Analysis of premature births for the period from 2009. to 2013. in Health Center Kosovska Mitrovica

Delivery before 37th week of gestation is defined as preterm, independently of body mass of babies, according to the World Health Organization. Premature birth is the current problem in the world due to the high risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality and incompletely clear etiology. In our country the frequency of preterm delivery is 6%. We have retrospectively analyzed early deliveries in Health Center Kosovska Mitrovica in the period from 2009 to 2013. In this five-year period, there were totaly 3398 deliveries, of which 148 or 4.35 % were preterm delivery. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of premature birth in the five-year period in relation to: the total number of births in a given period, the age of the patients, the manner of completion of delivery, gestational week of pregnancy, parity and the most common causes that led to the PTP. In the analysis we have included the body weight and Apgar score of premature infants. We have used protocols of births, maternal history of disease, neonatal protocols and lists of newborns. Most of them were multiparas (41.2 %),56.7 % of pregnant women were aged of 21-30 years and pregnancy in 79.9 % of cases ended with 33 to 37 ng. Vaginal deliveries were completed in 84.4% of premature births, and caesarean in 15.6%. Twin pregnancies with preterm deliveries were represented in 10.2%. The most common weight of premature infants ranged from 2000 to 2500 grams (48.6 %). The most common causes that led to the PTP were PPROM (22.9 %), unknown causes (27. 1 %), multiple pregnancy (18.2 %), genital infection (8.7 %), cervical incompetence (6.7 %), IUGR (5.4%), PIH (4.2%), placental abruption and placenta previa (2.1 %) and other (4.7%) .

CEPHALOSPORINS AND NEPHROTOXICITY

Cephalosporins are bactericidal antibiotics that are active against a wide variety of Gram(+) and Gram(-) aerobic bacteria, along with a few anaerobic species. Adverse effects of cephalosporins are uncommon and reversible. Cefalotin and cefaloridine exhibit a nephrotoxic effect and might cause renal tubule necrosis. No data about the nephrotoxicity of cefotaxime and ceftriaxone has been presented in literature so far. When cephalosporins are applied via intramuscular injection a local reaction is possible, whereas with IV administration thrombophlebitis develops in about 5% of all cases. Hypersensitivity reactions, as well as some hematological disorders (thrombocytosis, leukopenia, neutropenia) might also occur. Cephalosporins were found to sometimes cause an augmentation of transaminase (AST, ALT), alkaline phosphatase, and, less frequently, bilirubin levels, too. The goal of this study was to evaluate the creatinine values in the serum of patients hospitalised in Kosovska Mitrovica Health Centre. The values were determined before, within and after 7 days of cephalosporin administration (cefotaxime 2x1000mg IM; ceftriaxone 2x1000mg IV). Data concerning certain hematological and biochemical variables will be presented as well. Creatinine levels were measured by the Jaffe reaction method. Both cefotaxime and ceftriaxone yielded a statistically significant increase of the serum creatinine values. As these cephalosporins do not show a nephrotoxic effect, the increase can be explained by the interference of sodium picramate, a byproduct of the Jaffe reaction which is produced regardless of whether the process is manual or automated.

COMPRESSIVE OSTEOSYNTHESIS AND BONE OSTEOPLASTICS AS METHODS IN TREATMENT OF BONES PSEUDOARTHROSIS

The pseudoarthrosis is a pathological state of the bone when the refracted bone fragments are not connected by bone callus. The causes for the occurrence of the pseudoarthrosis may be general and lokal.In treatment we were using two methods: the bone plastic and osteosynthesis and compression osteosynthesis by Ilizarov. The aim of this work is the analysis of patients with pseudoarthrosis and results of treatment. The study included 29 patients treated for the past ten years the Department of Orthopedics Health Center Z.C.Kosovska Mitrovica.The most frequently pseudoarthrosis were in humerusu 6 (21%), ulna 6 (21%) and skafoidne bone 6 (21%). The pseudoarthrosis in tibia was treated in 4 (14%) patients, in the femur 3 (10%) patients. 2 (7%) of the patients were operated with diagnosis the medial-maleolus pseudoarthrosis of the tibia fractures and 1 (3%) patient were operated with diagnosis the maleolus pseudoarthrosis of the fibula and of the radius.We were using the treatment methods osteoplastic and osteosynthesis for 28 (97%) patients and one patient was treated with the device by Ilizarov method. Patients were monitored by the clinical way, by the radiographic way ,by laboratory way and by the functional way The average time of the monitoring was ten months .The average time of the healing was the five months. We noticed the one complications only, a lesion of the radius, which is repaired. The pseudoarthrosis is not common, in our material it is 4% of the total number of the operated patients.The most frequently pseudoarthrosis was on humerous 21% (6 patients). By applying the compressive osteosynthesis methods and osteoplastic method we have achieved the completely curring in 89% (26 operated patients).

THE FRACTURES OF THE LOWER LEG AND HEALTHING THE FRACTURES WITH EXSTERNAL FIKSATER BY MITKOVICH USING THE CLOSED

The fractures of the tibia are mainly the fractures of the long bones. In the department of the orthopedic in Kosovska Mitrovica, 45 of patient with fracture of the lower leg had been treated with using the closed method. It had been the linear fractures in the 84% of the treated cases.The most number of the patients were treated in the hospital for 5 days. In our healing we are noticed the folowed complications in the treated patients: the major infections around the pin were in the 4% of the treated patients (2 patients),the fat embolism were in the 2% of the treated patients (1 patient),the pseudoarthrosis were in the 4% of the treated patients (2 patients). Aplication the extrafocal fixat r by Mitkovich using the closed method made possible that the fracture became stable in fast and simply way with the minnor invasion at the soft tissues and with this are made the conditions for splicing of the fractures.

THЕ INFLUENCE OF EXTERNAL FIXATION TYP MITKOVIC ON LOWER LIMB`S POSTOPERATIVE EARLY RECOVERNG FUNCTIONALITY IN PATIENTS WITH FEMORALAND TIBIAL SHAFT FRACTURES

The tibial and femoral shaft fractures representing prototyp in orthopedic traumatology and great problem for resolving. The speed of limb recovering functionality after surgery is important, and often desicisive for result of treatment. Place of external fixation (EF) in surgical treatment of femurs in DCOS (damage control orthopedic surgery), cominutions of femoral shaft and open fractures, rarely as definitive method. EF in treatment of tibial shaft fractures today take a place as a definitive method like intramedulary nailing. On department of orthopedic surgery in HC Kosovska Mitrovica we examined quality of life and speed of lower limb recovering functionality on 70 patients treated with EF tip Mitkovic as a definitive curative method. The time of achieving early function of lower limbs we divided on 4 levels, and writed time when patients achieved level 3 and 4. Also this timing we compared with middle time of healing tibial or femoral shaft fractures (golden standard) .We examined quality of life with EuroQol 5D evaluation system. 90% of our patient in period 8 to 12 weeks achieved level 3 and 4. There statisticaly significant diference between examined gropu and golden standard, p<0,05. We concluded that EF tip Mitkovic as definiyive curative method improved the speed of lower limbs recovering functionality. Quality of life is very high, 84 points. The number of complications where expected and in proportion with literatures data.
