Istodobna duboka venska tromboza i plućna embolija udružena s hipertireozom: prikaz slučaja

Numerous disorders of coagulation and fibrinolysis have been reported in patients with thyroid diseases, especially with hyperthyroidism. Most articles are focused on deep vein thrombosis risk, however, few of them describe association between hyperthyroidism and pulmonary embolism. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with long-term uncontrolled hyperthyroidism complicated by venous thromboembolism. The potential mechanisms could be endothelial dysfunction, decreased fibrinolytic activity, and increased levels of coagulation factors. Thyroid evaluation should be recommended in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolic events.Različiti poremećaji koagulacije ponekad se povezuju s bolestima štitnjače, najčešće hipertireozom. Većina dosadašnjih radova je usredotočena na rizik duboke venske tromboze kod takvih bolesnika, dok je u vrlo malom broju radova opisana povezanost hipertireoze i plućne embolije. Prikazuje se slučaj 43-godišnje bolesnice s dugogodišnjom nekontroliranom hipertireozom i posljedičnim akutnim venskim tromboembolizmom. Vjerojatni patofiziološki mehanizam uključuje oštećenje endotela, smanjenje fibrinolitičke aktivnosti i povećanu razinu faktora koagulacije. Klinička i laboratorijska evaluacija štitnjače preporučljiva je u bolesnika s neprovociranim tromboembolijskim događajem

Satiričko političko izvješćivanje u serijalu The Daily Show

U ovom radu obrađuje se problematika modernog načina izvještavanja vijesti kroz primjer The Daily Showa. The Daily Show je satirični televizijski program koji kroz humorno komentiranje izvještaja mainstream medija iznosi kritiku na račun političara, medija i cjelokupnog društva. Koristeći postupak analize sadržaja proučeni su dijelovi The Daily Showa kako bi se utvrdilo njegovo mjesto i uloga u medijima. Analizom epizoda The Daily Showa pobliže se određuje spoj satire i novinarstva. Također, gleda se i njegov utjecaj na publiku i politiku te se uspoređuje s tradicionalnim novinarstvom kako bi se bolje shvatio značaj političke satire u medijima.This paper elaborates on the problematic of the modern way of reporting the news using the example of The Daily Show. The Daily Show is a satirical television show that uses humor when commenting on the mainstream medija reports in order to express criticism towards politicians, the media and society as a whole. Through the proces of content analisis, segemnts of The Daily Show have been studied in order to better determine it's place and influence in the media. By analizing the episodes of The Daily Show the merge of satire and journalism is closer determined. The shows influence on it's audience and politics is also examined and is compared to tradicional journalism to better understand the significance of political satire in the media

Nutrition problems in insectivorous, granivorous and frugivorous birds in captivity

Prehrana ptica predstavlja vrlo široki spektar koji se još u davnoj prošlosti ( u doba Rimskog Carstva) počela proučavati, prvotno proučavajući prehranu ptica u divljini, a zatim i u zatočeništvu. Promatralo ih se što jedu i na koji način jedu na način da ih hrane u svojim vrtovima koji je i dan danas masovno primjenjena u gradovima. Kao najčešći modelni organizmi za istraživanje prehrane često su papige jer su uzgajane kao kućni ljubimci, ali i perad koja služi u prehrambenoj industriji. Međutim,ti modeli nisu relevantni za prehranu ostalih vrsta ptica kao na primjer vrste iz porodice vrapčarki koje imaju druge prehambene zahtjeve. Zbog velike raznolikosti prehrane teško ih je klasificirati u određene kategorije zbog raznolikosti hrane u divljini te zbog zadovoljavanja nedostataka u prehrani. Ovaj rad predstavlja osvrt o prehrani ptica u prirodi i zatočeništvu (primarno insektivori,granivori i frugivori) te problemi u prehrani ptica s kojim se mogu susresti uzgajivači,veterinari i rehabilitatori. Osim toga,u ovom radu je napravljen pregled dobre i loše prehrane (kvaliteta nutrijenata, simptomi bolesti) u zatočeništvu i othrani ptica. Zaključno tome, postoje mnoge alternativne smjese koje mogu nadomijestiti prehranu u prirodi, ali teži se imitiranjem prehrane u divljini pa je teško napraviti univerzalnu smjesu koja bi zadovoljila sve prehambene zahtjeve ptica. Osim toga, treba paziti koja i kakva smjesa se daje kojoj vrsti ptice zbog raznolikih prehambenih zahtjeva različitih vrsta ptica.Bird nutrition has a very wide spectrum that has been studied in the ancient past (from the Roman Empire), first studying the diet of wild birds and then in captivity. They observe what they eat and how they eat in a way that they feed them in their gardens, which is still massively practiced in cities today. As the most common modeling organisms for nutrition research are often parrots because they are breeded as pets, but also poultry used in the food industry. However, these models are not relevant to the feeding of other bird species, such as those of a Passerine family who have other pre-requisitions of nutrition. Due to the high variety of foods, it is difficult to classify them in certain categories due to the diversity of food in the wild and the lack of nutrition. This paper presents a review of the diet of birds in nature and captivity (primarily insectivores, granivores and frugivores) and bird nutrition problems that breeders, veterinarians and rehabilitators can meet. In addition, this paper presents an overview of good and bad nutrition (quality of food, disease symptoms) in captivity and nurturing birds. In conclusion, there are many alternative mixtures that can replace the ongoing food in nature, but tends to be imitating the diet in the wild is difficult to make universal mixture that would satisfy all the alimentary requirements of birds. In addition, it should be noted which and what kind of mixture is given to which species of birds due to the diverse nutrition requirements of different bird species

