Delirium is a syndrome frequently encountered in intensive care and associated with a poor prognosis. Intensive care delirium is mostly based on general and palliative intensive care data in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence of delirium in coronary intensive care unit (CICU), related factors, its relationship with inhospital and follow up prognosis, incidence of age-related delirium and its effect on outcomes. This study was conducted with patients hospitalized in CICU of a tertiary university hospital between 01 August 2017 and 01 August 2018. Files of all patients were examined in details, and demographic, clinic and laboratory parameters were recorded. Patients confirmed with psychiatry consultation were included in the groups of patients who developed delirium. Patients were divided into groups with and without delirium developed, and baseline features, inhospital and follow up prognoses were investigated. In addition, patients were divided into four groups as <65 years old, 65-75 yo, 75-84 yo and> 85 yo, and the incidence of delirium, related factors and prognoses were compared among these groups. A total of 1108 patients (mean age: 64.4 ± 13.9 years; 66% men) who were followed in the intensive care unit with variable indications were included in the study. Of all patients 11.1% developed delirium in the CICU. Patients who developed delirium were older, comorbidities were more frequent, and these patients showed increased inflammation findings, and significant increase in inhospital mortality compared to those who did not develop delirium (p<0.05). At median 9-month follow up period, rehospitalization, reinfarction, cognitive dysfunction, initiation of psychiatric therapy and mortality were significantly higher in the delirium group (p<0.05). When patients who developed delirium were divided into four groups by age and analyzed, incidence of delirium and mortality rate in delirium group were significantly increased by age (p<0.05). Development of delirium in coronary intensive care unit is associated with increased inhospital and follow up morbidity and mortality. Delirium is more commonly seen in geriatric patients and those with comorbidity, and is associated with a poorer prognosis. High-risk patients should be more carefully monitored for the risk of delirium.

[In Hungary, there was a ward related psychotherapy already since the 1960s, yet without any national network to the 1980s. In Debrecen the spreading of the psychotherapeutic approach started in the psychiatric facilities since the 1990s. Daytime Hospital was founded first in the County Hospital and later on in the Department of Psychiatry of the University. The latter option was provided by separating the psychiatry from neurology. This study presents the development of the day care at the Psychiatric Department along the opportunities and shows the structure of the actually functioning system finally reports on our future plans respectively. Initially started the occupational therapy, gymnastics, community cooking and walking, which did not require any separate rooms. The 22-bed psychotherapeutic unit was established 2014 with its joined capacity for 11 persons in the Daytime Hospital. The County Hospital is engaged primarily in socio-therapy of psychotic psychiatry pa­tients, however the Psychiatric Department is rehabilitating mainly patients with affective spectrum disorders. Patients are treated in socio-therapy and psychotherapy small groups for a half or one year. Afterward they enter the outpatient program, may join the Patient Club or decide for therapeutic occupation aiming the best way of recovery. According to the feedback, there is a long-term change in the mental state of the patients leading to improvement in their quality of life, which we plan to prove by an efficacy research program. ]

[INTRODUCTION - Systemic diseases may sometimes be challenging because physicians do not think about synthesizing the parts to a single entity. CASE REPORT - A 49-year-old asthmatic female was admitted to hospital for the investigation of her cutaneous symptoms suggestive of vasculitis associated with diffuse joint complaints. The chest X-ray raised the possibility of pneumonia or neoplastic disease. Following an episode of chest pain relieved by a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, she suddenly died. Her previous history included restrictive cardiomyopathy, insufficiency of both atrioventricular valves and long dating eosinophilia. Autopsy revealed a partly granulomatous eosinophilic inflammatory process in several organs, including the heart, the lungs, the kidneys, the colon and the pituitary gland. Retrospective collection of unknown anamnestic features and symptoms made possible to unify the pieces of information and symptoms to a single entity, the Churg-Strauss syndrome (eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, EGPA). CONCLUSIONS - Bronchial asthma seldom leads to death. It can rarely be part of the Churg-Strauss syndrome, of which the manifestation may be related to the administration of leukotriene antagonists also used in the presented case. These drugs may allow the withdrawal of systemic steroid therapy which is beneficial not only in the treatment of asthma but also of the syndrome. Lowering the dose of steroids may promote the development of the full blown pattern of the latter.]

[Imaging plays a crucial role in defining bone metastases, and thus, therapy planning. We are responsible for accurate data collection, pre-treatment evaluation, evaluation of therapy response and post-treatment evaluation. Precision highly depends on the expertise and experience of the evaluating radiologist, and therefore, being familiar with the latest literature is essential. The bone status can be detected well by bone scan, analysed by conventional X-ray examination and by the cross sectional digital imaging modalities. The whole body PET/CT functional imaging is becoming increasingly popular in the metastatic workup of patients and for monitoring response to therapy. MRI has been found to be the most accurate method for bone metastasis in most comparative evaluations in the literature. This article is a review of the latest papers focusing on the clinical significance of the imaging results in bone metastasis diagnostics.]

[OBJECTIVES - Unclassifiable B-cell lymphoma, which shows intermediate features typical for both diffuse, large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a novel category of diffuse, large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL/HL), described in the WHO classification in 2008. This rare type of lymphomas presents peculiar clinical, morphological and immunophenotypical patterns, previously called gray-zone lymphomas. CASE REPORT - In December 2011 a 17- year old boy was diagnosed with mixedcellularity subtype of classical HL on the basis of left inguinal lymph node biopsy. Staging examinations revealed a IV/BXS (abdominal bulky) stage disease with unfavourable prognosis. Because of the unusally extended disease (nodal-extranodalbulky), a histological revision was performed. After a half course of ABVD chemotherapy the patient’s symptoms disappeared and the sizes of the involved lymph nodes decreased. On the basis of the histological revision, the diagnosis was changed to DLBCL/HL, so the treatment was modified to R-CHOP-14 regimen. After 3 cycles of R-CHOP-14 a complete metabolic remission (CMR) was achieved, which was confirmed by a 18FDG-PET/CT scan. Staging examinations after further 4 cycles of RCHOP- 14 therapy showed that the patient was still in CMR, but a PET-negative large mass (7×3 centimeter) still remained visible in the abdominal region. Considering this residual tumour and the agressive subtype of lymphoma the patient was referred for an autologous haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). After 2 cycles of R-DHAP regimen, successful CD34- positive stem cell collection was performed in August 2012. In September 2012, a RLAM-BEAM conditioning was performed followed by AHSCT. Posttransplantation 18FDG-PET/CT scan revealed further morphological regression, no symptom of the underlying disease appeared and the patient is in complete remission for 15 months. CONCLUSIONS - This case exemplifies that in case of atypical clinical findings and unusual progress of the disease it might be worthwile to re-evaluate the case and the (histological) diagnosis, which requires a close cooperation between the clinician and the pathologist.]
