Razvija se kroz niz prekarcinoznih pra mena epitela koje se nazivaju cervikalnim intraepitelnim neoplazijama. Kroz proces karcinogeneze, genetske i molekularne promene transformišu ćelije cerviksa u invazivni karcinom, koji se može širiti u okolno tkivo, limfne čvorove i druge organe. Naža lost, i pored značajnih napredaka u poznavanju patogeneze i razvoju metoda rane detekcije, karcinom grlića materice je bio i ostaje, jedna od centralnih i vanredno složenih oblasti ginekološke onkologije i predstavlja značajan globalni zdravstveni izazov. Cilj: Osnovni cilj istraživanja bio je istražiti dopri nos medicinskih sestara i babica u prevenciji karci noma grlića materice i prikazati detaljnija razmatra nja o različitim pristupima i metodama koje koriste u svom radu, kao i njihovom angažovanju u informisanju i podizanju svesti među ženama. Metod: M etodologija istraživanja obuhvatila je detaljno pretraživanje relevantnih medicinskih aka demskih baza podataka, uz precizno definisan cilj, što je usmerilo istraživanje i omogućilo identifika ciju relevantnih informacija o doprinosu medicin skih sestara i babica u prevenciji karcinoma grlića materice. Kvalitativna analiza primarnih rezultata sprovedena je radi sinteze podataka, ističući domi nantne teme. Zaključak: Medicinske sestre imaju značajnu od govornost u sprovođenju preventivnih aktivnosti. Efikasna implementacija programa prevencije, uz opsežnu edukaciju iz oblasti javnog zdravlja, mogu značajno doprineti smanjenju incidencije karcinoma grlića materice. Da bi se unapredio njihov doprinos i poboljšao pristup i metode prevencije, neophodna je usklađena saradnja između zdravstvenih profesi onalaca i donosilaca političkih odluka.

Social isolation and loneliness (SI&L), which represent both objective and subjective experiences of social disconnection, have emerged as two key constructs that affect people's health and are particularly relevant to the physical and mental health and longevity of the elderly. The aim of this review is to assess the frequency of SI&L among the elderly, factors related to SI&L, as well as their impact on the quality of life and health of the elderly, and the role of nurses and technicians in their healthcare. We performed a search of the PubMed database using the keywords “loneliness”, “social isolation” and “elderly”. The prevalence of SI&L among the elderly ranges from 10% to 28%. Significant factors related to SI&L are female gender, unmarried status, older age, poor income, lower level of education, living alone, low quality of social relationships, poor self-ass...

Cilj ove studije bio je procena odnosa zdravstvene pismenosti, socio-demografskih karakteristika i zdravstvenog ponašanja žena u oblasti reproduktivnog zdravlja u Srbiji. Istraživanje je sprovedeno kao studija preseka, na uzorku žena starijih od 18 godina, sa teritorije Republike Srbije, stratifikovanom prema regionu, vrsti naselja i starosnim kategorijama. Pri proceni zdravstvene pismenosti žena korišćena je standardizovana verzija evropskog upitnika o zdravstvenoj pismenosti (HLS-EU-Q47). Ograničeni nivoi zdravstvene pismenosti bili su znatno prisutniji među ženama srednjeg životnog doba, među onima koje žive u ruralnim područjima, koje su svoje zdravlje procenile kao loše ili veoma loše i koje su pokazale negativnije zdravstveno ponašanje u oblasti reproduktivnog zdravlja, što ukazuje na potrebu za primenom preventivnih programa i strategije sa ciljem unapređenja nivoa zdravstvene pismenosti.H...

