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.

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.

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).

SINOVITIS IN THE ARTHROSIS

Arthrosis (A) are the degenerative-dystrophic disease of the peripheral ankles. Etiology is unknown. The genetic factor and external factors, mostly of a mechanical nature are the crucial ones, however, in the literature more emphasis is put on the infection factor and participation of immunity in the etiology of the patogenesis A. We have treated 42 patients sicked of the gonarthrosis. A majority of them is not , as expected, is in their old age, but between 40-50 old. Out of total number, 12 % has had symptoms of early sinovitis while 17% has had symptoms of reactive synovitis. Early sinovitis is characterized in lymphocytes and plasmocytes, rare neutrophils with no fibrile layers. Reactive (later) sinovitis is characterized by rare neutrophils, crystals of appatite and abundant detritus. It is most probably that an early synovitis has an immunological and later one reactive character.

CLINICAL USE OF CLOPIDOGREL IN ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME

Acute instable atherosclerotic plate in the basis of the pathophysiology of the acute coronary syndrome and it is divided on two big groups: a) acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation (NONSTEMI) and b) myocardial infarction with ST elevation (STEMI). Clopidogrel belongs to the group of antiaggregation drugs which inhibit ADP receptors and on that way prevent platelets aggregation. The clinical confirmation of the clopidogrel efficiency is confirmed trough 4 big clinical studies: CAPRIE, CURE, COMMIT/CCS 2 and CLARITY-TIMI 28 studies. In CAPRIE study, clopidogrel showed moderate but significant advantage comparing to aspirin in prevention of the secondary ischemic cerebrovascular stroke and myocardial infarction. The results of CURE study showed that doubled combined therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin brought the reduction of the relative risk of cardiovacular events with patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation. The results of this study showed that the group of patients which received clopidogrel beside aspirin and thrombolytic therapy it came to the reduction of the occluded arteries. In COMMIT were also involved the patients with the acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation. Total number of lethal cases of the repeated myocardial infarctions or acute brain stroke was smaller in a group which was receiving clopidogrel beside thrombolytic therapy and aspirine in comparison with the placebo group. The results of CLARITY and COMMIT studies gave us recommendation that patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation which have thrombolytic therapy or percutaneous coronary intervention should receive clopidogrel as well.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATION OF SUPRATENTORIAL BRANE INFARCT COMPARED TO INFARCT ZONE LOCALIZATION

Epidemiological characteristics of acute stroke certify the great importance of such disease, which takes the measures of a mass incontagious illness, because it represents one of leading causes of death and invalidity in the world. Contemporary knowledge about the complexity of cerebral infarct has been significantly increased thanks to new imaging methods, which allows correction of clinicaly stated diagnose. The aim of our research was to determine clinical manifestation signs of supratentorial infarcts and their presence compared to anatomic localisations of lesions. 60 patients were clinicaly tested, and a computerised tomografy of brain followed, which disclosed anatomic localisation of lesions. Results have shown that the maniestation of supratentorial infarct in the AMC zone has the most neurological signs, from conscious state disorders, graver pyramid deficit, speaking disorder to hemihypesthesia and hemianopsys. Lighter neurological deficit is found in infarcts which affect AAC and APC zones, which brings to a conclusion that knowing the clinical state and without applying neuroradiological methods can imply to localisation of supratentorial infarcts.

CORRELATION BETWEEN DURATION AND DIAMETER OF DIFFERENT HISTOPATHOLOGICAL TYPES OF SKIN CANCER

The two most common types of skin cancer are basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, well known as nonmelanoma skin cancers. These cancers are the most common malignant tumors in white population and its incidence is increasing
dramatically. Information about the time of occurrence and cancer growth rate is a significant segment in establishing the primary skin cancer diagnosis. The aim of this prospective study is to determine the correlation between the size of basocellular and squamous cell carcinoma, represented through the function of cancer diameter and time period elapsed from their occurrence up to the surgical intervention. Apart from general anamnestic data, it was also insisted on as precise as possible datum referring to the cancer occurrence time. All cancers have been hystopathologically confirmed. Linear regressive analysis was used for establishing the interdependence between the diameters of tumors and their duration. The average growth of basocellular carcinoma in our patients was 4.3 mm on annual basis, i.e. 6.1 mm annually for squamous cell carcinoma. Tumor duration is a significant anamnestic datum for establishing diagnosis which can indicate a biological aggressiveness or skin cancer type.

AN ULTRASOUND DETERMINED FREQUENCY AND VULNERABILITY OF PLAQUES ON CAROTID ARTERIES IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELITUS TYPE 2

Even 1000 years BC the famous Persian physician Aviccena describet the first time gangrene diabetes mellitus as a complication. Basic pathohistological substrate vascular complication is atherosclerotic plaqueand therefore is an adequate treatment opf patients with vascular disease is conditioned by timely and precise diagnosis.The introduction of ultrasound technology in clinical practice enabled Edler and Hertz when the shou moves infarction 1954th,a then and Yoshida (1956.) and Sotomura (1959.), Frenklin (1961.) who are using ultrasound display of blood flow in the courts of man. The aim of our study was to deterimne the frequency of occurrences of atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries and ultrasound examination of differences in the variability of certain plaques between patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and healthy subjects. The examination was attended by a total of 82 people divided into two group. In first group they are 51 persons suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2 in to second control, the number of healthy respondents was 31. Among our respondents, a significantly higher incidence and plaque vulnerability was ina group of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.
