Histopathological and clinical study of skin cancer of the head and neck
According to the relevant investigations during past decade there is a great increase of malignant skin tumors. By this research we tried to investigate this hypothesis in domestic population and present complicated reconstructive procedure. In this research were included 591 patients with melanomas and carcinomas of head and neck, who were surgically treated at our clinic from 2000. to 2010. Results of this research showed that 50 patients had melanoma and 541 carcinomas of skin. We have found that men are four times more affected by skin facial carcinomas than women. 62% patients with squamous cell carcinoma, who were primary surgically treated, survived more than 5 years. On other hand, 85% patients with basal cell carcinomas survived more than 5 years.

Impact of preoperative administration of finasteride on perioperative bleeding during transurethral vapor resection of the prostate
We investigated whether finasteride given before transurethral vapor resection (TUVRP) treatment has an impact on intra- and postoperative bleeding. Forty-two patients with diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who had prostate volume (PV) > 30 mL underwent TUVRP: group A (n=21) received preoperatively finasteride 5 mg per day for median time of 7 months and group B (n=21) no finasteride. Preoperative evaluation include assessment of International Prostatic Symptom score (IPSS), Quality of Life (QoL), PV, maximum flow rate (Qmax) and postvoid residual (PVR). Patients mean age was 71.4± 2.1 vs 69.8 vs ± 3.4 years, respectively. Median PV was 55.5 ±21.2 vs 57.1 ±28.8 mL, respectively. Twenty-two (52%) patients had complete retention (29% vs 76%) (p<0.001). At baseline mean IPSS, QoL, Qmax and PVR were 18.1±5.9 vs 19.8±5.04, 3.3±1.7 vs 3.3±1.7, 8.1±4.4 vs 6.9±1.6 mL/s, and 146±106.9 vs 151.6±112.1 mL, respectively. The mean operation time was 59±16.8 vs 64±19.2 min, mean volume of irrigation fluid intraoperatively was 14.1±7.01 vs 15.2±8.1 L and postoperatively 7.0±2.1 vs 8.1 ±1.3 L, respectively. Mean blood loss was 312±85.9 vs 425±68.5 mL, respectively. The mean weight of resected tissue was 31.3±5.8 vs 30.75±8.4 gr, respectively. Mean duration of postoperative irrigation was 6.1 ± 4.7 vs 6.2 ±5.1 h, respectively. Thirty-six (85.7%) patients were discharged within 12 h postoperatively and the catheter is removed on 2.0±0.5 vs 2.5 ± 0.6 days, respectively. No patients received blood transfusion postoperatively. At 3 months postoperatively IPSS was 6.7±4.2 vs 5.2 ±2.01 (p<0.001), QoL 1.1±0.9 vs 1.1±0.7, Qmax 18.1±10.3 vs 17.5±8.1 mL/s (p<0.01) and PVR 41±46.1 vs 45±51.3 mL (p<0.05). The present study failed to demonstrate that preoperative treatment of BPH with finasteride did not have significant impact of perioperative bleeding at TUVRP.

Cardiac defect and extracardiac anomalies
The overall survival rate in infants affected by congenital heart disease remains low. The poor outcome may be related to the increased association with extracardiac anomalies and aneupoloidy. Since most types of CHD are now amenable to surgery, it is essential that any fetus with congenital structural heart defect should be completely evaluated, noting in particular congenital extracardiac defects which may adversely affect the prognosis. Noncardiac malformations have been reported to occur in up to 50% of patients with congenital heart disease. The combination of cardiac anomalies with other organ abnormalities appears in genetic syndromes and after exposure to environmental factors. Fetuses with prenatally diagnosed cardiac malformations need to have offer structural abnormalities ruled out. They should be evaluated thoroughly by ultrasound exam, because the detection of an extracardiac anomaly may dramatically affect prognosis. Also, fetuses in which an extracardiac anomaly or chromosome abnormality is diagnosed deserve a complete evolution with full fetal echocardiography. Fetal caryotype analysis should be performed since the risk of aneuploidy approaches 40% in cases of prenatally diagnosed CHD.

OrIGINaLNI radOVI OrIGINaL arTICLEs Nutritivne navike studenata
Pravilan način ishrane je važan deo zdravog stila života i kao takav treba da bude usvojen u najmlađem životnom dobu. Cilj rada je bio da se utvrde navike u ishrani studenatske populacije. Istraživanje je dizajnirano kao studija preseka u kome je učestvovalo 246 studenata Visoke zdravstvene škole strukovnih studija u Beogradu. Korišćen je anketni upitnik iz istraživanja „Zdravstveno stanje, zdravstvene potrebe i korišćenje zdravstvene zaštite stanovništva Srbije” iz 2000. godine, dizajniran od strane SZO. Za statističku obradu podataka korišćene su metode deskriptivne i eksplorativne analize, metode ukrštenih tabela uz primenu Pirsonovog χ2 testa. Analiza je urađena u softverskom paketu SPSS 13.0. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da svakodnevno doručkuje nešto više od polovine studenata, ruča 81,7%, a večera polovina studenata. Mleko i mlečne napitke svakodnevno konzumira po jednu šolju 2/5 ispitanika, dok je sir korišćen 1-2 puta nedeljno. Krompir kao i sve vrste mesa, riba i jaja u ishrani koriste se jednom do dva puta nedeljno. Sveže povrće svakodnevno je uzimala samo trećina studenata, a sveže voće nešto više od trećine. Oko 1/5 ispitanika svakodnevno uzima slatko pecivo i slatkiše. Samo 1/5 koristi crni ražani hleb. Kao najčešći namaz u ishrani studenti koriste margarin, majonez, maslac i kajmak. Od ukupnog broja ispitanika nikada ne razmišlja o svom zdravlju pri izboru načina ishrane 7,3% studenata, ponekad razmišlja 43,5%, često 39,8%, dok 9,3% ispitanika uvek razmišlja o svom zdravlju pri izboru načina ishrane.

