Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional approach was used with health care students of the medical shool, midwives in their practice, and women visiting a chosen general practitioner as respondents. , 2012). Due to high prevalence of the cervical cancer in Serbia, this study has been designed to examine differences in the level of knowledge of the cervical cancer among female students of health care; midwives and women (patients in primary health care) as well as its application in prevention practice. The aim of the study was to examine differences in the level of knowledge among the female Higher Medical School students, midwives in their practice and women visiting their chosen general practitioner in primary health care.

Three groups of the respondents were formed: the first one of female students of the College of Health Studies in Cuprija, Department for Medical Nurses-Midwives; the second one of midwives with completed Secondary

H umani Papiloma Virus (HPV) predstavlja ogroman zdravstveni problem, ne samo kod nas, već i u svetu, obzirom da je HPV uzročnik cervikalnog karcinoma i jedna od najčešćih polno prenosivih infekcija. Po podacima za 2010. godinu rak grlića materice je bio treći najčešći karcinom kod žena u svetu, sa incidencijom od 7.9 na 100 000 žena. Većina (oko 85%) novootkrivenih slučajeva obolevanja od raka grlića materice je u manje razvijenim regionima sveta. [1] Srbija sa incidencijom od 24.1 na 100, 000 žena ima najveću učestalost raka grlića materice u odnosu na sve druge republike bivše Jugoslavije (osim Makedonije) i jednu od najvećih među zemljama jugoistočne Evrope.Rak grlića materice se rangira kao četvrti najčešći karcinom kod žena u Srbiji i drugi najčešći kod žena između 15 i 44 godine starosti [2]. Kada se radi o mortalitetu od raka grlića materice, Srbija je sa

Background: In the etiology of cervical cancer not only HPV infection is important, but also other factors such as demographic influences andsexual and reproductive health attitudes, as well as others related to preventive measure usage (or non usage). The aim of this study was to examine factors associated with cervical dysplasia in asymptomatic women who were examined by routine cytology and cervical biopsy for early detection of cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: Socio-demographic and other characteristics were obtained from medical files of 85 examinees with pathologic cytologic findings (Pap test) and histopathologic (HP) findings after biopsy. Results: ccording to the Pap test result, a greater probability for development of cervical dysplasia was noted with examinees having a larger number of sexual partners (OR= 5.01, 95% CI 1.04-24.10), and those who are afraid of the Pap finding. Risk factors for development of cervical dysplasia according to the bioptic finding were early beginning with sexual activities, presence of any STD in personal medical history and fear of the Pap test finding. Conclusions: The only risk factor found to be important for both methods was fear of the Pap testing finding.

Po definiciji Svetske zdravstvene organizacije (SZO) prekomerna težina i gojaznost definisane su kao neuobičajeno ili prekomerno nagomolavanje masti koje može da ugrozi zdravlje. Indeks telesne mase (engl. body mass index-BMI) jeste jednostavni indeks koji predstavlja odnos telesne mase i telesne visine, i obično se koristi za klasifikaciju prekomerne telesne mase i gojaznosti. Definiše se kao odnos telesne mase i kvadrata telesne visine u metrima (kg/m 2). Deca sa BMI između 85. i 95. percentila imaju prekomernu telesnu masu, a ako je BMI veći od 95. percentila deca se smatraju gojaznom (1). Kod dece i adolescenata BMI se izračunava na isti način kao i kod odraslih, ali je tumačenje dobijenih vrednosti drugačije iz dva razloga: a) količina masti u telu menja se sa godinama i b) količina masti kod devojčica i kod dečaka se razlikuje. STRUČNI RAD SAŽETAK Cilj. Cilj istraživanja je bio analiza stanja uhranjenosti predškolske dece na obaveznom sistematskom pregledu pred polazak u osnovnu školu.

Air pollution as a risk factor for the health of the population of the city of Kragujevac APSTRAKT Uvod: Zagađenje vazduha je uvek aktuelna tema, posebno u gradovima u kojima se na relativno malom mestu nalaze brojni izvori zagađenja: energetski izvori, saobraćaj i industrija, pa se u vazduhu nalaze primarni zagađivači: sumpor-dioksid, azot-dioksid, ugljen-monoksid, čestice čađi, kao i specifični zagađivači u zavisnosti od industrijskih procesa koji se dešavaju na datom području. Sadržaj polutanata u atmosferi varira u odnosu na godišnje doba, tako da su tokom zime povećane koncentracije čađi i sumpor-dioksida.
