OCULAR CHANGES OCULAR CHANGES AT SERONEGA SERONEGATIVE ARTHROPATHY

Seronegative arthropathy represents group of rheumatic diseases which affects younger patients, more often male. Ocular findings are numerous such as conjunctivitis, iridocyclitis, and they are a part of extraarticular clinical manifestations. Acute anterior uveitis, as most common ocular manifestation, could be a sole or associated morbidity condition at the forme of systemic diseases.

EXHUMATION OFMASSIVE GRAVES AND SINGLE GRAVES ON THE TERRITORYOFKOSOVO AND METOHIJA(2001-2004)

Identification of victims during war and post war conflicts means for The Republic of Serbia the most important professional, scientific and ethical investigation. Before the process of identification forensics do the exhumation, very important part of process of which depends successful identification. On the Kosovo and Metohija, from 2001 till 2004. forensics did exhumation in some massive graves and in many single graves. Experiences of experts proove that the process of exhumation is very important becouse in that first phase collecting of evidence through forensic investigations have made “disappeared” victims “visible”, empowered survivors, corrected the historical records, and exposed cover-ups. Through forensic investigations including the identification of all injuries on the dead bodies, we faced with the marks and circumstances which followed the death under existing conditions on Kosovo and Metohija. Forensics promotes democratization and rule of law.

NEW THERAPEUTIC APPROACH FOR TREATMENT AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (AMD)

Exudative age-related macular degeneration is leading cause of irreversible vision loss in developed countries. Subfoveal localisation of choroidal neovascular membrane is the most difficult form for treatment. At the last three years, the new group of agens well-known as anti-VEGF agens was approved for treatment of exudative AMD. In that purpose, intravitreally administrated agens is recommended. Efficacy and safety of anti-VEGF agens were proved in short-time follow up period.

TYPE OF DIABETIC MACULOPATHY IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Diabetic retinopathy, particularly diabetic maculopathy, are leading cause of visual loss in the world.Purpose: to estimate type of diabetic maculopathy in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Method: hospital based study. 118 patients with diabetic retinopathy underwent complete ophthalmologic examination ( mean age 58,1 years, male 78, female 40; 7% were diabetes type 1 patients; 46% had nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and 54% had proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Results: 88 patients (74% of all) had diabetic maculopathy. The most common type of diabetic maculopathy was diffuse (60% of all patients ), afterward focal (33% patients) ischemic maculopathy (both with PDR) had two patients (3%) and five patients had mixtus (7%) . Conclusions: diffuse diabetic maculopathy is the most common type of maculopathy both in NPDR and PDR

CHARACTERISTICS OF ALCOHOLISED DRIVERS BASED ON ESTABLISHED ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION IN EXHALED AIR

This research has been done on a sample of 4211 drivers, from which 3886 ( 92,28%) were put in examination for plus measuring alcohol concentration in exhaled air, that is, breath testing with breathalyser type Alcotest® 7410 RS, while 297 of examined people, besides breath testing were put through blood sample analysis, applying ADH enzyme's method. Both sexes were covered in this examination, and they were at the age from 16 to 66, classified according to the clinical phase alcohol taken. Results: Most of the alcoholic drivers were men. The greatest number (94,9% from 4211) didn't participate in a traffic accidents (TA), 3,8% were participants in TA with material damage, and in 1,2% of cases were TA with injuring some of the participants, while in just 4 cases (0,1%) came to mortal injuring participants. The highest number of police controls were registrated on Saturdays, in Summer months, in time from 00:00 to 03:59 hours. Average age of the examined people were 32,5 years old (SD = 0,871), and the greatest number of the examined in this analysed sample belongs to age group from 21 to 30 (1748, that is, 41,51% from 4211). The greatest number of drivers (51,3%) were in clinical phase of mild intoxication. Applying three factor's ANOVA statistical method with one set factor (with part of a day in a month) it is established that arising traffic accidents (TA) depends solely from clinical phase of intoxication. Obtained results taken from breath testing are compared with results received from determinating Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) applying enzym's ADH method. Very high coefficient of correlation is established from 0,95 (r 0,198, p>0,0006). In the observed period falling trend of alcoholic drivers is recorded. We can note constant numerical domination of age group of 21 to 30. Driving drunken is typical characteristic for male population. In group of professional drivers it's extremely rare steering a vehicle in alcoholic condition. It is detected that in most cases of TA participants were in mild or medium state of intoxication, what indicates to a major accidental significance precisely these degrees of intoxication

VISUALACUITY IN THE PATIENTS WITH TERMINAL RENAL INSUFICIENCY

Visual acuity in the patients who suffered from end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) treatment is essential prerequisite of good life quality. PURPOSE: to evaluate the prevalence and causes of visual impairment at the patients on HD. METHOD: 71 patients on HD were assessed with this study. The main outcomes were best corrected visual acuity and primary cause of visual impairment. RESULTS: statistical significance obtained for the followed refraction errors: 42 % of patients had hyperopia (p<0.000; 95% CI 0.36-0.48) and 15% of them myopia (p=0.030; 95% CI 0.11-0.19) as well as low vision (amblyopia) at 6% (p=0.024; 95%CI 0.03-0.09). CONCLUSION: it's necessarily to provide regular monitoring of all patients on HD. Prevalence of refractive errors and visual impairment is more often among patients on HD then on general population

SPECIFIC OCULAR FINDINGS ATPATIENTS ON DIALYSIS

Ocular changes at the patients on dialysis are numerous but unique,too. They are caused by primary end-stage renal disease, influence of dialysing itself and regular co-morbid condition. Purpose of this study is to indicate specific ocular finding among patients who are on dialysis. This prospective study assessed 81 patients on regular, chronic dialysis. They underwent complete ophthalmologic examination. The most common findings were the following: conjunctival calcification (53 eyes), cataract (43 eyes) and retinal microangio-pathies(atherosclerotic, hypertensive and occlusive-in total 168 eyes). All findings mentioned above were statistically significant (p<0. 001) regarding to normal population. Ophthalmologist must be familiar with those abnormalities what is necessary for pointing out on special systemic co-morbid condition at the patients on dialysis.

EPIDMIOLOGY OF MECHANICAL EYE INJURES WITH INDICATION TO BE HOSPITALISED

In average 2% cases cause of blindness are mechanical injuries of the eye. This retrospective study was conducted in a 6 years period (from 1990 to 1995). Regarding to demographic data (74% were male with domination of children up to 6 years old of among age structure 151 patients, or 23%;The most numerous were pupils and students (247 or 37%).1% of patient were injured both eyes in the same time. The most common cause of eye trauma was wood (28%) and during the playing time (48%) and at home (27%). At 25 patients evisceration and enucleation were performed. Visual acuity was satisfied or good at 52% patients at the reception but on admission result was better: 68%

THE ROLE OF ANTROPOLOGISTS IN FORENSIC INVESTIGATIONS EXHUMED DEAD BODIES IN KOSOVO AND METOHIA FROM 2001. to 2004.

Very important role in the forensic investigation of mass graves takes forensic anthropology. Anthropologists take
part during the exhumation and later through the investigation and identification procedures. Forensic investigations of
mass graves in Kosovo and Metohija are going on. In this paper we observe all cases that were exhumed and identified during 2001., 2002., 2003. till the 1. 05 2004. In this time 280 dead bodies were exhumed and forensic team did autopsies, but
111 dead bodies were identified. Our aim was to analyze anthropological measurments (gender, age and stature) and compare them with the real state on identified dead bodies. Scientifics all over the world made the record of the very good results
of anthropology work. After our investigation we can say that anthropology is very valuable during the exhumation of mass
graves.
