The importance of this element is reflected in the fact that it is the fourth most abundant cation in the human body, participating as a cofactor in more than three hundred enzymatic reactions. Its presence is necessary for the proper functioning of a number of vital functions, such as glycaemic control, the work of the heart and the vascular system and it can potentially play a role in the regulation of body weight. Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of subchronic intake of magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich water on changes in body weight, organ weight and cardiovascular variables in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Methods: Wistar rats (n = 28) were divided into 4 groups: two control groups, on tap water (TW-C, n = 7) and magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich water (MW-C, n = 7); and two experimental groups with streptozotocin-induced diabetes, on tap water (TW-DM, n = 7) and magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich water (MW-DM, n = 7). The values of body weight, organ weight and cardiovascular parameters were compared after 6 weeks between control groups of rats on subchronic treatment with tap water (TW-C) and magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich water (MW-C) and between groups with streptozotocin-induced diabetes on tap water (TW-DM) and with magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich water (MW-DM). Results: By comparing the values of cardiovascular parameters between groups, significant (p < 0.05) positive effects of magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich water were registered on the values of systolic and pulse blood pressure in diabetic rats fed with magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich water (MW-DM) compared to those fed with tap water (TW-DM). In contrast, no significant effect of magnesium hydrocarbonate on changes in body weight and organ weight was observed. Conclusion: Based on the results, the beneficial effects of magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich water in the regulation of blood pressure can be clearly observed. Potential effects on other cardiovascular variables and body weight and organ weight should be further investigated.","PeriodicalId":33497,"journal":{"name":"Scripta Medica","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85972119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The courage to stay in the turbulent Balkans and maintain successful communication with colleagues from abroad deserves respect and admiration. One German and one Serb, professors Arnold Holste and Radivoje Pavlović, the latter with severely impaired sight, did an extraordinary job. They established a distinct pharmacological school, equipped research labs and provided their students with generous support despite the adverse circumstances (two world wars and persistent economic crisis, above all).

It was proclaimed as pandemic starting from March 2020 and is still ongoing. COVID-19 pandemic forced all segments of the society, particularly the health sector, to function in changed and aggravating circumstances and because of the transmission and new strains of the virus it resulted in the change of the number of infected people with peaks and oscillations. Aim of this study was to make analysis of the data related to COVID-19 positive/suspect patients examined in the Primary Healthcare Centre Banja Luka in the period 15 March 2020 - 15 March 2021, which refers to the incidence of the infected persons, sex and age representation, laboratory diagnostics and clinical parameters, applied therapy, as well as the number of patients sent for the hospital treatment. Methods: Data for the analysis were obtained by the retrospective analysis of the statistical data from the electronic medical record of the examined COVID-19 positive/suspect patients in the Outpatient Clinic for Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) and in the field. Pearson's ch2 test of contingency was used for the comparison of differences of the observed characteristics of the examined groups. Results: Personnel of the Emergency Department (ED) of the Primary Healthcare Centre Banja Luka, in the period 15 March 2020 - 15 March 2021, examined the total of 3,937 COVID-19 positive patients and patients suspect of COVID-19. Out of that number, 3,601 patients were examined in the ED - ARI and 336 patients were examined in the field. The biggest number of patients was registered in November 2020 (768). Male sex prevailed (55.50 %) and patients of 20-50 years of age were most represented. There were 3.10 % of those highly febrile patients and 2.5 % of those with low SpO2 of under 90 %. 14.90 % of patients had higher values of troponin T and 45.50 % of them had higher values of D-dimer. In the field, 69.60 % of patients had pathological changes on lungs and 33.30 % had pathological ECG report. The number of patients sent from the ARI for further diagnostic procedure or hospitalisation to the Clinic for Infectious Diseases of the University Clinical Centre of Banja Luka was 1,191 and 258 patients were sent from the field. Conclusion: For the purpose of preventing the spread of epidemics, the ED reorganised the existing space by introducing temporary clinics - containers for the patients with acute respiratory infections and febrile status, COVID-19 suspects. Clinical parameters changed depending on the new virus strains, as well as on age distribution and infection complications.","PeriodicalId":33497,"journal":{"name":"Scripta Medica","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91210023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to the use of the isokinetic dynamometer for diagnostic purposes, its possible therapeutic effect is also important, ie targeted correction of the measured muscle deficit. This work was aimed to examine the level of quadriceps strength and endurance recovery 6 months after the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in patients who performed isokinetic training and to determine whether it is a superior therapeutic intervention compared to isodynamic training. Methods: A total of 70 patients of both sexes were monitored in a prospective clinical study. Three months postoperatively, all patients had quadriceps torque measured to body weight on an isokinetic dynamometer at angular speeds of 60 and 180 °/s. Patients were divided into two groups according to the type of applied rehabilitation protocol. Group A patients (n = 35) underwent a rehabilitation program 5 times a week using an individual kinesitherapy program (isometric and isotonic exercises for quadriceps and hamstrings) and neuromuscular electrostimulation of the quadriceps. In addition patients from group B (n = 35) were included in targeted isokinetic exercises for the quadriceps. Control isokinetic testing was performed 6 months after surgery. The comparison of the effect of the applied therapeutic procedures in groups A and B was performed with the Student t-test (p < 0.05). Results: An average age of patients was 27.29 ± 5.94 years. In patients in group B, statistically significantly higher values of the peak torque to body weight were measured at angular velocities of 60 and 180 °/s for the quadriceps of the operated knee 6 months after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with hamstring tendons (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Isokinetic training achieved significantly better quadriceps strength and endurance in patients 6 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendons compared to dynamic exercises.","PeriodicalId":33497,"journal":{"name":"Scripta Medica","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90905494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discussion is focused to underscore PLC in different experimental models of cardiac hypertrophy, as well as in isolated adult and neonatal cardiomyocytes treated with NE. Particular emphasis is laid concerning the a1 -AR-PLC-mediated hypertrophic signalling pathway. From the information provided, it is evident that the specific activation of PLC isozymes is a primary signalling event in the a1 -AR mediated response to NE as well as initiation and progression of cardiac hypertrophy. Furthermore, the possibility of PLC involvement in the perpetuation of cardiac hypertrophy is also described. It is suggested that specific PLC isozymes may serve as viable targets for the prevention of cardiac hypertrophy in patient population at-risk for the development of heart failure.","PeriodicalId":33497,"journal":{"name":"Scripta Medica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91368003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modulation of numerous cardiovascular pathophysiological processes is a potential goal for anti-diabetic therapy. Magnesium supplementation prevents subclinical tissue magnesium deficiency, thus delaying the onset of metabolic imbalance in diabetes, but long-term effects of magnesium supplementation in chronic diabetes and numerous pathophysiological processes remain unknown. Aim of this study was to determine the effects of subchronic intake of magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich mineral water on cardiometabolic markers and electrolytes in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Methods: A total of 28 Wistar, male rats, body weight 160 g at start, were divided into four groups of 7 each: two controls, group that drank tap water and received a single ip injection of saline (0.9 % NaCl) (TW-C), group that drank mineral water rich in magnesium hydrocarbonate and received a single ip injection of saline (0.9 % NaCl) (MW-C); and two experimental groups with streptozotocin-induced diabetes, group that drank tap water and received a single ip injection of streptozotocin (100 mg/kg) in saline (0.9 % NaCl, 1 mL) (TW-DM), group that drank mineral water rich in magnesium hydrocarbonate and received a single ip injection of streptozotocin (100 mg/kg) in saline (0.9 % NaCl, 1 mL) (MW-DM). Results: Regarding the biochemical parameters, a decrease was observed in the MW-C group for vitamin B12 and proteins, while triglycerides were higher compared to the TW-C group. By comparing the haemostatic biomarkers between TW-C and MW-C groups, a statistically significant decrease was found for fibrinogen, while the electrolyte analysis showed an increase in phosphates for the MW-C group. Biochemical value comparison between TW-DM and MWDM groups showed that magnesium hydrocarbonate usage in diabetic rats did not significantly reduce glycaemia although the average glycaemic values were lower in the group treated with magnesium hydrocarbonate. Regarding the electrolyte values, a statistically significant decrease was observed for sodium, potassium and phosphate in the MW-DM group. The MW-DM group also showed a significant increase in iron value compared to TW-DM group. Conclusion: Subchronic intake of magnesium hydrocarbonate-rich mineral water, as a form of magnesium supplementation, did not cause a significant improvement in glycaemia or normalisation of diabetes-induced dyslipidaemia. This study showed the reduction of fibrinogen value, thus indicating the possibility of usage of this form of magnesium supplementation in different pro-thrombogenic conditions.","PeriodicalId":33497,"journal":{"name":"Scripta Medica","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82346271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, natriuretic peptides are dominant predictors of death, heart failure and additional myocardial infarctions. The aim of this study was to correlate prognostic markers of heart failure following acute myocardial infarction. Methods: 193 patients with myocardial infarction were divided into two groups: 69 patients with NT-proBNP ≤ 1000 pg/mL and 124 patients with NT-proBNP > 1000 pg/mL. During the hospitalisation, laboratory data, clinical data and information on previous medications were collected. Echocardiography was used to identify left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). All statistical analysis were done in SPSS, version 23. Results: The group with elevated NT-proBNP (> 1000 pg/mL) was older (p < 0.001) and suffered more often of arterial hypertension (p = 0.04) and atrial fibrillation (p = 0.003). Heart rate was higher and LVEF was lower in patients with elevated NT-proBNP values (p < 0.001). Mean LVEF in the 193 patients was 46.86 %. In both linear and binary logistic regression analysis multiple predictors of elevated NT-proBNP have been identified. Conclusion: Increased ranges of NT-proBNP in patients following acute myocardial infarction are in correlation with decreased LVEF, elevated high-sensitive troponin I, lactate dehydrogenase, urea, creatinine, C-reactive peptides.
