This study concerns the situation of the minors related to the above presented information. Among the multiple and severe cases presented to the medical services, there is a certain number of abused children. Maltreating can be of physical, sexual, emotional nature, or can be the result of carelessness. The analysis of the death codes for violent death in Bistrita-Nasaud county, realized by the Bistrita-Nasaud Public Health Department using the data base from the last five years (between 01.01.2010 and 31.12.2014), releases that out of the 667 cases of death by violent death, 6,3% were registered among minors. The analysis shows that masculine gender was mostly affected in a proportion of 66% of the cases. The majority proportion of deceases caused by violent death at the minors who have had a necropsy in Bistrita-Nasaud county in the last five years is due to car accidents (40%). In the other cases, the carelessness of the parents could lead to an unfavourable context in which the life of children was suppressed (drowning, carbon monoxide intoxication, mechanical asphyxia with vomit liquid and, partly, even the circulation accidents). And the direct guilt of the adults was quantified by the number of physical force (murder) aggression cases. Keywords: violent death , minors, negligence , death codes , accidents

The present study comparatively analyzes the hospitalized cases of the Psychiatry acute department of CEHB during the pandemic interval (March 2020-February 2022) to the similar previous time interval, especially from the systemic couple and family psychotherapy point of view. Material and method. The cases were statistically retrospectively analyzed on the basis of hospital informatic applications, correlated to the approved hospital structure, current codification systems, the statement and the values contracted by the health insurance system. Results. There were pandemic specific trends (fewer cases, lower complexity, but higher average patient stay and bad prognosis, sometimes showing unbalance between the effective cost and statement value through the Health Insurance House Bistrita-Nasaud). The psychological impact of the pandemic firmly imposed the relational counseling necessity (increase of 1500%). Other therapies (couple therapy, sexual therapy) were not cons...

Methods: We conducted a PubMed search to identify all relevant publications regarding the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum procalcitonin in patients with a known or suspected central nervous system infection. We also reviewed the bibliographies of all identified manuscripts in an attempt to identify additional relevant references. Results: A significant body of evidence suggests that serum procalcitonin has a promising role and can be a useful biomarker in the assessment of patients with meningitis. Conclusions: Our literature review suggests that data on the role of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) procalcitonin are limited, whereas serum procalcitonin (S-PCT) is probably a useful tool in the evaluation of patients with a known or suspected central nervous system infection and can help distinguish between bacterial and viral meningitis.
