Clinical approach to children with knee overuse syndromes
Authors: Dučić Siniša , Milanović Filip , Bukva Bojan , Đuričić Goran , Nikolić Dejan
Published: January 2024

Sports activities among adolescent athletes both increase the level of physical activity and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders due to repetitive biomechanical stress and overloading. There are several overuse conditions in young athletes described in the literature, while the knee joint is most usually affected. Knee overuse syndromes are one of the most common problems in childhood and adolescence encountered in everyday clinical practice and they arise as a result of repetitive microtrauma. The clinical approach to children with an overuse syndrome is different than in adults, according to different injury patterns and the fact that skeletal maturity is yet not complete in children. Conditions that are known to be the most usual cause of knee overuse symptomatology, such as Osgood-Schlatter disease, Sinding-Larssen-Johansson disease, patellar chondromalacia, and osteochondritis dissecans are usually treated conservatively, while surgical treatment is required only in the case of failed conservative treatment.
Diabetic foot and surgical treatment
Authors: Vučetić Čedomir
Published: January 2024

Diabetic foot (DF) is a complication resulting from long-term, inadequately treated diabetes mellitus (DM). The foundation of diabetic foot lies in the presence of chronic complications on the foot associated with DM. Significant challenges in addressing the complex issue of DF pose a challenge to better understanding and optimizing DF treatment. Diabetes leads to a reduction in blood flow in arterial blood vessels, resulting in decreased perfusion to all tissues. This leads to reduced vitality and functionality of all tissues, particularly noticeable in the feet, which are the most distal parts of the body exposed to load. Changes in DF manifest with diverse clinical presentations, ranging from local to systemic, and vary in extent from subtle and barely noticeable to gangrene. Diagnosis is generally straightforward and based on medical history, clinical presentation, laboratory testing, and radiography. Treatment can be preventive, primarily through patient education about possible diabetes complications and lifestyle changes. Treatment for existing foot changes is based on foot offloading, medications, and surgical intervention in cases of significant complications, deformities, necrosis, and infection. Surgical treatment can be preventive and reconstructive. Preventive surgical treatment involves establishing better anatomical relationships to evenly distribute pressure on soft tissues. Reconstructive surgical treatment encompasses all procedures and surgical techniques aimed at preserving anatomical integrity, function, and reducing disability. A multidisciplinary approach to addressing the complex issue of DF yields the best results and significantly reduces mortality and the need for radical surgical interventions such as below-knee and above-knee amputations. Timely intervention with appropriate medication and surgical therapy, along with continuous monitoring, is essential to avoid additional complications, shorten treatment duration, and reduce the extent and radical nature of surgical procedures.
Forty years of cyclosporine in clinical practice
Authors: Naumović Radomir
Published: January 2024

Cyclosporine (CsA) was discovered in the lab of Sandoz in Switzerland in 1972. while searching for an antifungal drug. However, it quickly became an irreplaceable immunosuppressive drug for renal and other solid organ transplantation. It has been found, in the initial experiments, that CsA inhibits both in vitro cell-mediated lysis and lymphocyte sensitization by allogeneic target cells. Clinical trials have demonstrated better one-year graft survival after cadaveric renal transplants when receiving CsA instead of azathioprine. Although improvement has been observed in the rates of one-year renal graft survival and acute rejection, but long-term graft survival rate did not improve. This can be attributed to the nephrotoxic effects of the CsA. This issue is a consequence of hemodynamic effects on renal blood flow and glomerular filtration, effect on renal tubular function and blood vessels. Along with nephrotoxicity, CsA also causes other adverse effects such as hypertension, gingival hyperplasia, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia, hyperlipidemia, neurotoxicity, and in some cases thrombotic microangiopathies. However, in recent years CsA nephrotoxicity has been looked at from a different angle, where it has been linked to high CsA doses that used to be administered. Following its use in solid organ transplantation, CsA has been found to have an important role in treating systemic connective tissue diseases, as well as its consequences, primary glomerulonephritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and psoriasis. CsA effectiveness in treating above mentioned diseases is still greater than its side effects, which makes it a base of treatment options for numerous diseases.

