Among the morphologists of Ukraine and the world, an honourable place is occupied by Doctor of Medicine, Professor, Head of the Department of Normal Anatomy at Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University (1982-1988), member of the Scientific Society of Anatomists, Histologists, Embryologists and Topographical Anatomists (SS AHET) (since 1954), a member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society (SSS) and the Ukrainian Medical Society (UMS) (since 1991) - Lev Mykhailovych Lychkovsky (8.05.1924 - 20.09.1993).

Lev Lychkovsky’s life was dedicated to the service of Science. This article is dedicated to him on the occasion of the centenary of his birth.

Invitation to take part in "Global", "International", and "Worldwide" conferences seem attractive and prestigious and often with affiliation in Europe, USA, Japan or other well-developed Asia countries. Moreover, the possibility of sharing a stage with a "top speaker" and/or eligibility for reduced registration and accommodation fees and being listed in the abstract book on the "international" level might be a hook not only for young researchers but even for experienced ones. A broad range of submissions, low processing fees, increasing authors' citations, high "local" impact factor, an invitation to write an article for money, "gift-authorship”, suboptimal author guidelines or special offers.

The article investigates the historical significance of Lviv, a longstanding intellectual center in Eastern Europe, particularly as the former capital of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. Despite its academic prominence, especially in anatomical sciences, there is a notable gap in international research concerning the University of Lviv and figures like Henryk Karol Klemens Kadyi (1851–1912), a key anatomist and university rector (1898–1899). The study provides an overview of Lviv University’s history and explores Kadyi’s academic impact, emphasizing his crucial role in re-establishing the Medical Faculty in 1894. Kadyi’s contributions to anatomical sciences and his role in shaping Lviv’s medical education are highlighted. Despite his significance, Kadyi remains understudied in international historical research, prompting the authors to initiate a collaborative international project to delve into various aspects of his professional life and his influence on the medical field in the Habsburg Monarchy between the late 19th and early 20th century.

Наркоманія – це хронічна хвороба, для якої властиві серйозні порушення в психічному і фізичному здоров’ї людини. Незважаючи на хорошу обізнаність про наслідки вживання наркотиків, проблема наркоманії  продовжує залишатися актуальною. Унаслідок тривалого вживання наркотичних препаратів розвивається поліорганна недостатність, обумовлена як безпосереднім токсичним дією наркотику, так і ураженням мікроциркуляторного русла органів, що стосується травної системи і слинних залоз зокрема. 

Lviv as the capital of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria (which after the First Partition of Poland fell under Habsburg government in 1772) and its academic life were deeply connected with academic, legal, and political dynamics within the Habsburg Monarchy. For example, this can be shown by the introduction of a dissection course. It was first implemented in Vienna in 1786/87, and somewhat later in more peripheral academic institutions like Lviv, in 1810, after it had proofed itself in the capital. This showcases that Vienna held a special position among all („Austrian“) Habsburg universities as a testing ground for innovations, which later on could be implemented throughout the entire Habsburg Monarchy. The same mechanism has already been researched concerning other “smaller” Habsburg universities, for example in modern day Croatia
