AB  - Ментална хигијена је приступ очувању менталног здравља кроз различите
методе са вишеструким циљевима. Једна од најзначајних метода је физичка
активност. Ефекти физичке активности на когницију су позитивни од раног
детињства до сенијума. Показано је да вежбање побољшава расположење и
самопоуздање смањује негативне ефекте стреса, делује против депресије и анксиозности.

AB  - Mental hygiene is an approach to maintaining
mental health through various methods with
multiple goals. One of the most important
methods is physical activity. The effects of
physical activity on cognition are positive
from early childhood to old age. Exercise
improves mood and self-confidence, reduces
the negative effects of stress, acts against
depression and anxiety. At the molecular level,
physical activity regulates the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal

axis, increases the
production of opioids and endocannabinoids,
while the main mechanism is increased
secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic
factor (BDNF). Physical activity improves cognition, reduces symptoms of depression
and anxiety in children and adolescents and
their scholastic achievement. Several studies
have examined the impact of physical activity
in preschool children on cognition and
emotions. The results are mostly positive and
indicate the need for greater representation
of physical activity, free and organized,
among preschool children with favorable 
effects on their cognitive and emotional 
development. In particular, intellectually
disabled children were studied in terms of the
effects of physical activity on their mental
health. Studies indicate the importance
of applying physical activity methods in
children with autistic spectrum disorders
and executive function in developmental
coordination disorder.

AB  - Myalgic encephalomyelitis is a complex, multisystem disease with chronic course significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Physical and mental exertion intolerability, muscle pain, and sleep problems are the main features accompanied often with cognitive inefficacy and vegetative symptoms. Prevalence is 7-3000 per 100,000 adults. It is estimated that 90% of the patients are misdiagnosed. Pathogenesis is still only speculative but current research points to disturbances in the immunological system, inflammatory pathways, autonomic and central nervous system, muscle and mitochondria, as well as alterations of gut microbiota and gut permeability. The onset is typically acute, following an infectious disease. Exertional intolerance lasting for more than six months is an important diagnostic factor. The core features must be moderate to severe and present at least 50% of the time. Diagnostic criteria should be fulfilled and differential diagnosis should be made to exclude other potential pathological conditions or to diagnose comorbidities. Brain magnetic resonance imaging morphometry has shown gray matter atrophy in occipital lobes bilaterally, right angular gyrus, and the posterior division of the left parahippocampal gyrus, consistent with memory problems and potentially with impairment of visual processing. Treatment is still symptomatic and of partial benefit. Symptomatic treatment can include medications for controlling pain and sleep problems, graded exercise and cognitive behavioral therapy. Larger controlled trials are needed to shed more light on this challenging condition.
AB  - Mijalgični encefalomijelitis je složeno, multisistemsko oboljenje sa hroničnim tokom koje značajno utiče na kvalitet života bolesnika. Slaba tolerancija na fizički i mentalni napor, bolovi u mišićima i problemi sa spavanjem glavne su odlike i često su praćene kognitivnom neefikasnošću i vegetativnim simptomima. Prevalencija je 7-3000 na 100.000 odraslih. Procenjuje se da je 90% ovih bolesnika pogrešno dijagnostikovano. Patogeneza je i dalje samo spekulativna, ali trenutna istraživanja ukazuju na poremećaje u imunološkom sistemu, inflamatornom odgovoru, autonomnom i centralnom nervnom sistemu, mišićima i mitohondrijama, kao i promene mikrobiote i propustljivosti creva. Početak bolesti je tipično akutan i prati infektivnu bolest. Netolerancija napora koja traje duže od šest meseci važan je dijagnostički kriterijum. Osnovne karakteristike moraju biti umerene do teške i prisutne najmanje 50% vremena. Isključivanje drugih mogućih patoloških stanja ili komorbiditetnih dijagnoza zahteva zadovoljavanje dijagnostičkih kriterijuma i diferencijalno dijagnostičko sagledavanje. Morfometrijska snimanja mozga magnetnom rezonancom pokazala su atrofiju sive mase u okcipitalnim režnjevima bilateralno, desnom angularnom girusu i posteriornom levom parahipokampalnom girusu, što može dovesti do problema sa pamćenjem i oštećenja vizuelne obrade informacija. Lečenje je i dalje simptomatsko i samo delimično uspešno. Simptomatski tretman može da uključuje lekove za kontrolu bola i problema sa spavanjem, doziranu fizičku aktivnost i kognitivno-bihevioralnu terapiju. Potrebne su veće studije da bi se razjasnilo ovo medicinsko stanje.

