Refluks želudačnog sadržaja do nivoa ždrela i larinksa naziva se laringofaringealni refluks, koji može postojati kao takav ili laringealni i faringealni refluks kao posebni entiteti, i kao takvi dovesti do drugih oboljenja kao što su rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media, prekanceroznih i kanceroznih stanja. Utvrditi povezanost i uticaj gastroezofagusne refluksne bolesti na pojavu, učestalost i dužinu trajanja zapaljenskih procesa i oštećenje sluzokože larinksa. Svi pacijenti su obrađeni anamnestički, laboratorijski i kod svih je odrađena indirektna hipofaringo i laringoskopija. Podaci o odrađenoj gastroskopiji dobijeni su na osnovu povratnih specijalističkih izveštaja gastroenterologa. 120 ispitanika sa dispeptičkim tegobama, kod kojih je anamnestički postojao i neki od simptoma oboljenja gornjih disajnih puteva. 62 (51,66%) ispitanika muškog i 58 (48,33%) ženskog pola. Prosečna starosna dob 54 godine . U 82 (68,33%) ispitanika bila je pojačana salivacija (jedan od vodećih simptoma) od tog broja u 61 (74,39%) ispitanika bio je prisutan i laringitis. U 68 (56,66%) slučajeva gde je kašalj bio dominantan simptom, laryngitis je bio prisutan u 26 (38,23%). Kod ukupnog broja pacijenata sa globus senzacijama 70 (58,33%), laringitis je bio prisutan u 38 (54,28%) ispitanika. Pušenje je bilo zastupljeno sa 65,83% (70) ispitanika, procenat ispitanika sa hroničnim laringitisom u ovoj grupaciji iznosio je 69,62% (55) ispitanika. Nakon odrađene gastroskopije i otorinolaringoloških pregleda, kod 62 (51,66%) ispitanika dijagnostifikovana gastroezofagusna refluksna bolest (GERD), od tog broja, kod 43 (69,35%) ispitanika bio dijagnostifikovan i laringitis. Nakon tromesečnog praćenja pacijenata posle uvođenja terapije (H2 blokatori, inhibitori protonske pumpe i antacidi) kod 28 (65,11%) ispitanika (od ukupno tretiranih), došlo je do poboljšanja nalaza. Rezultati ove studije ukazuju na značajnu korelaciju između gastroezofagealne refluksne bolesti i hroničnog laringitisa, kao I na povoljan uticaj i dejstvo antacidne terapije u lečenju laringitisa.

Development of accessory breast tissue is a consequence the lack of regression remanths of milk line during embryogenesis. These remanths can be found anywhere on the ventral side of the body, extending from the axilla to the pubic region and most of them can be found in the axillary region. On such a tissue may appear almost identical changes that affect the normal breast, from benign non-tumor changes to malignant tumors. In our case report, the case is a 23 year-old woman who had a unilateral solitary lesions in the axilla, which was surgically removed. Starting diagnosis was " Limphadnopathia axillaris lateris sinistri." After removal and histopathological evaluation of the change, it was found that there is a tumor - fibroadenoma. There were also performed immunohistochemical ( IHH ) staining, with finding of a conventional fibroadenoma of the breast as expected. Accessory breast tissue in the axilla is a rare finding, and the tumors in this tissue even rarer. Histopathological confirmation is mandatory, with the need to exclude malignant tumors which are more common in these cases, and they occur at an earlier age.

