Introduction. Post-dural puncture headache is classified as a secondary headache attributable to non-vascular intracranial disorders and belongs to the group of headaches caused by low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Etiopathogenesis. The pathogenesis is not completely clear, but it is thought to be caused by the cerebrospinal fluid leak through the duct opening. Cerebrospinal fluid efflux leads to a decrease in intracranial pressure and stretching of the pain sensitive intracranial structures. A drop in intracranial pressure can cause compensatory cerebrovascular vasodilation, contributing to the onset of a headache. Diagnosis and Therapy. Post-dural puncture headache clinically presents as an orthostatic headache. In most cases, the diagnosis is made based on a typical clinical picture and it can be confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and measurement of cerebrospinal fluid pressure. The condition is usually benign, most often with spontaneous recovery. The therapy involves conservative treatment, medications, as well as some invasive methods: epidural blood patches, blockage of the greater occipital nerve, and in most severe cases, epidural injection of fibrin sealant or surgical dural repair. Conclusion. Post-dural puncture headache is a common complaint in the clinical practice of neurologists and anesthesiologists. The prognosis is usually favourable, while the therapy may include conservative or invasive treatment procedures.

Introduction. Parkinson?s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease with as many as 50-70% of patients experiencing psychotic symptoms during the course of the illness. Our aim was to provide an evidence-based review on the etiology, prevalence and management of psychotic symptoms in Parkinson?s disease. Material and Methods. We used references from the ?Medline? database published from 1999 to 2019. Results. The most common psychotic symptoms in Parkinson?s disease are visual hallucinations, which occur in 25-30% of patients, acoustic hallucinations in about 20%, and delusions in around 5% of these patients. The etiology of psychotic symptoms is not fully clarified, but researchers suggest a complex interrelationship of factors associated with the disease itself and the factors associated with antiparkinsonian medications. After exclusion of other etiologic causes of psychotic symptoms, it is necessary to revise the type and dose of antiparkinsonian drugs. Although pimavanserin has recently been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, the current treatment of choice for psychotic symptoms in Parkinson?s disease is still quetiapine. Only patients who do not tolerate or do not respond to quetiapine are treated with clozapine, which has been proven more effective, but with significant side effects. Conclusion. Timely diagnosis and adequate treatment of psychotic symptoms in Parkinson?s disease are essential, because they dramatically affect the quality of life of patients and their families. Therefore, it is necessary to establish more effective tools for screening and treatment of psychotic symptoms in Parkinson?s disease.

U ovom radu fokusirali smo se na istraživanje odnosa između koncentrisanosti bankarskog sistema Bosne i Hercegovine i Srbije, te uticaj na zaposlenost/nezaposlenosti u obe posmatrane zemlje. Osnovni zadaci i ciljevi istraživanja se odnose na determinisanje uticaja internih faktora banaka na zaposlenost/nezaposlenost, te prepoznavanje efekata unutrašnjih faktora na stopu nezaposlenosti. Kao zavisnu varijablu u ovom istraživanju koristili smo stopu nezaposlenosti, dok su kao nezavisne varijable poslužile sledeće: HHI indeks koncentracije, stopa rasta ukupne bankarske aktive, stopa rasta likvidne aktive prema ukupnoj aktivi. U cilju proučavanja kointegracije varijabli korišćena je metoda automatske regresijske raspodele, kao i metoda korelacije i regresije. Period istraživanja obuhvata period od 2008q1 do 2018q4. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da najsignifikantniji značaj na smanjenje nezaposlenosti mogu imati sledeće nezavisne varijable: stopa rasta ukupnih kredita, stopa rasta bankarske aktive, koncentracija kredita i depozita (posebno slučaj banaka u BiH). S druge strane, preveliki obim likvidnih sredstava prema ukupnim sredstvima iznad zakonskog minimum može uticati negativno na privredni rast i zaposlenost.

This paper discusses the situation of older people in Serbia – development and current state of art, their marginalization and ageism in the society. Stereotypes and media are in the focus, since many researches show that their impact on the adult population is huge, and they act as a ‘massive’ adult educator in the public space. An educational measure and its impact are shown in the paper, and the results of the project are presented, where several adult education organisations took part, aiming at change of the image of elderly in the society.

