effectively reduced stress in students with moderate and severe stress levels after two months of intervention. MBSR was associated with a statistically significant reduction in stress, with 63.48% of cases showing reduced stress levels, and a group reduction in stress score of 5.97 with a 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.96 to 6.96, (p=0.008). The logistic regression model showed that being a woman, disagreeing with parents, having a loved one with a severe illness, ending a relationship, and financial trouble were factors associated with moderate and severe stress. Conclusions. Delivering MBSR was associated with an improvement in stress status with a significant reduction in stress scores among students. These findings provide evidence that future research is necessary to design tailored strategies for coping with stress in academic environments.

doctors in a tertiary university hospital in Albania, we have described our experience and the techniques we are currently employing in the Oncology Service of the University Hospital Center “Mother Theresa”, providing the reader with a brief history of evolution of surgical oncology techniques to manage breast cancer case and the main contributing professionals to this field. This study has analyzed, for the first time in Albania, the evolution of surgical techniques used to treat patients with breast cancer, ranging from modified radical mastectomy to ultimate techniques of immediate reconstruction using prosthesis and biological meshes, in line with latest international guidelines. To illustrate these new techniques and new fron-tiers of breast surgery in Albania, we have provided the reader with real cases of patients being treated in our Oncology Service. These were patients showing up at the premises of Surgical Unit of Oncological Hospital, University Hospital Center “Mother Theresa”, with the diagnosis of breast cancer. All the transition démographique et les changements de mode de vie. Il y a eu une évolution dans les techniques de chirurgie mammaire offrant aux patientes la technique ultime à l’hôpital public d’oncologie, dans les locaux du centre hospitalier universitaire “Mère Theresa” à Tirana, avec d’excellents résultats. Conclusions. Pour un pays en développement, nous pensons que l’utilisation du type ultime de chirurgie du cancer du sein : la démolition et la reconstruction immédiate à l’aide de prothèses et de treillis biolo-giques, représente de nouvelles frontières dans la chirurgie oncologique du sein et notre objectif est de l’offrir correctement à tous les patients, en particulier aux jeunes les patients. Mots-clés: Albanie, cancer du sein, chirurgie. Conclusions. For a developing country we think that the use of ultimate type of breast cancer surgery: demo-lition and immediate reconstruction using prosthesis and biological mesh, represents new frontiers in breast surgical oncology and it is our aim to offer it properly to all patients, especially to young patients.

patients who are discharged during catastrophic situations (72%). The management of critical incidents was not adequately integrated into the emergency plan. Conclusions. The results revealed a moderate level of crisis and disaster preparedness in hospitals. To improve the level of preparedness for crisis and disaster events, certain changes are advised to be made in hospitals. These results demonstrate a lack of interest in emergency management planning training. Special training is required to raise the awareness of hospital staff on the management of emergency situations.
