Patients were between 22 and 72 years old. The main causes of pulmonary abnormalities were infections (5), hypervolaemia, hypoproteinaemia and heart failure (13). We had 11 patients (40.74%) with 18 pulmonary abnormalities: bronchopneumonia (2 pts), pleuritis sicca (1 pt), pleural effusion (10 pts): unilateral (4) and bilateral (7). Three patients had recurrent pulmonary infections and pulmonary abnormalities. All patients recovered and continued treatment with CAPD.

We also determined the serum levels of regulatory substances, parathormone and 1.25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 in 43 pts. grouped according to their group, sex, age average and season (autumn-winter) distribution. We established actual renal compensatory mechanisms for all of substances we determined, which were involved in homeostasis preservation of those substances. Some characteristic changes in plasma substance concentration and renal mechanisms of their regulation during CRF progression, suggest the following conclusions. No substances have preserved body homeostasis, although renal compensatory mechanism were expressed by different size for any of them. Those disturbances very tightly correlate with the stage of renal functional deterioration, as well as the serum parathormone rising and serum 1.25 DHHC decreasing.

For all participants, nitric oxide levels were measured non-invasively from the lungs through the mouth (i.e. the oral fractional exhaled nitric oxide) and the nose. Nasal nitric oxide was measured by two different methods: (1) nasal aspiration via one nostril during breath holding and (2) single-breath quiet exhalation against resistance through a tight facemask (i.e. the nasal fractional exhaled nitric oxide).Results:Compared with healthy participants, allergic rhinitis patients had significantly higher average oral and nasal nitric oxide levels. All methods of nitric oxide measurement had excellent reliability.Conclusion:Nasal nitric oxide measurement is a useful and reliable clinical tool for diagnosing allergic rhinitis in patients without asthma in an out-patient setting.

In order to explain the pathological changes in peritoneum due to renal diseases, it became necessary to explore the normal peritoneal structure. The aim of this study was to examine the morphology of peritoneal lining cells in healthy persons. Biopsies of the peritoneum were performed on 20 volunteer kidney donors. Tissue samples were taken during renal transplantation. Special care was taken in getting appropriate samples without artificial damage because of the extreme fragility of the peritoneal tissue. The preparing procedure was standard for routine HE staining and for plastic embedded semifine and fine sections studies. Semifine sections were made on ultramicrotome, stained with Toluidin blue and studied by light microscope, while fine sections were made by ultramicrotome and studied by transmission electron microscope. One layer of cuboidal or flattened lining cells present over the lamina propria connective tissue presented mesothelium. The cells were overlapped like tiles on the roof. Lateral parts of their interdigitated membranes were interconnected with different types of cell junctions: unpermeable, adhesion and communication junctions; inhibiting intercellular transport. Cell surface was often covered with great number of microvilli and lamellar bodies. A single kinocilia was also often present on apical cell surface. Nuclei were euchromatic with well developed nucleoli. Cytoplasm was filled with a great number of ribosomes, mitochondria, cisterns of rough endoplasmatic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, lamellar bodies and lipid inclusions. Numerous pinocytic vesicles on all parts of the membrane as well as in the cytoplasm indicating active endocytosis, egsocytosis and transcytosys in the process of secretion and reabsorption of serous liquid in peritoneal cavity, were visible. Euchromatic nuclei with prominent nucleoli and numerous mitochondria indicate cells of great metabolic activity.

Most commonly smuggled birds belong to parrots, song birds, raptor species and owls. All of these species are protected by national and international legislations. In order to prevent and reduce wildlife traffi cking, DNA methods have become an important forensic tool in species and sex identifi cation. In this study, CHD1R/CHD1F primer pair was used to amplify a part of the CHD1 gene from 65 birds that belong to 43 species. For 36 species this is the fi rst time that the length of CHD1 amplicons was measured for the purpose of species determination. The results were visualized using capillary electrophoresis and enabled simultaneous determination of sex and species. Based on the number of amplicons (two in females, one in males) sex was successfully determined in all species, even in cases where gel electrophoresis failed to give results. Moreover, the species was successfully determined in most bird species based on the species-specifi c sizes of CHD1 amplicon. The method used in this study is of great importance for veterinary forensic medicine and the prevention of wildlife smuggling. Still, further work is necessary to confi rm the effectiveness of the method in all bird species.

