Abstract Rhabdomyolysis is an acute failure of cellular homeostasis resulting in muscle breakdown, triggered by trauma, infection, drugs, or strenuous exercise. Recurrent rhabdomyolysis often associated with genetic and metabolic defects skeletal muscle. The sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2 (SERCA2), encoded the ATP2A2 gene, intracellular pump located sarcoplasmic endoplasmic that essential for maintaining calcium (Ca2+) highly expressed slow-twitch Heterozygous loss-of-function...
Introduction: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare, skeletal, autoinflammatory disorder that predominantly affects young females. In this case-based review, we present girl with progressive CRMO affecting the spine and causing spinal cord compression required two surgical interventions. Case Report: A 10-year-old was presented to pediatric rheumatologist because of diffuse back pain radiating her legs, waddling gait, sensitivity palpation in caudal cervical vertebral...
Three individuals dating to the Great Migration Period (5th century CE) were discovered in a pit at Hermanov vinograd site Osijek, Croatia. We inspired study these based on their unusual burial context as well identification of two different types artificial cranial deformation individuals. combine bioarchaeological analysis with radiographic imaging, stable isotopes analysis, and ancient DNA analyze dietary patterns, molecular sex, genetic affinities archaeological data attributes. While...
The aim of our study was to evaluate the potential and limitations standard clinical imaging modalities for examination ancient Egyptian canopic jars mummified visceral organs (putatively) contained within them.A series four imaged comparing three modalities: x-rays, computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance (MRI). Additionally, imaging-data-based volumetric calculations were performed quantitative assessment jar contents.The image contrast x-ray images limited by thickness high density...
Background: The surgical approach to liver echinococcosis is still a controversial issue. This study shows our results of treatment hydatid cysts during 5-year period.Methods: A prospective 21 patients operated on in period (1999–2003), Dubrava University Hospital Zagreb, Croatia, with hepatic cyst. All were pre-operatively treated albendazole. In 12 patients, total pericystectomy without opening the cyst cavity was performed, 9 open and 3 laparoscopic. other partial done, 6...
During archaeological rescue excavations carried out in 2007 at Potočani continental Croatia, a pit containing numerous human skeletal remains (MNI = 41) was discovered. The were mostly articulated but also commingled and showed no clear pattern of organization. There associated artifacts, just few pottery fragments probably belonging to the Copper Age Lasinja Culture (c. 4300 3950 BCE). Anthropological analyses suggest presence individuals all ages both sexes with many crania exhibiting...
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...
The aim of this study was to test the value computed tomography (CT)-guided endoscopy in scientific mummified remains and recovery unidentified objects from ancient remains. CT-guided performed on an Egyptian mummy Late Period help retrieve object its skull. combined use CT facilitated object, minimizing further damage itself. successful brittle allowed detailed analysis item be attempt determine nature presence cranial cavity. It confirmed that a monocotyledon stem fragment. Relying...
