Isoflavone Composition, Total Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Capacity of Soybeans with Colored Seed Coat.

The influence of soybean seed coat color and genotype on antioxidant capacity, phenolic content and isoflavone profile was investigated. Isoflavone content and compositiontof 21 seed samples - yellow, green, brown, black and rarely mentioned ocher and reddish, were determined by high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis Antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content (TPC) were evaluated spectrophotometrically. Significant correlation between total isoflavone content and total genisteins was established in all colored groups.

Ocular findings in patient with primary familial pulmonary hypertension.

Exudative retinal detachment as subretinal fluid accumulation occurs due to chorioretinal eye disease (inflammation, infection, tumor, vascular abnormalities) and in systemic diseases too. The aim of this case report was to emphasize connection between the ophthalmological pathology and other systemic conditions. This is a case report of a 45-year old woman who suffered from pulmonary hypertension caused by many recurrent thromboembolic events.

Autologous blood transfusion in total knee replacement surgery.

Background/aim: Total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is one of the most frequent and the most extensive procedures in orthopedic surgery, accompanied with some serious complications. Perioperative blood loss is one of the most serious losses, so it is vital to recognize and treat such losses properly. Autologous blood transfusion is the only true alternative for the allogeneic blood.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy-retinal "white dot syndrome".

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy- APMPPE is an acquired idiopathic inflammatory disease of the chorioretina. This case report presents a typical clinical manifestation of a very rare condition: a twenty ive-year old female complained of a sudden bilateral decrease of vision. She reported lu-like symptoms and taking antibiotics therapy.

Blunt trauma of the thoracic aortic isthmus.

Blunt trauma of the thoracic aorta is the second leading cause of death in traffic accidents, after head injuries. A polytraumatized patient, aged 40, was admitted, with trauma of the thoracic aortic isthmus, after a traffic accident. Adequate resuscitation and intensive therapy, angiographic and MSCT diagnostics enabled the urgent surgical treatment.

Preoperative evaluation in the era of laparoscopic surgery.

To confirm the importance of preoperative evaluation of a patient's health state, to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality after laparoscopic surgery. A total number of 1,070 patients were selected into groups based on a type of intervention, gender, ASA and NYHA classification. The most common laparoscopic procedure that was performed was cholecystectomy in 920 (86%) patients.

A surgical thread as a nidus for the common bile duct stone formation.

A 68-year old patient, who had had cholecistectomy when he was 30 years old and had been hospitalized in several occasions, with clinical presentation of recidivant cholangitis was admitted to county hospital. Computed tomography was performed, where a bile duct dilatation was noted, with suspected 12 mm concrement. After that the patient was referred to the hospital in order to undergo therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Preoperative preparation of patients with pituitary gland disorders.

This paper presents the most common disorders of pituitary function: acromegaly, hypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus and syndrome similar to diabetes insipidus, in terms of their importance in preoperative preparation of patients. Pituitary function manages almost the entire endocrine system using the negative feedback mechanism that is impaired by these diseases. The cause of acromegaly is a pituitary adenoma, which produces growth hormone in adults.

Preoperative assessment and preparation of patients with diseases affecting the central nervous system.

Purpose Of Review: This review will examine the most important issues of preoperative evaluation and preparation in relation to patients with deseases affecting the central nervous system. Those patients may undergo various forms of surgery unrelated to the central nervous system disease. We discuss the effect of physiologic and pharmacological factors on cerebral autoregulation and control of intracranial pressure alongside its clinical relevance with the help of new evidence.

Intraoperative air testing of colorectal anastomoses.

Introduction: Intraoperative anastomotic air testing of stapled colorectal anastomosis is performed by filling the pelvis with saline solution and insufflating the rectum with air through a sigmoidoscope. The presence of air bubbles indicates anastomotic leaks which are resolved during surgery.

Objective: The aim of this prospective, randomized study was to perform a comparative analysis regarding the number of anastomotic dehiscences in patients checked by air leak testing and in the control group without air testing.

[Out-of-hospital treatment in case of drowning].

Introduction: Drowning is a leading preventable cause of unintentional morbidity and mortality. The dominant pathophysiological mechanism of drowning includes the development of acute hypoxia.