AB  - Omega 3 fatty acids are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs). The basic molecule is the Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from which LC-PUFAs are formed: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is the predominant fatty acid in the brain especially in synaptic membranes, astrocytes, myelin and organelle membranes. LC-PUFAs lead to increased membrane fluidity and permeability, and most of the positive effects depend on immunomodulatory activities, via mechanisms of gene expression, cell signaling, and membrane organization. Previous studies in animal models have shown that LC-PUFAs are essential for normal dopaminergic, glutamatergic and serotonergic neurotransmission. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the role of PUFAs as an effective adjuvant therapy for unipolar and bipolar depression. Lack of omega 3 fatty acids plays a role in the onset of anxiety and aggression. Low omega 3 fatty acids in the prefrontal cortex of people with schizophrenia reduce dopaminergic neurotransmission, contributing to negative and neurocognitive symptoms, while subsequent disinhibition in the limbic system causes positive symptoms. Some evidence suggests that LC-PUFA may delay or even prevent the progression of particular psychotic disorders in high-risk children and adolescents. Epidemiological studies have shown a positive correlation between the relatively high intake of DHA and EPA and the lower relative risk of mild cognitive impairment and dementia or their progression. The recommended daily intake of EPA and DHA varies significantly: 300-500 mg/day as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), up to 1-2 grams/day in Norway. Daily intakes of EPA and DHA up to 3 grams are generally recognized as safe. EPA and DHA at doses greater than 3 grams per day can have side effects: an increase in bleeding frequency, oxidation of n-3PUFAs with the formation of biologically active oxidation products, and more.
AB  - Omega 3 masne kiseline su polinezasićene masne kiseline dugih lanaca (LC-PUFAs). Osnovni molekul je alfa-linolenska kiselina (ALA) od koje nastaju LC-PUFA: eikosapentaenoična kiselina (EPA) i dokosaheksaenoička kiselina (DHA). DHA je dominantna masna kiselina u mozgu naročito u sinaptičkim membranama, astrocitima, mijelinu i membranama organela. LC-PUFAs dovode do povećane fluidnosti i permeabilnosti membrana, a većina pozitivnih efekata zavisi od imunomodulacionih aktivnosti, preko mehanizama ekspresije gena, ćelijske signalizacije i organizacije membrane. Dosadašnjim istrazivanjima na animalnim modelima pokazano je da su LC-PUFAs neophodne za normalnu dopaminergičku, glutamatergičku i serotonergičku neurotransmisiju. Prekliničke i kliničke studije su pokazale ulogu PUFAs kao efikasne adjuvantne terapije unipolarne i bipolarne depresije. Nedostatak omega 3 masnih kiselina ima ulogu u nastanku anksioznosti i agresivnosti. Niske omega 3 masne kiseline u prefrontalnoj kori mozga u osoba sa shizofrenijom smanjuju dopaminergičku neurotransmisiju, doprinoseći negativnim i neurokognitivnim simptomima dok posledična dezinhibicija u limbičkom sistemu izaziva pozitivne simptome. Neki dokazi ukazuju da LC-PUFA može da odloži ili čak spreči napredovanje pojedinih psihotičnih poremećaja u visoko rizične dece i adolescenata. Epidemiološke studije su pokazale pozitivnu korelaciju između relativno visokog unosa DHA i EPA i nižeg relativnog rizika od pojave blagog kognitivnog poremećaja i demencije ili njihovog napredovanja. Preporučeni dnevni unos EPA i DHA značajno varira: 300-500 mg/dan kako Svetska zdravstvena organizacija (SZO) preporučuje, pa sve do 1-2 grama/dan u Norveškoj. Dnevni unos EPA i DHA do 3 grama je generalno priznat kao siguran. EPA i DHA u dozama većim od 3 grama dnevno može da da neželjene efekte: povećanje učestalosti krvarenja, oksidaciju n-3PUFAs sa nastankom biološki aktivnih oksidacionih produkata i drugo.

Preporučeni dnevni unos EPA i DHA značajno varira: 300-500 mg/dan kako Svetska zdravstvena organizacija (SZO) preporučuje, pa sve do 1-2 grama/dan u Norveškoj. Dnevni unos EPA i DHA do 3 grama je generalno priznat kao siguran. EPA i DHA u dozama većim od 3 grama dnevno može da da neželjene efekte: povećanje učestalosti krvarenja, oksidaciju n-3PUFAs sa nastankom biološki aktivnih oksidacionih produkata i drugo.",

AB  - Background: An increasing proportion of physicians are women, yet they still face challenges with career advancement. In 2014, the European Stroke Organisation established the goal of increasing the number and participation of women within the society using a Top Down and Bottom Up approach. The ‘Women’s Initiative for Stroke in Europe’ was created the same year by a group of women active within the organisation. We aimed to assess the current status of women in European Stroke Organisation, and to explore the change in sex differences after the introduction of focused approaches to address disparities in 2014. Methods: Using organisational records, we collected data on sex differences in core activities from 2008 up to 2017 including membership, participation in conferences, courses and in the official journal of the society, and positions of seniority and leadership. We estimated sex distribution differences in each of the activities from 2014 to date. Results: In 2017, the proportion of female members was 40%, while 24% of fellows, 22% of the executive board and 19% of the editorial board in the official journal of the society were women. From 2014 to 2017, there was a significant increase in the proportion of female members (p 1⁄4 0.0002) and in women participating in the annual conference as  faculty (p 1⁄4 0.001). There was no significant change in the sex distribution among the faculty members in junior edu- cational activities (27%) or fellows.  Interpretation: In 2017, the proportion of women holding positions of seniority and leadership is still significantly lower to the proportion of women attending educational activities. Transparent data on sex distribution will assist implementing tailored programmes to achieve progress against sex-based barriers.

AB  - ObjectiveTo evaluate long-term predictors of remission in patients with medication-overuse headache (MOH) by prospective cohort study.BackgroundKnowledge regarding long-term predictors of MOH outcome is limited.MethodsTwo hundred and forty MOH patients recruited from 2000 to 2005 were included in a one-year follow-up study and then subsequently followed until 31 December 2013. The median follow-up was three years (interquartile range, three years). Predictive values of selected variables were assessed by the Cox proportional hazard regression model.ResultsAt the end of follow-up, 102 (42.5%) patients were in remission. The most important predictors of remission were lower number of headache days per month before the one-year follow-up (HR-hazard ratio?=?0.936, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.884?0.990, p?=?0.021) and efficient initial drug withdrawal (HR?=?0.136, 95% CI 0.042?0.444, p?=?0.001). Refractory MOH was observed in seven (2.9%) and MOH relapse in 131 patients (54.6%).ConclusionsOutcome at the one-year follow-up is a reliable predictor of MOH long-term remission.

AB  - Although cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is traditionally associated with aging and hypertension (HT), there are patients exhibiting sporadic SVD, free of HT. We aimed to investigate the differences in clinical and neuroradiological presentation in SVD patients in reference to the presence of HT as a risk factor (RF). Vascular RF, cognitive and functional status were evaluated in a cohort of 424 patients. Patients were classified in two groups based on the presence of HT. Severity of vascular lesions was assessed using 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging with Age-Related White Matter Changes scale total score (tARWMC) and Fazekas scale periventricular (PV) and deep subcortical (DS) scores. No difference between groups in age and sex distribution was noted. In univariate analysis, HT was associated with vascular cognitive impairment (vCI) (OR 2.30, 1.53-3.45, P < 0.0001), functional status (OR 1.47, 1.11-1.95, P = 0.007), depression (OR 2.13, 1.23-3.70, P = 0.007), tARWMC (OR 1.10, 1.05-1.16 95% CI, P < 0.0001), Fazekas PV score (OR 1.34, 1.08-1.67 95% CI, P = 0.008), Fazekas DS score (OR 1.95, 1.44-2.63 95% CI, P < 0.0001) and total number of lacunes (OR 1.10, 1.02-1.18 95% CI, P = 0.009). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that HT was an independent RF for vCI (OR 1.74, 1.09-2.76 95% CI, P = 0.020) and higher Fazekas DS score (OR 1.57, 1.11-2.22 95% CI, P = 0.011). The Kaplan-Meier curve of estimates of survival of SVD patients without vCI revealed a higher proportion of patients with HT progressing to vCI over time when compared to HT-free cases. In patients with sporadic SVD, HT is a contributing factor to worse clinical outcomes and neuroradiological presentation.