Cilj istraživanja je analiza epidemioloških karakteristika i trenda kretanja porođaja u Srbiji u periodu 2007-2016. godine. Metode: Istraživanje je dizajnirano kao deskriptivna epidemiološka studija. Podaci su preuzeti iz Zdravstveno statističkih godišnjaka za period 2007-2016. godine. U analizi podataka korišćene su opšta stopa fertiliteta, stopa mortinataliteta, stopa rađanja, stopa mortaliteta odojčadi i stopa prevremenih porođaja, a trend stopa analiziran je korišćenjem jednačine linearnog trenda. Rezultati: Prosečna stopa opšteg fertiliteta u Srbiji u periodu 2007-2016. godine je bila 1,5 deteta po ženi. U periodu 2007-2016. godine u Srbiji je registrovano 660.069 porođaja sa ukupno 671.715 rođene dece, od kojih je 4.054 mrtvorođeno (0,6%). Dve trećine (66,1%) mrtvorođene dece je bilo prevremeno rođeno. Sa starošću porodilja raste broj prevremenih porođaja. Od 667.661 živorođenih u porodilištima je umrlo 924 novorođenčadi (0,1%). U posmatranom periodu registruje se kontinuirani trend opadanja broja porođaja (y=68.427-439,99x, R 2 =0,628), kao i broja živorođene dece (y=69.084-421,44x, R 2 =0,591). Trend stopa mrtvorođenih (mortinataliteta) pokazuje neznatno opadanje (y=6,138-0,012x, R 2 =0,016), kao i trend stopa mortaliteta novorođenčadi (y=1,882-50,091x, R 2 =0,683), ali dolazi do porasta trenda opšte stope fertiliteta (y=39,481+0,242x, R 2 =0,544). Prosečna opšta stopa fertiliteta za desetogodišnji period iznosila je 41,1 živorođenih na 1000 žena fertilnog perioda i kretala se od 38,2‰ do 41,7‰. Najveće povećanje stope fertilititeta beleži se u starosnoj grupi 40-44 godine sa 3,8‰ u 2007. godini na 9,9‰ u 2016. godini (2,6 puta više), a zatim u starosnoj grupi 30-39 godina sa 43,2‰ u 2007. godini na 63,0‰ u 2016. godini (1,4 puta više). Beleži se pad stope fertiliteta u starosnoj dobi 20-29 godina sa 80,4‰ u 2007. godini na 72,2‰ u 2016. godini. Najveće stope mrtvorođenosti (mortinataliteta) beleže se u najstarijoj grupi 45-49 godine (23,3‰), a najniža kod osoba mlađih od 15 godina (0,7‰). Zaključak: Mere politike prema revitalizaciji rađanja moraju angažovati sve nivoe društva na izgradnji svesti i moralne odgovornosti prema fertilitetu.

Methods: We used data from the 2013 National Health Survey (NHS) of the population of Serbia. We focused only on the data concerning the population aged 20 and over. The final sample thus included 13,765 participants. The logistic regression was used to examine the socio-economic factors associated with unmet health care needs. Results: According to the data obtained in this study, 26.2% of the population aged 20 and over reported unmet health care needs during the previous 12 months. The multivariate analysis shows that significant indicators of unmet healthcare needs include: gender, age, marital status, level of education, financial and employment status. Conclusion: Females, the elderly and those with the lowest levels of education and household income, as well as those who are divorced and unemployed are at highest risk of unmet healt...

It occurs when it meets ideal conditions for breeding and represents an obstacle to patients. Candida treatment consists of solving the contributing factors and in addition application of certain antifungal drugs, including nystatin and fluconazole. The evaluation of the efficacy of these drugs is important in narrowing the choice of drugs in the selection therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of nystatin and fluconazole in the treatment of candida albicans. For this study two databases were searched: PubMed and SCIndex-in order to find papers that are appropriate in their content in making the conclusion which meet the criteria of validity and significance. In search of papers different combinations of keywords were used based on the obtained studies that had dealt with comparing one of these two antifungal drugs. After analysing all of these studies, a number of studies that fulfilled the criteria of validity and significance reduced to 8. The results of the studies compared have shown that the advantage in the treatment of oral candidiasis has fluconazole. The use of fluconazole in the treatment of fungal infection Candida albicans is completely safe and the patients treated with this drug showed a longer period without recurrence compared to the patients treated with nystatin.

A total of 103 students at the final study year at the Faculty of Medical Science, University of Kragujevac, participated in the research. Two types of questionnaires were used in this research-Beck Depression Inventory-II and Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, version 21. Chi-square test was performed and the results with p-value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between the levels of depression among genders. Twenty-one point four percent of students had depression. The correlation between depression levels and oral health variables showed that frequency of brushing teeth and avoiding smiling were significant between different levels of depression among females. The problems with biting food and problems in social interaction were significant among genders. Depressive feelings were noticed among senior medical students and they affected their selfperceived oral health. Oral health promotion programs targeting the young population could help improving oral health behaviour.

