REPORT ISSUED ON INDICTED GENERAL'S CONDITION

ZAGREB, Oct 17 (Hina) - Mijo Bergovec and Velimir Bozikov, who are on a doctors' team monitoring the condition of Janko Bobetko, on Wednesday evening delivered to Hina a report on the condition of the 83-year-old general, who has been indicted by the UN war crimes tribunal at The Hague, as well as all past diagnoses. #L# The diagnoses note, among else, two coronaries, in 1994 and 2002. Bobetko has a heart electrostimulator, which was replaced this year. He also suffers from arteriosclerosis. The report notes leaking through the valve between the left and right atria and the left and right ventricles, permanent irregularity of the heart rhythm, as well as a left ventricle thrombus. Due to a high level of heart decompensation, more than half Bobetko's right lung chronically fills with fluid. The general also suffers from chronic kidney failure. Recent tests have established thyroid failure as well. There is peroneal damage to a left leg nerve, as well as uric acid in the blood. For several years, the general has also been suffering from type two diabetes. Dr Bergovec told reporters last night that the general was not feeling well and was virtually bed-ridden. "He should be hospitalised, but for the moment he doesn't want to and will stay home until further notice," he said, adding that Bobetko had been provided with medical care, including the necessary machines that could be compared to semi-intensive hospital care. The report on Bobetko's condition has been compiled including past medical documentation, as well as the findings of clinical, laboratory, radiological and echosonographic tests done at Zagreb's Dubrava hospital on Oct. 8. The tests were done by Croatian experts of international renown: Bergovec, Bozikov, Boris Brkljacic, Josip Vincelj, and Milan Kujundzic. (hina) ha sb
