Prevalence of Rotaviruses in the Etiology of Acute Diarrhea in Young Children, Clinical forms, Extraintestinal Manifestations and Complications.

Rotavirus is highly contagious factor with dominant feces-oral transmission. Because it is stable in external environment, transmission clusters are possible by close contact, ingestion of contaminated water or food or contact with contaminated surfaces. It survives within hours and days on hands and contaminated surfaces.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Campylobacter isolates in the Capital of North Macedonia.

Background: Campylobacter infections are typically self-limited, but in cases with severe enteritis, immuno-compromised system and bacteremia, an appropriate antimicrobial treatment is demanding. Our study aim was to determine the isolation rate of Campylobacter among patients with acute enteritis in the capital of North Macedonia and its antimicrobial susceptibility.

Material And Methods: A total number of 3820 patients clinically diagnosed as acute enteritis, were included in the study.

Evidence Based Practice in Using Antibiotics for Acute Tonsillitis in Primary Care Practice.

The increased use of antibiotics for acute tonsillitis is a public health problem. 80% of the antibiotic prescriptions for acute tonsillitis are done in the Primary Care practice (PCP). The inappropriate use of the antibiotic causes bacterial resistance and treatment failure.

Gastrointestinal Colonization with Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci In Hospitalized and Outpatients.

Background: The incidence of infection and intestinal colonization with vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) is increasing in many countries in the last decade. Concerning the difficult antimicrobial treatment of infections caused by VRE, decreasing the incidence and prevalence of these infections is an important factor in VRE-induced morbidity and mortality control.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal colonization with vancomycin resistant enterococci in hospitalized and outpatients, and to determine the genetic base of the vancomycin resistance in VRE isolates.

Evaluation of a rotavirus acute gastroenteritis severity score in hospitalized children over a ten year period in a clinic of infectious diseases, Skopje, R. Macedonia.

Unlabelled: Rotavirus infection is the most common viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract in children with the most severe clinical manifestations and rapidly progressive dehydration, especially in infancy and early childhood. Due to its characteristics of high contagiousness and being widespread in both developed countries and developing countries with a still high fatality rate, active prevention of the disease is recognized as the only successful measure for preventing severe forms of the disease. The assessment of the severity of the clinical picture with the corresponding severity scales, Vesikari or Clark, is essential for interpretation of the success of the applied vaccine.

Impact of active female smoking on controlled ovarian stimulation in intracytoplasmic sperm insemination cycles.

Aim: To examine the impact of smoking among females on controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), at intra-cytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome.

Methods: A prospective analysis of outcomes of 876 women (fresh, non donor cycles) of which 559 (63.8%) were non-smokers, 317 (36.

Recombinant FSH versus HP-HMG for controled ovarian stimulation in intracitoplasmic sperm injection cycles.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to make a conclusion about aplicability of two differnet gonadothropins in COS (rFSH versus HP-hMG). The primary conclusion for the success as a result of COS are the mean number of retrived oocytes, mature oocytes, fertilization rate, mean number of quality embrios, and criopreverzed embrios. The secondary conclusions were clinical pregnancy rate and delivery rates.
