Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed measles cases and virus strains in 2018 from Bosnia and Herzegovina to understand transmission patterns and inform elimination strategies.
- Out of 16 reported measles cases, 75% were unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status, with the highest incidence in children under 14.
- Phylogenetic analysis revealed unique strains of the B3 virus, highlighting the need for improved surveillance and higher vaccination rates to combat the disease effectively.
Aim: To investigate an influence of the concentration of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in serum on the activity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: The IBD patients of both genders (n=60) were divided in two equal groups, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Based on the result of activity index each group was subdivided in two subgroups: active and inactive phase of the disease.
Nitric oxide as a potential biomarker in inflammatory bowel disease.

The aim of this study was to investigate changes in serum nitric oxide (NO) concentration in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) patients and its use as potential biomarker in differential diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) and in disease activity assessment. In 60 patients of both genders - 30 with ulcerative colitis and 30 with Crohn's disease - and 30 controls serum nitric oxide concentration was determined by measuring nitrite concentration, a stable metabolic product of NO with oxygen. Conversion of nitrates (NO3-) to nitrites (NO2-) was done with elementary zinc.

Patients And Methods: 120 fertile female patients were tested for the presence of Ct in the endocervix during two years. The patients represented two risk groups: moderate risk, and low risk group.
