Summary: Clinical check up extends on ultrasonography, iv. urography
and computerized tomography. Angiography is also necessary in order to show
the vascular tumor anatomy. Choice of therapy is distated bu elementary
prognostic factors: histological type, primary tumor volume, relations to
normal renal tissue, regional metastases and number of distant metastases.
Therapy:1. Cancer without distant metastatic disease: radical nephrectomy (
primary control of the artery and afterwards of the veins, renal
extirpation together with the outer fat tissue and radical retropritoneal
lymphadenectomy). 2. The advenced and metastatic disease: simple
nephrectomy, regional lymphadenectomy and adjuvent hormonal or
immunotherapy, in spite of quite unclear information about effectiveness of
adjuvant therapy. 3.Tumors in solitary kidney or bilateral tumors: tumor
enucleation or renal resection. Conservitive surgery is also possible in
case of existence of contralateral kidney when the tumor is assymptomatic
and of diameter smaller than 3 cm, well bordered, without regional
metastases and histologically clear tumor cells.4. Solitary metastases:
pulmonary solitary metastases appearing in a certain period of time after
nephrectomy are an indication for extirpation. Pulmonary metastases
appearing in the time of initial diagnosis have pearing in the time of
intial diagnosis have a poor prognosis and shall be trated symptomaticaly.
Bone metastases respond very good on radiotherapy. 5. Advenced patients
age: a simple nephrectomy with regional lymphadenectomy only, without
adjuvant therapy. 6. Poor general condition advanced disease, in general
poor prognosis: kidney embolisation, eventually an adjuvant therapy.
Keywords: Renal, cell, carcinoma, therapy.

Summary: Classifications of malignant tumors is based on the known
prognostic factors. Its aim is to make possible a choice of optimal
therapy, estimation of disease'pronosis, control of own results and
exchange of informations. Today, generally accepted is TNM system of
classification, approved by EAU, WHO, EROTIC and AUA, although the EROTIC
refused to accept the last TNM version from 1987. T is a sign of primary
tumor, N are regional and M distant metastases. With prefix p, these signs
became histopathologic classifications. There is no ideal system of
classification and also the TNM has its advantages and failures. The most
important advantage of few last versions is a division between clinical (
temporary ) and histopathological ( definitive) clasification. Between
failures the one which is not only stubbornly repeated, but also more and
more developed, is further complication instead of simplification. In such
a way, modern classification constantly is going over possibilities of
practical urologist, whom the classification on the first place is aimed
for. According to special organs, in case of renal cell carcinoma for
example, TNM separates veno-cavel thrombus, although this complication does
not play a role in disease'prognosis. In case of bladder cancer,
"papilloma" is again omitted as a special identity, although it is a most
common bladder tumor. On the other side, one is stubbornly insisting on
superficial and eep muscle invasion although every days praxis repeatedly
demonstrates the impossibility for such a division. In case of prostatic
cancer, there are no special remarks, but it seems that tumor grading is in
a way neglected. Relating first of all on the possibilities of practical
urologist, it seems that the most important aim of classification has to be
determination of tumor volume and of histopatological grade in case of
parenchyma tumors. By transitional cell carcinoma, the most important
factors would be deep if invasion of the wall of diseased organ (
"staging") and cytohistologic grade of cellular differentiation
("grading"). In addition, for every urogenital malignancy, an important
prognostic factor is also the existence and number of regional and distant
metastases. In this chapter, the TNM system is compared with some other
systems of classification which are still in use.

Summary: The Osijek General Hospital was founded in 1739. Today, it
serves medical needs of approximately 960.000 inhabitants of eastern
Croatia. It has 1606 hospital beds and 2508 employees of which 332 are
doctors. During the war of Serbia and the Yugoslav Federal Army against
Croatia, in the time period from June 27 to September 1991, the Hospital
was attacked from the neighboring Army garrison. The garrison was just
across the street, at a distance of 50-100 meters. The heaviest attacks
occurred between September 14 and September 17, 1991. At that time the
Hospital was hit 56 times by mortar shells, 21 times by tank shells, 17
times by rockets from multiple rocket launcher, and many times by bullets
from light weapons. Direct fire killed one and wounded three persons
working at the Hospital.

