Assessment of physical activity in elderly people using a PASE questionnaire in accordance with the selected MKB-10 disease category
Practising a sitting way of life in elderly people can result in a lowered level of physical activity with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this research is to ascertain the level of physical activity in elderly people and in which group they belong according to the selected MKB-10 disease category using a PASE questionnaire as a measuring instrument. Participants (N = 100) that can partake in physical activity on their own or with assistance were included in this study. They were distributed into three groups categorized by the International Classification of Diseases and related medical issues (MKB-10). The first group consisted of people with musculoskeletal disorders (N = 34), the second included cardiovascular diseases (N = 35) and the third included participants with neurological disorders (N = 31). The PASE questionnaire was used in order to evaluate the level of physical activity. The results of this research confirm that most elderly people practise a sitting way of life with a low level of physical activity and an increased BMI index in all observed groups. According to the results of this study, there was no statistically significant difference between the three observed groups in regards to physical activity, BMI and sitting activity. In further research, it is needed to design measuring instruments for assessing the level of physical activity in elderly people that would enable defining limiting factors for including people of this age group in physical activity
History of the Emergency Department at the Clinical Hospital Center of Rijeka
Prikazan je povijesni razvoj hitne medicinske službe u KliniÄkom bolniÄkom centru
Rijeka od osnutka 1984. godine do danas. Tijekom godina prosjeÄan je dnevni broj obraÄenih
bolesnika postojano rastao, kao i udio manje hitnih bolesnika te prosjeÄno trajanje i opseg
obrade. Razlog tome je nedostatak trijažnih mehanizama prije ulaska u bolniÄku hitnu
službu, buduÄi da zbog njezine prirode nije moguÄe jednostavno razluÄiti hitne sluÄajeve od
onih koji to nisu.Historical development of emergency medical services at the University Hospital
Center Rijeka since inception 1984th year to date was reviewed. Over the years, the average
daily number of treated patients is steadily growing, as well as share of less urgent patients,
and the average duration and the extent of patient workup. The reason for this is the lack of
triage mechanisms before entering the hospital emergency department, as the nature of
the hospital emergency service is such that emergency cases cannot be easily distinguished
from non-urgent cases
Complications after Primary and Secondary Transsclerally Sutured Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens Implantation
This retrospective study analyses and compares early complications during the first month after primary and secondary
posterior chamber implantation of transsclerally sutured IOL. The analysis covered medical records of 65 patients
who underwent posterior chamber implantation of transsclerally sutured IOL at the Eye Clinic in Rijeka between
1998 and 2003. In 30 patients (group 1) lenses were implanted in one eye during complicated cataract surgery
(primary implantation), whereas 35 patients (group 2) had lenses implanted afterwards (secondary implantation).
There were 77 early complications, equally represented in both groups, i.e. 40 in (51.9%) the first and 37 (48.1%) in the
second group. The most frequent complications were: vitreous hemorrhages 24.7% (14.3% and 10.4%), cystoid macular
edema 19.5% (9.1% and 10.4%), keratopathy 14.3% (6.5% and 7.8%), pupil distortion 11.7% (9.1% and 2.6%), IOL
decentration and tilt 10.4% (6.5% and 3.9%), high intraocular pressure 9.1% (2.6% and 6.5%), inflammation 6.5%
(2.5% and 3.9%). Retinal and choroidal detachment had low incidence: 2.6% (1.3% and 1.3%) and 1.3% (0% and 1.3%)
respectively. As concerns early complications, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups,
except for pupil distortion, which was more frequent in primary IOL implantation (p=0.045). After primary implantation
of IOL, the average visual acuity was 0.38Ā±0.27, whereas after secondary implantation visual acuity was 0.52Ā±0.21.
The difference was not statistically significant
Epidemiology of Monosymptomatic Optic Neuritis in Rijeka County, Croatia: Meteorological Aspects
In order to analyze the meteorological factors possibly influencing the monosymptomatic optic neuritis in Rijeka County, northwestern part of Croatia, retrospective analysis of all cases diagnosed in Rijeka County in period from 1977 to 2001, was done. Meteorological data on monthly and yearly temperature, humidity, insolation in Rijeka County were collected from Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service. In the observed period there were 173 cases of monosymptomatic optic neuritis, female/male ratio was 1.66, and overall incidence was 2.18/100,000 inhabitants. There was no correlation of incidence with average yearly and monthly temperature, humidity, insolation, or month of birth. This is the first study on meteorological factors and optic neuritis in Croatia
