The aim of our work was to inquire characteristics of myocardial infarction in diabetic patients.We questioned
prospectively 441 patients, diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was found in 31,3%
patients. Atrial fibrillation was found in 16,7% patients with DM and 7,3% on patients without DM(p<0,05).Ventricular
arrhythmias gr.III was found in 18,8% patients with DM and 15,8% on patients without DM (p>0,05), gr. IV 24,6% vs.
12,9% (p<0,05) and gr.V 18,1% vs.9,9% (p<0,05). Heart failure (NYHA I) was found in 10,9% patients with DM and
10,6% on patients without DM (p>0,05), heart failure NYHA II 13,8 vs.10,6% (p>0,05), heart failure NYHA III 14,5% vs.
5,6% (p<0,05) and heart failure NYHAIV 10,1 vs. 3,3% (p<0,05).Cardiogenic shock was found in 21,7% patients with DM
and 10,2% on patients without DM (p<0,05). QRS scor was found 8,3+-2,9 in patients with DM and 4,5+-1,5 on patients
without DM (p<0,05). In-hospital mortality was found 20,3% in patients with DM and 8,2% on patients without DM
(p<0,05). Post-hospital mortality was found 10,2% in patients wuth DM and 5,1% on patients without DM (p>0,05).
Myocardial infarction in patients with DM have difficulty clinical flow and higher mortality

Very important role in the forensic investigation of mass graves takes forensic anthropology. Anthropologists take
part during the exhumation and later through the investigation and identification procedures. Forensic investigations of
mass graves in Kosovo and Metohija are going on. In this paper we observe all cases that were exhumed and identified during 2001., 2002., 2003. till the 1. 05 2004. In this time 280 dead bodies were exhumed and forensic team did autopsies, but
111 dead bodies were identified. Our aim was to analyze anthropological measurments (gender, age and stature) and compare them with the real state on identified dead bodies. Scientifics all over the world made the record of the very good results
of anthropology work. After our investigation we can say that anthropology is very valuable during the exhumation of mass
graves.

Penetrating injuries of the eye are an important cause of unilateral visual loss. Hemophthalmos is frequently and
serious complication in penetrating eye injuries. We studied a series of 422 cause, children aged 1-15 years, treated from
1989 through 1998. There were 324 (76.78%) boys and 98 (23.22%) girls in the study group, with a mean age of 8 years 4
monats. Complication from penetrating eye injuries with hemophthalmos is noticed in 62 cases (14.69%). 

Most frequent congenital malformations in human are congenital heart disease (30%). In this article we represented basic of their etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic and new therapeutics possibilities. Also we represented three cases of congenital heart disease. These cases we considered as very interesting. First of all, in this article we try to emphasize some aspects of this problem, which is not well known, especially in our environment. This very rare congenital heart disease shows how much diagnostic procedure can be difficult and treatment hard or impossible besides big improvement, which has be done last decades. We must learn much more about congenital heart disease!

We want to present a boy with a several different, but benign disorders. Keratosis pilaris and strophulus infantum are very frequent, esspeciallv in children. Its association is not important. Pseudoacanthosis nigricans is especially associated with obesitas, and then this disorders is benign

Injuries of genital organs caused by electricity are rarely isolated and they begin with injuries of the other parts of a body. We present you a patient with very rare and difficult genital organs injury which brought to a very severe damage and lasting invalidity. The genitals were being carbonized but a patient have to spend the rest of his life with a final perineostomy.

The clinical and metabolic anomalies observed in patients with type 2 diabetes are associated with high risk of cardiovascular disease (particulary coronary heart disease), witch is responsible for 75% of all death in diabetic patients. Diabetic people have cardiovascular risk factors comparable to those of nondiabetics who have had myocardial infarction or stroke. To determine main risk factors for coronary heart desease (CHD) and differentes among diabetics we analyzed 86 patients.Patients in this study attended in Institute of endocrynology,diabetes and matabolic disorders in Belgrade. The diagnosis was based on typical clinical manifestation: high levels of glucose (higher than 6,1mmol/l), high cholesterol and tryglicerides, hypertension and overweight. In the control group we have had 20 adult, healty people without metabolic disorders. We found that diabetics with coronary heart disease have had the higest level of glucose (13,2mmol/l), cholesterol (6,96mmol/l),tryglicerides (2,84mmol/l). Arterial hypertension in the group of diabetic patientes with CHD have had 72,7 %, or 40 patients of 55 patients of whole group. Type 2 diabetes and hypertension share certain risk factors such as overweight, visceral obesity,and possibly insulin resistence. This study strenthgenes the hypothesis that cholesterol and the arterial hypertension have central role in develpoment of CHD, but in non-insulin depended diabetics they associated with metabolic disorders witch play an important role in increasing the risk of coronary heart disease.

