AB  - Previous phytopathological studies of the fungal pathogen Nectria cinnabarina have been focused on its distribution and host diversity but little is known about the spread of this pathogen and the defence responses of forest trees to an infection inside host tissues. Histopathological alterations of bark, periderm, phloem and woody tissues were investigated in sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) branches following their natural attack by the advanced anamorph and teleomorph developmental stages of the fungus. Light, fluorescence, confocal laser scanning and scanning electron microscopy techniques supplemented by X-ray micro-computed tomography imaging were used to distinguish between healthy and disintegrated plant tissues. The intercellular spread of fungal hyphae was found primarily in the phelloderm. Expanding hyphae aggregations produced ruptures in the phellem and the disintegration of both phellogen and phellodermal parenchyma cells in close proximity to the expanding fruiting bodies of the fungus. Thicker hyphae of the teleomorph fungal stage heavily disintegrated the phelloderm tissues and also induced enhanced sclerification of the nearby phloem tissues that limited the spread of the infection into the sieve tubes. Both the intercellular and intracellular spread of hyphae inside the peripheral parts of sclereid clusters led to the disintegration of the compound middle lamellae but the hyphae were only rarely able to pass through these structural phloem barriers. The massive fungal colonization of both lumens and disintegrated tangential cell walls of ray parenchyma cells resulted in severe cambial necroses. Although the hyphae penetrated into the outermost annual growth rings of the xylem, no cell wall disintegration of the parenchyma cells, vessels and fibres was revealed. Despite the local cambial necroses and severe phloem ray disintegration, the bark remained attached to the examined branches and no bark cankers were formed.

AB  - This study aimed to measure attitudes and perceived preparedness of physicians in Serbia to deal with intimate partner violence against women and to test and culturally validate scales that were used for these measurements. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 435 physicians from 23 primary healthcare centers in Serbia. Physicians' attitudes toward IPV were better than perceived preparedness (mean score 52.03 out of 100, SD 10.78 vs. 46.92 out of 100, SD 21.71). Three components of attitudes were identified, explaining 50.34 % of variance. Both attitudes and preparedness scales proved to have good reliability (alpha = 0.66 and alpha = 0.94). Previous education moderately predicted preparedness, however it was inconsistently associated with attitudes.

AB  - Objective. This study aimed to identify whom women in Serbia approach for help in case of intimate partner violence (IPV), their reasons for seeking help and their satisfaction with the received help. Methods. A cross-sectional, population-based household survey of a random sample of women aged 15-49 years was conducted in Belgrade (WHO Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence against Women). A standard questionnaire was administered by trained interviewers through face-to-face interviews. Results. The questionnaire was completed by 1456 women and 1196 of them ever had an intimate partner. Almost one in four ever-partnered women reported experiencing either physical and/or sexual violence, at least once in their life. Among these abused women, similar to 22% had ever sought help from formal institutions. Police and health services were most commonly approached (12% and 10% of abused women, respectively). Satisfaction with services was highest for health services and legal advice and lowest for police and social services. Women sought help especially when violence had a severe impact on them or when they saw that their children suffered. Women who did not seek help stated that they believed that the violence was bearable or had ended. Other reasons for not seeking help were fear of undesirable consequences of seeking help and lack of trust in institutions. Conclusions. From the abused women's perspective, health care services are the institutions with the highest potential to help women in cases of IPV. Developing a comprehensive health sector response is of critical importance to ensure appropriate care and referral.

AB  - Aims: The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of demographic and socioeconomic factors on morbidity in Serbia. Additionally, knowing that there is no a gold standard for measuring morbidity we were concerned whether the results of this study depend on the choice of morbidity indicator. Methods: Data from the 2006 National Health Survey for Serbia were used. A representative sample of 14,522 persons aged  gt = 20 years were interviewed. The associations between demographic factors (age, gender, marital status, and type of settlement), socioeconomic indicators (education and wealth index), and health status (morbidity index derived from self-reported data) were examined using linear and logistic regression analyses. Results: Women, elderly people, those who live in urban settings, and those with lower education had higher morbidity regardless of using a morbidity index as a continuous variable (composite index ranging from 0 to 20) or a categorical variable (morbidity status tertiles). Respondents who belong to the most deprived group had higher scores of morbidity index in comparison with the respondents from the most affluent group, but no significant association was found when morbidity status was examined as the outcome. In addition, when those who belong to the middle class group were compared to the most affluent group, they had good more frequently than average morbidity status. Conclusions: This study suggests that demographic and socioeconomic inequalities in morbidity exist in Serbia. Wise and comprehensive health policies and interventions for reducing these inequalities are urgently needed which primarily focus on the most disadvantaged socioeconomic groups.
