OBJECTIVE Postoperative eccentric macular hole formation is a rare complication after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling for a macular hole. We report a rare case of late eccentric macular hole formation following successful macular hole surgery. CASE REPORT A 73-year old woman was referred with a long standing full thickness macular hole in both eyes. The patient underwent sequential cataract surgery, 23 gauge sutureless pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and inverted flap in both eyes. Control examination six months after the surgery revealed best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 in both eyes, complete closure of the macular hole, with retinal atrophy in both eyes. Control examination eighteen months after the surgery revealed a stable finding in the right eye and an eccentric temporal macular hole in the left eye. The patient was closely observed for one year with no signs of visual acuity reduction or macular hole changes. CONCLUSION Postoperative eccentric macular holes may occur after a long follow up period. Most cases remain stable for a long period of time and do not require further surgical intervention. This case highlights the need for close monitoring of patients after macular hole surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling.

CASE REPORT A rare case of a double suprascapular vein was observed in a digitalized human cadaver on Anatomage Table 5.0. The vein divided into two branches, one passing over the transverse scapular ligament, while the other one coursed underneath the ligament, inside the notch. CONCLUSION This variation has major clinical importance as it is associated with the appearance of Suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome.

CASES PRESENTATION Here we present two cases of degloving injury of the lower extremity, both resulting from motorway accidents. The first one concerned a 65-year-old man suffering from multiple limb fractures and a degloving injury of the right thigh, which was immediately treated with extensive debridement and primary full-thickness skin graft re-approximation. The second case involved a 63-year-old woman who presented with cervical vertebrae fractures and a degloving injury of the left posterior leg, which, due to the severity of her condition, was treated with a delayed approach resulting in skin necrosis, which required surgical debridement, alginate dressing and foam cover. CONCLUSIONS The optimal approach to treatment of degloving injuries is challenging and they warrant immediate surgical attention. An early diagnosis and the evaluation of tissue viability are important in order to prevent limb-threatening situations.

METHOD This descriptive cross-sectional observational study was conducted in Mamyzawa refugee camp in Erbil City, Iraq, in November 2017. Seventy-nine preschoolers (43 aged 4 years and 36 aged 5 years) and their mothers (79) were chosen for this study. The study was accomplished in two days. Reversan concentration The first day the mothers' oral health knowledge, children's behavior towards oral hygiene, eating behaviors of their children and their use of dental services were assessed by a questionnaire. The day after, examinations of the dental health status of the children were performed. SPSS statistics software was used to analyze the collected data. RESULTS Mothers' knowledge of oral health was low, and 63% of the children had dental caries. Five-year old children had more dental caries (77.8%) than the four-year old (51.20 %). Frequency of sweet consumption, brushing assistance, and irregular use of dental services were the main factors that had relation to the high dental caries in those children. CONCLUSION The mothers living in Mamyzawa refugee camp do not have enough knowledge of oral health, which was led to high caries prevalence among their children, indicating that an intensive education program is required for the mothers and oral health care for their children.

METHODS In a cross-sectional study, an ad hoc questionnaire was delivered to a sample of BH first-year university students. The following data were collected socio-demographic features, consumption of neuroenchancing substances, the Westside Test Anxiety Scale (WTAS) and academic performance. RESULTS A total of 214 students were included. Consumption of lifestyle substances, coffee, energy drinks, nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana, for the purpose of neuroenhancement increased during the week before the exams. OTC cognitive enhancer use was reported by 31.0%, and of benzodiazepines by 1.5% of students. No psycostimulants were used. A high to extremely high exam WTAS score was reported in 38.3% students. The exam WTAS score was positively correlated with consumption of coffee (rho=0.31; P less then 0.001), energy drinks (rho=0.18; P=0.009), and nicotine (rho=0.22; P=0.001), and negatively correlated with last exam grade (rho=-0.33; P less then 0.001). The exam WTAS score was a significant independent predictor (OR=0.55; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.97, P=0.039) for self-assessed academic performance. Self-assessed academic performance was positively correlated with last exam grade (rho=0.15; P=0.043). CONCLUSIONS Although first-year BH university students do not seem to use either prescription or illicit psycostimulants, the consumption of nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana is worrying. However, the consumption of these neuroenhancing substances seems not to be related to better self-assessed academic performance. Finally, exam anxiety seems to be a significant problem among BH first-year university students. Copyright © 2019 by Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
