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. Dr Abraham Joseph Vinaver laid the foundations for today’s radiology in SerbiaDoktor Avram Josif Vinaver (1862−1915), Jevrejin iz Poljske, bio je pionir srpske radiologije. Diplomirao je na Medicinskom fakultetu u Varšavi (1887). Od 1890. godine živeo je i radio u Šapcu (Kraljevina Srbija). Nabavio je prvi rendgenski aparat i razvio radiološku službu u Šapcu, pet godina po otkriću X-zraka. Bili su to počeci radiologije u Srbiji. Uveo je u primenu arterške bunare. Dr Avram Josif Vinaver − učesnik Prvog kongresa srpskih lekara i prirodnjaka, Beograd 1904. godine. „Dijagnostička važnost Rentgenovih zrakova kod bolesti pluća, naročito kod početne tuberkuloze” i „Pet godina lečenja Rentgenovim zracima” bila su prva saopštenja iz oblasti radiologije u Srbiji ovog autora.

CRIMINAL OFFENSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION IN THE CRIMINAL LEGISLATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Undoubtedly, one of the leading movements at the global level in the past few decades was the movement for the global and intensive protection of the human environment, that is, the affirmation of the right of man to a healthy environment, as a distinct right. Bearing in mind the importance of a healthy environment and the importance of its protection, which has grown from a social need into a legal imperative, it is certainly justified to establish the environment as an independent and primary collective object of protection within the domestic criminal legislation. Taking into account the tendencies on the international and comparative level regarding the regulation of the criminal law protection of the environment, the domestic legislator dedicates an entire chapter of the Criminal Code precisely to incriminations that have the environment as an object of protection, in various forms. As the first offense provided for in Chapter 24 i.e., Criminal offenses against the environment, the legislator defines the general and most significant criminal offense from the group of criminal offenses against the environment, namely, Environmental pollution. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of this criminal offense in domestic criminal legislation, with reference to individual solutions contained in the legislation of the Republic of Croatia and pointing out their differences

SURGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE ABDOMEN VIEWED ON A NATIVE ABDOMINAL RADIOGRAPH IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION

The paper presents surgical conditions of the abdomen viewed on a native abdominal radiograph in an upright position: atresia anus, the Chilaiditi syndrome, ileus, pneumo-peritoneum, calcified pancreas. Conclusion: A native radiograph of the abdomen in an upright position is a dominant examination method in diagnostics of an acute abdomen, intestinal obstruction and perforation and other pathological conditions of the abdomen

STAGE 5 RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY IN ONE EYE – CASE REPORT

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of blindness in children and one of the most important reasons of blindness in the perinatal period. The aim of the paper was to present a nine-month-old baby boy with esotropia, microphtalmos and completely detached retina in one eye, as the end stage of the disease, who had not been checked for ROP. The boy was born in the 32nd gestational week, with 1670 g birth weight. Indirect ophthalmoscope examination and ultrasonography of the left eye showed stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity. On the right eye, the finding was valid. Retinopathy of prematurity today needs recognition, understanding and awareness among ophthalmologists, pediatricians, neonatologists. Early diagnosis of damage is important in the treatment of ROP

Central Retinal Artery Occlusion in a Patient with Metabolic Syndrome X

Purpose: To report a case of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in a patient with metabolic syndrome X. Case Report: A 64 year-old-man presented with abrupt, painless, and severe loss of vision in his left eye. Indirect ophthalmoscopy disclosed signs compatible with CRAO and laboratory investigations revealed erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 74 mm/h, C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 21 mg/l, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. Fluorescein angiography and immunological studies excluded other systemic disorders. The patient met the full criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program for metabolic syndrome X. Conclusion: In addition to different vascular complications such as stroke, and cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome X may be associated with retinal vascular occlusions

Characterization of bentonite clay from “Greda” deposit

Based on mineralogical and technological investigations of the deposit “Greda” important characteristics of bentonite clay were determined. Representative samples of the deposit were characterized with X-ray diffraction, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, chemical analysis, differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. It was determined that the main mineral is montmorillonite and in subordinate quantities kaolinite, quartz and pyrite. The chemical composition generally shows high silica and alumina contents in all samples and small quantities of Fe3+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ cations. Based on technological and mineralogical research, bentonite from this deposit is a high-quality raw material for use in the ceramic industry

