DAMAGE CONTROL U TRAUMATOLOGIJI
Sveži prelomi u ortopedskoj hirurgiji i traumatologiji, dovode do hemodinamske nestabilnosti celokupnog organizma. Kod otvorenih preloma, stepen
hemodinamske nestabilnosti organizma je značajno veći. Prioritet u lečenju svežih preloma ima DAMAGE CONTROL IN ORTHOPEDIC (DCO). DCO je
invazivna procedura koja ima ulogu kako u stabilizaciji preloma, tako i u kontroli krvarenja. Prelomi dugih kostiju kao i prelom karlice su apsolutna
indikacija za DCO. Slobodno možemo reći da ova procedura prestavlja prioritet u lečenju svežih preloma. Procedura je individualizovana u zavisnosti
od težine povrede kao i hemodinamskog statusa povređenog pacijenta. U ortopedskoj hirurgiji i traumatologiji kao standardna procedura u DCO
koristi se spoljašnji fiksator po Mitkoviću. Ortopedski hirurzi moraju biti jako prisebni i obazrivi kod pregledapacijenata sa politraumom i da
prepoznaju tkzv. trougao smrti. Trougao smrti čine: acidoza, hipotermija i koagulopatija. Svaka karika je medjusobno povezana jedna sa drugom
dovode do ireverzibilnih promena u organizmu što za posledicu ima smrtni ishod. DCO se sprovodi u tri faze: 1) podrazumeva kontrolu kvarenja,
smanjenje kontaminacija bakterijama, kao i privremenu fiksaciju preloma. Sve ovo je neophodno uraditi u roku od 1-2h.; 2) obuhvata stabilizaciju
vitalnih parametara u JIN-e kao i reanimacija pacijenta ordiniranjem neophodne terapije, krvi i krvnih derivata.; 3) podrazumeva definitivna metoda
lečenja u smislu nastavka lečenja preloma spoljasnjim fiksatorom ili konverzija u neku drugu metodu lečenja.

TRANSPOZICIJA TETIVE EKSTENZOR INDICIS PROPRIJUS ZA EKSENZOR POLICIS LONGUS U CILJU REKONSTRUKCIJE EKSTENZIJE PALCA - PRIKAZ SLUČAJA
Ruptura potkožne tetive ekstenzora policis longusa (EPL) je jedna od najčešćih povreda tetiva ekstenzora šake. Ova vrsta povrede može biti posledica
trauma ručnog zgloba. Češće se javlja kao posledica degenerativne ili inflamatorne bolesti. Ponekad se to dešava bez predisponirajućeg stanja, zbog
kontinuiranih pokreta savijanja i opružanja palca šake.
Ruptura tetive EPL-a se obično dešava u predelu Listerove kvrge gde su trenja najveća. Kontinuirano ponavljanje mikrotrauma može da uzrokuje
rupturu. Engkvist i Lundborg [1] su postavili hipotezu o patogenezi mehanizama ove povrede. Smatrali su da nakon trauma ili zapaljenja formiran
hematom unutar omotača tetive dovodi do povećanja pritiska u neelastičnom prostoru. Povećanje pritiska može izazvati promene u snabdevanju krvi i
može dovesti do nekroze i rupture struktura tetiva. Nakon prekida kontinuiteta tetive EPL-a, retrakcija proksimalnog okrajka je praćena
degenerativnim procesima koji ugrožavaju direktnu suturu.
Predloženi su mnogi tretmani, artrodeza interfalangealnog (IP) zgloba palca ili transpozicija tetive ekstenzor indicis proprius (EIP) koju je razvio
Mensch 1925. god. [1].
Transpozicija tetive šake je hirurška procedura која uključuje repozicioniranje funkcionalne tetive како bi se obnovila funkcija oštećene tetive šake.
Ova operacija ima za cilj da vrati pokret, funkciju i snagu šake.
U ovom radu prenosimo naše iskustvo u lečenja traumatske rupture tetive EPL-a metodom transpozicije tetive EIP-a. Opisujemo operativnu tehniku
transfera tetive EIP-a na tetivu EPL.
Ključne reči: trasnpozicija tetive, ekstenzor policis longus, ekstenzor indicis proprius, funkcija.

