Level of prematurity as a predictor for the activity of retinopathy of prematurity and strabismus.

To evaluate the prevalence of strabismus in premature children after the screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and to determine whether the level of prematurity (birth weight and gestation age) can be used as a predictor for both strabismus development and disease activity. This is a retrospective study, conducted in the Clinic for Eye Disease, section for Pediatric Ophthalmology of the Clinical Centre University of Sarajevo during the period from December 2013 until January 2017. 126 patients were involved.

Correlation between clinical outcomes and patients' satisfaction using tarsoconjunctival - Hughes flap for the reconstruction of eyelid defects.

Aim To examine and quantify patients' satisfaction and correlate with the objective clinical presentation after the treatment and to present a comprehensive literature review on tarsoconjunctival/ Hughes flap technique. Methods A review of more than 159 peer-review articles and a combined retrospective-prospective two-centres case series of 17 patients who underwent a two-stage modified Hughes flap procedure (2019-2021) to repair a lower eyelid defect caused by epithelial cancer was conducted. All patients were followed up for a minimum of six months.

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in Bosnia and Herzegovina: A retrospective cohort study from the largest tertiary care facility.

Background: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is the most common condition requiring surgery in infancy, but the etiology of IHPS is still unclear. The study aimed to analyze the epidemiological and clinical features of the infants with IHPS in our setting and determine the yearly trends in IHPS incidence in the Sarajevo Canton between 2007 and 2016.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed epidemiologic, clinical, and operative data of all infants undergoing pyloromyotomy for IHPS over ten years in the largest tertiary care facility in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Risk and Protective Factors for Pediatric Eye Injuries: A Case-Crossover Study.

: To investigate state- and trait-like risk factors leading to childhood eye injuries controlling for the between-subject difference. This study measured socioeconomic, environmental, behavioral, and injury event characteristics to identify eye injury protective and risk factors.: A retrospective case-crossover study including patients aged 0-18 years old (y.

Evaluation of refractive errors in retinopathy of prematurity screening.

Aim To evaluate the frequency of refractive errors in premature children in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening to find mutual connection of the prematurity level, disease activity and refractive errors. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in the Eye Clinic of the University Clinical Centre Sarajevo, between December 2013 and January 2017. A total of 126 patients of gestational age ≤ 34 weeks and birth weight ≤ 2000 g underwent ROP screening program.

Prevalence and risk factors associated with work-related eye injuries in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Background: Eye injuries are a prevalent workplace injury and cause substantial disability when vision is impaired.

Objective: To examine work-relatedness of demographic, injury, and clinical characteristics of eye injuries in a large clinic in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Methods: We performed a nine-year retrospective study of patients admitted with an eye injury to the Canton Hospital in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzeogvina.

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS IN PRETERM INFANTS IN THE NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.

Background: necrotizing enterocolitis is a serious condition that affects mostly preterm infants, with high mortality rate.

Aim: to estimate the influence of potentially contributing factors of this multifactorial disease.

Methods: the study group included 51 necrotizing enterocolitis infants who were less than 37 week gestation who were hospitalized in NICU during a five year period.

Risk Factors for Retinopathy of Prematurity in Premature Born Children.

Introduction: Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) represent disease of the eye in premature born children which affects immature blood vessels of the retina during their development. The emergence of retinopathy of prematurity depends on the interaction of multiple factors, such as: gestational age, low birth weight, hypoxia, duration of oxygen supplementation, respiratory distress syndrome, twin pregnancy, anemia, blood transfusions, sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage, hypotension, hypothermia, etc. If remain unrecognized and untreated it can cause severe visual impairment and blindness in children, but can also be prevented with timely screening.

Recession Vs Myotomy-Comparative Analysis of Two Surgical Procedures of Weakening Inferior Oblique Muscle Overaction.

Introduction: Inferior oblique overaction (IOOA) can be primary or secondary, isolated or combined to other types of horizontal deviation, mostly with esotropias. Surgical weakening of IOOA means several techniques like; recession, myotomy, myectomy, anteroposition etc.

Goals: we analyzed the effect of inferior oblique muscle surgical weakening comparing two groups of patients with primary hypertropia.

Relation between near work and myopia progression in student population.

Aim: To determine relation between near work and myopia progression in student population. Causes of myopia occurrence are not sufficiently explained.

Methods: This retrospective-prospective, descriptive research included 100 students with verified myopia up to -3 Dsph.

Relation between physical activity and myopia progression in student population.

Aim: To determine the relation between physical activity and myopia progression in student population. Causes of myopia occurrence are not sufficiently explained.

Methods: This retrospective-prospective, descriptive research included 100 students with verified myopia up to -3 Dsph.

[Surgical overcorrection squint angle in extropia related to retinal correspondence relationship].

Purpose: Exotropia is the type of concomitant strabismus with wide clinic symptoms, and sensorial relationships. We have analyzed the patients with different types of divergent strabismus, the condition of sensors before and after operation, and influence of retinal relationships to post-operative result, with regards to long-time stablization of the angle of anomaly and stereo acuity.

Work Method: there were 30 patients examined and surgically treated in the Orthpleotics Department of the Eye Clinic of Clinical Center of Sarajevo University.

[Pathologic ophthalmologic changes in prematurity].

The personal author's experiences has been presented, with regards to the early discovering and adequate preventing of ophthalmology diseases at prematurely born children. Thanks to the development of perinatology, almost every organ can be monitored and functionally examined even before the child is born. Despite all problems, the work of ophthalmo-paediatritians is extremely challenging, because that is the only situation in which embryology of the eye can be seen "In Vitro" and in which the physiological development of the eye's function can been monitored.
