: Patients with non-infarct-related artery chronic total occlusion (non-IRA CTO) found during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) are not rare and have worse clinical outcomes. We aimed to analyze their long-term clinical outcomes in regard to clinical characteristics, revascularization strategies, and adherence to medical therapy. : The dual-center ACS registry of patients treated from Jan 2017 to May 2023 was used to identify 1950 patients with timely PCI in ACS who survived to discharge with documented adequate demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics, treatment strategies, and medical therapy adherence during a median follow-up time of 49 months.

In the myocardium of control subjects and patients undergoing heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device implantation (LVAD), we analyzed concentrations of Al, As, Cd, Pb, and Ni using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Myocardial generation of oxidative-stress-induced lipid peroxidation was analyzed by quantifying concentration of 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) with ELISA and pro-apoptotic DAPK2 gene expression was determined with quantitative RT-PCR. Compared to six control hearts, myocardial samples of 128 individuals undergoing heart transplantation or LVAD implantation exhibited a moderate increase in deposition of five tested non-essential elements, which was significantly increased only for Cd and cumulative deposition of Al, As, Cd, and Pb.

Background: Universities are increasingly offering training in research integrity (RI) to enhance research quality and foster RI. Despite the importance of integrating scientific virtues into such training, there is a lack of assessment of virtue ethics-based RI training.
Methods: This was a randomised controlled study assessing the impact of a virtue-based training for RI, performed at the University of Split School of Medicine in 2020-2021.

Background And Aims: In the past few years, some reports have shown that serum chloride concentration is a more powerful prognostic predictor than serum sodium levels in heart failure (HF). Elevated Na/Cl ratio has shown to be independently associated with all-cause death in acute HF. We evaluated changes in serum chloride concentrations and Na/Cl ratio in correlation with various clinical factors during 12 months of follow-up in patients in whom SGLT2is were initiated as part of HF therapy.

Background: Advanced imaging techniques play a pivotal role in oncology. A large variety of computed tomography (CT) scanners, scan protocols, and acquisition techniques have led to a wide range in image quality and radiation exposure. This study aims at implementing verifiable oncological imaging by quality assurance and optimization (i-Violin) through harmonizing image quality and radiation dose across Europe.

Odontogenic abscesses are a common cause of emergency visits to oral and maxillofacial surgery departments and can lead to life-threatening complications if they are not recognized and treated promptly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI) in comparison to other systemic inflammatory indices, including the Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII), the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), the Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and the Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio (LMR), in predicting the severity of odontogenic abscesses. This retrospective study included 221 patients hospitalized for odontogenic abscesses at Dubrava University Hospital between January 2019 and December 2023.

This study was designed to examine the association between myocardial concentrations of the trace elements Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, and Zn and the expression of mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) elements and the age of patients who received heart transplantation or a left-ventricular assist device (ageHTx/LVAD). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to determine the concentration of Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, and Zn in the myocardium of control subjects and patients undergoing heart transplantation or left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. We used ELISA to quantify the expression of UPRmt proteins and 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), which served as a marker of oxidative-stress-induced lipid peroxidation.

The aim of this study is to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the Croatian Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (APSQ-Cro) as part of the Sport Mental Health Assessment Tool 1 (SMHAT-1) validation. We assessed the reliability and applicability of the APSQ-Cro among Croatian athletes. The international sports community is increasingly focused on mental health issues in athletes, highlighting the need for early detection tools like the Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (APSQ) and SMHAT-1.

Previous research on connection between the ABO blood group and bladder cancer has been based on determining the ABO phenotype. This specific research is extended to the molecular level, providing more information about particular ABO alleles. To investigate the impact of the ABO blood group genotype or phenotype as a risk factor for urinary bladder cancer.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning algorithm capable of diagnosing radicular cysts in the lower jaw on panoramic radiographs.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of 138 radicular cysts and 100 normal panoramic radiographs collected from 2013 to 2023 at Clinical Hospital Dubrava. The images were annotated by a team comprising a radiologist and a maxillofacial surgeon, utilizing the GNU Image Manipulation Program.