Research paper thumbnail of Gender Differences in Prosodic Characteristics of Speech in the Task of Serial Subtracting of Sevens

Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis, Mar 1, 2013

Pronunciation differences between genders are more numerous than those in grammatical form. This study aims to detect temporal prosodic patterns and investigate gender differences in performing serial sevens subtraction (SSS). One hundred students of medicine (equal number of males and females) voluntarily participated in the investigation. SSS was performed by asking the participant to perform mental arithmetic consisting of repeatedly subtractions of sevens, beginning from one thousand. The students had to pronounce aloud and simultaneously write the results for five minutes. The original program for the analysis of digital signals (ADS) converted the speech signal samples into digital data. MANOVA showed significant gender differences for a group of characteristics of the SSS test: F (11, 75)=4.06, p=0.000. The number of samples per each minute and the total number of samples during five minutes was higher in males compared to females. The average length of articulation of three-digit numbers, average length of articulation and length of pauses between the linguistic units, as well as between the samples, was shorter in males for each of these five minutes and for the "average" minute. The maximum intensity of speech was higher in males for each of the five minutes. Average duration of mispronunciations, with end results being correct, was longer in women in the first, second, and fourth minute, as well as for the "average" minute. A conclusion may be drawn that shorter utterances and pauses in men suggest the advantage on the part of men in SSS task, and not greater verbal fluency in general in men.

Subjects observed black square (resting period), simple picture representing movement of a hand and feet, and real hand movement. Ten-second artefacts free periods were analysed offline using spectral analysis (FFT algorithm). Results: We found increasement in C3, F3, P3 region during hand movement observation when compared to resting period. No differences were found between period of picture observation and resting period. Conclusions: Children with autism showed increasement in alpha band power during movement observation, which can be one of main dysfunctions in mirror neuron system.

Similarly, anorectal manometry is a diagnostic procedure used in patients with anal incontinence and terminal constipation. In patients with anal incontinence we measure resting pressure of internal anal sphincter (IAS), squeezing pressure of external anal sphincter (EAS) and rectal sensibility. In patients with functional terminal constipation we determine recto-anal inhibitory reflex, rectoanal excitatory reflex, rectal sensibility and pressure changes at a level of IAS and EAS during an effort to push out an intrarectal balloon inflated with a 50 ml of air. Our experience with 338 patients with esophageal and anorectal motility disorders confirms that both methods provide a reliable diagnostic procedure in establishing a definitive diagnosis.

Most patients (59.4%) were treated with two AEDs, 18.8% were on monotherapy, three AEDs were taking in 15.6% of patients, while two patients (6.25%) taking four AEDs. Most frequently used AEDs were valproate (50.00%) and lamotrigine (46.87%). Other AEDs were topiramate, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, levetiracetam, and clonazepam. We have found statistically significant correlation between the number of AEDs and number of perseverative response on the WCST. As the number of AEDs increased to the achievement of the measurements of executive function deteriorates. With the increasing number of AEDs in the treatment of patients with TLE increases the risk of developing disorder of executive function in these patients.

D. immitis parazitira u desnoj strani srca i plućnoj arteriji, dovodeći do značajnog funkcionalnog oštećenja srca, dok adultni oblici D. repens uglavnom parazitiraju u subkutanom tkivu dovodeći do manjih oštećenja kože. U ovom istraživanju ispitano je 60 pasa, različitih rasa, sa teritorije grada Beograda, u periodu od maja do novembra 2015. godine. Nakon kliničkog pregleda, krv je uzorkovana za detekciju mikrofilarija modifikovanim Knott-ovim testom, kao i za molekularnu detekciju uzročnika. Glavni klinički znaci su bili: brzo zamaranje tokom treninga, otežano disanje i suv kašalj, anoreksija, ubrzan rad srca i promene na koži. Mikrofilarije su detektovane kod 22 psa (37%) modifikovanim Knott-ovim testom. Molekularno genetskom metodom utvrđena je prevalencija D.immitis 42%, a D. repens 22 %. U sprovedenom istraživanju je bilo 7 pasa koji su bili negativni na Knott testu, dok su metodom PCR pokazali pozitivnu reakciju na prisustvo vrsta iz roda Dirofilaria. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata primena molekularno-genetskih metoda potvrđuje svoju opravdanost u preciznoj i pouzdanoj specijskoj identifikaciji roda Dirofilaria.