Social stigma, lack of self-interest, or even inadequate approaches of dental doctors towards the unique situation of this group of people this lead to excessive oral health problems. Methods: The bibliographic database PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and Whiley online library were searched using the following text and MeSH as separate key terms and in combination: depression and oral health/dental caries/periodontal disease/tooth loss/utilization of oral health services/and barriers. The content of documents was analysed using qualitative methodology. Results: Twenty-six original studies were included in the review. Level/severity of depression, medication and medical comorbidity are the most important medical barriers influencing the oral health of people diagnosed with depression. Dental fear and anxiety are mostly combined with low oral hygiene and bad oral health. Socioeconomic status, dental insurance, bad habits and education also have important roles in the oral health status of people diagnosed with depression. Conclusion: Including individuals with depression and oral health problems in national health programs, creating specific prevention programs, or subsidizing the cost of treatment are some of the recommendations suggested as solutions. Uvod: Težave z ustnim zdravjem pri ljudeh z diagnozo depresije niso ustrezno prepoznane niti v razvitih državah niti v državah v razvoju. Družbena zaznamovanost, pomanjkanje zanimanja zase ali celo neustrezen pristop zobozdravnikov do edinstvene situacije pri tej skupini ljudi povzročajo čezmerne težave z zdravjem ustne votline. Metode: Bibliografska podatkovna zbirka PubMed/Medline, Googlov učenjak in spletna knjižnica Whiley so bili preiskani z uporabo naslednjega besedila in izrazov MeSH kot ločenih ključnih izrazov in v kombinaciji: depresija in ustno zdravje/zobni karies/parodontalna bolezen/izguba zob/uporaba zobozdravstvenih storitev/in ovire. Vsebina dokumentov je bila analizirana s kvalitativno metodologijo. Rezultati: V pregled je bilo vključenih 26 izvirnih študij. Stopnja/resnost depresije, zdravila in pridružene bolezni so najpomembnejše zdravstvene ovire, ki vplivajo na ustno zdravje ljudi z diagnozo depresije. Tesnoba in strah pred zobozdravstvenimi posegi sta večinoma povezana s slabo ustno higieno in slabim zdravjem ustne votline. Pri ustnem zdravju ljudi z diagnozo depresije imajo pomembno vlogo tudi socialno-ekonomski status, zobozdravstveno zavarovanje, slabe navade in izobrazba. Sklep: Vključitev posameznikov z depresijo in težavami z ustnim zdravjem v nacionalne zdravstvene programe, oblikovanje posebnih preventivnih programov ali zagotavljanje ugodnejših cen storitev so nekatera priporočila, ki so bila predlagana kot rešitev.

Following the outbreaks in many countries including China, a large measles outbreak occurred in Mongolia in 2015. This study reports 2015-2016 measles outbreak incidence, mortality, and complications, according to time, geographical distribution, and host characteristics. Methods: The epidemiological characteristics and trends of measles outbreak were analyzed using the Mongolian national surveillance data reported to the Center for Health Development, Ministry of Health, from January 2015 to December 2016. Results: In total, 23,464 cases of measles including eight deaths were reported in 2015, and 30,273 cases of measles including 132 deaths were reported in 2016, which peaked in June 2015 and March 2016, respectively. Majority of the cases were reported from Ulaanbaatar (35,397, 65.9%). The highest attack rates were 241 per 10,000 population in Darkhan-Uul aimag, and 263 per 10,000 population in Ulaanbaatar. Measles-related death, nosocomial infection, and complications were most frequent among children aged < 1 year. Conclusions: Following no reports of measles since 2011, a large nationwide outbreak occurred in Mongolia, despite the high vaccination coverage in the past. The highest incidence rate was reported in Ulaanbaatar city, and Umnugovi aimag in 2015 and Darkhan-Uul aimag in 2016. The most affected age group were aged < 1 year and those aged 15-24 years. Mortality cases were prominent among children aged < 1 year who were not eligible for vaccination. A systematic vaccination strategy is required to prevent another measles outbreak.