INFORMISANOST, UPOTREBA I STAVOVI STUDENATA MEDICINE O KOGNITIVNIM POJAČIVAČIMA
Uvod: Kognitivni pojačivači (KP) poboljšavaju kognitivne funkcije putem neurotransmitera CNS-a. Čine raznorodnu grupu supstanci koje se
svakodnevno uzimaju kao napici nalik kafi, biljni lekovi i dijetetski suplementi (“meki pojačivači”) ili lekovi koji se koriste u lečenju bolesti
(nootropici). Upotreba i zloupotreba su česte u studentskoj populaciji sa brojnim etičkim pitanjima.
Cilj: Utvrđivanje informisanosti studenata medicine, njihovih stavova o upotrebi i stepenu rizika od neželjenog delovanja KP, na osnovu pretpostavke
da je upotreba ovih supstanci redovna.
Materijal I metode: Studija preseka je sprovedena po tipu anonimnog anketnog istraživanja na Medicinskom fakultetu Priština sa privremenim
sedištem u Kosovskoj Mitrovici. U ispitivanju su dobrovoljno učestvovali studenti medicine prve tri godine integrisanih studija koji nisu položili ispit iz
predmeta Farmakologija sa toksikologijom. Upitnik je obuhvatio socio-demografske podatke, podatke o koncentraciji i navikama u učenju, stepen
informisanosti, procenu upotrebe i procenu rizika korišćenja KP. Stratifikacija uzorka je izvršena prema polu studenata, a Likert-ova skala je poslužila
za rangiranje stavova ispitanika.
Rezultati: Od ukupnog broja anketiranih (n=249) u konačnu statističku analizu podataka uključeno je 169 anketnih upitnika (M 32,5 %, Ž 67,5%).
Najviše studenata je bilo sa druge godine studija (40%), dok je najviše studentkinja bilo sa prve godine (48,2%). Uočena je statistički značajna razlika
između ispitivanih grupa u odnosu na godinu studiranja (p=0,009). Informacije o KP su novina za 40,2% ispitanika (M 49,1%, Ž 36%). Da je o njihovoj
primeni dovoljno informisano smatra 23,7 % ispitanika (M 20%, Ž 25,4%). Postoji statistički značajna razlika u upotrebi internet baza za informisanje o
KP (p<0,001).Najveći broj studenata (71,6%) koristi internet za informisanje o KP, pri čemu je korišćenje internet baza bilo statistički značajno veće
kod žena u odnosu na muškarce (M 56,4 %,Ž 78,9 %; p=0,002). Više od polovine ispitanika (50,3%) koristi Mediately bazu kao pouzdanu bazu podataka o
lekovima. Od ukupnog broja studenata 40,8% upotrebljava neki od navedenih KP (M 43,6%, Ž 39,5%). Najčešći razlozi za upotrebu kod obe grupe
ispitanika su poboljšanje koncentracije (M 27,3%, Ž 28,9%) i uspešnije polaganje ispita (M 25,5%, Ž 15,8%). Oba pola najviše koriste ginko bilobu (M
29,1%, Ž 32,5%) i metilksantine (M 29,1%, Ž 17,5%). Studenti znatno češće upotrebljavaju kreatin u odnosu na studentkinje (M 20%; Ž 2,6%; p=0,003).
Obe grupe studenata su prema medijani i interkvartilnom opsegu (25-75%) uočenog rizika od neželjenih reakcija rangirale kokain (M 9,0; Ž 9,0),
metamfetamin (M 8,0; Ž 8,0) i amfetamin (M 8,0; Ž 7,0) kao najopasnije, dok je ginko biloba procenjena kao najbezbedniji KP (M 3,0; Ž 3,0).
Zaključak: Većina studenata nije dovoljno informisana o kognitivnim pojačivačima, iako ih koriste samoinicijativno, radi postizanja boljih rezultata na
studijama. Neophodno je studente uputiti na adekvatne izvore informisanja i organizovati vannastavne tribine i predavanja o bezbednosti i efikasnosti
KP pre upotrebe. U skladu sa trendovima u svetu, može se očekivati porast zloupotrebe nootropika na univerzitetima i u našoj zemlji. Smatramo da bi
trebalo ponoviti ili organizovati slično ispitivanje kroz par godina, po mogućstvu u većem obimu.
Ključne reči: kognitivni pojačivači, informisanost studenata, stavovi studenata

