Background: For many years, pharmacy and medicine were inseparable sciences, so everything that was done in the field of medicine, that is, treatment, can be related to pharmacy. The history of pharmacy therefore also includes the history of medicine, at least until the 13th century, when pharmacy was officially separated from medicine. Objective: The aim of this study was: to describe the books and monographs that are available on the Internet, which deal with the study of the history of Pharmacy; and to show pharmaceutical history museums around the world and their unique collections of pharmaceutical artifacts. Methods: During the preparation of this paper, a descriptive method of analysis from the available literature was used. The analysis of available literature included professional books, monographs, articles and other literature available on online browsers. Results and Discussion: Today there are a large number of societies, academies, associations and foundations dealing with the history of pharmacy. Also, a lot of books, monographs and scientific papers published in on-line databases. The goal of each organization is the research of historical facts in the field of pharmacy and medicine that will be shared with professionals, but also persons who are not from the profession (doctors, librarians, archaeologists, archivists). A large number of museums have been opened for the history of pharmacy, and almost every developed country has such a museum. Such museums represent a national treasure, because they preserve the valuables of pharmacy from the territory of the country, as well as the world.

The play tries to describe making important–life & death–medical decisions under uncertainty. While the overarching goal is to arrive at the most optimal, rational solution, the process of decision-making inherently involves human interactions – here between the patient, her husband, the doctor- fraught with emotions and navigated within immediate familiar and larger social and medical settings in the attempt to provide best possible and compassionate help to a human being afflicted with a life-threatening disease. The play revolves around the optimal choice of treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer that a young 45-year-old woman and her family face: from not being treated to standard treatment to enrollment in various experimental studies. By covering most scientific concepts using dialogues between the real-life protagonists, the play attempts to show–and educate the broader public–how scientific progress is inevitably made because individuals (“made of flesh and blood”) have consented to participate in medical research while searching for the best solution for them as individuals. It uses a real-life example to answer an elusive ethical “triple aim”- arriving at a decision that respects the right of a person to decide as an autonomous human being, has the best possible chances to personally benefit from the treatments under consideration while contributing to knowledge that can help others in the future. Act 1: uncertainty about the diagnosis. Act 1, Scene 2: uncertainty about treatment (doctor’s office, after biopsy). Act 2,1: uncertainty about treatment (discussion at home). Act2, 2: decision. The annotations (endnotes) provide further explanations of the theoretical and philosophical concepts that were converted into the real-life drama of a patient facing a life-threatening disease. It attempts to demonstrate the central role of uncertainty that shape these decisions calling on science to help address them. The main goal of the play is to illustrate the applicability of many theoretical concepts of the science of uncertainty to real-life decision-making to show that they do matter to all of us individually and collectively. The author hopes that by converting the scientific, philosophical, and technical writings into this play, the public would benefit more from this text than hundreds of other scientific articles he has written on the topic.).

Background: The VEPs provide an objective measure of brain function, analyzing integrity of visual processing. With patients affected with schizophrenia, the changes with the implementation of VEP are evident, such as symmetrical deceleration of the impulse (reduction of the amplitude) and the continuance of latency, which points to a degenerative illness, suggesting the presence of optical neuritis or hemianopsia conjoined with mentioned intracranial illness. Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the correlation of l P100 latency and P100 amplitude (µV) between patients with schizophrenia and patients with migraine headache. Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were applied. Methods: The sample included 80 subjects: a) S group- 40 patients with schizophrenia (21 males; 19 females), b) H group-40 healthy subjects with migraine headache (10 males; 30 females). The study was conducted at the Department of Psychiatry, Neurology and Radiology, University Clinical Center Sarajevo. Results: Our research revealed positive correlations were registered in P100 latency in left view field of both eyes and in P100 amplitude in the region of right eye (p=0.01) in comparison with left eye region (p=0.05) in patients with schizophrenia. Conclusion: Results imply that the cognitive impairment seen in schizophrenia is not just due to deficits in higher order aspects of cognition but also encompasses significant deficits in early sensory processing. Our study is useful to initiate new questions and recommendations for further studies, specifically on changes in the occipital lobe in the schizophrenic patient’s brain. Changes in the volume in the occipital lobe are quite evident and further studies are required to better understand how the progressive brain changes affect the structural, functional, and metabolic activities of the occipital lobe in schizophrenia.

Background: Introduction of Cardiac surgery as a treatment alternative for patients with cardiac pathology was realized at University Clinical Center Tuzla (UKCT) in 1998 by a hybrid team from the USA and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Education of personnel was performed in Buffalo, NY and on site in Tuzla. Objective: This article gives an overview of development of Cardiac surgery in Bosnia and Herzegovina and proposes concrete proposals for improving health care services for patients in need of these services, Also, author outlined major issues facing medicine in BIH, focusing on cardiac surgery. Methods: Author used descriptive method for write an overview of development of Cardiac surgery in Bosnia and Herzegovina based on personal facts and experiences in the war time 1992-1995 in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in postwar period. Results and Discussion: Before the war of 1992-1995 Bosnia and Herzegovina did not have Cardiac surgery or Invasive cardiology. Patients from BIH were operated in other centers in former Yugoslavia at significant financial expense to the republic and personal inconvenience for patients. During the war and in the post-war period such arrangements became unrealistic. With assistance from USA and Norway a Center for Invasive Cardiology (CIC) and Cardiac Surgery (CS) was estab lished in University Clinical Center in Tuzla (UCCT/UKCT). At present 5 Cardiac surgery centers are functioning in Federation of BIH (FBIH) and one center has been established in Republic of Srpska (RS). Conclusion: Author hopes and believes that the new generation growing up, will throw away the evil forces still preventing BIH from reaching its potential in Cardiac surgery and in the society as a whole.
