In the present study the effects of either H1 antagonist chloropyramine or H2 antagonist famotidine were investigated in isolated Langendorff's rat hearts. Ischemia lasted 60 minutes. Perfusion with either 10…

Malignant melanoma is a highly malignant tumor, and its response to treatment is poor. Its incidence is on an increase world-wide. Amplified surface microscopy is a new non-invasive diagnostic method…

Atherosclerosis is a slowly progressing degenerative disease of the arterial wall. Several risk factors, including cigarette smoking, precipitate its development. The purpose of the study was to investigate atherosclerotic morphologic…

Violence is becoming increasingly present in modern society. Its consequences are manifested in a large number of injuries and premature deaths and thus violence is becoming a great problem for…

Distinguishing between motor and sensory fascicles is essential to successful peripheral nerve reconstruction. Acetyltiocholine staining methods based on the Karnovsky procedure have been increasingly used for the purpose. Our aim…

The purpose of this study was to determine some geometrical parameters of the human hip and pelvis which importantly influence the articular stress in the hip joint. Standard anterior-posterior radiographs…

In the present study the effects of either H1 antagonist chloropyramine or H2 antagonist famotidine were investigated in isolated Langendorff's rat hearts. Ischemia lasted 60 minutes. Perfusion with either 10…

We set out to introduce serum markers into the diagnosis of coeliac disease as a substitute or supplement to small intestinal mucosa biopsy. At the Paediatrics Department of the Maribor…

Diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was, first, to determine whether young patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus display atherosclerotic changes at the…

Experiments on animals have demonstrated that during the initial 24 hours of tick attachment, the likelihood of transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, from an infected…

Arterial hypertension is one of the major risk factor predisposing to atherosclerosis. Since elevated blood pressure is part of endocrine metabolic syndrome, hypertensive patients have many other risk factors predisposing…

We examined the firing characteristics of single motor units in response to noninvasive magnetic brain stimulation in 17 patients with stroke in order to assess differences in motor unit responses…

The aim of this study was to find out whether changes in the QTc interval duration in patients with acute myocardial infarction are related to the effectiveness of thrombolytic therapy.…

Postdural puncture headache is the most common complication of subarachnoid regional anesthesia. The incidence of postdural puncture headache is influenced by sex and age of the patient, by the size…

The authors transplanted Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells to 90 inbred mice of CBA strain in order to investigate the role that sex of animal and dose of tumor cells…

Transcranial magnetic motor cortex stimulation (MS) was standardized by measuring the central motor latency (CML) of the abductor digiti minimi (AM) and tibialis anterior (TA) in 18 healthy subjects. Normal…

Liposomes are lipid vesicles used in research and therapy. In the present study, liposomes were fractionated by gel chromatography and their characteristics were determined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). From…

Lyme borreliosis is endemic in Slovenia. Its incidence has been on the increase over the past decade, and is among the highest in Europe. Erythema migrans is the clinical hallmark…

Unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) sig­nify a critical moment of coronary artery disease. The choice of appropriate therapy depends on the estimated risk of adverse…

Carcinoids are neuroendocrine tumors. They produce physiologically active substances which can cause carcinoid syndrome and carcinoid heart disease at higher concentrations. The char­acteristic changes seen in carcinoid heart disease are…

Parkinson's disease is a slowly progressive, degenerative disorder of the substantia nigra of unknown etiology. The main pathomorphological finding in Parkinson's disease is the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the…

Induced hypothermia after primary cardiac arrest (PCA) reduces post-ischemic reperfusion brain damage. At the Center for Intensive Internal Medicine (CIIM) of the LjubljanaMedicalCenter, it has been in routine use since…

BACKGROUND. The purpose of orthodontic diagnosis and classification systems is to record different dental and arch anomalies (malocclusions). The modified Angle's method of clas­sifying malocclusion is still the most widely…

The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between various clinical parameters, including the probing depth, the papilla bleeding index and bacterial composition of the subgingival flora of…
