Evaluation of the pain scale during arteriovenous fistula puncture with and without lidocaine gel 2% in patients undergoing haemodialysis in Kosovo.

Aim: this study aims to evaluate the pain scale during Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) puncture in patients undergoing regular haemodialysis sessions with and without Lidocaine gel 2%.

Methods: The study is Cross-Sectional, conducted at the University Clinical Centre of Kosovo - Clinic of Nephrology and Haemodialysis in Pristina, Regional Haemodialysis Centre in Prizren, Regional Haemodialysis Centre in Gjilan and Regional Haemodialysis Centre in Mitrovica, all in Kosovo. In this research, 616 patients were surveyed during AVF puncture and the other group of 232 patients in whom 2% Lidocaine gel was applied before puncture at the fistula puncture site.

Infections from temporary catheters in hemodialysis patients in Kosovo.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency of infections from central venous temporary catheters and the type of a microorganism caused, from January 2017 up to December 2019. This study was performed on patients who were on hemodialysis (HD) through the central temporary venous catheter, right and left femoral vein, right jugular vein, and right subclavian vein.The patients in the HD center in Pristina, Kosovo, were used as a clinical sample.

Comparison of Effect of Leukotriene Biosynthesis Blockers and Inhibitors of Phosphodiesterase Enzyme in Patients with Bronchial Hyperreactivity.

Aim: Blocking effect of leukotriene biosynthesis-zileuton and blocking the effect of phosphodiesterase enzyme-diprophylline in the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma and bronchial increased reactivity, and tiotropium bromide as an antagonist of the muscarinic receptor studied in this work.

Methods: Parameters of the lung function are determined with Body plethysmography. The resistance of the airways (Raw) was registered and measured was intrathoracic gas volume (ITGV), and specific resistance (SRaw) was also calculated.

Maximum Time of the Effect of Antileukotriene - Zileuton in Treatment of Patients with Bronchial Asthma.

Objective: Maximum time of the effect of antileukotriene substances - Zileuton in the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma and increased bronchial reactivity and of the salbutamol as agonist of the beta2 adrenergic receptor studied in this work.

Methods: Parameters of the lung function are determined with Body plethysmography. Raw and ITGV were registered and specific resistance (SRaw) was calculated.

Importance of the adrenergic nerve system in the response of gases in the arterial blood following the provoked bronchospasm.

Introduction: This work, partial pressure of the respiratory gases in the capillary blood (pH, PaO2, PaCO2) was studied, following the protective action of the beta2-drenergic stimulator-Hexoprenaline and alpha2-adrenergic blocker-Tolazoline in the bronchoconstriction caused by a beta-blocker-Propranolol.

Material And Methods: in patients with increased bronchial reactibility. pH, oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), dioxide carbon partial pressure (PaCO2) in the arterial blood, with the assistance of the analyzer IL, following some minutes of sample taking were defined in all patients.

Study of formulation of mild pharmaceutical forms of paracetamol in medical practice.

Introduction: Paracetamol is one of the most used antipyretic- analgesic preparation, which can be found in different pharmaceutical forms and in different doses. Due to its wide utilization in the clinical practice, determination of paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulation is of a great importance since that over dosage with paracetamol may cause the hepatic fulminant necroses and other toxic effects.

Material And Methods: Study has included two formulations of paracetamol suppositories with doses of 125 mg widely used in the paediatric practice.
