Psychiatric disorders represent one of the leading problems of the public health community in the modern world today, especially because their incidence is steadily increasing and they are one of the main reasons for the overall disease burden in Europe. One of the most frequently diagnosed, yet under recognized diseases, is depression. Depression, whether a symptom, part of a syndrome or an independent diagnosis, is characterized by feelings of sadness, loss of interest and pleasure in activities that normally bring joy to a person, and can affect how a person feels, thinks and behaves. It affects all age and social groups, as well as both sexes, it is often comorbid with other physical diseases, and increases the risk of developing other physical diseases. There are certain differences between the sexes in the prevalence, the way a certain sex group deals with problems caused by depression, and the possible causes of these differences, which we present in more detail in this paper. Differences are observed in all cultures, environments and across different age groups. Patients suffering from depression have a particularly high risk of committing suicide. Suicide is a psychopathological phenomenon of multifactorial aetiology that is most often associated with psychiatry and mental disorders and is not a diagnosis in itself, but a complication of many psychiatric disorders. here are many differences in the rate of suicide by age and sex, as well as in the method of suicide, which we also present in more detail in this paper.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, (auto) immune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The aim of the study was to determine the distribution of cognitive disorders in MS in relation to demographic parameters, degree of clinical disability and depression. The prospective study included 135 subjects with MS in the Clinic of Neurology of the University Clinical Center in Tuzla. The first group consisted of women (101 respondents) and the second of men (34 respondents). Clinical assessment instruments were: Expanded Disability Status Scale Score, Mini Mental Status, Beck Depression Scale, Battery of Cognitive Function Assessment Tests: Wechsler Intelligence Scale, Revised Beta Test, Raven Coloured Progressive Matrix, Wechsler Memory Verification Scale, Audio Memory Test learning, Rey-Osterriecht complex character test, verbal fluency test. There were no significant differences between the mentioned groups in age, level of education, duration of the disease, severity of disease symptoms or in the prevalence of certain forms of MS. Cognitive disorders are present in 40-60 % of subjects with MS. Visuospatial, visuoconstructive, visuoperceptive functions, mnestic functions were most affected in both groups of respondents. There was no difference in the level of depression in relation to sex. Poor results of cognitive parameters in 32.7 % can be considered the cause of high scores of EDSS in female patients and in 29.2 % in patients, which is not statistically significant. The correlation between depression and EDSS is positive but not statistically significant in both sexes. Cognitive disorders are heterogeneous regardless of sex. Cognitive impairment in MS patients is related to impairment of working ability and memory, executive functions and attention. Subjects with a more severe degree of clinical disability had poorer cognitive functions.

One of the primary causes of death worldwide is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Women typically have a lower incidence of CVD than men, however after acute cardiovascular events, women have a higher mortality and worse prognosis. Different CVDs, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and aortic diseases, exhibit these sex variances. These differences have raised serious concerns so sex consideration is significant for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of CVD. In order to highlight the need of taking sex differences into account when determining cardiovascular risk, this study seeks to offer an overview of sex-related differences in numerous common CVDs as well as an analysis of potential factors linked with the disparities. Future studies should focus on how to define and include sex-related indicators into the methods currently used for cardiovascular risk assessment and management.

Patients who need palliative care have complex physical and psychosocial needs during their illness. The results of previous studies show clear sex inequalities in the occurrence of various symptoms and the need for palliative care. Despite the undoubted sex differences in the creation of palliative care, sex is not a key determinant and is regularly neglected. According to the results of previous studies, women live longer than men, but they live more years with dis- abilities, especially with cognitive impairment. They end up in hospices much more often than men and die more often in institutions (21 % vs. 10 %). The biggest sex differences are present in the domain of caregivers. Most caregivers are women and according to the results of studies it is evident that more than 75 % of all caregivers are women and that women spend 50 % more time providing care than men. The time and effort that women put into caregiving is largely unrecognised and assumed to be a ‘natural’ role for women. In contrast, male caregivers are seen as heroes and numerous studies show that male caregivers receive more support than female caregivers. This is thought to be the reason why female carers have more physical and mental health problems, including anxiety and depression. Health professionals also play a role in the creation of this stereotype. A recent study showed that nurses felt that wives and daughters of patients needed less help than husbands and sons. Overall, all studies show that although women provide most of the care during life, they often lack a reciprocal level of care at the end of their lives. The policy of palliative care is focused on the approach that care at the end of life ‘in the community’ is desirable and achievable for everyone. Unfortunately, the fact that in this context care falls disproportionately on one person - who is most likely a woman - is ignored.

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a noninflammatory, nonatherosclerotic disorder that cause arterials steno- sis, occlusion, aneurysm, dissection, and artery tortuosity. The etiology of FMD remains unknown. The most frequently involved arteries are the renal, internal carotid, vertebral arteries and visceral. Among adults, FMD is more common in females. Most common symptoms are renovascular hypertension, headache, pulsatile tinnitus, neck pain, and abdominal pain. We present a 62-year old female patient who was diagnosed with grade 3 arterial hypertension at the age of twenty -nine. During diagnostic treatment, narrowing of the right renal artery was determined and percutaneous transcutaneous angioplasty of the right renal artery was performed. Diagnosis of fibromuscular dysplasia was suspected. After this procedure, the value of blood pressure was normalized. At the age of forty, the patient was re-introduced with antihypertensive, and CT angiography showed 50 % lumen stenosis of the right renal artery. She was referred to a neurologist. The patient has been complaining about frequent headaches, pulsatile tinnitus in the right ear, increased fatigue, and occasional abdominal pain for many years. Neurosonological testing showed partially wall thickening in the left common carotid artery and multiple stenosis and dilatation of the left internal carotid artery. The left vertebral artery has multiple stenoses and dilatations in the distal V1 segment. The findings indicated changes in fibromuscular dysplasia and the diagnosis of FMD was confirmed.
