Isolation of Bhanja virus from ticks in Yugoslavia.

Two strains of Bhanja (BHA) virus, an ungrouped arbovirus, were isolated from Haemaphysalis punctata ticks collected from sheep on the island of Brac in the Yugoslavian Adriatic. Serologic testing gave evidence of the endemicity of BHA virus on the island, and antibody prevalence rates were high for both man (35.8%--ranging locally to 61.3%) and sheep (100%). No antibody was found in 82 small mammals tested. Evidence of a natural cycle involving ticks and sheep, the potential significance of this virus for man and for animals of agricultural importance, and factors related to its epidemiology are discussed.

General practice in Croatia, Yugoslavia.

The position and importance of general practice in the Yugoslavian Health Service is being reviewed in a study of the working conditions, the composition and relationship of the primary health care team, the workload, and the opinions of the patients in Croatia, Yugoslavia.We found that many practices had barely half the recommended equipment, that the average workload was 40 patients a day, and that many general practitioners expected others to improve their organisation rather than undertaking it themselves.Those general-practitioner teams which we rated highly were also the most popular with patients. The job satisfaction of nurses varied and was highest when the doctors in the team did not have a high need for status for themselves.We consider general practice to be of crucial importance in the total system of health care in our country and believe that general practitioners should have the same status as specialists.

[Comparison of upper urinary tract tumors in the region of Balkan nephropathy with those of other regions of Yugoslavia].

OBJECTIVES: To compare the epidemiological and histological characteristics of upper urinary tract tumours in the region of Balkan endemic nephropathy with those of urothelial tumours observed in other regions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 1970 to 1997, 766 patients were treated in the Belgrade Department of Urology for an upper urinary tract tumour. These patients were derived from 3 regions: the region of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), the region of probable Balkan endemic nephropathy (PBEN) and the region without Balkan endemic nephropathy (WBEN). The incidence of tumours in BEN + PBEN patients was 68% versus 32% for WBEN patients. The histological and epidemiological characteristics of the tumours in these three groups were compared. RESULTS: Tumours were more frequent in women in the BEN and PBEN groups (1.2:1 and 1.1:1) than in the WBEN group (0.6:1). The tumour was diagnosed an average of 5 years later in the first 2 groups than in the WBEN group (p < 0.05). The BEN and PBEN groups presented a higher incidence of renal failure (45% and 35%), but especially a much higher incidence of bilateral tumours (13% and 6%) than in the WBEN region (2%). CONCLUSION: Our analysis shows that upper urinary tract tumours depend on geographical factors: the incidence of these tumours is significantly higher in regions of BEN and PBEN, women are more frequently affected, tumours are associated with a high incidence of renal failure, bilateral tumours are more frequent, and tumours are more frequent in older patients. Comparison of the histological and pathological characteristics of the tumours did not reveal any significant difference between these three regions.

The survey of healthcare software in Yugoslavia.

The aim of this study is to identify vendors of software packages applicable to health care system as well as to evaluate software packages offered to the health sector by a variety of sources, namely state owned software development companies, privately operated software development companies as well as sole traders. The approach undertaken was to preselect the potential suppliers via an initial targeted interview. Subsequently a questionnaire, consisting of 23 questions, was addressed to the selected vendors and suppliers. The response rate to the questionnaire was 58%. Investigation of 113 has revealed the non government software suppliers clearly lead in copyright ownership, IBM compatible personal computers were the platform of choice whereas majority of code was written utilising languages capable of supporting relational data base queries. The final outcome of the above study is a database of software packages and applications available to the health sector offering the health professionals and institutions guide lines and support in developing information systems, relevant subsystems and modules.
