GENESIS, PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND TREATMENT OF PREMATURE LABOUR
Premature labour is provoked by noumerous causes that represent a combination of socioeconomic, maternal and fetal factors, that usually act together. The introduction of of tocolytic agents in obstetric practice has not appeared to substantially change the incidence of preterm delivery. This problem is still one of the unsolved ones in perinatal medicine. The aim of the study was to present how structural and functional anomalies of placental physiology can be connected with this disarrangement of pregnancy.In our study of 327 pregnancies controled in our unit in 41 (13,26%) symtoms of premature labour were present: contractions, vaginal bleeding, abrevation and dilatation of cervical ostium. With adequate treatment, in form of combination of tocolytics, spasmolytics, hormones, nonsteroid antiinflammatorz drugs, antibiotics and atimycotics we have posponed delivery to term in 34 (82,92%) of cases. The use of appropriate medications, that blocks pahtophysiological mechanisms responsible for preterm labour in most cases we can enable prolongation of gestation and term delivery.

DYSPLASIO EPIPHYSIALIS MULTIPLEX - CASE REPPORT
Dysplasio epiphysialis is congenital disorder of ossification and development of epiphysis that lead to deformation of epiphyses. This disorder of is not so frequent (1). Etiology is unknown. It appears in both sexes in the same percent, sporadically, but in the several members of one family also (2). It appears in two forms, polyarticular and oligoarticular. Clinical feature characterize low growing (150-160 cm) with short clumsy fingers, incrassate joints and limited mobility. Especially characteristic of this disorder is discrepancy between low degree of subjective complaints and marked radiological changes. (1). Laboratory findings most often are not specific. Metabolism of calcium and phosphorus is not changed (2). Radiological is characteristic irregular aspect of joint flanges and articulating surfaces and narrowing of the joint spaces, cartilage sclerosis, cystic changes in joints and, not so often periarticular chondromatosis. Vertebral joints if geared manifest platispondilia and ragged of vertebral joints surfaces (2). Conclusion: Dysplasio epiphysialis multiplex is characterized with specific clinical and radiological feature and appearance in jung ages; it is often substitute with primary generalized osteoarthrosis or rheumatoid arthritis (our case). From those reasons it is very important to recognize the specific nature of this disease for the therapeutic and prognostic purpose.

PRIMARY HYPOTHYREOSIS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES ON CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
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.

POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN SEXUALITY
Women sexuality is a complex phenomenon encompassing biological, psychological, emotional and social aspects. The menopausal changes have undoubtedly a significant influence on sexuality. There is a widespread opinion that older women show a fading interest and desire for sexual relations. However, despite of all unavoidable changes brought about by menopause and elder age, the sphere of sexuality remains still very important. The paper reviews the changes occurring in the sphere of sexuality in the older age, influence of menopausal hormaonal changes, psycho-social factors and general health state in these changes, as well as of the possibilities of treating sexual dysfunctions in the menopausal period.

DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a condition chracterized by a reduced amount of bone which leads to diminihed physical strength of the skeleton and an increased susceptibility to fractures. There are many causes of osteoporosis but the most common by fair is due to the decrese in the amount of bone which occurs after the menopause, the so called postmenopausal osteoporosis. There is no evidence that postmenopausal bone loss itself causes any symptoms and ensuing osteoporosis has therefore been called «the silent epidemic».

IMPORTANCE OF CYTOKINES IN REGULATION OF SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSE
In regulation of specific immune responses the most important role play interleukin-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, inter feron- (INF- ), transforming growth factor- (TGF- ) and lymphotoxin (LT). These signal molecules are produced mainly by T-lymphocytes after recognition of foreign antigens by specific receptors (TCR) placed on plasmalema. Some of mentioned cytokines stimulate proliferation and differentiation of various lymphocyte populations in the activation phase of T cell-de pendent immune responses, while the others activate and regulate the function of specialized effector cells, such as mono nuclear phagocytes, eosinophils, and neutrophils, to eliminate antigens in the effector phase of immune responses. In con trast to most of cytokines which have stimulating action on an initiation and course of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, TGF- has an inhibitory effect on the activation and proliferation of T-lymphocytes and the other leukocyts