Komorbidne bolesti mogu da utiču na izbor lečenja, kao i na stopu preživljavanja. Instrumenti za procenu komorbiditeta mogu biti: opšti-mere stepen komorbiditeta kod različitih oboljenja npr. Čarlsonov indeks komorbiditeta (Charlson Comorbidity Index ili CCI) i specifični-mere stepen komorbiditeta kod određenog oboljenja npr. Procena komorbiditeta kod odraslih-27 indeks (Adult Comorbidity Evaluation-27 index ili ACE-27 index). Ciljevi rada su: Ispitati značaj komorbiditeta za preživljavanje bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa pomoću CCI i ACE-27 indeksa; Odrediti da li postoji razlika u učestalosti javljanja komorbiditeta i u dužini preživljavanja između bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom supraglotisa u odnosu na bolesnike s karcinomom glotisa; Ispitati značaj opšteg (CCI) i specifičnog (ACE-27) indeksa u proceni preživljavanja bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa. Materijal i metode: U studiju je uključeno 177 novoobolelih od planocelularnog karcinoma larinksa (T 1-T 4) koji su lečeni hirurški ili hirurški u kombinaciji s postoperacionom radioterapijom u Klinici za otorinolaringologiju i maksilofacijalnu hirurgiju Kliničkog centra Srbije u periodu od 1.1.2000. do 31.12.2003. godine. Podaci o bolesnicima su prikupljeni iz istorija bolesti, patohistoloških izveštaja i registra za maligna oboljenja. U statističkoj analizi podataka korišćena je krivulja preživljavanja prema Kaplanu i Mejeru (Meier), log-rank test, Koksov (Cox) proporcionalni hazardni model, Man-Vitnijev (Mann-Whitney) test i Kruskal-Volisov (Kruskal-Wallis) test. Rezultati: Prema CCI, 40,1% (71) bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa je imalo komorbidne bolesti od kojih su najčešće bile kardiovaskularne (40,3%), respiratorne (27,8%) i gastrointestinalne (14,4%). Međutim, prema ACE-27 indeksu, 66,7% (118) bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom je imalo komorbidne bolesti a _________________________________________________________________________ VI najčešće su bile kardiovaskularne (53,1%), respiratorne (15,6%) i gastrointestinalne (8,8%). Skoro svaki četvrti oboleli je imao dve ili više komorbidnih bolesti prema CCI, kao i prema ACE-27 indeksu. Težak stepen komorbiditeta je bio zastupljen kod 5,6% bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinom larinksa prema CCI i kod 9,6% prema ACE-27 indeksu. Bolesnici s karcinomom supraglotisa su imali značajno veći (p < 0,01) stepen težine komorbiditeta u odnosu na bolesnike s karcinomom glotisa. Bolesnici s karcinomom glotisa imali su značajno višu (p < 0,05) stopu petogodišnjeg ukupnog preživljavanja u odnosu na bolesnike s karcinomom supraglotisa. Bolesnici bez komorbiditeta i s blagim komorbiditetom, u odnosu na ACE-27 indeks, imali su statistički značajno bolje (p < 0,01) petogodišnje ukupno i specifično preživljavanje za bolest u odnosu na bolesnike s umerenim i teškim komorbiditetom. Prema univarijantnoj analizi, komorbiditet je imao uticaj na prognozu maligne bolesti, bez obzira koji indeks je primenjen. Prema rezultatima multivarijantne analize, značajni nezavisni prognostički faktori petogodišnjeg ukupnog i specifičnog preživljavanja za planocelularni karcinom larinksa su bili tumor-nodusmetastaza (TNM) stadijum i komorbiditet stepenovan prema ACE-27 indeksu. Zaključak: Naša studija je pokazala da su komorbiditet stepenovan pomoću ACE-27 indeksa i TNM stadijum značajni prognostički faktori za petogodišnje ukupno i specifično preživljavanje kod bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa. Buduće prospektivne studije trebalo bi da uključe komorbiditet kao faktor prognoze za preživljavanje bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa, a kao instrument izbora u cilju merenja komorbiditeta predlaže se primena ACE-27 indeksa. Štaviše, predlažemo primenu TNM-komorbiditet indeksa za petogodišnje ukupno i specifično preživljavanje kod bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa.

