Objective: The goal of the study was to evaluate differences in heart rate variability (HRV) among post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients, depending on their participation Croatian war and established diagnoses post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods: included 34 male veterans with diagnosed PTSD who had suffered a first MI age-matched post-MI patients without PTSD. Cardiac autonomic balance evaluated through HRV analysis. Results: There were no mean R-R interval or overall between...
Abstract Background Heterophile antibodies are one of the most common causes false-positive troponin. Case summary We report a case 53-year-old woman with troponin elevation and clinical presentation understood treated as non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome. Because chronic basal (at ‘plateau’ level) chest pain, patient underwent several invasive angiograms until increase due to heterophile was suspected. Borderline stenosis left circumflex artery found on first angiogram coincidental...
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a constituent of many types lipoproteins that play role in metabolism cholesterol and lipids the body as well brain. ApoE synthesised astrocytes microglia enter to neurons through LDL, LRP VLDL receptors. Recently it was shown also produced neurons. has modulating learning memory, structural plasticity, mobilization repair, growth maintenance myelin neuronal membranes during development aging, cell death after ischemic, convulsive, or other type brain injury. The...
The main goal of our research was to perform an epidemiological study migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) among high school students in the Republic Croatia.The authors surveyed 1,876 attending schools Croatia using a self-administered 36-item questionnaire.Among who completed questionnaire, prevalence 12.8% (17% women 8.1% men) TTH 38.3% (40.6% 35.7% men). Prevalence with 2.9% (3.1% 2.7% found significantly greater female than male (OR = 2.3), as 1.23). Compared TTH, sufferers were...
The BNT162b2 (Pfizer BioNTech) mRNA vaccine is an effective against COVID-19 infection. Here, we report adverse event following immunization (AEFI) in a 48-year-old female patient who presented with fasciculations, migraine auras without headaches and increased discomfort of previously present palpitations, as well excitation insomnia. Her fasciculations were intermittently until the time this paper was written, starting from 6th day post-vaccination; they changed localization frequency, but...
Translation of the Headache-Attributed Restriction, Disability, Social Handicap and Impaired Participation (HARDSHIP) questionnaire into Croatian language, its diagnostic validation Despite increasing awareness promoted by Global Campaign against Headache (1,2) Burden Disease (GBD) study (3-5), knowledge understanding burdens attributable to headache disorders remain incomplete in many countries.
In a patient with deficit of ocular movement that goes beyond any anatomically specific pattern one must always bear in mind the role thalamic nuclei motor function. We present three case reports depicting manifestations infarction vascular territories arteries supply thalamus. The first presented complete, ipsiversive tilt reaction and second Parinaud’s syndrome as result paramedian extending into rostral midbrain. third left eye ptosis Korsakoff-like amnestic due to anteromedian...
Cluster headache is a pain syndrome characterised by severe, unilateral and predominantly orbital which lasts 15 - 180 minutes. It accompanied range of ipsilateral autonomic symptoms, such as lacrimation, rhinorrhoea myosis. headaches can be episodic with periods remission or chronic. Even though it relatively rare condition, the excruciating causes significant disruption patients’ daily life. The pathophysiology behind cluster complex despite making progress, pathogenetic cascade events...
Cilj ovog rada bio je usporediti raznolikost prehrane eksperimentalne (ispitanici koji boluju od migrene, n=104) i kontrolne skupine (zdravi ispitanici, n=210) pomoću upitnika o kvaliteti (eng. Diet Quality Questionnaire - DQQ) koristeći bodovanje raznolikosti Diversity Score DDS) ostale indikatore kvalitete prehrane. DQQ upitnik razvijen 2021. godine, a predstavlja jednostavni standardizirani alat za procjenu na populacijskoj razini (https://www.dietquality.org/countries/hrv). Dodatno, cilj...
