Operator Sex and Experience Do Not Influence Conization Outcomes in Terms of Cone Volume, Depth or Resection Margins.

Background/aim: Conization in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is associated with longer time required to conceive, a higher risk of preterm delivery, and a myriad of obstetric complications. This study assessed whether operator sex and experience correlate with cone volume, depth, and resection margins in patients wishing to conceive and the general patient population.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective single center cohort study included 141 women who had undergone conization for cervical dysplasia in 2020 and 2021.

infection in Serbia from 2011 to 2020: a success story in the field of One Health.

In Serbia, modern pork production systems with implemented control measures, including the detection of larvae in meat (ISO18743), have eliminated farmed pork from pigs slaughtered at abattoirs as a source of trichinellosis. Epidemiological data from 2011 to 2020 indicate that the number of human cases and the number of infected domestic pigs has decreased significantly. Over the years, pork was the most frequent source of human infection.

Two trichinellosis outbreaks in Serbia - challenging diagnosis due to a potential co-infection with spp.

In Serbia, in most cases, small family outbreaks of trichinellosis occur due to the consumption of untested infected meat from domestic pigs that are raised and slaughtered in the backyards of small individual farms. The aim of this study is to present data regarding 24 patients involved in two outbreaks that occurred in two neighbouring districts in Serbia during a closely related period of time in August 2014. The source of infection in the first outbreak was undercooked pork, while raw pork sausages caused the second outbreak.

Efficacy of an aerosol-resistant pepsin powder used in artificial digestion for the detection of larvae in meat.

Trichinellosis is an important worldwide foodborne zoonosis. The gold standard test to detect spp. larvae in muscle samples of animals intended for human consumption is the artificial digestion method.

Chronic Kidney Disease in Balkan Countries-A Call to Action for Timely Diagnosis and Monitoring.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious illness with important consequences for patients and health systems. Estimation of prevalence and incidence, especially in early stages, is difficult due to a lack of epidemiological studies and consolidated registries. In general, the disease awareness is low, and thus CKD is not timely diagnosed in most cases.
