Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the creation of rapid antigen-detection tests (RATs) to provide quick and affordable diagnostics for the disease.
- The study focused on the Humasis COVID-19 Ag Test, evaluating its effectiveness compared to more traditional testing methods (RT-PCR) in patients with recent COVID-19 symptoms.
- Findings indicated that while the RAT was effective overall, younger patients had fewer false negatives, highlighting that the test is particularly beneficial in settings with limited access to more complex testing methods.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the presence of Tahyna orthobunyavirus (TAHV) in Croatian patients with neuroinvasive disease (NID) by examining cerebrospinal fluid and urine samples over five transmission seasons from 2017 to 2021.
- - No TAHV RNA was found in the tested samples, but TAHV-neutralizing antibodies were detected in 10.1% of patients, with a notable increase in seropositivity correlated with age.
- - Findings indicate TAHV's presence in Croatia, particularly among individuals living in floodplain areas, though further research is needed to understand its prevalence and clinical implications.
What are the ideal screw lengths in volar locking plate fixation for distal radius fractures?
Bratisl Lek Listy
November 2019
Purpose: This study aimed to specify the optimal lengths of the distal locking screws (in a female population undergoing distal radius fracture fixation with a volar locking plate) to avoid damaging the dorsal extensor tendon compartments while preserving stability.
Methods: Twenty-five female adult patients underwent volar locking plate fixation with four 2.4 mm locking screws inserted distally.
The role of the Hedgehog signaling pathway in cancer: A comprehensive review.
Bosn J Basic Med Sci
February 2018
The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway was first identified in the common fruit fly. It is a highly conserved evolutionary pathway of signal transmission from the cell membrane to the nucleus. The Hh signaling pathway plays an important role in the embryonic development.

This is a unique idea and unique project transformed into clinical practice, which is promising to assist in laparoscopic training and inclusion of surgeon / endoscopist to "skilfulness" group on the evaluation of the effectiveness of movements of his hands (Tab. 2, Ref.

These determinations were performed in 189 cycles in the controls and in 257 cycles in the athetosic subjects. For each cycle, ventilation and frequency reported to one minute were reckoned, and the relation was established between the duration of expiration and inspiration and between the time necessary for the output to reach its maximal level and the phase duration.