For all participants, nitric oxide levels were measured non-invasively from the lungs through the mouth (i.e. the oral fractional exhaled nitric oxide) and the nose. Nasal nitric oxide was measured by two different methods: (1) nasal aspiration via one nostril during breath holding and (2) single-breath quiet exhalation against resistance through a tight facemask (i.e. the nasal fractional exhaled nitric oxide).Results:Compared with healthy participants, allergic rhinitis patients had significantly higher average oral and nasal nitric oxide levels. All methods of nitric oxide measurement had excellent reliability.Conclusion:Nasal nitric oxide measurement is a useful and reliable clinical tool for diagnosing allergic rhinitis in patients without asthma in an out-patient setting.

In order to explain the pathological changes in peritoneum due to renal diseases, it became necessary to explore the normal peritoneal structure. The aim of this study was to examine the morphology of peritoneal lining cells in healthy persons. Biopsies of the peritoneum were performed on 20 volunteer kidney donors. Tissue samples were taken during renal transplantation. Special care was taken in getting appropriate samples without artificial damage because of the extreme fragility of the peritoneal tissue. The preparing procedure was standard for routine HE staining and for plastic embedded semifine and fine sections studies. Semifine sections were made on ultramicrotome, stained with Toluidin blue and studied by light microscope, while fine sections were made by ultramicrotome and studied by transmission electron microscope. One layer of cuboidal or flattened lining cells present over the lamina propria connective tissue presented mesothelium. The cells were overlapped like tiles on the roof. Lateral parts of their interdigitated membranes were interconnected with different types of cell junctions: unpermeable, adhesion and communication junctions; inhibiting intercellular transport. Cell surface was often covered with great number of microvilli and lamellar bodies. A single kinocilia was also often present on apical cell surface. Nuclei were euchromatic with well developed nucleoli. Cytoplasm was filled with a great number of ribosomes, mitochondria, cisterns of rough endoplasmatic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, lamellar bodies and lipid inclusions. Numerous pinocytic vesicles on all parts of the membrane as well as in the cytoplasm indicating active endocytosis, egsocytosis and transcytosys in the process of secretion and reabsorption of serous liquid in peritoneal cavity, were visible. Euchromatic nuclei with prominent nucleoli and numerous mitochondria indicate cells of great metabolic activity.

Most commonly smuggled birds belong to parrots, song birds, raptor species and owls. All of these species are protected by national and international legislations. In order to prevent and reduce wildlife traffi cking, DNA methods have become an important forensic tool in species and sex identifi cation. In this study, CHD1R/CHD1F primer pair was used to amplify a part of the CHD1 gene from 65 birds that belong to 43 species. For 36 species this is the fi rst time that the length of CHD1 amplicons was measured for the purpose of species determination. The results were visualized using capillary electrophoresis and enabled simultaneous determination of sex and species. Based on the number of amplicons (two in females, one in males) sex was successfully determined in all species, even in cases where gel electrophoresis failed to give results. Moreover, the species was successfully determined in most bird species based on the species-specifi c sizes of CHD1 amplicon. The method used in this study is of great importance for veterinary forensic medicine and the prevention of wildlife smuggling. Still, further work is necessary to confi rm the effectiveness of the method in all bird species.

