Abstract Introduction Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) correlates with changes in geometry related to the size and shape of left ventricle (LV). On echocardiography it presents as global reduced systolic function (ejection fraction - EF). Abnormal remodeling leads a more spherical manifestation spherity index (SI) parameter abnormal geometric change (SI is ratio short (S) long (L) axis heart measured from apical four-chamber view). In healthy individuals ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy SI...
Abstract Background Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a potentially disabling and often irreversible consequence of breast cancer treatment, caused by the mechanical incompetence lymphatic system, resulting in reduced drainage capacity functional overload due to an excessive volume interstitial fluid surpassing system’s transport arm. We wanted determine impact explore differences independent risk factors for occurrence BCRL; incidence BCRL over five-year period at Institute...
During the past 10 years, health of people in Eastern Europe and former Soviet Union has undergone changes very different from patterns seen their Western counterparts. Mortality cardiovascular disease been decreasing continuously USA many European countries, but it increased or remained unchanged states Europe. Analysis this phenomenon hindered by insufficient information. The International Registry Acute Coronary Syndromes registry study Transitional Countries (ISACS-TC) is both a...
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on mental health, particularly among students, due to COVID-19-related fear and also the transition from traditional online lectures. In this questionnaire-based study, Stress Scales (CSS), Fear of Scale (FCV-19S), Online Teaching Satisfaction were used assess fear, stress, overall satisfaction with teaching during nursing students in Serbia. A total 167 participated whose mean age was 21.3 ± 5.3, majority whom female first-year students....
Background and Objectives. Distinct pressure curve differences exist between akinetic (A-LVA) dyskinetic (D-LVA) aneurysms. In D-LVA, left ventricular (LV) ejection decreases relative to the aneurysm size, whereas A-LVA does not impact curves, indicating that decrease in stroke volume (SV) cardiac output is proportional size of dyskinesia. This study aimed assess frequency determine parameters (volume surface area), evaluate predictive using echocardiography D-LVA. Furthermore, it compare...
Cervical cancer is a significant global health concern affecting young women, with over 500,000 new cases reported annually. This questionnaire-based study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of cervical prevention among female students at University Novi Sad during COVID-19 pandemic using Cancer Knowledge Prevention-64 (CCKP-64) tool. The sample consisted 402 predominantly 20-22-year-old from either social or technical science faculties in urban environments. Results revealed that out involved...
Chest pain represents a prevalent complaint in emergency departments (EDs), where the precise differentiation between acute coronary syndrome and alternative conditions assumes paramount significance. This pilot study aimed to assess HEART score's implementation West Balkan EDs. A retrospective analysis was performed on prospective cohort comprising patients presenting with chest admitted EDs Sarajevo, Zenica, Belgrade July December 2022. total of 303 were included, 128 classified as...
Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a disorder in endomyocardial morphogenesis, seen either isolated (in the absence of other cardiac anomalies) or association with congenital heart disease and some neuromuscular diseases. Intrauterine arrest compaction myocardial fibers postulated to be reason LVNC. Recognition this condition extremely important due its high mortality morbidity that lead progressive failure, arrhythmias thromboembolic events. The aim study was determine prevalence...
It is essential that context-appropriate health research and interventions take place in countries with economy transition. The aims of this study were to describe the clinical characteristics, management, in-hospital outcomes acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients heart failure (HF) Montenegro Serbia. data are a framework International Survey Acute Coronary Syndromes Transitional Countries (ISACS-TC; NCT01218776), multi-national multicentre registry hospitalized ACS European emerged from...
Because there are so few data on the long-term effects left ventricular systolic function and functional status in patients who electively undergo Bentall procedures, we established a retrospective study group of 90 consecutive patients. This consisted 71 male 19 female (mean age, 54 ± 10 yr) had undergone procedure to correct aortic valve disease aneurysm ascending aorta, from 1997 through 2003 single tertiary-care center. We monitored these for mean period 117 41 months death, ejection...
. In emergency departments, chest pain is a common concern, highlighting the critical importance of distinguishing between acute coronary syndrome and other potential causes. Our research aimed to introduce implement HEAR score, specifically, in remote outposts Bosnia Herzegovina.
Background and Objectives: The saphenous vein graft (SVG) remains the most frequently used conduit worldwide, despite its common disadvantage of early failure. To solve problem reduce SVG damage, Souza implemented a new technique where is harvested with surrounding fascia fat tissue (the so-called no-touch technique). Materials Methods. A prospective study conducted from February 2019 to June 2024 included 23 patients who underwent myocardial revascularization using vein, follow-up control...
Background and Objectives: Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is associated with a decline in cardiac function, evidenced by lower ejection fraction (EF), due to the reduction proportion of functional myocardium. The left end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), (LVAV), LVAV/LVEDV ratio show strong correlation EF. aim this study was determine LVA characteristics post-myocardial infarction (basal vs. apical) evaluate impact diastole (LVAVd), area (LVAAd), their respective ratios LVEDV (LVEDA) on EF, order...
Background and Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness 18F-FDG–PET–CT in preoperative staging cervical cancer, focusing on determining surgical operability exploring correlation between its quantitative parameters clinicopathological characteristics. Materials Methods: This retrospective included 62 cancer patients treated at Department Gynecology, Clinic for Operative Oncology Institute Vojvodina January 2016 2020, where clinical examinations were...
: This study primarily aims to evaluate the preoperative staging effectiveness of PET-CT in early-stage cervical cancer, particularly, its ability detect primary tumors and micrometastases.
When intracardiac or extracardiac shunts, chronic heart lung disease, arterial disease of the pulmonary artery (PA) an extensive atheromatosis arteriosclerosis are excluded, idiopathic aneurysm (PAA) is taken into consideration. Sporadic individual cases PAA [1–3] can be found in literature [1–3]. Natural course (which reach enormous dimensions) corresponding therapeutic procedures not clearly defined. In asymptomatic patients, no guidelines indicating whether surgical conservative treatment...
