Ischemic stroke (IS) is defined as rapid development (focal or global) of clinical signs of brain function disorder with symptoms lasting 24 hours or longer, or leading to death, without other clear causes except destruction of blood vessel.1 Anxiety does occur in patients with IS, but not in those with intracerebral hemorrhages.2 Astrom found symptoms of anxiety in 28% of patients in acute phase of stroke.3 The aim of this study was to analyze anxiety in patients within 48 hours (hyperacute and acute phase) and 15th day (subacute phase) after the IS in relation to gender and location of the lesion. PATIENTS AND METHODS

UDK 630*23/.24:582.632.2(497.6 Sarajevo)          630*111/.114:582.632.2(497.6 Sarajevo) Panjače bukve u BiH zauzimaju površinu od 351.000 hektara, što je oko 13 % od ukupne površine šuma i šumskog zemljišta. Proizvodne mogućnosti ovih šuma nisu potpuno iskorištene pa je potrebno uzgojnim zahvatima poboljšati njihovo stanje. U ovom radu analizirane su stanišne karakteristike panjače bukve na lokalitetu "Musići" kod Sarajeva. U 60-godišnjoj panjači bukve postavljene su (u proljeće 2007. godine) dvije eksperimentalne plohe na kojim su provedena dva načina prorjeđivanja i to: selektivna prorjeda i selektivna prorjeda sa čišćenjem zaostalih i loših izbojaka sa panja. Stanišne i strukturne karakteristike imaju odlučujući značaj kod odabira načina prorjeđivanja panjača u cilju prevođenja u viši uzgojni oblik. Prorjedu treba prilagoditi stanju u kojem se panjača nalazi. Selektivna prorjeda uz uklananje zaostalih i loših izbojaka sa panja treba biti osnov za buduće mjere njege u mlađim panjačama bukve.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the additional benefits provided by the incorporation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into a regenerative protocol consisting of bovine porous bone mineral (BPBM) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) in the treatment of intrabony defects in humans. METHODS Twenty-three paired intrabony defects were surgically treated using a split-mouth design. Defects were treated with BPBM/GTR/PRP (experimental group) or with BPBM/GTR (control group). The clinical parameters evaluated included changes in probing depth, clinical attachment level, and defect fill as revealed by reentry surgeries at 6 months. RESULTS Preoperative probing depths, attachment levels, and transoperative bone measurements were similar for the two groups. Post-surgical measurements taken at 6 months revealed that both treatment modalities resulted in a significant decrease in probing depth, gain in clinical attachment, and bone fill of the defects compared to baseline. Postoperative differences observed between the two groups were 0.72 +/- 0.36 mm at buccal sites and 0.90 +/- 0.32 mm at lingual sites for probing depth, 0.82 +/- 0.41 mm at buccal sites and 0.78 +/- 0.38 at lingual sites for gain in clinical attachment, and 0.85 +/- 0.36 mm at buccal sites and 0.94 +/- 0.42 mm at lingual sites for defect fill, all favoring the experimental sites. However, none of the differences were statistically significant. CONCLUSION Within the limitations related to using a small sample size, PRP did not significantly augment the effects of BPBM and GTR in promoting the clinical resolution of intrabony defects.
