Menopause may influence negatively the cardiovascular system of women, especially that of smokers. The aim of
our study was to compare lipid levels and left ventricular function in postmenopausal women smokers and non-smokers
during 12 months of oral estrogen replacement therapy. The study group included healthy postmenopausal women, 30
smokers and 32 non-smokers. Before and in 6 month intervals the following parameters were followed: total cholesterol,
LDL-, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure and echocardiographic parameters of systolic and diastolic left
ventricular function. Before therapy non-smokers had higher total and LDL-cholesterol, when compared to smokers. Oral
estrogen replacement therapy significantly decreased levels of total and LDL-cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol,
only in non-smokers. No change in lipid levels was observed in smokers. However, women who smoked longer had higher
triglyceride levels after 12 months of oral estrogen replacement therapy. Echocardiography revealed significant improvement of systolic and diastolic left ventricular function in non-smokers, while improvement of only systolic function in
smokers. Our study has shown that 12 months of oral estrogen replacement therapy may not have a protective role on the
cardiovascular system of postmenopausal women smokers

The research was conducted at the Department of Pathology and Histology of Clinical center of Novi Sad. We analysed the reports of autopsies of newborns (to 28 days old), stillborns and miscarried fetuses in 1991 and 2001. Found
malformations were classified according to organ systems. Results for 1991 show next structure of congenital malformations: 3 malformations of central nervous system (14.29%), 0 malformations of urogenital system (0%), 3 malformations of
gastrointestinal system (14.29%), 1 malformations of musculosceletal system (4.76%), 9 malformations of cardiovascular
system (42.86%), 1 chromosomal defects (4.76%), 4 multiple malformations (19.05%). Results for 2001 have next value: 9
malformations of central nervous system (27.27%), 4 malformations of urogenital system (12.12%), 5 malformations of
gastrointestinal system (15.15%), 0 malformations of musculosceletal system (0%), 4 malformations of cardiovascular
system (12.12%), 2 chromosomal defects (6.06%), 9 multiple malformations (27.27%). By the comperison of the results of
structure of congenital malformations in 1991 and 2001, we can conclude that the differences of cardiovascular and urogenital malformations are statistically important

Planning daily activities, depending on neurophysiological chronotipology, is one of the steps, which should be taken towards the more successful, healthier, high quality life. Aperiod of time within a day during which the individuals of both sexes, different age and profession are intellectually the most optimally efficient, was determined in the paper. The chronotype of a given person was taken into account for that purpose. The research was carried out using a questionnaire. The questioned individuals were divided into four groups: 120 students at the University of Novi Sad, 50 professors at the University of Novi Sad, 50 railway workers and 50 female civil servants employed in administration. The obtained results show the following: the highest percentages of students belong to the morning chronotype. They sleep more than professors do and the optimal time convenient for mental and heavy physical work is from 11 AM to 1 PM. This data should be taken into account while planning student tests. The University professors, both male and female, belong to the morning chronotype. The female professors sleep more than male professors, but are psychologically and physically optimally productive at the same time as the male professors, from 8 AM till 10 AM. In the group of railway workers, the most common are individuals of indifferent chronotype. The highest percentage of women employed in administration belong to the morning chronotype and for their optimal psychological activity they choose the period of time between 8 and 10 AM, as well as the railway workers. According to the opinion of most people that have been questioned, among all of the abovementioned groups, the optimal five-hour working period should begin at 8.30 AM.

Hiposmia or anosmia are common cases after infections. The virus of influenza is most common cause of anosmia
and hiposmia. In a cause of hiposmia and anosmia which are the results of influenza it is need to start with regular and actual theraphy, or in other case anosmia or hiposmia are permanent.

The aim of this study was to describe the oral health care system, it's elements (input, process, output and outcome)
and the sociodemographic and behavioral factors relevant to oral health promotion and the oral health care system and to
provide policy markers with information that can be used to improve oral health and the efficiency of the oral health care
system. The modular approach used in the study to guide questionare design, sampling, data collection and analysis is based on Blum's model of the determinants of health status.The study has 3 sources of data: provider surveys, consumer survey and dental epidemiological survey. Logistic regression and data mining was used to establish which of the system's elements has the most influence on oral health outcomes as well as the system outcome. Taking into account sample entropy (.99bit) and value of assessed Bye's error (51.3%) method data mining - (automatic inductive learning) establish use of topical fluorides - fluoride toothpaste as significant factor for the health outcome. Other established factors are variables from input and they are related to dentist and their attitude towards oral health education.

