Prediktori pobolјšanja kvaliteta života nakon hirurške revskularizacije miokarda su još uvek nepotpuno poznati. Cilj rada je bio da ispita prediktore poboljšanja kvaliteta života šest meseci nakon hirurške revaskularizacije miokarda. Ispitivali smo 208 uzastopnih pacijenata koji su podvrgnuti hirurškoj revaskularizaciji miokarda. Za ispitivanje kvaliteta života korišćen je upitnik Nottingham Health Profile Questionnaire prvi deo. Upitnik se sastoji od 38 pitanja koji su podeljeni u 6 odeljaka: fizička pokretljivost, socijalna izolacija, emocionalne reakcije, energija, bol i san. Upitnik je podeljen svim pacijentima pre i šest meseci nakon operacije. Prosečna starost ispitivanih pacijenata je bila 58,8 ± 8,2 godine, 82% su bili muškarci. Poređenje pre i postoperativnih skorova je pokazalo da se poboljšanje nalazi kod 53,76% bolesnika, pogoršanje kod 12,46%, normalan KŽ pre i posle operacije kod 26,70%, dok je KŽ nakon operacije bez promene kod 7,08% bolesnika. Nezavisni prediktori poboljšanja kod pacijenata nakon operacije su bili: odsustvo prethodnog infarkta miokarda u odeljku fizička pokretljivost (p=0,03; OR=0,59; CI 0,40-0,92), viša CCS klasa angine u odeljcima fizička pokretljivost (p=0,006; OR=2,34; CI 1,46-3,32), energija (p=0,02; OR=1,70; CI 1,29-2,64) i bol (p<0,001; OR=4,64; CI 2,27-7,31), muški pol u odeljku bol (p=0,03; OR=0,45; CI 0,26-0,62) i mlađe starosno doba u odeljku bol (p=0,01; OR=0,69; CI 0,41-0,85). Prediktori poboljšanja kvaliteta života šest meseci nakon hirurške revaskularizacije miokarda su viša CCS klasa angine, odsustvo prethodnog infarkta miokarda, muški pol i mlađe starosno doba.

Danas gojaznost predstavlja globalni epidemiološki problem koji tokom vremena postoji sve veći. Međutim, efekti gojaznosti na respiratorni sistem često su neuvaženi. U ovom članku biće sagledani mehanički efekti gojaznosti na fiziologiju pluća kao i funkcija masnog tkiva kao endokrinog organa na produkciju sistemske inflamacije i uloge na centralnu kontrolu disanja. Gojaznost igra ključnu ulogu u razvoju opstruktivne apnee u spavanju i opstruktivnog hipoventilacionog sindroma. Bolje razumevanje efekata gojaznosti na respiratorne bolesti i pružanje adekvatnih mera zdravstvene zaštite je od vitalnog značaja u sprečavanju ovog sve značajnijeg problema.

