Introduction:According to the World Health Organization estimates annually in the world die due to CVI every sixth women and 10th man. This paper is the research of the correlation between changes in relative air humidity and stroke (CVA) in the Sarajevo Canton. Included are patients who experienced an acute stroke in the Canton of Sarajevo and treated in the pre hospital phase by the staff of the Institute for Emergency Medicine. Days with stroke and those without cases of stroke were compared within three years and meteorological data for those days were obtained by the Weather Bureau of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Meteorological data include measurements of average humidity every day at 7, 14 and 21 o’clock in three years.Aim:To evaluate the significance of the influence of humidity on the incidence of CVI’s. Show the trend towards CVI in the reporting period and is it correlated with the trend of change in relative humidity in those days. Correlate the incidence of stroke as determined in relation to gender, age and selected climatic parameter.Material and Methods:This article presents a retrospective study. Subjects were patients of Emergency Medical Care Institute in Sarajevo, which in the period from 2004 to 2006 had a CVI. Included are patients who had a working diagnosis of stroke for the first time or as a repeated stroke. Analysis of cases of stroke was carried out by gender, age, days and seasons by descriptive-analytical epidemiological methods.Results:In total were registered 1930 patients during three years period. According to years of research in 2004–635, 2005-616 and 2006 – 679. It was found that when testing the null hypothesis about the effects of humidity in two months with a maximum stroke in the year and days without CVI and relative humidity only in 2005 had a statistically significant effect on the incidence of stroke, while during the other two years of the study there was no impacts. It turned out that the extreme values of relative humidity of the day whether there was a rapid increase or decrees in humidity increases the incidence of stroke in all three years of research.Conclusion:Patients gender had no effect on the incidence of CVI. Seasons had no effect on the incidence of CVI. Most CVI in all three years of research was in relation to the old age and occurred in the older age group 70-79 (41.35%), where it was shown that the age of the patient influences the incidence of CVI. Extremely low relative humidity and extremely high, influence on the increase in the number of CVI. Determined is a slight correlation between the average relative humidity and CVI in single day.
Introduction:Life satisfaction involves cognitive component that allows evaluation of the life and accomplishments of life, and emotional component that includes an evaluation of emotions and mood that followed these accomplishments.Goal:To examine the life satisfaction of young people who attend secondary school, examine the level of satisfaction with life according to sex, to academic achievement, the presence of siblings and to examine the relationship between levels of life satisfaction and risk-taking behaviors.Results and Discussion:The results showed that there was no relationship between life satisfaction and preferences of delinquency, as well as life satisfaction and achieved academic success. The results confirmed the relationship between life satisfaction and sex as well as the relationship between life satisfaction and the presence of siblings in the family.
Introduction:The intention of this work is to research whether the link between the barometer pressure and the cerebrovascular insult (CVI) exists. The stroke is the first cause of non-traumatic disability and third illness by mortality in the majority of available relevant literature.Goals:Goal of the sudy was to research all the cases of the patients who suffered from the acute stroke in the Canton of Sarajevo and those who were treated in the pre-hospital phase by Emergency Medical Institute staff and their working diagnosis was established as CVI ac.Material and methods:The criteria in the research were established for inclusion and exclusion of cases. The days with and without CVI cases were compared with the meteorological data obtained from the Hydro-meteorological Institute of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina . Since the approval was requested and obtained from the Hydro-meteorological Institute, all the meteorological data could be compared. The meteorological data comprise the barometer pressure measuring every day at 7 h, 14 h and 21 h.Results and discussion:In the retrospective study, there will be followed, during three years (2004, 2005 and 2006), the cases of the patients who suffered from the stroke, and, the emergency medical care was offered to them by the side of the Emergency Medical Institute of Canton of Sarajevo staff. All the cases in the Canton of Sarajevo were followed regardless of the place of incidence: whether the help was offered in Institute’s outpatient departments, patient’s flat or at public place. Due to the extensiveness of data (in the analysis comprising three years, there was the total of 1930 cases), the test of normal distribution was used. Since it was about the pre-hospital research, the acute stroke was looked at generally without division by types. The certain diagnostics by types can only be established in the hospital.Conclusion:The results in the research indicate that the extreme values of barometer pressure, regardless of their being increased ones or decreased ones, influence the increase of CVI incidence, while by comparing the average values in the days with CVI and without CVI, they did not have any influence on the CVI incidence.
