The Role of Modifying Risk Factors as Well as Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference and Hip to Waist Ratio as Anthropometric Indicators and Parameters of Obesity in the Occurence of Stroke.

Background: Evaluated values of body mass index (BMI), waist circumeference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) increase the risk of stroke, but the extent to which this is mediated by hypertension, diabetes, lipid status, smoking and alcohol consumption is not fully understood.

Objective: The aim of this research is to examine the influence of modifying and non-modifying factors as well as obesity defined through BMI, WC and WHR on the occurrence of stroke.

Methods: A total of 440 subjects were included in the cohort divided in to two groups.

The correlation between nutritional status and diet quality with acute respiratory infections in preschool children aged 5 to 7 years.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between nutritional status (NS) and diet quality (DQ) with the frequency of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in children aged 5 to 7 years.

Methods: Data were obtained through questionnaires. Anthropometric measurement, correlations between body mass index (BMI) and DQ with frequency of ARIs were analysed.

Position and frequency of lateral canals in carnassial teeth of dogs.

Carnassial teeth, as one of the most important teeth in dogs, are commonly affected by different types of injuries and pathological disorders, which require endodontic treatment. Lateral canals, which leave the main root canal, and apical deltas are present in the root canal system of dogs. These canals represent small branches that leave the main root canal at a sharp angle and terminate in a region of the periodontal ligament on the external root surface.

Comparative Morphology of the Carnassial Teeth Root Canals in Mixed-Breed Dogs and German Shepherds.

Root canal treatment of carnassial teeth in dogs is a common endodontic technique which aims to re-establish or maintain the health of the periapical tissues. In total, 43 dogs were used in this study. Root canal morphology was evaluated in 86 superior fourth premolars and 86 inferior first molars.

Intraocular Pressure Measurements Referring to the Corneal Thickness in Keratoconic Eyes After Corneal Crosslinking with Riboflavin and Ultraviolet A.

Aim: To determine the possible relation between intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal resistance (CR) in kerotoconic eyes before, 3,6 and 12 months after collagen crosslinking procedure (CXL) with aim to find out does the thicker cornea means already more resistance cornea followed with higher IOP.

Methods: Thirty eyes (30 patients) with central keratoconus (KC)were evaluated in retrospective cross sectional study. The corneal biomechanical parameters were taken with Wave Light Allegro Oculyzer produced by Alcon before the CXL, 3, 6 and 12 months after the procedure.
