    Abstract Background: The empirical evidence shows that tobacco consumption is strongly associated with its affordability. The nominal growth in tobacco prices imposed by taxation should exceed or at least keep pace with nominal income growth, ensuring that tobacco products become less affordable over time. No analysis covering affordability issues in the Southeastern European (SEE) region has been conducted prior to this research.
    Objectives: The study aims to examine trends in cigarette affordability in ten selected SEE countries over the period 2008-2019 and the impact of affordability on the consumption of cigarettes. On the policy side, it aims to support conducting of more effective evidence-based policy of tobacco taxation.
    Methods: The relative income price of cigarettes and the tobacco affordability index are used as affordability measures. The panel regression was run to estimate the impact of affordability measures and other covariates on cigarette consumption.
    Results: The affordability of cigarettes in the selected SEE countries has decreased on average but showed different patterns over the observed period. A decline in affordability has been more dynamic in Western Balkan (non-EU members) countries and low-and-middle-income countries within the SEE region. Econometric estimation confirms affordability as the main determinant of tobacco consumption, indicating that a decline in affordability considerably reduces tobacco consumption.
    Conclusions: Despite the evidence, affordability is still widely ignored by SEE policymakers when designing national tobacco taxation policies. Policymakers should be aware of the risk that future increases in cigarette prices could lag behind real income growth, making tax policy less effective at reducing consumption. Reducing affordability should be the paramount consideration in designing effective tobacco taxation policies.

    Abstract Water is the source of life for all living beings, but also an irreplaceable input in agricultural production. According to the available water and land potentials in Serbia irrigation is used at generally negligible arable areas. Although it represents an agro-technical measure whose implementation usually causes significant investment costs for the farm, its application ensures high and stable yields of high quality crops' fruits, while indirectly it affects increase in incomes and continuity in farm sustainability. The main goal of the paper is presenting an assessment of the effects of investing in implementation of the irrigation system (type Tifon) on a small family farm primarily active in crop farming. Investment analysis was based on basic static and dynamic methods for assessing the effectiveness of investments. The assessment was focused to two modalities in crop production, i.e. implementation of irrigation in crop farming at 25 ha and 30 ha. In both observed modalities the investment was assessed as economically justified alternative for farm business improvement, while there are shown slightly better results with the rise of used agricultural surfaces.

    Abstract The aim was to search systematically, evaluate, and then summarize scientific literature about possible methotrexate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), its signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in adults. After registration at PROSPERO this systematic review was conducted and reported according to the PRISMA checklist. The following databases were systematically searched: MEDLINE, EBSCO, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Central), SCIndex, Scopus, Google Scholar and Registry of clinical studies with human participants. In total 9 studies with 14 patients were included in the review. All cases of ONJ associated with methotrexate were described in patients suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and only about 40% of them were taking other concomitant medication described to be associated with ONJ (bisphosphonates). Both sexes were equally affected, and the patients were rather old (over 60 years if age), already taking methotrexate for more than 12 years on average. Antibiotics were ineffective in the treatment of ONJ; after stopping methotrexate, all lesions healed after several months on average; however, half of the cases required covering of the exposed bone with mucosal flap. Recurrence of the methotrexate-associated ONJ was not observed for at least two years after the lesions were healed. Methotrexate-associated ONJ is serious clinical condition that may occur in patients with RA, but given the small number of cases we have found in the literature, direct involvement of methotrexate in the development of ONJ remains elusive.

    Abstract Background: Fresh gas decoupling is a feature of the modern anesthesia workstation, where the fresh gas flow (FGF) is diverted into the reservoir bag and is not added to the delivered tidal volume, which thus remains constant. The present study aimed to investigate the entraining of the atmospheric air into the anesthesia breathing circuit in case the reservoir bag was disconnected.
    Methods: We conducted a simulator-based study, where the METI HPS simulator was connected to the anesthesia workstation. The effect of the disconnected reservoir bag was evaluated using oxygen (O
    Results: The difference of O
    Conclusions: During the disconnection of the anesthesia reservoir bag, the process of pharmacokinetics takes place faster compared to the wash-in and wash-out pharmacokinetic properties in the circle breathing system. The time constant was affected by the FGF rate, as well as the gradient of anesthetic gases between the anesthesia circle system and atmospheric air.

    Abstract Chylothorax, the presence of lymph in the pleural cavity, is a significant post-cardiac surgery complication. Historically linked to left internal mammary artery (LIMA) harvesting, its occurrence in cases without LIMA usage is uncommon. This paper details a case of chylothorax in an 84-year-old female patient who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) without LIMA harvesting. Three months post-surgery, she manifested symptoms of exertional shortness of breath and diminished breath sounds on the left side. Diagnostic measures, including echocardiography and chest X-rays, revealed a pronounced left-sided pleural effusion. Diagnostic thoracocentesis yielded a milky fluid, and laboratory analysis confirmed its chylous nature. Therapeutic interventions comprised chest tube insertion, drainage of the milky fluid, dietary modifications, and the performance of talc pleurodesis after a fatty food-provocation test resulted in increased fluid collection. The patient's journey highlights the challenges of diagnosing and managing post-cardiosurgical chylothorax. The paper emphasizes the importance of early detection and appropriate interventions to prevent complications associated with a heightened mortality risk.

    Abstract Study objective: We aimed to determine the magnitude of peri-operative opioid sparing effect when general anesthesia is combined with spinal analgesia for laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
    Design: A prospective randomized controlled study; a three-group trial with two comparisons (each intervention group to control).
    Setting: Operating room and postoperative recovery area.
    Patients: Patients aged between 18 and 65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 or 2 who were scheduled for inpatient elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery with expected pneumoperitoneum duration of at least 20 min. Of 102 randomized patients, 99 completed the study.
    Interventions: Patients were randomized to general anesthesia alone (control group) or combined with very-low-dose (levobupivacaine 3.75 mg; sufentanil 2.5 μg) or low-dose (levobupivacaine 7.5 mg; sufentanil 2.5 μg) spinal analgesia.
    Measurements: Primary endpoints were perioperative opioid consumption and pain scores (11-point numeric rating scale) at 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 24 h post-surgery. Secondary endpoints were patient satisfaction with anesthetic care and participation in research, sevoflurane consumption and adverse effects.
    Main results: Intra-operative sufentanil (median [95% CI]) consumption was 16.1 (10.5-22.6) μg/h in the control group versus 4.7 (3.2-9.2) μg/h in the very-low-dose and versus 2.9 (0.0-4.0) μg/h in the low-dose spinal analgesia groups (p < 0.001, for both comparisons). Median (95% CI) piritramide consumption at 24 h post-surgery was 7.5 (3-8) mg in the control group versus 5 (0-7.5) mg in the very-low dose spinal analgesia group (p = 0.182) and versus 2 (0-2.5) mg in the low-dose spinal analgesia group (p = 0.001). Postoperative pain scores were consistently <3 only in the low dose spinal analgesia group. Patient satisfaction with anesthetic care and participation in research was very high in all groups.
    Conclusions: Low-dose spinal analgesia in combination with general anesthesia reduces peri-operative opioid consumption in laparoscopic gynecological surgery in immediate postoperative period.
