ZNAČAJ INICIJALNOG ODNOSA NEUTROFILA I LIMFOCITA I TROMBOCITA I LIMFOCITA KAO MARKERA TEŽINE KLINIČKE SLIKE PACIJENATA OBOLELIH OD COVID-19
Uvod: COVID-19 predstavlja inflamatornu bolest koja varira od asimptomatske do teške kliničke slike. Rano prepoznavanje pacijenata sa povećanim
rizikom od progresije bolesti značajno je za dalji tok lečenja. Odnos neutrofila i limfocita (NLR), kao i odnos trombocita i limfocita (PLR),značajni su
kao pokazatelji sistemskog inflamatornog odgovora. Cilj: Cilj studije je utvrditi prediktivnu ulogu inicijalnog odnosa neutrofila i limfocita (NLR)
trombocita i limfocita (PLR) u proceni težine kliničke slike kao i daljem toku lečenja pacijenata obolelih od COVID-19. Materijal i metode:
Sprovedena je retrospektivna studija kod hospitalizovanih pacijenata obolelih od COVID-19 u KBC Priština- Gračanica, u periodu od početka
pandemije do jula 2021. godine. Dijagnoza COVID-19 je potvrđivana pozitivnim PCR testom kojim je detektovana nukleinska kiselina iz uzorka
nazofaringealnog brisa. U odnosu na težinu kliničke slike pacijente smo podelili na pacijente sa teškom i lakšom kliničkom slikom. Analizirali smo
Ne/Ly i Tr/Ly u odnosu na ostale laboratorijske parametre. Za testiranje hipoteze o razlici učestalosti korišćen je χ² i Mann Whitney test i Spermanov
koeficijent korelacije. Kriterijum za statističku značajnost je p<0.005. Rezultati: Istraživanje je sprovedeno kod 634 pacijenta, starosne dobi od 18
do 93 godine (prosečna vrednost 57,4 ± 15,9 godina), pacijenti muškog pola bili su statistički značajno stariji. Većina pacijenata(71,8%) lečena je na
opštem odeljenju, dok je kod 28,2% došlo do razvoja teške kliničke slike koja je zahtevala lečenje u jedinici intenzivne nege (JIN).Inicijalni
laboratorijski parametri pokazali su značajno povišene vrednosti neutrofila, C-reaktivnog proteina (CRP), aspartat aminotransferaze (AST), glikemije i
kreatin kinaze (CK) kod pacijenata sa težom kliničkom slikom. Pacijenti sa blažom kliničkom slikom imali su više vrednosti limfocita, trombocita,
ukupnih proteina i albumina u odnosu na pacijente sa težom kliničkom slikom. Odnos neutrofila i limfocita (Ne/Ly) na prijemu je pozitivno korelirao
sa sledećim parametrima: starost, broj leukocita,neutrofila, CRP, GGT, LDH, glikemija i CK. S druge strane, uočena je negativna korelacija između
odnosa Ne/Ly i vrednosti limfocita i albumina na prijemu.Odnos trombocita i limfocita (Tr/Ly) na prijemu pokazao je pozitivnu povezanost sa
vrednosću leukocita, neutrofila, trombocita, kao i sa vrednostima CRP-a i glikemije. Negativna povezanost je zabeležena između Tr/Ly sa
vrednostima limfocita i albumina. Zaključak: Odnosi neutrofila i limfocita i trombocita i limfocita na prijemu mogu pomoći u proceni razvoja teže
kliničke slike pacijenata obolelih od COVID-19, ali ne samostalno, kao izolovani pokazatelji već zajedno sa ostalim kliničkim parametrima.
Ključne reci: COVID-19; laboratorijski parametri; klinička slika

USE OF PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES AMONG BELGRADE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH DIAGNOSED SOMATIC OR MENTAL DISORDERS
Introduction/Objective
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between use of psychoactive substances among University students and diagnosed somatic or mental disorders.
Methods
The cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of 2,000 students of the Belgrade University. Four faculties (Medicine, Geography, Economics, Electrical Engineering) from which the students participating in this research were chosen by the method of random choice (by computer listing), conducted in the period April - June 2010.
Results
We observed that are more numerous students who used psychoactive substances among students with diagnosed somatic illnesses compared to those without them. Statistical significance was found among students who used tobacco (p=0.027), alcohol (p=0.002), sedatives (p<0.001) and cannabis (p=0.021). Mental disorders are also connected to use of psychoactive substances. The statistical significance was achieved for all psychoactive substances except for alcohol.
Conclusion
Use of psychoactive substances is an important issue among University students with diagnosed somatic or mental disorder. Therefore, it is essential to recognize the symptoms and consequences of such behavior, and above all and connection thereof, the importance of prevention which may enhance better solution-seeking via proper education.

THE PREVALENCE OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AMONG STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE
Introduction/Objective
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of alcohol use in the student population of the University of
Belgrade.
Methods
The cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of 2,000 students of the Belgrade University. Four faculties (Medicine, Geography,
Economics, Electrical Engineering) from which the students participating in this research were chosen by the method of random choice (by computer
listing), conducted in the period April - June 2010.
Results
Among our respondents, the highest amount of spirits is consumed by respondents from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, with 22% of
them consuming more than 6 shots on each occasion, while the smallest number of students who drink more than 6 shots on each occasion are from
the Faculty of Economics, with 8%. Students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, who have the lowest prevalence of cigarette use, consume
alcohol in a binge drinking pattern. The highest frequency of binge drinking in the past year and in the past month before the survey was among
respondents from the Faculty of Geography.
Conclusion
There is a need for developing a conscience about all the effects that alcohol has, especially physical ones which are not usually noticed
immediately; taking responsibility for own actions; working on a healthy life style and educating people to enhance and improve their health control.
