and methods used for diagnosis. Additionally, three hypotheses that might explain the emergence of MDV in turkeys, including virus evolution and evolution of MDV variants, modern hybrid turkeys, and raising of turkeys close to chickens, were discussed. The pathogenesis of MDV infection in turkeys remains unclear, and further investigations are necessary. Although herpesvirus of turkey (HVT) vaccine didn't protect turkeys against challenge with a virulent MDV, Rispens strain is effective, highlighting the need for further assessment of the effectiveness of MDV vaccines in turkeys.

Objective: We report a patient who developed discontinuation symptoms following nefazodone cessation. Clinical picture: The patient experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, ataxia, insomnia, marked agitation, headache and flu-like symptoms. Treatment: She was reluctant to recommence nefazodone and was symptomati-cally treated with oxazepam. Outcome: The patient recovered completely in 10 days. Conclusions: Nefazodone discontinuation can result in withdrawal symptoms and therefore needs to be tapered gradually. Those who have experienced discontinuation symptoms with other antidepressants in the past may be at increased risk.

Radiation therapy is the main treatment for a large number of neoplastic diseases. Improved survival in this group of patients led to the emergence of a new nosological unit – radiation-induced damage to neighbouring organs and systems. Data accumulated in recent decades has proven conclusively that chest radiotherapy could result in heart damage. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in oncological patients in remission. The onset of radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) can be early with clinical picture of acute myocarditis and late with manifestations of constrictive pericarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, valvular involvement, heart failure and conduction pathology. Clinical symptoms may manifest years after exposure to radiation. Our team performed a mini-review on the topic, after which we shared our own experience in 10 patients who underwent radiation therapy in the past and were admitted to the Clinic of Cardiology of University Multyprofile Hospital for Active Treatment „Deva Mariya“ with a clinical picture of ACS.

X-rays, creating favorable conditions for optimal determination of air in the pleural cavity, greatly facilitated the diagnosis of spontaneous pneumothorax and enriched our experience in this matter. "Over the past few years, there has been a rich literature on spontaneous pneumothorax. Numerous cases of spontaneous pneumothorax with the most unexpected etiology and the most diverse clinical picture have been published, which gave an impetus to revise our previous attitudes on the issue of spontaneous pneumothorax and, first of all, its pathogenesis.

Have there been changes in the clinical picture of schizophrenic illness over the past hundred years? Or, to put the question more precisely, are the schizophrenic patients of the 1950s any different phenomenologically from their counterparts in the 1850s?Recent studies (4, 5, 9, 14, 20) have aimed at determining the presence or absence of an increased incidence of psychosis in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Opinion is evenly divided as to whether the social changes of the twentieth century have significantly altered the epidemiology of psychotic illness. In spite of an increasing preoccupation with social psychiatry (13), the psychiatric literature is silent on the vital question “Have the changes of the past hundred years altered the clinical picture of schizophrenic illness itself?”The present study, comparing a selected group of schizophrenics of both sexes from the 1850s and 1950s, begins the search for information on the change or lack of change in this important condition over the past hundred years.

The small book provides basic information about the anatomy of the breast, pathogenesis, clinical picture and therapy of postpartum mastitis. With twenty years of experience as well. underwent the development of 128 cases of mastitis that he had observed in the clinic over the past 2 years. Being a supporter of the theory of the lymphogenous origin of mastitis, a. quite in detail sets out various theories of the etiology and pathogenesis of postpartum mastitis, and also dwells in detail on the origin, treatment and prevention of nipple cracks. A. calls for great caution with feeding the baby with mastitis and cracked nipples, recommending giving it up if the mother has an infection.

I very much agree with Dr. Levin's observation that pinworms are the cause of a specific disorder affecting little girls. The symptom complex is characterized by the sudden onset of intense nocturnal discomfort, referred to the vulvar area by older children, and not infrequently associated with painful urination, frequency or urinary retention. During the past five years we have seen 6 patients who presented with this clinical picture. They were all girls, the youngest twentytwo months and the oldest eleven years.

In the past decades, there has been evidence on the relationship between Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). In addition, PD frequently develops in already existing ET. The occurrence of PD in ET seems to be a problem of relevance, since the risk of PD is higher in patients with ET than that in the population. However, due to the lack of awareness about this nosological phenomenon among physicians, it can be difficult to formulate a diagnosis of PD that has developed in ET.This paper gives an update on the clinical, epidemiological, pathogenetic, and neuroimaging characteristics of ET concurrent with PD.
