ROLE OF GENERAL PRACTICE DOCTOR IN THE TREATMENT OF SIGNET RING CELL CARCINOMA
Introduction: Stomach cancer is the second in mortality and the fourth most frequent of all cancers in the world. In the recent decades, the number of patients with Signet ring cell carcinoma type has been growing. Unknown etiology with proven risk factors such as smoked and salted foods, smoking, metabolic syndrome, alcohol abuse and Helicobacter pylori infection. Five-year span survival is 20%-40%.
Case outline: Patient, 70 years old, in good health, came to the GP, because of pain she had been feeling in the lower back area for a couple of months. Sometimes she wakes up because of the pain below the chest. Belch, acid, lost three kilograms. Didn't pay any attention to the problem because earlier, due to severe osteoporosis, she had obtained a compression fracture of two vertebrae. Occult bleeding negative. Laboratory normal. Tenderness on palpation of epigastrium, the tumor mass is not palpable. Addressed immediate to esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Diagnosis: Ulcer ventriculi, region antrum. Histopathological findings: Gastric Adenocarcinoma, diffuse type, Signet ring cell. Computed tomography showed locoregional lymphadenopathy so responsible Consilium decided radical surgery and chemotherapy. Despite being treated, the patient pass away two years after the onset of the illness.
Conclusion: Primary health care workers have a big responsibility, because of nonspecific symptoms, in detection of gastric cancer. Good evaluation of patients who should be referred for esophagogastroduodenoscopy is essential. The doctor should keep in mind in the further course of treatment early postoperative complications, Dumping syndrome, appears ventral anastomosis, subocclusive disorders, gallbladders calculus formation, educate patients about nutrition, vitamins, monitor vitamin B12 and iron because patients are prone to vitamin deficiency and pernicious anemia. Psychological support for patients and their families is also very significant, through a concrete doctor-patient relationship.

VESTIBULAR NERVE SCHWANNOMA, TREATED WITH GAMMA KNIFE AND DIAGNOSED AFTER TRANSITORY ISCHEMIC ATTACK IN POSTERIOR CEREBRAL VASCULARISATION
A case of a patient is shown, who was admitted for neurological exploration, with clinical manifestations of the cerebrovascular accident in the posterior circulation (TIA V-B vascularisation). In accordance with diagnostic protocol, an endocranial CT was performed. The results of the brain CT indicated an existence of an alteration in the right pontocerebellar angle area, which was subsequently diagnosed as a n. vestibularis schwannoma in an NMR examination. After a neurosurgical deliberation, the patient was treated with a gamma knife. After this surgery, which was done in a local anesthesia, the patient's condition was well and he was discharged. Control examinations have shown minor difficulties during the stimulation of the left ear auditive structures. Control examinations involving NMR showed no signs of recidivate focal findings.

CRANIOCEREBRAL INJURY COMPLICADET BY BENING CYST OF THE MIDDLE CRANIAL FOSSA
Arachnoid cysts are cavities filled with liquor, usually localized on the floor of the middle cranial fossa. Clinically, they are usually asymptomaticand can sometimes be presented with increased intracranial pressure syndrome and epileptic seizures. We present a patient who, after a slight head injury in a accident develops an increased intracranial pressure syndrome followed by an epileptic seizure. Based on the clinical course and diagnostic processing, we want to draw attention doctors who are in a position to inspect these patients that apparently slight head injuries can be complicated and dangerous for the lives of the premorbid intracranial condition of the injured.

RARE MALPOSITION OF CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER
Introduction:Although placement of the central venous catheter is a routine procedure carried out by anesthesiologists, it
carries a certain risk of complications. One of the complications is malposition, or inadequate catheter position.
Case report: We present a case of the patient who was admitted to an intensive care unit due to head injury and blood
vomiting. The central venous catheter was inserted through the right internal jugular vein. Due to haemodynamic instability and the need for fluid and blood infusion, a chest x-ray examination was not immediately performed to evaluate the position of the catheter. After the patient was stabilized, the test was performed and revealed that the tip of the catheter was not located in the superior vena cava but in the right subclavian vein.
Conclusion: This case has shown that the misplacement of the central venous catheter tip is not unusual. Once in the venous system, even when it is not located in the superior vena cava, it can be used for initial fluid replacement and drug administration, and after the patient is stabilized, the repositioning or placement of a new catheter should be considered.
