Chest x-ray resolution after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Aim To analyse the resolution of chest X-ray findings in relation to laboratory parameters in patients infected with acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a two- month followup. Analysis of chest X-ray findings in the first few months after the disease is the main goal of our work. Methods Out of the total of 343 patients chest X-ray findings were followed in 269 patients.

Successful pregnancy outcome in two sisters with cerebral palsy and phocomelia: a case report and literature review.

Background: Little is known about pregnancy rates and outcome in women with motoric disabilities like cerebral palsy (CP) and even less in phocomelia.

Objective: To show complications and psychosocial issues in relation to pregnancy burdened by impaired mobility in CP and phocomelia.

Case Report: We present an overview of the pregnancy outcome in two cases of sisters with cerebral palsy and phocomelia.

Correlation between cervical infection and preterm labor.

Aim To investigate a correlation between cervical canal infection and imminent preterm labor and to identify most frequent pathogens. Methods A prospective study was conducted in obstetrics/gynecology departments of Health Center and the University Clinical Center Tuzla, and General Hospital Tešanj (Bosnia and Herzegovina, B&H) between October 2013 and May 2014. An examined group included 50 healthy pregnant women with singleton pregnancy of the gestation age between the 28th and 37th week, with cervical changes that are related to imminent preterm labor.

Autologous bone-marrow-derived-mononuclear-cells-enriched fat transplantation in breast augmentation: evaluation of clinical outcomes and aesthetic results in a 30-year-old female.

Autologous fat transfer (lipofilling) is becoming an invaluable tool for breast augmentation as well as for breast reconstruction. Autologous lipofilling has several advantages, including biocompatibility, versatility, natural appearance, and low donor site morbidity. The main limitation is unpredictable fat graft resorption, which ranges from 25% to 80%, probably as a result of ischaemia and lack of neoangiogenesis.

Autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells combined with β-TCP for maxillary bone augmentation in implantation procedures.

Replacing missing bone or adding mass to existing bone is often essential to the success of a dental implant. A large variety of graft materials have been used for maxillary and mandibular atrophy. To date, there has been no graft material which can be regarded as completely satisfactory.

Autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells combined with β-tricalcium phosphate and absorbable atelocollagen for a treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst of the humerus in child.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign, locally destructive lesion of bone. Based on progressive cortical thinning pathological fractures are common, and are often the presenting feature. Despite the long experience of orthopaedists, radiologists and pathologists with aneurysmal bone cyst there is limited knowledge regarding the cause of the lesion and optimal treatment.

Postoperative pain in open vs. laparoscopic cholecystectomy with and without local application of anaesthetic.

Aim: To evaluate the intensity of postoperative pain and benefits of laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared to open cholecystectomy especially after anaesthetic infiltration of surgical incision.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included three groups of 30 patients each, who had undergone surgical treatment by an open procedure, by laparoscopic technique and by laparoscopic technique with local anaesthetic application. All patients were of similar age, sex and ASA risk (American Society of Anaesthesiologists).

Advanced and prospective technologies for potential use in craniofacial tissues regeneration by stem cells and growth factors.

The processes of craniofacial tissues development and regeneration are largely dependent on sequential and reciprocal interactions between mesenchymal and epithelial components. These processes involve a series of inductive and permissive interactions that result in the determination, differentiation, and organization of craniofacial tissues. Stem cells and growth factors represent a very interesting research field for craniofacial tissues regeneration.
