THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE PERIODONTIUM IN SCHOOLCHILDREN IN THE REGION OF KOSOVO AND METOCHIA

Periodontal diseases appear at the earliest age, they are progressive, long-lasting and if not treated lead to the loss of teeth in adults. By examining and identifying the frequency, range and severity of periodontium diseases, it is possible to evaluate the need for prevention and treatment of those affected with gingivitis and periodontophaty.The aim of the study is to determine the oral hygiene and periodontium status of the examined children in urban and rural areas. A total of 240 schoolchildren was examined. Significant presence of soft deposits was found in the examined children aged 12 and 15 years, disregarding the place of residence (IMN- 1.53 in town and IMN- 1.40 in the village). Calculus index values are significantly lower in the rural compared to the urban area for about 40% (0.26 in rural compared to 0.44 in urban area In relation to the place of residence (town-village), the status of the periodontium evaluated by CPTIN Index, shows that only 14.6% of the examined children need no treatment. Within the necessary treatment, 32.9% of the examinees need training in oral hygiene and 40.8% of them need removal of soft and hard deposits. Considering the recorded values from these two typical areas, it can be concluded that dental protection in these two regions has no significant influence on oral health. Thus, it is necessary to plan and conduct permanent prevention, early diagnosis and timely therapy.

DEPRESSION AS RISK FACTOR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COGNITIVE ADVERSE EVENTS OF TOPIRAMATE IN THE TERAPY OF EPILEPSY

Patients with epilepsy more often than healthy individual have cognitive disorders, what may be the result of different factors, among which significant place occupy the treatment with antiepileptic drugs. Topiramate is the new antiepileptic drug, which is related with high efficiency in the reduction seazures, and also whit high prevalention of cognitive adverse events. Purpose of our study is to clarify the role of depression in developing cognitive adverse events during therapy with topiramate in patients with refractory epilepsy. In the prospective stady we followed 40 adult patients with refractory epilepsy, which treatement took place on the Institute of neurology Clinical center of Serbia. All patients are neuropsychological tested twice. First time before the start of therapy with topiramate on basic antiepileptic therapy, and next time two months after the achieving of stable dose of 200mg/day. We used neuropsychological tests for evaluation attention, concentration, visual and verbal memory, speech, executive functions, divergent opinion and visual construction abilities. For estimate degree of depression we used Hamilton's scale of depression. Patients with the depressive manifestation had lower scores on cognitive tests in comparition to patients without the depression, before and after introductions topiramate. More the score of depression was larger, the scores of neuropsychological tests have been worse. Depression has bad influence on the cognitive functioning and her presence in the patients with epilepsy increases the risk from development of cognitive adverse events of topiramate.

MORPHOMETRIC AND STEREOLOGICAL ANALYSIS GANGLION STRUCTURES OF MYENTERIC NERVE PLEXUS, TERMINALLY PART OF HUMAN LARGE INTESTINE

Myenteric nervous plexus is from rare importance for function of gastrointestinal tract. It perform one regulatory level autonomic nervous system which is situated within wall of digestive tract wherefore is directly exposed effect pathogenetic factors from extern ambiance. Aim of these study is that itself within terminal part of large intestine (sigmoid colon and rectum) particulary inquest myentric nervous plexus as part of autonomic nervous system. That itself describe shape and arrangement of ganglion structures, as well as, shape and arrangement of ganglion cells of myenteric nervous plexus. Within our researches we use totally 60 tissue samples of human sigmoid colon and rectum. From anterior wall those part of large intestine was taken 30 samples, also and same number of samples towards parts of posterior wall. Proximately past getting samples was determine their volume by using picnometre. Afterwards are made preparations coloured by He, Cresyl - violet and AgNO methods. Tissue samples are sliced within step - shared series of incisions with thickness slice by 7µm and 3 thickness grade by 50µm. Stereologycal analysis was perform by test system M42 which is calibrated on enlarge objective 40x. During analysis was determined absolute volume of ganglion structures of myenteric plexus and absolute number of ganglion cells inside of ganglion structures. Structures of myenteric nervous plexus being shown on longitudinal cross - section of tissues as flat, irregular ramify structure explicitly limited from surrounding smooth muscles. Immanent is upward trend absolute volume of ganglion structures and absolute number of ganglion cells goes from sigmoid colon according to ampullar part of rectum. Variance on level of significance by p<0,05 are present only if itself compare absolute volume of ganglion structures and absolute number of ganglion cells of myenteric plexus ampullar part of rectum and uppermost part of sigmoid colon. Test correlation shows of being presence high statistic significant (p<0,001) correlation between absolute volume of ganglions and absolute number of ganglion cells of myenteric nervous plexus.

