The postmortem remains of sixty-one war victims were excavated from 6 mass graves in Bosnia and Herzegovina one a half years after interment Using standard identification methods, including the matching medical dental records, recognition distinguishing characteristics such as use clothing belongings, video superimposition, 35 persons identified. For remaining 26 efforts continue. DNA typing was performed at HLA DQA1 locus five PM system loci. Results confirmed by other methods. profiles...
Meningiomas account for about 30% of all primary brain tumors. It is difficult to predict the behaviour meningiomas, and identification protein markers responsible regulation cell proliferation can be very helpful. The aim this study was evaluate immunohistochemical expression Ki-67 p53 in 170 meningiomas.A total number meningioma samples were classified according WHO, immunohistochemically stained analysed using light microscope. Of meningiomas analysed, 142 grade I, 17 II 11 III. Female...
Skeletal remains of 35 individuals from the Croatian excavation site Kamen Most – Kaldrma fourteenth to fifteenth centuries were analyzed anthropologically. Due specific skeletal characteristics, eight them in great detail this study. The results additional analysis indicated that all bone elements, except pelves, persons belonged males. All pelvic girdle have characteristics female sex and pronounced muscle attachments are both indicative horse riding. had at least two six changes on femora...
Objectives: To examine seroprevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies in industry workers population sample. Methods: From 23 to April 28, 2020, we conducted serological testing for (Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM)) on 1494 factory employees living the Split-Dalmatia Šibenik-Knin County (Croatia). Results: We detected 1.27% participants (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77–1.98%). In Split facility 13/1316 (0.99%, 95% CI 0.53–1.68%)...
AimTo investigate the usefulness of humerus measurement for sex determination in a sample medieval skeletons from Eastern Adriatic Coast. Additional aim was to compare results with contemporary female population.MethodsFive measurements (maximum length, epicondylar width, maximum vertical diameter head, and minimum at midshaft) 80 male 35 19 humeri were recorded. Only sufficiently preserved those no obvious pathological or traumatic changes that could affect included. For ten samples,...
AimTo define the Y-chromosome genetic structure in a sample of men from southern Croatia.MethodsBlood samples were collected 166 unrelated healthy Croatia at Department Forensic Medicine and Biochemical Laboratory University Hospital Split between 2004 2007. Genomic DNA was extracted using standard procedures. Seventeen short tandem repeat (Y-STR) polymorphic loci (DYS456, DYS389I, DYS390, DYS389II, DYS458, DYS19, DYS385, DYS393, DYS391, DYS439, DYS635, DYS392, GATAH4, DYS437, DYS438,...
To develop discriminant functions for sex estimation on medieval Croatian population and test their application contemporary population.From a total of 519 skeletons, we chose 84 adult excellently preserved skeletons free antemortem or postmortem changes took all standard measurements. Sex was estimated/determined using anthropological procedures ancient DNA (amelogenin analysis) where pelvis insufficiently morphological indicators were not consistent. We explored which measurements showed...
Several genes and their single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with either spontaneous resolution of hepatitis C infection or better treatment-induced viral clearance. We tested a cohort intravenous drug users (IVDU) diagnosed chronic virus (HCV) for treatment response its association the SNPs in interleukin-6 (rs1800795-IL6) interleukin-28B (rs12979860-IL28B) genes.The study included 110 Croatian IVDU positive anti-HCV antibody. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND As a result of global spread, COVID-19 has also affected the Republic Croatia in last week February. Although official data show that number newly infected is declining, it still unknown what proportion population been by disease. AIM To examine seroprevalence SARS-CoV-2 antibodies industry workers sample. METHODS From 23 to 28 April 2020, we conducted serological testing for (IgG and IgM) on 1494 factory employees living Split-Dalmatia Šibenik-Knin County (Croatia). We...
Sister Marija Krucifiksa Kozulić (1852–1922) was a Croatian nun who is in consideration for beatification by the Vatican, which facilitated identification of her 20th-century remains. buried tomb Rijeka, Croatia, along with other nuns including biological sister, Tereza (1861–1933). When remains were exhumed 2011, they found deteriorated state and commingled several sets Thus, mitochondrial genome sequencing long bones performed to sort haplotype. Two similar but unique haplotypes belonging...
AimTo compare the population group from Šopot graveyard with groups traditional Croatian medieval graveyards by using anthropological, craniometrics, and mitochondrial (mtDNA) analysis to examine if cultural differences between reflect biological differences.MethodsWe determined sex, age at death, pathological, traumatic changes of skeletal remains compared them a cumulative sample same region. We also performed principal component those Ostrovica other Central European samples according 8...
The adjusted binary classification (ABC) approach was proposed to assure that the model reaches a particular accuracy level. present study evaluated ABC for osteometric sex using multiple machine learning (ML) techniques: linear discriminant analysis (LDA), boosted generalized (GLMB), support vector (SVM), and logistic regression (LR). We used 13 femoral measurements of 300 individuals from modern Turkish population sample split data into two sets: training (n = 240) testing 60). Then, five...
This study examined if the cranial measurements from Data Collection Procedures for Forensic Skeletal Material 2.0 are repeatable when measured in dry bones and MSCT images virtual correspond to physical ones. The sample included 33 crania imaged by MSCT. Two observers bones, two placed landmarks on 2D 3D reconstructions, one conducted measurements/landmarking both media. One of each media repeated measurements. Technical relative technical error measurement (TEM rTEM) percentage differences...
