Introduction: The World Health Organization in March 2020 announced a pandemic of COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is one of the seven species known to be pathogenic to humans in this group of viruses. The incubation period of the virus is 2-14 days, usually about 5 days. SARS-CoV-2 uses the ACE2 receptor to enter the host's mucosa and cause an active infection. Symptomatic infection may be complicated by reversible or irreversible changes in the lungs and pulmonary embolism. Method: Recent literature was reviewed based on PubMEd, Google scholar, using words: covid lung, post covid lung, post covid, covid lung fibrosis, Objective: Systematisation of information on pulmonary postovid complications
One of the main reasons of deaths in the entire world is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Because of this, 17.9 million people died in 2019, which is 32% of deaths worldwide. Among these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke. More than 75% of deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Among the 17 million people under the age of 70 who died prematurely in 2019 due to non-contagious diseases, as many as 38% were caused by CVD. The most important risk factors for CVD include smoking, an unhealthy diet, obesity, inactivity, and alcohol consumption. These factors reflect the ongoing economic, social, and cultural changes. The development of this disease is also influenced by stress and genetic factors. Thanks to early diagnosis, it is possible to initiate treatment early and increase the patient's chance of survival.

Introduction: The pancreatic cancer arises from non-invasive precursor lesions and develops through the accumulation of characteristic gene mutations. The recent scientific reports based on genetic tests state that the approximate time between cancerous initiation and the development of cancer with metastasisis15 years. We candistinguish three main precancerous lesions leading to the pancreatic cancer: pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN), mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN), and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN). The imaging tests used for the diagnostics and observation of precancerous pancreas lesions are MR, MRC, CT and EUS. Method: review of the recent literature based on PubMEd, Google scholar research based onthe following key words: pancreatic cancer, precancer of the pancreas, pancreatic cyst, tuber of the pancreas, medical imaging of the pancreasPurpose of the work: systematizing information about precancers of the pancreatic cancer based on the latest research and findings
Background:Despite the elimination of smallpox, other orthopoxviruses, including cowpox virus, still infect humans. Wild rodents are its natural reservoir. Infections in humans are commonly reported from contact with sick domestic cats, rarely directly from rats. Cow pox in humans is a rare zoonotic disease, the diagnosis of which is problematic due to its rarity and thus the lack of clinical experience.Case report:Presented with a summary of the available clinical data on a 15-year-old boy who became infected with cowpox by a domestic cat.The patient developed cutaneous macular changes in the facial area. Within 3 weeks of the onset of symptoms, the lesions progressed through the papular, vesicular and pustular stages before forming a hard black eschars (2 cm in diameter) with erythema and edema and regional lifadenopathy. Differential diagnosis consisting of cat scratch disease, anthrax and brucellosis excluded microbiological examination. The lesions left scars after 8 weeks of continuous topical antiseptic treatment.Conclusions:The clinical course may be complicated, and the improvement takes 4 to 8 weeks. Infection which entered through the skin changes was the cause of antibiotic therapy. Cowpox should be suspected in patients with poorly healing skin lesions accompanied by a painful black eschars with erythema and local lymphadenopathy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
