Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
Induction of labor by endocervical application of prostaglandins and intravenous infusion of oxytocin in postterm pregnancy.
The study compares two contemporary modes of labor induction: intravenous application of Syntocinon and endocervical application of prostaglandins and examines their efficacy and safety. Ninety women were divided according to the degree of cervical maturation (shown by Bishop score) into two groups. In group I there were 60 women with unripe cervix (Bishop score < or = 5) and induction was performed by endocervical application of 0.5 mg Dinoprostone, and in group II there were 30 women with ripe cervix (Bishop score < or = 6) in which the induction was performed by intravenous application of Syntocinon (500 ml of 5% glycose with 10 iu of Syntocinon). ⋯ The correlation of initial Bishop score values and the total duration of the labor was negative and high in both groups. All the neonates from both groups were in good condition and no serious complication was noted. Both methods of labor induction appear similarly effective and safe both for the fetus and the mother.

A great number of various viruses are stated as the cause of acute infections and damages of the central nervous system. In most cases these are minor damages which exhibit as meningeal syndrome and a specific finding in the cerebrospinal fluid. According to the dominant location, central nervous system infections can take a form of meningitis, encephalitis or myelitis. Since the inflammatory process of the meninges can not be separated from the inflammatory process of the brain, we usually speak of meningoencephalitis. The etiological diagnosis of meningitis and encephalitis is established by isolating the virus from the cerebrospinal fluid and by finding the presence of the specific antibodies in the blood and in the cerebrospinal fluid. The most common causes of the viral meningitis are Enteroviruses, the Mumps virus, Arthropode borne viruses, the Herpes viruses, Adeno viruses and the Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. The aim of our study was to establish the correlation between the clinical features and immunological and cerebrospinal fluid changes and the degree of the damage to the blood-brain barrier during the infections of the central nervous system, caused by the Herpes Simplex virus and the Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. ⋯ In cases of the central nervous system infections, caused by Herpes Simplex virus or Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, the correlation between the severeness of clinical features and the degree of damage of the blood-brain barrier, the level of pleocytosis and the increase of the cerebrospinal fluid proteins had been established.

Historical Article
[Development of orthopedics and founding of the Clinic for Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology in Novi Sad].
A study of the development of the orthopaedic surgery in Novi Sad from the antique times till 1980 when the Clinic for Orthopaedic. Surgery and Traumatology was established has been carried out. Development from Roman Times till the Second World War. ⋯ In 1963 this department together with the former "English Hospital" at Sremska Kamenica were incorporated into the so-called Clinic for Surgical Diseases and divided in the Orthopaedic (led by Prof. Milenko Dosen) and separated Traumatologic (led by Prim. Stojan Letić) departments which existed as such till 1975 when they were integrated again into a single unit which evolved into the Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology in 1980.
