No full textThe ability of the adult brain to undergo plastic changes is of particular interest in medicine, especially regarding recovery from injuries or improving learning and cognition. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been associated with juvenile experience-dependent primary visual cortex (V1) plasticity, yet little is known about their role in this process in the adult V1. Activation of MMPs is a crucial step facilitating structural changes in a healthy brain; however, upon brain injury, upregulated MMPs promote the spread of a lesion and impair recovery. To clarify these seemingly opposing outcomes of MMP-activation, we examined the effects of MMP-inhibition on experience-induced plasticity in healthy and stoke-affected adult mice. In healthy animals, 7-day application of MMP-inhibitor prevented visual plasticity. Additionally, treatment with MMP-inhibitor once but not twice following stroke rescued plasticity, normally lost under these conditions. Our data imply that an optimal level of MMP-activity is crucial for adult visual plasticity to occur
Open House London in the background of architectural literature studies
No full textThe article refers to the international scientific symposium which took place in 2019 in the UK capital during the Open House London. The meeting of scholars from Warsaw and London was devoted to the assumptions of architectural literature studies and possibilities of developing this approach for research on Polish emigration in London. In the first part of the article Aleksandra Wójtowicz – an author of the approach of architectural literature studies – presents its assumptions and possibilities of implementation. She recalls the features of ‘difficult places’ – a category developed by Warsaw’s interdisciplinary team. She also mentions the principles of ‘re-imaginary architecture’ – Justyna Gorzkowicz’s proposal – referring to the category of reading identity places in exile. The second part of the article is devoted to the specics of Open House London. Justyna Gorzkowicz presents the characteristics of two Polish places that the symposium participants could get acquainted with during their visit to London: PUNO’s headquarters and Cezary Bednarski’s Vertically Detached Houses

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide with 24.1 million new stroke cases in 2017 and 700,000 more stroke-related deaths, as compared to 2016. Although some patients recover after a stroke, the significant majority continue to have numerous health problems resulting in substantial decrease of life quality. This article reviews the evaluation and the current advances in the management of acute ischemic stroke, starting in the prehospital setting followed by stroke hospital management.
Conclusions: Appropriate treatment of ischemic stroke is essential in the reduction of mortality and morbidity. Therapeutic methods have greatly expanded beyond the utility of intravenous thrombolysis, with more advanced and complex techniques. Mechanical thrombectomy has revolutionised the management through the clot retrieval techniques improving patient outcomes. Appropriate application of the available treatment methods is crucial to optimising outcomes of patients with stroke, starting from pre-hospital accurate assessment. High-quality care of patients with ischemic stroke requires efficient cooperation of multidisciplinary medical staff.

Abstract
Introduction: Preterm infants are at high risk for various neurological complications and mortality caused by hypoxemia, haemorrhage or inflammation concerning preterm delivery. Resulting brain lesions are mostly asymptomatic - they cannot be diagnosed clinically as such neuroimaging of preterm infants has become part of routine clinical care.
In this article, newest studies about intraventricular haemorrhage, its complications and treatment methods were reviewed. The PubMed database was searched using keywords “intraventricular haemorrhage”, “preterm infant”, “intraventricular haemorrhage treatment”, “intraventricular haemorrhage outcome”.
State of knowledge: Early diagnosis, appropriate nursing care and treatment can minimise morbidity. Prognosis is mainly determined by the severity of bleeding, occurred complications and neurological irreversible changes. Intraventricular haemorrhage can cause posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, disability and mental retardation in further life. Even mild grades of haemorrhage can result in developmental disorders. Long-term issues such as neurodevelopmental disorders and cerebral palsy are as important as short-term problems. Detection of injuries affecting preterm infants is used to identify complications that might necessitate an intervention.
While head ultrasound is the standard of care for routine neuroimaging screening, the use of brain magnetic resonance imaging has expanded recently.
Conclusions: Considerable advances in neonatal care have resulted in improved survival and prognosis of development of preterm infants with intraventricular haemorrhage. Although there is a wide range of treatment methods, further studies are needed to assess their safety, effectiveness and impact on short- and long-term outcome.
Keywords: intraventricular haemorrhage; preterm infant; intraventriculat haemorrhage treatment; preterm delivery; ultrasonography; magnetic resonance imagin

Abstract
Introduction: Medical cannabis for patients with chronic pain related to various conditions has been the focus of numerous investigations. Cannabis-based medicine has been described for hundreds of years but only recently have we seen the more scientific, evidence-based approach to its use, and ongoing investigations continue to explore its potential medical benefits.
State of knowledge: As the results of studies assessing medical cannabis in pain alleviate seem promising, only weak recommendations are available. Important factors to consider in the development of guidelines include optimal doses, routes of administration and used types of cannabinoids. In discussed studies no serious adverse events were reported and treatment was well tolerated by participants.
Conclusions: Evidence suggests that cannabis-based medicine can be safe and effective in pain relief. Further high-quality randomised clinical trial studies are needed. It is important to assess the safety profile of each individual cannabinoid formulation and define the population that can benefit from cannabis therapy for establishment of prospective recommendations and guidelines.

Abstract
Introduction: Pelvic congestion syndrome is defined as the presence of varicose changes in the ovarian veins and venous plexuses associated with chronic pelvic pain syndrome. The main problem with pelvic congestion syndrome is the low awareness of medical staff about this syndrome and the resulting very low recognition.
State of knowledge: Pelvic congestion syndrome is an important cause of chronic pelvic pain. The diagnosis is based on imaging examination with ultrasound as a first-line choice and correlation with clinical presentation. The aetiology is multifactorial and may result from a combination of genetic predisposition, anatomical abnormalities, hormonal, mechanical factors with venous wall weakness, reverse blood flow and hypertension. The incidence is strongly related to the number of pregnancies.
Conclusions: Pelvic congestion syndrome is one of the possible causes of chronic pelvic pain, thus differential diagnosis should necessarily include venous insufficiency during interviewing, clinical and ultrasound examination of patients. Among several treatment methods, intravascular embolization is a minimally invasive, effective and safe, currently recognised as a method of choice in treatment.