Summary:
The cold wind of war started to blow in this area in May of 1991, with the
massacre of Croatian policemen in a village 45 km from Osijek-Borovo Selo-
one of the first Chetniks' strongholds. From that time Osijek has been
living with the war as its only reality. Direct attacks on the town from
all nearby terorist strongholds started in September 1991. Both heavy
artillery and warplanes were used. Ever since that time, for 9 months now,
killing of civilians and destruction of cultural heritage and material
goods continues. Never in its past had Osijek been attacked in such a
barbaric and cruel manner. The consequences are horrid: 774 persons killed,
346 of that number civilians ( 25 aged 18 or younger, and 8 aged 14 or
younger); 3,763 persons wounded, 1,353 of that number civilians ( 132 aged
18 or younger, 67 aged 14 or younger); Up to now there are 1500
war-invalids registered, 80 % of them physically handicapped; Destruction
of infrastructures is immense. In spite of frequent direct attacks on
health care institutions, essential health care was continually
provided.The consequences of this war are extremely severe and the healing
process-in all the segments-will be both long and difficult. In the
short-term there is a need for help in repairing or rebuilding and basic
furnishing of so many destroyed and robbed homes on currently occupied
territories. In the long-trem, the best form of help would be to invest in
the development of the town, following organisational and developmental
principles implemented in European towns.

Summary: A thousand urolithiasis patients were treated by the method
of the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy using a Siemens Lithostar
second generation lithotriptor.Data obtained three and six months after the
treatment were analyzed.The study group comprised 518 males and 482
females,mean age 45.25 years.Medication with analgetics and occasionally
sedatives was required in 9.6% of patients.Anesthesia was administrated
only inchildren,and when the method was combined with
percutaneousnephrolithotripsy or ureterorenoscopy (22 patients).Out of
1194Out of 1194 stones, 27.81% were situated in the renal pelvis
andpelvicoureteral segment, 39.29% in calices and 22.01% in the ureter.More
than three stones in the pelvis and calices of the same kidney were
regarded as multiple stones and registered as single case(4.52%).There were
6.37% of staghorn stones.The success rate of nearly 90% coincided with the
results reported by other authors and once again presented extracorporeal
shock wave lithotripsy as a method of choice in the treatment of urinary
stones.

Summary: During the war against the Republic of Croatia in the area
of Slavonia and Baranya health institutions suffered great damages. Medical
centres and hospitals in Vukovar, Vinkovci, Pakrac and Nova Gradiška were
practically destroyed, as well as sanatoriums in Lipik and Daruvar, while
the General Hospital in Osijek and Health Center in Daruvar were badly
damaged, so that the line of agression against Croatia is marked by the
destroyed and damaged health institutions.During those attacks onto the
hospitals of Eastern Croatia, four medical workers were killed, 12 were
injured, and the fate of 2 doctors is unknown. Five patients were killed.
The complete material damage on the institutions mentioned above is about
360 million DM. While it was possible, all those institutions were working,
until some of them were occupied by the agressors. Mostly in cellars and
shelters of damaged and destroyed civiilian hospitals, very often under the
artillery and air force attackes, about 7000 wounded ( and 50 JNA soldiers
among them) were treated by the end of 1991. All health institutions were
properly marked with Red Cross signs. The number of those institutions and
the fact that some of them ( for example general Hospital in Osijek) were
shot at from the immediate vicinty, that very precise artillery and
air-craft fire were used and that some of the hospitals were shot before
some military important installations, points to the fact that in the war
against Croatia irregular Serbian troups and the federal army deliberately
destroy health institutions, even though they have been protected by a
number of international humanitarian conventions.

Summary: At the Departments of Urology at Osijek University Hospital
and Sisters of Mercy University Hospital, Croatia Urologic Clinic High
Medical School, Essen, and in Hussens Foundation Evangelical Hospital,
Department of Urology,Pediatric Urology, Essen, Germany, 133 patients
undergoing radical prostatectomy for cancer were followed up during 6
months after operation. The indication for operation included a localized
disease. Retropubic prostatectomy with extraperitoneal lymphadenectomy was
the generally accepted technique. Our experience corresponds to the results
of other authors. There was no postoperative mortality, Vesicourethral
stenosis (14.2 % )was the most frequent complication, which was higher than
the published results. Although not yet accepted as a routine operation,
retropubic prostatectomy when correctly performed, yields good results in
localized prostate cancer, with practicaly no mortality and with an
acceptable percentage of complications.

patients with 607 stones 521 tretmants were performed in 799sessions. Six
months after the ESWL treatment 522 out of 607stones(86%) were
desintergrated completely, i.e. 87.2% of thepatients were stone-free. The
best results were obtained withsolitary pelvic (95.51%) and ureteral stones
(95.8%).Complications due to the obstruction were presents in 10.4% andhave
been solved by endoscopic procedures. These results presentESWL as the best
urolithiasis therapy method.

