This study analyzed 2102 conjunctival lesions excised between 1981 and 2003 at a single tertiary center in Serbia, with the aim of evaluating their histopathological characteristics, anatomical localization, and demographic distribution. Of the total cases recorded, 55.1% were male, indicating a slight male predominance.

Article Synopsis
- Endovascular embolization, particularly using Menox, is shown to be a safe and effective treatment for cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) in a study involving 19 patients over a two-year period.
- Out of the patients treated, 68.4% achieved complete occlusion of their fistulas, with the highest success rates observed in certain anatomical locations.
- Adverse events were rare, with only one intra-procedural issue noted, highlighting the overall safety of using Menox in these procedures.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study highlights the successful use of a "Stent-within-a-Stent" method for treating a giant aneurysm at the basilar artery bifurcation, followed by coil embolization.
- * Three years post-treatment, the patient shows complete neurological recovery and is independently active and employed.
Specialist police tactical groups (PTGs) are involved in situations that extend beyond the capability of general duties police and can include responding to active shooter incidents. Due to the nature of their tasks, these officers typically carry and wear additional equipment which can impart an increased physical cost, for which the officers must be prepared. The aim of this study was to examine the heart rate responses and movement speeds of specialist PTG officers during a multistorey active shooter scenario.

In addition, few studies involved elderly patients and most focused on all-cause mortality and HF-related hospitalization as outcomes. The aim of our study was to determine whether HRQOL is a predictor and an independent predictor of long-term cardiac mortality, all-cause mortality, and HF-related rehospitalization in elderly patients hospitalized with HF.
