Favorite colors of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy: pilot study.

Objective: To evaluate the favorite colors of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Methods: Following examination, 50 patients were diagnosed in accordance with the 2005 proposal of the International League Against Epilepsy and the definition of drugresistant epilepsy since 2010. The favorite color examination used a six-color tape and Trycolors, an online color mixing tool.

Therapeutic Modalities in the Treatment of Persistent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Babies: Report of Two Cases.

Background: Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a vascular structure that connects the pulmonary artery and the descending aorta. It plays an important role in the fetal blood flow pattern.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to present two cases from Neonatology of Cantonal hospital in Bihac, with hemodynamically significant ductus, different "timing" of treatment and different therapeutic options.

Tissue Reaction and the Formation of Adhesion after the Use of DS Clip in Laparoscopic Appendectomy.

Background And Objectives: Titanium DS clips are made to secure the appendiceal stump during laparoscopic appendectomy. The assumption is that they behave like stapler clips in the body, being made from titanium. However, the construction and weight of DS clips differs from staplers.

Infantile Sacral Region Hemangioma and Combination Treatment with Propranolol and Topical Timolol: Case Review and Reference Review.

Background: Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are the most common vascular, benign tumors of childhood with a prevalence of 4-5%. Due to intense vasculogenesis, they proliferate during infancy, then involute at an unpredictable rate, extent of involution, and quality of residual tissue. Depending on the location, they may be associated with anomalies of other organ systems (PHACE, PELVIS syndroms).

Haemorrhage Rates After Two Commonly Used Tonsillectomy Methods: a Multicenter Study.

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is a frequently used, low-risk surgical procedure. The post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage occurs rarely, but is a life-threatening complication. Some studies show that the surgical technique affects the haemorrhage rate.

Modern Strategy for Identification of Congenital Heart Defects in the Neonatal Period.

Introduction: Congenital heart defects are the most common congenital anomalies and occur with an incidence from 0.8 to 1% per 1000 live births. In recent years, the pulse oximetry has become a strong candidate for detecting cyanogen congenital heart defects and in combination with routine clinical exam can improve diagnostic of congenital heart diseases.

Brucellosis in children in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period 2000 - 2013.

Aim: To analyse clinical, laboratory and epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in children in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Methods: The study included 246 children aged 0-18 years, who were hospitalized in Clinics and Departments for Infectious Diseases in Tuzla, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Zenica and Bihać in the period 2000-2013, in whom the diagnosis of brucellosis was established based on anamnestic data, clinical features and positive results from blood culture and/or positive results from one of the serological tests.

Results: In this period, a total of 2630 patients, 246 (9.

The importance of heart murmur in the neonatal period and justification of echocardiographic review.

Introduction: Heart murmurs can be functional (innocent) and pathological (organic). Although it is not considered a major sign of heart disease, it may be a sign of a serious heart defect. In most cases the noise is initiation for cardiac treatment.

The influence of cardiopulmonary by-pass on respiratory function in patients who underwent coronary disease surgery.

Aim: The study is designed to show influence of cardiopulmonary by-pass (CPB) on respiratory function in patients who underwent cardiac surgery.

Patients And Methods: With respect on operative technique the patients were divided into two groups consisted of 40 patients, who underwent with or without CPB. On the bases of the hemodynamic measurements and counting alveolar arterial oxygen difference (A-a)DO2, saturation of mixed venous blood (SvO2), direct intrapulmonary shunt (V/Q) and hypoxemic score (PaO2/FiO2) preoperative and postoperative respiratory function in these patients is assumed.

Incarcerated Morgagni hernia in an octogenarian with incidental right-sided colonic malignancy.

We present an incarcerated Morgagni hernia in an octogenarian with incidental right-sided colonic malignancy who was admitted to clinic due to abdominal pain and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. An 85-old male patient had a history of constipation, abdominal distension, pain, vomiting, nausea and radiographic features of bowel obstruction and mediastinal mass in right lower chest. Under suspicion of acute intestinal obstruction due to transverse colon herniation in thorax through Morgagni foramen, emergent laparotomy was performed.

Penile duplication in newborn with multiple anomalies.

We present a case of male, premature born child with multiple anomalies. The physical status was dominated by penile duplication, with additional, abortion scrotum in the median line, without palpable content and omphalocele with semi septum of the anus. By ultrasound examination of internal organs, we found a complex congenital heart anomaly, multiple anomalies in abdomen and micro calcifications in the central nervous system.

Rate of complications and conversions after laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy.

Background And Objectives: Although many advantages of laparoscopic method in regard to open one have been already proved, both surgical methods may cause a certain number of complications. The goal of the study is to answer the question: Is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) safer and more satisfactory method than open cholecystectomy (OC) concerning number, type and seriousness of complications?

Design And Setting: Prospective, the research includes all patients in Bihać Cantonal Hospital during 2007, who had cholecystectomy, laparoscopic or open, because of the gallbladder calculosus.

Methods: The study has included 476 patients who had cholecystectomy and who satisfied standards for this study.