Published: January 2024

Food allergy is a frequent and continuously growing problem of modern humanity. It is present in all periods of life, most often in the first years after birth, and especially in genetically predisposed infants to artificial feeding. The tendency to an allergic reaction is non-selective, and food allergy is often multiple and to a high degree associated with respiratory and/ or skin hypersensitivity. Due to the antigenic similarity of some types of food, such as legumes and nuts or cow's milk and other animal milk, the allergy can be cross-related. The most common allergens in children, responsible for over 80-90% of nutritional allergies, are proteins from cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, nuts, soy, wheat flour, and foods from water (fish, shellfish, squid, crabs). The disorder is characterized by a very wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Extremely severe systemic reactions, sometimes fatal, are also possible. The diagnosis of food allergy is based on the analysis of personal and family history, a complete physical examination and laboratory and other procedures by the type of reaction and type of manifestations, and treatment on a strict elimination diet. Although nutritional allergy in children is most often transient, to some foods, such as peanuts, nuts, and animal food from water, it is in a high percentage lifelong.

Published: January 2024

The attachment can be directed towards the people (socially based attachment), but also can be based on the physical characteristics of the place or other factors. People in Serbia frequently change place of residence during educational stages or due to important family and life events. It also depends on other factors, such as ethnicity, tradition and environmental concerns. This study aims to re-evaluate the place attachment concept based on the well-established triple person-process-place concept and develop a new place attachment scale and apply. The survey included 1059 respondents. The SPSS was used for EFA relatedness calculations, Independent T-tests, and One-way ANOVA, while R and RStudio were used for CFA analysis. Four groups of factors were identified, leading to the development of a four-dimensional Place Relatedness Scale (4PRS): Family and Home, Social, Community and Everyday Life, Local Environment Bonding, Life Cycle. Certain differences were found between male and female respondents and in regard to other socio-demographic parameters.
Raising of adolescents in the era of reality shows and tabloid journalism: Legal regulations
Authors: Slavković Ana , Slavković Vukan
Published: January 2024

The authors seek to answer why the criminals in media are presented in a way that does not meet the reality, which categories of young people are at the most risk considering the negative impact of these "role models", and how the family and legislation can protect them. Behind the media presentation of the crime world as idyllic are the centres of power, which are in agreement with the owners of the media, with the aim to form insecure personalities, prone to addictions, who looks up to inadequate role models. For the proper development of adolescents, close relationships with parents and peers are necessary. Parents represent a safe haven when peer and other social relations do not go in the desired direction. In contact with peers, adolescents learn new roles, about the world of adults, and find a new type of egalitarian closeness. A close relationship with parents allows the young person to discuss role models from media, positive and negative heroes, values, dilemmas, events in peer relationships, and plans for the future, as well as to convey life experiences from parent to adolescent. On the other hand, legislation is necessary to protect social groups from media exploitation or exposure to media violence.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: The connection between serum uric acid (SUA) and the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases has long been known. Despite the SYNTAX score emerging as useful for risk identification and stratification in the clinical practice of interventional cardiology, it has not been proven useful in cardiac surgical clinical practice. The aim of the paper is to examine the significance of SUA levels, the significance of the SYNTAX score and the Clinical SYNTAX score in predicting the long-term survival of cardiac surgery patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 160 cardiac surgery patients operated on between 2013 and 2014 was conducted. SUA, SYNTAX and clinical SYNTAX score was measured. In the follow-up period of 3 years, clinical outcomes of patients were tracked. Results: The average SYNTAX score was 25.2 ± 11.4, the average Clinical SYNTAX score was 26.9 ± 8.3. The average preoperative SUA level was 361 ± 94.1 mg/ dL. No statistically significant difference was found in the values of the ejection fraction, end-diastolic and end-systolic dimensions of the left ventricle in relation to the treatment outcome in the long-term follow-up (p > 0.05). Preoperative left atrial diameter was significantly higher in deceased patients (p = 0.013). No statistically significant difference was found in the average values of the syntax score in relation to the treatment outcome in the long-term follow-up (p = 0.388), while a statistically significant difference was found in the values of the clinical SYNTAX score (p = 0.029). A statistically significant difference was found in the preoperative values of SUA in relation to the postoperative occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events (p = 0.035). Conclusion: Significant predictors of mortality in the long-term follow-up of cardiac surgery patients were left atrial diameter and clinical SYNTAX score. Predictors of adverse cardiovascular outcomes were left atrial diameter, clinical SYNTAX score and preoperative serum uric acid level.

