REGISTRATION OF MOTOR UNITS ACTION POTENTIALS OF M.BICEPS BRACHII IN FATIGUE

The aim of this study was registration of change in the amplitude of motor unit action potentials of m. bicepsa brachii of the dominant arm in fatigue. Investigation as coducted on 30 participants (15 male and 15 female). In the first phase of the research, 1-RM (one repetition maximum) of the dominant arm was measured. In the second phase, registration of changes in the amplitude of motor units action potentials was conducted during static contraction. Registration was performed twice, with time interval of 15 minutes. The second measurement was significantly shorter than the first. Analysis of EMNG-registration showed linear increase in MUAPamplitude in time. Significantly higher values of MUAPamplitude in the second measurements were registrated in both groups (p<0.05). Analysis of MUAPamlitude velocity change showed significantly higher values in the second measurement in males. There is no significant change in all registered values between males and females (p> 0.05).

COMPARATIVE ANALISYS OF ANALISYS OF HEALTH SURVEYS

One of aims of health surveys is comparison helth status of residents on different territories. Comparative analysis оf health surveys in five countries: (England, USA, Ireland, Canada and Hungary) and establish opportunities for comparison health status of residents in different country. Will be doing comparative analysis of results from health surveys in five quoted country. First of all, will be doing comparison of methods and derived results. Specially, will be notice on determinants of health which are applied in surveys. Methodology which was used is, mainly, similar in all country. Its health state like a best describes residents of USA. There are most smokers among Hungarians (30,5%) and least of all among Americans (17%). There are most obeses among residents of England (23,1%) and least of all among Canadians (15%). Most Americans and Hungarians (85%) visited general practitioners in recent year. Questions about limited mobility, depression, mental health, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, blood pressure, fisical activity, mammography, prescribe medicine, estimation quality of health care service and satisfaction with health care service there isn't in most of surveys. We can conclude that the methodology, which was used in surveys, is mainly similar. There are, obviously, variances in wording questions, respecting in determinants of health wich are exploratives in questionnaires. In order to escape these variances, one of the solution would have been using standardized questionnaires, which will be using in future surveys in all country.

CRANIOMANDIBULAR DYSFUNCTION - FREQUENCY SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Craniomandibular dysfunction are serious problem in stomatological practise from the aspect of prevention therapy and checkup. The frequency of this defect as well as its sings and symptoms were registered within randomly selected sample of examinees consisting of 70 individuals. The examinees were submitted to Fricton-Schiffman clinical function analysis wich indicated the presence of sings and symptoms of craniomandibular dysfunction. Within examined population 128 examinees had the sings and symptoms of craniomandibular dysfunction. It was determined in demographic analysis that diseased examinees were between the ages of 17 and 35 as well as that this sickness was commoner to female individuals in the ratio of 4:1. The most frequent symptoms were the following: muscles pain sensitivity to palpation (888%) lateral deformation of the lower jaw while opening the mouth (778%) and sound signals in temporomandibular joint while moving the lower jaw (77%). The highest frequency of pain sensitivity was in: m. pterigoideus lateralis m. maseter and lower insertion of m. trapesius. The most frequent sound signal was the one registered during the lateral movements of the lower jaw

LIVER RESECTION AT ECHINOCOCCUS CYST

Echinococcus is a zoonosis, parasitic disease, caused by echinococcus granulosus, E. multilocolaris, E. Vogeli and E. oligarthus. The most frequent at humans is a cystic form of the disease caused by E. granulosus, and rarely the alveolar one caused by E. multilocolaris seu alveolaris. It can affect all the organs and tissues. The most affected ones are: liver (70- 80%) and lungs (10-25%), while rarely, at 5% it can be found in spleen, kidneys, brain, heart, pancreas, mussels and skeleton. The only secure treatment of the primary echinococcosis is the surgical one. It should start immediately after the diagnosis is set in order to avoid complications which follow echinococcosis. Several surgical methods are used in practice for live echinococcus treatment: partial pericystectomia, total cystopericystectomia and liver resection. Aim of the work is to show the importance of the echinococcus cyst of liver and treatment methods. The patient presented in the work is Dj.G., female, register number of the disease history 355/14.05.2007., 61 years old, hospitalized at Surgical Clinic because of the surgery of echinococcus cyst on the left liver lobe. Diagnosis was set by abdomen USG, CT of the abdomen, and laboratory analyses. During the surgery, we found a big echinococcus cyst localized in the second and third segment of liver, so we did a liver resection as a bisegmetectomia with total ekstirpacija of the cyst. Postoperative flow passed normally and the patient
was on the eight postoperative day sent to further home care in a generally and locally good state.

MIGRAINE COMBINED WITH ACM ANEURISM IN 15 YEARS OLD PATIENT CASE PRESENTATION

Migraine headaches are very frequent and its prevalence rates between 15-18% in women and 5-6% in men (1). Migraine attacks vary very mach in their intensity and frequency from patient to patient, and during the time in same patient. Even 75% of the patients describe attacks as heavy or extremely heavy. Although somatic and neurology exams between attacks reveal regular findings, migraine can have great impact on the patients quality of life (social limitations, complications caused by drugs, psychiatric and somatic morbidity (2) In spite usual believes headaches are very often in children. Before puberty boys safer more frequently than girls. Just the same, in early childhood as well as in adolescence migraine pain could mimic and compromise bringing up the right diagnosis of the other possible somatic causes, most likely one sided headaches. Our case presentation points out one of the possibilities. L.M 15-years old patient hospitalized on the pediatric department of the ,,Kralj Milutin Clinic,, in Laplje Selo on October 2007, under the diagnosis of blanking out and left sided headache. After neurology exam and neurology diagnostic procedures done MR cerebra and MR-angiography, diagnose of aneurism of right the ACM (arteria cerebra media) has been established, and operatively treated. After the intervention, patient stays without intensive headaches , only weak pain on the left side of the head, now and on, without blanks.

