[Experimental vaccines for sexually transmitted infections].

Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are major global public health problems. Present strategies for prevention have limitations. Vaccines are an attractive addition to the current prevention armamentarium because they provide durable protection and do not require repetitive adherence to be effective.

Contact sensitivity in patients with psoriasis in Vojvodina.

Background: Immunologic studies indicate that psoriasis may represent an organ-integrated response.

Objective: We assessed contact hypersensitivity in plaque-type psoriasis, its frequency, etiology and association with severity of psoriasis.

Methods: Contact hypersensitivity was defined as a positive patch test (PT) to at least one of 44 ubiquitous contact allergens.

Persistent hepatic venous plexus in a patient with Sturge-Weber syndrome.

A patient with extensive facial and intracranial features of Sturge-Weber syndrome was found to have a persistent primitive hepatic venous plexus, characterized by three additional vessels arising from the inferior vena cava, circulating between liver segments, which formed a common trunk in the supra-hepatic region that flowed into the right atrium. To the best of our knowledge, this hepatic finding has not been previously described in association with Sturge-Weber syndrome.

[Presentation of the Department and Clinic of Dermatology and Venereology].

THE DEPARTMENT OF DERMATOVENEROLOGY: The Department of Dermatovenereology was established in 1963, as part of the Department of Internal Medicine with Professor Dimitrije Stanulović as its head. Since 1983, it has been an independent department of the Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad. DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES: The Department participates in undergraduate education of medical and dentistry students (serbian and english language), advanced training of graduate students specializing in dermatovenereology, general medicine, urgent and occupational medicine, pediatrics and subspecialists of oncology.

Influence of different types of electromagnetic fields on skin reparatory processes in experimental animals.

Wound healing is a very complex process, some phases of which have only recently been explained. Magnetic and electromagnetic fields can modulate this process in a non-thermal way. The aim of this research was to compare the influence of constant and pulsed electromagnetic fields and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on wound healing in experimental animals.
