CONTRIBUTION OF THE URGENT SURGERY CENTER "SIMONIDA" IN CUREING POPULATION OF SERBIAN ENCLAVES IN KOSOVO AND METOHIA

The urgent surgery center “Simonida” in Gra~anica was built by humanitarian organization “Doctors of the World” from Greece with donation of Ministry of Foreign affairs of Greece and Greek institute for mother and child. He started working in march 2000. Even though, it has a small capacity of 15 beds, it represent a very important part in health care for the people Serbian enclaves in Kosovo and Metohia. During 2002. 15133 patients were examined in this hospitaly. 811 patient were hospitalized, and 98 of them were operated. Serbian doctors performed the firs surgery 11.07.2002. when the patient S.S. 46 years old was operated due to inguinal hernia on left side. In the urgent surgery center 72 (73,47%) male patients and 26 (26,53%) female patients. Were operated 64 (65,31%) adults patients and 34 (34,69%) children were operated. In this hospital 46 patients for inguinal hernia, 14 patients for acuta appendicitis, 8 for inflammation of gall, 4 for testis retency, 4 for pilonoidal sinus, 3 for higrom, and 22 patients with other diseased were operated. Total anestesy used with 68 (69,63%), spinalis with 22 (22,45%) and local with 8 (8,16%) patients. Total anestesy was used with 36 adulta patients and with 32 children patients.

FEBRILE NON-HEMOLITIC TRANSFUSION REACTION

Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) is the most common adverse effect of blood transfusion. FNHTR is usually immune mediated due to the reaction of white cells antibodies in the recipient's plasma with the leukocytes contanied in the transfused blood components. In some patients, especially recipients transfused with platelets, cytokines are implicated in this reaction. The differential diagnosis may be difficult, especially when co-morbid disorders such as infection or malignancy, and certain treatments, may cause a similar spectrum of symptoms. In differential diagnosis, acute haemolytic transfusion reaction, bacterialy contaminated blood products and transfusion associated lung injury must be exlcuded. Repeated severe FNHTRs necessitate leucocyte depletion of blood components.

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT CANCER

Until sixties of twenty centuries, it was little now abaot cancer. It was well-know than chemicals , radiation, onko viruses, can to provoke cancer.Untill seventies it was clear than cancer is not infection or inborn sicness.Than eighties discovering onko-gens (gens normal indebted for growth of cell who is mute. Understad is than cancer cell could be continue growth, and they must have onko gen ON and cancer supresor OFF. Discover so and fenomena of apoptosissuicide cell what something wrong begin.For the time of nineties thay are discover reasons of apoptosis. The main one is TP53 gen on short part of hromosoma 17, with 1179 letter. It's understand than cancer begining with muting gens what is reason of growth, continuing with muting gens what suprim growing and finish with fold of last defence muting gen TP53.In therapy of cancer is searcing for agenc who will stimulate apoptosis.Big step what genetics do on understanding cancer give us reall chance to beat cancer.

THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF STUDIES OF MEDICAL FACULTY PRIŠTINA ABOUT NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIOUS

Nosocomial infectious (NI) are very big problem nowdays. The aim of this was to investigate the level of knowledge of medicial students of University Pristina about NI and to compare the knowledge level of preclinical with knowledge level of clinical students about NI. Cross-sectional study was conducte in May 2001. The instrument of survey was questionnaire with 28 questions wich were distributed to all third-year (preclinical) students and to all fifth-year (clinical) students and to all fifth-year (clinical) students at the Medical Faculty Pristina. The majority of third-year students (78,2%) and fifth-year students (91,1%) knew the definition of NI and their reservoirs (100.0%). The fifth-year students gave correct answers, statisticaly significant, more frequently (X} =4.62; df=1, p<0.05). The majority of students (89,1% of third-year and 96,4% of fifth-year students) knew that NI could be prevented, but only 14,5% of third-year and 25% of fifth-year students considered handwashing the basic measure for prevention, although there is no statisticaly significant difference between third-year students (X' =2.62; df=1, p>0.05). Around 98% students percepted the risk of NI for medical staff. Around 80% of students estimated that the aditional lectures about NI are needed during the studies. The fifth-year students more frequently showed higher level of knowledge about multidrug-resistant bacteria (X* =17.77; df=1, p<0.01).

