Dental Recordkeeping: Practice in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Background: Dental documentation which includes main information about a patient and dental treatment provided is a very important asset of each dental office.

Objective: This research aims to analyze the way of fulfilling and keeping mandatory dental records and periodic reporting forms by doctors of dental medicine in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FB&H).

Methods: The study was observational with a cross-sectional design using a questionnaire as a study tool.

An Overview of Human Resources and Capacity in Health Care Institutions in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Context of Responding to the COVID 19 Pandemic.

Background: The organization of health care system on Cantonal level with the coordination from Federal level represents a real situation with the possibility of decentralization of health care system according to the experiences of developed countries.

Objective: To make an overview of the situation at the primary and hospital health care level with the aim of assessing the existing human resources and capacity of health care institutions in FB&H, with which we entered in COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This retrospective study presents the efficiency of health care in FB&H measured by number of medical doctors, and other medical staff during the time period of five years.

Going beyond health efficiency: What really matters?

Both citizens and policymakers demand the best possible results from a country's healthcare system. It is of utmost importance to accurately and objectively assess the efficiency of a healthcare system and to note the key indicators, where resources are lost, and possibilities for improvement. This paper evaluates the efficiency of health systems in 38 countries, mainly members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, using data envelopment analysis (DEA).

Ascending central canal dilation and progressive ependymal disruption in a contusion model of rodent chronic spinal cord injury.

Background: Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to an insidious decline in motor and sensory function in individuals even years after the initial injury and is accompanied by a slow and progressive cytoarchitectural destruction. At present, no pathological mechanisms satisfactorily explain the ongoing degeneration.

Methods: Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized laminectomized at T10 and received spinal cord contusion injuries with a force of 250 kilodynes using an Infinite Horizon Impactor.

Septations in chronic spinal cord injury cavities contain axons.

Human spinal cord injury (SCI) can result in progressive degeneration that may continue for many years and lead to the formation of highly septated cystic cavities. This hallmark feature has been reproduced in experimental models, but neither its pathogenesis nor clinically relevant features have been fully elucidated. Here, we show for the first time in a rodent model of chronic SCI that the septations spanning cavities contain axons.
