THE AIM To determine the incidence of perinatal mortality, as well as the frequency of premature deliveries. METHODS We analyzed the data of birth protocol at the Clinics for Gynecology and Obstetrition at the University Clinical Centre in Tuzla in period 1992-2006. RESULTS Perinatal mortality gradually declines in the period of 1992-2000. The decline owns mostly to early neonatal mortality...

This article describes the author’s personal experience with a moderate but chronic case of acne vulgaris and its many treatments over a 43 year period. The eventual remission of this condition, attributed to relatively high doses of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) over a three year period, is discussed, along with a theoretical basis for this response. A proposal is also made that the work of Dr...
