During the armed conflict in Kosovo and Metohija, and after it, were killed more than 5 000 people, and according to the International Red Cross Committee in March 2001, 3,338 people were still missing. Until the conclusion of this study, the number of missing persons in Kosovo and Metohia for which the trail is about 1700. This list includes people from all ethnic communities. The primary objective of the forensic investigation is to determine the identity of the missing persons and after that their remains returne to the families, in accordance with Geneva protocols. Experts post-mortem examination after the exhumation determine the cause and manner of death, which indicates a violation of human rights and war crimes.Conclusion. We are facing with reasonable fear that with the passage of time, less interest will be devoted to this issue and the activities on finding and identifying missing persons will completely stop.

Determination of direction of car impact on pedestrian is complex interdisciplinary biomechanical analysis, which sintetize the work of legal medicine and traffic engineering professions. Injury characteristics depends on constitution and position of pedestrian, and type of passenger car. There are different mechanisms of injury arising from sum of effect of complex mechanical forces, from motion and impact on human body. Results are showing that new generation car, with aerodinamic wedge front, favorize occurrence of hyperextensive injuries, while speed presents dominant factor of intensity of injuries. In modern traffic conditions, we found multiple reduction of number of deaths of pedestrians in road traffic accidents.

After the armed conflicts throughout the nineties of the twentieth century occurred in former Yugoslavia, identification of war victims is a challenging task. This paper gives a detailed description of exhumed remains identification process. One of the study objectives has been a comparison between DNA results and traditional forensic identification methods. This paper deals with the identification of human remains that were exhumed in Kosovo and Metohia in the period 2001-2012, belonging to Serbs and other non-Albanian ethnic communities (Montenegrins, Bosniaks, Roma, Gorani, and others), as well as much lower number of Albanians who were also killed during the war and post-war period.The experience of this process and the experience of other countries show that there is a need to organize appropriate services for identification of human remains in Serbia, capable to react effectively in case of mass disaster.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic multisistemic disease of an unknown cause characterised by persistens inflammatory synovitis which results in destruction cartilage and bone erosions. RA is a systemic disease with various out of joint manifestations of different clinical importance, among which rheumatoid knots, rheumatoid vasculitis, pleuropulmonal and ophthalmological manifestations are the most prominent ones. The most frequent changes of the eye in patients with RA are keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), episcleritis and scleritis and ulcerous keratitis. Out of 70 examined patients, 52 (74.3%) are female, and 18 (25.7%) of male sex (ratio 4:1), average age 56.47. In 18 (25.71%) RA diseased patients eye changes found are as folows: secondary Sjögren syndrom, that is keratoconjunctvitis sicca in 18.57%, only in female patients, episcleritis nodosa and scleritis in 4.29%; 2.86% in male and 1.43% female patients and ulcerous keratitis in 2.86% RA diseased patients. 

Ocular contusion followed by hyphema is very common ophthalmologic problem. Aim: to determinate basic epidemiologic characteristics, comorbidity of other ocular findings, as well as complications associated with different grade of hyphema. Method: 55 patients with hyphema and ocular contusion were examinated. Results. Male had hyphema almost four times more often then women (80%:20&); workers (34.5%), afterward pensioners (20%) and pupils (18.2%) were the most often injured. The most frequent causes were the wood (43.6%), stone (10.9%) and vegetable foreign body (9.1%), The first grade of hyphema was demonstrated at 30 patients (54.5%), the second at 16 (29.1%), the third at 6 (10.9%) and the fourth at 3 (5.5%). The most frequent associated ocular findings regarding to segments were the following : haematoma palpebrarum, subconjunctival hemorrhage, erosio corneae and haemophthalmus. Secondary glaucoma was the most common ocular complication and it was finding at one patient with the first stage of hyphema but at all patients with the fourth grade of hyphema. Conclusion: grade of hyphema is directly proportional with a grade of ocular complications and frequency of associated ocular findings.

