The objective of this study is to analyse the spatial-temporal patterns of traffic accidents using data from 2011 to 2020 for the AP Vojvodina. The spatial-temporal patterns of traffic accident hotspots were identified at the municipality level using the Getis–Ord Gi⁎{G}_{i}^{\ast } statistic in ArcGIS Pro software. Trends in traffic accidents were analysed using the Mann-Kendall (MK) statistic. A certain trend in the number of traffic accidents, fatalities, and injuries was detected in 15 out of 45 municipalities. In two municipalities, the trend in the number of traffic accidents is decreasing, while in seven, it is increasing. In three municipalities, a decreasing trend in the number of traffic fatalities was observed. A decreasing trend in traffic injuries was identified in five municipalities. Hotspot analysis on the number of traffic accidents and traffic injuries revealed hotspots in seven municipalities, while no hotspots were detected in the number of traffic fatalities. In the traffic casualties weighted number, persons in tractors, hotspots were identified in two municipalities. This research has the potential to enhance traffic safety by directing targeted safety measures towards identified hotspots. Such measures could ultimately lead to a reduction in traffic accidents, consequently curbing the number of both fatalities and injuries.

Noise pollution or environmental noise is certainly one of the factors which determine health population of the city of Novi Sad and based on noise level depends the life quality of the population. In this paper noise pollution state in subject territory will be identified, through year average values of daily (Lday), evening (Levening), nightly (Lnight) and total (Lden) noise indicators on measuring spots, population exposure to noise pollution, health effects as well as protection measures that should be adopted. During 2019, in the territory of the city of Novi Sad average year values of daily, evening and nightly indicators were elevated in all zones ("zones of city roads", "residential areas", "education zone"), apart from evening noise which, in the zone of city roads, was in accordance with national normative.

Background/Aim: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very common disease in older men. BPH involves the presence of signs of hyperplasia of the stromal and epithelial elements in the prostate with consequent enlargement of its volume. The aim of this study is to analyse the frequency of typical complications in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and the effect of medicamentous treatment. Method: Patients diagnosed BPH were included in the prospective, one-year study. They were divided into 2 groups. The first group (30 patients) consisted of those ones, whose prostate volume was equal to or over 50 cm3 , while and the second group (30 patients) comprised the subjects with prostate volume less than 50 cm3 . The complications of BHP analysed are residual urine (RU), symptomatic urinary infection, haematuria, thickening of the detrusor wall, diverticulum in the bladder, ureterohydronephrosis, renal failure, bladder stone and acute urinary retention (AUR). Results: The majority of patients in both groups were aged 60-69. There was a statistically significant difference in the average value of RU between the groups at the first, second and fifth check-ups (p < 0.05), as well as the complication of symptomatic urinary infection, since the same occurred earlier in the first group than in the second group (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in complications: haematuria, detrusor wall thickening and diverticulum (p > 0.05). Complications: ureterohydronephrosis, renal failure, bladder stone, and AUR were not diagnosed in patients in either group. Conclusion: Relevant medical therapy leads to a reduction of RU and reduces the risk of complications caused by its presence. Other complications of BPH were rare or absent in both groups, suggesting that appropriate and timely applied medical therapy affects the course of BPH and reduces the risk of complications and the need for surgical treatment. Benefit from medicamentous therapy is equally represented in both analysed groups of patients.

Health of the rural area population depends on many environment conditions. Researches on health allows us to determine differences between population health and its needs and to identify potential risks of rural area. There are many factors affecting both individual and commune health of the living area. Therefore, the subject of this article are the factors affecting rural population health and they will be defined. These factors consider income, social relations, access and usage of fundamental communal services, such as water pipeline, sewage system, the quality of available health services, personal responsibility and environment.

Channel of the gallbladder (DC) shows the different anatomical variations, the knowledge is important in the diagnosis and particularly abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate possible gender differences in the morphology of the gallbladder channel (DC). A total sample consists of 50 anatomical liver taken from autopsy cases of both sexes (32 men and 18 women). Samples of liver were fixed in 4% formalin for 4 weeks, and then studied microdissected under scrutiny. We were working length measurement channels of the gallbladder (DC) and typing of junction of the cystic (DC) with the common hepatic duct (DHC). We classify anatomical junction variations DC with DHC into three types: angular, parallel and spiral type, and then performed statistical analysis of the data with respect to gender. Results: The angular type compound we found approximately at 2/3 or 64% of the samples (men-60% of women-72%), the parallel type combination of a total of 22% of the sample (men-31% of women-6%) and spiral type of 14% of the samples (males-9%, women 22%). Parallel and spiral type together make up about 1/3 of the cases. The average length of DC is 3.1 cm and the variation interval of 1.7 to 6.2 cm. We found that the difference circuit between DC and DHC the angular variable (parallel junction and spiral) with respect to gender there but the difference was not statistically significant (p> 0.05).