AB  - Art and creativity originate in the brain and depend on normal brain functioning. Music is a multifacet phenomenon that exists as a universal heritage across all human societies and throughout the entire human history. There are numerous brain-based mechanisms involved in the cognitive processing of music, including music listening, performing, composing, reading, writing, as well as musical aesthetics and musical emotion. Music relates to many brain functions including perception, motor action, cognition, emotion, learning and memory. Various brain regions are associated with music processing and production, including the right anterior and posterior superior temporal lobe, the right inferior frontal cortex, the right prefrontal, bilateral premotor and bilateral parietal areas, the right anterior cerebellar lobe, language areas and limbic structures. In a diseased brain, after acquired brain injury, disorders in music perception or production have been described, although considered rare. Amusia or music-specific agnosia, a defective perception of music or its components is typically associated with temporal lobe lesions, and is more likely to occur with right-sided involvement. Etiology of acquired amusia comprise many diseases and conditions leading to brain injury, including traumatic brain injury, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, neoplasma, iatrogenic and epilepsy-related conditions, infections and degenerative diseases. Additionally, there are cases of congenital amusia, attributed to abnormality in neural networks for music, associated with structural variations in the frontal and temporal lobes.
AB  - Umetnost i kreativnost potiču iz mozga i zavise od njegovog normalnog funkcionisanja. Muzika je multifacetni fenomen koji postoji kao univerzalno nasleđe u svim ljudskim društvima i kroz čitavu ljudsku istoriju.

Muzika se odnosi na mnoge funkcije mozga, uključujući percepciju, motoriku, kogniciju, emocije, učenje i pamćenje. Različiti regioni mozga su povezani sa obradom i proizvodnjom muzike, uključujući prave prednje i zadnje superiorne temporalne režnje, desno inferiorni frontalni korteks, desno prefrontalni, bilateralni premotor i bilateralni parietalni prostori, desni anteriorni cerebelarni režanj, jezičke površine, limbičke strukture. U obolelom mozgu, nakon traume mozga, opisani su poremećaji u percepciji ili produkciji muzike, iako se smatraju retkim. Amuzija ili specifična muzička agnozija, narušena percepcija muzike ili njenih komponenti obično se povezuje sa lezijama temporalnog režnja i pretežno se javlja kod oštećenja desne polovine mozga. Etiologija stečene amusije obuhvata mnoge bolesti i stanja koji dovode do lezija mozga, uključujući traumatske povrede, ishemijski ili hemoragični moždani udar, neoplazme, jatrogena stanja, epilepsije, infekcije i degenerativne bolesti. Postoje i slučajevi kongenitalne amuzije, u vezi poremećaja neuronskih mreža za muziku, povezanih sa strukturnim varijacijama u frontalnom i temporalnom režnju.

AB  - Objectives Structural changes and metabolic stress have been reported on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the cornu ammonis 1 area of the hippocampus in patients with transient global amnesia (TGA), but a consensus on pathogenesis is still lacking. The aim of our study was to perform a comprehensive ultrasound analysis of the cerebrovascular circulation in our population of patients with TGA. Methods One hundred patients with TGA and 50 age- and sex-matched control participants underwent ultrasound examinations of the cervicocranial circulation. Results The most significant risk factor for TGA was arterial hypertension (P < .01). There were no significant atherosclerotic lesions on the large arteries of the neck (mean internal carotid artery stenosis ± SD, 28.7% ± 11.7%) or on the large intracerebral arteries (good structural and hemodynamic status; P > .05). Rarely detected microembolic signals or a right-left cardiopulmonary shunt excluded an emboligenic mechanism of TGA (P > .05). The internal jugular vein valves were incompetent in 54% of patients with TGA, and this condition was associated with an increased risk of TGA (odds ratio, 4.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.91–9.04). The mean values of the breath holding index and pulsatility index, as parameters of small-vessel function, were within normal ranges and without differences between the TGA and control groups (P > .05). Conclusions Our ultrasound examination did not detect significant structural atherosclerotic changes of cervicocranial arteries, and an emboligenic mechanism was excluded. Only a significant rise of blood pressure in TGA and significant valvular insufficiency of the internal jugular vein were established. New research should clarify whether these simultaneous functional circulatory changes have relevance for metabolic stress in the cornu ammonis of the hippocampus.

AB  - "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" test (RMET) is one of the most popular and widely used measures of individual differences in Theory of Mind (ToM) capabilities. Despite demonstrating good validity in differentiating various clinical groups exhibiting ToM deficits from unimpaired controls, previous studies raised the question of the RMET's homogeneity, latent structure, and reliability. The aim of this study is to provide evidence on psychometric properties, latent structure, and validity of the newly adapted Serbian version of the RMET. In total, 260 participants (61.9% females) took part in the study. The sample consisted of both unimpaired controls (76.5%), and a clinical group of participants that are believed to demonstrate ToM deficits (23.5%), namely, persons diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (54.1% females). RMET has demonstrated fair psychometric properties (KMO=.723; alpha=.747; H1=.076; H5=.465), successfully differentiating between clinical group and control [F (1,254)=26.175, p  lt . 001, eta(2)(p) =.093], while typical gender differences in performance were found only in control group. Tests of several models based on the previous literature revealed that the affect-specific factors underlying performance on RMET demonstrate poor fit. The best fitting model obtained included reduced scale with a single-factor underlying the test's performance (TLI=.953, CFI=.958, RMSEA=.020). Based on the fit parameters we propose 18-item short-form of the Serbian version of RMET (KMO=.797; alpha=.728; H1=.129; H5=.677) for economic, reliable and valid measurement of ToM abilities.

