Navike u ishrani i fizičkoj aktivnosti studentske populacije
Analizom stručnih i naučnih publikacija koje se bave istraživanjem zdravstvenog ponašanja studenata nameće se mišljenje da studenti predstavljaju populaciju sa posebnim rizikom nastanka posledica fizičke neaktivnosti i neadekvatne ishrane. Najveći deo dana studenti obično provode sedeći u zatvorenim, zagušljivim prostorijama slušajući predavanja ili učeći, a umesto rekreacije svoje slobodno vreme provode u nekom kafiću ili uz televizor ili računar. Za studente, kao posebnu populaciju mladih ljudi, ishrana je od primarne važnosti jer su kvalitativne i kvantitativne potrebe za dobro uravnoteženom ishranom veće nego u bilo kom drugom periodu života, s obzirom da ishrana mora biti prilagođena dugotrajnom intelektualnom radu. Cilj rada bio je da se oceni zdravstveno ponašanje, odnosno navike u ishrani i fizička aktivnost studenata. U okviru ovog cilja posebno će se analizirati učestalost i odnos učestalosti pomenutih navika među studentima Pravnog, Prirodno-matematičkog i Medicinskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Prištini sa privremenim sedištem u Kosovskoj Mitrovici. Istraživanje je urađeno kao studija preseka na reprezentativnom uzorku studenata Univerziteta u Prištini sa privremenim sedištem u Kosovskoj Mitrovici, u martu i aprilu 2011. godine. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 244 ispitanika. Kao instrument istraživanja korišćen je upitnik koji se koristio u u Istraživanju zdravstvenog ponašanja studenata ostalih univerziteta u Republici Srbiji u 2000-toj godini. Podaci su obrađeni metodama deskriptivne statistike a u svrhu analize podataka korišćen je hi-kvadrat test. U nedelji koja je prethodila istraživanju, fizičkom aktivnošću duže od 30 minuta bavila se samo trećina (34,4%) naših ispitanika, dok se gotovo polovina (48,8%) studenata izjasnila da je sedeći provodila do 5 sati dnevno. Polovina naših ispitanika (48,0%) svakodnevno doručkuje, četvrtina (25,8%) uzima voće, dok tek svaki deseti (10,7%) student svakodnevno u svojoj ishrani koristi mleko.

'Store and forward' telemedicinska konsultacija u endodontsko-oralnohirurškoj praksi
Telemedicina je kao sistem pružanja zdravstvene zaštite, definisana od Svetske zdravstvene organizacije (SZO) kao praktična zdravstvena zaštita koja koristi interaktivnu zvučnu, vizuelnu komunikaciju i razmenu podataka. Univerzitetski telemedicinski centar u Kosovskoj Mitrovici obezbeđuje stalnu dostupnost kadra neophodnih specijalnosti za brzu i efikasnu telekonsultaciju u slučajevima kada je ona neophodna ili se nameće kao metoda izbora u pomoći kod postavljanja dijagnoze, ali i planiranja i sprovođenja same terapije. Prikazana je 'store and forward' telemedicinska konsultacija u vidu slučaja normalnog nivoa hitnosti koji je zahtevao interdisciplinarni pristup između stomatologa endodonta i stomatologa oralnog hirurga. Kao pametna veza između telekonsultanata pri Univerzitetskom telemedicinskom centru korišćen je XPA3 online aplikacioni sistem. Nakon adekvatne telekonsultacije u kojoj su učestvovali lekari iz Kosovske Mitrovice, Niša i Podgorice, na pacijentu je uspešno sprovedena endodontsko oralnohirurška terapija, čime je pacijent u potpunosti zbrinut.

