The significance of 4D CT simulation inprecise definition of target volumen lung carcinoma intensity modulated radiation therapy treatment
Implementation of IMRT with 4DCT simulation offers possibility to correlate the respiratory movements and position of tumor volume during radiotherapy treatment. The aim of this study is to quantify movements of primary tumor during IMRT treatment in three axes-Z-superoinferiorSI, X-mediolateral ML, Y -anteroposterior AP.This study included 15 patients with lung carcinomareferred to radical radiotherapy. Contouring of GTV was done in the phases FB- GTV FB, phase 0-GTV0, phase 50- GTV 50, and phase MIP-GTV MIP. Comparison was done with GTV FB as basic value. Evaluation was done in three axis-SI, AP, ML. The movements of GTV in relation to X axis were in the range 0.02-0.47 cm, in relation to Y axis in the range from 0.01-0.56 cm, and according to the Z axis in the range of 0.00-0.79 cm. Based on the results of t-test there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) related to X axis between the upper and lower lobe. There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the upper, lower and middle lobes related to Y and Z axis. The test results which were obtained after the 4D CT simulation and planning of IMRT treatment show the importance of high-quality and precise radiation therapy treatment.

Case Report
Myocardial infarction at the patient with parathyroid adenoma
Parathyroid gland adenoma belongs to the benign tumor group and is the commonest originator of the primary hyperthyroidism which emerges owing to the both increased and uncontrolled secretion of parathyroid hormone due to the one or more parathyroid glands hyperfunction. The paper outlines the woman case, who was at the prison sentence enduring, and as a result of the supraventricular tachycardia and hemodynamic instability she was hospitalized at the Clinical centre, Kragujevac. The obduction diagnosed atherosclerosis of severe degree, left ventricle hypertrophy, nephrolithiasis, whereas the organs’ cut-outs pathohistological examination showed parathyroid gland adenoma. The cause of death of the particular patient was the myocardial infarction. Parathyroid adenoma of the patient was not detected in time because of the state of neglect and her way of life. The primary hyperthyroidism has significantly speeded up the myocardial damage and the blood vessel atherosclerotic changes.

Large lipoma of the larynx and its removal using a laryngofissure approach: Case report
Laryngeal lipomas are a rare form of a benign mesenchymal tumour containing fatty tissue. They can occur at any subcutaneous location part of the body, particularly in the trunk and lower and upper limbs where fat tissue is more abundant. We present the case of a 66-year-old man complaining of long lasting (3 years) discomphort in his throat, with no breathing or glutition problems. CT scans showed a 3.0-cm fat-containing mass involving the left aryepiglottic fold. The patient was taken to the operating room for excision of the mass using a laryngofissure approach. The final pathologic diagnosis was lipoma. We describe a case of large laryngeal lipoma removed through an external surgical approach in order to prevent any possible recurrence or malignant alteration.

Presepsin u akutnim i hroničnim poremećajima bubrežne funkcije
Za postavljanje dijagnoze sepse, najpouzdanije je određivanje PSP u kombinaciji sa drugim markerima sistemske infekcije. Pojedinačno merenje je često bez značaja, tako da je kontinuirano merenje u vremenu, sa trendovima pada ili porasta nivoa markera sistemske infekcije, daleko informativnije. Nivo PSP značajno zavisi od GFR. Kod obolelih od ABI, PSP je solidan pokazatelj sistemske infekcije do težih i prologiranih stadijuma ABI. Kod obolelih od HBI, tumačenje vrednosti PSP je veoma spekulativno, te postoji potreba za definisanjem novihcut-off vrednosti za PSP kod ovih bolesnika. Kod oblelih pod tretmanom HD, pokazan je različit klirens PSP sa različitim dijaliznim membranama. Svakako, nivo PSP se po HD vraća na pređašnji nivo, koji je inače povišen.

Frequency and method of term and preterm twin deliveries and their vitality in general Hospital Novi Pazar in period 2009 – 2013
The aim of this paper is to analyze the method of term and preterm deliveries of twin pregnancies and vitality of twins at birth. The development of two fetuses in the uterine cavity at the same time is considered a twin pregnancy. Today, due to more often examination and proper treatment, 50% of twin pregnancies end in preterm delivery. We used retrospective study to analyze the delivery method and vitality of twins born term and preterm at Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of General hospital Novi Pazar in the five-year period, from 2009 to 2013. There were 10.489 deliveries in the said five-year period. Out of this number, 118 pregnancies were twin pregnancies and they amount to 1.12% of all deliveries which is in line with world’s standards. About 73% of deliveries were term and 27% were preterm twin deliveries. The analysis of twin vitality showed that first-born twins at both term and preterm deliveries are more vital and in better condition. Second-born twins are generally born with lower Apgar score. Due to liberalization for caesarean section indication, a great number of twin deliveries end in caesarean section.

Do women know what is postpartum depression?
Investing in the health of mother and child during pregnancy and postpartum reduces inequality of achieving health care. Maternal and child health indicates health of the population, society as a whole and the effectiveness of health care. Since people in our area knows little and doesn’t talk about the postpartum depression, we tried to identify information how many maternal knows about the postpartum depression, mood disorder, which basis is not only biological, but also the psycho-social nature. Furthermore, we examined the relationship between being informed about postpartum depression and sociodemographic characteristicss and the level of the self-esteem.Instruments used in the study were a questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics and Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale.The results of our study show that 68% of women don’t know what is postpartum depression, and that the knowledge of postpartum depression is associated with women’s education and employment. Correlation of being informed about postpartum depression and selfesteem is not determined.On the basis of these results, we believe that it is necessary that the institutions, experts from different areas and the future mothers learn more about postpartum depression, symptoms, treatment, causes and possible risks because the concern about the health of mothers and babies has to be primary concern of healthy society.
