Supporting data entry by clinicians is considered one of the greatest challenges in implementing electronic health records. In this paper we describe a formative evaluation study using three different methodologies through which we identified obstacles to point-of-care data entry for eye care and then used the formativ…

We would like to add to the "mysteriousness", our observations from the application of "identical" BP6 cells either intraperitoneally or subcutaneously. In connection with the concept that tumor development is not only a portrayal of cells proliferation, we could presume that different "environment" will result in stru…

Librarians at the National Library of Medicine tag each biomedical abstract to be indexed by their Pubmed information system with terms from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terminology. The MeSH terminology has over 26,000 terms and indexers look at each article's full text to assign a set of most suitable terms fo…

The authors have gained their experience in psychostereotactic operations during the past 50 years. The operations were indicated in psychiatric patients on the basis of their clinical pictures. The results gained in operations of the hypothalamus, limbic system and neocortical structures of the brain were logically an…

The tumor formation may be the earliest manifestation preceeding other symptoms, signs and bone marrow evidence of systemic malignancy - leukemia/lymphoma. Here we present three cases of systemic malignancy in which bone lesions were the first manifested signs of the disease. All three cases were thought to be orthoped…

BACKGROUND: Google Scholar linked more visitors to biomedical journal Web sites than did PubMed after the database's initial release; however, its usefulness in locating primary literature articles is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To assess in both databases the availability of primary literature target articles; total number o…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation compared with the radiofrequency (RF) method in the treatment of typical atrial flutter (AFL). METHODS: 12 patients with typical counterclockwise AFL underwent cryoablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus. Cryoablation was performed with a 9F catheter with a…

Text4baby (T4b), a free nation-wide mobile health information service, delivers health-related text messages (SMS) to pregnant women. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of physical activity (PA) specific SMS to improve PA in pregnant women (vs standard T4b) and the most effective dose/timing…

AIMS: To identify the share of open access (OA) papers in the total number of journal publications authored by the members of the University of Zagreb School of Medicine (UZSM) in 2014. METHODS: Bibliographic data on 543 UZSM papers published in 2014 were collected using PubMed advanced search strategies and manual da…

Gambling harm prevention messages are catching up with best practices from tobacco: Australia has implemented seven independently-designed messages, and the UK is due to make a similar change to replace industry-designed slogans. Three of the seven Australian messages are "self-appraisal" messages, such as "What's gamb…

BACKGROUND: Formal, structured annual appraisals are now a regulatory requirement for all doctors and must meet the standards stipulated by the General Medical Council (GMC), including connection with a designated body. AIMS: To investigate occupational physicians' opinions and experience of the first year of appraisa…

Cystic dilatation is a rare disease of extra- or intra-hepatic bile ducts. According to the literature it is an disorder accompanying other diseases rather than an independent diagnosis. In the case of smaller dimensions it is often found by coincidence because of its asymptomatic course of development. Mostly it manif…

During routine anatomy dissection classes for undergraduate medical students, an unilateral case of superficial ulnar artery (SUA) in a 75-year-old male human cadaver arosing from the third part of the right axillary artery at the junction of the two median nerve roots was observed. In the hand, the SUA coursed over th…

Liposarcoma is a malignancy of fat cells that occurs in deep soft tissue and mostly seen in limbs and retroperitoneum. It is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the retroperitoneum. It is detected at very late stages especially when the tumor gains substantial size, weight of several pounds at the time of diagnosis be…

Neurocysticercosis (cysticercosis cerebri) is a rare neurological diagnosis in Croatia. It is classically divided into four types: intraparenchymal, basilar cisternal, ventricular and diffuse. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) established the diagnosis by demonstrating cysticercosis diss…

In this study, authors present a case report of a 10 months old patient with burn injuries involving 20.5 % body surface area, grades 2a and 2b. According to the continuous monitoring of hemodynamic parameters by PiCCO (Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany), fluid therapy was successfully managed. Despite of an inc…

This article presents a novel wideband (WB) tilted-beam end-fire planar antenna for microwave and millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications. The antenna comprises of a microstrip fed double semi-circular rings over a curvilinear slotted ground plane. It is impedance matched over a broad frequency range from 11.5 to 62.5&#x…

Individual processive molecular motors, of which conventional kinesin is the most studied quantitatively, move along polar molecular tracks and, by exerting a force F = (F(x),F(y),F(z)) on a tether, drag cellular cargoes, in vivo, or spherical beads, in vitro, taking up to hundreds of nanometre-scale steps. From observ…

This article brings the biomechanical analysis of sport--Nordic walking--for patients with osteoporotic fractured vertebrae and shows that it is suitable for them. Based on the biomechanical model of skeletal load we have developed a method of walking movement for patients, different from the method of walking movement…

CONTEXT: Independent validation of published scientific results through study replication is a pre-condition for accepting the validity of such results. In computation research, full replication is often unrealistic for independent results validation, therefore, study reproduction has been justified as the minimum acce…
