Abstract Background Hyponatremia, a marker of disease severity and prognosis, has been associated with various clinical factors drug use, especially diuretics. Methods This observational prospective cohort study enrolled patients hospitalized at the University Hospital Center Split because heart failure (HF). We investigated association variables cardiovascular drugs, including furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone, their doses, presence hyponatremia admission. Results Of 565...
Background: The association of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) with heart failure (HF) remains a topic ongoing debate, particularly in the light type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to assess SHBG clinical and echocardiographic parameters HF men according presence T2DM. Methods: Data on baseline characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors medications, laboratory findings including serum total testosterone concentrations, were prospectively collected for 215 male patients...
Background: Surgical injury is associated with oxidative stress, often due to ischemia/reperfusion injury. During laparoscopy, increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by pneumoperitoneum may cause splanchnic ischemia followed reperfusion deflation. We measured several markers of stress in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) versus open (OC) find if these surgical procedures result different patterns stress. Methods: This prospective study enrolled 43 symptomatic...
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...
More than 75% of all injuries in modern wars are the extremities, usually with highly contaminated wounds and major soft tissue destruction. In this review, we present late functional results for 35 41 wounded patients who sustained solitary war extremities open fractures.During a 6-month period from August 1991 to February 1992, total 1,050 injured patients, 49 isolated fractures were treated General Hospital Nova Gradiska (Nova Gradiska, Croatia). The mean age was 34 years (range, 17-85...
Heart failure (HF) is a multiple hormonal deficiency syndrome which includes alterations in the serum concentration of thyroid hormones (TH). This cross-sectional study enrolled 215 male patients hospitalised for acute HF. Data on cardiovascular risk factors, chronic medications, cardiac function assessed by echocardiography, and clinical parameters HF were prospectively collected. The independent predictive association TH with all investigated severity assessed. patient's mean age was 74.4...
Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome recognized as health problem worldwide.Despite advances in treatment, patients with HF still have increased morbidity and mortality.Testosterone one of the most researched hormones course HF.Growing interest regar-ding effect testosterone, on variety body systems, has knowledge about its mechanisms action.The terms central peripheral effects are used to distinguish testosterone cardiac extracardiac structures.Central include influences cardiomyocytes...
This study aimed to evaluate potential posttreatment changes in ADC values within the tissue surrounding enhancing lesion, particularly areas not exhibiting MRI characteristics of in-volvement. Additionally, objective was investigate correlation between values, treatment response, and survival outcomes individuals diagnosed with gliomas.
 retrospective included a total 49 patients that underwent either stereotactic biopsy or maximal surgical resection. Histologically confirmed as Grade...
Abstract Meningiomas are among the most common primary tumors of central nervous system. Previous research into meningioma histological appearance, genetic markers, transcriptome and epigenetic landscape has revealed that benign meningiomas significantly differ in their glucose metabolism compared to aggressive lesions. However, a correlation between systemic tumor hasn’t yet been found. We hypothesized chronic levels glycaemia (approximated with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)) different...
Objective: The present report summarizes the experience of an evacuation hospital in southern Croatia treating 96 patients with spine and spinal cord war injuries. Methods: A retrospective review was done for wounded persons (86 soldiers, 10 civilians) injuries from August 1991 through December 1995. ages ranged 15 to 59 years (mean, 28.3 38.5 civilians). Diagnostic procedures were plain radiography, computed tomography, tomographic myelography. However, most cases a more conservative...