The impact of body weight on the secondary osification centers development and the term of closure of the anterior fontanelle in infants
Introduction: during the infant development, the organ growth is influenced by genetic factors, diet, hormones and many neuropeptides. The secondary ossification center in the hip joint begins to form around the 4th month of life. Primary dentition begins at the age of 5-6 months with the emergence of the central incisor in the maxilla. At birth, 6 fontanelles are present between the plate bones of the cranium. The largest is the anterior or large fontanelle. Objective of our research is to analyze the development of the secondary ossification center in the femoral head in relation to dentition and closure of the anterior fontanelle closure as well as influence of childrens' birth weight and current weight on these processes. Methodology: The study included 284 infants, male and female, aged 3 to 8 months. Clinical examination of the musculoskeletal system, anthropomentric measurements and ultrasonographic findings of the hip joint were performed at the Pediatric Clinic of the Clinical Hospital Center Pristina in Gracanica. Results: The development of secondary ossification centre correlated with child's age, dentition, anterior fontanelle closure, birth weight and delivery method, as well as actual body weight. Anterior fontanelle size was inversely related to age, body weight and secondary ossification. Conclusions: According to regression analysis, body weight is the only factor that has a direct and independent impact on the onset and progression of ossification process. Every additional kilogram of a child's body weight accelerates secondary ossification by 1.3-3.77 times.

Arterial hypertension in geriatric population
INTRODUCTION Chronic non-contagious diseases: heart and blood vessel diseases, malignant tumors, diabetes, obstructive pulmonary disease, injuries and poisoning, mental health disorders and others, have dominated the world and our national pathology for decades. Arterial hypertension is one of the most common diseases of the present, which affects in more than 60% of people over the age of 60, and represents a risk factor for infarction, insult, chronic heart failure, renal insufficiency, progressive atherosclerosis and dementia, indicating the importance of hypertension frequency testing in the geriatric population in our country and in the world. OBJECTIVE is to point out the specificity, the high frequency and the risk of hypertension in the geriatric population in our country and in the world. METHODS We analyzed the data and literature in the field of geriatrics, internal medicine, neurology, public health, social medicine and health statistics in the part dealing with the protection of the health of the elderly in our country and in the world. The research was conducted through the analysis of previous scientific research obtained from the literature and the search of electronic databases in accordance with the areas defined in the aim of the work. Using the analytical observational method, all necessary data on this topic were collected, recorded and analyzed. A systematic review of the literature in the researched area was carried out, with the aim of reviewing the methodological characteristics of published studies in the mentioned area. Relevant papers based on this search were collected in full text. Data were extracted from such works, analyzed and presented in this paper. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of elderly mortality, and it is believed that by removing it in people over the age of 65, the life expectancy would be prolonged for 16 years. The results of some studies show that a third of patients over the age of 65 have isolated systolic hypertension, which is a significant risk factor for apoplexy. In developed countries, the geriatric population is on the rise and reaches more than 30% of the general population, and cardiovascular disease is one of the most common diseases and causes of mortality in this population. Studies have shown that the incidence of myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular events is doubled in patients over 65 years of life with hypertension. Only two groups of diseases, heart and blood vessels diseases and malignant tumors, account for over half of all causes of death. In the Republic of Serbia, in 2021 the population aged 65 and over accounted for 21.28% of the population, while the percentage representation of very old people, over 85 years of age, is constantly increasing. Observed since 2002, more than 100,000 people die annually in Serbia from all causes of death, and almost every second resident of Serbia dies from diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The burden of diseases of the circulatory system or diseases of the heart and blood vessels is on the rise globally, and in recent years in Serbia, on average, 55% of people who have died are victims of one of the diseases from this group. The most common diagnosis within the group of diseases of the cardiovascular system is essential arterial hypertension. The most common causes of death in 2021 belong to the following groups of diseases (according to ICD-10 - International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization): Diseases of the circulatory system 41.4%; Tumors 15.1%; Diseases of the respiratory system 5.3%; Diseases of glands with internal secretion, nutrition and metabolism 2.6%. Diseases of the heart, blood vessels and malignant tumors accounted for over half (55.7%) of all causes of death in 2021 in Serbia. As many as 41.4% of all deaths were the result of dying from diseases of the circulatory system, and every sixth person who died (15.1%) was a victim of a malignant tumor. Studies have shown that in patients over 65 years of age with hypertension, the frequency of myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular events is twice as high. CONCLUSION Hypertension is very common in elderly and is a growing problem for them, their family and entire community, as it significantly affects the quality of their lives. The number of elderly in general population is increasing and a growing number of them is with hypertension. Successful prevention can significantly affect the reduction in the incidence of this disease in the population of elderly, which would certainly be one of the priority tasks in improving their health and quality of life.

