Cytokines are important mediators of stroke-induced immunological/inflammatory reaction which contributes to brain infarct progression as well as to the disease severity and outcome. The aim of the study was to evaluat...
The surgical intervention is necessary in about 20% of all cases of the perinatal brachial plexus palsy. In this study the intrasurgical view and the applied microsurgical techniques were analysed. The clinical material...
The pilocytic astrocytoma is only rarely associated with gross intratumoral hemorrhage despite rich vasculature and blood vessel changes, accompanied often by perivascular depots of hemosiderin.
We report an unusual cas...
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM), also called childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination (CACH), is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in any of the five genes encod...
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) was first identified in 1996 in the UK, and results from human exposure to the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent. vCJD has subsequently been identified in 10 additional...

Cytokines are important mediators of stroke-induced immunological/inflammatory reaction which contributes to brain infarct progression as well as to the disease severity and outcome. The aim of the study was to evaluat...
The analysis of the intrasurgical view of the obstetric brachial plexus palsy
The surgical intervention is necessary in about 20% of all cases of the perinatal brachial plexus palsy. In this study the intrasurgical view and the applied microsurgical techniques were analysed. The clinical material...
Hemosiderin pigmentation of tumour cells in cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma associated with post-traumatic hemorrhage in adults
The pilocytic astrocytoma is only rarely associated with gross intratumoral hemorrhage despite rich vasculature and blood vessel changes, accompanied often by perivascular depots of hemosiderin. We report an unusual cas...
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter due to homozygous EIF2B2 gene mutation. First Polish cases
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM), also called childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination (CACH), is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in any of the five genes encod...
Risks of transmission of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease by blood transfusion
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) was first identified in 1996 in the UK, and results from human exposure to the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent. vCJD has subsequently been identified in 10 additional...
