Introduction: Obesity is one of the seven leading risk factors for the occurrence of the most common non infectious diseases. An epidemic model of the obesity prevalence increase is also present in the student population. To identify an overweight person, who has an increased relative risk status and who did not develope clinically manifested cardiometabolic disorders is a critical moment for the effective obesity prevention and treatment program. Objective: To determine the prevalence and status of relative risk of developing overweight related diseases among students at the University of Pristina-Kosovska Mitrovica. AUTORI SAŽETAK ENGLISH ORIGINALNI RADOVI Uvod: Gojaznost je svrstana među sedam vodećih faktora rizika za nastanak najčešćih nezaraznih bolesti. Epidemijski model povećanja prevalencije gojaznosti prisutan je i kod studentske populacije. Prepoznavanje osobe sa prekomernom težinom koja je u statusu povećanog relativnog rizika a kod koje se još uvek nisu razvili klinički manifestni kardiometabolički poremećaji je poslednji trenutak za efikasan program prevencije i lečenja gojaznosti. Cilj rada: Odrediti prevalenciju i status relativnog rizika od razvoja bolesti povezanih sa prekomernom uhranjenosti među studentima Univerziteta u Prištini-Kosovska Mitrovica. Metode rada: Procena stepena relativnog rizika od razvoja bolesti povezanih sa prekomernom uhranjenosti rađena je na osnovu izmerenog indeksa telesne mase (BMI-Body mass index), obima struka (WC-Waist circumference) i kombinovano BMI sa WC. Rezultati: U ispitivanju je učestvovalo ukupno 1686 studenta (44,4% muškog pola i 55,6% ženskog pola). Srednje vrednosti telesne težine, BMI i WC bile su ispod vrednosti korišćenih tačaka preseka. Status povećanog relativnog rizika od pridruženih bolesti je imalo: prema BMI-20,2% studenata (27,8% muškaraca i 14,1% žena); prema WC-12,6% (12,2% muškaraca i 12,9% žena) i prema BMI sa WC-20,2% (27,8% muškaraca i 14,1% žena). Postoji značajna razlika u stopi prevalencije koji su u statusu visokog i veoma visokog nivoa rizika u zavisnosti od metode procene (samo prema BMI i prema BMI sa WC). Zaključak: Utvrđena je visoka stopa prevalencije predgojaznosti i gojaznosti, opšte i abdominalne među studentima Univerziteta u Prištini-Kosovska Mitrovica. Oni se mogu svrstati u grupu studenata sa statusom povećanog relativnog rizika od nastanka i razvoja bolesti povezanih sa prekomernom uhranjenosti. Savetovalište za ishranu i dijetetiku u okviru Studentskog centra prema njima mora intenzivirati mere prevencije i eventualnog lečenja gojaznosti.

Teledentistry is an applied discipline of telemedicine in dentistry. In recent years, this area has been in the focus of interest of researchers.

This paper represents a review of the studies about teledentistry published in the last several of years, discuss them and puts forward the recommendations for future research.

Introduction: The presence of malignant altered axillary lymph nodes, and their timely detection is crucial for staging and prognosis of breast cancer. Echotomographic examinations are widely used technique, and represents one of the first tests of diagnostic modalities. Classic B mode, Doppler sonography, and MicroPure testing technique, allow a comprehensive assessment of the detailed morphology and internal structure of the nodes (number, location, size, shape, borders, echogenicity, edema of the surrounding soft-tissue, the presence of microcalcifications), and determination of their nature. Objective:The aim is to determine the role of echotomographic review the morphology, determining the nature and setting guidelines for diagnostic testing algorithm for malignant altered axillary lymph nodes. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included 212 echotomographic tested axillary lymph nodes in the Department of Radiological Diagnostics KBC "Dr Dragisa Mišović-Dedinje" in Belgrade, in the period from February 2016.do March 2017. All patients were examined in the supine position with arms in abduction, and external rotation. The following parameters: shape, size, and homogeneity of the echo-structure, edge, an auxiliary structures such as intranodal necrosis, edema and peripheral vascularization, as well as the presence of microcalcifications, using classical B mode, Doppler sonography and MicroPure technique. For all examinations we used Toshiba device, Aplio XG, 10MHz linear transducer. Results: Of a total of 212 tested nodule, histopathology was also verified 44 malignantly changed (21%), 4 of which the primary (9%) in a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma, and secondary 40 (91%) in patients with breast cancer. Other nodes 168 (79%) were normal-reactive. The best performance in the echotomographic examinations are the criteria of: the shape (longitudinal cross-ratio <2) with a sensitivity of 86.9%, presence of microcalcifications with sensitivity of 83,7%, hilus (not clearly defined, and hypoechogenic) with sensitivity of 81.8%, the size (transverse diameter greater than 8mm), with a sensitivity of 79.2%, as well as echogenicity (hypo to anechogenic) with sensitivity of 73.1%. Conclusion: Echotomographic review is a useful imaging modality in evaluating the morphology and nature of axillary lymph nodes, but none echotomographic criterion in itself is not enough reliable in evaluating malignancy. Meticulousness when reviewing and examining all the criteria and modalities (B mode, Doppler, MicroPure) remain imperative in the diagnostic algorithm of tests axillary lymph nodes.

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.

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.

Hypoglycemia is defined asplasma glucose level sufficiently low to result in neurological damage. In the new-born age, the incidence of hypoglycemia ranges from 0.4-11.4%. Etiologically, low levels of plasma glucose can result from the hormonal or metabolic disorders; high doses of insulin, drug poisoning, liver disease or systemic disorders. The most common cause of severe and permanent hypoglycemia in the neonatal age group is congenital hyperinsulinism - the result of pancreatic cells hyperplasia and/or adenoma. Between two and five years of age, the most common form of hypoglycemic state is ketotic hypoglycemia of childhood, caused by limited amount of substrate. Diagnostic criteria include biochemical confirmation of low of glucose and/or high insulin levels, blood hormone testing (epinephrine, cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon levels), as well as metabolic screeningfor gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and lipolysis disorders and disarrangements of fatty acid oxidation. Therapy is directed towards the substrate supplementation and the application of medications and fuels aiming atrapid attainment of normoglycemia (fruit juices, parenterally applied glucose and dextrose, glucagone, corticosteroid therapy); diazoxide and somatostatin therapy is indicated for patients with hyperinsulinemia.

Introduction: One of the basic tasks of the orthodontist is to establish a proper dental array, to provide a favorable mastication function and an adequate appearance of the maxillofacial complex.Aim: The aim of this paper was to determine whether the values obtained from Moyers' tablets within the 75% probability correspond to the values the width of the side segment measured on our population. Subjects and method: The study included 60 people with a constant dentition of age from 15 to 18 years (30 men and 30 women). Results: The total tooth width of the side segment in the upper and lower jaw obtained from Moyers's analysis is significantly higher than Our findings, regardless of gender, with an average of about 1mm. Conclusion: We have defined the new regression equations for calculating the size of the C-P2 segment for the upper and lower jaws especially for men and especially for females.

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.
