    Abstract Modern oncology practice and new antitumor drugs prolonged disease-free intervals in patients with lung cancer. Patients with distant metastatic disease are treated only with palliative intent. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, in the 8th edition of the TNM classification, for the first time includes oligometastatic disease as a clinical state that describes the patients with distant metastasis, limited in number and organ sites, who may have more indolent biology. In this paper, we present a case of a 56-year-old man who was admitted to our clinic regarding a radiologically diagnosed splenic lesion of uncertain nature, and who underwent a left upper lobectomy for primary lung cancer 12 years before. After a detailed radiological diagnosis, it was concluded that it is highly suspected metastatic lesion of the spleen and the patient underwent a splenectomy. While no definitive protocols exist on the management of isolated splenic metastasis from lung cancer, splenectomy, in suitable patients, with reasonable survival expectations, improves patient disease-free survival and can prevent potentially life-threatening complications, such as splenic rupture.

    Abstract Background: Dihydroergotamine or ergotamine are the most effective preparations for aborting acute attacks of migraine without aura.
    Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and safety of ergotamine based five-component drug combination and sumatriptan in the treatment of moderate to severe acute attacks of migraine without aura.
    Methods: The study was designed as a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel arm, multi-center clinical trial. The enrolled patients having migraine without aura were randomized to one of the study arms, ergotamine based five-component drug combination or sumatriptan.
    Results: In total, 201 patients were randomized to one of the treatment arms. Higher percentage of patients was completely free of the headache two hours after dose administration in the ergotamine-based medication group compared to the sumatriptan group, regardless whether all (51.12 % vs 33.70 %) or only repeated attacks were taken into account (50.91 % vs 23.73 %); the salvage therapy (diclofenac) utilization rate was also lower in the ergotamine-based medication group (relative risk 0.61). Photophobia, phonophobia, and osmophobia were reversed more frequently in the ergotamine-based medication group (51.12 % vs 33.70 %), and failure to abort an attack of the migraine without aura occurred more frequently in the group treated with sumatriptan (1.1 % vs 4.9 %). The headache intensity two hours after ingestion of the study medication increased more frequently with sumatriptan, while other adverse events were rare in both groups.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrated higher efficacy and similar safety of ergotamine based fixed drug combination in comparison to sumatriptan, when used in the treatment of an acute attack of the migraine. HIPPOKRATIA 2018, 22(1): 17-22.

    Abstract We present a case report that demonstrates diagnostic and intraoperative challenges in the laparoscopic management of initially unrecognized splenic hydatid disease. A male patient, aged 44, was admitted to our department with a big unilocular splenic cyst, radiologically (ultrasonography, computed tomography) characterized as a simple cyst. Serological tests for anti-Echonococcus antibody were negative, and chests X-ray findings were unremarkable, so laparoscopic cyst fenestration with omentoplasty was planned. The intraoperative finding did not correspond to a simple splenic cyst. Hydatid daughter cysts were recognized after the careful opening of the cyst wall. The operation was completed without shifting to open procedures. Laparoscopic partial pericystectomy with omentoplasty is a safe and effective surgical procedure for the management of splenic hydatid disease.

    Abstract Students are potential professionals with significant roles in the future and that's why the aim of this paper is to estimate the level of physical activity, and to identify certain relevant indicators, the unhealthy habits (smoking, alcohol, sedentary lifestyle) among the students of the State University of Novi Pazar. The study was conducted among first-year and first-year students of the State University in Novi Pazar, in May 2013. As the survey instrument it was used an anonymous questionnaire, specifically designed for this study. Survey responses are directly administered at a specially prepared database. For statistical analysis we used the methods of descriptive statistics, Chi-square test at the significance level of p<0.05. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS package for Windows, version18.0. Statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences in proportion of students who engaged in sports and recreational activities between first-year and fourth-year students (Chi-Square 5.882, p <0.05). The proportion of first-year students who exercise 2-3 times per week is significantly lower than the proportion of fourth-year students (Chi-Square 6.332, p <0.05). There is no statistically significant difference in proportion of students who consume alcohol between first-year and fourth-year students (Chi-Square 0.231; p>0.05). There is a significant percent of nonsmokers among first-year students (85%), while among the fourth-year students it is 73%. The proportion of first-year students who smoke is not significantly different from the proportion of fourth-year students who smoke (Chi-Square 1,334; p>0,05). It is necessary to insist on the adoption of healthy life­styles among students who are on the path of maturity and responsibility for themselves and for the community.

