Secondary Prevention of Osteoporosis Through Assessment of Individual and Multiple Risk Factors.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a chronic progressive bone disease where the bone tissue resorption exceeds its regenerative capacities. Such a process leads to the reduction of bBMD), and distortion of trabecular microarchitectonics, which creates the basis for an increased fracture risk on a "low trauma" for osteoporosis patients. The notion of low trauma implies a stressor that will not cause a fracture in a healthy person under normal circumstances.

Geriatric Depression in Family Medicine.

Introduction: Elderly persons often suffer from depression, without anyone around them noticing. Depression is more common at physically ill elderly person then at their physically healthy contemporary. It is important mental health problem of developed society, because it is still faintly revealed thus insufficiently treated.

The Frequency of Multifactorial Syndromes in Geriatrics of Tuzla Canton Population.

Introduction: There are four main multifactorial syndromes in geriatrics the so-called "4N", which specifically occur at elderly patients. Listed syndromes often occur related, and they can be the cause and the result of many other syndromes at geriatric patients.

Objective: determine the difference in the assessment of the level of immobility, instability, dependence, urinary incontinence ("4N") in elderly groups.

Efficacy of carbocisteine in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and impact on the quality of life.

Aim To investigate the effects of carbocisteine treatment in the reduction of frequency of productive cough episodes, preventing disease progression and improving the quality of life as well as the tolerability of the administered treatment and patient compliance during the study. Methods This observational, non-interventional, multicenter, cohort study included 501 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who were administrated carbocisteine capsules 375 mg and followed up during the next 15 days. The patients were observed at 3 points, baseline and two additional assessments.

Atherogenic Dyslipidemia and Residual Vascular Risk in Practice of Family Doctor.

Objective: Timely recognition and optimal management of atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) and residual vascular risk (RVR) in family medicine.

Background: The global increase of the incidence of obesity is accompanied by an increase in the incidence of many metabolic and lipoprotein disorders, in particular AD, as an typical feature of obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and diabetes type 2. AD is an important factor in cardio metabolic risk, and is characterized by a lipoprotein profile with low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), high levels of triglycerides (TG) and high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

Assessment of osteoporosis in family medicine obtained by ultrasound densitometry.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density, making bones become less rigid, and therefore susceptible to fractures, either spontaneously or with force, which is lower than otherwise needed for healthy bones fractured. Nearly 10% of the world population and 30% of women after menopause, suffer from osteoporosis. Clinical assessment of osteoporosis in family medicine is key to prevention, early detection and treatment of osteoporosis.

Prevention of diabetes in family medicine.

Conflict Of Interest: none declared.

Introduction: The incidence of diabetes type 2 (diabetes mellitus type 2 - DM 2) is rapidly increasing worldwide. Physical inactivity and obesity are the major determinants of the disease.
