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.

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.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity and HPLC analysis of the methanol and chloroform extracts of leaves and twigs of endemic species Daphne blagayana collected from the area of Suva Mountain, Serbia. The antimicrobial activity, expressed as the values of MIC, were investigated on the 6 standardized bacterial strains and two strains of fungi. Amracin and ketoconazole are used as standard antibiotics. MIC values of the tested extracts were ranged from 15.62 to 125μg/ml. The strongest effect of the extracts exhibited against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus mirabilis. Results of the HPLC analysis showed the presence of a variety of secondary metabolites, one of which is 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin (daphnetin), which was identified in all the extracts tested. Daphnetin, as biologically active substance, is most responsible for the antimicrobial activity of the tested extracts, but its role can not exclude the influence of other secondary metabolites (phenols and flavonoids) present in the extracts, which may have a synergistic effect.

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.

Increased mortality rate for patients with mental disorders and their shorter lifespan compared to the general public is stated by numerous authors. Services on the Clinic for mental disorders “Dr Laza Lazarević” were reorganized, by introducing intensive care units – level two, i.e. contemporary intensive care of patients was introduced, only without life support. Primary objective of the research was to determine if the introduction of intensive care to the Clinic led to a statistically significant change in the number of fatal outcomes of hospitalized patients. The research was designed as a cross-sectional study and it included 62 patients that have died while being hospitalized at the Clinic for mental disorders “Dr Laza Lazarević” in Belgrade, in 2011 and 2012. Data were collected by retrospective insight in the histories of illnesses and treatment protocols of the Clinic and institutes for pathology and forensic medicine of the Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade. Obtained data were statistically analysed with Student’s T-test and ANOVA test, with a significance level of 0.05. Statistically significant difference was determined in fatalities in 2011 compared to 2012 with p = 0.007, and there were significantly less fatalities in 2012. Statistically significant difference in frequency of fatal outcomes when comparing 2011 to 2012 was determined only when comparing the ward of previous intensive care on one side with the newly established psychiatric intensive care units – level two on the other. High level of significance was determined with p = 0.005. New organizational concept introduced in 2012 has led to more efficient twenty-four-hour care and monitoring of hospitalized patients, suppression of accompanying somatic illnesses which altogether led to a significant reduction of fatal outcomes.

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.

Parodontopatija predstavlja inflamantornu reakciju na gram-negativne anaerobne bakterijske infektivne agense koja pogađa potporni aparat zuba, uključujući gingivu, parodontalni ligament, cement i alveolarnu kost. Cilj istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi kvantitativno-kvalitativni sastav mokroorganizama subgingivalnog plaka kod pacijenata obolelih od hronične i agresivne parodontopatije PCR metodom (eng. Polimerase Chain Reaction), a zatim proceni povezanost različitih stepena inflamacije i destrukcije tkiva parodoncijuma sa prisustvom i koncetracijom ovih mikroorganizama. Ispitivanjem je obuhvaćeno 70 pacijenata starosti od 16 do 65 godina. Utvrđivanje mikroorganizama u subgingivalnom plaku, određen je PCR metodom. U cilju postavljanja dijagnoze i određivanja stepena destrukcije parodontalnog tkiva, bili su korišćeni standardni epidemiološki kriterijumi: plak indeks (Silness-Löe), gingivalni indeks (Lӧe-Silness), SBI indeks (Mühleman-Son) i PDDZ. Prisustvo parodontopatogena u subgingivalnom plaku pokazalo je statističku vezu sa kliničkim parametrima težine parodontopatije i inflamacije gingive. Nalaz Porphyromonas gingivalis i Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans je bio statistički značajno češći kod pacijenata sa srednje teškom i teškom formom parodontopatije u odnosu na prosečnu dubinu parodontalnih džepova. Detekcija P.g. i A.a. je bila statistički značajno češća kod osoba sa umerenom i intezivnom inflamacijom gingive. Kvantitativno-kvalitativni sastav mikroorganizama subgingivalnog plaka ima direktan uticaj na inflamatorno-destruktivne procese u parodontalnim tkivima.

The extent and frequency of sports injury is often influenced by a variety of exogenous and endogenous factors, including poor physical fitness muscular imbalance, anatomical abnormalities, poor nutrition, and periods of intensive growth. The competing ability must be carefully estimated after injury, taking into account the nature and type of injury, the pain sensitivity as well as the time that passed from the injury. This is usually accomplished by the comparison with the uninjured limb, as well as with functional examinations. We evaluated the frequency and the type of injury in 112 sportsmen in Kosovska Mitrovica. Our results indicate that accurate evaluation of competing ability after injury is an important preventive measure in further sports activities.
