Distribution patterns of the metastases of the lung carcinoma in relation to histological type of the primary tumor: An autopsy study.

Introduction: Lung cancer is among leading causes of death worldwide. Different histological types of the lung carcinoma show significant differences in behavior.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the distribution patterns of metastases of different lung cancer histological types in autopsied individuals.

Clinically unrecognized miliary tuberculosis: an autopsy study.

Background: Miliary tuberculosis (TB) usually presents with atypical clinical manifestations; thus it is often recognized only at autopsy.

Objectives: Our objectives were to study the frequency of MT diagnosed at autopsy and determine clinical diagnoses that masked TB, as well as causes of death and comorbidities.

Design: Retrospective study of all autopsies performed between 2008 and 2014.

Prevalence and Correlates of Aggression and Hostility in Hospitalized Schizophrenic Patients.

This study is aimed at identifying the incidence as well as clinical and socio-demographic correlates of aggression in hospitalized schizophrenic patients. We prospectively recruited participants with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text rev.

[Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the urinary bladder].

Among neuroendocrine tumors of the urinary bladder, small cell carcinoma (SCCB) is the most common one. Less frequent is carcinoid tumour and very rare is a large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is a very aggressive tumour, with major frequency in the seventh decade.

International epidemiology of child and adolescent psychopathology ii: integration and applications of dimensional findings from 44 societies.

Objective: To build on Achenbach, Rescorla, and Ivanova (2012) by (a) reporting new international findings for parent, teacher, and self-ratings on the Child Behavior Checklist, Youth Self-Report, and Teacher's Report Form; (b) testing the fit of syndrome models to new data from 17 societies, including previously underrepresented regions; (c) testing effects of society, gender, and age in 44 societies by integrating new and previous data; (d) testing cross-society correlations between mean item ratings; (e) describing the construction of multisociety norms; (f) illustrating clinical applications.

Method: Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) of parent, teacher, and self-ratings, performed separately for each society; tests of societal, gender, and age effects on dimensional syndrome scales, DSM-oriented scales, Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems scales; tests of agreement between low, medium, and high ratings of problem items across societies.

Results: CFAs supported the tested syndrome models in all societies according to the primary fit index (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation [RMSEA]), but less consistently according to other indices; effect sizes were small-to-medium for societal differences in scale scores, but very small for gender, age, and interactions with society; items received similarly low, medium, or high ratings in different societies; problem scores from 44 societies fit three sets of multisociety norms.

Expression of neural cell adhesion molecule in renal cell carcinoma.

Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is important for cell migration and it could be expressed in some renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In recent decades, the incidence of RCC has been steadily rising by 2-4% each year. In this study NCAM expression and correlation with nuclear grade in different RCC were analyzed.

[Reaction time in relation to duration of heroin abuse].

Introduction: Consequences of heroin abuse include organic damage of cerebral structures. The level of impairments is in a direct and positive relation with the length of heroin abuse.

Objective: The aim of this research was the evaluation of the reaction time with heroin addicts with different length of substance abuse.

The effect of heroin on verbal memory.

Background: As a result of long-term heroin abuse we can see impairment of cerebral structures, that leads to specific psychopathological and neuro - physiological deficits in the cognitive and connative areas. There is a positive correlation between the mentioned deficits and the duration of heroin abuse. The memory is a cognitive function highly sensitive to toxic effects of opiates.

AD/HD in the genesis of conduct disorder--does biopsychosocial approach make sense?

There are numerous theories approaching the source of mental disorders (including conduct disorder) from different perspectives - biological, psychological, social and multifactorial. The question that arises is which theory is to be used to explain the issue. In the interpretation of phenomena in psychiatry, Kecmanović discusses possibilities of different approaches (biological, psychological, social and biopsychosocial models) and concludes that none of them provide a complete solution as to how to approach different disorders.

Psychiatric consequences of stress after a vehicle accident.

Background: Vehicle accidents are a common cause of disease and death among people over 30 years of age. Essentially, reaction to stress due to the vehicle accident does not differ from the reaction to other stress factors. There are still no uniform viewpoints about the kind of sequels and their percentage representation after vehicle accidents.

[Current issues in psychiatry].

Introduction: Psychiatry is the branch of medicine concerned with the defining and diagnosing mental disorders, finding ways of treatment, developing methods for determining causes, and conceiving measures for prevention of mental disorders. Psychiatry has greatly advanced over the last two decades. In our country, however, due to prejudice and ignorance, mental disorders are still often considered incurable and alarming by the general public as well as by physicians, and psychiatric patients are stigmatized and marginalized by the society.

Primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of urinary bladder with nine years later renal involvement and absence of systemic lymphoma: a case report.

Aims: Primary bladder non-Hodgkin lymphoma (PBNHL) is very rare, especially as extranodal B-small lymphocytic lymphoma (B-SLL). Also, late isolated renal manifestation of PBNHL is extremely unusual. We report a very rare type of extranodal B-SLL of bladder wall with extremely unusual late isolated renal involvement, clinically manifested by nephrotic syndrome and incipient renal failure.

[Expression of Fas and Fas-L in renal cell carcinoma].

Introduction: The previous investigations revealed that Fas-L expression on tumor cells can be one of the reasons of tumor growth, or tumor regression, with or without activation of the immune response.

Objective: The objective of our study was to investigate the expression of Fas and Fas-L in situ in normal human renal tissue as well as in different types of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) according to tumor grading.

Method: Expression of Fas and Fas-L was examined in 25 RCCs classified according to nuclear grades: G1-G3 and to cell type: 17 clear cells, 3 chromophilics (2 eosinophilics, 1 basophilic), 2 chromophobes and 3 spindle cells.