Aim of the study was to determine presence and incidence of perinatal risk in the newborns presenting with the
signs of IUGR or hypotrophy <5% during a 3-year period, and in this way to point the significance of intrauterine diagnostics and special screening during the labor as to reduce the incidence of these factors. Methods: There were 18412 deliveries at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Novi Sad during the 3-year period out of which number, 560
(3.04%) newborns with IUGR or intrauterine hypertrophy <5%. Results: In the investigated population of 560 newborns
with IUGR or hypertrophy <5%, the following factors of perinatal risk have been recorded: manifest pathological cerebral
signs in 30 cases ( 5.36%), convulsive crises in 6 (1.07%), the crises of apnea and cyanosis in 10 (1.78%), intracranial hemorrhage in 17(3.03%), hyperbilirubinemia in 25 (4.46), hemolytic disease in 6 cases (1.07%), hypoglycemia in 1(0,18%),
disorders of pulmonary ventilation in 26 cases (4.64%) whereas congenital anomalies were evidented in 19 ( 3.39%)
newborn infants. Exanguination transfusion was administered in 4 (0.71%) and transfusion in 9 (1.61%) newborns with
IUGR, i.e. intrauterine hypotrophy <5. Conclusion: The results of investigation show the significant presence of perinatal
risk factors in the population of the newborns with IUGR leading to the increased morbidity in later periods of life. 

Despite of Aspirin use in acute virus infection and reduce of incidence in many parts of the world, the Reye's syndrome is also actual in our country. Reye's syndrome was described for the first time in 1963. It's a non-inflammatory encephalopathy and lipid infiltration of liver and other organs. Etiology is unknown. Some viruses, some chemical compounds,
Aspirin and genetically abnormal answer have the role. The damage of mitochondria appears. Organism is in hard catabolism. The biochemical parameters in serum and liquor were followed at 26 children cured in treated in Pediatrics Clinic in Priština in the period from 1991-1998. The extreme hypoglycemia (<2.2 mmol/L) was in 46,1%, medium hypoglycemia
(2,3-3-,3 mmol/L) in 7,7%. Three times high transaminases appeared in 46% of children. The level of chaemostasis was reduced in 11,5% of children. Half of the total number children had the higher values of urea and creatinine. Hyperproteinorachia in liquor was 27% and hypoglycorachia was 19,3%. Metabolic acidosis was present in 61,5%. Half of the children had convulsions and pneumonia. Enterocolitis, acute renal insufficiency, anemy and urinary infection were also present.

Spinal anesthesia is one of type of central block anesthesia. It is an anesthesia of choice for surgical procedure open prostatectomy. According to our experience this type of anaesthesia is more safe than the other type of central block or regional anaesthesia in a high risk patient for surgical procedure prostatectomy. In a 10 years period we have given in a 242
patients spinal anaesthesia for prostatectomy. From the complication after giving of spinal anaesthesia according to our data
were: 1. post-spinal head-ake (3-5 days) - 5 patients; 2. post-spinal head-ake (vp to 3 days) - 6 patients; 3. paraparesis (to
36 h) - 1 patients; 4. local pain on the back - 1 patients; 5. CVI - 1 patients; 6. MI - 1 patients; 7. mortality rate - 0. We can
conclude that spinal anaesthesia is one of anaesthesia of choice for prostatectomy.

In this work the authors have treated patient with a wide range of skin symptomes and a various clinical sings and
manifestations of this serious bullous skin disease. The complications such as secondary bacterial infections on eroded
areas and swallow difficulties, because mucous membrane of oral cavity was affected, have supplemantary disabled quick
and efficient therapy. Therapeutical problems were presented as weakness, exhaustion, obstruction syndrome and asthmatic
constitution of a patient. The high doses of corticosteroids could provoke a hypertension, but still, with gradually reduced
doses of corticosteroids, supported by local therapy with antibiotics and corticosteroids, we achieved rehabilitation and
healing of our patient

Vitiligo manifests with hypopigmentated and depigmentated plates on the skin and mucous membranes. Etiopathogenic mechanism of disease appearing is not completely explained, though there are theories explaning the appearance of the disease. Precipitant factors, especially psyhotic stress, are very important for the appearance of the disease. The
patients usually come because of cosmetics defects, because vitiligo areas appear mostly on uncovered parts of a body. We
are presenting a girl, with the first sings of the disease appeared when she was seven, located symetrically periorbitally and
in capilicium followed by polyosis. The beginning of the disease might be connected with a psychotic stress.
