Doktor Avram Josif Vinaver (1862-1915) - pionir srpske radiologije

Dr Abraham Joseph Vinaver (1862-1915), a Jew from Poland, was a pioneer of radiology in Serbia. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Warsaw (1887) but lived and worked in Šabac (the Kingdom of Serbia) since 1890. He procured the first X-ray machine and developed a radiological service in Šabac five years after the discovery of X-rays. These were the beginnings of radiology in Serbia. He introduced the application of artesian wells. Dr Abraham Joseph Vinaver - a Participant at the First Congress of Serbian Physicians and Naturalists, Belgrade 1904. "The Diagnostic Importance of X-rays in Lung Disease, especially in Initial Tuberculosis" and "Five Years of Treatment by X-Ray Machines" were the first works in the field of radiology in Serbia by this author. Dr Abraham Joseph Vinaver - Reserve Medical Officer in the Serbian Army. During the Balkan Wars, he was a volunteer with the rank of major engaged in military corps and he participated in the First World War as well. He died of malaria in 1915 in Gevgelija. His dedication to work during the typhus epidemics was put into verses of a poem by his son Stanislav Vinaver. Dr Avram Vinaver Joseph was a nobleman with a great heart, who selflessly sacrificed himself for the Serbian people and Serbia. He gave his contribution to the development of health services in Serbia, both in peacetime and wartime conditions.

Intratympanic Corticosteroid Perfusion in the Therapy of Meniere's Disease

Introduction Over the last two decades the intratympanic perfusion of corticosteroids has been used as a minimally invasive surgical therapy of Meniere's disease. According to experimental studies the antiinflammatory, immunoprotective, antioxidant and neuroprotective role of the locally perfused corticosteroids was noticed in the inner ear structures. The recovery of action potentials in the cells of the Corti organ was confirmed as well as a decreased expression of aquaporine-1, a glycoprotein responsible for labyrinth hydrops and N and K ions derangement. Objective The study showed results of intratympanic perfusion therapy with dexamethasone in patients with retractable Meniere's disease who are resistant to conservative treatment. Methods Single doses of 4 mg/ml dexamethasone were given intratympanically in 19 patients with retractable Meniere's disease. Six single successive doses of dexamethasone were administered in the posteroinferior quadrant of the tympanic membrane. Follow-up of the patients was conducted by using a clinical questionnaire a month after completed perfusion series as well as on every third month up to one year. Results One month after completed first course of perfusions, in 78% of patients, vertigo problems completely ceased or were markedly reduced. The recovery of hearing function was recorded in 68% and marked tinnitus reduction in 84% of patients. After a year of follow-up, in 63% of patients the reduction of vertigo persisted, while hearing function was satisfactory in 52%. Tinitus reduction was present in 73% of patients. Conclusion Intratympanic perfusion of dexamethasone in patients with Meniere's disease is a minimally invasive therapeutic method that contributes to the reduction of the intensity of vertigo recurrent attacks, decrease of the intensity of tinnitus and improvement of the average hearing threshold. Patients with chronic diseases and Meniere's disease who are contraindicted for systemic administration of cortocosteroids (hypertension, diabetes, glaucoma, peptic ulcer, etc.) have an additional therapeutic option by dexamethasone intratympanic perfusion

Telemedicine in the Era of a Pandemic: Usefulness of a Novel Three-Lead ECG

The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a first-line diagnostic tool for patients with cardiac symptoms. As observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ECG is essential to the initial patient evaluation. The novel KardioPal three-lead-based ECG reconstructive technology provides a potential alternative to a standard ECG, reducing the response time and cost of treatment and improving patient comfort. Our study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a reconstructed 12-lead ECG obtained by the KardioPal technology, comparing it with the standard 12-lead ECG, and to assess the feasibility and time required to obtain a reconstructed ECG in a real-life scenario. A prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, adjudicator-blinded trial was conducted on 102 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Dedinje Cardiovascular Institute in Belgrade. The KardioPal system demonstrated a high feasibility rate (99%), with high specificity (96.3%), sensitivity (95.8%), and diagnostic accuracy (96.1%) for obtaining clinically relevant matching of reconstructed 12-lead compared to the standard 12-lead ECG recording. This novel technology provided a significant reduction in ECG acquisition time and the need for personnel and space for obtaining ECG recordings, thereby reducing the risk of viral transmission and the burden on an already overwhelmed healthcare system such as the one experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic

Ispitivanje mobilne vršalice 'V-08' u vršidbi semena pšenice

U radu su ispitivane kvalitativne karakteristike mobilne vršalice tip V-08 proizvođača „ERNET“ iz Kikinde, namenjene za vršidbu semena ratarskih i povrtarskih kultura na oglednim poljima. Na malim oglednim parcelama posle košenja useva, vršidba je sastavni deo ubiranja semenske pšenice. Cilj ispitivanja je bio praktična primena i ocena kvaliteta rada uređaja u vršidbi sortnog semena pšenice u mikro ogledima. U toku istraživanja ustanovljeni su gubici semena na slamotresima i sitima vršalice koji se pojavljuju u neovršenim klasovima i slobodnom semenu u ovršenoj masi. Visina gubitaka i kvalitet ovršenog semena zavise od sorte, vlažnosti semena u momentu žetve, od broja obrtaja bubnja, zazora između bubnja i podbubnja, veličine otvora na sitima i njihove čistoće. U radu vršalice ukupni gubici semena kretali su se od 0,17-3,24% od čega je manji deo gubitka semena na sitima od 0-0,18% od prinosa, a ostalo su gubici na slamotresima. Kvalitet vršidbe određivan je na osnovu prosečnog uzorka uzetog iz kese-vrećice u koju je seme prikupljeno iz vršalice. Kasnije je u laboratoriji na separatoru tipa Dakota iz prosečnog uzorka izdvojeno celo, šturo i polomljeno seme i ostale primese. Kvalitet vršidbe je bio zadovojavajući jer se učešće čistog semena kretalo od 88-98,52%, šturog semena od 0,73-4,65% i primesa 0,73-9,95%. Pravilnim podešavanjem i načinom rada vršalice V-8 kvalitet ovršenog semena pšenice je zadovoljavajući sa minimalnim gubicima semena na vršalici i sitima
