POSTERIOR CORTICAL ATROPHY: A CASE REPORT
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a slowly progressive dementia characterized by an early onset of visual agnosia, followed by components of Balint's syndrome, Gerstmann's syndrome, and transcortical sensory aphasia. The most striking neuropsychological feature of the syndrome is the dissociation between prominent visuspatial disfunction and relatively preserved memory, personality and insight. PCA is a rare syndrome. Autopsied brains of PCA patients have shown a neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). PCA is not just AD with prominent visual deficits but a distinct clinical syndrome. Neuropsychological examination is fundamental for the diagnosis. It is very important to assess visuspatial functions. Here we present a case of slowly progressive dementia with visuspatial disturbances and apraxia but relatively preserved memory functions, personality and insight.

ADRENERGIC β2 AGONISTS IN THERAPY OF PATIENTS 2 WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Bronchial asthma is the syndrome, characterized with chronic inflammation, hyperreactivity and obstruction of the respiratory pathways, accompanied with consequential symptoms and remodeling of the respiratory pathways. Application of inhaled corticosteroids accompanied with appropriate education of patients, significantly improve therapeutic treatment and outcome of the asthma. But, improvement of the lung function and patients subjective state is remarkable better yif inhaled corticosteroids are combined with adrenergic â2 agonists, than if the dose of inhaled corticosteroids is increased. So, according to Global initiative for asthma and clinical results long acting adrenergic â2 agonists in combination with inhaled corticosteroids are most efficient in asthma treatment and establishment and conservation of bronchial asthma control.

APPLICATION THE PERSONAL COMPUTERS IN RADIOLOGY
In this paper the role of personal computers (PC) in radiology was emphasised. PC have important role in medial image generation, in digital RTG, ultrasonography, endoscopy, tomography (CT, MR, PET). We emphasised the importance of PC in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) and image postprocessing, control and managing of radiology systems and PACS-a (Picture Archiving and Communication System) based on PC for transfer and archiving of medical images.

INFLUENCE OF ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULAE FOR HAEMODIALYSIS ON THE OCCURRENCE HEART FAILURE - CASE REPORT
It is known that arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis has an unfavorable impact of dialysis patients but their exact role in the development of heart failure was not clear enough. The paper presents a patient who is on chronic hemodialysis program is nine years, in which there was a clear clinical symptoms and signs of heart weakness, probably aided by a pronounced flow through arteriovenous fistula. Left ventricular hypertrophy due to volume of arteriovenous fistula, is not the only reason for the emergence of global heart failure.

RIGHT VENTRICULAR INFARCTION - A CASE REPORT
A characteristic hemodynamic pattern has observed in patients with right ventricular infarction, with frequently accompanies inferior left ventricular infarction or rarely occurs in isolated form. The electrocardiogram may provide the first clue that right ventricular involvement is present in the patient with inferior wall myocardial infarction. Most patients with right ventricular infarction have ST- segment elevation in lead V4R (right precordial lead in V4 position). ST segment elevation of 0,1mV or more in anyone or in combination of leads V4R, V5R, and V6R in patients with the clinical picture of acute myocardial infarction (MI) is highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of right ventricular MI.

THE ROLE OF A FAMILY IN POLITOXICOMANIA OXICOMANIA
Any need of a drug addict to conform to his drug dependence is eliminated by a successfully accomplished closed system of addictive behaviour and circular change of the state of his mind. His addictive behaviour represents the so- called indestructible homeostasis of a drug - addict' s family. Meeting the drug- user's needs deprives him from any desire to deal with his own personality and behaviour. Only in cases when the addictive behaviour is thwarted by requests and even aggressive behaviour of the parents and other members of the society (environment) who ask for explanation, the sense of menace and effect of projected pursuer is convincingly achieved, which can often lead to aggression.Using the GRADIR scale, the investigation has reported that drug addicts' families are not as defective in sharing their emotions as they are defective in their structure, which intensifies irregularity that leads to drug use. If family were better structured, its member might not turn to drug.

PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF VAGINAACCOMPAINED WITH HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS INFECTION (HPV)
Apart from great frequency of epithelian, especially preinvasive changes, some very rear diseases common for other lower parts of genital tract (cervix and vulva), are vaginal epithelian changes and especially vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN). That's the reason why we don't usually think about this disease, which can have very serious consequences, especially in late discovering of changes in the stadium of invasive malign disease.The aim of this work was to diagnose all pathological changes on vagina: benign, premalign and malign, according to the age of female patients. Biopsy and operative material taken from 1331 female patients treated in Ginecology and Obstetrics Clinic “Narodni front” in Belgrade, were used in this study. The most diagnosed benign changes was condylomata acuminate (42%). Out of 20 cases of premalign changes, VAIN I was diagnosed in 5 cases (25%) as a slight degree of premalign changes, while VAIN II and VAIN III were diagnosed in 5 cases as a severe degree of premalign lesions. Out of 11 cases, there were 3 cases (27.27%) of invasive planocellar vagina carcinoma with histological degree G1N1. 8 cases (72.72%) were with histological degree G2N2, while there were not a single case with histological degree G3N3. Planocellar vagina carcinoma is the most common in the age of 41-50.

THE INFLUENCE OF GENERALANAESTHESIA ON CHANGES ОF ARTERIAL OXYGEN SATURATION SaO2 IN CIGARETTE SMOKERS
Although there is generally world trend in decreasing of number of smokers, expecially in developed part of world, smoking cigarettes still have large importance in morbidity and mortality of modern human population. Taking anamnestics data about smoking habit instruct anaesthesiologist to apply special strategy in general anaesthesia for a reason of possible complications provoked bby a chronic influence of nicotin and other tobbaco ingredients on different organs. In this article we wanted to examine influence of chronic tobbaco smoke exposing on arterial oxygen saturation SaO2 during and short period after general anaesthesia. Research was evaluated on patients in Emergency Center of Clinical Center of Serbia. Patients were divided in two groups (ASAI and II): group I smokers (n=40) and group II nosmokers (n=40). Our investigation has shown no statistical significant difference on SaO2 during general anaesthesia between two experimental groups. Immediately after general anaesthesia and extubation in postoperative period SaO2 dicreases (p<0.001) during transport from operating room to recovery room in both groups of patients,but the level of hypoxemia was significantly higher in smokers group. In this study we demonstrated that tobbaco smoking corellate with postoperative decrease of SaO2 after general anaesthesia, proposing an additional oxygen therapy in early postoperative period.

ENTS WITH PURULENTMENINGITIS MYELOPEROXIDASE ACTIVITY IN SERUM AND CEREBROSPINAL FLUID OF PATIENTS WITH PURULENT MENINGITIS
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a heme enzyme present in the primary granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) participate in oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity of these cells. During the course of bacterial meningitis plenty of PMNs leave blood vessels and migrate to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space, and some of their MPO may become, extracellular. MPO activity in control CSF is low (Me = 0.5 U/L), comparing with patients CSF samples of all three groups of proteinorrachia where elevated values were found already on admission (3.5 U/L, 5.0 U/L and 12.0 U/L, respectively), with highest values found during second lumbal punction (5.5 U/L, 7.5 U/L and 14.0 U/L, respectively). Poor correlation was found between albumin quotient and MPO activity CSF/serum, but significant correlation between MPO in CSF and CSF PMNs count.

EXHUMATION OFMASSIVE GRAVES AND SINGLE GRAVES ON THE TERRITORYOFKOSOVO AND METOHIJA(2001-2004)
Identification of victims during war and post war conflicts means for The Republic of Serbia the most important professional, scientific and ethical investigation. Before the process of identification forensics do the exhumation, very important part of process of which depends successful identification. On the Kosovo and Metohija, from 2001 till 2004. forensics did exhumation in some massive graves and in many single graves. Experiences of experts proove that the process of exhumation is very important becouse in that first phase collecting of evidence through forensic investigations have made “disappeared” victims “visible”, empowered survivors, corrected the historical records, and exposed cover-ups. Through forensic investigations including the identification of all injuries on the dead bodies, we faced with the marks and circumstances which followed the death under existing conditions on Kosovo and Metohija. Forensics promotes democratization and rule of law.
