Background/objectives: Adequate knowledge and correct attitudes about the HPV vaccine influence awareness of the importance of preventing HPV-related diseases, which is particularly important for future healthcare professionals. We aim to examine the share of correct answers and the prevalence of different attitudes about the HPV vaccine among active regular students of the Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 to 30 November 2023 using a structured survey questionnaire.
: Burden of cervical cancer in Central and Eastern Europe is higher than in other parts of Europe. We analyzed cervical cancer epidemiology in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska) from January 2016 to December 2020, exploring the role of available sociodemographic factors and healthcare service parameters on incidence and mortality rates, using an ecological approach based on aggregated data. : Incidence and mortality rates are standardized using the method of direct standardization with the World-ASR-W.

- The study examined how the severity and presentation of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) vary among different SARS-CoV-2 variants using a group of 59 patients aged 0-18 years diagnosed with COVID-19 and MIS-C over a year.
- Results showed that most patients were diagnosed during the Alpha (41%) and Delta (32%) periods, and respiratory symptoms were notably common in the Delta variant group.
- However, the study found no significant differences in overall symptoms, lab results, treatment, or long-term outcomes across the different variant groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the parasitological conditions of wild ruminants in Vojvodina over four years, focusing on fecal samples from 289 deer (158 red deer and 131 roe deer).
- Researchers identified various parasites, including protozoa, nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes, verifying both single and mixed infections through coprological diagnostic methods.
- The high prevalence rates (89.77% and 92.85% in red and roe deer, respectively, in one hunting ground) highlight the need for health protection programs and control strategies for managing parasitic infections in wild ruminants, which is crucial for hunting sustainability and public health.
Article Synopsis
- The study reports the first successful in-vivo use of a new low-field MRI scanner that can rotate, applying the magic angle effect to better visualize collagen structures in knee ligaments and the meniscus.
- The researchers developed a transverse field open magnet MRI system and conducted tests on healthy volunteers, focusing on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus, capturing detailed images of collagen fibers.
- The results demonstrated that this new method produced high-quality, in-vivo images comparable to traditional MRI used on excised specimens, indicating the potential for better imaging of joint injuries and diseases in a more accessible way.
