Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.We present a rare case of intracranial solitary plasmacytoma arising in brain parenchyma in the basal nuclei. Clinical management and autopsy results of the case are described. Background: Intracranial plasmacytomas arising from brain parenchyma are extremely rare, and data from the literature are limited. Primary intracranial plasmacytomas are rare because plasma cells are not found in the brain in normal conditions. Commonly, intracranial plasmacytoma is associated with multiple myeloma, which is why multiple myeloma must be ruled out to diagnose solitary intracranial plasmacytoma. Considering that solitary plasmacytoma and multiple myeloma have some histopathological similarities, it is important to differentiate them because their respective treatments and prognoses are different. Imaging features of primary extramedullary plasmacytoma are nonspecific but are compatible with solid tumors with invariable enhancement. Plasmacytoma was aggressive because it was not diagnosed after the first MRI, but 1.5 months later, MRI showed a large object.

SOS Youthhouse in Iecava as base for independent life

Bakalaura darba „SOS jauniešu māja Iecavā kā pamats patstāvīgai dzīvei” galvenais mērķis ir noskaidrot un izanalizēt kā jaunieši, kas noteiktu dzīves posmu pavada SOS jauniešu mājā, iegūst prasmes un zināšanas patstāvīgai dzīvei. Lai šo mērķi realizētu tika izvirzīti vairāki uzdevumi, kas attiecas gan uz jauniešu socializācijas procesu, gan uz SOS organizācijas darbības izpēti. Šis bakalaura darbs galvenokārt sastāv no trīs daļām – teorētiskās pētījuma bāzes, metodoloģijas apraksta un pētījuma empīriskās daļās, taču pamatojoties uz pētāmās tēmas specifiku, tiek sniegta arī informācija par to, kas ir SOS organizācija un tās attīstības vēsture. Pirmajā daļā ir aplūkota teorētiskā bāze, kā pamatu izmantojot trīs teorijas – sociālā kapitāla teoriju, sociālo mobilitāti, un socializācijas konceptu, kas gan katra atsevišķi, gan kopumā skaidro dažādus faktorus un procesus, kas raksturīgi pētījumā aprakstītajai sabiedrības grupai. Pētījuma otrajā daļā aprakstīta metodoloģija, kas ietver empīriskajā pētījumā izmantotās metodes. Pētījuma empīriskajā daļā tika veiktas 12 intervijas ar SOS mājas jauniešiem, lai noskaidrotu kāds ir viņu viedoklis par pašreizējo dzīvesvietu, problēmām, kā arī nākotnes plānus. Tika veiktas arī divas ekspertu intervijas, kurās tika noskaidrota informācija par SOS jauniešu mājas izveidi Iecavā un tās funkcijām sabiedrībā. Darba beigās ir apkopoti galvenie secinājumi, kas radušies pētījuma gaitā.