Cilj istraživanja je analiza epidemioloških karakteristika i trenda kretanja porođaja u Srbiji u periodu 2007-2016. godine. Metode: Istraživanje je dizajnirano kao deskriptivna epidemiološka studija. Podaci su preuzeti iz Zdravstveno statističkih godišnjaka za period 2007-2016. godine. U analizi podataka korišćene su opšta stopa fertiliteta, stopa mortinataliteta, stopa rađanja, stopa mortaliteta odojčadi i stopa prevremenih porođaja, a trend stopa analiziran je korišćenjem jednačine linearnog trenda. Rezultati: Prosečna stopa opšteg fertiliteta u Srbiji u periodu 2007-2016. godine je bila 1,5 deteta po ženi.

Najveće povećanje stope fertilititeta beleži se u starosnoj grupi 40-44 godine sa 3,8‰ u 2007. godini na 9,9‰ u 2016. godini (2,6 puta više), a zatim u starosnoj grupi 30-39 godina sa 43,2‰ u 2007. godini na 63,0‰ u 2016. godini (1,4 puta više). Beleži se pad stope fertiliteta u starosnoj dobi 20-29 godina sa 80,4‰ u 2007. godini na 72,2‰ u 2016. godini. Najveće stope mrtvorođenosti (mortinataliteta) beleže se u najstarijoj grupi 45-49 godine (23,3‰), a najniža kod osoba mlađih od 15 godina (0,7‰). Zaključak: Mere politike prema revitalizaciji rađanja moraju angažovati sve nivoe društva na izgradnji svesti i moralne odgovornosti prema fertilitetu.

Osobe koje imaju viši novo zdravstvene pismenosti odgovornije su za svoje i porodično zdravlje, kao i za zdravlje svoje zajednice. Zdravstveni radnici i istraživači, kao i kreatori zdravstvene politike, prepoznali su potrebu da se fokusiraju na zdravstvenu pismenost kao mogući faktor kojim se mogu smanjiti zdravstvene razlike. Međutim, precizna priroda odnosa između zdravstvene pismenosti i faktora koji je određuju i dalje je prilično nejasna.

Methods: We used data from the 2013 National Health Survey (NHS) of the population of Serbia. We focused only on the data concerning the population aged 20 and over. The final sample thus included 13,765 participants. The logistic regression was used to examine the socio-economic factors associated with unmet health care needs. Results: According to the data obtained in this study, 26.2% of the population aged 20 and over reported unmet health care needs during the previous 12 months. The multivariate analysis shows that significant indicators of unmet healthcare needs include: gender, age, marital status, level of education, financial and employment status. Conclusion: Females, the elderly and those with the lowest levels of education and household income, as well as those who are divorced and unemployed are at highest risk of unmet healt...

It occurs when it meets ideal conditions for breeding and represents an obstacle to patients. Candida treatment consists of solving the contributing factors and in addition application of certain antifungal drugs, including nystatin and fluconazole. The evaluation of the efficacy of these drugs is important in narrowing the choice of drugs in the selection therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of nystatin and fluconazole in the treatment of candida albicans. For this study two databases were searched: PubMed and SCIndex-in order to find papers that are appropriate in their content in making the conclusion which meet the criteria of validity and significance. In search of papers different combinations of keywords were used based on the obtained studies that had dealt with comparing one of these two antifungal drugs. After analysing all of these studies, a number of studies that fulfilled the criteria of validity and significance reduced to 8. The results of the studies compared have shown that the advantage in the treatment of oral candidiasis has fluconazole. The use of fluconazole in the treatment of fungal infection Candida albicans is completely safe and the patients treated with this drug showed a longer period without recurrence compared to the patients treated with nystatin.

A total of 103 students at the final study year at the Faculty of Medical Science, University of Kragujevac, participated in the research. Two types of questionnaires were used in this research-Beck Depression Inventory-II and Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, version 21. Chi-square test was performed and the results with p-value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between the levels of depression among genders. Twenty-one point four percent of students had depression. The correlation between depression levels and oral health variables showed that frequency of brushing teeth and avoiding smiling were significant between different levels of depression among females. The problems with biting food and problems in social interaction were significant among genders. Depressive feelings were noticed among senior medical students and they affected their selfperceived oral health. Oral health promotion programs targeting the young population could help improving oral health behaviour.