Situation Interpretation for Knowledge- and Model Based Laparoscopic Surgery

To manage the influx of information into surgical practice, new man-machine interaction methods are necessary to prevent information overflow. This work presents an approach to automatically segment surgeries into phases and select the most appropriate pieces of information for the current situation. This way, assistance systems can adopt themselves to the needs of the surgeon and not the other way around

FETISHISM IN FASHION AND CLOTHING

Tema ovog rada je fetišizam kroz modu i odijevanje, odnosno sama pojava fetiša kroz cijelu povijest mode i odijevanja pa sve do danas. Budući da je fetiši termin koji ima dosta dugačku povijest, a njegova značenja mogu biti religijska, antropološka, ponajprije ga vežemo uz nešto seksualno. Teško je saznati pravu povijest i razlog pojave fetiša kroz modu i odijevanje, ali svakako je danas prisutan sve više u modnom dizajnu, a povezan je s isticanjem tijela ili određenog dijela tijela zbog obožavanja istog. Kroz vlastite ću ilustracije prikazati osobno viđenje raznih spektara fetišizma kroz ideje, modu, dizajn. Iako fetiš u modi uglavnom vežemo za žene i homoseksualce, danas je priča sasvim drugačija, što će također biti vidljivo kroz moje ilustracije. Mnogi dizajneri smatraju fetiš trajnom inspiracijom koja nikako ne može dosaditi, zato još od '70-ih na modnim pistama možemo pratiti dizajnere poput Vivienne Westwood ili Thierry Mugler, koji u svojim kolekcijama besramno koriste fetiš kao inspiraciju stvarajući taj provokativni efekt u društvu.The theme of this thesis is fetishism through fashion and clothing, and its' appearance throughout the history of fashion and clothing to date. Since a fetish is a term that has a long history and its meaning can be religious, anthropological, we primarily associate it with something sexual. It is difficult to find out the true history and the reason of the appearance of the fetishism through fashion, but it is certainly more and more present in fashion design today, and it is associated with the emphasis of the body or part of the body for worshiping it. I will present through my own illustrations my personal views of various spectrum of fetishism; ideas, fashion, design. Although the fetishism is mostly tied to women and homosexuals, the story today is quite different which will be visible in my illustrations. Many designers considered it a lifelong inspiration that can never be boring, so since 1970., we can follow different designers such as Vivienne Westwood or Thierry Mugler, who in their collections are using the fetish as an inspiration in creating that provocative effect in society

CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION OF VICTIM AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF INTERNATIONAL LAW TO VICTIMS

The victim is not interested in the theory of criminal law. The examination of the reasons should begin with a functional analysis of the aims of criminal law. The remark that victimology was conceived as a criminological category, which in one sense leads to the conclusion that the position of the victim is necessarily measured by the goals of criminal law in terms of special and general prevention, narrows the interest of classical criminal law theory to the victim. In this scientific paper, the author talks about the concept of victim, both from the criminal and criminal law aspect, as well as from the linguistic one. Emphasis was also placed on the types of victims, as well as the notion of the same in domestic and comparative law, with special reference to International law

Dabigatran Use Associated with Hemopericardium and Hemothorax

Concurrent spontaneous hemopericardium and hemothorax due to anticoagulant use are extremely rare in clinical practice. Dabigatran is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor approved to prevent stroke or thromboembolic episodes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. We report the case of a 73-year-old man who received dabigatran therapy (150 mg twice a day) for 3 months and developed massive spontaneous hemothorax and hemopericardium associated with fever. Emergency chest computed tomography scan established higher-density pericardial effusion (22HU) and left pleural effusion of heterogeneous density (5–15 HU) which could be hemorrhagic content while the heart ultrasound finding confirmed pericardial effusion 7–9 mm thick, without affecting hemodynamics. Almost 1100 mL of blood was drained by ultrasoundguided thoracentesis. After excluding other possible causes, diagnostic withdrawal was performed for dabigatran and no further pleural or pericardium effusion developed after dabigatran was discontinued. Therefore, practitioners could be aware of hemothorax as well as hemopericardium as a potential complication of dabigatran therapy
