    Introduction: "It is with great pleasure that I invite readers to browse through the first issue of our journal “Medicine and Public Health”. It is not surprising that as the articles in this issue were submitted not long after the most intense period of the pandemic, we notice a significant number of articles dealing with different aspects of the COVID pandemic. It heavily influenced virtually all aspects of healthcare, hence articles about its impact on areas such as cancer screening and emergency surgery are included. There are also several interesting case reports ranging from an atypical presentation of gallbladder cancer, an atypical Amyand hernia, to the rare congenital malformation situs inversus. In addition, the reader will have the opportunity to consider the difficulties that accompany the differential diagnosis of a kidney mass and iliac crest mass in the section concerning images in clinical medicine. All in all, I sincerely believe that the mix of articles prepared for this issue will meet the high expectations of our readership. And if this is so, I can assure you that we are already working on the next, and hopefully even more interesting issue of our journal."(...)

    Patient with previously misdiagnosed total situs inversus
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2023) Senderek, Tomasz
    Background: The case of 30 years-old patient with recently diagnosed dextrocardia is discussed hererin. Material and methods: Dextrocardia, a specific anomaly of heart position in the chest, usually associated with situs inversus and sometimes by Karteneger’s syndrome was diagnosed in the patient by careful physical examination proven by electrocardiography and imaging. Results: Specific ECG changes were crucial to recognize the syndrome. The patient presented total situs inversus in physical examination. The case is a good exemplification of frequent dextrocardia oversight, since it has not been found during previous 30 years by medical professionals, including both pediatrician and occupational medicine specialist. Conclusions: The attention should be always turned to make a proper diagnosis because it allows to recognize properly additional diseases as well as avoid misdiagnosis in future.
