Acid-Base Balance

Jošt Anton, Pakiž Maja

Acids are donors, while bases are acceptors of protons in solutions. Many various acids and bases are incorporated into organisms by everyday alimentation and cell metabolism, while the output routes are the respiratory system, kidneys and gastrointestinal system. The concentration of free protons in the blood (expressed as pH value) is strictly regulated, as it has a great impact on … Preberite več >>

Determination of the Most Favorable Regional Geometry in Hip Reconstruction after Femoral Neck Fracture

Kocjančič Bošjan, Kersnič Boštjan

A mathematical model can be used to evaluate the biomechanical status of the hip after surgical intervention. By using such a model, it is possible to evaluate changes in the magnitude of the hip-joint reaction force and its inclination, as well as the forces of the hip abductors at various positions of the greater trochanter with respect to the center

Selection of Suitable Monoclonal Antibodies and Optimization of the Immunohistochemical Method for the Detection of Pathological Prion Protein in the Brains of Patients with Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Frol Senta, Hren Martin

Reliable diagnosis of prion diseases is based on a positive immunohistochemical reaction (IHR) using antibodies against prion protein (PrP). Unfortunately, this does not distinguish between cellular PrP (PrP^C) and the pathological isoform (PrP^Sc). Consequently, this method requires intensive pre-treatments to remove PrP^C and retrieve the epitope of PrP^Sc in paraffin sections of the brains … Preberite več >>

Rare Cause of Cushing’s Syndrom

Zemljič Eva, Čokolič Miro

Cushing’s syndrome is the term used to describe clinical symptoms and signs related to an increased concentration of glucocorticoids in the body. Cushing’s syndrome can be divided into two categories: corticotropin-dependent Cushing’s syndrome, in which abnormally high plasma corticotropin levels stimulate the adrenal cortex to produce excessive amounts of glucocorticoids, and corticotropin-independent Cushing’s syndrome, in which excessive production of glucocorticoids … Preberite več >>

Development of Branchial Organs

Petrovič Danijel

The branchial or pharyngeal apparatus is the region extending from the oropharyngeal (buccopharyngeal) membrane to the trachea. This apparatus consists of the branchial (pharyngeal) arches, the pharyngeal pouches, the branchial (pharyngeal) grooves and the branchial membranes. In the 4th and 5th week of the development of the embryo five pharyngeal pouches, four branchial grooves and five branchial arches are seen … Preberite več >>

Fractures of the Distal Radius

Kogovšek Urška, Smrke Dragica

Fractures of the distal end of the radius are the most common fractures in humans. Variants of the type of fracture and associated injuries are numerous, depending on the mechanism of injury, amount of energy absorbed and bone quality. It is commonly accepted that extra-articular anatomy and joint congruency, along with ligamentous integrity, needs to be restored to obtain a … Preberite več >>
