Najčešći nemelanomski maligni tumori kože epidermnog porekla su bazocelularni (BCK) i planocelularni ili spinocelularni (PCK) kože. Nastaju na fotoeksponiranim delovima kože i u 90% slučajeva su povezani sa oštećenjima kože nastalim dugotrajnom izlaganju UV zracima, kod osoba svetle puti i strarijeg životnog doba. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitivanje kliničko morfoloških i histopatoloških karakteristika obe vrste nemelanomskih karcinoma kože i prekanceroznih promena na koži. Urađena je jednogodišnja epidemiološka analiza najznačajnijih parametara. Od ukupno 50 pacijenata PCK je dijagnostikovan kod 46%, BCK kod (32%), i prekanceroze kod 22%. PCK je češći kod muškaraca 52,8%. Prekanceroze lezije prisutne su kod oba pola podjednako. Muški pol je predominatan za nemelanomske karcinome kože .Od ukupnog broja 72% je muškog pola. Prosečna životna dob kod oba pola iznosi 67.22. Najmlađa osoba imala je 41. godinu dok je najstariji pacijent imao 93 godina. Lice je najčešće zahvaćena regija sa 73,9%. Najučestaliji histološki gradus za PCK je gradus I (60,9%) Interesantno je da je PCK kod žena najčešće bio lokalizovan na leđima 28,6% dok kod muškaraca nismo imali ni jedan slučaj lokalizacije na leđima. Mešovita (43,8%) i nodularna forma(37,5%) su najučestalije u grupi BCK-kože dok je superficijalna tek na trećem mestu(18,8%). Zapaljenski eksudat mononuklearnog tipa bio je prisutan kod svih oblika NMTK i to kao umeren (72%) i izražen(28%). Uspešnost hirurške ekcizije merila se pozitivnim linijama resekcije koje su kod BCK bile kod tri pacijenta(6%)a kod PCK u 6 pacijenata (12%).

The emergence of brain infarction depends to a great extent on the status of collateral blood circulation and is associated with hemodynamic instability. This kind of brain infarction is usually found in border vascular zones. Infarction of borderline fields arises between vascular territories ACA and ACM or between ACM and ACP, deep paraventricular infarcts in internal border zones, wound or triangular cortical infarcts, as well as major infarctions involving the entire irrigated territory of ACM.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease with periods of remission and exacerbation and consequential defect of the pulmonary function. It is estimated that around 3 million people die from it annually and predicted that until 2030 the number of deaths will be up to 6 million per year. According to the reports of the World Health Organization and Global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD) it is predicted that COPD in the next decade will be the third leading cause of death in the world.[ 1, 2 ] It is characterized by limited air flow in the breathing pathways which is not completely reversible to therapy. Since there are systemic inflammations at COPD, the mechanisms of the processes have consequences outside the lungs also. Comorbidities are frequent at patients with the Chronic obstructive lung disease and they affect the disease prognosis substantially. The most common comorbidities are cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, anemia, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression, pulmonary embolism.

Introduction: Hernia is a defect of the continuity of the normal musculoaponeurotic and fascicular abdominal wall, which allows the release of any tissue, except those that normally pass through the apertures on the abdominal wall. Aim: The aim of the paper is to show the frequency of pathological changes in the inguinal region, their timely diagnosis and treatment, in order to avoid the severe consequences of their complications. Material and methods: For this study two-year material of the Surgical Clinical Hospital Clinical Hospital Priština in Gracanica was used, where we analyzed 102 patients who were operated in this center due to pathological changes in the inguinal region. Results: Male males are represented by 91 (89.22%), and female sex with 11 (10.78%) cases. Hernia was recorded in 86 (84.31%) and testicular retention in 16 (15.69%) patients. Femoral hernia in children is extremely rare and occurs in about 0.2% of all hernias of childhood. The femoral hernias on the left with faded and gangrenous left adnex were found in a baby only three months old, where adnectomy was done. Primary hernias was 84 (97.63%) of the patients, while we recorded recurrent hernias in two (2.33%) patients. With one child, we did a recurrent retention of testicles, which was done for a year in another institution. Postoperative complications were reported in one (0.98%) patients, where there was an infection of the wound. Conclusion: In modern surgical practice, it tends to diagnose the hernia at an early stage of development, which facilitates intervention and provides a better postoperative outcome. Incarceration represents a serious complication of all hernias, so timely and accurate diagnosis is needed to take adequate surgical intervention.

Infections caused by viruses hepatitis B and C are one of the most severe problem in contemporary medicine. These viruses show high affinity to hepatocytes. The fundamental pathogenetic mechanisam which is responsible for hepatocyte damage, depends either on cytocidal effect of virus or immunological response of the infected host. The most common way of virus transmission nowdays is parenteralno, due to intravenous drug abuse, while earlier the blood transfusion was a more often the pathway of infection. Patients on chronical hemodialysis are at increased risk of HCV infection. The aim of our study was to determine the most common risk factors and pathways of HBV and HCV infection, as well as to assess the significance of the serological markers of hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses in risk groups of patients. The study was conducted at Institute for blood transfusion at Health Center of Kosovska Mitrovica, in the period from January 2000 until December 2015. ELISA test was performed for the confirmation of presence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses in the blood. The results showed that the number of respondents increased significantly during the research period. Voluntary blood donors were significantly more represented than respondents who were referred by a physician. Average age of all seropositive? examinees in the study was 47,1 ± 18,1 years (range from 8 – 79 years). HBV seropositivity was significantly more present compared to HCV seropositivity. The highest incidence of HBV and HCV infection was recorded in the working age population, between 40 and 50 years of age. Analyzing the data of the way of infection transmission, most patients reported an unknown pathway of infection (39%). The second most common way of infection transmission was hemodialysis (28.4%), while the intravenous drug abuse was noted in 13,4% of patients. We can conclude that the implementation of regular screening and timely prevention, as well as the education program of the population can be helpful in reducing the number of patients with HBV and HCV infection

