All patients underwent conventional chemotherapy with anthracyclines, preparatory regimen (a high dose chemotherapy which contains Cyclophosphamide) and haemopoietic stem cell transplantation. The study verified the necessity for monitoring cardiac functions both during the treatment and the follow-up period....

Bohumil Skála
VZL 2005, 74(1):30-34
From 1997 to 2001 discussion concerning primary care was occurring within the teaching of social medicine. This teaching described, in a basic way, the differences between primary and hospital care. At the same time medical students were asked questions. These questions should have addressed, in a simple way, two basic areas (which the 5th year medical student should be able to answer): 1. How they imagine their professional future and 2. What their experience with primary care physicians has been so far.The results of the discussion showed that a large number - nearly 50 % of medical students were interested in hospital practice. At the same time...
