Background: Dihydroergotamine or ergotamine are the most effective preparations for aborting acute attacks of migraine without aura.

Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and safety of ergotamine based five-component drug combination and sumatriptan in the treatment of moderate to severe acute attacks of migraine without aura.

Methods: The study was designed as a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel arm, multi-center clinical trial.

Myometrium Invasion, Tumour Size and Lymphovascular Invasion as a Prognostic Factor in Dissemination of Pelvic Lymphatics at Endometrial Carcinoma.

Objective: The aim of this work is to show the importance of the depth of myometrium invasion, tumour size and lymphovascular invasion as prognostic factors in dissemination of lymphatic nodes at endometrial carcinoma (CE).

Materials And Methods: In the period from 2010 to 2015 at the University Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics in Banja Luka, 221 endometrial cancer surgeries were done (laparatomy 184-83%, laparascopy 37-16,74%). Patients who had uterus bleeding in peri/postmenopause or those whose endometrium thickness was bigger than 5 mm which was established by ultrasound, or those who had in their cavum uteri pathological (PH) diagnosis, underwent fractional curettage (FC) or hysteroscopy in order to obtain pathohistological endometrium diagnosis.

The Effect of Combination Antiviral Therapy in the Treatment of Hepatitis C on the Occurrence of Depressive Disorder in Patients Treated for Hepatitis C in the Republic of Srpska.

Background: The current standard treatment of chronic hepatitis C in Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of pegylated interferon alpha in combination with ribavirin. Interferon therapy has many psychiatric side effects, with depressive symptomatology being most prominent. The aim of the study was to establish the frequency and severity of depression in patients with chronic hepatitis C during two months of the aforementioned therapy.

Correlation of Osteoporosis and Calcium Urolithiasis in Adult Population.

Introduction: Scientific studies indicate that there is a correlation between decreased bone mineral density and the age of the patient, especially in post menopausal women.

Goal: The aim of our study was to assess the connection between osteoporosis and the age of respondents, based on the DEXA findings in patients with calcium urolithiasis.

Material And Methods: The study was prospectively and conducted in University Clinical Center Banja Luka, at the Urology Clinic and Clinic of Internal Medicine.

The effect of clinical, radiographic and functional scores on the total score in the evaluation of congenital clubfoot.

Introduction: The use of radical surgical treatments in treating congenital clubfoot is decreasing. Minimally invasive surgical treatment (MIST) is a way of treating congenital clubfoot, which is a kind of compromise between a radical surgical treatment and non-operational one. A few protocols of different authors McKay, Macnicol, Stevens, Meyer, G.

Atmospheric pressure changes are associated with type a acute aortic dissections and spontaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture in tuzla canton.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate a relationship between seasonal variation and incidence of type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) and spontaneous abdominal aneurysm rupture (rAAA) in Canton Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Patients And Methods: A total of 81 cases, 41 AAD and 40 of ruptured AAA were identified from one center over a 6-year, from 2008 till 2013. In 2012 were admitted (45.

Treatment of Achilles tendon rupture using different methods.

Background/aim: Today there are controversies about searching for the ideal surgical method (conservatively with plaster cast, with open and percutaneous tenorrhaphy) for repairing a ruptured Achilles tendon. The aim of this study study was to examine the results of treating Achilles tendon ruptures in patients by using the following methods: percutaneous suturing, open surgery technique and non-surgical treatment by plaster cast immobilisation.

Methods: Forty two patients treated at our facility in the period August 2003 - September 2010 for Achilles tendon ruptures were included in the study.

Efficacy and safety of tamsulosin in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Introduction/objective: The alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonists represent the most frequently prescribed first line treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tamsulosin is a uroselective alpha1A/alpha1D adrenergic receptor antagonist. The objective of this study is to establish the efficacy and safety of a daily dose of tamsulosin 0.

The activity of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase in normal and pathological endometrium and correlation with the hormonal status of women.

Goal: The goal of the study is to demonstrate the activity of superoxide dismutase mitochondria (MnSOD-e) in normal and pathologic endometrium and correlation of hormonal status of these cases with the MnSOD-e activity.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed 70 female patients, of which 30 of them had bleeding from the uterus (Group A) and 40 women had bleeding from the uterus, as well as a confirmed histopathological diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia or endometrium carcinoma (Group B). In the follow-up we analyzed: age (respondents divided into five categories), parity (without pregnancy and multiple pregnancies), ultrasound (to determine whether there are pathological changes in the small pelvis), hormonal status of women (we took the blood of subjects to determine follicle stimulating hormone-FSH, luteinizing hormone-LH, progesterone-Pr, estradiol-Es), histopathological analysis (the material was collected by exploratory curettage of normal and pathologically altered endometrium), determining the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the blood and endometrium (we determined the activity of MnSOD-e, whose activity was determined in normal and pathological endometrium).
