With stress echo (SE) 2020 study, a new standard of practice in imaging was developed and disseminated: the ABCDE protocol for functional testing within beyond CAD. fruit SE 2020, is seed 2030, which articulated 12 projects: 1-SE coronary artery disease (SECAD); 2-SE diastolic heart failure (SEDIA); 3-SE hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (SEHCA); 4-SE post-chest radiotherapy chemotherapy (SERA); 5-Artificial intelligence evaluation (AI-SEE); 6-Environmental echocardiography air pollution (ESTER);...
Radiotherapy-induced toxicity is a major dose-limiting factor in anti-cancer treatment. Ionizing radiation leads to the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) that are associated with radiation-induced cell death. Investigations biological effects fullerenol have provided evidence for its ROS/RNS scavenger properties vitro radioprotective efficiency vivo. Therefore we were interested evaluate human erythroleukemia line. Pre-treatment irradiated cells by exerted...
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) can be treated with corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulins. Various corticosteroid regimens are currently used in CIDP, but it is unknown whether they equally efficacious. In this retrospective study, we compared efficacy and safety of three CIDP patients. We included treatment naïve patients that fulfilled the EFNS/PNS criteria for CIDP. Patients were according to local protocol expertise centres. Corticosteroid consisted...
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous entity including patients different phenotypes of near normal, and supernormal left ventricular (LV) function. To assess the value resting LV elastance (also known as force) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to identify HFpEF phenotypes. In prospective, observational, multicenter study, 2380 were recruited from July 2016 May 2024. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured. We assessed end-diastolic volume (EDV),...
The natural progression of bioprosthetic valve degeneration over time requires further interventions for those experiencing symptomatic prosthesis dysfunction. Transcatheter aortic replacement (TAVR) emerges as a promising therapeutic option to alleviate symptoms in such patients. valve-in-valve (ViV) technique eliminates the necessity repetitive open-heart surgical procedures, offering particular advantages individuals with higher risks. In this report, we describe case 78-year-old female...
Abstract Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) represent distinct subtypes of chronic inflammatory bowel (IBD) with increasing global incidence. New studies suggest that adopting a top-down strategy, characterized by the early initiation biological therapy, yields superior control enhances clinical outcomes. The utilization therapy increases susceptibility to opportunistic infections, such as tuberculosis (TB). We are witnessing an unexpected rise in TB infection...
Abstract Background Sarcopenia is an important consideration in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), both prognosis and treatment. Since current data on sarcopenia IBD are limited based mostly muscle quantity, it’s to incorporate function assessment into evaluation identify patient groups at increased risk. Methods A cross-sectional study included 84 Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients undergoing Infliximab therapy (64 males, mean age 34). Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis...
ABSTRACT Introduction A recent pan‐cancer transcriptome analysis indicated differential activity of alternative promoters genes TNS3 and LRRFIP1 in head neck squamous cell carcinoma compared to non‐cancerous tissue. The upregulated regulate expression transcripts TNS3‐203 LRRFIP1‐211. Objective Our aim was investigate the biomarker potential LRRFIP1‐211 oral cancer, most common type cancer. Materials Methods An silico approach used characterize interest. Relative evaluated by qRT‐PCR a group...
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...
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) significantly contribute to heterogeneity, malignancy, and therapy resistance in ovarian cancer. Recent studies emphasize the role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulating cell differentiation stemness various types This study aims determine expression levels CD44, CD133, VDR epithelial tumors (EOTs) compare these across different tumor types, including benign, atypical proliferative tumors, five malignant phenotypes, order evaluate their potential as diagnostic tools...
Abstract A seroepizootiological study of Toxoplasma gondii infection involving a total 488 slaughter pigs (468 market-weight and 20 sows) in the Belgrade area, also included examination presence T. blood. Blood sampled at line was examined for specific antibodies by modified direct agglutination, blood clots those seropositive titres 1:50-1:12800 were bioassayed mice. The overall seroprevalence 9.2%, significantly higher ( p = 0.0063) sows (30.0%) than (8.3%). Amongst 22 bioassays performed,...
To assess the role of synanthropic rodents in epidemiology urban toxoplasmosis, Toxoplasma gondii infection was examined 144 rats (Rattus norvegicus) and 12 mice (Mus musculus) captured using live animal traps three locations Belgrade city characterized by poor housing degraded environment. In rats, specific IgG antibodies were detected modified agglutination test 22 (27.5%) 80 blood samples available. brain cysts microscopically 11 (7.6%), DNA real-time polymerase chain reaction...
BACKGROUND Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) has been employed for many years examining thyroid nodules, and the cytology of aspirates is primary determinant whether thyroidectomy indicated. Fifteen to thirty percent not being clearly benign or malignant, fall into an indeterminate category. The main goals molecular diagnostics nodules are prevent unnecessary surgery in patients with stop malignant from subjected repeated operations. METHODS This study was designed evaluate diagnostic utility 4...
Consumption of undercooked or insufficiently cured meat is a major risk factor for human infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Although horsemeat typically consumed rare undercooked, information on the T. gondii from infected horse to humans scarce. Here, we present results study determine presence in slaughter horses Serbia, and attempt isolate viable parasites. The included all regions Serbia slaughtered at two abattoirs between June 2013 2015. Blood sera were tested specific IgG antibodies by...
