. In emergency departments, chest pain is a common concern, highlighting the critical importance of distinguishing between acute coronary syndrome and other potential causes. Our research aimed to introduce and implement the HEAR score, specifically, in remote emergency outposts in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Epidemiological Aspects of Age and Genotypical Occurrence of HPV Infection Among Females of Canton Sarajevo Over a 10-year Period.

Background: Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are one of the most prevalent causes of cervical, anal, and oral cancer, and it is believed that nearly all sexually active males and females have been infected with HPV at some point in their lives.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to highlight epidemiological characteristics of the age and genotypical incidence of HPV infection among females in Canton Sarajevo during a 10-year period.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the period between January 2012 and December 2021 at the medical institutions "Zavod za Ginekologiju, Perinatologiju i Neplodnost "Mehmedbašić" among females who were admitted for a routine gynaecological exam in Canton Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Haemodynamic assessment in simulated operative positions before knee arthroplasty can be useful in deep vein thrombosis prediction.

Purpose: During knee arthroplasty, the leg is placed in several forced positions, which are mainly uncomfortable for all tissue structures in the region, including the vascular structures. Veins have a weaker quality of the wall structure than arteries, so during the forced position morphological and haemodynamic consequences are expected mainly in the venous system. Conditions of safe aseptic environment for the arthroplasty are in collision with routine intra-operative analysis of local haemodynamics in real time.

Ultrasound measurement of cervical length as predictor of threatened preterm birth: a predictive model.

Introduction: The incidence of preterm delivery has been increasing even in developed countries and remains a serious problem for fetuses and neonates. Although many predictors for preterm delivery have been proposed, complete prediction and prevention have not yet been established.

Aims: To examine the potential association between sonographic measurement of cervical length and threatened preterm birth (TPTB) in pregnant woman at 24-36 weeks of gestation.