    Abstract Pelvic exenteresis (total, anterior and posterior) is operative procedure reserved for the local advanced malignancies of the pelvis. In the period 1995-2001, we have treated 54 patients (20 male, 34 female) by this procedures. By anterior pelvic exenteresis we have treated 6 females for: Ca vesicae urinary (4 pts). Ca PVU after irradiation therapy (1 patient), Ca urethrae (1 patient). By posterior pelvic exenteresis we have treated 2 females for primary advanced Ca of the rectum. By total pelvic exenteresis we have treated 46 pts (20 male, 26 female): Ca PVU after irradiation therapy (10 females), recidivant Ca PVU (8 females), primary advanced Ca of the rectum (7 male, 1 female), recidivant Ca of the rectum (10 male, 7 female), recidivant Schwanoma (1 male), recidivant Sa stromae endometrii (1 female), recidivant Ca vesicae urinary (1 female). The median survival time of all 54 patients was 24 months. Early postoperative mortality was 18% (10 pts). Twenty patients died with median survival of 18 months (range 4-48 months). Twenty one patients are alive without evidence of disease with median follow up period of 41 months (range 6-60 months). Three patients were lost from follow up. Exenteresis pelvis is very complicate operative procedure and it should be limited to perform only in couple surgical centers.

    Abstract Background and aims: The aim of this study was to compare the feasibility and early postoperative outcomes between patients undergoing double-barreled wet colostomy and patients undergoing terminal colostomy and ileal conduit for simultaneous urinary and fecal diversion.
    Material and methods: Between 1995 and 2012, we had 181 patients in whom it was necessary to make simultaneous urinary and fecal diversion. This is a retrospective study and patients were divided into two groups, depending on the technique applied for the fecal and urinary diversion. The first group consisted of patients undergoing ileal conduit and terminal colostomy and the second group consisted of patients undergoing  double-barreled wet colostomy.
    Results: Ileal conduit and terminal colostomy was performed in 77 (43%) cases, while wet colostomy was performed in 104 (57%) cases. Median length of stay was shorter for double-barreled wet colostomy (13.1 vs 18.1, p < 0.0001). Median operating times for urinary and fecal diversion were shorter for double-barreled wet colostomy (32 vs 64 min, p < 0.0001). The morbidity was lower for double-barreled wet colostomy (11.5% vs 23.4%, p = 0.0432), retrospectively. The mortality was 3.8% for double-barreled wet colostomy and 10.3% for ileal conduit and terminal colostomy group (p = 0.1282).
    Conclusions: Double-barreled wet colostomy is a safe, fast, and simple alternative to traditional ileal conduit and terminal colostomy diversion. The technique is relatively easy to learn, and it reduces the time for urinary and fecal diversion, length of stay, and morbidity rate.

    Abstract Female patient, 68, hospitalized due to vaginal bleeding, anaemia and defecation disorder. We have done examinations as follows: clinical and laboratory exams, which confirmed severe anaemia. Explorative curretage of uterus--PH findings: malignant tissue. Rectoscopy: extraluminal compression at lo cm from the anal verge. Irigography: spasticity and extraluminal compression to proximal third of rectum and distal sigmoid colon. Ultrasound of abdomen: solid lobular formation 10 x 7 cm in diameter, on the left side of the urinary bladder, surrounded by thin layer of ascites. Ultrasound of liver: without signs of malignant disease. CT-scan of pelvis and abdomen: metastatic lymph nodes, up to 40 mm in diameter, alongside abdominal aorta; solid-lobular tumor, 10 x 7 cm, on the left side of urinary bladder, which fills the central portion of pelvic cavum. Secundary malignant deposits on the pelvic parietal peritoneum with minimal quantity of ascites (peritoneal carcinomatosis). Intraoperative findings confirmed malignant deposits on the right colon serosa, so we performed right hemicolectomy with ileo-colo anastomosis, omentectomy, hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, low anterior resection of the rectum, peritonectomy of pelvis and reconstruction of digestive tubus by colo-rectal anastomosis with circular stapler ILS 33. Duration of operation was 6:45 hours, blood loss was 1100 ml. Intraoperatively was intraperitonealy applicated Adriamycin. One month after the operation, systemic chemotherapy consisting of Endoxan and Karboblastin was administered, for the duration of 6 months, once monthly. Twelve months after the operation NMR showed normal findings, patient was without evidents of recurrent disease.