AB  - We explored the relationship between acute ischaemic stroke (IS) early functional outcome and serum levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12, and D in a noninterventional prospective clinical study. We enrolled 50 patients with first-ever IS and performed laboratory tests and functional assessment at three time points: on admission and three and six months after stroke. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), NIHSS scale, and Barthel index (BI) scores were assessed in all participants by trained examiner blinded to laboratory data. Patients did not receive treatment that might alter laboratory data. Admission NIHSS correlated with homocysteine levels (r = 0.304, p  lt  0.05), B12 level (r = -0.410, p  lt  0.01), and vitamin D levels (r = -0.465, p  lt  0.01). Functional outcome measures (BI and mRS) did not significantly correlate with homocysteine and vitamin D3 levels at 3 and 6 months. However, a positive correlation with vitamin B12 levels was detected for BI both at 3 and 6 months and mRS at 6 months. Higher serum vitamin B12 levels were associated with better functional outcome at follow-up.

AB  - Vitamins are necessary factors in human development and normal brain function. Vitamin C is a hydrosoluble compound that humans cannot produce; therefore, we are completely dependent on food intake for vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is an important antioxidative agent and is present in high concentrations in neurons and is also crucial for collagen synthesis throughout the body. Ascorbic acid has a role in modulating many essential neurotransmitters, enables neurogenesis in adult brain and protects cells against infection. While SVCT1 enables the absorption of vitamin C in the intestine, SVCT2 is primarily located in the brain. Ascorbate deficiency is classically expressed as scurvy, which is lethal if not treated. However, subclinical deficiencies are probably much more frequent. Potential fields of vitamin C therapy are in neurodegenerative, cerebrovascular and affective diseases, cancer, brain trauma and others. For example, there is some data on its positive effects in Alzheimer's disease. Various dosing regimes are used, but ascorbate is safe, even in high doses for protracted periods. Better designed studies are needed to elucidate all of the potential therapeutic roles of vitamin C.

AB  - Vitamin D is a secosteroid hormon with pleiotrophic functions and essential for normal development and health throughout the entire life span. Vitamin D deficiency has epidemic proportions worldwide and interferes with important metabolic processes. Its prevalence is estimated in various populations of different etnicity and age from 50% up to 100% in certain groups. The main source of vitamin D for men is skin production by ultraviolet B radiation acting on 7-dehydrocholesterol. This is cholecalciferol or vitamin D3. Less than 20% is obtained from food. The active form, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D (calcitriol) is synthesized in the kidney. Synthetic capacity declines with ageing. The main function of vitamin D is calcium homeostasis important for musculosceletal health, innate immunity, arterial integrity, endocrine function, antiinflamation, and various local processes (autocrine and epicrine functions) in more than 30 tissues where receptors exist. Vitamin D is also important for cognitive function, mainly executive in the frontal lobe. Normal vitamin D levels are above 75 nmol/L. Vitamin D deficiency is mostly due to the lack of sun exposure but can also be secondary to some individual characteristics. Deficiency during intrauterine development can lead to early and late negative consequences in bone growth, immune system, and cognition. The extreme deficiency causes rikets. In adults vitamin D deficiency has been suggested as a risk factor for infectious and autoimmune diseases, carcinomas (especially of the breast and colon), multiple sclerosis, falls, osteoporosis, bone fractures, cardiovacular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type I and II, infertility, cognitive decline and dementia. Oral supplementation with serum level normalization can lead to reduction of these risks but even amelioration of some pathological states. Recomendation ranges form 400 IU of vitamin D in infants to 2000 IU in older population, but it should be guided by individual clinical circumstances.
AB  - Vitamin D je sekosteroidni hormon sa pleotropnim funkcijama i presudan za pravilan razvoj i zdravlje kroz ceo životni vek. Nedostatak vitamina D ima razmere epidemije širom sveta i ometa važne metaboličke procese. Procene u različitim populacijama različitog etničkog porekla i starosti su od 50% do 100 % u pojedinim grupama. Glavni izvor vitamina D kod ljudi je sinteza u koži pod dejstvom ultraljubičastog B zračenja na 7- dehidrocholesterol. To je vitamin D3 ili holekalciferol. Manje od 20% se dobija iz hrane. Aktivni oblik, 1,25-dihidroksi- vitamin D (kalcitriol) se sintetiše u bubrezima. Sintetički kapaciteta opada sa starenjem. Glavna funkcija vitamina D je homeostaza kalcijuma, zdravlje muskuloskeletnog sistema, urođeni imunitet, integritet arterija, endokrine funkcije, antiinflamatorno dejstvo i različiti lokalni procesi (autokrine i epikrine funkcije) u više od 30 tkiva gde postoje receptori. Vitamin D je takođe važan za kognitivne funkcije, uglavnom egzekutivne u frontalnom režnju. Normalni nivoi vitamina D su iznad 75 nmol/L. Nedostatak vitamina D je uglavnom uzrokovan nedostatkom sunčeve svetlosti, ali i nekih individualnih karakteristika bolesnika. Nedostatak tokom intrauterinog razvoja može da dovede do ranih i kasnih negativnih posledica na rast kostiju, imuni sistem i kogniciju. Ekstremni nedostatak vitamin D izaziva rahitis. Kod odraslih je nedostatak vitamina D faktor rizika za infektivne i autoimune bolest, karcinome (naročito dojke i debelog creva), multiplu sklerozu, padove, osteoporozu, prelome kostiju, kardiovakularna i cerebrovaskularna oboljenja, dijabetes melitus tip I i II, neplodnost, kognitivni pad i demencije. Oralna suplementacija sa normalizacijom nivoa vitamina u serumu može da dovede do smanjenja ovih rizika ali čak i ublažavanje nekih patoloških stanja. Preporučene doze iznose od 400 IU vitamina D kod odojčadi do 2000 IU u starijoj populaciji, ali bi trebalo da se rukovodi individualnim kliničkim okolnostima.