Summary: Here we presents the results of the ESWL tretmant of the
first103 patients with ureteral stones in the upper, midlle or
lowerureteral third. Most stones were treated "in situ" and
additionalureterorenoscopy and "Push Bang" were applied only rearly.
Oursucces rate of 96% shows ureteral stones to respond very well toan "in
situ" ESWL tretmant.

Summary: Here we presents results of the ESWL treatmant of the first
500renal stone patients. Out of 607 stones, 30.48% were situated inthe
pelvis pelvioureteral segment, 20.5% in lower calices and18.45% in the
ureter. Over 3 stones in the same kidney wereregarded as multiple stones
and registreted as asingle case. In52% of the cases the stone was over 10mm
large. Six months afterthe tretmant the stones were desintegrated. The
succes rate of86% make ESWL as the method of choice in the stone tretmant.

Summary: Urinary tract stones are a very great human trouble. The
stoneformer is not only exposed to extremly painful kidney colics, butalso
to the danger of obstruction and lost of oragan. This andhigh incidence
rate makes urolithiasis a first class socialproblem. We know only a small
part of urolithiasisethipatogenesis. Our investigation include the
frequency,ethiopatogenesis, diagnostics,therapy and prevention
ofurolithiasis.

Summary: The radioimmunologic methods (RIA) are powerfull tolls
forassesing function of parathyroid glands by measuringconcentration of
parathyroidhormon (PTH), c-AMP, calcitonin (CT),and osteocalcin. We are
also able to determined hydroxyvitamin D(25-OH-D) and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin
D (1,25(OH)2 D) by theradioreceptor analysis. Here, we present our pilot

Held: from 09/20/94 to 09/23/94
Summary: Since May the 2nd 1991 until November the 2nd 1992 the
total of 4425 injured persons were treated in Clinical Hospital Osijek,
Croatia. A hundred and fifteen or 2.6 % had urogenital trauma, sixty-four
or 56 % of them penetrating kidney lesions. The percentage of kidney
lesions among the total of 4 425 injured persons was 1,4 %. Sixteen or 25 %
of them were caused by gunshot bullets and forty-eight or 75 % bu fragments
of mines, mortars or grenades. The most of hundred and fifteen urologically
injured patients had associated injuries of some other major organ system,
particularly in the abdomen. An isolated kidney injury was registered in
only three cases. In 53 patients ( 82.81 % ) surgical access was the
laparatomy, and in 9 ( 14,06 % ) lumbotomy ( three of them followed by
laparotomy as the conjoint injury of abdomen was intraopertively detected).
In two cases the thoracophrenolaparotomy was done. Nephrectomy was
performed in 16 patients ( 25.00 %), and by 46 injuried persons ( 75 %) a
conserving procedure was performed: renography in 28 (43.75 %) partial
nephrectomy in 5( 7.81 %), and exploration in 15 ( 23.44 %). Intrahospital
death occurred in eleven ( 18 % ) cases, seven of them in operating
theater. An evaluation of the six months' follow-up results of the
treatment by 90 % of survived patients was presented. In conclusion, the
frequency of kidney war injuries was lower then usually reported in
literature. Associated abdominal injuries justified surgical access by
laparatomy. According to our opinion a high mortality rate was caused by
numerous politraumatic cases in decompensated general condition. Long time
follow-up confirmed the benefits of the undertaken conserving surgical
procedures.