Oštećena tolerancija glukoze,pojam poznat kao predijabetes , predstavlja stepenicu ispred razvoja dijabetes mellitusa tip 2 i može se javiti i deceniju pre manifestnog oblika dijabetesa i sve je češći u mlađoj populaciji. Cilj rada bio je da utvrdi uticaj fizicke neaktivnosti na pojavu predijabatesa i dijabetes mellitusa tip 2. Obrađeno je 80 bolesnika u endokrinološkoj ambulanti Interne klinike KBC Priština-Gračanica, u Lapljem Selu.Ispitanici su anketirani uputnikom iz vodiča Nacionalnog programa za prevenciju dijabetesa tip 2 Republike Srbije. Svim ispitanicima su odrađene polne, demografske i antropometrijske karakteristike kao istepen intolerancije glukoze. Od 80 pacijenata, 33 (41,25%) su muškog pola, a 47 (58,75%) su ženskog pola. Nema statističke značajnosti Hi² testa raspodele ispitanika prema familijarnoj anamnezi (=0,007, p>0,05). Fizička neaktivnost je registrovna u 16 ispitanika (20%), a ostalih 64 ispitanika je fizički aktivno. Normalna glikemija natašte u fizički neaktivnih ispitanika je bila u 56,25% (9), a glikemiju veću od 7 mmol/l je imalo 18,75% ispitanika. Pozitivan OGTT nalaz kod fizički neaktivnih ispitanika je potvrđen u 62,5% , a pozitivan OGTT nalaz kod fizički aktivnih je registrovan u samo 5 ispitanika (11,36%). Ispitanici sa rizikom za nastanak dijabetesa tip 2 (skor 12 i više) u 60% su bili fizički neaktivni. Umerena fizička aktivnost uz korekciju telesne mase ,može znatno da „odloži“ nastanak dijabetes mellitus-a tip 2.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) and venous thromboembolism are two clinical manifestations of a single entity - venous thromboembolism. PE usually occurs through due thrombi from the lower veins, and in 10-15% of cases are due thrombus from upper veins or right heart failure. Significance is mainly determined by the frequency (1/1000 per year in the adult population; less in younger but significant increase with increasing age), the risk of mortality is important in acute and chronic diseases that are associated with this clinical manifestation. Acute pulmonary embolism is often fatal, with a mean annual mortality of about 30% in untreated. Many deaths occur because of recurrent PE within the first few hours after the initial event. In the nineteenth century, Virchow the mechanism of thromboembolism categorized into three groups: changes in the blood vessel wall, a reduction of blood flow (path) and changes in the composition of the blood (hypercoagulable, prothrombotic). Modern interpretation of the pathogenesis of thromboembolism, which is processed corresponds Virhovljevom concept. In general thromboembolic events can be a result of complications of individual risk factors as increased thrombotic potential.

Koštani markeri su veoma korisno dijagnostiško sredstvo, mada je njihova klinička upotreba ograničena specifičnim tehničkim i analitičkim aspektima, kao i njihovom pre-analitičkom varijabilnošću. Koštani markeri, za razliku od mineralne gustine kosti, ukazuju na posebne aspekte kvaliteta kostiju, te stoga nude zasebnu i prognostičku perspektivu u ispitivanju promena mineralne gustine kosti I smanjivanju rizika od fraktura. Smanjenje nivoa koštanih markera usko je povezano sa smanjenjem rizika od frakture vratnih pršljenova usled korišćenja raloksifena, rizedronata i alendronata. Postoje brojne mogućnosti za korišćenje ovih markera u kratkoročnom praćenju toka lečenja osteoporoze, pored merenja mineralne koštane gustine, kako bi se otkrili pacijenti koji ne reaguju na terapiju.

Artrosis as degenerative rheumatic discase of joints, which is the most often with older people, and if it is not cured adequotety it brings to the serious defects. The air of warr is to evaluate functional condition of people sick of hip osteoarthrosis by using two standardised questionnaires for the hip osteoarthrosis. Material and methods: The examination included 100 patients with hip osteoarthrosis (73 women and 23 men) whase diagnosis was set on the basis of ACR criteria. The result : In the group of 100 patients (73 women and 27 men) with average old of 58,87 years and average lasting of sickness 8,28 years from which 77 had bilateral representation of hip osteoarthrosis and 23 unilateral representation of hip osteoarthrosis showed these results of funcional tests: a) averagevalne of Womac score is 50,18 (min 13,00 max 77,00) that is in the medium category of funcional disableness, b) average volne of Lequesne score is 14,12 (min 4,00 max 23,40) that shows high degrece of functional of functional disableness. Both questionnaires are mutvally correlated with a higs degree of statistic importance in the whale score (r= 0,454; p< 0,0001) and so in the subsections: pain (r= 0,540; p<0,0001) and physical functional scale r= 0,728; p< 0,0001). The intensity of pain also correlated with time of step and Womac score (r= 0,454; p< 0,0001), and with the lasting of sickness, female sex, and there wasnt statisticaly important coreelation with Lequesne score (r= 0,215; p= 0,08). Radiologic findig correlated with reduction of the moveness amplitudes, the time of step, the lasting of sickness, the of the patient, Womac score (p< 0,05), and it isnt correlated with Lequesne score. The reduction of the moveness of amplitudes is the hips correlated with radiographic presentation, the time of step, Womac and Lequesne score, localization, the age of patients and using of help materials. Conculsion: The valne of both indexes correlate with the usual clinical indications of coxarthrosis progression, and Womac index shows better correlation with radiologic progression of sickness than with Lequesne index.