abstract = "Vitamin D is a secosteroid hormon with pleiotrophic functions and essential for normal development and health throughout the entire life span. Vitamin D deficiency has epidemic proportions worldwide and interferes with important metabolic processes. Its prevalence is estimated in various populations of different etnicity and age from 50% up to 100% in certain groups. The main source of vitamin D for men is skin production by ultraviolet B radiation acting on 7-dehydrocholesterol. This is cholecalciferol or vitamin D3. Less than 20% is obtained from food. The active form, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D (calcitriol) is synthesized in the kidney. Synthetic capacity declines with ageing. The main function of vitamin D is calcium homeostasis important for musculosceletal health, innate immunity, arterial integrity, endocrine function, antiinflamation, and various local processes (autocrine and epicrine functions) in more than 30 tissues where receptors exist. Vitamin D is also important for cognitive function, mainly executive in the frontal lobe. Normal vitamin D levels are above 75 nmol/L. Vitamin D deficiency is mostly due to the lack of sun exposure but can also be secondary to some individual characteristics. Deficiency during intrauterine development can lead to early and late negative consequences in bone growth, immune system, and cognition. The extreme deficiency causes rikets. In adults vitamin D deficiency has been suggested as a risk factor for infectious and autoimmune diseases, carcinomas (especially of the breast and colon), multiple sclerosis, falls, osteoporosis, bone fractures, cardiovacular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type I and II, infertility, cognitive decline and dementia. Oral supplementation with serum level normalization can lead to reduction of these risks but even amelioration of some pathological states. Recomendation ranges form 400 IU of vitamin D in infants to 2000 IU in older population, but it should be guided by individual clinical circumstances., Vitamin D je sekosteroidni hormon sa pleotropnim funkcijama i presudan za pravilan razvoj i zdravlje kroz ceo životni vek. Nedostatak vitamina D ima razmere epidemije širom sveta i ometa važne metaboličke procese. Procene u različitim populacijama različitog etničkog porekla i starosti su od 50% do 100 % u pojedinim grupama. Glavni izvor vitamina D kod ljudi je sinteza u koži pod dejstvom ultraljubičastog B zračenja na 7- dehidrocholesterol. To je vitamin D3 ili holekalciferol. Manje od 20% se dobija iz hrane. Aktivni oblik, 1,25-dihidroksi- vitamin D (kalcitriol) se sintetiše u bubrezima. Sintetički kapaciteta opada sa starenjem. Glavna funkcija vitamina D je homeostaza kalcijuma, zdravlje muskuloskeletnog sistema, urođeni imunitet, integritet arterija, endokrine funkcije, antiinflamatorno dejstvo i različiti lokalni procesi (autokrine i epikrine funkcije) u više od 30 tkiva gde postoje receptori. Vitamin D je takođe važan za kognitivne funkcije, uglavnom egzekutivne u frontalnom režnju. Normalni nivoi vitamina D su iznad 75 nmol/L. Nedostatak vitamina D je uglavnom uzrokovan nedostatkom sunčeve svetlosti, ali i nekih individualnih karakteristika bolesnika.

AB  - Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by conformational alteration of the ubiquitous prion protein. Sporadic CJD appears to progress faster if the basal ganglia are shown to be affected on magnetic resonance imaging. Transcranial B-mode sonography (TCS) enables visualization of differences in tissue echogenicity, which can be associated with changes in the cerebral metabolism of various metals. These metabolic changes are considered 1 of the potential mechanisms of the brain damage in CJD; TCS hyperechogenicity may reflect changes in metal homeostasis in CJD. We report a 63-year-old woman who presented with typical sporadic CJD. One month after she fell ill, a magnetic resonance imaging scan of her brain showed diffuse cortical but no obvious basal ganglia involvement. However, TCS revealed moderate hyperechogenicity of both lentiform nuclei. The patient's disease progressed quickly and she died 2 months later. TCS may show basal ganglia alteration early in the disease course of patients with quickly progressing CJD, thus aiding in premortem diagnosis.

AB  - Vitamin A is essential for the early development and normal functioning of the brain throughout life. A deficiency of vitamin A is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, and subclinical deficiency is probably present worldwide. The main active molecule in vitamin A is retinoic acid, which is involved in vision, the immune system, skin health, olfaction and cognition (learning, memory, spatial functions, olfaction, etc.) through processes of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. Vitamin A is involved in the regulation of about one-sixth of the human genome. It has non-genomic actions in protein translation and paracrine actions. Retinal vitamin A aldehyde is crucial for day and night vision. The best-known manifestation of hypovitaminosis A is night blindness but in more severe cases, it causes blindness. In the hypothalamus, vitamin A, with information from the retina, acts in circadian and seasonal regulation. Increased retinoic acid levels in the blood are associated with increased risk of depression, and lower levels have been connected with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cerebral ischemia, autistic spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. Higher doses and longer periods of treatment pose the threat of hypervitaminosis A. Vitamin A and its analogs are a promising new class of therapeutic agents in a wide spectrum of disorders, albeit with a narrow therapeutic window.

The left hemisphere is specialized for verbal functions, calculia and skillful learned movements (praxis). The right hemisphere is specialized for processing visual information, such as the perception of complex geometric shapes, facial recognition, observation of non-verbal sounds, performing various spatial functions, tactile perception of complex structures, musical ability, prosody, non-verbal thinking and memory. The left hemisphere is analytical, sequential, and the right is synthetic, holistic. The left hemisphere has more capacity for abstract or impersonal, while the right hemisphere is less prone to abstraction and prioritize the individual. Interhemispheric interaction is a very important function.

AB  - Dementias are a group of diseases of great economical burden. The most frequent dementias are Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementias. B vitamins are one of the most frequent causes of cognitive decline and reversible dementias are B vitamin deficiencies. There are similarities of B vitamins’ deficiency and pathological and cognitive processes of dementias. The most important B vitamins are: vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin or niacinamide), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin B9 (folic acid) and vitamin B12 (cobalamine). Vitamin B12 plays a fundamental role in DNA synthesis, optimal haemopoesis and neurological function and its deficiency leads to cognitive decline and potentially reversible dementia. Higher plasma Hcy levels and lower folate values were detected in patients with late onset AD and they potentiate Aβ neuron toxicity. Vitamin B6 inhibits oxidative stress caused by Alzheimer’s disease-related Cu (Il)-β-amyloid complexes. Impairment of thiamine-dependent metabolic processes correlates with cognitive decline and in animal models, thiamine deficiency leads to plaque formation, phosphorylation of tau and memory decline. Serum total Hcy (tHcy) is a risk factor for small vessel disease and cognitive impairment and correlates with plasma Aβ levels. High Hcy levels are normalized with supplements containing vitamin B12, B6 and folic acid. Treatment with B vitamin supplements shows some promising findings but further research, both preclinical and clinical is needed to find the optimal way of using these compounds in dementia prevention and treatment.
AB  - Demencija su grupa bolesti od većeg ekonomskog tereta. Najčešće demencije su Alchajmerova bolest, demencija vaskularna, demencija i Levi telo frontotemporal demencije. B vitamini su jedan od najčešćih uzroka kognitivnog opadanja i reverzibilne su demencija B avitaminoze. Postoje sličnosti nedostatka vitamina B ‘i patoloških i kognitivne procese demencija. Najznačajniji B vitamini su: vitamin B1 (tiamin), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin ili niacinamid), vitamina B5 (pantotenska kiselina), vitamin B6 (piridoksin, piridoksal), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamina B9 (folna kiselina) i vitamin B12 (cobal­amine).

