Ann Diagn Pathol

December 2012

Department of Pathology and Cytology, Clinical Hospital, Sveti Duh, and Department of Medical Biochemistry and Hematology, Zagreb University Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia.

In this report, we describe a case of a patient with prostate cancer and multiple myeloma as the second metachronous malignant disease. To our knowledge, synchronous occurrence of bone marrow prostate cancer metastases and multiple myeloma-as it was found in the clinical disease course of our patient-has not been documented in the literature. Among other diagnostic procedures, cytomorphology and immunocytochemistry analyses contribute to detection of metastases of epithelial cells and synchronous plasma cell proliferation in bone marrow.

Croat Med J

April 2001

Dubravka Juretic, Division of Medical Biochemistry and Hematology, Zagreb University Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, A. Kovacica 1, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia.

Aim: To determine whether paraoxonase activity, paraoxonase phenotypes, and lipid status are altered in uremic patients on long-term hemodialysis treatment as compared to healthy population.

Methods: Patients (n = 69) and control subjects (n = 145) were from the area of Slavonski Brod, Croatia. Paraoxon was used as a substrate for measuring basal or sodium chloride-stimulated (NaCl-stimulated) paraoxonase activity, and phenylacetate for measuring arylesterase activity.
