Burnout Among Private Security Staff in Serbia: A Multicentic Cross-Sectional Study.

Burnout is a special a state of physical or emotional exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity. To evaluate the predictors of burnout among work staff in the seven private agencies for support and defense of persons and their property. We performed a multicentric cross-sectional study that involved representative sample of working staff from Agencies of Private Security in Central Serbia.

Influence of initial treatment on the survival and recurrence in patients with differentiated thyroid microcarcinoma.

Purpose: Differentiated thyroid microcarcinoma (DTM) has a good prognosis and survival, but recurrent disease may appear during follow-up. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of initial treatment including surgery and radioactive iodine (131I) on the survival and recurrence in patients with DTM.

Methods: Between January 1979 and December 2006, 130 patients with DTM were retrospectively evaluated, with a median follow-up of 10 years.

Metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma: clinical management and outcome of disease in patients with initial and late distant metastases.

Objective: Our objective was to analyze the clinical management and the outcome of disease in differentiated thyroid carcinoma with initial and late distant metastases (M1).

Patients And Methods: Radioiodine (131I) therapy was applied in 77 differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with M1 (31 patients with M1-initial and 46 patients with M1-late). The median follow-up of patients was 72.

The importance of age over radioiodine avidity as a prognostic factor in differentiated thyroid carcinoma with distant metastases.

Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) usually has a good prognosis and rarely develops distant metastases. Although it might be expected that avid radioiodine uptake in distant metastases would be associated with a favorable outcome, there are few long-term studies regarding this. The present study was performed to evaluate the influence of radioiodine uptake in distant metastases on the disease-specific survival (DSS) in DTC patients.

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma with distant metastases: probability of survival and its predicting factors.

The purpose was to analyze survival and its predicting factors in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients with distant metastases (M1). Radioiodine ((131)I) therapy was performed in 363 DTC patients from 1977 to 2000. Among 75 patients, 44 patients had M1 at the time of initial therapy and 31 patients had M1, which developed during the follow up.