MASSIVENESS OF A SICKNESS, A PATHOGENIC OF CONTAGIUM AND HENLE-KOCH POSTULATES

Total happening «en masse» is important to epidemiologist - and so it is «massive manifestation of natural system of the sickness» (PSB). Manifestation "en masse" of the natural system of parotitis N makes quantities of qualities N , N , B b N , N , N etc. a) «Causative connection» (UV) is the reason of sickness appearance. UV has its own causes of appearance, Z neB z and so the hierarchy of cause in the complex happening from subsystem. Nongenotopic or/and entropic causes of appearance of causative bonds (connections) as equilibrium connects and/or separates binary elements of causative bond  (connection). Pathogenic of contagium exists virtually in happening «en masse» in pre pathogenesis, prior to forming «immanent UV». b) Realising conjunction between the subsystems makes appearance of «immanent causative connection». That is a moment from which comes to obligatory demonstration of pathogenic as inner cause of contagium and consequent getting sick. The author concludes that «natural work» is the cause by which UV appears. Natural work is outer cause of massiveness. Just by appearance of "immanent UV" the showing of contagium pathogenic in the subsystem of sickness. The pathogenic of contagium can be proved by artificial experiment and that way the Henle-Koch postulates can be satisfied, It happens that way that input disturbance unable to be shown. Finally, anyway natural happening should pass judgement on authenticity of the theory on natural happening.

THE MOST COMMON PATHOGENS OF BACTERIEMIA AND THEIR RESISTANCE IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS

To show the most common causes of bacteriemia in hospitalized patients, as well as their sensitivity to antimicrobial agents. The research data were extracted from official reports produced by Microbiological Laboratory in Clinical Centre Kragujevac. Isolation and identification of the causes were performed with standard microbiological methodology. Sensitivity to antimicrobial medication was tested using disc diffusion. Interpretation and inhibition zones of antibiogram were done in accordance with guidelines of US Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). A descriptive epidemiological approach was used in the research. The collected data were processed using the appropriate software application. Amongst the processed samples, a significant presence of Staphylococcus spp. was found (coagulase-negative 35,8% and coagulase positive 11,7%). Over 60% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates were resistant to meticillin. Enterococcus spp, isolated in 11,7% of all isolates, in more than 50% of cases was sensitive to ampicillin, with approximate isolate vancomycin sensitivity of 90%. The isolated Klebsiellà spp strains produced high degrees of Extended-Spectrum â-Lactamases (ESBL) and showed resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin, with 100% sensitivity to carbapenem. Pseudomonas spp and Acinetobacter spp were less represented (5.8% and 5.4%) but these neither pathogens were exempt to antimicrobial resistance.The research indicated that causes of hospital infections should be continuously monitored.

ÎPERATIVE TREATMENT OF PREMALIGNANT AND MALIGNANT CHANGES ON CERVIX UTERI AT GYNECOLOGY & OBSTETRICS CLINIC OF CLINICAL CENTER OF MONTENEGRO IN THE PERIOD OF 1999-2008

Cervix cancer is the second most frequently found cancer in women, after breast cancer and represent one of the biggest problems of modern medicine. The aim of treatment is to determine the frequency of certain premalignant and malignant changes in cervix and the method of its operative treatment. By a retrospective method, 360 women have been operated due to the changes in cervix from 1999-2008 at Obstetrics &Gynecology Clinic of Clinical Center of Montenegro. Out of this number the total of 297 women with premalignant lesions of cervix was found and 63 women at an operable stage of cancer. With premalignant cervix changes the most frequent indication for operation was CIN III - 24.57% of patients. Cervix conization -80.13% is most frequently used as an operable intervention with premalignant changes in cervix. The groups of 40-49 years of age and 50-59 years of age are the ages of patients with most frequently conization done. The most frequent indication to operate malignant cervix was Ca I b. Wertheim-Meigs radical hysterectomy was performed with all patients with operable malignant changes. With an early identification, an adequate evaluation, the treatment, constant and cautious monitoring, almost any cervical intraepithelial neoplasia can be cured. Without the treatment, 30-50% of cervical dysplasia can advance into and invasive cervix cancer.

COMORBIDITY COMORBIDITY AND RHEUMA AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS THRITIS

Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disease, which produces articular symptoms and damage, leading to disability. The aim of the study was the estimate frequency comorbidity, functional ability of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.This study included 60 patients (48 female and 12 male) with rheumatoid arthritis, mean age 53,92±7,06. Anatomical stage and functional class were analyzed according to Steinbrocker`s criteria. Functional disability was perfo-rmed using health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) score. Comorbidity was observed in 36 (60%) of patients (33 female and 3 male). Hypertension were found in 19 (31,67%) of patients, whereas 8 (13,33%) of patients had diabetes. It was established that 7(11,67%) of patients suffered osteoarthritis. The median HAQ score was 1,25±0,70. Poorer functional status was observed in 40% of the patients with comorbidity (HAQ score ≥2), than in the group of patients without comorbidity (21,67 %). The results of the study are showing large frequency coexisting disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The frequency of hypertension and diabetes was greater comparing to general population. The patients with rheumatoid arthritis show harder anatomical stage and comorbidity and greater functional disability, as compared to the patients without coexisting disease.

INTRAHOSPITAL MORTALITY OF PATIENTS SUFFERING AN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MYOCARDIAL REINFARCTION IN THE INTRAHOSPITAL PERIOD

Conclusion about efficacious of some medication can be given based on reducing morbidity and mortality in patients treated with that medication.. Aim of this work was to estimate intrahospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), role of myocardial reinfarction in that and side effects of medications in patients who were different treated in initial phase of AMI, based on what they were separated in three different therapeutic groups: group treated with thrombolytic therapy, group treated with beta-blockers and group treated with nitrates. It was shown that intrahospital mortality is highest in patients treated with nitrates but there was not significant difference between thera-peutic groups in frequency of myocardial reinfarction while frequency of complications and side effects were in range as in others similar studies.