Chemical injuries of the eye i.e. causoma means 4% up to 10% of all ocular trauma cases. Purpose: to determinate basic socio-epidemiologic characteristics of patients who has been hospitalized due to causoma. Method: prospective case control study carried on 54 patients who havå been treated at Department of Ophthalmology Health Center K.Mitrovica and Clinic of Eye Disease in Nis. Results: in total, 40 male and 14 women were injured (mean age 41.8 years). The bricklayers, painters and construction-workers are the most frequent injured. Injuries caused by alkalis were significant prevailing in relation to those caused by acids (64.8% vs. 35.2). Monocular causoma were almost twice more frequent. Accident as a manner of injury was in 96.3% of all cases. Men were injured by caustic lime and sulphuric acid while women were injured by sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid and acetate acid. More serious clinical appearance had a patients with injuries caused by explosion of accumulator because of associated mechanical injuries of the eye.

Any kind of ocular lens opacification is well known as cataract. Most cataracts are age-related, so called senile cataract. Cataractogenesis as process involves either pathological and natural aging processes. Chronical oxidative stress is considered as primary factor in age-related cataractogenesis. In this study we measured concentration of lipid hydroperoxides, sulfhydril groups (SH) and entire antioxidative capacity,as well as ocular superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in 11 subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 and cataract and in 39 nondiabetic subjects with senile cataract. All patients underwent complete ophthalmological examination before they were surgically treated by phacoemulsifications. 0 During the intervention, aqueous sample in volume 0,2 was aspirated and refrigerated in -20 C and preparated for further biochemical analysis. Parameters of antioxidative power in diabetic subjects with cataract have decreased values (sulfhydril groups and antioxidative potential - FRAP test) in aqueous while one of lipid peroxidation product has increased value (lipid hyperoxide). Aqueous catalase activity in subjects with diabetes and senile cataract is remarkably higher compared with nondiabetic subjects (p<0.0.5). Oxydative stress and antioxidative capacity are well known risk factor in cataractogenesis but in DM 2 patients, oxydative stress is more intensive than in control group.

The objective was to determine the type of venom poisoning causes accidental, sex, age, occupation, place where the poisoning and seasonal distribution. The work was carried out comparative analysis of accidental poisoning in Belgrade in two five-year period 1965th to 1969. and since 2000. by 2004. year. The structure accidental poisoning in the first mentioned period dominated by gas poisoning (CO) and alcohol, and in the second period, poisoning psychoactive substances. In both the five-year period were more likely to be poisoned males. In the first study period, were often poisoned persons older age groups, while in the second period there was a shift to younger age groups. Between 1965 and 1969 and were significantly more frequent poisoning among farmers compared to the period 2000-2004, when they are significantly more common poisoning in students and the unemployed. The highest percentage of poisoned in both investigated period, was found in our own home with no signs of life. Accidental poisoning occurred more frequently in the winter months in the first study period, while in the second period seasonality is not expressed.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic rheumatoid inflammation with characteristic synovitis of sacroiliac joints and vertebrae of spinal column and fewer coxofemoral and glenohumeral and periferal joints. The disease is of an unknown etiology and shows strong correlation with histocompatibile antigene HLA-B27 wich is found in 90% AS diseased patients. Acute anterior uveitis is the most frequent extra-articular manifestation, it can precede spondylitis and is found in at least 20% AS diseased patients. Acute anterior uveitis is mostly bilateral, with recidives and in inadequate treatments results in complicate cataract and secondary glaucoma. Out of 41 patients with ankylosing spondylitis 36 (87.8%) is of male , and 5 (12.1%) female sex (ratio 9:1). The youngest patient was 25 and the oldest 69 years of age, average age of the diseased was 38.45. Acute anterior uvetis is found in 11, that is 26.8% diseased patients. The length of uveitis is approximately 28+/- 10 days. In 7 patients (63.64%) AAU is found in both eyes. Out of 11 patients with with AAU, 3 patients (27.27%) had more than first attack,7 (63.64%) had 1-5 recidives, and only 1 patient had more than 5 recidives. The most frequent type of exudation is serofibrose (77.78%), then follows fibropurulent-hypopyon (16.67%) and serose (5.55%). Out of 18 eyes, in 14 (77.78%) back synechies were formed. However, these synechies are in most cases broken by the use adequate therapy.