Approximately 70% of third-year students gained knowledge about NI from sources other than lectures, but 75% of fifth-year students gained that knowledge from lectures in epydemiology. Additional information about NI, especially about univesal precution, is needen for medical students. Tt is very important to appropriately organise the studies with more practical work in prevention of NI. The emphasise should be put on health edecation in order to increase knowledge about NI, general hygienic measures encouraging handwashing and correct use proper dezinfectans in order to control the hospital environment.

ANALYSIS OF WORK OF THE ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY SECTION WITHIN THE HEALTH CENTER IN ZUBIN POTOK IN EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS FROM 1999-2002.

The level of the health protection determines the living standard of people in that area. If the standard is higher the health protection is on a higher level. Extraordinary circumstances on the territory of Kosova and Metohia in the period of th almost whole last decade of 20 century caused much lower of health protection. It happened a spontaneous mobilisation of all factors of normal life in this area, causing an improvement in this matter. First public health workers made some changes and permitted their work with a great enthusiasm. Social-political structure of this area connected humanitarian organizations while Serbian population showed a strong determination to struggle with is strength for the existence in this area. Therefore the lowest level of the health protection in 1999 started gradually to improve. By opening new section within the Health Center in Zubin Potok (orthopedic and neurological) the scope of the health protection of the people got more extended. Orthopedic section opened an X-ray room where we X-rayed injures and sickness of the locomotor systems. In the period 1999-2002. we checked 8692 sick people (42,65% workers, 49,30% housewives and pensioners and 8.30% children). However, we did 1404 surgery operation. We took out 82 benign tumors, 64 objects and 59 skin excision (removal of para-site-ixodes ricini). Nevertheless, we put 2039 bandages where injures and sickness of locomotor systems occurred. During the last 3.5 years we did 301 X-ray photos. Gradual improvement of the standard of people, improvement of the social-political situation and further strong motivation of the population to stay in this area, contributing to better medical treatment and healing of sick people. It is contributing to the existence of the Serbian population in this area.

PLACE OF SPECIFIC IMMUNOTHERAPY IN ALERGIC DISEASES TREATMENT

Specific immunotherapy (SIT) has been used for almost a century but its form of administration is still a matter of
debate. At present curative SIThas only demonstrated its efficiancy, under the conditions that an appropriate allergen extract
is used, and patients are careffuly selected. However, many alergic patients likely to respond to immunotherapy are not
treated specificaly, due to the prevaling opinion that immunotherapy is ineffective, and has more uneffectable side effects
than drug treatment. Direct comparison of efficiancy between immunotherapy and drugs is problematic as this implies a
comparison between a treatment aiming at interfering with the pathophysiological mechanisms of the alergic inflammation
with potential for long term effect, or even cure (immunotherapy), and a treatment abolishing symptoms whi-le being
administered, but without long term preventive capacity (drugs). In most patients the situation is not an either but ra-ther
both and. The advantages of combinig immunotherapy and drugs are related to a higher likelihood of increasing effi-ciancy,
reducing side effects, and improving patient compliance by combining a treatment having an immediate effect with one
functioning more slowly

ACTIVITIES OF THE HEALTH CENTER ZUBIN POTOK IN HEALTH PROTECTION OF THE POPULATION FROM 1999-2000.

Certainly the level of the health protection of the population is in a direct connection with the living standard of people. Life and work of all the people in Zubin Potok municipality, as well giving the health help, became more difficult after 1999. It is because of the exile of non-Albanian population from teritory of Kosovo and Metohia. The most difficult problem, taking care of sick people, results from the impossibility of the normal traffic communication with Priština and Kosovska Mitrovica, where the Main Health Centers are located. More over, the irregular supplying with medicines, difficult transportation of patients, as well the downsizing of mean in this area, made the workers of Health center in Zubin Potok to make some changes in order to provide an adequate health protection for more than 10000 people in this area.
