<i >Purpose.</i> The pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is insufficiently understood but may possibly involve chronic, low-grade inflammation. aim this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between inflammatory and haemostatic markers, other markers endothelial dysfunction anthropometric parameters, their association with DR in patients type 2 diabetes. >Methods.</i> According status were divided into three groups: no retinopathy, mild/moderate nonproliferative...
Agriculture is one of the several major sources nitrate pollution, and therefore EU Nitrate Directive, designed to decrease has been implemented. Point like septic systems broken sewage also contribute water pollution. Pollution groundwater by from 19 shallow wells was studied in a typical agricultural region, middle Podravina, northwest Croatia. The concentration ranged <0.1 367 mg/l wells, 29.8 % 253 total samples were above maximum acceptable value 50 (MAV). Among regions R1–R6, there no...
Tree height is one of the more fundamental measurements in forest inventories. In addition to classical field measurements, tree may be estimated by remote sensing methods, such as photogrammetric aerial images. Since it has been found and generally accepted that extraction data from analogue photographs certain limitations, especially densely canopied forests, usefulness photogrammetric-based inventory many countries remains a controversial issue. Therefore, this paper focuses on...
Research highlights: The susceptibility of oaks to late spring and early autumn frosts is directly related their leaf phenology. Drought may alter the phenology therefore frost tolerance oaks. However, effects drought on oak resistance have not been thoroughly studied. Background objectives: One consequences climate change an increase in frequency dry episodes during vegetation period. Pedunculate (Quercus robur L.) economically ecologically important forest tree species that prefers humid...
Chromosome Aberrations in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes of Croatian Hospital Staff Occupationally Exposed to Low Levels Ionising Radiation Medical staff is an occupational group exposed different agents suspected induce genetic damage. Among them ionising radiation the most studied. Cytogenetic analysis human chromosomes peripheral lymphocytes allows direct detection mutation somatic cells. This study investigated cytogenetic effects low-level x-radiation 48-hour blood lymphocyte cultures...
A provenance experiment of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) was established in Croatia 1998 as part an international network trials. Of the 36 provenances present trial, six were selected for presentation a new method assessing their adaptability: easternmost (Ukraine UK-59), westernmost (France F-5), northernmost (Sweden S-23), two southernmost (Croatia, CR-3 and CR-18) one central (Czech Republic CZ-51). The selection made by choosing minimal number most distant from area natural...
This research analyzed the motivating and demotivating factors amongst employees in a wood processing furniture manufacturing company. Research was conducted over year 2010, during time of full economic crisis before restructuring company done. Analysis also 2014, beginning recovery after with survey using questionnaire containing six questions multiple choice statements. The were closed-ended, respondents used Likert four-level scale importance for each statement. A total 180 surveyed,...
In children, congenital heart defects represent the primary cause of increased serum troponin I. The elimination process cardiac I from bloodstream and factors influencing this remain unknown. objective study was to explore role as an indicator damage in children both urine, a concept previously investigated adults.
The main aim was to develop models for predicting diameter at breast height (DBH), merchantable tree volume (V), and aboveground biomass (AGB) of individual black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) trees grown in Sub-Mediterranean Croatian pure even-aged forests, which will be suitable remote sensing based forest inventories. In total, eight variables obtained from field measurement, existing database, digital terrain model were candidates independent regression analysis. DBH, V, AGB modeled as linear...
Aims. To investigate the behaviour of adiponectin (ApN) in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetic nephropathy. Methods. ApN inflammatory other markers metabolic syndrome were compared across diabetes types, albumin excretion rate (AER), creatinine clearance (CrCl) categories 219 patients. Results. Significant differences among levels according to AER found both types (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
Adiponectin (ApN) is considered to be responsible for reduction of inflammation and known included in lipid metabolism. This study was designed assess the role adiponectin patients with type 1 2 diabetes determine parameters important prediction adiponectin.Adiponectin, high sensitive C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, homocysteine, C-peptide, panel addition clinical laboratory definition diabetes, obesity metabolic syndrome were measured 118 patients.The best model (R2=0.989) predicting white...
