Chemical risk factors responsible for the formation of wedge-shaped lesions
Introduction: Non-carious tooth substances loss pose a major health problem of a modern man. The literature often collectively describes all non-carious lesions and is therefore difficult to compare results obtained by different authors. Chemical factors are one of the predisposing factors responsible for the formation of wedge-shaped erosions. Aim: Examination of chemical risk factors as one of the predisposing causes responsible for the formation of wedge-shaped lesions. Method: We examined 62 patients with wedge-shaped erosions (mean age 45.52 ± 12.03 years, 58.1% of men) and 60 patients without erosions in the control group (mean age 34.40 ± 9.28 years, 60% men) . The entire examination was completed by using a questionnaire at the Dental Clinic of the University of Pristina - Kosovska Mitrovica. salivary pH was measured by the pH meter. Results: The results show that the wedge-shaped lesions often occur equally in both men and women. Considerably often it might appear in older people but can also occur in teenagers. Patients with wedge-shaped erosion have increased acidity of saliva, a heightened sense of acid in the mouth and consume a lot more carbonated drinks compared to patients without erosions. Conclusion: Wedge-shaped lesions are more common in people older than 40 years. Taking into account the results obtained in this study it can be concluded that the chemical risk factors truly fall within the predisposing factors that may be responsible for the creation of wedge-shaped erosions.

Distribution of high-risk types of human papillomavirus compared to histopathological findings in cervical biopsies in women
Introduction: In over of 99% cases of cervical cancer its appearing is preceded by persistent cervical epithelium infection caused by high-risk oncogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The aim of the study was to examine the distribution of high-risk oncogenic HPV types compared to patohistological diagnoses of cervical diseases in women. Materials and methods: The study included 56 women with suspected premalignant and malignant cervical lesions, due to suspected colposcopic and cytological findings (Papanicolaou test). The HPV typing by "in situ" hybridization method on high-risk HPV types 16, 18, 31 and 33 was performed in all patients from cervical smear as well as cervical biopsy. Histological findings of cervical biopsy was a "gold standard" in the analysis of materials. Results: Histologically detected premalignant or malignant changes of the cervix were found at 34 (60.7%) of all 56 examined women: 17 of them had LSIL, 13 of them had HSIL, while 4 had squamous cell carcinoma. A positive HPV test had a 47 (84%) of them with a prove of the presence of one or more types of HPV. The most common type of virus was HPV 16 and it was detected in 27 (48.2%) women, followed by HPV 31 that was detected in 26 (46.4%) women, HPV 18 in 18 (32.1%) of women and HPV 33 in 4 (7.1%) women. The infection caused by oncogenic type HPV16 was significantly more frequent in patients with HSIL and cervical cancer (p<0,001), while the infection caused by oncogenic type HPV 31 was significantly more frequent in patients with LSIL and cervicitis (p=0,003). The distribution of HPV 18 and HPV 33 types was not statistically significantly different in patients with different histological findings (HPV 18, p = 0.41; HPV 33, p = 1.0). Conclusion: Based on our results we can conclude that there is a good correlation of HPV infection with pre-malignant cervical lesions and cervical cancer. The incidence of HPV type 16 infection increased with severity of cervical lesions and it is usually detected high-risk oncogenic type virus in women with severe cervical lesions type like HSIL and cancer are. HPV 31 is the most common high-risk type of HPV of mild type lesions, like LSIL and cervicitis are. We believe that women infected by high-risk oncogenic HPV types, although without histologically diagnose of cervical lesion, should be more frequent controle by colposcopy and cytology (Papanicolaou) test, because of possible disease progression to a more advanced level.

Medicine poisoning in suicidal pathology
Introduction:Istraživanja pokazuju da svako realizovano samoubistvo prati od 8 do 25 neuspelih pokušaja. Osobe koje su pokušale samoubistvo samotrovanjem najčešće navode da su bile preplavljene osećanjima i mislima koje su im bile nepodnošljive. Želele su da pobegnu iz, za njih u tom trenutku, nepodnošljive situacije, ili su izgubili kontrolu nad sobom. Kod osoba koje su pokušale samoubistvo, trovanje lekovima, želja da zaista umru, da nestanu, javlja se retko. Češće je prisutna potreba da „samo“ odspavaju, odmore se, naprave pauzu. Cilj rada: identifikovati najčešći način pokušaja samoubistva kod oba pola ispitanika i sredstva koja su upotrebljena u cilju izvršenja samoubistva. U našem istraživanju najčešći način pokušaja samoubistva kod oba pola je trovanje lekovima - 91,1%, sečenje vena - 5,4%, skok sa visine – 3,6% ispitanika. Najčešće korišćeni lekovi su anksiolitici - 55,4%, kombinacije različitih lekova - 25,0%, antidepresivi - 8,9% , neuroleptici - 7,1%, lekovi i alkohol - 3,6%. Zaključak: najzastupljeniji način pokušaja samoubistva kod oba pola ispitanika je trovanje lekovima. Od lekova u najvećem procentu korišćeni su anksiolitici a u najmanjem procentu kombinacija alkohola i lekova. Nakon pokušaja samoubistva 90% ispitanika su osećali olakšanje što im pokušaj samoubistva nije uspeo.Kod 86% ispitanika na izbor sredstva u cilju samoubistva uticala je laka dostupnost lekova. Kod 3% ispitanika je bio ponovljeni pokušaj samoubistva i to na isti način, trovanje lekovima.

