    Brachial artery injury
    (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Milik, Krzysztof; Pasternak, Grzegorz; Aebisher, David
    Introduction. Arterial damage associated with musculoskeletal injuries at room conditions is very common. Aim. It is worth remembering that examining a patient who has suffered an accident with a broken bone or traumatic joint dislocation may be accompanied by vascular damage. A dislocation or fracture often masks damage to the artery. Description of the case. In this paper, a 20-year-old patient being a passenger suffered upper right limb trauma in a car accident. Conclusion. The effects of vascular injuries appear only after a few hours after setting the fracture. It is not known then whether the artery was damaged at the same time with the fracture, whether the injury occurred during the adjustment, or whether the ischemia is finally the result of the pressure exerted by too tight plaster casts.

    Diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of tick-borne encephalitis – a two case reports
    (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Przetacznik, Dominika; Leksa, Natalia; Aebisher, David; Galiniak, Sabina; Bartosz, Seweryn; Leksa, Dawid; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
    Introduction. The paper presents epidemiology, routes of infection, forms of the disease, diagnostic and treatment methods, and prophylaxis of tick-borne encephalitis. Aim. In this paper, we present two descriptions of the cases of tick-borne encephalitis. Description of the cases. Case 1. A 60-year-old man with fever up to 39 degrees for 3 days, multi-site headache and other body aches, as well as an earstuck feeling. The day before hospitalization, there was a feeling of numbness on the right side of the face from eye level to the chin and speech distortion. Case 2. A 60-year-old patient with headaches and an increase in temperature to 39 degrees for 3 days, who, approximately, three weeks earlier was ticked by a tick in the lower parts of the back. Conclusion. It is also important for doctors to take a broader view and to make society aware of that Lyme disease is not associated only with Lyme disease. Further work is also needed towards effective treatments for Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE).

    Generation of retractive spine circuits in the process of vitamin B12 deficiency
    (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Mucha, Patrycja; Leksa, Natalia; Aebisher, David; Galiniak, Sabina; Bartosz, Seweryn; Leksa, Dawid; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
    Introduction. Subacute degeneration of the posterior and lateral spinal cord is a rare neurological complication of B12 avitaminosis. Aim. In this paper, we present the case of a 65-year-old man who, in the course of long-term vitamin B12 deficiency associated with atrophic gastritis, developed a severe set of neurological symptoms that are part of the retinal spinal cord degeneration with characteristic features in MR imaging of the cervical spine in the form of an inverted “V mark” ‘in axial images and typical localization in the spinal cord. Description of the case. After careful analysis of the syndrome and making an early diagnosis, parenteral vitamin B12 supplementation began, resulting in improved neurological status, laboratory parameters as well as regression of changes in magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion Significant symptoms of this syndrome are paresthesia in the distal parts of the limbs, ataxia, spastic paresis.

    Hyalinising clear cell carcinoma of salivary gland: a case report
    (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Osuchowski, Michał; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Kaznowska, Ewa; Aebisher, David
    Introduction. Clear cell carcinoma, not otherwise specified/hyalinising clear cell carcinoma of the salivary gland (HCCC) is a malignancy that arises in minor salivary glands. It rarely leads to distant metastases or cancer-related death but has the potential for recurrence and focal metastases. Aim. A case is reported. Description of the case. A 72 years old female patient has reported to the Clinic of Otolaryngology with a tongue lesion. The patient had no history of malignancy. The lymph node has been surgically removed for further examination. Cords and nests of clear cells and cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm in a hyalinized stroma were identified within the lymph node. After the diagnosis the patient has been transferred to another Oncology Hospital for further treatment. Conclusion. The diagnosis of clear cell carcinoma may be challenging because many of it‘s features frequently overlap with other salivary gland lesions.
