Treating this systemic infection remains a challenge. Numerous biomarkers have been studied so far as potential prognostic parameters, hematological and inflammation parameters most of all. Aim: Our main goal is to examine the association of homocysteine level with the clinical outcome, as well as whether homocysteine level changes through the course of the disease. Materials and methods: In our research, blood samples were collected from 131 patients who were SARS-CoV-2 positive and were treated at the University Clinical Center of Kragujevac. The inclusion criteria were as follows: men and women above 18 years of age, a signed informed consent for participation in the study, patients SARS-CoV-2 positive for the first time (which was confirmed by a rapid antigen test or a PCR test), treated in hospital and belonging to any of the three COVID-19 severity categories. Blood samples were taken on the first, fifth and tenth day of the hospitalization period and the course of the disease was monitored. Statistical data processing was done using the IBM SPSS Statistics v.21 program. Results: Based on our research, we concluded that homocysteine level changed during the hospitalization period and that it had a growing trend. There was a statistical significance between the levels measured on the first, fifth and tenth day. We showed that the patients suffering from hypertension (HTN) had higher levels of the examined parameter compared to the patients who were not hypertensive. It was also observed that homocysteine levels increased with age. There was a statistical significance between homocysteine levels and the outcome of the disease. Conclusion: Based on our study, we can say that patients with high homocysteine levels (on the fifth day of the hospitalization period) have a worse clinical outcome than patients with lower homocysteine levels. Patients with lower homocysteine levels have a better chance of recovery.","PeriodicalId":286220,"journal":{"name":"Srpski medicinski casopis Lekarske komore","volume":"400 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133356830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mortality from these injuries can be as high as 21%, which is why recognizing them and providing adequate treatment is of great importance. The most common cause of death in the first 24 hours following injury is bleeding. Pelvic fractures range from simple to complex fractures with consequent hemodynamic instability. The aim of this study is to assess current standards of pelvic fracture care, as well as to indicate a possible strategy to improve the final outcome of treatment. Results: When there is no established protocol, the on-duty team of doctors is guided by the guidelines available to them. More recently, DCR has been considered a guiding principle in the care of polytraumatized patients. It is of primary importance to establish bleeding control - using PPP, angiographic embolization or the REBOA method. The use of pelvic bandages is recommended in literature as the primary form of care for pelvic injuries by the emergency service or by a trained person in pre-hospital conditions. External fixation of unstable pelvic fractures is one of the key steps in the DCR protocol. ORIF of pelvic fracture is a definite type of fracture fixation, but it is performed only in hemodynamically stable patients. Conclusion: Due to the anatomical characteristics of the pelvic cavity, pelvic ring injuries represent only a part of the spectrum of polytrauma, therefore the treatment is initially based on the hemodynamic stabilization of the patient (DCR protocol). The treatment of such patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. Placement of an external fixator as part of the DCO protocol has a role in bleeding control and is the method of choice in hemodynamically unstable patients. Definitive pelvic fracture fixation (ORIF) is performed in hemodynamically stable patients, who are not in life-threatening condition.","PeriodicalId":286220,"journal":{"name":"Srpski medicinski casopis Lekarske komore","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122981019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cirkovic","doi":"10.5937/smclk2-34935","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/smclk2-34935","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction/Aim: The global COVID-19 pandemic has long been considered an emergency, with the number of cases growing exponentially, despite constant efforts to control the infection. Although the disease is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, most patients are treated with antibiotic therapy. The long-term effects of such broad antibiotics use on antimicrobial resistance are still unknown and are a matter for concern. The aim of this paper is: to determine, based on the available literature, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of antibiotics; to determine the global situation regarding antimicrobial resistance; to identify key areas where urgent changes are needed. Methods: A systematic review of the current literature on the use of antibiotics in COVID-19 treatment was conducted. The PubMed and MEDLINE databases were searched for papers published between March 2020 and September 2021. Results: Between 76.8% and 87.8% of patients with COVID-19 were treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics were less frequently prescribed to children, as compared to adults (38.5%, compared to 83.4%). The most commonly administered antibiotics were fluoroquinolones (20.0%), macrolides (18.9%), b-lactam antibiotics (15.0%), and cephalosporins (15.0%). Self-medication with antibiotics to prevent and treat COVID-19 has been identified as one of the important factors contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Conclusion: The impact of COVID-19 on global antimicrobial resistance is still unknown and is likely to be unevenly distributed in the general population. Although various antibiotics have been used to treat patients with COVID-19, their