abstract = "Dementias are a group of diseases of great economical burden. The most frequent dementias are Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementias. B vitamins are one of the most frequent causes of cognitive decline and reversible dementias are B vitamin deficiencies. There are similarities of B vitamins’ deficiency and pathological and cognitive processes of dementias. The most important B vitamins are: vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin or niacinamide), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin B9 (folic acid) and vitamin B12 (cobalamine). Vitamin B12 plays a fundamental role in DNA synthesis, optimal haemopoesis and neurological function and its deficiency leads to cognitive decline and potentially reversible dementia. Higher plasma Hcy levels and lower folate values were detected in patients with late onset AD and they potentiate Aβ neuron toxicity. Vitamin B6 inhibits oxidative stress caused by Alzheimer’s disease-related Cu (Il)-β-amyloid complexes. Impairment of thiamine-dependent metabolic processes correlates with cognitive decline and in animal models, thiamine deficiency leads to plaque formation, phosphorylation of tau and memory decline. Serum total Hcy (tHcy) is a risk factor for small vessel disease and cognitive impairment and correlates with plasma Aβ levels. High Hcy levels are normalized with supplements containing vitamin B12, B6 and folic acid. Treatment with B vitamin supplements shows some promising findings but further research, both preclinical and clinical is needed to find the optimal way of using these compounds in dementia prevention and treatment., Demencija su grupa bolesti od većeg ekonomskog tereta. Najčešće demencije su Alchajmerova bolest, demencija vaskularna, demencija i Levi telo frontotemporal demencije. B vitamini su jedan od najčešćih uzroka kognitivnog opadanja i reverzibilne su demencija B avitaminoze. Postoje sličnosti nedostatka vitamina B ‘i patoloških i kognitivne procese demencija. Najznačajniji B vitamini su: vitamin B1 (tiamin), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin ili niacinamid), vitamina B5 (pantotenska kiselina), vitamin B6 (piridoksin, piridoksal), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamina B9 (folna kiselina) i vitamin B12 (cobal­amine). Vitamina B12 ima ključnu ulogu u sintezi DNK, optimalnog haemopoesis i neurološke funkcije i njen nedostatak dovodi do kognitivnog opadanja i potencijalno reverzibilne demencije.

AB  - Vitamin A is a liposoluble vitamin essential for brain function and vision, and is obtained only through food as retinol or as carotenoids. The active metabolite is retinoic acid (RA), which participates in cognitive processes in the hippocampus, particularly in learning and spatial functions as well as in neurogenesis. Retinoic acid is essential for the vision and the maintenance of the cornea, biological rhythms, mucosa defense against infections and regulation of many genes (one sixth of the human genome). In animal models, vitamin A deficiency shows changes that resemble neurodegeneration, and RA levels in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease are reduced. There is also a complex relationship between RA and affective disorders, schizophrenia, autism, Parkinson's disease and stroke. In developing countries hypovitaminosis A is one of the leading causes of death and blindness in children, while in developed countries the symptoms are less noticeable. The damage of the cornea and night blindness are the consequences of hypovitaminosis, and there is a possible association of RA and glaucoma, macular degeneration and other eye diseases. A variety of infections can occur and can be deadly. The most efficient use of vitamin A is in the prophylactic purposes in the population at risk, especially pregnant women and infants in developing countries, while the results in the treatment of neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases are controversial. Excessive doses of vitamin A can lead to hypervitaminosis with bone, gastrointestinal, psychiatric and neurological manifestations. New studies should demonstrate the most appropriate place of vitamin A in the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases.
AB  - Vitamin A je liposolubilni vitamin neophodan za rad mozga i za vid, a unosi se isključivo putem hrane kao retinol ili u vidu karotenoida. Aktivni metabolit je retinočka kiselina (RA) koja učestvuje u kognitivnim procesima u hipokampusu, naročito u učenju i specijalnim funkcijama i neurogenezi u hipotalamusu. Retiočna kiselina je neophodna za vid, održavanje kornee, za biološke ritmove, odbranu sluznica od infekcija i regulaciju mnogih gena (šestina humanog genoma). U animalnim modelima nedostatak vitamina A daje promene koje liče na neurodegeneraciju, a nivo retinoičke kiseline u plazmi i cerebrospinalnoj tečnosti obolelih od Alchajmerove bolesti je snižen. Takođe postoji složena veza RA i afektivnih poremećaja, shizofrenije, autizma, Parkinsonove bolesti i moždanog udara. U nerazvijenim zemljama je hipovitaminoza A jedan od vodećih uzroka smrtnosti i slepila kod dece, dok su u razvijenijim zemljama simptomi manje uočljivi. Nastaje oštećenje kornee, noćno slepilo, a moguć je udeo RA i u glaukomu, makularnoj degeneraciji kao i drugim očnim bolestima. Nastupaju razne infekcije koje mogu biti i smrtonosne. Najefikasnija primena vitamina A je u profilaktičke svrhe kod stanovništva u riziku, posebno trudnica i odojčadi u nerazvijenim zemljama, dok su rezultati u lečenju neurodegenerativnih i psihijatrijskih bolesti kontroverzni. Preterane doze vitamina A mogu da dovedu do hipervitaminoze sa koštanim, gastrointestinalnim, psihijatrijskim i neurološkim ispoljavanjima. Nove studije treba da pokažu najadekvatnije mesto vitamina A u terapiji neuropsihijatrijskih bolesti.