Summary: In the 1991/92 war against Croatia, since May 2. 1991 until
November 2. 1992 a total of 4425 injured persons were treated in Clinical
Hospital Osijek, Croatia. The injuries of the outer genital organs were
present in the percentage of 0.7% or in thirty-two persons. Eleven injuries
( 34 %) were caused by the gunshots bullets and twent-one ( 66 % )
injuries by the fragments of mines, mortars and granades. The different
types of the genital injuries have been observed. Scrotal injuries with or
without testicular involvement have been present in nineteen cases ( 59
%), penile injuries in four ( 13 %) and combined penile plus scrotal
injuries in nine ( 28 %). Genital injuries were combined with others,
mostly abdominal and extremities injuries in twenty-eight cases of 87.5 %.
Ten orchidectomias, six testicular and corpus cavernosum reconstrucions
have been performed. The corpus cavernosum reconstructions have been done
by using fascia musculi recti abdominis free transplant. Intraoperative
mortality was 12.5 % and mostly caused by associated injuries. Long time
follow-up is under way to assess benefits of undertaken operative
procedures. In conclusions, there was an imperative of extremely
conservative and immediate reconstructive surgery in case of genital
injuries.

Summary: An epidemiological study of incidence and risk factors of
stone disease was carried out in 7833 working individuals.Certain risk
factors related to occupation, raised environmental temperature at work,
diet habits and fluid intake were examined. Urolithiasis has been found in
466 ( 5.95%) of the examenees. It appeared more frequently in men ranging
in age from 30 to 50 years, i.e. in the period of the greatest activity,
pointing out not only medical, but also a social feature of the problem.
There was no statistic significance of the relation between the kind of
profession and work and the incidence of urolithiasis. Although it appeared
more frequently in the conditions of raised rather than normal
environmental temperature, no statisticaly significant difference was
found. Neither the relation found between the kind of water consumed and
stone formation was statisticaly significant, while daily intake of liquids
was significantly related to the incidence of urolithiasis. The influence
of diet habits was not found to be statisticaly significant.

Summary: The paper discusses the results of three and six months
follow-up of 220 ureterolithiasis patients treated with extracorporeal
shock wave lithotripsy using the second generation Siemens lithotriptor
"Lithostar". The treated group comprised 135 males and 93 females ranging
in age from 14 to 73 years. Among the total of 239 stones there were 16
nonopaque stones. The upper ureteral third situated 25 % of the stones,
whereas 21% of them were the middle and 54 % in the lower third.
Perioperative auxiliary measures were required in 33 % of the treatments.
Auxiliary measures included ureteral catheter manipulation in 66 patients,
insertion of double -J stent in 6 and prior percutaneous nephrostomy in 5
patients. Three months after the treatment 91.21 % of the patients were
considered as stone-free, and after six months the stone-free ratio
increased to 96.23 %. The majority of the patients with stones located in
midureter were treated in the prone postion. There was no significant
difference of the stone-free outcome regarding the ureter level. It is our
experience that ureteral stones respond very well to "in situ" treatment.
We believe that " push & bang" or ureteroscopy techniques should be applied
only when " in situ" treatment fails.

Summary: One thousand urolithiasis patients were treated with
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy using the second generation Siemens
lithotriptor "Lithostar". The data analyzed were obtianed three and six
months after the treatment. The trated group comprised 516 men and 462

occasionally sedatives were required in 9,6 % of the patients. Anesthesia
was administered only in children and when ESWL was combined with
percutaneous nephrolithotripsy or ureterorenoscopy ( 22 patients).
Among the total of 1194 stones, 27,81 were situated in renal pelvis and
pelvicoureteral segment, 39,29 % in calices and 22,01 % in ureter. More
than three stones in pelvis and calices of the same kidney were regarded as
multiple and registered as a single case ( 4,52 % ). There were 6,37 % of
staghorn stones. The success rate of almost 90 % was similar to the results
reported by other authors, once more affirming ESWL as the method of choice
in the tratment of urinary stones.

Summary: Metabolic evaluation of patients with urolithiasis
includesevaluation of the parathyroid glands. A such study have not yetbeen
done in the area of north-east Slavonia and Baranja. In thestudy
participated 95 healthy subject aged 20-70 yeras. The serumparathyroid
hormone(PTH), plasma and urine c-AMP were determinedby RIA methods using
commercialy avaible kits. Calcium, phosphateand creatinine were determined
by standard methods with automaticanalyzer. Like in literature, we did not
find a significantcorrelation between the values of serum immunoreactive
PTH andfractions of c-AMP in urine. We found that RIA determination ofPTH
is better indicator of parathyorid gland function.