Pronunciation differences between genders are more numerous than those in grammatical form. This study aims to detect temporal prosodic patterns and investigate gender differences in performing serial sevens subtraction (SSS). One hundred students of medicine (equal number of males and females) voluntarily participated in the investigation. SSS was performed by asking the participant to perform mental arithmetic consisting of repeatedly subtractions of sevens, beginning from one thousand. The students had to pronounce aloud and simultaneously write the results for five minutes. The original program for the analysis of digital signals (ADS) converted the speech signal samples into digital data. MANOVA showed significant gender differences for a group of characteristics of the SSS test: F (11, 75)=4.06, p=0.000. The number of samples per each minute and the total number of samples during five minutes was higher in males compared to females. The average length of articulation of three-digit numbers, average length of articulation and length of pauses between the linguistic units, as well as between the samples, was shorter in males for each of these five minutes and for the "average" minute. The maximum intensity of speech was higher in males for each of the five minutes. Average duration of mispronunciations, with end results being correct, was longer in women in the first, second, and fourth minute, as well as for the "average" minute. A conclusion may be drawn that shorter utterances and pauses in men suggest the advantage on the part of men in SSS task, and not greater verbal fluency in general in men.

Subjects observed black square (resting period), simple picture representing movement of a hand and feet, and real hand movement. Ten-second artefacts free periods were analysed offline using spectral analysis (FFT algorithm). Results: We found increasement in C3, F3, P3 region during hand movement observation when compared to resting period. No differences were found between period of picture observation and resting period. Conclusions: Children with autism showed increasement in alpha band power during movement observation, which can be one of main dysfunctions in mirror neuron system.

Similarly, anorectal manometry is a diagnostic procedure used in patients with anal incontinence and terminal constipation. In patients with anal incontinence we measure resting pressure of internal anal sphincter (IAS), squeezing pressure of external anal sphincter (EAS) and rectal sensibility. In patients with functional terminal constipation we determine recto-anal inhibitory reflex, rectoanal excitatory reflex, rectal sensibility and pressure changes at a level of IAS and EAS during an effort to push out an intrarectal balloon inflated with a 50 ml of air. Our experience with 338 patients with esophageal and anorectal motility disorders confirms that both methods provide a reliable diagnostic procedure in establishing a definitive diagnosis.

Most patients (59.4%) were treated with two AEDs, 18.8% were on monotherapy, three AEDs were taking in 15.6% of patients, while two patients (6.25%) taking four AEDs. Most frequently used AEDs were valproate (50.00%) and lamotrigine (46.87%). Other AEDs were topiramate, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, levetiracetam, and clonazepam. We have found statistically significant correlation between the number of AEDs and number of perseverative response on the WCST. As the number of AEDs increased to the achievement of the measurements of executive function deteriorates. With the increasing number of AEDs in the treatment of patients with TLE increases the risk of developing disorder of executive function in these patients.

D. immitis parazitira u desnoj strani srca i plućnoj arteriji, dovodeći do značajnog funkcionalnog oštećenja srca, dok adultni oblici D. repens uglavnom parazitiraju u subkutanom tkivu dovodeći do manjih oštećenja kože. U ovom istraživanju ispitano je 60 pasa, različitih rasa, sa teritorije grada Beograda, u periodu od maja do novembra 2015. godine. Nakon kliničkog pregleda, krv je uzorkovana za detekciju mikrofilarija modifikovanim Knott-ovim testom, kao i za molekularnu detekciju uzročnika. Glavni klinički znaci su bili: brzo zamaranje tokom treninga, otežano disanje i suv kašalj, anoreksija, ubrzan rad srca i promene na koži. Mikrofilarije su detektovane kod 22 psa (37%) modifikovanim Knott-ovim testom. Molekularno genetskom metodom utvrđena je prevalencija D.immitis 42%, a D. repens 22 %. U sprovedenom istraživanju je bilo 7 pasa koji su bili negativni na Knott testu, dok su metodom PCR pokazali pozitivnu reakciju na prisustvo vrsta iz roda Dirofilaria. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata primena molekularno-genetskih metoda potvrđuje svoju opravdanost u preciznoj i pouzdanoj specijskoj identifikaciji roda Dirofilaria.

