In this paper the author presents the frequency of death caused by Spanish influenza from 1918-1919 in 15 villages of Sajkaska according to sex and age. He established that it included all Sajkaska and that it killed numerous persons of all age groups. The greatest mortality from Spanish influenza was in Nadalj in which the total number of deceased was 60, and the number of those who died from Spanish influenza was 31 or 51.67%.

In this study the authors discuss anatomical and functional asymmetries at the man, i.e. in human kind. They stress that asymmetries exist at the cell level as well, then at the chromosomic one, as well as on all other cells of human organism (cells of blood, liver, lungs, muscles, central nervous system, etc.) They point out to the asymmetries off the central nervous system, autonomous nervous system, as well as to certain organs and organic systems and body parts (head, face, extremities, trunk, etc.) A special attention is devoted to the functional asymmetries at which the emphasis is given to motoric, sensorial and psychic asymmetries.

An analysis of frequency and range of hereditary and congenital defects was performed in all infants born in the period from January 1 to December 31, 1986 in the Ward for Neonates at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Panĉevo and in the out-patient maternity home in Indija and Kovin. In Panĉevo 2.559 (1.286 m. and 1.273 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. there were 2.314 (1.178 m. and 1.136 f.) mature children and 245 (108 m. and 187 f.) premature children. In Indija 367 (180 m. and 187 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. there were 355 (174 m. and 181 f.) mature children and 12 (6 m. and 6 f.) premature children. In Kovin 146 (65 m. and 81 f.) newborn infants were born, i.e. 150 (82 m. and 68 f.) mature and 10 (1 m. and 9 f.) premature children. A total 3.072 (1.531 m. and 1.541 f.) newborn infants in all three places were born. In all three places there was a total of 2.805 (1.417 m. and 1.387 f.) mature and 267 (115 m. and 152 f.) premature children. In Panĉevo 68 children were born with defects (40 m. and 28 f.), i.e. 2.66% (3.11% m. and 2.20% f.). In Indija only one defect was noted in one female child (0.53% related to female newborns).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The frequency of hair whorl in the parietal area was examined in the sample of 865 schoolchildren. The simple hair whorl was more frequent in boys (62.13%) than in girls (21.41%). The double hair whorl was found only in 0.69% of the cases. The parietal hair whorl was not noticed in 58.49% of the examined children. The percentage was considerably higher in girls than in boys accounting for 77.92% and 37.13%, respectively.