Published: January 2024

In Serbia, there are about 1200 abandoned oil and gas wells, which have significant potential to produce thermal energy. Abandoned wells, depending on their location and thermal potential, can be used to produce thermal energy or electricity, or for the combined production of electricity and thermal energy. Thermal energy that is produced from abandoned wells is obtained using geothermal energy, so the electrical energy and/or thermal energy that would be obtained using such heat sources are balanced as energy obtained from renewable energy sources. The costs of equipping deep wells and applying the technology that would be used to produce thermal energy and/or electricity represent a far smaller part of the costs compared to the costs of making deep wells, so these abandoned wells represent an already existing significant material resource. The production of thermal energy from abandoned wells, which is based on pressing the working medium into the well, heating it and pushing it to the surface, is less energy intensive since the same well is used for the transfer of hot energy - through the appropriate working medium through tubing (narrow pipe) to the surface, and then the used cooled water is returned to the same well through the intermediate space. The paper presents a methodology for calculating the theoretical thermal potential of abandoned oil and gas wells, which was applied to the example of wells K-1, T-1, S-1 and M-1 located in Serbia, with a depth of 2.000 m, 2.250 m, 1.700 m and 2.102 m. It is shown that the theoretical temperature of the working fluid on the surface of the earth is in the range of 77.59 to 94.46°C.
Comparative analysis of transport efficiency indicators of river-sea ships on the lower Danube sector
Authors: Škiljaica Ivan , Škiljaica Vladimir
Published: January 2024

An important place in the process of increasing the effectiveness of the transportation of cargo by water transport is occupied by direct river-sea transportation between ports located on inland waterways and sea ports. Such transportation can be realized in two ways: 1) without transshipment of cargo in ports at the mouths of rivers into the sea and, 2) with transhipment of cargo from sea vessels to river vessels and vice versa. Increasing the effectiveness of transportation should be based on the introduction of new resources and energy savings, as well as the introduction of advanced technologies in the field of transportation. In order to consider the possible introduction of direct transport technology on the river-sea route for the needs of the Serbian economy, it is necessary to determine the technical, technological and economic parameters by means of which the justification for the application of such a method of transport is determined. This paper approaches, applying the methods of known indicators of exploitation, the determination of the transport properties of several characteristic types of river-sea ships that carry out transport on the waterways of the Russian Federation and which, at the same time, to a certain extent, participate in the transport of cargo on the Danube.

Authors: Vujović Ivan , Koprivica Mladen , Đurišić Željko
Published: January 2024

Usage of electrical energy obtained from renewable sources is rapidly increasing. Distributed solar systems will be widely used. The photovoltaic (PV) systems can be used to produce active and reactive power or to compensate reactive power. This paper proposes a solution for monitoring and management of distributed PV systems from the integrated center. The main parts of the system are a cloud infrastructure at the Data Center and Internet of Things (IoT) devices at distributed sites. Also, networks that are used for communication between main parts are an important piece of the proposed solution. While IoT devices continuously send information about electrical parameters of the system and environmental conditions, the inverter, as a part of the PV system, can be controlled by influencing the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm operation and inverter functionality.