Komorbidne bolesti mogu da utiču na izbor lečenja, kao i na stopu preživljavanja. Instrumenti za procenu komorbiditeta mogu biti: opšti-mere stepen komorbiditeta kod različitih oboljenja npr. Čarlsonov indeks komorbiditeta (Charlson Comorbidity Index ili CCI) i specifični-mere stepen komorbiditeta kod određenog oboljenja npr. Procena komorbiditeta kod odraslih-27 indeks (Adult Comorbidity Evaluation-27 index ili ACE-27 index). Ciljevi rada su: Ispitati značaj komorbiditeta za preživljavanje bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa pomoću CCI i ACE-27 indeksa; Odrediti da li postoji razlika u učestalosti javljanja komorbiditeta i u dužini preživljavanja između bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom supraglotisa u odnosu na bolesnike s karcinomom glotisa; Ispitati značaj opšteg (CCI) i specifičnog (ACE-27) indeksa u proceni preživljavanja bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa. Materijal i metode: U studiju je uključeno 177 novoobolelih od planocelularnog karcinoma larinksa (T 1-T 4) koji su lečeni hirurški ili hirurški u kombinaciji s postoperacionom radioterapijom u Klinici za otorinolaringologiju i maksilofacijalnu hirurgiju Kliničkog centra Srbije u periodu od 1.1.2000. do 31.12.2003. godine. Podaci o bolesnicima su prikupljeni iz istorija bolesti, patohistoloških izveštaja i registra za maligna oboljenja. U statističkoj analizi podataka korišćena je krivulja preživljavanja prema Kaplanu i Mejeru (Meier), log-rank test, Koksov (Cox) proporcionalni hazardni model, Man-Vitnijev (Mann-Whitney) test i Kruskal-Volisov (Kruskal-Wallis) test. Rezultati: Prema CCI, 40,1% (71) bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa je imalo komorbidne bolesti od kojih su najčešće bile kardiovaskularne (40,3%), respiratorne (27,8%) i gastrointestinalne (14,4%). Međutim, prema ACE-27 indeksu, 66,7% (118) bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom je imalo komorbidne bolesti a _________________________________________________________________________ VI najčešće su bile kardiovaskularne (53,1%), respiratorne (15,6%) i gastrointestinalne (8,8%). Skoro svaki četvrti oboleli je imao dve ili više komorbidnih bolesti prema CCI, kao i prema ACE-27 indeksu. Težak stepen komorbiditeta je bio zastupljen kod 5,6% bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinom larinksa prema CCI i kod 9,6% prema ACE-27 indeksu. Bolesnici s karcinomom supraglotisa su imali značajno veći (p < 0,01) stepen težine komorbiditeta u odnosu na bolesnike s karcinomom glotisa. Bolesnici s karcinomom glotisa imali su značajno višu (p < 0,05) stopu petogodišnjeg ukupnog preživljavanja u odnosu na bolesnike s karcinomom supraglotisa. Bolesnici bez komorbiditeta i s blagim komorbiditetom, u odnosu na ACE-27 indeks, imali su statistički značajno bolje (p < 0,01) petogodišnje ukupno i specifično preživljavanje za bolest u odnosu na bolesnike s umerenim i teškim komorbiditetom. Prema univarijantnoj analizi, komorbiditet je imao uticaj na prognozu maligne bolesti, bez obzira koji indeks je primenjen. Prema rezultatima multivarijantne analize, značajni nezavisni prognostički faktori petogodišnjeg ukupnog i specifičnog preživljavanja za planocelularni karcinom larinksa su bili tumor-nodusmetastaza (TNM) stadijum i komorbiditet stepenovan prema ACE-27 indeksu. Zaključak: Naša studija je pokazala da su komorbiditet stepenovan pomoću ACE-27 indeksa i TNM stadijum značajni prognostički faktori za petogodišnje ukupno i specifično preživljavanje kod bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa. Buduće prospektivne studije trebalo bi da uključe komorbiditet kao faktor prognoze za preživljavanje bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa, a kao instrument izbora u cilju merenja komorbiditeta predlaže se primena ACE-27 indeksa. Štaviše, predlažemo primenu TNM-komorbiditet indeksa za petogodišnje ukupno i specifično preživljavanje kod bolesnika s planocelularnim karcinomom larinksa.
