CHRONOTIPOLOGY IN PLANNING DAILY ACTIVITIES
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.

SKIN ALERGIC "PRICK" TEST IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE RHINOSINUSAL DISEASES
Aim of this work was to ascertain kind and frequency of skin sensibility to inhalation allergens and determine importance of skin allergic "prick" test. Investigation was accomplished on 141 patients by skin allergic test in vivo with standard "prick" technique. The results of work have showed that allergy is unquestionably present in the rhinosinusal diseases, as well as certain relationship between these diseases and allergic skin "prick" test, but this relationship was insufficient to determine skin allergic "prick" test as enough sensitive and specific diagnostic method for diagnose allergic rhinosinusal diseases. "Positive" allergic skin "prick" test demonstrate patient's hypersensitive reponse on inhalation allergens and existence of allergy, but not the direct connection between this hypersensitive reaction and rhinosinusal diseases. "Negative" allergic skin "prick" test not exclude existence of allergy, and for that, patients which have suspect allergy at the aim of further investigation must be apply other more sensitive and specific diagnostic method.

ACTIVATES OF GLUTATION PEROXIDASE, GLUTATHION AND GLUTATION REDUCTASE IN HEALTHY AND DIABETES (INSULINE DEPENDENT) PATIENTS
Reduced glutathion (GSH), glutathion-reductase (GR) and glutathion-peroxidase (GSH-Px) are significant indicators of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a consequence of increased production of reactive oxygen radicals and/or on the other hand, insufficient antioxidative protection. It is well-known that free radicals have key role in the large number of biological phenomena, such as differentiation, transformation, signal transduction, aging etc., and they are important factors in pathogenesis of various diseases (carcinoma, diabetes, Alzheimer, Parkinson, aterosclerosis). This paper presents results of investigation of content of GSH and activities of GR and GSH-Px in healthy patients and diabetes insulindependent patients between 20 and 75 years of age in the region of Indjija. Correlation between investigated parameters in healthy persons and diabetics was found, as well as with results of similar investigations in other countries. Investigated sample comprised 200 healthy patients (20-75 years) divided into 5 groups, and 80 diabetes patients divided into 4 groups. Every group consisted of equal number of males and females. Above mentioned parameters were determined in hemolysate. Parameters change depending on patient age, and changes are more intense in all patients. Some differences exist in correlation of our results with results obtained in other regions.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MEASLES AFTER INTRODUCING THE VACCINE
Measles are an acute infective disease highly contagious and belongs to the group of rush fevers. The aim of this paper is to examine the epidemiological characteristics of measles in Kosovo and Metohija after introducing the vaccine. The examination was carried out from 1987-1998. Because of the bad success after introducing the vaccine against measles in Kosovo and Metohija, which was not reached the issued minimum of 95% in either year, the measles have kept their epidemiological characteristics that they had in the prevaccinal period. The morbidity rate was in 1989. the highest (215.99 on 100000), and the lowest in 1995 (2.29 on 100000). Mortality rate was between 0-0.66 on 100000. It is very important that in those 4 years there were no dead cases. The cycles are still being registered by measles, with epidemic waves of 3-4 years. Seasons are also preserved, and the top of it is the month of January (291.3 patients on the average). Most patients belong to the preschool age (80.0%). Male children got more often ill (55.1%) than the female children.

THE ANAESTHESIO IN A PATIENTS FOR PROSTATECTOMY IN A PERIOD FROM 1991. YRS TO 2000. YRS
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.

PEMPHIGUS VULGARIS - THE CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS AND COMPLICATIONS - case report
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 - case report
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.

ABNORMALITY OF TWIN PREGNANCY FETUS PAPYRACEUS - case report
The aim of the work is to study the development of twin pregnancy after one of twins died in early pregnancy and
possible negative influence on clotting system of pregnant women. Observation is done on patient DM, 30 years old, and
housewife. She was observed from her first appearance at the department. Personal and family anamnesis was regular. She
had one delivery tree years ago with Cesarean section. In the first ultrasonographic examination we found twin pregnancy
with obvious heartbeats of both twins. After two weeks on control examination we find only one fetus, regularly developed,
and in a separate amniotic cavity a fetus without heart beat with small quantity of amniotic fluid in bizarre position. Patient
was immediately admitted in the hospital. Ultrasonographic examination, as well as a routine laboratory analyses were
repeated every ten days. After 28-th week of gestation we included a cardiotocographic (CTG) control every five days. In
38-th week the birth was finished by cesarean section (indication for operation - previous cesarean section). Afemale child
was born. After delivery, placenta was extracted with membranes, which contained a dead fetus, 12-cm length. After
recovery which lasted seven days patient was dismissed in good condition with healthy baby. An ultrasound examination
proved to be of great help in putting a diagnosis. It is very important to put diagnosis in time, because if we don't do it, we
will probably have a great and heavy complication.