Cervikalni sindrom obuhvata grupu različitih oboljenja i poremećaja čiji je zajednički simptom bol u cervikalnom delu sa ili bez iradijacije. U opštoj populaciji, oko dve trećine svih osoba tokom života ima bolove u vratnoj kičmi. Prevalenca je najveća u srednjem životnom dobu (30-50 godina). Cervikalni sindrom je zastupljen u odnosu 1 : 6 ako je reč o bolnim sindromima lokalizovanim na celoj kičmi, a u odnosu 1:4,5 ako se govori o lumbalnoj kičmi. Cervikalni bolni sindrom je zastupljen u 8% slučajeva od svih bolnih stanja na lokomotornom aparatu. Ženski pol je ugroženiji skoro 2 puta. Osnovni cilj ovog istarživanja se odnosi na akutni cervikalni sindrom. Iispituju se efekti primene lasera male snage propisane kao dodatne terapije NSAIL (nesteroidni antiinflamatorni lekovi) na subjektivne smetnje pacijenta (bol). U metodologiji su postavljene tri grupe pacijenata sa po 30 ispitanika i to grupa koja je uzimala samo diklofenak, grupa koja je pored diklofenaka imala i TENS (transkutana elektronervna stimulacija) terapiju i grupa koja je pored diklofenaka imala primenu LLLT (lasera male snage).Dobijeni rezultati nakon terapijskog programa koji je trajao 21 dan su sledeći: cervikalni sindrom je učestalo oboljenje i to kod osoba preko 50 godina. U zaključku se može reći da je primena diklofenaka (NSAIL) u kombinaciji sa LLLT najoptimalniji terapiski koncept kod akutnog cervikalnog sindroma.

Abnormal liver function tests occur in 3-5% of pregnancies, with many potential causes, including coincidental liver disease (most commonly viral hepatitis or gallstones) and underlying chronic liver disease. Pruritus in pregnancy is common, affecting 23% of pregnancies, of which a small proportion will have obstetric cholestasis. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a cholestatic disorder characterized by pruritus with onset in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, elevated serum aminotransferases and bile acid levels, and spontaneous relief of signs and symptoms within two to three weeks after delivery. ICP is observed in 0.4-1% of pregnancies in most areas of Central and Western Europe and North America. Genetic and hormonal factors, but also environmental factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of ICP. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy increases the risk of preterm delivery (19- 60%), meconium staining of amniotic fluid (27%), fetal bradycardia (14%), fetal distress (22-41%), and fetal loss (0.4-4.1%), particularly when associated with fasting serum bile acid levels >40 μmol/L. Important ICP-induced changes in serum profiles of amidated bile acids were observed, involving both a marked increase in cholic acid concentration and a shift towards a higher proportion of taurine-conjugated species. Ursodeoxycholic acid (10-20 mg/kg/d) is today regarded as the first line treatment for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Delivery has been recommended in the 37-38th week when lung maturity has been established.

29 - year Lichen planus is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune skin disease, that is often manifested, except on the skin, in the oral cavity in a variety of clinical forms. The prevalence of the disease in the general population is about 1-2%. Etiopathogenesis is not still well understood. Histopathology, in addition to the basic methods, anamnesis and physical examination, is vital for proper diagnosis of oral lichen planus (OLP). Very diverse and loaded histological findings are common for all forms of oral lichen planus. We reported the case of oral lichen planus in a 49 years old male patient, who presented to the Dentistry clinic of Medical faculty of Priština with burning and itching symptoms and changes in the buccal mucosa. Histopathological analysis of biopsy tissue conformed clinical diagnosis of lichen planus. Due to the possibility for malignant transformation of lesions, the long-term follow-up of patients with this disease is of great importance.

Osteoartritis kolenih zglobova je degenerativno oboljenje čije su glavne karakteristike oštećenje i gubitak zglobne hrskavice, zgušnjavanje kosti neposredno ispod hrskavice (subhondralna kost) i hipertrofija kosti na rubovima zgloba. Klinički, OA kolenih zglobova se, u zavisnosti od faze bolesti, ispoljava bolovima u degenerativno izmenjenom zglobu, ukočenošću, ograničenjem opsega pokreta, krepitacijama, izlivom u zglob, deformacijama i različitim stepenom upale. U radu je obrađeno 100 ispitanika i prezentovani su rezultati kliničkih manifestacija oboljenja, koji uključuju anamnestičke i objektivne parametre, sociodemografski status, radiološki nalaz i prisustvo komorbidnih stanja.

