Its use is the most common cause of death among drug users. The use of cocaine is associated with acute and chronic complications. Mostly affected system in the human bodys cardiovascular system. Cocaine cardiomyopathy may result from the use of cocaine.This article presents a first case in Republic of Macedonia of 24-year-old male with reversible cocaine-related cardiomyopathy. Clinical presentation, laboratory, X-ray, ultrasound findings and treatment are reviewed.Key words: cocaine, reversible cocaine cardiomyopathy, diagnosis, treatment

The patient TK, 7 years old, had sustained a supracondylar fracture of the left elbow after fall on the left hand with elbow extended. She was admitted in local hospital where the clinical examination and X ray were made and they confirmed the diagnosis of supracondylar fracture of the left elbow (Gartland Type III). She was treated with closed reduction (without anaesthesia) and cast immobilization for four weeks. With poor to no function of the left hand she was send to physical therapy for duration of 10 days, but she did not gain her function of the left hand, almost all active movements of the left hand were impossible and the muscles of the left under arm were hypothonic. Due to loss of left hand function,EMG was made and the EMG result showed acute lesion of the nerves of the left forearm caused by possible nerve compression (n.ulnaris, n.medianus, n. radialis). After four months she was admitted in our Clinic were we perform operation of the left elbow with removing callus formation in which we find entrapped median and ulnar nerves. We also did an osteotomy of the humerus for correction of the angular deformity and fixation with K wire. The patient was put in cast immobilisation after surgery for four weeks. After the removal of the cast and K wire she was sent to intensive rehabilitation. One year after surgery she regain almost all of hand and elbow function with satisfying range of motion. She is now able to fullfil every day function without any help or support.

Aim: aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of two different surgical treatments of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) on successful rate and patient outcome. Methods: Retrospective study on children with primary VUR and their surgical treatment from 1999 to 2014 in the University Clinic for Pediatric Surgery in Skopje. A total of 76 children (114 ureters) with VUR ranging from second to fifth grade were treated surgically, 44 patients (67 ureters) with an open surgical technique and 32 patients (47 ureters) with endoscopic treatment 'STING' procedure. The following parameters were analyzed: duration of the intervention, duration of the hospitalization, the need for antibiotics and analgesic therapy and the need for blood and blood derivatives transfusion. The result of the surgical treatment was also validated. A good result was considered when reduction of VUR by 2 degrees with the endoscopic method or by 3 degrees in the open surgical technique was noticed. Results: Using open surgical technique, patients were hospitalized for an average of 9 days (range from 5 to 13 days). All children received double antibiotic therapy. The need for analgesics lasted for 3 to 4 days. 90% of treated children needed blood and/or blood derivatives transfusion. Success rate with this method was 93.8%. Endoscopic procedure was performed as a one-day surgical procedure. The average duration was 15 minutes. Single, prophylactic dose of antibiotic was ordinated. There was no need for blood and/or blood derivatives transfusion. The overall success of the treatment was about 70%. Conclusion: Open surgical procedure is used for more complicated cases, VUR grade IV-V or by previously failed. Endoscopic, 'STING' procedure was commonly used for patients with VUR grade greater than 2, after previously failed conservative treatment, febrile urinary infection despite antibiotic prophylaxis and/or emergence of new scarring in the renal parenchyma. Patient assessment and decision for what method will be used must always be done individually for each child.

Objective: This study is analyzing the role and significance of the three diagnostic methods (clinical diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and arthroscopy), in establishing accurate diagnosis in knee injuries. The goal is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of each diagnostic method, using arthroscopy as gold standard. Material and Methods: We examined 70 patients with knee injuries. Clinical diagnosis was established using patient's history and positive clinical tests for meniscal lesions, ACL injury and articular cartilage lesions. All patients underwent MRI on a 1.5 T magnet for MRI diagnosis. This was followed by arthroscopy for making the final diagnosis. Results: We analyzed the results of clinical tests for meniscal, ligamentous and articular cartilage injuries of the patients in both groups. Validity of the clinical tests was compared to the results got from MRI and arthroscopy. Accuracy of clinical diagnosis versus MRI diagnosis for medial(69.6% vs. 68.5%) and lateral (84% vs. 82.6%) meniscal lesions was almost identical. Accuracy of clinical diagnosis compared with the accuracy of MRI diagnosis for ACL injuries was higher (91.3% vs. 81.4%). Accuracy (85.5% vs. 72.8%) of clinical diagnosis versus MRI diagnosis for articular cartilage lesions was better. Conclusion: Affirmation of clinical diagnosis in this study is a result of usage of standard clinical signs and tests which are fundamental in establishing clinical diagnosis of knee injuries. MRI is a diagnostic method which enriches the diagnostic process. Arthroscopy is defined as superior diagnostic method, also a gold standard for comparison of the other two diagnostic methods.

The aim of this study is to analyze the health status of the population in Central Serbia, in order to identify priority health problems. As a source of data, authots use the reports about diseases, conditions and injuries services for the health care of preschool children, services for school health, health care services for the adult population and services for the health care of women's health centers in Central Serbia in 2015. On the territory of Central Serbia, leading cause of morbidity in children of preschool and school age are diseases of the respiratory system. Cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases dominate in the structure of morbidity in the adult population, as well as high blood pressure as a single disease, while in the female population the most common are diseases of genitourinary tract.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine perceptions of service providers in the healthcare on their awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS, as well as the relationship of the above parameters and the existence of stigma and discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS. Method: The type of the study was a behavioral cross sectional study. The survey was conducted in 2012, on a representative sample of health workers in Montenegro. The main survey instrument was specifically designed questionnaire that consisted of six parts, out of which one was related to knowledge about HIV and AIDS. Data were analyzed by methods of inferential statistics. Results: More than four out of ten respondents have never attended educational workshops on HIV/AIDS. Research has shown that there is a highly significant statistical correlation between estimates of their own knowledge about HIV / AIDS and previous educations. Almost two-thirds of respondents, who attended some type of education in the field of HIV/AIDS, believe to have a satisfactory level of knowledge in the area. Conclusion: Health care service providers evaluate their knowledge of HIV/AIDS as insufficient. Key words: HIV/AIDS, service providers in health, knowledge.

The method of laser correlation spectroscopy (LCS) is based on the analysis of the spectrum of quasielastic light scatter during coherent monochromatic laser irradiation of micro-particles in biological fluids (blood serum, urine, oropharyngeal washout fluid, tear fluid etc.). Spectrum provides information on dynamic processes in the analyzed system: translation motion of scattering particles and their orientation and conformation dynamics. Special procedures of cluster analysis make it possible to find out to which linkage group a particular spectrum belongs. LCS allows evaluation of sub-fractional composition of biological fluids in a wide range of molecular sizes (from 1 to 10,000 nm), which determines principal novelty of this approach in ophthalmology.