Chlamydia trachomatis as a cause of trachoma
Trachoma is keratoconjunctivitis caused by ocular infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. Endemic trachoma is caused by serovars A, B, Ba and C. Trachoma is probably the third most common cause of blindness worldwide, after cataracta and glaucoma. Active trachoma affects an estimated 84 million people; another 7.6 million have end-stage disease, of which about 1.3 million are blind. Most trachoma programmes use the WHO simplified grading system, by presence or absence of five clinical signs. The World Health Organization is leading a global effort to eliminate blinding trachoma by the year 2020, through the implementation of the SAFE strategy. This involves surgery for trichiasis (S-surgery), antibiotics for infection (A-antibiotic), facial cleanliness (F-face) and environmental improvements to reduce transmission of the organism (Eeducation). Tratment for trachoma includes local and systemic administration of appropriate antibiotics. Surgical correction of trachomatous trichiasis reduces the risk of progressive corneal opacification and blindness.

POVEĆANA VREDNOST KARDIJALNOG TROPONINA I U HIPERTROFIČNOJ KARDIOMIOPATIJI I DIJASTOLNOJ SRČANOJ SLABOSTI
U radu je prikazana žena stara 73 godine koja je hospitalizovana u jedinicu Intenzivne nege zbog osećaja nedostatka vazduha i atpičnog diskomfora u grudima unazad dva sata. Krvni pritisak na prijemu je bio veoma povišen (240/130 mmHg), kardijalni troponin i iznad referentnih vrednosti (2,1 ng/ml) a inicijalni EKG zapis bio je sugestibilan za infarkt miokarda bez ST elevacije. Ehokardiografska evaluacija i koronarna arteriografija koje su usledile isključile su akutni koronarni sindrom kao uzrok povećanog kardijalnog troponina.

NECESSITY AND FREQUENCY OF INVOLUNTARY HOSPITALIZATION IN PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTION
Involuntary hospitalization for treatment of mental patients is a necessity in modern scientific psychiatric practice. Hospitalization is generally an act of psychological and social disruption of individual’s homeostasis, which is a very important and complex problem for the mentally ill. The goal of the study was to confirm the necessity of involuntary treatment of mental patients in a medical institution, in the interest of patients and the society. The research was conducted as a cross sectional study of hospitalized patients in 2012 at the Clinic for psychiatric disorders "Dr Laza Lazarevic" in Belgrade. It included 2286 inpatients, especially involuntarily hospitalized 236 and 719 admitted for hospital treatment with the assistance of the police. The data were statistically analysed by methods of descriptive statistics: χ2 - test and multiple logistic regression analysis, using the software package SPSS v. 20. The results show that 255 patients were admitted to the hospital for the first time with the assistance of the police. Patients hospitalized with the assistance of the police in compared to those hospitalized without the assistance of the police were, with statistical significance: younger, more frequently males, most frequently in the diagnostic group of schizophrenia and less frequently in the group of organic and affective disorders, most often it was their first, and involuntary hospitalization. During the studied period, 236 (10%) of the total number treated patients were involuntarily hospitalized. There were 176 (74.58%) patients detained for treatment by force, with the assistance of police. There is a necessity for involuntary hospitalization of mental patients. The justification of detaining patients in the health institution by such measures is accomplished through legislation in the best interest of the patient.