Introduction: A self-assessment health condition provides a general approach to creating a picture of the health status of the population. Aim: The aim of the paper is to show the connection between different categories of self-assessed health with socio-demographic characteristics, risk factors and with the presence of one or more chronic non-communicable disease of adults in Serbian communities in Kosovo and Metohia. Method: The research was carried out as a cross section study. As an instrument for data collection, the questionnaire was applied in the 2013 Survey of the Health of the Population of Serbia (excluding Kosovo and Metohija), which is in line with the European Health Research Questionnaire. For the purposes of our research, the following variables were used; gender, age, education, working status, marital status, the presence of chronic non-communicable diseases, smoking, alcohol use and physical activity. Results: A total of 1067 respondents (51.3% of women) responded, with an average age of 42.2 (± 16.0) years. Most respondents in the survey found that they feel very good or good, a quarter of the middle (not bad or good), while their condition was poor or very poor assessed by just under 5% of respondents. Among the respondents who rated their health condition as poor or very poor, there were significantly more female respondents, middle age and 65 years of age. Also, people with primary and secondary education, economically inactive, and who are inclined to the sedentary way of life, have a poor picture of their health. The frequency of people who assess their health status as bad or very bad is the highest among respondents with two or more chronic diseases. Conclusion: Different categories of self-assessment health show a tendency to connect with different individual characteristics of adult respondents. Our results can help in creating a strategy of action and building preventive programs in a defined area.

Introduction: During the course and development of diverse cardiological diseases different central nervous system complications may develop. These are most frequently related to the nature of the cardiovascular entity itself. Aim: To evaluate the association between atherogenesis factors and border zones strokes within the cerebral medial artery vascularization territories. Methods: In total 30 patients were enrolled in the study. Stroke diagnosis was based according to clinical and neurological examination and brain CT findings. The study analyzed risk factors correspondingly to World Health Organization criteria. Results: In majority of patients (18; 60%) arterial hypertension was diagnosed. Additionally, following condition and risk factors were identified: cardiological diseases (17; 23.3%), cigarette smoking (13, 43.3%), hypercholeterolaemia (9; 30%) and diabetes (7; 23.3%). In the group with cardiological diseases most frequent was myocardial infarction (9; 56.2%), AV block II and III (5, 29.4%), atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response (3; 17.6%). Conclusion: Results of the study point to conclusion that myocardial infarction, AV block II and III, atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response, iatrogenic hypertension and traditional risk factors for atherogenesis significantly influences presentation of the border zone strokes within the cerebral medial artery vascularization territories.

Newly synthetized derivative of bile acid, sodium salt of 3α, 7α-dihydroxy-12-oxo 5β cholanic acid (monoketocholanate) expressed a good characteristic as intranasal transport enhancer of xenobiotics.The aim of our sudy was to explore if it has an influence on bile metabolism and to measure its concentration in blood and bile after intravenous and intranasal administration. The experiment was performed in vivo on adult male Wistar rats. The determination of monoketocholanate (MKCh) in rats blood and bile, was carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), on an HP ODS2 column, using methanol/acetonitrile/acetate buffer as mobile phase. Absorbances were measured at 210 nm.Blood samples were taken from the prepared right axillary artery in 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes from the beginning of the experiment. Bile was collected in a half an hour intervals,during the three hour period. The results showed that MKCh changed the amount of excreted bile depending on the way of application. Intranasal application increased the bile volume and the MKCh concentration, both in blood and bile compared to the intravenous application (p<0.05). Distributionm of MKCh through animal organism depends on the way of application of the substance, which probably determines its caracterisation as the transport promotor of applied xenobiotics. HPLC has proved as aa relatively simple, fast and effective method for the determination of synthetic bile acid,MKCh in these biological materials.

Introduction. Radius fracture at typical site - fractura radii loco typico, is one of the most common fractures (more than 10% of all fractures). It is frequent in the fall on the palm of the hand. It happens at all ages. Objective. To examine the efficacy of electromagnetotherapy in the treatment of patients with radius fracture at typical site in order to reduce pain, swelling and increased mobility of injured tissue and reduce the possibility of complications. Material and methods. The study includes 100 patients with radius fracture at the typical site of which 55 women and 45 men, aged 20 to 70 years. The study included patients undergoing bone trauma treated conservatively by plaster immobilization, immediately after orthopedic treatment patients were treated with lowfrequency pulsed electrical magnetic fields produced by the machine MAGNEMED MT - 91 results. Pain in the wrist after physiotherapy treatment static isometric contractions and after the application of electromagnetic therapy was significantly more intense in the control group. Swelling in the wrist were significantly reduced in patients treated with electromagnetic fields. In all patients, after 20 applied electromagnetic field therapy achieved a significant increase in flexor and extensor muscle strength. Electromagnetotherapy is important in the prevention of complex regional pain syndrome.