Given the long and continuous history of human settlements on the territory of Novi Sad, the human impact on the Danube?s coast configuration has been significant. Based on the field research and literature data regarding the Danube?s shoreline, from Cerevic to Cortanovci, a total number of 440 taxa classified into 224 genera and 68 families were registered. According to the number of species, the most abundant families were Asteraceae (51), Poaceae (49), Fabaceae (32) and Brassicaceae (28), while the most abundant genera were Carex (15), Rumex (10) and Euphorbia (8). Chorological analysis showed that 42% of the registered taxa belong to Eurasian floral element, 14% to Central European and 12% to Pontic-Southsiberian floral element, with special attention to alien plants with invasive character that included 24 taxa. The analysis of the life forms showed domination of hemicryptophytes (40%), followed by therophytes (27%) and phanerophytes (11%).

The global economic crisis has not spared the countries of the Western Balkans. The ensuing recession, characterized by a decline in economic activity, a decline in consumption and an increase in unemployment, went hand in hand with drops in public revenues. This in turn resulted in budget imbalances that manifested in structural budget deficits and higher public debt. Fiscal consolidation was deemed necessary across the board. In this process, certain fiscal policy elements varied among countries. The structure of public revenues and public expenditures changed. The question is whether the fiscal consolidation was successful and to what extent. Dynamic panel analysis using PMG estimator in six Western Balkan Countries for the period 2004-2016 has shown that fiscal consolidation has positive impact on economic growth in this region. So, Western Balkan Countries have to conduct responsible public finances in order to encourage economic growth.

Many traditional heating systems which are based on fossils face challenges such as lack of investment or unfavorable price regulations, low technical performance, environmental impacts and negative consumer perceptions. The CoolHeating project which is, funded by the EU?s Horizon 2020 programme and presented in this paper promotes the implementation of small modular renewable heating and cooling grids for communities in South-Eastern Europe. Core project activities bincluded measures to stimulate the interest of communities and citizens to set-up renewable district heating systems in five target communities in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and North Macedonia up to the investment stage. Single criteria and multi-criteria assessment approaches, considering economic, environmental and social indicators of the targeted projects, have been applied in this work in order to investigate opportunities for the sustainable transition of the heating and cooling sectors of the target communities of Southeast Europe. Both approaches confirm the feasibilities of the transition from traditional to renewable energy-based heating systems for each target community in the countries of South-Eastern Europe. After simulation and replication of the results, the sustainability analysis indicatively shows that the transitions from traditional fossil-based, poor-maintained, and difficult-to-manage heating systems towards renewable district heating and cooling systems in Southeast Europe are sustainable solutions. Having in mind the modularity of such systems, those solutions can be replicated in other Southeast European cities and other countries.

Introduction. Lower leg fractures are most frequent of all fractures of long bones because a lower leg is very exposed part of a leg, especially it is anteromedial side of tibia, located immediately under skin. Aim of this paper is to analyse results of teatment of open and closed diaphysial tibial fractures using method of external fixation. Patients and methods. We analyzed the results of treatment of open and closed diaphysial tibial fractures using method of external fixation at Department of Ortopedics od Doboj hospital in period from 2005 until 2009. All patients with open fractures been treated first with surgical treatment of the wound up to 8 hours and with installation of external fixator. Patients with closed fractures which did not have satisfactory reposition have been installed external fixator which was worn from 4 to 8 weeks and then taken off, they have been applied a closed lower leg walking cast which was worn pending fracture healing verified by a clinical and xray examination. Patients in wich there was no healing process have undergone a subseqent surgical treatment which in all cases was positive. After surgical treatment all patients were sent for physical therapy. Results. Out of 124 patients with diaphysial tibial fractures, 56 (45,2%) were with open fractures and 68 of them (54,8%) were with closed fractures. After a primary treatment, there were 49 (87,5%) open fractures and 39 (57,4%) closed fractures with complications. Conclusion. Treatment of closed and open diaphysial tibial fractures by means of external fixation in open fractures as standard and selected closed fractures have shown good results with a small number of complications which were removed by a second surgical teatment. This method of treatment fractures is recommendable method in a primary as well as in final treatment of these fractures due to a positive treatment outcome.
