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.

Correlation and influence of hyperlipidemia and chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

prevalence to pandemic proportions, but also because vascular complications. Macrovascular complications (macronagiopathy) in diabetes are reduced to a rapid increase atherosclerosis. In diabetes there is a cooperation of multiple independent risk factors for the development of macrovascular complications. Hyperlipidemia are one, and according to some the most important risk factor for atroskleroze and vascular diseases. Diabetic microangiopathy (microvascular complications) is a process that affects the small blood vessels (arterioles, capillaries and venules) a basic change in the thickening of the basement membrane of the blood vessels due to the accumulation of material, also called PAS - positive material. In the study included 64 patients, a close age, were divided into four test grupe.The first group of subjects, which we did the control group consisted of 12 healthy individuals. The second group did the same number of patients with type 2 diabetes without manifest chronic complications. The third study group consisted of 20 patients with diabetes mellitus with developed microvascular complications.In the fourth study group classified 20 patients suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2 with manifest and dominant macrovascular promenama.Glycemia, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), triglyceride and cholesrola were determined by standard biochemical procedures. Chronic complications were diagnosed on the basis of medical examination of corresponding specialties and standardized diagnostic procedures. Mean values of cholesterol from four of our test group were highest in the group of patients with diabetic microangiopathy and 6:34 +/- 1.35 mmol / l. A statistically significant difference in the level of cholesterol tested between our group could not be found. Following a statistically significant difference in the level of triglycerides, we found that it exists between the control and the other three groups (p = 0.02). An analysis of covariance was possible to statistically determine the impact of certain relevant parameters, such as blood lipid levels on the occurrence of vascular complications. Found a statistically significant effect of plasma cholesterol levels on the occurrence of micro and macroangiopat. The aim is to determine the incidence of hyperlipidemia in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, in order to determine the differences in the presence of hyperlipidemia between healthy controls and of the respondents with type 2 diabetes mellitus with and without chronic complications, and to investigate the dependence hyperlipidemia.i chronic complications patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.

Analysis of immunohistochemical characteristics of lymphoid stroma and epithelium of the salivary gland Warthin tumor

The aim of our study was to determine using immunohistochemical method profi and relationship between lymphocytes in lymphoid rich stroma of the Warhins tumors, as well as, the relationship between lymphocytes and tumors epithelial cells. Our retrospective-prospective study we conducted in the Department of Clinical Pathology KBC Zemun on 25 samples of tissue from the parotid gland with WT tumor surgically removed at the Department of ENT KBC Zemun in the period from 2000 to 2016 year. Sections of tumor tissue, fixed in 10% formalin were stained with hematoxylin-eosin standard method, and then immunohistochemical method to: antibody B lymphocytes (CD20) antibody for T lymphocytes (CD3), keratin antibody that marks the basal and columnar epithelial cells (CK7 ) and keratin antibody that marks only the basal epithelial cells (CK5 / 6). We have found that in relation to the gender distribution of all 25 patients, there were more male patients: 16 (64%) men and 9 (36%) women. Immunohistochemical analysis with keratin antibody CK7 showed that luminal columnar cells intensely positive (+++) more than 75% in 23 cases (92%), whereas in 2 cases were intensely positive (+++) in percentages ranging from 25 to 75%. In contrast to the luminal, basal cells were always showed little immunoreactivity (+) antibody to CK7 and in 20 cases in the group of <25% of the cells respectively in the cases of 5% in the group 25-75. Evaluation of the presence, intensity, type and distribution of cells with each other and in relation to the tumor epithelial component would contribute to establishing unclear histogenesis lymphoid stroma at the tumor.

PRIKAZI SLUČAJA CASE REPORTS Le Fort type 3 fracture or not?

Axial non-contrast CT scan is the standard technique in patients with head and/or face injury. The three dimensional CT imaging reconstruction is becoming a gold standard in trauma of maxillofacial region enabling a clear perception of fracture lines and resulting displacement of fracture fragments. Le Fort fractures are fractures of the midface. In Le Fort type 3 fracture the craniofacial disjunction is present. A 91-yearold female had a mild facial trauma as a result of accidental fall. Axial CT scan showed artifacts, but three dimensional CT imaging reconstruction showed typical Le Fort type 3 fracture. Since clinical and 3D CT reconstruction finding were in complete contradiction, we repeated CT scan, which showed normal finding. This case is shows that in an era of incredible progress of neuroradiology, clinical examination still remains the best diagnostic tool.