Resistir la crisis climática desde el arte. Hacia una redefinición y tipología del Arte Ambiental tras el giro antropocénico
Authors: Vich Álvarez Juan Alberto , Cuenca Amigo Jaime
Published: January 2024

On many occasions, Environmental Art involves a series of practices of resistance to the hegemonic behaviours that cause profound environmental damage: pollution, global warming, loss of biodiversity, etc. In order to lay down the characteristic principles of this artistic current and to contribute to putting an end to the widespread confusion and ambiguities generated in this respect, the updated meaning of the term will be proposed and a typology will be offered to classify both its pioneering and recent works. To this end, a systematic review of definitions and associated typologies was carried out, in addition to a collection and analysis of artistic works. Finally, a reversal of the traditional model is suggested in order to clarify the objectives and favour the development and success of this artistic trend, which is increasingly present and committed. The materialisation of sustainable claims and alternatives in the works shows and warns of hidden damage; it raises new territories and possible scenarios for an improvement of the climatic situation in the Anthropocene; it makes the conflict visible, allowing the public to become aware of ecological issues; it responds to a climate of discontent, by raising sensitive expressions for criticism and promoting attitudes of resistance.

En muchas ocasiones, el Arte Ambiental conlleva una serie de prácticas de resistencia ante las conductas hegemónicas que originan un profundo perjuicio medioambiental: contaminación, calentamiento global, pérdida de biodiversidad... Con ánimo de asentar los principios característicos de esta corriente artística y de contribuir a acabar con las extendidas confusiones y ambigüedades generadas a su respecto, se propondrá el sentido actualizado de su término y se ofrecerá una tipología que permita clasificar tanto sus obras pioneras como recientes. Para ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática de las definiciones y tipologías asociadas, además de una recolección y análisis de obras artísticas. Por último, se sugiere una inversión del modelo tradicional que permita esclarecer los objetivos y favorecer el desarrollo y éxito de dicha tendencia artística, cada vez más presente y comprometida. La materialización de reclamos y alternativas sostenibles en las obras muestra y advierte daños ocultos; plantea nuevos territorios y escenarios posibles para una mejora de la situación climática en el Antropoceno; visibiliza el conflicto permitiendo la concienciación del público en materia ecológica; atiende a un clima de descontento planteando expresiones sensibles para la crítica y promoviendo actitudes de resistencia.
Effect of two different manual therapy techniques for treatment of forward head posture: A comparative study
Authors: Hassan Shaza S. , Hatem Ameen Fairouz , Draz Amira H. , Abdel Raouf Neveen A.
Published: January 2024

Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is a misalignment of the head on trunk that makes the external moment longer by shifting the gravitational center in front of the load bearing axis causing stress on the suboccipital muscles with functional movement limitations and formation of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Objectives: To compare between suboccipital muscle inhibition technique (SMIT) and progressive pressure release technique (PPRT) on craniovertebral angle (CVA) and neck range of motion (ROM) in individuals with FHP and active suboccipital MTrPs. Methods: Forty-five subjects were randomly assigned in three groups. Group A was given postural correction exercise, group B received SMIT and postural correction exercise, and group C received suboccipital PPRT and postural correction exercise. Results: Statistical significance was found within and between groups in respect to ROM in all directions (P < 0.05) except for right and left side bending between groups A and B, which was P = 0.54 and P = 0.67, respectively. CVA had shown significant results for within and between groups (P < 0.05) except for group A versus group B (P = 0.41). Conclusion: Both techniques work to increase CVA and improve ROM in individuals with FHP. However, suboccipital PPRT has shown to be more effective.

Antecedentes: La postura de la cabeza hacia adelante (FHP, por sus siglas en inglés) es una desalineación de la cabeza sobre el tronco que prolonga el momento externo al desplazar el centro gravitacional frente al eje que soporta la carga, causando estrés en los músculos suboccipitales con limitaciones de movimiento funcional y formación de puntos gatillo miofasciales (PGM). Objetivos: Comparar entre la técnica de inhibición del músculo suboccipital (SMIT) y la técnica de liberación progresiva de presión (PPRT) en el ángulo craneovertebral (CVA) y el rango de movimiento del cuello (ROM) en individuos con FHP y PGM suboccipitales activos. Métodos: Cuarenta y cinco sujetos fueron asignados aleatoriamente en tres grupos. El grupo A recibió ejercicio de corrección postural, el grupo B recibió SMIT y ejercicio de corrección postural, y el grupo C recibió PPRT suboccipital y ejercicio de corrección postural. Resultados: Se encontró significación estadística dentro y entre los grupos con respecto al ROM en todas las direcciones (P <0,05) excepto para la flexión del lado derecho e izquierdo entre los grupos A y B, que fue P = 0,54 y P = 0,67, respectivamente. CVA había mostrado resultados significativos dentro y entre los grupos (P <0,05), excepto para el grupo A versus el grupo B (P = 0,41). Conclusión: Ambas técnicas funcionan para aumentar el CVA y mejorar el ROM en individuos con FHP. Sin embargo, la PPRT suboccipital ha demostrado ser más eficaz.