Importance of postoperative pain and possibilities of prevention and treatment
The paper presents the importance of acute postoperative pain, the risk factors for its occurrence and intensity, instruments for its measurement and assessment, as well as the possibilities of prevention and treatment. The fact that post-surgical pain represents not only a subjective unpleasant experience for the patient, but also a factor that significantly contributes to complications and unfavorable outcomes of surgical treatment is well known. Despite that, postoperative pain can be seen very often. To successfully prevent and relieve pain, it is necessary to establish a possible cause-and-effect relationship between the occurrence and intensity of postoperative pain, type of surgical intervention, anesthesia technique, demographic characteristics of patients, comorbidities, chronic therapy, and family and socioeconomic factors. Besides the application of recommendations from the current guidelines and protocols for the prevention and treatment of post-surgical pain to achieve positive treatment outcomes, an individual approach to each patient and the application of multimodal analgesia techniques that include the use of different classes of analgesics, co-analgesics, and non-pharmacological measures, based on modern ERAS-protocols aimed at accelerated recovery after surgical intervention should also be employed.

Differential diagnosis distinction of nummular headache and Lichen planopilaris
Introduction: Nummular headache is a type of primary headache of chronic character, with a large number of described varieties in the clinical picture, and therefore the differential diagnostic consideration must include a large number of disorders related to changes in epicranial structures. Certain dermatological disorders can also include pain in a limited area of the scalp with itching, burning or burning sensation, such as Lichen Planopilaris. Case report: This is a report of a patient who was initially diagnosed with Lichen planopilaris, but after determining the parameters of the distinction and the necessary additional diagnostic procedures, a diagnosis of Nummular headache was made. Conclusion: In this presentation, we have presented another important differential diagnostic item and we believe that the work is a small contribution to everyday practice, but also to further research.

Lichen planus disseminatus partim vesiculosus after COVID-19 vaccine
Introduction: Lichen planus is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that can be associated with infections, drugs and vaccines. As concerning the potential triggering effect of vaccine, there is evidence a few cases of new-onset lichen planus that appeared after COVID vaccine, particularly the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. Case report: This report is a case of a newonset lichen planus triggered by the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine administration in a healthy young female. Dermatological examination revealed polygonal, itchy, erythematous papules on trunk, upper and lower limbs, that coalesced into brownish plaques in the ankles, flexural wrist and knee. No mucosal involvement was noted. In view of the clinical picture, the timing of the skin eruption with respect to the vaccine and the histopathologic findings, a vaccine-induced lichen planus triggered by the COVID-19 vaccine has been diagnosed. Conclusion: Lichen planus or lichenoid-like eruption as a cutaneous manifestation following COVID-19 vaccines are rare, and the pathogenesis for its development is still unclear. Clinical trials showed that the leading vaccines upregulate Tcell response (Th1) and incrementing inflammatory cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, such as lichen planus. Although we still do not completely understand its pathogenesis, dermatologists should be aware of the possibility and keep an eye out for worsening or debut of this disease after the COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccinated patients should be monitored for skin manifestations, and dermatological evaluation should be offered, when needed.

Factors associated with involuntary hospitalization
In clinical practice, involuntary hospitalization in psychiatry is a procedure that patients with severe mental disorders are subject to due to the inability to make rational treatment decisions.. The prevalence of involuntary hospitalizations varies widely within and between countries. Involuntary admission to a hospital for psychiatric treatment can be life-saving and may be considered beneficial to some people in the long run. However, the experience of involuntary treatment can be traumatic, intimidating, stigmatizing, and lead to long-term avoidance of mental health services and an increased risk of rehospitalization. In this paper, we have considered the risk factors for involuntary hospitalizations and their frequency in the region and Europe.
