The authors describe a rare case of hamartoma in the larynx of a 31 years old man. The egg sized tumor was situated in the left aryepiglottic fold filling the lower pharyngeal space. The unfortunate ...location, patient disdain as well as late diagnosis and proper management caused the histologically benign tumor to enlarge and block the laryngeal entrance that endangering life. After initial tracheotomy the tumor was successfully removed through the mouth.

Granular cell tumor is an unusual growth of probably neuroectodermal histogenesis, first reported by Abrikossoff in 1926 with the name of myoblastenmyoma. Authors described a case of a 54 year man ...with laryngeal seat of granular-cell myoblastoma. In this case Abrikossoff tumor was located in the right vocal chord. The tumor was treated successfully surgically by microlaryngoscopy. The etiology, clinical features and diagnostic difficulties are discussed.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a disease with replacement of normal retroperitoneal tissue with isolated fibrotic plaque placed around aorta and entrapping ureters. In 15% of patients an fibrotic ...process can be found outside the retroperitoneum. The most common localisation outside retroperitoneum is mediastinum, however, it can occur in every organ. The patient usually is diagnosed due to symptoms connected to compression of the ureters. We report the case of 41-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complaining of nonspecific, dull, noncolicky pain localized to the back and abdomen. Finally we recognised retroperitoneal fibrosis. The diagnosis was proven by lumbar mass biopsy.
The authors describe an unusually case of throat tumor and dyspnea in course of Elongated Styloid Process Syndrome. They pay attention to X-ray examination, including CT, in correct diagnosis.
The aim of the study was to estimate by means of acoustic rhinometry (AR) the nasal blockade in 37 patients (5-73 years old, mean 32) with upper airways infections treated by fusafungine. The ...examinations were carried out on the first (D1) and seventh day (D7) of observation. Cross-sectional area (CA) mean values of 3 cm sector laid back to C notch of AR curves (CA-C3) were selected to the analysis.
The mean value of CA-C3: in all patients it was 2.61 cm2 on D1 and 2.8 cm2 on D7; in rhinitis and sinusitis patients--2.23 cm2, in others--3.16 cm2; without nasal discharge--3.48 cm2, in others (with severe or medium)--2.53 cm2 and 2.48 cm2 respectively. 29 patients had nasal blockade (78.4%) with mean CA-C3 = 2.34 cm2 (others--3.56, p < 0.05). During seven days the following enlargement of CA-C3 was reported: 14.9% in all patients (p < 0.01); in viral infections 24% (n = 14, p < 0.01), bacterial 14.3% (n = 11, NI); in nasal blockade patients--15.22%, others--13.55% (p < 0.01). Mean value of CA-C3 increased by 37.7% in patients who demonstrated, according to the physicians, "very good improvement", 5.7%--"good", 1.5%--"weak" (p < 0.05). There was also enlargement of nasal cavities in CA-C3 in non-sneezers (p < 0.05) and medium discharge symptom patients (p < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in clinical and acoustic rhinometry results between patients treated with fusafungine together with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and patients treated with fusafungine.
AR is a good instrument to be used in the objective assessment of the nasal blockade changes in people with infection of the nasal mucosa and showed positive efficacy of fusafungine in the treatment of upper airway infection.

The article deals with results of the survey carried out in November 2004 on conselors from the Agricultural Advisory Centers in Minikowo and Zarzeczewo in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie province. In the ...opinion of the majority of counselors integration of Poland with the European Union will have a positive influence on the economic development of the country and the agricultural sector in Poland, especially on improvement of the general situation of farming and modernization of this sector. However, the surveyed counselors did not predict a big improvement of the Polish agriculture right after the integration which was probably due to a short time that had passed since official joining the Union structures by Poland. In the surveyed population most respondents were sceptical about likelihood of unemployment decrease after the integration. Respondents did not predict reduction of the number of young people migrating from villages to towns in result of the integration with the EU, either
The electronics used in the data readout and triggering system for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator at CERN are exposed to high ...radiation levels. This radiation can cause permanent damage to the electronic circuitry, as well as temporary effects such as data corruption induced by Single Event Upsets. Once the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) accelerator upgrades are completed it will have five times higher instantaneous luminosity than LHC, allowing for detection of rare physics processes, new particles and interactions. Tests have been performed to determine the effects of radiation on the electronic components to be used for the Endcap Muon electronics project currently being designed for installation in the CMS experiment in 2013. During these tests the digital components on the test boards were operating with active data readout while being irradiated with 55 MeV protons. In reactor tests, components were exposed to 30 years equivalent levels of neutron radiation expected at the HL-LHC. The highest total ionizing dose (TID) for the muon system is expected at the inner-most portion of the CMS detector, with 8900 rad over ten years. Our results show that Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components selected for the new electronics will operate reliably in the CMS radiation environment.