Setup ultrazvučnog aparata za optimizaciju slike u pregledu fetalnog srca
Lekar koji učestvuje u prenatalnom skriningu i dijagnostici kongenitalne srčane bolesti mora biti familijaran sa potencijalnim uticajem tehničkih faktora u postizanju najboljih diagnostičkih prikaza srca i njegovih struktura, a sve u okviru prihvatljivih termalnih i mehaničkih sigurnosnih limita ultrazvučnih procedura u obstetriciji. Znanje adekvatne optimizacije gain-a, uvećanja ultrazvučne slike, korišćenje compound imaging-a i harmonic imaging-a su preduslovi kvalitetnog pregleda. Ostali važni faktori koji utiču na pregled i koji treba da se uzmu u obzir su gestaciona starost u momentu pregleda, maternalni telesni habitus, fetalni pokreti i pozicija i primenjena frekvenca ultrazvučnog talasa. Nekad je neophodno da se sačeka optimalni fetalni položajda bi prikazali željene strukture, a da bi se to postiglo nekad se pacijent mora ponovo pregledati nekom drugom prilikom.

Value of preoperativne levels CEA and CA 19-9 tumor markers in patients with colorectal carcinoma compering with number of lymph node metastasis
Lymph node metastasis in patients with colorectal carcinoma is bed prognostic factor. High level of CEA and CA 19-9 tumor markers before surgery have had a high sensitivity and also is a combination of high specification, especially in late stage cases. Considering that, general attention was to proof a correlation between level of CEA and CA 19-9 tumor markers before surgery and number of nodal metastasis in these patients. Our study included 102 patients with colorectal carcinoma. We measured level of CEA and ca 19-9 tumor markers before surgery and compared it with number of dissected lymph node metastasis after surgery as same as comparing with Duke’s stage of carcinoma. Average level of CEA tumor marker before surgery was 44,59 μg/mol. Lowest rate was 0,8 μg/mol ant the higher was 551 μg/mol. Average level of CA 19-9 before surgery was 258, 8696 U/mol. Average number of dissected lymph nodes per patient was 14,62 within average 2,5895 was nodal metastasis. There is a high statistically signification between CEA and CA 19-9 tumor markers level before surgery and level of Duke’s classification stage after surgery. Number of nodal metastasis is correlated with level of CEA before surgery. Level of CA 19-9 before surgery is not statistically significant for number of nodal metastasis. During this examination we noticed a high increasing of CEA and CA 19-9 tumor marker levels before surgery in patients with C2 Duke’s stage with more than 4 lymph nodal metastasis found after surgery. In this patients level of CEA was higher 45,78 μg/ml comparing with patients in C1 Duke’s stage who have had CEA level 6,07 μg/ml. In patients with C2 Duke’s stage average value of CA 19-9 was extremely high – 71 U/ml. High level of CEA and CA19-9 is statistically significant for staging of colorectal malign disease as same as for number of nodal metastasis.

OrIGINaLNI radOVI OrIGINaL arTICLEs Retrospective analysis of perioperative mortality after retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for nonseminomatous testicular tumors
The present study is performed to determine whether retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy (RPLA) perioperative mortality (PM) rates reported from center of excellence [Indiana University: 0% for primary and 0.8% for postchemotherapy (PC) RPLA] are applicable to institution at large. Between 1975 and 2005, 327 assessable patients with nonseminomatous testicular tumors (NSTT) were treated with RPLA: primary in 134 (41%) and PC-RPLA in 193 (59%) patients. The observed PM rates were stratified according to age, clinical stage (CS) and type of RPLA. The median age at RPLA was 28 years (range 16-54) : < 29 years in 194 (56.3%), 30-39 years in 90 (30.3%) and > 40 years in 44 (13.4%) patients. Of 327 RPLA patients, 81 (27.8%) were performed for localized (CS-I), 179 (54.7%) for regional (CS-II) and 57 (17.5%) for metastatic (CS-III) disease. Ten (3.1%) patients died during initial 90 days after RPLA: 1 patient from pulmonary embolism, 2 of chemotherapyrelated toxicity and 7 of progressive disease due to preoperative worse prognostic factors. Of the entire cohort 30, 60 and 90-day PM rate was 0.3%, 1.0% and 1.3%, respectively. PM rate increase with increasing age: < 39 years 0%, 30-39 years 5.0% and > 40 years 9.3% (x2 trend test, P=0.002). PM rate also increased with CS: 0% localized, 2.8% for regional and 8.8% for metastatic disease (x2 trend test, p<0.001). PM rate at primary and PC-RPLA was increased with CS: 0% localized, 2.8% for regional and 8.8% for metastatic disease (x2 trend test, p<0.001). PM rate at primary and PC-RPLA was 0.7% and 3.1% 9P<0.001). RPLA was associated with virtually no or low (2.8%) PM rate in patients with localized and regional disease, respectively. In contrast, the PM rate of 8.8% for patients with distant metastases and group > 40 years of age (9.3%) implies that RPLA for these patients should be performed at centers of excellence, with intent of reducing PM rate.