OCULAR MANIFESTATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic multisistemic disease of an unknown cause characterised by persistens inflammatory synovitis which results in destruction cartilage and bone erosions. RA is a systemic disease with various out of joint manifestations of different clinical importance, among which rheumatoid knots, rheumatoid vasculitis, pleuropulmonal and ophthalmological manifestations are the most prominent ones. The most frequent changes of the eye in patients with RA are keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), episcleritis and scleritis and ulcerous keratitis. Out of 70 examined patients, 52 (74.3%) are female, and 18 (25.7%) of male sex (ratio 4:1), average age 56.47. In 18 (25.71%) RA diseased patients eye changes found are as folows: secondary Sjögren syndrom, that is keratoconjunctvitis sicca in 18.57%, only in female patients, episcleritis nodosa and scleritis in 4.29%; 2.86% in male and 1.43% female patients and ulcerous keratitis in 2.86% RA diseased patients.

UTILIZATION OF ANTIBIOTICS FOR SYSTEMIC USE AT THE SURGICAL CLINIC OF THE CHC - PRISTINA IN GRACANICA
In our work we analyzed utilisation of antibiotics for systemic use at the Surgical Clinic of the Clinical Hospital Centre - Pristina in Gracanica in 2007. and 2008. Data on antibiotic utilization were delivered on the basis of drug dispensing records from the Central Hospital Pharmacy during the two-years period. Antibiotics were distributed inside the ATC/DDD system in accordance with WHO guidelines. Quantitative antibiotics' utilisation was expressed as number of defined daily doses per 100 patient-days (DDDs/100 PD). Overall use of antibiotics in 2007 was 123.37 DDDs/100 PD, and 125.09 DDDs /100 PD in 2008. Three most utilized antibiotics in 2007. were cefuroxime 24.26 DDDs/100 PD (19.66 % of total antibiotics' use), ceftriaxone 16.65 DDDs/100 PD (13.49 %), and cephalexin 15.78 DDDs/100 PD (12.79 %). In 2008. the most utilized were ceftriaxone 23.23 DDDs/100 PD (18.57 %), cefuroxime 22.53 DDDs/100 PD (18.01 %), and co-trimoxazole 19,55 DDDs/100 PD (15.63 %). Qualitative and quantitative part of the consumed antibiotics was mainly in accordance with the results of similar researches in our country.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MEASUREMENT OF MYELOPEROXIDASE ACTIVITY IN ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME
In the last ten years significant progress has been made in understanding of role of neutrophil granulocytes and their enzyme myeloperoxidase in the evolution and complications of atherosclerosis. Myeloperoxidase plays the role in the development of vulnerable plaque associated with the development of acute coronary syndrome. There is much evidence that suggests the role of myeloperoxidase in the development of vulnerable plaque. We investigate the value of myeloperoxidase as marker of the presence of vulnerable plaques in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Myeloperoxidase activity was significantly high in serum of the patients with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome as reflection of the presence of vulnerable plaques. Increase in myeloperoxidase activity in serum of patients with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome precedes to myocardial damage.

EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT DOSES OF ZINC PREPARATION ON GLYCEMIA AND ANTIOXIDANT PARAMETERS IN EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED DIABETIC RABBITS
Researches with micronutrients are getting more and more important in science and also in practice. In this view zinc, chromium, copper and selenium are having a special role in preventing micro- and macrovascular diabetic complications, as integral components of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) and also as cofactor of enzymes and hormones involved in the metabolism of glucose and lipid. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects different doses of zinc on glycemia and parameters of antioxidative defense: superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant status (TAS), and correlation glycoregulation with antioxidant system of the alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits. The study was conducted on fourteen New Zealand rabbits of both sexes, weighing 2 to 3.5 kg. Experimental diabetes was induced in rabbits by intravenous injection of alloxan (80 mg /kg BW). Three weeks after induced experimental diabetes, rabbits were treated orally appropriate doses of chelated zinc: I dose - 15 mg, after a washout period (10 t ), II dose - 25 mg, af- 1/2 ter a washout period, III dose - 50 mg. Blood samples were taken at specific time intervals: before alloxan induced diabetes, after alloxan induced diabetes, after application the first dose of 15 mg of zinc, after application of a second dose of 25 mg of zinc, after application of third dose of 50 mg of zinc. The zinc preparation did not cause a statistically significant reduction in serum glucose level when administered in single doses 15, 25 and 50 mg in experimentally induced diabetic rabbits. However, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was significantly increased after single dose preparations of zinc at a dose 15 mg (p<0,05), 25 mg (p<0,001) and 50 mg (p<0,001) in relation to the activity recorded before the application of zinc. Also, after the application first, second, and than third dose of zinc in diabetic rabbits was recorded statistically significant increase of TAS in relation to the value recorded before the application of zinc (p<0,001). Glucose concentrations negatively correlated with superoxide dismutase activity. This indicates that oral application of zinc preparation can reduce the harmful effects of oxidative stress in diabetes.

