“…Also, the transfer of excessive gas to the systemic circulation via the left gastric vein and then the odd vein cannot be excluded, as described by Lun and Shum. 15 In our case, it is definitely more difficult to explain the mechanism of gas displacement to the left heart, coronary vessels, aorta and its branches. In the presence of gas in the right heart, simple embolism most often occurs i.e., gas from the right cavities of the heart enters the pulmonary vessels.…”

Introduction: No studies on paternal postnatal depression (PPND) have been performed in Poland. Aim: The aim of the study was to estimate the symptoms of depression in women and men and identify the determinants of mental health of fathers after the birth of their child. Material and methods: Parents (142) participated in the study during the period 1 to 12 months after the birth. Results and discussion: The analyses reveal that 13% of fathers and 18% of mothers after the birth of their child had Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) scores of 10 or higher, which indicates possible depression. At score 12 and more, the proportion detected by EPDS decreased to 7% of fathers and 13% of mothers, which is an indicator of major depressive disorder. At EPDS score 12 and more, a probable depressive disorder was indicated in 10% of fathers in the period of 1–3 months, 7% of fathers at 4–7 months and 4% of fathers at 8–12 months. The symptoms of maternal depression at a score of 12 and more were detected in 16% of women at 1–3 months, 12% at 4–7 months 11% at 8–12 months. PPND was significantly associated with depression in mothers OR 5.7, lower education OR 4.3, low financial income OR 6.0, decreased relationship satisfaction OR 3.3, and previous history of depression OR 3.2. Conclusions: Psychosocial factors were strong predictors of PPND up to a year after the birth of the child. The authors suggest the routine screening and assessment of both parents should occur during the woman’s pregnancy and in the postnatal period.

Introduction: The gas in the vessels of the portal system and arterial vessels is a very disturbing symptom and life-threatening condition. Aim: The aim of this study is to present a case of gas in the left ventricle (LV), ascending aorta (Ao), superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and hepatic portal vein (HPV) as a complication of gastric ulcer perforation (GUP). Case study: A 78-year-old male patient, who had undergone a laparotomy due to gas in the HPV, SMV, Ao, and both chambers of the heart with concomitant GUP and critical pyloric stenosis. Laparotomy revealed perforation of the gastric wall with limited wall necrosis and critical pyloric stenosis. The patient died on postoperative day 1 due to multiple organ failure. Results and discussion: The presence of gas in HPV (HPVG) and systemic circulation is a rare pathological condition associated with various abdominal diseases. GUP with a gas in the HPV, MV and Ao is very rare. While the mechanism of gas entry into the portal veins of the portal system is better understood, the paths of gas entry into the arterial vessels are still not fully understood and their descriptions are casuistic. Conclusions: The treatment of patients with air in the HPV and systemic vessels is extremely difficult and has a very high risk of failure.