RECONSTRUCTION DEFECT RECONSTRUCTION DEFECT ORBITAL FLOOR WITH SYMPHYSEAL WITH SYMPHYSEAL GRAFT

Fracture of orbital floor is relatively frequenthly injuries. Fractures can appear same in war or peacefull conditions. War injuries can be bursting, and in many cases is very hard, with fracture, dislocation and defect more of orbit walls. Peacefulls injuries orbital floor appear mostly in car exident, fight, fall on face, and also in sports activity. Regarding specific anatomic structure, sensitive position and content of orbital cavity, even today exists different opinion especially by question of mechanism of originate, same as question of injury treatment.

EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF THE SMALLAIRWAYS DISEASE AT ASYMPTOMATIC SMOKERS

Many researchers and clinical doctors have realized that spirometric tests, as well as the resistance of airways, could be within the normal limits at people who have clear signs of bronchitis (coughing, expectoration and lighter disphnoe). Very often, especially among smokers, they have found discrepancy between the functional tests' results and clinical symptoms, although they could expect to find minor lungs' diseases within this group of people. Obstructive lesions in small airways are very often present at smokers older than 40 years, whose lungs are macroscopically normal, and who do not show clinical signs of the obstructive lung disease ('asymptomatic smokers'). The aim of the paper was to find which test, among the most often-used tests for the functional research of the respiratory system, represented the best indicator of the initial obstructive changes localized in small airways. The research study included 50 asymptomatic smokers (34 male and 16 female) ranging from 44 to 57 years. The results of the achieved FVC were at normal level, at all examinees. Out of 50 examinees, asymptomatic smokers, there was one examinee (2%) with the lower level of FEV , while at two examinees 1 (4%) lower levels of SRt and MEF were found. Significantly lower levels of the measured MEF were found among 50%FVC 25%FVC 16 asymptomatic smokers (32%). Such a functional result, i.e. a decrease of MEF while the levels of FVC, FEV , Rt, 25%FVC 1 SRt and MEF are normal, accompanied by a long-lasting smoking case-history with less expressed symptoms, points at 50%FVC the existence of the obstructive disorders localized in the periphery parts of the bronchial tree (small airways). The registration of the flow/volume curve and its analysis might be used as a test even more sensitive than spirometry and body pletizmografy; as a test it can be used for a diagnosis of initial obstructive difficulties in small airways, in other words, it could diagnose the small airways disease.

RESULTS OF THE POLL RESEARCH AMONG PRIMARY HEALTH CARE DOCTORS OF SOUTH BACKA DISTRICT

An anonymous poll was conducted, targeting medics in health institutions in the area of Novi Sad, Bačka Palanka, Bač, Temerin and Odžak (south Bačka region). Doctors involved in this survey are representative sample of the total population. Aim of the survey was to analyse drugs prescription and use in modern medicine, as well as to determine the extent of compliance of general medicine doctors with modern pharmacotherapy requirements. Results show that more than a half of doctors feel that the positive list corresponds to real needs, and that the price of medicaments and participation is low. Also, they believe that the drug consumption exceeds real needs. The high percent of medics does not have sufficient knowledge of the modern pharmacotherapy attitude towards the certain drugs use, which demonstrates the lack of continuing education in the field.

ANTIOXIDATIVE POTENCY OF PLANT MELLITIS MELISOPHYLLUM

One of the paradoxes of life on the Earth is that, on one side, oxygen is necessary for living of aerobic organisms. On the other side, increased contrencations of oxygen and especially its reactive metabolites (reactive oxygen species) may lead to the development of number diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, ischemia-reperfusion injury, coronary atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cancer genesis, as well as in the aging process (1, 2,3). Amajor source of free radicals in biological systems is molecular oxygen (O2). By interacting with fundamental cell structures and biomolecules, reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to the development of many pathophysiological disorders (4,5). Active principles from plant family Lamiaceae (flavonoids and phenolic compounds, polyphenols), like plant Mellitis melisophillum, may act as new potential antioxidants.

EPILEPTIC STATUS AND THERAPY

Epileptic status is one of the most urgent conditions in medicine, whose positive outcome is directly dependent of adequate treatment. The estimation of epileptic status incidence is not available. According to population studies, the incidence varies from 16 to 18 at a sample of 100000 people. The status treatment consists of a line of procedures whose goal is to stop it in as little time as possible. Medication therapy is the basis of it, and it is needed that intravenous medications are used urgently in an adequate dose, at an adequate speed (intravenous burden dose), with an adequate symptomatic therapy and correction of eventual provocation status factors. General medications used to initially treat the status are benzodiazepines, fenitoin and fenobarbiton. Randomized studies have shown that lorazepam has pharmacokinetic advantages over diazepam and that it doesn't initiate respiratory depression as often as midazolam. Also, it is more efficient than fenitoin, and more efficient than fenobarbiton. Medication treatment is confirmed to be efficient at breaking the status at nearly all of the patients, but the final outcome depends on the initial cause. If the status cannot be ended by application of conventional doses of basic medications, then a refractory status may be discussed. It may be treated by a prolonged anesthesia using barbiturates, midazolam or lorazepam.
