Baktofugacija mlijeka

Baktofugacija je novi postupak obrade mlijeka pronađen po prof. Paul Simonairtu sa Sveučilišta u Louvainu, koji ga je sa svojim suradnicima tokom višegodišnjih pokusa razvio do te mjere da se može primijeniti na industrijski način

Proizvođači, poboljšajte kvalitetu mlijeka

Poboljšanje kvalitete mlijieka glavni je prieduvjet da se dobije dobro konzumno mlijeko i valjani mliječni proizvodi. Kvalitetnim mlijekom postiže se bolja cijena, smanjuju se gubici u proizvodnji, a povećava se promet i potrošnja mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda

Krepka krma u prehrani krava

Kod izbora krmiva za prehranu stoke valja znati njihovu prikladnost za stanovitu vrst, kategoriju, spol, dob stoke i proizvodnju. Goveče je preživač, pa možie iskoristiti teže probavljivu voluminioznu krmu -zelenu krmu i sijeno

Kako ćemo se pobrinuti za prehranu stoke u ovoj sušnoj godini

Ovogodišnji mraz, pa suša, a djelimično i tuča nanijele su našoj poljoprivredi ogromne štete, jer su smanjile prinos ratarskih kultura (pšenice, ječma, raži, zobi, kukuruza, krumpira, graha itd.) i krmnog bilja na oranicama i travnjacima

EKONOMSKE KRIZE KAO POTICAJ PROMJENA U ZDRAVSTVENOM SUSTAVU – POVIJESNA PERSPEKTIVA S OSVRTOM NA PANDEMIJU COVID-19

Economic crises throughout history have often given an impetus for health and social reforms leading to the introduction of general healthcare systems and social equality in a large number of countries. The aim of this paper is to present the major economic crises and their effect on healthcare and social system chronologically. Bismarck’s and Beveridge’s model, the two most prominent healthcare models, which emerged primarily as a response to major economic crises, constitute the basis for the functioning of most health care systems in the world. An overview of historical events and experiences may be valuable in predicting future developments and potential effects of the crisis on healthcare systems and health in general. An analysis of past crises as well as current health and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the healthcare system can facilitate the comprehension of the mechanisms of action and consequences of economic recession. It may also help identify guidelines and changes that might reduce the potential damage caused by future crises. The historical examples presented show that a crisis could trigger changes, which, in their essence, are not necessarily negative. The response of society as a whole determines the direction of these changes, and it is up to society to transform the negative circumstances brought about by the recession into activities that contribute to general well-being and progress.Ekonomske krize tijekom povijesti često su bile poticaj za zdravstvene i socijalne reforme. Rezultat toga bilo je uvođenje sustava opće zdravstvene zaštite i socijalne jednakosti u velikom broju zemalja. Ovim radom željeli smo kronološki prikazati velike gospodarske krize i njihove učinke na zdravstveni i socijalni sustav. Dva najpoznatija modela zdravstvene zaštite, Bismarckov i Beveridgeov, na kojima se temelji funkcioniranje većine zdravstvenih sustava u svijetu, upravo su proizišli iz velikih ekonomskih kriza. Pregled povijesnih događaja i iskustva iz prošlosti mogu biti korisna u predviđanju budućih zbivanja i učinaka krize na zdravstvene sustave i zdravlje. Analiza prijašnjih kriza, kao i trenutačne zdravstvene i gospodarske krize uzrokovane pandemijom bolesti COVID-19, i njihova učinka na sustav zdravstva može pomoći u razumijevanju mehanizama djelovanja i posljedica recesije na zdravlje te određivanju smjernica i promjena kojima bi se umanjile potencijalne štete budućih kriza. Upravo iz iznesenih povijesnih primjera vidi se da kriza može biti poticaj promjena koje u svojoj suštini ne moraju biti negativne. O reakciji društva ovisi koji će biti smjer tih promjena i na samom je društvu da negativne okolnosti koje donosi recesija transformira u aktivnosti koje donose dobrobit i napredak

Inflammatory and angiogenic biomarkers in diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and a leading cause of blindness in working- age adults in developed countries. Numerous investigations have recognised inflammation and angiogenesis as important factors in the development of this complication of diabetes. Current methods of DR treatment are predominantly used at advanced stages of the disease and could be associated with serious side effects. Therefore, new diagnostic methods are needed in order to identify the initial stages of DR as well as monitoring the effects of applied therapy. Biochemical biomarkers are molecules found in blood or other biological fluid and tissue that indicate the existence of an abnormal condition or disease. They could be a valuable tool in detecting early stages of DR, identifying patients most susceptible to retinopathy progression and monitoring treatment outcomes. Biomarkers related to DR can be measured in the blood, retina, vitreous, aqueous humour and recently in tears. As the retina represents a small part of total body mass, a circulating biomarker for DR needs to be highly specific. Local biomarkers are more reliable as indicators of the retinal pathology; however, obtaining a sample of aqueous humour, vitreous or retina is an invasive procedure with potential serious complications. As a non-invasive novel method, tear analysis offers a promising direction in further research for DR biomarker detection. The aim of this paper is to review systemic and local inflammatory and angiogenic biomarkers relevant to this sight threatening diabetic complication

The impact of health capital on economic growth in the Balkan countries

This study estimates the impact of health capital on economic growth in 10 Balkan countries over the 2000-2019 period. We used panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) of a pooled mean group (PMG) to examine this relationship. Our results revealed that economic growth responds to short-term and long-term health capital changes. Estimation results indicate a positive relationship between health capital and the economic growth of Balkan countries. According to the results, increased health expenditure stimulates higher economic growth and development. The findings imply the need to formulate policies that assign higher priority to the healthcare sector, which would help sustain future economic growth in Balkan countries