role and the need for their application in the treatment of this infection remains to be determined. For now, there are no reliable data as to whether the use of antibiotics in COVID-19 cases without associated bacterial infections has any effect on the course of the disease and mortality.","PeriodicalId":286220,"journal":{"name":"Srpski medicinski casopis Lekarske komore","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124656769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infections are the most common cause of illness and mortality in transplanted patients. The most common pathogens are Staphylococcus and Enterobacteriaceae, causing 25% of bacterial infections, each, followed by Enterococcus andP. aeruginosa. Aim: The aim of the paper is calculating the frequency of bacterial infections in patients enrolled in allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, at the Clinic for Hematology of the University Clinical Center of Serbia, as well as analyzing the epidemiological situation, the frequency of different clinical presentations of bacterial infections, and their effect on overall survival. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 58 patients. The presence of bacteria was determined with standard microbial cultivation from samples. The diagnosis criteria for localized bacterial infection are a positive culture and characteristic clinical presentation. Sepsis is clinically diagnosed by a combination of a positive hemoculture and the existence of systemic inflammatory response. Management of bacterial infection starts empirically and is continued in keeping with antibiogram results. Patient survival was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test. Results: Bacterial infections were registered in 15 (25.9%) patients. The most common pathogens were Gram-negative bacteria (65.2%). The most common clinical presentation was sepsis (59.0%). Bacterial infection lethality was 60%. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed the median value for estimated patient survival in patients without bacterial infection to be 106.0 months (95% CI 85.2 - 163.3), while, for patients with bacterial infection, it was 14.0 (95% CI 8.9 - 19.1). The log-rank test showed a significant difference in the length of survival between these two groups (p < 0.001). Pseudomonas spp. was sensitive to colistin and/or meropenem. Klebsiella pneumoniae was sensitive to colistin. Conclusion: Bacterial infections are common at our clinic and are caused by endogenous opportunistic bacteria. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on the implementation of preventive measures aimed at preventing hospital-acquired infections.","PeriodicalId":286220,"journal":{"name":"Srpski medicinski casopis Lekarske komore","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125170562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this article is to summarize previous research on the epidemiological characteristics, etiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, prevention, and control of the new SARS-Cov-2 infection. The SARS-Cov-2 virus belongs to the group of betacoronaviruses, which are single-stranded RNA viruses. The envelope has a crucial role in the pathogenicity of the virus. A viral infection can cause an excessive immune response in the patient, which is labeled as a \"cytokine storm,\" and whose effect is extensive tissue damage. Three main routes of the transmission of the virus are: droplets, direct contact, aerosol. The incubation period is considered to be 1-14 days. The clinical manifestation ranges from asymptomatic, mild, to severe, and some cases end in death. The main clinical manifestations include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Nasal congestion, a runny nose, a sore throat, headache, myalgia, diarrhea, loss of the sense of taste and/or smell have also been reported. The diagnostic procedures are the following: clinical manifestation, chest X-rays, biochemical analyses, epidemiological anamnesis. A positive nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab (Ag test, and/or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)) is used for etiological diagnosis. The SARS-Cov-2 infection has affected a large number of people and countries around the world. The application of preventive measures, early identification of infected persons, their isolation , and vaccination are currently the most effective mode in the battle against this virus. After the conclusion of the pandemic, it will be possible to estimate the health, social and economic impact of the virus.","PeriodicalId":286220,"journal":{"name":"Srpski medicinski casopis Lekarske komore","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127290601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It presents as pancytopenia or bicytopenia, with or without complete donor chimerism. There are three entities of poor engraftment: poor graft function (PGF), graft failure (GF), and graft rejection (GR). Aim: This study aims to show the frequency of poor engraftment, as well as the frequency of all of its entities individually, among the patients of the Clinic of Hematology of the University Clinical Center of Serbia (UCCS), who underwent allo-HSCT between December 20, 2017 and December 25, 2020, for the purpose of achieving improved management and understanding of this serious complication. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study included 58 patients. Diagnosis of poor engraftment was confirmed by pancytopenia (cut off values: hemoglobin < 70g/L; platelet count < 20 x 109 /L; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 0.5 x 109 /L), for three consecutive days, as of day D+28, with the exclusion of severe graft versus host disease (GvHD) and relapse, with complete donor chimerism in PGF and with incomplete donor chimerism in GF. GR presented as acute rejection of the graft by the recipient with bone marrow aplasia or pancytopenia. Results: Poor engraftment was confirmed in 13 of 58 patients (22.4%).