AB  - Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most frequent dementia after Alzheimer's disease, and is diagnosed during lifetime in 20% of demented patients. Five­year survival rate in VaD is 39%, while it is estimated to be 75% in healthy persons of the same age. It is therefore important to make correct diagnosis of VaD early in the course of the disease. Risk factors for VaD are identical to stroke risk factors, and there are significant possibilities for the prevention of vascular cognitive decline. Cognitive decline develops acutely or step­by­step within three months after stroke, but more gradual progression of intellectual decline is also possible. Neurological examination can reveal pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs, pseudobulbar palsy, gait disturbance and urinary incontinence. Neuropsychological profile comprises the loss of cognitive set shifting, decline in word fluency, verbal learning difficulties, perseverations, difficulties in complex figure copying, and in patients with cortically located lesions also problems with speech and praxia. The basis of the diagnosis is, besides history, neurological examination and neuropsychological assessment, computed tomography and/ or magnetic resonance brain imaging. Vascular risk factors control is the most important measure in VaD prevention. Modern guidelines for the treatment of cognitive decline in VaD emphasize that donepezil can be useful in the improvement of cognitive status at the level of Class IIa recommendation at the level of evidence A, while memantine may be useful in patients with mixed VaD and Alzheimer's disease dementia.
AB  - Vaskularna demencija (VaD) je posle Alchajmerove bolesti druga po učestalosti demencija, koja se zaživotno dijagnostikuje kod oko 20% svih dementnih bolesnika. Petogodišnje preživljavanje obolelih od VaD je 39%, u odnosu na 75% zdravih osoba istog životnog doba. Zbog toga je veoma važno pravovremeno i tačno postaviti dijagnozu VaD. Faktori rizika za nastanak VaD su istovetni onima za moždani udar, te postoje značajne mogućnosti za prevenciju vaskularnog kognitivnog pada. Kognitivni pad se ispoljava naglo ili postepeno tokom tri meseca od moždanog udara, ali je moguće i tzv. šunjajuće napredovanje intelektualnog propadanja. U neurološkom nalazu se mogu naći piramidalni i ekstrapiramidalni znaci, pseudobulbarna paraliza, poremećaji hodanja i inkontinencija urina. Neuropsihološki profil obuhvata teškoće promene kognitivnog seta, pogoršanje fonemske fluentnosti, oštećenje verbalnog učenja, perseverativnost, teškoće kopiranja složenog crteža, a kod kortikalno lociranih lezija i smetnje govora i praksije. Osnova dijagnoze je, pored anamneze, neurološkog pregleda i neuropsihološkog ispitivanja, nalaz na snimcima mozga skenerom i/ili magnetnom rezonancijom. Kontrola vaskularnih faktora rizika je najznačajnija mera u prevenciji VaD. Savremene preporuke za lečenje bolesnika sa VaD ističu da donepezil može biti koristan za poboljšanje kognitivnog stanja bolesnika sa VaD na nivou klase IIa preporuka, nivoa dokaza A, dok memantin može biti koristan kod bolesnika s mešovitom VaD, s elementima Alchajmerove bolesti.

Studies with ω-3 supplementation have led to controversial results. A significantly longer remission of bipolar symptomatology has been confirmed from a high-dose DHA and EPA mixture. Greater seafood consumption per capita has been connected with a lower prevalence of bipolar spectrum disorders. Reduced levels of ω-6 and ω-3 PUFAs were found in patients with schizophrenia.

AB  - Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most prevalent dementia, is characterized not only by cognitive but also behavior- al changes that pose the heaviest burden to caregivers. Differences in the clinical picture depending on the time of disease onset have been observed. We correlated cognitive and behavioral deficits in patients with presenile- and senile-onset AD to explore the differences. We tested 60 AD patients, 19 male and 41 female, mean age 65.2 years with the Dementia Behavior Disturbance Scale (DBD) and a standard neuropsychological battery. The patients were divided according to their DBD score into two groups: group I - score 0-2 (n=24; 40%), group II - score 3≥ (n=36; 60%), comparable in disease duration and neurological findings. The cognitive scores were significantly higher in the group with less behavioral changes than in the group with more behavioral changes: Mini Mental State Examination score (p=0.0015), serial subtraction (p=0.0009), block design (p=0.0049), copy of complex figure (p=0.0125), complex visual organization (p=0.0099), divided attention, visual memory and speech comprehension. A significantly higher frequency of behavioral disturbances was registered in patients with senile onset than in the presenile-onset group (p lt 0.005). There were no sex differences. Our data show a correlation between cognitive decline and behavioral changes in late onset AD patients, indicating that more behavioral disturbances were associated with a more severe degree of cognitive decline, especially in non-verbal functions and attention deficits, compared to early onset patients.

AB  - Visual perception is dependent on occipital cortex and dorsal and ventral visual pathway. Visual cortex processes elementary details of visual environment, and further analysis and synthesis is done in parietal region for place, and temporal cortex for object recognition. Visual attention selects which information is relevant and which is irrelevant and so allows a goal directed behavior. Visual system also mediates perception of color, spatial relations, depth perception, movement etc. Agnosia is a rare neuropsychological disorder, is an inability to recognize stimuli in one sense modality and can be divided to aperceptivе agnosia and associative agnosia. Simultanagnosia is the inability to perceive a whole, although the recognition of individual parts is preserved and has ventral, dorsal and frontal type. The most common cause of visual hallucinations is loss of vision but can occur in various lesions of visual system. Cortical blindness is vision loss due to damage to the visual cortex in both occipital lobes. Unilateral spatial neglect phenomenon or unilateral spatial neglect is a disorder of attention control in the contralateral half of the space in relation to the brain lesion.

