ABSTRACT:
46 patients with longitudinal vertical meniscal tears, localized in red-red and red-white zone were treated using RAPIDLOC™ Implant for meniscal repair. Follow-up average 6 months. Results: Lysholm score –average 93; Tegner activity score -3,7; Marshall Rating System -93% excellent, 7% good, 0% poor. The average time for return to full presurgical activities, including sports, was 4 mounts
Key words: meniscal repair- RAPIDLOC™-all inside technique

RECURRENT ANAPLASTIC MENINGIOMA AFTER SURGERY AND RADIATION THERAPY FOR BASAL CELL CARCINOMA - CASE REPORT

Neurology department, Medical University – Varna
ABSTRACT:
A case-report of 63-year female who developed meningioma after surgery and contact cranial radiotherapy for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was presented. Initial symptoms appeared in a latency period of 14 years and included moderate frontal and occipital headache, nausea, speech disorder, gait instability, memory impairment and secondary generalized seizure. The tumor lesion visualized on the computed tomography(CT) and the medical history of previous cancer disease led initially our thinking to the diagnosis of cerebral metastasis. Histological verification confirmed anaplastic meningioma. Long-term follow-up of clinical, CT and electrophysiological findings corresponded with the recurrent course of the disease 10 months after gross-total tumor extirpation. Stable course of the disease was established since second operation until now.
Review of the literature concerning incidence and differential diagnosis of post-radiation brain tumors was done. The prior cranial irradiation as a possible risk factor for meningioma development was discussed.
Key words: basal cell carcinoma, radiation therapy, recurrent meningioma, differential diagnosis

ABSTRACT:
An original PC program developed and designed for registration, storage and analysis of database about patients with primary and secondary brain tumors was presented. The so called "Program for operation of hospital charts of patients with brain neoplasms" was based on information from routine and modern clinical, instrumental and immunological methods for diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis. It was designed as a PC model of a chart for registration with unique mode of operation of patients’ entry characteristics, forming of their results into database and opportunity for calculation and prognosis of exit parameters such as probable survival rate and etc.
The main task of the program was to provide a useful data for the investigated patients with brain tumors. It was achieved by application of a real chart for collection and extraction of filtrated information about clinical cases with similar characteristics. The entire operation of the database was set up by Microsoft OLEDBDC driver 2003. The integral functionality concerning screen imaging, entry, correction, erasure, search and calculation of data was realized with program language Microsoft Visual C# 2003. The presented program was highly informative and easily available for routine administration in the neuro-oncological practice.
Key words: brain tumor, information system, PC program, database, hospital chart

ABSTRACT:
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare tumor. There is greater agreement for separating “neuroblastoma-like” forms from tumors arising in the same location and manifest morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of neuroendocrine carcinoma.
The aim of present study is to describe the typical clinical, histological and immunohistochemical findings of ONB in 58-year old woman which help us to exclude non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and endocrine carcinoma.
Key words: olfactory neuroblastoma, neuroblastoma like forms, neuroendocrine carcinoma

SUMMARY:
The purpose of the investigation is to analyze by means of hospital based case-control study the influence of working time duration in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. The results demonstrate that males prevail among AMI patients in any age groups except for the group over 76 years while at the working age, 60,9% of the subjects examined are mainly physical workers (Mann-Whitney U 1633, As. Sig. 0,02). There is a statistically significant overtime workday and workweek immediately prior to hospitalization as well as a systemic pattern concerning the length of service in the group with AMI in comparison with that in the control group. Wrong working time organization with overtime workday and workweek is a correctable risk factor for a healthy status.
Key words: acute myocardial infarction, overtime work, case-control study.