Reduced graft survival in renal transplant patients with urinary tract infections – a meta-analysis
Authors: Hamilton Aimi D. M. , Prætorius Helle A.
Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION. Renal transplant patients are prone to developing urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, the potential effect of a UTI on renal graft loss remains unclear. METHODS. We systematically surveyed the literature for a potential association between UTI and graft loss. Articles were identified in online databases using a specific search string, followed by post selection for meta-analysis following four inclusion criteria: 1) a clear definition of UTI and recurrent UTI, 2) n > 200, 3) patient age > 16 years and 4) inclusion of data on graft loss. Data on UTI and graft loss were extracted from the included studies for calculation of a combined weighted odds ratio (OR) using the Mantel-Haenszel method. This review was conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 statement. RESULTS. Unfortunately, only eight of 108 papers met the inclusion criteria. These studies reported between 276 and 2,368 patients, primarily male, aged around 50 years. The two-year incidence of overall UTI varied from 16.5% at a 27.5-month follow-up to 30.1% at a 24-month follow-up from transplantation. Seven papers were included in the OR analysis; two found an association between UTI and graft loss and five did not. However, in the meta-analysis, the weighted OR for all seven studies was 1.340 (95% confidence interval: 1.050-1.720). CONCLUSIONS. Filtering the literature for a strict definition of UTI allowed us to establish an association between UTI and graft loss in renal transplant patients. However, further investigation and stronger studies using the Goldman criteria are needed to allow stratification for UTI severity and effect on graft loss.

How Did Depositors React to Bank Risks During the Covid-19 Outbreak in Indonesia?
Authors: Tumbelaka Indra
Published: January 2024

The Covid-19 outbreak provides a unique setting to examine the association between deposits and bank risk, including loan risk, as both deposits and loan risk increased significantly during the outbreak. Employing dynamic regression models in datasets from the Indonesian banking industry before and during the Covid-19 outbreak, this study provides new evidence that depositor discipline is stronger during the outbreak, as depositors are more sensitive to loan risk. The findings are different from prior studies in that depositor discipline tends to diminish during the crisis period. Furthermore, this study confirms the effectiveness of the deposit insurance system implementation, as uninsured depositors exercise stronger discipline. Last but not least, this study documents that depositor discipline is weaker in government banks as those banks are perceived as having implicit guarantees from the government.

A Preliminary Study on the Meranaw Traditional Balod 67 “Tie-Dye” Technique in Weaving
Authors: Alauya Casmin
Published: January 2024

This paper is a historical narrative study documenting two of the most ancient living Meranaw cultural heritage: weaving and tie-dyeing. These century-old surviving crafts serve as a testament to a long standing contacts and trade relation between the Philippines and her neighbouring countries such as India, China and the Asian countries more particularly Indonesia whose Ikat weaving style closely resembles the Meranaw balod technique in weaving. What links the Philippines with these countries and what finds the Meranaw more similar with the weaving tribes in Northern Luzon and Southern Mindanao are the similarities in their weaving culture. Highlights of this paper include the origin of the Meranaw balod technique in weaving, the ingenuity of the Meranaws with regards to the use of natural and indigenous raw materials for weaving such as plant fibers and the concoction of different plants and vegetables to produce dyes, and some mythical performances, ceremonies, and ritual offerings associated with the weaving and balod craftsmanship. This paper recommends the preservation of the Meranaw weaving cultural heritage through continuous recording or documenting, archiving, preserving them in their living form and ensuring its transmission to the next generation.
