Psychophysiological stress response in SCUBA divers
The research questions in this study were to examine the contribution of negative automatic thoughts and negative emotions, measured by two newly-constructed questionnaires, to psychophysiological stress responses among more experienced military and less experienced recreational divers. Further, we examined whether daily variations in cortisol levels could be attributed to the impact of negative thoughts/emotions rather than diving experience. Al…
Serum Catestatin Level as a Stratification Assessment Tool in Non-Critical Covid-19 Patients
Introduction: Catestatin (CST) is a peptide with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial activities. There are only a few studies that have investigated plasma CST levels in COVID-19 patients (mostly in ICU patients). In our work, the aim was to demonstrate serum CST levels and their correlation with clinical outcomes in a group of severe COVID-19 patients admitted to the non-ICU department. Methods: The subjects were 32 patients …
Quality of life in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and osteopenia
The Role of Urotensin-II in Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Pediatric Population
To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first study on the levels of U-II in obese children and adolescents, including a possible link to MS
Impact of Neonatal Body (Dis)Proportionality Determined by the Cephalization Index (CI) on Gross Motor Development in Children with Down Syndrome
Background: Children with Down syndrome (DS) lag behind typical children in the acquisition of developmental milestones, which could differ depending on body proportionality. We aimed to determine the difference in the acquisition of developmental milestones in children with DS with a disproportionate cephalization index (CI) compared to a proportionate CI. We created a motor development model that predicted milestone acquisition times. Methods: …
Sport Dietary Supplements and Physical Activity in Biomedical Students
Biomedical students should have suitable knowledge about sport dietary supplements (SDS) usage as they are future medical professionals who will have SDS users in their care. The aim of this study was to assess the habits, opinions, and knowledge about SDS usage, along with the level of physical activity, in 386 biomedical students at the University of Split School of Medicine. A specialized questionnaire was developed by a group of experts for t…
How Are We Managing Patients with Hyperuricemia and Gout
This study identified gaps in primary care physicians' knowledge essential for the adequate management of patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and gout. As hyperuricemia and gout are among the fastest rising non-communicable diseases, greater awareness of the available guidelines and more education about the causes and risks of hyperuricemia among primary care physicians may reduce the development of diseases that have hyperuricemia as risk f…
Family Physicians’ Standpoint and Mental Health Assessment in the Light of Covid-19 Pandemic—A Nationwide Survey Study
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, family physicians (FPs) are the backbone of the healthcare system with considerable impact on the general population, and their well-being is of great importance. The aim of this investigation was to assess FPs mental health, as well as knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAPs) regarding the pandemic, and opinions on non-communicable disease (NCD) health care provided to patients. A cross-s…
