Impedance and voltage of monopolar currents are directly related. By replacing air with saline solution, a change in behavior these achieved endoscopy, resulting desired coagulation effect. However, the underlying electrophysical mechanisms this effect remain poorly explained. This investigation assessed relationship between electrical parameters surrounding environment for three high-voltage commonly used therapeutic endoscopy. Six consecutive applications per setting were performed...
The primary objective in the study is determination of efficacy probiotic preparation as a supportive therapy eradication Helicobacter pylori. was multicenter, prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, and double-blind. subjects first filled out specially designed questionnaire to assess severity 10 symptoms, which can be related monitored during trial. Each subject then received 28 capsules or matching capsules, they were supposed take over following 14 days, twice day, at least 2 hours...
Abstract Background & Aims To analyse elastographic characteristics of focal liver lesions ( FLL )s and diagnostic performance real‐time two‐dimensional shear‐wave elastography RT ‐2D‐ SWE ) in order to differentiate benign malignant s. Methods Consecutive patients diagnosed with by abdominal ultrasound US underwent non‐infiltrated intercostal approach over the right lobe. The nature was determined work‐up, including at least one contrast‐enhanced imaging modality MDCT / MRI ), check‐up...
Aims. To investigate morbidity and mortality in a real-life cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) relation to prevalence severity nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods. Patients T2D were referred for assessment fibrosis by the FIB-4 test stiffness measurement (LSM) vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE). Liver steatosis was quantified controlled attenuation parameter (CAP). These followed until death or censored date. Results. Among 454 (52% males, mean age...
To determine (i) the prevalence of HBV infection in families confirmed chronic carriers, (ii) possible routes transmission and risk factors for intrafamilial transmission, (iii) vaccination rate among family members carriers (iv) with highest infection.A total 172 67 hepatitis B surface antigen were tested markers; 716 first-time blood donors from same area used as controls.Prevalence was higher (P<0.001) index cases (12.2%; 21/172) than controls (3.6%; 26/716) relative 3.3 (95% confidence...
The allele 1691A F5, conferring Factor V Leiden, is a common risk factor in venous thromboembolism. frequency distribution for this Western Europe has been well documented; but here data from Central, Eastern and South-Eastern included. In order to assess the significance of collated data, chi-squared test was applied, Tukey tests z-tests with Bonferroni correction were compared.A North-Southeast band high F5 discovered pocket including some Southern Slavic populations low frequency....
Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is one of the Eastern European countries that lacks data on epidemiology ulcerative colitis (UC).We aimed to assess epidemiological clinical characteristics UC in Tuzla Canton B&H during a 12-year period (1995-2006).We retrospectively evaluated hospital records both inpatients outpatients residing (total 496 280 inhabitants) between 1995 2006. Patients firmly satisfied diagnostic criteria for were included study. Incidence rates calculated with age...
: Background: Data on the epidemiology of hepatitis B and C in Bosnia Herzegovina (B&H) are lacking.Objectives: To assess prevalence surface antigen (HBsAg) anti-hepatitis virus (anti-HCV) blood samples first time donors a well-defined region B&H. Our secondary goal was to estimate HBsAg anti-HCV general population same region.Patients Methods: We evaluated 8196 for presence and/or anti-HCV, adjusted differences gender, used ratio estimation method determine population.Results: analyzed 1263...
Prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is an issue that not sufficiently researched there a need for studies would explore this detail.The aim study was to determine the distribution HCV group patients with chronic also first time blood donors tested positive anti antibodies during screening process. Our secondary goal compare proportions between these two groups.We analyzed 75 samples confirmed C. We 13/16082 found be determined genotype RNA...
Background: Venous thrombosis (VT) affects 1–2 out of 103 individuals each year. Mutations 1691G > A FV gene, 20210G PT gene and 677C T MTHFR are common in Europe increase the risk venous thrombosis. To authors’ knowledge, this is first report on prevalence these mutations general population Bosnia Herzegovina.Aim: The aim study was to simultaneously analyse main VT associated polymorphisms compare results with those published for other European populations.Data sources: Electronic databases...
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is currently the leading cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea, but almost nothing known about extent C. infection (CDI) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.We aimed to retrospectively analyze CDI hospitalized patients at University Clinical Center (UCC) Tuzla, Herzegovina from January 2009 through June 2012.We analyzed all (except children ages 0-2), diagnosed with based on anamnestic epidemiological, clinical picture microbiological tests (proof toxins stool by...
