    The aim was to show the nurses and hospice care as a member of the team over the patient in a hospice for terminally ill cancer resident inthe house. Nurse choosing to work with patients who die must know that not only medical knowledge will be needed in carrying out its duties but alsoa lot of love, patience and above all humility toward life and death. Characterized range of palliative care and its residents. The paper presents adescription and policies for hospices and home desktops and volunteers working in them. Material - the subject of research - the case of a patient withpancreatic cancer he cultivated to the last moments of life. Test method - method of individual cases, which applies to nursing, is a qualitativedescription of the passage of reality and its interpretation. Used to collect all kinds of information about the case, in particular about the familysituation, social, environmental, material and existential, psychological, physical or other person examined. This is a descriptive study undertaken bytype of research problem, which requires the use of methods relating to a single case or small their number.Research problems:1. How long the patient has symptoms associated with cancer diagnosed?2. Have there been cases of death from cancer in the family sick?3. Have you previously was treated oncological?4. When the first signs of disease?5. Does the patient know about his condition?6. Are they symptomatic treatment introduced hospice doctor brings relief from symptoms?7. Is recommended to take the product (Megace) improves the appetite, gives the desired effect?8. Is your oxygen therapy brought relief in breathing?9. How effective were notmorphotic painkillers?10.Do you sick of the constant care exercised a family?11. Is the hospice team visits took place at regular intervals or whenever the call of the family?12. Is the patient dying in dignity, surrounded by kin?The goal of the research work presented, a description of the patient (the subject of research), research problems and the method ofresearch, technology and research tools, describes the results of research. Presented in a special way and meaningful roles of a nurse who has thecare of the patient in the terminal stage of cancer, staying at home. The problem of mental, spiritual, and emotional problems of the patient and theenvironment. Based on the literature of the subject and based on scientific study, the following conclusions:1. In view of the cancer patient who is not eligible for treatment at the forefront the problem of cancer pain and other ailments of thedigestive and respiratory systems, and greatly reduced physical fitness.2. The patient was the biggest problem was lack of appetite and emaciation of the body related to it which greatly limited its self-care, andin a later stage, prevented completely.3.

    Mesenchymal stem cells have a known regenerative potential and are used in many indications. They secrete many growth factors, including for fibroblasts (FGF), endothelium (VEGF), as well as 14 anti-inflammatory cytokines, and they stimulate tissue regeneration, promoting the secretion of proteins and glycosaminoglycans of extracellular matrices, such as collagen I, II, III, and V, elastin, and also metalloproteinases. They secrete exosomes that contain proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and enzymes. In addition, they show the activity of inactivating free radicals. The aim of this study was an attempt to collect the existing literature on the use of stem cells in the treatment of a burn wound. There were 81 studies included in the analysis. The studies differed in terms of the design, burn wound model, source of stem cells, and methods of cellular therapy application. No major side effects were reported, and cellular therapy reduced the healing time of the burn wound. Few case reports on human models did not report any serious adverse events. However, due to the heterogeneity of the evidence, cellular therapy in burn wound treatment remains an experimental method
