nsfer provides better functional results than FCU tendon transfer in irreparable radial nerve damage. The time elapsed from the injury to the performed surgery of the tendon transfer has no effect on the final functional result. There is no surgical tendon transfer procedure that can be recommended as a standard for any patient. Practically, the surgeon must tailor the surgery to the patient’s needs. It is necessary to develop a unique and generally accepted evaluation scheme for the results of tendon transfers that will enable comparisons of results achieved. Both methods can be used for irreparable damage of radial nerve due to any etiology. © 2019 Reuf Karabeg.Introduction Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the male and female population. Surgical treatment of colorectal cancer is based on tumor resection and removal of associated lymph glands. NRD167 mouse Aim The aim of the paper is to present data from a five-year retrospective study of the surgical treatment of colorectal cancer at the Clinic for General and Abdominal Surgery at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo. Methods This is a retrospective five-year clinical trial (2014-2018) of patients with and surgically treated for colorectal cancer at the Clinic for General and Abdominal Surgery at the Clinical Center of Sarajevo University. Results In the 2014-2018 period, n = 11 172 patients were hospitalized at the Clinic, of which n = 732 were surgically treated for colorectal cancer. 69.80% were operated in an elective program. 30.20% were made as emergencies. 51.09% were male patients and 48.36% were female patients. 97.20% were made by open technique. 2.10% operated by minimally invasive procedure. the most common type of colon tumor is Adenocarcinomas are the most common with 79%. Conclusions Better prevention and early detection are required to reduce the incidence of patients, which ultimately leads to more effective treatment and longer survival of colon cancer patients. Operative surgical principles must be adapted to modern trends, minimally invasive procedures (laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery). © 2019 Mirhan Salibasic, Sadat Pusina, Emir Bicakcic, Anes Pasic, Igor Gavric, Edin Kulovic, Ajdin Rovcanin, Semir Beslija.Introduction Preeclampsia is defined as hypertension (systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg) after week 20 of gestation with one or more of the following symptoms proteinuria, organ dysfunction (including renal, hepatologic, hematologic or neurological complications) and in case of stagnation of fetal development. So far, there are no valid clinical tools or tests that can tell with sufficient sensitivity and specificity in early pregnancy which pregnant woman will develop preeclampsia or have unwanted outcomes. Aim To present the properties of biochemical parameter, uric acid, in patients with signs of preclampsia, which was confirmed by Doppler sonography. Methods The study included 60 female subjects in the second trimester of pregnancy who were examined or were hospitalized at the Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical Center University of Sarajevo. Pregnant women who had normal Doppler sonography scan of the uterine arteries in the second trimester of pregnancy were included itart of the study (Z = -4.309; p = 0.001). Conclusion Uric acid values should become part of a broad biochemical range in screening and optimizing the treatment of patients diagnosed with early preeclampsia. © 2019 Edin Medjedovic, Alma Suljevic, Amer Iglica, Admir Rama, Emir Mahmutbegovic, Amela Muftic, Ema Dzihic.Introduction Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is used as anticoagulant in diseases characterized by possible thrombosis, as well as for thromboprophylaxis in surgery. The administration of LMWH preoperatively and postoperatively allows satisfactory thromboprophylaxis of patients undergoing surgery. Their application can reduce the number of platelets. Aim To determine what effect Reviparin has on platelet values postoperatively in patients undergoing open cholecystectomy. Methods The study was conducted at the Clinic for Anesthesia and Resuscitation of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo. A retrospective study was performed that included data analysis for 33 patients undergoing open cholecystectomy over a two-year period. There were 22 male and 11 female patients out of a total of 33 patients. Platelet values from laboratory findings of patient’s medical history were monitored for 5 days. The values found were recorded in a table containing the patient’s first and last name, gender, age and pelet values even during postoperative measurements. Conclusion Platelet values do not change significantly postoperatively with the use of prophylactic doses of Reviparin, after an open cholecystectomy. © 2019 Ismet Suljevic, Suad Basic, Ismana Surkovic, Maida Turan, Ehlimana Musija.Introduction The labor pain is probably the most severe pain a mother experiences in her lifetime and is usually severe and prolonged in women with pregnancy. Aim To evaluate the effects of labor epidural and spinal analgesia on the incidence of cesarean section in painless delivery. Methods This randomized clinical trial was conducted on pregnant women aged 37-42 weeks of pregnancy. Female candidates for painless labor were divided into two groups Epidural Analgesia (EA) and Spinal Analgesia (SA). Patients in the labor epidural group underwent analgesia using marcaine and fentanyl and after fully assuring the normal hemodynamic status of the mother and fetal hearth rate (FHR), labor spinal analgesia was used for other group. Results The average age of mothers was 27.5 years, their mean gestational age was 39 weeks and their mean weight was determined to be 72 kg. Frequency of cesarean delivery in mothers was found as 12.9%. Significantly, the incidence of cesarean section in the labor epidural analgesia group was higher than the labor spinal analgesia group (P = 0.02). In addition, the mean second phase of delivery in the labor epidural analgesia group was significantly higher than the labor spinal analgesia group (P = 0.03). There was no significant in 1st and 5th min Apgar scores between groups in infants (8.6 and 9.6, respectively). Conclusion Labor epidural analgesia and labor spinal analgesia result in a significant reduction in pain due to normal delivery. Due to the similarity of Apgar and arterial blood gas (ABG) in neonates, labor epidural analgesia may serve as an alternative in childbirth delivery. © 2019 Maryam Shokrpour, Parisa Pour Seyed Reza, Mehrzad Sharifi, Alireza Kamali.