We examined the impact of aerobic exercise on morphological characteristics and agility in elementary school children. Anthropometric characteristics of the subjects were as follows: longitudinal skeletal dimension (body height, as well as the lengths of upper and lower extremities), circular skeletal dimension and body mass (mean circumference of the chest, the circumference of the thigh of an stretched leg, maximum circumference of the calf, body mass) and subcutaneous fat (skin thickness of the abdomen, thigh and calf). The agility was estimated by the envelope test, side steps and a eight with bending. For statistical analysis we employed the basic methods of descriptive statistics, while the discriminatory power of measurements was estimated by calculation of skewness and kurtosis of the data. Canonical correlation analysis was applied to explain the structure of the relationships between the two sets of data. The results of the analysis on this sample suggest that there is a strong linear relationship between morphological characteristics and agility at a multivariate level.

Bacterial meningitis is a severe infective disease caused by different bacteria during which purulent pyorrhea is created in a subarachnoid space. In clinical terms, it is represented with the appearance of meningeal symptoms and signs. Neither recent years’ success accomplished in treatment of bacterial meningitis nor the best organized treatment provide an optimistic prognosis in sick children. Our research was conducted in 91 children with bacterial meningitis. Before diagnosing bacterial meningitis, 50 patients ( 54.9 % ) were treated with antibiotic therapy. In this group, 21 patients ( 42% ) showed complications in disease manifested with convulsions in 13 patients (26 % ). In the same group, 29 patients ( 58 % ) had a complete recovery after the treatment while 8 patients ( 16 % ) had sequele. In 41 patients ( 45 % ) without previous antibiotic treatment, complications are registered in 25 patients ( 60.9 % ) as follows: 18 patients ( 43.9 % ) had early complications while 7 patients ( 17.1 % ) had sequele. 16 patients ( 39 % ) had a complete recovery in this group. Complications and sequele are more common in the group of sick children without antibiotic therapy before diagnosing bacterial meningitis. However, the presence of sequele in the group of children which were treated with antibiotics before completed diagnostics showed that treatment of bacterial meningitis must be done in a more effective way as well as an early antibiotics treatment.

Artritis urica (giht) je klinički sindrom čije su glavne karakteristike recidivirajuća upala jednog ili više zglobova zbog hipersaturacije mokraćne kiseline i odlaganja kristala urata u zglobove i okozglobne strukture, stvaranje tofa, deformacije zglobova zbog uratne artropatije i nastanak uratne nefropatije. U zavisnosti od faze bolesti ispoljava se bolovima u zahvaćenim zglobovima, recidivnim artritisom najčešće u bazalnom zglobu palca ili ređe u drugim zglobovima stopala praćen deformacijama. U radu je obrađeno 40 ispitanika i prezentovani su rezultati kliničkih manifestacija bolesti, laboratorijski, radiološki nalaz i prisustvo konkomitantnih bolesti.

Osteoporoza se definiše kao sistemski skeletni poremećaj sa smanjenom koštanom masom i mikroarhitekturalnim oštećenjem koštanog tkiva. Faktori rizika su pojave koje znatno menjaju očekivani apsolutni rizik, odnosno verovatnoću pojave bolesti u odredjenoj populaciji. Starenje i pušenje su najčešće navodjeni faktori rizika za razvoj osteoporoze. Cilj našeg rada bio je da utvrdi najčešće prisutne faktore rizika za nastanak osteoporoze. U našem istraživačkom radu je obradjeno ukupno 88 bolesnika koji su podeljeni u dve grupe prema broju popušenih cigareta i dužini pušačkog staža. Rezultati su pokazali da faktori rizika: loše životne navike (pušenje i uzimanje kafe), su značajno zastupljeni kod pacijenata obolelih od osteoporoze. Kako bi smo blagovremeno sproveli lečenje, zaključili smo na osnovu dobijenih rezultata, da je potrebno aktivno tragati za faktorima rizika odgovornim za nastanak osteoporoze.
