[10 years' of production and use of human rabies immunoglobulin in Yugoslavia].

Application of the rabies immunoglobuline is a compulsory part of the prophylaxis of rabies in all severe, transdermal lesions caused by rabies infected animals. Sylvatic rabies has spread in the past few years throughout the whole Yugoslavia, and human cases of rabies have also been reported in other East European countries. In order to achieve the highest level of rabies prophylaxis, apart from postinfective rabies vaccination, it is necessary to provide passive immunization using specific antibodies against rabies.

A simple morphological score for the quality control of platelet concentrates.

The percentage of platelets that retain discoid form correlate with their post-transfusion viability and therefore they may act as a simple indicator for the quality of the stored platelet concentrates (PCs). The morphological score (MS) of platelets, given by Kunicki, requires the index of different forms of platelets: discoid, spherical, starlike and bizarre. In the present study, we intended to clarify whether the morphological score of discoid platelets alone could serve as a method for the estimation of PCs quality.

[Problems and dilemmas in the testing of genetic characteristics of the blood for the purpose of determining disputed paternity (forensic hemogenetics)].

The work presents certain groups of cases selected from more than 1500 triplets (father-mother-child) we tested from 1979. to 1984., in order to indicate certain dilemmas in making definite conclusions on disputed paternity.