Summary: In this study the influence of working envirovment on
occurenceof renal calculi has been examined, with special attention to
theinfluence of high temperature. Investigating 456 workers at
hightemperature 22 persons suffering from urolithiasis have beenfound
(4.82%). In the control group of 2626 workers, working under common
condition, urolithiasis have been found in 168persons (6.39%).The dfference
is not statisticaly significant.The density of urine has been measured and
the density isstatisticaly significant,but apsolute values are affected
withdaily lqud uptake. Our results suggest that heat does not affectprocess
of urolithiasis.

Summary: One of the disorders present in stone formers
ishyperparathyroidism (HPT). Therefore. the exact determinationhormone
status of parathyrioid glands is of grate imporatance.The aim of this study
was to investigate by means ofradioimmunologic and biochemical methods the
frequency of primaryand secondary HPT in urolithiasis patient. The study
comprised215 patients with proven urolithiasis and the goup of 70
healthyindividuals. Our results are lke in literatue, the frequency
ofprimary HPT associated with urolithiasis is 5%. In our patientspermanent
hypercalcemia was the key finding. However, ourexpirience suggest there is
not individual test for diagnosisprimary or secundary HPT in patients with
urolithiasis.

Summary: There are nultiple epidemiological risk factors in the
development of urolithiasis. This study is dealing with the role of
occupation and conditions at work as risk factors in the occurence of stone
disease. The examinees were men working in several factories in the region
of Slavonia and Barania. They were administered the general questionnaire
of the Multicentric Programme of Investigation of Urolithiasis in Croatia
and were asked about age, occupation and conditions at work. Anong 1.434
examinees (avarage age 39,7 % +/- 10,7 yr) 73 (5,1 %) had urolithiasis
(average age 42,3+/-8,9 yr). Most patients with stone disease were workers
working under conditions of high temperature ( 14,9 %) and were more
frequently affected than heavy physical wokers who were not working at high
temperature. The office workers were not working at high temperature. The
office workers were less affected ( 4,3 % ) than dirvers (5,7%), but not
significantly. Psychological testing of drivers by the method of Cornell
index showed that stress too might be a risk factor in the occurence and
development of urolithiasis.

Title: Incidence and risk factors of stone formation in working
population in Osijek community
Faculty: Medicinski fakultet Zagreb
Date of defense: 10/27/94
Language: hrvatski
Number of pages: 61
Summary: An epidemiological study of incidence and risk factors of
stone disease was carried out in 28 firms of the Osijek community. In this
tudy 7833 working individuals, making up 15,68 % of working population of
the Osijek community have been examined. The subject were questioned about
personal and family history of urolithiasis. Certain risk factors related
to occupation, conditions of the raised temperature in the working
environment, alimentary habit and fluid intake were examined. Urine pH and
urine osmolality were measured. Urine sediments were examined for
cristalluria. Urolithiasis has been found in 466 ( 5.95 %) subjects.
Urolithiasis appeared more frequently in men in the age of greatest life
activity and productivity, from 30 to 50 years of age. The influence of
family heredity was statistically significant ( P smaller than 0,05 ).
Urolithiasis appeared more frequently in certain professions, but no
statistic relation has been found between the higher frequency of
urolithiasis and the kind work ( P higher than 0,05 ). Urolithiasis has
been found in 51 ( 6,51 % ) subjects working in the conditions of raised
temperature in the environment and in 415 ( 5.93 %) subjects working at
normal temperature although the difference was not statistically
significant ( P higher than 0,05 ) The water from public aqueducts was used
by 60,80 % of subjects, and 4,47 % of subjects concummed mainly mineral
water. We failed to find the relation between the type of water consummed
and the higher frequency of urolithiasis ( P higher than 0,05), but the
intake of liquids frequncy of urolithiasis ( P smaller than 0,05). Out of
all 61,94 % of subjects concummed mainly protein food. Statistically,
there was no relation between the consummation of mainly protein food and
the higher frequency of urolithiasis ( P higher than 0,05). The high
frequency of urolithiasis ( 5,95 %), high relapse rate ( 40,77 %), and the
apperance of urolithiasis in the age of greatest life activity and
productivity shows that urolithiasis in an important social and medical
problem of working population in the Osijek community. The proved
relationship with certain risk factors points to the fact that we should,
in collaboration with health-services of firms, improve the prevention
metaphilaxis, diagnostics and treatment of urolithiasis.
Keywords: Osijek, urolithiasis, occupation, raised environmental temperature, diet, fluid intake.