Actual hypothesis related to development of the age-related cataract focus the photo oxidative stress as a key process of cataract genesis. It considers that damages in the lens cells, caused by sunlight and oxygen within photodynamic action of the photo oxidative stress, make essence of the cataract genesis process. Although the cataractogenes is primary a local process that flows in a local compartment, oxidative stress is often a systemic event. It relates particularly to the older age, i.e. to the ageing process itself. Even if special regulatory mechanisms of the eye provide appropriate supply of antioxidative elements on the local level, fulfilling of the eye and it's lens with antioxidative elements depends on their systemic availability and distribution. By investigation of concentrations of malondialdehyde, vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione and albumin, and activity of cathtalase and peroxidase in serums of patients with age-related cataract, as well as with comparison of the same elements values in serums of the same age and sex distribution group of people without cataract, we found noticeable differences of the oxidative stress intensity in serums within those two investigated groups.

The thyroid gland produces two major active thyroid hormones, thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The production of these hormones within the thyroid is regulated by thyreotropin (thyroid-stimulating-hormone- TSH). Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of goiter and borderline hypothireoidsm word-widw. In non iodine deficient areas, however autoimmunity is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Destructive therapy by surgery or radioiodine for thyrotoxicosis acounts for approximately one third of all cases excessive iodine (e. g. as e result of chronic ingestion of proprietary cough medicines) may also cause hi pothyreoidsm. Primary hypothireoidsm due to failure much more common than failure secondary to pituitary dysfunction, or tertiary hypothireoidsm due to hypothalamic disease. The symptom of hypothireoidsm are non-specific and may be attributed by bath patient and doctor to ageing the onset usually being insidious. Hypothireoidsm is treated with replacement T4 therapy. The author describe a 55 year-old women with diagnosis of Primary hypothireoidism. The disease had a rarely course with disorders this metabolism lipids and complications here cardiovascular system. 

Chronic appendicitis presents inflammation of appendix with atypical clinical findings, without significant signs
and symptoms. Because of that diagnosing chronic appendicitis presumes a great problem. Indications for operative treatment based on clinical impression are followed with a great number of unnecessary appendectomies. Barium enema can show morphlogic changes of appendix during its chronic inflammation. Our aim was to show values of barium enema in diagnosing chronic appendicitis. Study went prospectively, in period 1999-2001 on Clinic for abdominal and endocrine
surgery, Institute for surgery Novi Sad. It includes 100 patients with symptoms, 50 of them were operated after barium
enema, and other 50 were operated after clinical impression of surgeon. Each appendix was patohistologicaly examined.
Incidental appendectoies were exluded. Of total 1425 appendectomies in three years period, 100 were operatde because of chronic appendicitis. Fifty of them were operated after barium enema, and other 50 were operated after clinical impression of surgeon. Range of years was 15 59 in examined group with average 35,6 years. In control group range was 15 57, with average 32,9 years. Lasting of pain episode more than 12 hours had 94% of patients in examined group, and 72% of patients in control group had painn less than 24 hourrs. During of pain episodes at 92% of patients from examined group was 3 weeks to 12 months, and 86% of patients from control group had pain standing 3-36 weeks. The most common sign on barium enema was finding of coprolites in lumen (52%), followed with unfilled appendix (18%, angulations (10%), distal amputation (8%), segmentation of contrast (8%), and fixated appendix (4%). Intraoperative macroscopic findings were as followed: 40/50 coprolites in lumen, 7/50 fibrous bounds, and 3/50 fibroses of appendix. Patohistologicaly, chronic appendicitis was confirmed at 90% of patients in examined group, and 58% in control group. After surgery, 94% of patients from examined group don't feel the preoperative pain. Barium enema significantly increases of chronic appendicitis. It is non-invasive, and reliable method for showing morphologic changes of chronic appendix. Use of barium enema dereases number of unnecessary appendectomies. Barium enema is suggested for evaluation of patients with chronic pain in right lower quadrant of abdomen, and thereby for diagnosing of chronic appendicitis.