PROGNOSTIČKI ZNAČAJ GLEASON SCORE-A 7 (3+4) I GLEASON SCORE-A 7 (4+3) U ADENOKARCINOMU PROSTATE U ODNOSU NA KLINIČKI STADIJUM, TKIVNI ANDROGEN STATUS I STEPEN NEUROENDOKRINE DIFERENCIJACIJE
Prognoza i izbor terapije adenokarcinoma prostate (ADKP) direktno zavise od brojnih prediktivnih faktora, među kojima su najznačajniji zbirni histološki gradus tumora (Gleason score, koji predstavlja zbir prvog i drugog dominantnog histološkog gradusa) i klinički stadijum. Novija istraživanja u ove faktore ubrajaju i tkivni androgen status i neuroendokrinu diferencijaciju. Važnost prvog i drugog dominantnog histološkog gradusa naročito postaje značajan kod ADKP Gleason score-a 7. Smatra se da goru prognozu imaju ADKP višeg Gleason score-a, uznapredovalog kliničkog stadijuma, androgen nezavisni tumori i tumori koji pokazuju veći stepen neuroendokrine diferencijacije. Cilj rada je odrediti prediktivni značaj ADKP Gleason score-a 7 (3+4) i ADKP Gleason score-a 7 (4+3) u odnosu na klinički stadijum, tkivni androgen status i stepen fokalne neuroendokrine diferencijacije. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 33 ADKP Gleason score-a 7, odnosno 26 (78,79%) ADKP 7 (3+4) i 7 (21,21%) ADKP 7 (4+3). Svi tumori su najčešće dijagnostikovani u stadijumu D2 kada su već postojale udaljene metastaze. ADKP Gleason score-a 7 (4+3) dijagnostikovani su u većem procentu u ovom stadijumu, među njima ima više androgen nezavisnih tumora i pokazuju veći stepen fokalne neuroendokrine diferencijacije. Svi dobijeni rezultati u saglasnosti su sa podacima iz literature i navode na zaključak da ADKP Gleason score-a 7 (4+3) imaju goru prognozu od ADKP Gleason score-a 7 (3+4).

Electrocardiography changes in patients with acute myocardial infarction in late hospital phase
One of possibilities to estimate size of myocardial injury during the acute myocardial infarction are electrocardiographic changes,
forming of QS formation (ECG signs of scares changes). This investigation which included three groups of patients receiving thrombolytic, nitrates or beta blockers in acute phase of myocardial infarction has aim to analyze 12-chanels electrocardiogram and to establish difference between this therapeutics groups in sum of QRS score, but also to indicateon frequency of periinfarction heart insufficiency in this therapeutics groups, comparing with observed ECG changes. Analysis shows significant differences between groups
in value of QRS score, and also significant lower value of QRS score in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with thrombolytic therapy. This difference relative to other two groups shows lower level of myocardial injury during acute myocardial infarction in patients treating with thrombolytic therapy.

ZNAČAJ EHOTOMOGRAFIJE U DIJAGNOSTICI TUMORA KOLONA
U dijagnostičkom algoritmu, ehotomografija nije metoda izbora, u otkrivanju maligniteta debelog creva. Međutim u praksi, sa nejasnim kliničkim simptomima i bez hemokult testa, ehotomografija je često prvi korak u dijagnostici. Naša iskustva ukazuju da ehotomografija kao prva dijagnostička metoda daje dobre rezultate u otkrivanju tumorske izmenjenosti debelog creva. Cilj istraživanja je bio da procenimo ulogu ehotomografije, kao prve dijagnostičke metode, u otkrivanju tumora debelog creva. Tokom prethodnih 6 meseci, u Službi za radiološku dijagnostiku KBC “Dr Dragiša Mišović“, u 14 pacijenta otkriveni su tumori debelog creva. U 11 pacijenata ehotomografija je bila prvi primenjeni dijagnostički metod. Kod svih pacijenata učinjen je hemokult test, CT abdomena i male karlice kao i endoskopski pregled sa biopsijom. Histopatološki nalaz odgovarao je adenokarcinomu. Ultrazvučna dijagnostika obavljana je na aparatu marke Toshiba. Ehotomografski je u 11 od 14 pacijenata uočeno zadebljanje zida kolona, sa suspektnim znacima infiltracija zida. Solidne mase, hipo-heteroehogenog izgleda uočene su u 11 pacijenata, nejasan oblik lumena creva u 9 pacijenta, nazubljene ivice suspektnog infiltrata u 6 pacijenta, zarobljen vazduh u tumorskoj (pseudotumorskoj) masi u 6 pacijenta, patološki izmenjeni regionalni limfni nodusi uočeni su u 3 pacijenta, a prisustvo distalnog rasejanja bolesti, u vidu sekundarnih depozita u jetri u 4 pacijenta. Tumorska masa veća od 5 cm uočena je u 8 pacijenta. Senzitivnost izvršene ehotomografske dijagnostike iznosila je 78,6%, specifičnost 83,3%, pozitivna prediktivna vrednost 68,7%, negativna prediktivna vrednost 89,3%, dok je tačnost izvršene dijagnostike iznosila 81,8%. Ehotomografija, kao prvi dijagnostički korak, daje doprinos u postavljanju konačne dijagnoze. To je od značaja u proceni dijagnostičnog i terapijskog kostbenefita, uz kraću dijagnostičku obradu, što vodi ka endoskopskom pregledu, ali i u kliničkoj proceni proširenosti osnovne bolesti, imajući u vidu neravnomernu i nedovoljnu dostupnost CT pregleda u našim uslovima.
