Background. Vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap is commonly used in the reconstruction of composite bony and soft tissue defects of the lower third of the face due to the outstanding quality of its cutaneous component. The aim was to evaluate the primary and overall success in the reconstruction of mandibular defects, following war injuries, with vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap. Methods. At the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Military Medical Academy Belgrade, there were eight patients with this kind of defect following war injury, and the mandible was reconstructed with a vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap. Bony compartment of the graft was harvested as up to 11 cm long segment of radial circumference. Results. The localization and structure of the defect, features of a harvested compound graft, the procedure of the reestablishment of the mandibular continuity was presented as well as immediate and late complications during the consolidation period, and the primary successful reconstruction in 87.5% of the patients. Conclusion. The primary and overall success in the mandibular defects reconstruction with a vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap was equal or even better than those presented in the literature on the reconstruction of the similar defects after tumor resections.

In February 2020, the Bulgarian government established the National Operational Headquarters for Combating the COVID-19 Pandemic in Bulgaria. General Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, a military doctor, professor at the Military Medical Academy in Sofia, was appointed as its chairman. This paper presents a case study on the public image of Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, its readings and interpretations by the audience, and the specific fan culture that emerged around his media persona during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria. Placed in the spotlight of the media at the very beginning of the crisis, Mutafchiyski became extremely popular as the public figure most strongly associated with the fight against the spread of the disease in the country. Around his media persona, shaped in the public imagination as a wartime leader, a fan culture has grown with all its characteristic features and dimensions: fans and anti-fans, affirmative and transformative fandom. As a fictional character, Mutafchiyski has appeared in numerous forms of vernacular creativity: poems, songs, material objects, jokes, fake news, conspiracy theories, and memes. In this way, the General has become the main character of Bulgarian pandemic folklore and the focal point of a participatory pandemic.

Background/Aim. Esotropia is the most common manifestation form of strabism accompanied by refraction deviations and amblyopia. The aim of this prospective study was to present the outcomes of surgical treatment of esotropia in children and adolescents. Methods. Within the period from January 1st 2006 to February 1st 2007 at the Clinic for Ophtalmology, Military Medical Academy, Belgrade a total of 25 patients with esotropia (34 eyes) and previously corrected refraction anomaly and treated amblyopia were operated on. The patients were 4-19-year of age. All of the patients were submitted to a complete ophtalmologic and orthoptic examination prior to the surgery, and a month, three months and six months after the surgery. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia. Out of the total number of the patients nine were operated on both eyes, while 16 patients on one eye with amblyopia or frequent esodeviation. Nine patients were submitted to retroposition of the inner straight muscle, two to myectomy of the outer straight muscle, while in 14 of the patients a combination of retroposition and myectomy was performed. The patients were divided into three groups according to the preoperative angle at the distance and followed-up accordingly after the surgery. Deviation angle at the distance in the group I was 18-25 DP, in the group II 26-35 PD, while in the group III it was 36-60 PD. Results. The most numerous, group I (12 patients; 48%), a month following the surgery showed angle reduction by 55.58%, after three months 63.25%, and after six months 63.92%. The group II consisted of 8 patients (32%) showed angle reduction by 70.75% a month following the surgery, by 76% after three months, and by 79.12% after six months. The group III (5 patients; 20%) showed angle reduction by 72.20% a month following the surgery, 79.20 after three months, and 80.12% after six months following the surgery. Conclusion. The best postoperative outcomes after a month, three and six months were obtained in the group of patients with the highest esodeviation angle at the distance solved by the surgery on both eyes. Timely surgical treatment befell into major precondition for developing and maintaining the elements of binocular vision in the operated on patients. .

Aim. To evaluate the value of cementless hip arthroplasty in the treatment of posttraumatic and atraumatic osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head. Methods. The study was conducted at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Military Medical Academy, between January 1st, 1999 and December 31st, 2003. Twenty five patients with 27 implanted endoprostheses, and the diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and radiographically confirmed Arlet-Ficat stage III and IV were evaluated retrospectively. The results were evaluated according to Harris Hip Score (HHS). The research included 10 patients with traumatically induced osteonecrosis and 15 patients (17 endoprothesis) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The mean age of the patients in the group with posttraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head was 41 (19-62) years, and in the group of the patients with atraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head it was 40.2 (21-53) years. Complications included one case with postoperative luxation, and one case with iatrogenic sciatic nerve palsy. Results. The average Harris Hip Scores in the group of posttraumatic osteonecrosis were 31 points preoperatively and 86 points postoperatively. In the group of osteonecrosis of atraumatic etiology, the average Harris Hip Score was 28 points preoperatively, and 77 points postoperatively. Postoperative Harris Hip Scores were compared with the Student's t-test and the results showed no statistically significant difference (p = 0,125). Conclusions. Our study did not find any significant difference between the results of posttraumatic and atraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head treated with cementless endoprosthesis.

Background/Aim. In Serbia brucellosis is a primary disease of the animals in the southern parts of the country. The aim of this study was to describe the first outbreak of human and animal brucellosis in the region of Sabac, Serbia. Methods. An epidemiological investigation was conducted to identify a source of outbreak and the ways of transmission of brucellosis infection in human population. A descriptive and analytical epidemiological methods (cohort study) were used. Additional data included monthly reports of the infectious diseases from the Institutes of Public Health and data from the Veterinary Specialistic Institute in Sabac. The serological tests for human brucellosis cases were performed in the Laboratory of the Military Medical Academy; laboratory confirmation of animal brucellosis cases was obtained from the reference laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Belgrade. Results. Twelve cases of brucellosis were recorded from February 9 to September 1, 2004. Total attack rate was 8.1% (7.5% of males, 14.2% of females). Relative risk (RR) of milk consumption was 8.9 (95% confidence interval: 1.63-13.38), and RR for direct contact with animals was 14 (95% confidence interval: 3.5-55.6). The prevalence of seropositive animals in 33 villages of the Macva region accounted for 0.8%. Regarding animal species, sheep were predominant - 264 (95.7%). Out of a total number of seropositive animals, ELISA results were positive in 228 (88.7%) of them. Conclusion. As contact epidemics generally last longer, it is probable that the implemented measures of outbreak control did reduce the length of their duration.