Epidemiological and clinical picture of scabies in municipality of Podgorica in a Ten-year Period (2006-2015)

The objective of this study is to obtain data on the incidence of scabies in the city of Podgorica, the observed ten-year period (2006 to 2015) and its incidence in relation to age and gender. The second objective was to find out whether the incidence is declining to the observed period.Scabies is contagious, worldwide disease, sporadically or in epidemic form. For the creation of this parasitosis, importance is given to the socioeconomic status, living conditions, sexual promiscuity, the development of resistant populations of the parasite. In developed countries, the incidence shows a cyclical fluctuation, with long, calm intervals, while in developing countries the incidence is constantly high. The disease is spread by close physical contact, often spreading within families and it is subject to mandatory reporting. In this paper, we used the official data of the Institute for Public Health in Podgorica, which included all clinical cases reported for the ten years, a total of 1,141 people, which are classified according to age and sex, for each year. Scabies as parasitism has been reported in the highest percentage among the younger population, aged 0-20 years, more common among males. The largest number of patients is registered in 2012.

Cecal diverticulitis as a rare disease in abdominal surgery

Caecal diverticulosis is a rare cause of ileocoecal pain in western population. It represents 3.6% of all colonic diverticular disease. Signs and symptoms of this disease may mimic acute appendicitis and it is found in one in every 300 appendicectomies. Giving its low incindence the correct diagnosis is usually intraoperative. Eighty-three years old male presented to the surgical admission unit with a two days long history of pain in ileocaecal region. The pain started suddenly, it was constant and worsened on cough and excertion. He was afebrile, denied nausea and vomiting, changes in bowel movements and urination. The abdomen was not distended, it was soft and tender in low right quadrant, without organomegaly. Renal sucussion was negative. There were no signs of hernias. There were traces of normal stool on the rectal examination. Blood tests revealed an elevated total leukocyte count with granulocytosis and elevated parametrs of inflamation. A provisional diagnosis of acute appendicitis was made. Taking into consideration the atypical presentation we decided to do the multislice computed tomography (MSCT) of the abdomen. It revealed a heterogenous soft tissue mass in the area of right hemicolon infiltrating the surrounding fat tissue. The patient was operated on the same day. The procedure revealed a normal looking appendix and caecal diverticulum with an inflamed wall with localized perforation. We performed a right hemicolectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient made a full recovery. Caecal diverticulosis, although a rare disease in the westwrn world should be taken into consideration in patients with pain in right lower quadrant of the abdomen. The management of this disease should be individual, depending on patient's health status and the stage of disease in the moment of diagnosis. Management of patients with confirmed caecal diverticulitis can be conservative or surgical. Surgical treatment include diverticulectomy, ileocaecal resection and right hemicolectomy.

Analysis of discrepancies of core needle biopsy and surgical specimens for accurate evaluation of hormonal receptors and epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status of invasive breast cancer patients

Breast cancer is a serious health problem. It is the most common cancer in women. The aim of this study was to estimate the concordance between ER, PR receptor and HER-2 immunohistochemistry assessment scores in pared CNB (core needle biopsy) and surgical specimens. Histological grade, oestrogen receptor (ER) status, progesterone receptor (PR) status, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) status were evaluated in a blinded fashion in CNB and in surgical excision specimens. Absolute concordance rate between core needle biopsies and surgical specimens for histological grade was 50% with κ value (0,15) for ER 92% with κ value (0,79), PR 88% with κ value (0,73) and for HER2 96% with κ value (0,91). CNB can provide reliable information in evaluation of ER, PR and HER2 status in an invasive breast carcinoma.

A rare case of bladder Rhabdomyosarcoma in the adult patients

Bladder carcinomas are common medical problem of modern society. They represent second most common malignancy of genito-urinary sistem. Rhabdomyosarcoma is on of most common soft tissue tumor in infants and children, arising from immature cells destined to differentiate into striated muscle cells. On the other hand, bladder rhabdomyosarcomas in the adult population are extremely rare and so far only few cases are described in literature. We present a patient in the seventh decade of life, successfully operated from a rare type of embryonic bladder rhabdomyosarcoma, botrioid subtype.

Tubular adenoma of the gallblader

Tumors of the gallbladder are rare. Adenomas of the gallbladder is mostly occur as papillary or tubular. Tubular adenomas of the gallbladder occur in middleaged and old people, and it is extremely rare in children. We present 61 year old woman in whom during an ultrasound examination of the abdomen for pain that lasts a long time discovered a chronic inflammation of the gallbladder and slightly polypoid tumor of the gallbladder. Cholecystectomy was performed based on ultrasonographic findings of polyps in the gallbladder. Macroscopic and microscopic established that it is a tubular adenoma type with intestinal epithelial dysplasia, which clearly indicates that it is adenoma with reliable signs of precancer Finding intraoperative cholangiography was normal, and the postoperative course was uneventful.
