To evaluate the role of isolated acetabular revision with modular trabecular titanium implants using simple extraction and reinsertion of femoral monoblock cemented stem (tap-out tap-in technique). ⋯ Isolated acetabular revision using modular trabecular titanium implant with reinsertion of the original non-modular monoblock cemented femoral stem is a safe and effective technique in adequately selected patients (Tab. 3, Fig. 4, Ref. 30).

This investigation aimed to estimate reliability of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and quality of life of patients after PCI or CABG surgery. ⋯ The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire has a good reliability in characterizing the quality of life of patients after PCI or CABG surgery. Patients after PCI or CABG surgery had a relatively moderate quality of life (Tab. 6, Ref. 23).

Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) is commonly encountered in clinical practice. This condition requires sufficient knowledge of health care professionals (HCPs) carrying for these patients. ⋯ Targeted educational programs are needed for better understanding of DHRs. The implementation of the national guidelines needs improvement. The approach used can be recommended for study of the problems in other areas of healthcare (Tab. 4, Fig. 2, Ref. 15).

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in University of Defence members. ⋯ To increase the vaccination rate it is necessary to target the younger population and increase awareness of vaccine safety and efficacy. If these measures are not sufficient to encourage voluntary vaccine acceptance, consideration should be given to making vaccination mandatory for selected professional groups (Tab. 5, Fig. 1, Ref. 25).

The objective was to prove efficiency of tracheal resection in the cohort of patients of our clinic and to introduce our own modification of T-cannula as a surgical alternative if tracheal resection is contraindicated. ⋯ Tracheal resection is a safe and effective procedure with good results. T- tube insertion presents a surgical alternative if bronchoscopy is unavailable or failed (Tab. 4, Fig. 2, Ref. 20).