THE ROLE OF BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS IN ETIOLOGY OF PRETERM DELIVERY
Ahigher concentrations of microorganisms in the vagina can lead to preterm delivery. Bacterial vaginosis is a well known risk factor of preterm delivery. Aim of this study was to estimate the presence of bacterial vaginosis as a potential cause of preterm delivery relative to the patients with term delivery, as well as to define the type of present bacteria. The results of our investigation showed more frequent presence of bacterial infection of the vagina in the patients with preterm delivery. The following bacteria have been cultured in the group of patients with preterm delivery: Streptocossus agalctiae, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus sp. and Escherichia coli. In prevention of preterm delivery, we recommend a routine screening of pregnant women (such as obtaining smears to bacterial infection) as well as administration of the therapy in case of positive findings, particularly in those presenting a risk for the development of bacterial vaginosis and preterm delivery.

THE MOST FREQUENTLY CARDIAC RHYTHM DISORDERS AT THE SICK OF DECOMPENSATED CHRONIC PULMONARY HEART
Chronic pulmonary heart (CPH) stands for presence of hypertrophy and/or dilatation of right heart ventricle caused by pulmonary hypertension as a consequence of diseases that are damaging lungs function or structure. By chronic pulmonary heart are not considered those hypertrophies of right ventricle which are consequences of left cardiopaths or congenital heart anomalies with skips. During the CPH evolution three stages were formed: a) uncomplicated pneumopathology, b) compensated chronic pulmonary heart and c) decompensated chronic pulmonary heart. The disorders of cardiac rhythm are often at decompensated CPH, which is proved by this scientific work as well. 40 sick people diseased of decompensated CPH are treated in purpose to establish the presence and the characteristics of cardiac arrhythmia at these patients. It is established that the major percentage of frequency is made by sinus tachycardia, atrial extrasystols, and ventricular extrasystols. Of 40 examinees 65% had sinus tachycardia, 37,5% atrial extrasystols, 30% ventricular extrasystols and 20% combined atrial and ventricular extrasystols. This proves us that there is a significant percentage of cardiac rhythm disorder frequency at the sick people of decompensated chronic pulmonary heart.

EVALUATION OF USAGE ANTIINFECTIVE MEDICAMENTS FOR SYSTEMATIC APLICATION ON THE BASIS OF DEFINED DAILY DOSE
Defined daily dose (DDD) is arbitrary chosen technical unit for measuring medicament usage and it is not a recommended therapeutic dose. It is in fact a statistical parameter for monitoring medicaments usage, and it is related to the dose which is usually prescribed for the indication that the medicament was registered for. The aim of this work is to perform a detailed analysis of the extent and structure of the region of South Backa. Antiinfective medicaments in systematic use, according to the obtained data, participate with only 7.96 DDD/1000 inhabitants. The most applied pharmacotherapeutic subgroup with 2.99 DDD/1000 inhabitants is comprised of cephalexine and cephachlor.

WHETHER EXISTED CARDIOCEREBRAL SYNDROME?
Besides big improvement of diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive procedures vascular disease generally and vascular disease of brain remain of biggest importance in total morbidity and mortality. This examination included patients in Urgent Surgery Center “Simonida” Gracanica. In article is represent relationship between brain and heart dysfunctions and it is obvious that cerebral disturbances can cause heart disturbances and also it can be in opposite direction. Well, based on this is very important to make fast and correct orientation: CARDIOCEREBRAL or CEREBROCARDIALSYNDROME. In diagnostic procedure and therapeutic treatment is necessary cooperation between cardiologist and neurologist because in most of these cases we have cardiocerebral or cerebrocardial syndrome. Better treatment patients with brain stroke claim teamwork different specialist.