(1) ZAVOD ZA HITNU MEDICINSKU POMOĆ SARAJEVO, (2) FAKULTET ZDRAVSTVENIH STUDIJA SARAJEVO Sažetak:Uvod: Trovanja ili intoksikacije su patološka stanja nastala kao posljedice djelovanja otrovnih materija pri unosu u organizam bez obzira na koji način su unesene, u kojoj dozi, ili djelovanje materija koje potencijalno nisu otrovne, ali ako se unesu u velikoj (enormnoj) dozi -to postaju. Razlozi koji dovode do trovanja u dječijem dobu su različiti, a među najvažnijim su nedovoljna opšta i zdravstvena prosvijećenost odraslih, kao i nedovoljan rad na primjeni preventivnih mjera. Akutno trovanje u dječijem dobu uvijek je urgentno stanje bez obzira na ispoljenost simptoma i znakova (moguć latentni period sa naknadnim simptomima trovanja). Cilj: Prikazati učestalost akutnih trovanja s obzirom na dob i spol u odnosu na broj ukupno primljenih pacijenata na Pedijatrijsku kliniku u Sarajevu, prikazati učestalost pojedinih otrovnih materija u akutnim trovanjima i prikazati informiranost roditelja o mogućnostima trovanja njihove maloljetne djece, kao i način prevencije, a na osnovu odgovora iz anketnog upitnika. Materijal i metode rada: U ovom radu su analizirana sva akutna trovanja u dječijoj dobi kod djece koja su hospitalizovana na Klinici za pedijatriju Kliničkog centra Koševo u Sarajevu u periodu od četiri godine, od 15. 07. 2010. do 15. 07. 2013. godine, a kojih je ukupno bilo 80. Za ovaj rad korišćena je medicinska dokumentacija Pedijatrijske klinike u Sarajevu. Korišćeni su godišnji protokoli prijemne ambulante, historije bolesti djece koja su zbog akutnog trovanja liječena na Pedijatrijskoj klinici u Sarajevu u periodu od 15. 07. 2010. do 15. 07. 2013. godine. Istraživanje u ovom radu je retrospektivno. Koristili smo grafičko i tabelarno prikazivanje podataka uz upotrebu Worda i Excela. Razmatrani su opći podaci (uzrast, pol, mjesto stanovanja, zanimanje roditelja), agensi kojima su se djeca otrovala, najčešća mjesta gdje se djeca truju. Takođe su analizirani podaci dobijeni anketnim upitnikom od roditelja, koji su izabrani za anketiranje metodom slučajnog odabira. Rezultati: Rezultati ukazuju da u analiziranom periodu nije velika učestalost akutnih trovanja u dječijoj dobi u odnosu na prijem djece u bolnicu iz nekih drugih razloga, a iznose u prosjeku 0,50%. Najčešća su trovanja kod nas, kao i u svijetu, u uzrastu od 1 do 5 godina (75%). Ženska su djeca više zastupljena u akutnom trovanju u ovom istraživanju (63,5%). Najčešća su trovanja lijekovima. Najčešće se truju djeca srednje obrazovanih roditelja. Najčešće se trovanja dešavaju u domaćinstvu. Iz anketnog upitnika se vidi da su roditelji malodobne djece većinom dobro upućeni u vezi sa prevencijom akutnih trovanja. Zaključak: Možemo utvrditi da treba i dalje raditi na edukaciji iz ove oblasti, prije svega roditelja, uže familije, staratelja koji žive sa djetetom, a i same djece, kako bismo još više smanjili incidencu trovanja u dječijoj dobi.
Introduction: Food allergies have been recognized as significant health issue in last two decades. Prevalence is from 3-38 % of self-reported cases, i.e. 1-7% of those that have been diagnosed as allergies. Numerous projects have been undertaken during last years in order to determine prevalence of food allergies, most frequent allergen types, cause of allergies, link with other health problems, methods of diagnosing, risk control management in food industry, adjustment of legislation in accordance to the needs of allergic persons etc. While some countries have done a lot when it comes to this issue, others even do not have yet data on food allergies in their area, and this is the situation in BiH too. RESEARCH GOALS: Establish food allergy prevalence from survey in Sarajevo Canton. Establish frequency of some other allergies in subjects. Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional study on allergies and it was conducted during March and April, 2017 amongst Sarajevo Canton population of both genders and all age groups by random sampling method. Specifically designed survey questionnaire consisting of 16 questions was filled in by 480 subjects. The research was conducted retrospectively. Results: Results of the survey conducted in Sarajevo Canton are: 51% of persons reporting to have some type of allergy, while 20% of that is reported food allergy cases, i.e. 11.67% of diagnosed food allergy cases, in relation to the total number of 480 subjects (100%) who participated in the survey. The most frequently reported allergens are: milk and dairy products, cereals, eggs, peanut, nuts, fish (including mollusks and crustaceans) and eggs. Conclusion: As per obtained results of food allergy prevalence in our research in total surveyed sample of 480 subjects, there are 96 (20%) of subjects, which indicates that the problem of allergies in Sarajevo Canton is significant, with frequency in values characteristic for other regions of Europe and the world. Legislation is harmonized at a regular basis with the EU Acquis communautaire, but there is lack of easily accessible information, that people with allergies could use to facilitate the process of diagnosing, preventing contact with allergens and coping with them in everyday life.