Social stigma, lack of self-interest, or even inadequate approaches of dental doctors towards the unique situation of this group of people this lead to excessive oral health problems. Methods: The bibliographic database PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and Whiley online library were searched using the following text and MeSH as separate key terms and in combination: depression and oral health/dental caries/periodontal disease/tooth loss/utilization of oral health services/and barriers. The content of documents was analysed using qualitative methodology. Results: Twenty-six original studies were included in the review. Level/severity of depression, medication and medical comorbidity are the most important medical barriers influencing the oral health of people diagnosed with depression. Dental fear and anxiety are mostly combined with low oral hygiene and bad oral health. Socioeconomic status, dental insurance, bad habits and education also have important roles in the oral health status of people diagnosed with depression. Conclusion: Including individuals with depression and oral health problems in national health programs, creating specific prevention programs, or subsidizing the cost of treatment are some of the recommendations suggested as solutions. Uvod: Težave z ustnim zdravjem pri ljudeh z diagnozo depresije niso ustrezno prepoznane niti v razvitih državah niti v državah v razvoju. Družbena zaznamovanost, pomanjkanje zanimanja zase ali celo neustrezen pristop zobozdravnikov do edinstvene situacije pri tej skupini ljudi povzročajo čezmerne težave z zdravjem ustne votline. Metode: Bibliografska podatkovna zbirka PubMed/Medline, Googlov učenjak in spletna knjižnica Whiley so bili preiskani z uporabo naslednjega besedila in izrazov MeSH kot ločenih ključnih izrazov in v kombinaciji: depresija in ustno zdravje/zobni karies/parodontalna bolezen/izguba zob/uporaba zobozdravstvenih storitev/in ovire. Vsebina dokumentov je bila analizirana s kvalitativno metodologijo. Rezultati: V pregled je bilo vključenih 26 izvirnih študij. Stopnja/resnost depresije, zdravila in pridružene bolezni so najpomembnejše zdravstvene ovire, ki vplivajo na ustno zdravje ljudi z diagnozo depresije. Tesnoba in strah pred zobozdravstvenimi posegi sta večinoma povezana s slabo ustno higieno in slabim zdravjem ustne votline. Pri ustnem zdravju ljudi z diagnozo depresije imajo pomembno vlogo tudi socialno-ekonomski status, zobozdravstveno zavarovanje, slabe navade in izobrazba. Sklep: Vključitev posameznikov z depresijo in težavami z ustnim zdravjem v nacionalne zdravstvene programe, oblikovanje posebnih preventivnih programov ali zagotavljanje ugodnejših cen storitev so nekatera priporočila, ki so bila predlagana kot rešitev.

Testing of health literacy was conducted as a cross-sectional study in the period October-November 2012. As instruments of research the following questionnaires are used: Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults and General information questionnaire of respondents who referred to the demographic, social and economic characteristics of respondents, self-assessment of health, use of health services, health knowledge and behavior in the area of reproductive health. Inadequate health literacy level is registered in every ten respondents. The education level of the respondents proved to be a significant predictor of health literacy. Demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the patients (age, occupation, marital status) as well as self-evaluation of the health status were not significantly related to the health ...

Following the outbreaks in many countries including China, a large measles outbreak occurred in Mongolia in 2015. This study reports 2015-2016 measles outbreak incidence, mortality, and complications, according to time, geographical distribution, and host characteristics. Methods: The epidemiological characteristics and trends of measles outbreak were analyzed using the Mongolian national surveillance data reported to the Center for Health Development, Ministry of Health, from January 2015 to December 2016. Results: In total, 23,464 cases of measles including eight deaths were reported in 2015, and 30,273 cases of measles including 132 deaths were reported in 2016, which peaked in June 2015 and March 2016, respectively. Majority of the cases were reported from Ulaanbaatar (35,397, 65.9%). The highest attack rates were 241 per 10,000 population in Darkhan-Uul aimag, and 263 per 10,000 population in Ulaanbaatar. Measles-related death, nosocomial infection, and complications were most frequent among children aged < 1 year. Conclusions: Following no reports of measles since 2011, a large nationwide outbreak occurred in Mongolia, despite the high vaccination coverage in the past. The highest incidence rate was reported in Ulaanbaatar city, and Umnugovi aimag in 2015 and Darkhan-Uul aimag in 2016. The most affected age group were aged < 1 year and those aged 15-24 years. Mortality cases were prominent among children aged < 1 year who were not eligible for vaccination. A systematic vaccination strategy is required to prevent another measles outbreak.
