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.

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.

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.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY WARNING SCORE IN PREDICTING IN-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST
Background: Cardiovascular disease is the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a major cardiovascular risk factor in hemodialysis patients.The present study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy by doppler echocardiography in hemodialysis patients. Methods: We studied 20 patients on maintenance hemodialysis in Dialysis Centre in Kosovska Mitrovioca. LV mass was measured by both Doppler echocardiography. Left ventricular mass was estimated by the modified formula using measure2 ments obtained in accordance with the Penn convention. Left ventricular mass was divided by body surface area in m to obtain the left ventricular mass index. Results:This clinical observation study involved 20 patients (9 males and 11 females) with end-stage renal diseases undergoing maintenance hemodialysis with a mean age of 55,26 years, mean time on dialysis was 38,74 months. Main causes for developing chronic renal failure was arterials hypertension and polycystic kidney. Arterial hypertension (60%), diabetes mellitus (20%) and hyperholesterolemia (10%), were the most frequent risk factors for cardiovascular disease among the dialysis patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy were detected in 14 (70%) patients. Mean left ventricular mass wass 153,62g/m2 (males), and 142,71 g/m2 (females). To conclude, the present study shows that hemodialysis patients have higher left ventricular mass and higher prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy.

DEPRESSION AND SUICIDALATTEMPTS AT TREATMENT ACNE VULGARIS WITH ISOTRETINOIN
Oral isotretinoin is highly effective in treatment of patients with severe acne, but has been concerned with causing occasional depression. Clinicians should be alert to the high prevalence of depression among people with acne. Isotretinoin has many unwanted effects, among which possible unproven effects on mood have to be included. If depression or other mood change occurs, then isotretinoin treatment should be discontinued. If treatment is continued, psychiatric support should be obtained.

PHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF EXERCISE INDUCED OXIDATIVE STRESS
Strenuous exercises greatly increase oxygen consumption in the whole body, especially in skeletal muscles. Large part of oxygen consumption by the body is reduced to H O and ATP, but smaller part (2-5%) of these tremendious increase 2 oxygen consumption results in an increased leakage of electrons from the mitochondrial respiratory chain, forming various reactive oxygen species-ROS (O ˙ˉ, H O i OH˙). TheseROS are capable of triggering a chain of damaging biochemical and 2 2 2 physiological reactions such as oxidative stress and lipid peroxidatio. There is a groving number of informaztions pointing on important role of free radicals as mediators in inflamation and damage of skeletal muscles after strenuous exercise. The mechanism of exercise induced oxidative stress are not well understood. The mitochondrial electron transport chain, polymorphneutrophil and xanthine oxidase have been identified as major source of intracellular free radical generation during and after exercise. Also the interaction of metmyoglobin and methaemoglobin with peroxides may be also an importante source of oxidative stress during exercise.

NEW THERAPEUTIC APPROACH FOR TREATMENT AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (AMD)
Exudative age-related macular degeneration is leading cause of irreversible vision loss in developed countries. Subfoveal localisation of choroidal neovascular membrane is the most difficult form for treatment. At the last three years, the new group of agens well-known as anti-VEGF agens was approved for treatment of exudative AMD. In that purpose, intravitreally administrated agens is recommended. Efficacy and safety of anti-VEGF agens were proved in short-time follow up period.

INHIBINS INHIBINS - QUALITIES, QUALITIES, SIGNIFICANCE SIGNIFICANCE AND HIS ROLE IN PREGNANCY PREGNANCY
Inhibins are glycoprotein hormones of which there are two molecular forms, inhibin A and inhibin B. Classically, inhibin is known to have a negative feedback effect on pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone secretion. The fetoplacental unit produced inhibin throughout pregnancy. Inhibin Ais the predominant molecular form of inhibin in maternal circulation from 4 week of gestation. Although the precise biological function of inhibin Ain pregnancy is unclear, it is evident from recent studies that inhibin A could be a better marker of placental function than human chorionic gonadotropin because of its shorter half-life. The possible clinical application for the measurement of inhibin Ain early pregnancy could be in predicting miscarriage , Down's syndrome, preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction in the first and/or second trimester before the onset of yhe clinical symptoms. Inaddition, several evidences underline the potential role and the clinical usefulness of their measurements in the diagnosis, prevention,prognosis and follow-up of different gestational pathologies such as:threatened abortion, placental tumors, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy,intrautherine growth restriction,fetal hypoxia.The measurement of inhibin Aand activin Ainto the biological fluids of pregnancy will offer in the future further possibilities in early diagnosis,prediction and monitoring pregnancy diseases.

L-CARNITINE IN CLINICAL APPLICATION
L-carnitine is assorted with non-vitamin nutritives (metavitamines) on the grounds of importance to the living process, while itb similar to aminoacids in terms of structure. It has multistructural role in functioning of an organism while one of the most important and best investigated roles is the sphere of energizing metabolism because it is needed for the transport of the longchain fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are subject to a β oxidation. It has widespread clinical application in prevention and therapy of: genetic and secondarycarnithine deficiency, cardiovascular disease, lipid metabolism disorder, carbohydrate metabolism disorder, aciduria of organic acids, renal and liver insuficiency, neuropathy, miopathy, as well as the means for improvent of fitness capacites of sportsmen. L-carnitine is crucial part of organism of mamals, therefore it can be applied in relatively big doses whereby it requires no detoxication in liver, on the contrary, it significaty increases its detoxication capacites.