METABOLIC REGULATION OF DIABETES AND FUNGAL SKIN INFECTIONS
In diabetics fungal skin infections are reported to be related to greatly disturbed metabolism. In order to get better insight into the association between diabetes mellitus and fungal skin infections, we started our study with the aim to assess the effect of metabolic regulation on the incidence of fungal skin infections is diabetics. The obtained results of our study show that in patient with metabolically poorly regulated primary disease i.e. diabetes the incidence of the fungal skin infections is highest (36.0%), its incidence is lower in patients with metabolically satisfactorily regulated diabetes (29.5%) and lowest in those with well regulated diabetes (18.8%), witch is statistically significant difference (p=0.045).

ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA AND POLYPS
Endometrial hyperplasia appears like a result of continues, not mortified stimulation of endometrial by estrogenically hormones. Endometrial becomes nub which histological mirrors in endometrial gland multiplication, in smaller amount even endometrial strom. Endometrial polyp represents focal overmuch growth of gland stromas endometrial and its considered a focal endometrial hyperplasia. Therefore we will examine them at the same time. Medical faculty of Prishtina - Kosovska Mitrovica did an analysis of biopsy and operational material in pathology institute in the period from 2005 to 2008 out of 3696 histological proved cases, its recorded that 210 cases have endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial polyp, which is 5,68%. According histological type the most often seen is endometrii hyperplasia simplex who is spotted in 127 cases (60,48% - D= 0,195; p<0,001), endometrii hyperplasia complex in 19 cases (9,09%), cases where endometrial hyper-plasia and endometrial polyps are united are spotted in 14 cases (6,67%), while endometrii polypus in 50 cases (23,81%). By analysis of all types of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial polyps we came to conclusion that all of these changes are mostly made at the age of 41-50 (60,48%) compared to other ages. (D=0,267; p<0,001). In between all patients the youngest was 22 years old (endometrii hyperplasia simplex) and the oldest 78 years old (endometrii polypus). On the basics of studied values, regression's analysis it's been confirmed that the numbers of cases with endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial polyps are growing for 8,6 every year, which points at bigger and bigger problem in the whole pathology.

THE PROSPECT OF UTILIZING SPREADSHEET SOFTWARE IN PHARMACOKINETICS
This article aims to promulgate the use of Microsoft Excel, one of the predominant spreadsheet applications, in the calculation of approximate functions by the method of spline polynomial interpolation. Cubic spline functions have demonstrated a remarkable suitability for the analysis of pharmacokinetic data of drugs with non-linear kinetic behavior or an unknown kinetic model, as well as general kinetic analysis, regardless of pharmacokinetic and compartmental models. It should be noted that cubic spline polynomials can be employed in determining a highly significant pharmacokinetic parameter - the area under curve (AUC), especially when the area measurement is not the principal intention, and the data is to be used for further research. Spreadsheet software is exceptionally pertinent to this kind of computation, as it delivers high precision and virtually instantaneous availability of the results. Moreover, this type of software possesses conspicuous flexibility, characterized by a real-time graphical representation and the capability to sustain user-created functions through a macro-language (VBA - Visual Basic for Applications) implemented in the program itself.