In the most prosperous countries, cerebrovascular diseases takes the high third leading position in mortality rate of the population, therefore justifying the name of a ,,mass killer,, speaking of which, its incidence represents un important not only medical but and socially economic problem (only 2-20% sick ones are able to continue with its previous work) Cerebral stroke incidence is 150-200 cases on 100000 persons per year (1). Taking in consideration all the mentioned, we took as the goal of the study, to investigate the impact of the factors at risk, in ethiopatogenesis of the cerebral stroke. Our study was carried out on 40 patients with acute cerebral stroke hospitalized on the Neurology Clinic, KBC Prishtina. Follow up of the factors at risk in atherosclerosis development included: cholesterol, HDLi LDLtriglycerides level in sera, blood and liquor glucoses, glucoses consuming index-IIGM. Descriptive values of the atherosclerosis index also, and the rate of the premorbid illness as the very important factors in development of the cerebral infarct.

Rituximab is a human/mouse chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody that specifically targets the CD20 surface antigen expressed on the cell surface of all preplasma cell stages of B-cell differentiation. By binding to CD20, rituximab causes selective B-cell depletion through antibody-dependent and complement-dependent cell lysis and apoptosis. B-cell depletion is believed to disrupt the many B-cell functions that contribute to the pathogenesis of RA. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of RTX an anti-CD20 B cell depleting monoclonal antibody in combination with methotrexate (MTX),in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who experienced an inadequate response to one or more TNF antagonists and had active disease despite ongoing treatment with MTX and a TNF inhibitor. ACR responses in RTX treated patients were superior to placebo. The primary end point was the proportion of patients in each group that achieved an ACR20 response at Week 24. Secondary endpoints included ACR50 and ACR70 responses, changes in Disease Activity Score (DAS28), and EULAR response

All formsspondyloarthropaties are uniteded with HLA-B27 antigen's in 70-100% in dependences of form illneses and so ethenic and eugenic qualifications. Consider that some Gram-negative bacteriums can have place in pathogenesis of spondyloarthropaties. Explored are 24 patients(15 men and 9 women) with seronegative spondyloarthropaties. Absence of
bacteriums which besides other factors inculpate for pathogenesis seronegative spondyloarthropaties in explored materials,
points to need for proving their antigens at synovium woof or anti-bodies in serum toward specific antigens.

Beside great improvement in diagnostical ant therapeutic aproach in curement of brain tumors, gliomas still have
bad prognosis. Better results could be obtained only in early tumor discavery. Alpha pheto protein (AFP) and carcinoembrionic antigen (CEA) are markers specific for certain carcinomas (hepatocelular, nonseminated testicular, colorectal). Thieir specifity for gliomas still has not been stated. The aim of tis study was to determine tissue or sera levels of AFP, and CEAin experimentaly induced gliomas, and teir poential use in human gliomas diagnosis. For analyses , tissue supernatant homogenate C6 of rat glioma and sera were used during different phases of development (days 0,7,14,21 and 31). Tumor markers were also determened as well as in tissue of human brain tumors (two anaplastic astrocitomas an one glioblastoma). Techique applied was immunoenzyme type Mein method. Obtained results showed no signs of AFPeither in sera, or in rat brain tissue or human glioma tissue. CEA however, showed statisticlly, important specifity, for glioma tissue. During tumorgenesis tissue concentracion of CEA showed statisticly higher levels in comparasion with controls , starting from day 7, reachin peak of tumorgenesis on day 21, (p < 0.001). CEAwas not detectable in control animal group sera, and also during the period of tumor development. CEA concentracion obtained from animal brain were similar to those in human
brain tissue tumors. Further investigation need to be caried out, in order to determine the potential role of this marker in
diagnosis and treatment establishment course.