AB  - Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a group of disorders whose characteristics are excessive and disorganized activity and impersistence, starting in early childhood, usually up to 5-years of age. Hyperactive disorder affects approximately 5-10% of children all around the world, 4 times more oft en in boys than in girls, and in some individuals persist into adulthood. It is characterized by a lack of persistence in activities that require cognitive involvement, and tendency to go from one activity to another without finishing last with disorganized and poorly regulated excessive activity. Oft en there are associated disorders. Conduct disorders can isolate these children from other children. Common disorders of cognitive functions are specific delay in motor and language development. Secondary they show dissocial behavior and low self-esteem. Disturbed regulation of noradrenergic system in ADHD leads to inefficient functioning of the posterior cortex of attention, and dopaminergic dysregulation leads to the frontal executive function disorder. With neuropsychological perspective, ADHD consists of impulsiveness, planning problems, inattention, hyperactivity, problems of modulating gratification and emotional regulation. In the acting on dopaminergic and noradrenergic system: methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, pimolin, and recently atomoxetin, clonidine, guanfacine, and sometimes antidepressants and antipsychotics treatment of ADHD is used combined therapy including medication, behavior modification techniques, and environment modification. Pharmacotherapy consists of applied psychostimulants.
AB  - Hiperkinetki poremećaji (engl. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD) su grupa poremećaja čije su karakteristike: preterana i dezorganizovana aktivnost i neistrajnost, a počinju u ranom detinjstvu, obično do pete godine života. Hiperaktivni poremećaj zahvata oko 5-10% dece u svim zemljama sveta, četiri puta češće kod dečaka nego kod devojčica, a kod izvesnog broja osoba perzistira i u zrelom dobu. Karakteriše se odsustvom upornosti u aktivnostima koje zahtevaju kognitivnu angažovanost i sklonost da se ide iz jedne u drugu aktivnost bez završavanja prethodne, zajedno sa dezorganizovanom i slabo regulisanom preteranom aktivnošću. Često postoje i udruženi poremećaji. Poremećaji ponašanja mogu da ih izoluju od druge dece. Uobičajeni su poremećaji kognitivnih funkcija sa specifičnim kašnjenjem razvoja motorike i govora. Sekundarno se javlja nisko samopouzdanje i disocijalno ponašanje. Poremećaj regulacije noradrenergičkog sistema u ADHD dovodi do neefikasnog funkcionisanja sistema pažnje posteriorne kore, dok dopaminergička disregulacija dovodi do poremećaja funkcije prednjeg egzekutivnog sistema. Sa neuropsihološkog aspekta, ADHD se sastoji od impulsivnosti, problema planiranja, nepažnje, hiperaktivnosti, problema modulacije gratifikacije i emocionalne regulacije. U terapiji ADHD se primenjuje kombinovana terapija koja obuhvata lekove, bihevioralne tehnike i modifikaciju okoline. U farmakoterapiji se primenjuju psihostimulansi koji deluju na dopaminergički i noradrenergički sistem: metilfenidat, dekstroamfetamin, pimolin, a u novije vreme i atomoksetin, klonidin, guanfacin, nekad i antipsihotici i antidepresivi.

AB  - Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are essential fatty acids necessary for normal cell membrane function, that are defficient in contemporary diet. They have anti-inflammatory properties and are involved in gene expression, cellular signaling and membrane organization. Omega-3 LC-PUFAs are involved in stimulaton of blood circulation, increase in the breakdown of fibrin, and also may reduce blood pressure, and given in food can significant decrease the thickness of the carotid arteries. Supplements with omega-3 fatty acids can help control seizures in pharmacoresistent epilepsy. Higher intake of omega-3 PUFAs can lower relative risk of dementia incidence or progression and improve memory in healty elderly volunteers. Higher fish intake was found to lower risk for multiple sclerosis and arrest its progression. Favourable effects are also found in Huntington’s disease and headache.
AB  - Omega-3 polinezasićene masne kiseline dugih lanaca (LC-PUFAs) su esencijalne masne kiseline neophodne za normalno funkcionisanje ćelijske membrane, i koje su u savremenoj ishrani deficijentne.

abstract = "Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are essential fatty acids necessary for normal cell membrane function, that are defficient in contemporary diet. They have anti-inflammatory properties and are involved in gene expression, cellular signaling and membrane organization. Omega-3 LC-PUFAs are involved in stimulaton of blood circulation, increase in the breakdown of fibrin, and also may reduce blood pressure, and given in food can significant decrease the thickness of the carotid arteries. Supplements with omega-3 fatty acids can help control seizures in pharmacoresistent epilepsy. Higher intake of omega-3 PUFAs can lower relative risk of dementia incidence or progression and improve memory in healty elderly volunteers. Higher fish intake was found to lower risk for multiple sclerosis and arrest its progression. Favourable effects are also found in Huntington’s disease and headache., Omega-3 polinezasićene masne kiseline dugih lanaca (LC-PUFAs) su esencijalne masne kiseline neophodne za normalno funkcionisanje ćelijske membrane, i koje su u savremenoj ishrani deficijentne. Ove masne kiseline imaju anti-inflamatorna svojstva i uključene su u genske ekspresije, celularnu signalizaciju i organizaciju membrane. Omega-3 LC-PUFAs su uključene u stimulaciju cirkulacije, povećanje razgradnje fibrin, a takođe mogu da smanje krvni pritisak i date u hrani mogu da značajno smanje debljinu zida karotidnih arterija.

AB  - Mixed dementia (MD) is co-existance of both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vacular dementia (VD) in the same patient. With aging of popularion, this diagnostic cathegory will continue to be problem in clinical practice. Neuropathological studies indicate that MD represents a very common pathology, especially in the elderly. The differentiation between AD and VD is complex since their clinical presentations may overlap and diagnostic criteria do not provide adequate differentiation. There are also overlapping pathological processes in AD and VD, and both conditions share vascular risk factors. Treatment of MD patients is challenging, and there is a potential for use of cholinestherase inhibitors, risk factor management and also for use of other medications. MD remains challenging clinical diagnosis.
AB  - Mešovita demencija (MD) je zajedničko postojanje Alchajmerove bolesti (AB) i vaskulne demencije (VaD) kod istog bolesnika. Sa starenjem populacije, ovaj dijagnostički entitet će se sve više postavljati kao problem u praksi. Neuropatološke studije ukazuju da je MD veoma čest patološki nalaz, posebno kod starijih. Razlikovanje AB i VaD je složeno budući da njihove kliničke prezentacije mogu da se preklapaju, a da dijagnostički kriterijumi ne omogućavaju afekvatnu diferencijaciju. Patološki procesi u AB i VaD se takodje preklapaju i obe bolesti dele vaskulne faktore rizika. Poseban izazov je problem lečenja bolesnika sa MD, gde svoje mesto imaju inhibitori holinesteraze, tretiranje faktora rizika, a moguće je i neki drugi lekovi. Postavljanje dijagnoze MD i dalje je izazov za lekara praktičara.
