The Editors´ Network of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) provides a dynamic forum for editorial discussions and endorses the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) to improve the scientific quality of biomedical journals. Authorship confers credit and important academic rewards. Recently, however, the ICMJE emphasized that authorship also requires responsibility and accountability. These issues are now covered by the new (fourth) criterion for authorship. Authors should agree to be accountable and ensure that questions regarding the accuracy and integrity of the entire work will be appropriately addressed. This review discusses the implications of this paradigm shift on authorship requirements with the aim of increasing awareness on good scientific and editorial practices.

Introduction: satisfaction of patients has been frequently used as an indicator of quality in the healthcare sector. The analysis of patient satisfaction or experience in respect of hospital food is an important segment influencing the overall satisfaction with hospital services provided, and the study results should serve for the purpose of improving the service quality. Aim: to analyse patient satisfaction with hospital food services, evaluate the level of satisfaction in respect of food distribution, and give recommendations for improvement of hospital food quality. Materials and methods: the study included 300 patients hospitalized in the Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo (CCSU). The study used an anonymous, purposely designed questionnaire. The study was conducted in the period from 1 May to 31 August 2017. Results: the study related to patient satisfaction with hospital food services showed that the respondents were satisfied with hospital food in the majority of cases. Few respondents were unsatisfied with food provided from the central kitchen, specifically 5% of them; 25% of the respondents were unsatisfied with the nutritive value of the food, 6% of them were unsatisfied with the menu, and 10% of the respondents were unsatisfied with the dietary treatment. Conclusion: nutrition of patients during their hospital treatment has significant influence on the overall recovery and it significantly affects the overall satisfaction regarding patients’ treatment in hospital. Small number of the tested patients showed subjective perception in respect of nutritive value of the food and prescribed dietary regime.

Th e history of patient categorization depending on the amount of care provided dates back to 1863 when Florence Nightingale used an informal classifi cation method refl ecting nursing workload. For the most diffi cult patients, open units were located closest to the offi ce of the main nurse in order to facilitate their observation. On the other hand, self-care patients were mainly accommodated at the far end of the department, which refl ected their reduced dependence on nurses (1). IMPLEMENTATION OF PATIENT CATEGORIZATION MODEL BASED ON THEIR NEED FOR MEDICAL CARE AS AN INDICATOR OF EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF NURSING CLINICAL PRACTICE

Aim To investigate biosynthesis in nitric oxide (NO) during normal pregnancy and in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia. Methods This prospective cross-sectional study included 80 patients hospitalized at the Department of Women's Health, Neonatology and Perinatology Cantonal Hospital in Zenica. Serum NO concentration in 20 non-pregnant women, 40 healthy pregnant women and 20 pregnant women with preeclampsia aged 17-40 years were measured. The group of healthy pregnant women were divided into 4 subgroups by gestational age. For each woman with preeclampsia, a healthy pregnant control was matched for age, parity and gestational age. Serum NO concentrations were determined after reduction of nitrates to nitrites using the Griess reaction. Results NO concentrations during second trimester of pregnancy (37.2±1.7µM; p<0.05) and third trimester of pregnancy (40.9±2.8μM; p<0.05) were significantly higher in healthy pregnant women than in non-pregnant women (29.3±1.7μM). Serum NO concentrations were lower in preeclamptic women (30.7±1.8μM) compared to matched healthy pregnant women of the third and the late third trimester (35.1±2.2μM), without significant differences. Mean NO concentrations in pre-eclamptic women was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure (r=0.58; p<0.01), diastolic blood pressure (r=0.45; p<0.05), creatinine clearance (r=0.48; p<0.05), uric acid (r=0.49; p<0.05), and negatively correlated with platelet count (r=-0.57; p<0.05). Conclusion NO production was increased with gestational age during normal pregnancy and slightly decreased in preeclampsia suggesting that NO may modulate the cardiovascular changes during normal pregnancy and pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia.

Aim: The aims of this study were to compare ultrasound fetoplacental parameters and to calculate Hepato-Cephalic Index (HCI) as a new predictor of IUGR. Methods and material: A clinical prospective study was conducted and included 120 pregnant women divided in two groups: non IUGR group included healthy pregnant women (n=60) and IUGR group included pregnant women with preeclampsia and IUGR (n=60). Outcome measures were following ultrasound fetoplacental parameters in fetuses with IUGR and non IUGR: Fetal Liver Length (FLL), Femur Length (FL), Biparietal Diameter (BPD), Placental Maturation by Grannum, Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) and Hepato-Cephalic Index (HCI). Sonography was carried out by probe 3.5 Mhz type MINDRAY DC 7. Results: The mean of maternal age was 30.0±6.1 years in women with preeclampsia and IUGR and 28.1±5.1 years in healthy pregnant women, p > 0.05. There was a statistically significant difference in values of: FLL (p < 0.001), FL (p = 0.004), BPD (p < 0.001), AFI (p < 0.001), HCI (p < 0.001) between IUGR and non IUGR groups. The most of women with preeclampsia and IUGR had grade III of placental maturation (48.3%). There is a significant association between the placental maturation and the diagnosis, p < 0.001. There was a statistically significant difference in body mass of newborns between IUGR and non IUGR groups, p < 0.001. Conclusion: In a fetus with IUGR in preeclampsia there is a reduction in FLL, FL, BPD, AFI and HCI and there is a early maturation of the placenta. By measurement of fetoplacental ultrasonic parameters of liver, pregnant women will experience prediction of risk pregnancy (preeclampsia with IUGR) due to hypoxia.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate biochemical parameters in serum of women with preeclampsia and IUGR. Material and methods: A clinical prospective study was conducted and included 120 pregnant women divided in two groups: non IUGR group included healthy pregnant women (n=60) and IUGR group included pregnant women with preeclampsia and IUGR (n=60). Outcome measures were following values of biochemical parameters in serum of mother and fetuses: aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), bilirubin (indirect and direct) and cholesterol. A blood for analysis was drawn from the cubital vein of mothers and the umbilical vein of the fetuses during delivery period. Results: The mean of maternal age was 30.0±6.1 years in women with preeclampsia and IUGR and 28.1±5.1 years in healthy pregnant women, p > 0.05. The most of women with preeclampsia and IUGR had grade III of placental maturation (48.3%). There is a significant association between the placental maturation and the diagnosis, p < 0.001. There was a statistically significant difference in body mass of newborns between IUGR and non IUGR groups, p < 0.001. There was a significant statistically difference in serum value of AST, ALT, LDH and total cholesterol between women with preeclampsia and IUGR and healthy pregnant women (all p < 0.001). Conclusion: Measurement of AST, ALT, LDH, and total cholesterol in serum of pregnant women and newborns with IUGR allows the differentiation and threatening risk of perinatal complications due to hypoxia.