CYTOMORPHOLOGY OF THE BULBAR CONJUNCTIVAL CELLS IN PATIENTS WITH DRY EYE

Dry eye is among the most common pathological conditions in ophthalmology. The aim of our study was to present possibilites of two different cytological methods for examination of cytomorphology of bulbar conjunctival cells- impression cytology (IC) and combined cytological method for scanning electron microscopy in the diagnosis  of dry eye (ICSEM). A hundred and twenty-two patients of both sexes, in different age groups, were analyzed by clinical method (slit lamp, Schirmer I, TBUT, Rose Bengal) and two cytomorphological methods – IC and ICSEM. In patients with dry eye, squamous metaplasia, inflammation and severe loss of adhesiveness of the epithelium were present. ICSEM gives an advantage in early diagnosis of changes, before the lesion of superficial conjunctival epithelium in patients with dry eye. The phenomenon of metaplasia appears in the epithelium of the bulbar conjunctiva in the absence of manifest dry eye and represents the basis for understanding the increased incidence of this syndrome in older patients with dry eye

Ekspresija gena u zrnu kukuruza kao odgovor na toplotni i vodni stres

New high-throughput techniques, together with advances in analytical and computational technologies are enabling systemic investigations of molecular processes of biological systems. Clustering is widely applied by biologists in genome sequencing projects and phylogenetic studies. In the microarray expression analysis, the aim of cluster is to better organize but not to alter primary data: genes are visually organized according to the statistical transformation and calculation, due to the expression pattern in maize kernel during heat and water stress. Besides grouping together genes with similar patterns of expression, genes are represented by increased intensity of red, dig. green color, according to their up- or down-regulation in stress condition, compared to control.Nove tehnike, zajedno sa dostignućima u analitičkoj i kompjuterskoj tehnologiji omogućile su sistematsko ispitivanje molekularnih procesa u biološkim sistemima. Klaster analiza se široko primenjuje od strane biologa u programima sekvencioniranja genoma i filogenteskim proučavanjima. U proučavanju ekspresije gena korišćenjem "microarray" tehnike, cilj klaster analize je da se bolje organizuju, ali ne i zamene izvorni podaci: geni su vizuelno organizovani na osnovu statističkih transformacija i proračuna, a prema načinu ekspresije u uslovima toplotnog i vodnog stresa u zrnu kukuruza. Pored grupisanja gena sa sličnim načinom ekspresije, svaki gen je predstavljen različitim intenzitetom crvene, tj.zelene boje u zavisnosti od toga da li je utvrđeno povećanje ili smanjenje ekspresije gena u uslovima stresa u odnosu na kontrolu

Quality Parameters and Antioxidant Activity of Three Clover Species in Relation to the Livestock Diet

Products of metabolism that are directly involved in growth, development and reproduction and also secondary products of metabolism were studied in 16 natural populations of three species of the genus Trifolium (T. repens - four populations, T. alpestre - three populations, T. pannonicum - nine populations), collected from the central Balkans region, i.e. territory of Serbia. Statistical analysis showed the presence of variability in all species of the test material. The best quality of dry matter, estimated by the ratio of crude protein and crude fiber, was achieved in the populations of white clover. In this species, average protein content was 216.4 g kg(-1) while the average content of crude fiber was 222.4 g kg(-1). The highest average content of total phenols (77.9 mg GA g(-1)), flavonoids (159.7 mg Ru g(-1)) and antioxidant activity (70.2 mu g ml(-1)) was measured in populations of T. pannonicum by phytochemical analysis of aerial parts of plants. The content of secondary metabolites and antioxidant activity in other species were extremely low. Populations of T. pannonicum were notable for fodder quality and antioxidant activity: CS091 with 186.2 g kg(-1) of crude protein and antioxidant activity of 55 mu g ml(-1); RA123 with 175.6 g kg(-1) of crude protein and a high level of antioxidant activity of 44.8 mu g ml(-1). It can be concluded that the selection of these populations may lead to creation of different varieties of fodder crops that could give safe animal feed and would be suitable for growing under adverse conditions of mountainous climate
