Low-level laser efficiency in reparation of bone defects

Introduction/Objective. Bone resorption is a common problem in dentistry, and bone reparation cannot be easily achieved. Several techniques of bone grafting and the use of low-level laser treatment (LLLT) as a new therapeutic optional recommended for improving bone repair were applied. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of LLLT in bone repair of artificially made bone defects in the rat mandible using histomorphometry. Methods. The research was carried out on 60 female rats. Bone...

An Updated Checklist of Freshwater Gastropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Emphasis on Crenobiotic Species

An updated checklist of freshwater gastropods of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including 144 species and subspecies from 59 genera and 17 families, is presented in this paper. Hydrobiidae is the most diverse family, representing ~50% of the species richness in the country. In total, ~38% of the recorded taxa are endemic. The highest number of species was recorded from underground waters and/or springs, followed by rivers and standing waters. This inventory includes 18 crenobiotic taxa, of which 9 are...

Natural extracts against agricultural pathogens: A case study of Celtis australis L.

AbstractPlant extracts and other plant products have been used as an alternative to synthetic fungicides or an additional way to reduce their use. The choice of plant extracts and their application depends on their functional characteristics, availability, cost‐effectiveness, and their impact on phytopathogens, and also on the environment. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the potential of Celtis australis methanolic extracts as source of compounds with antifungal activity. Methanolic...

Evaluation of Physical Literacy in 9- to 11-Year-Old Children: Reliability and Validity of Two Measurement Tools in Three Southeastern European Countries

The awareness of the importance of physical literacy (PL) is globally increasing; however, knowledge of the applicability of PL measurement tools in southeastern Europe is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of translated versions of the CAPL-2 and PLAYself questionnaires in 9- to 11-year-old elementary school children from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. The participants were 303 children (141 girls; all 9 to 11 years of age) from Croatia...

The Link between miRNAs and PCKS9 in Atherosclerosis

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CDV) represents the major cause of death globally. Atherosclerosis, as the primary cause of CVD, is a chronic immune-inflammatory disorder with complex multifactorial pathophysiology encompassing oxidative stress, enhanced immune-inflammatory cascade, endothelial dysfunction, and thrombosis. An initiating event in atherosclerosis is the subendothelial accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), followed by the localization of macrophages to fatty deposits on...

Two Isomers of a Novel Ag(I) Complex with Pyrazole-Type Ligand—Synthesis, Structural, Thermal, and Antioxidative Characterization

The synthesis of the first Ag(I) complexes with ethyl-5-amino-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (L) is presented. The reaction of AgClO4 with the ligand in a molar ratio of 1:1 gives a bis(ligand) complex [AgL2]ClO4 (1) in the presence of 4-formylbenzonitrile, monoperiodic polymer {[AgL2]ClO4}n (2). Characterization involved IR spectroscopy, conductometric measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, antioxidant tests, powder, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis revealed ligand...

Anthropometric Characteristics and Weight Status of Early Adolescents (Aged 12–14) in Montenegro; Urban–Rural and Regional Differences

The aim of this study was to determine urban–rural and regional differences in anthropometric characteristics among adolescents aged 12–14, as well as to present the prevalence of weight status. A total of 534 adolescents aged 12–14 from primary schools across Montenegro participated in this cross-sectional study (283 boys, aged 13.52 ± 0.42, body height 169.43 ± 8.89, body weight 60.54 ± 13.47; 251 girls, aged 13.51 ± 0.40, body height 165.54 ± 6.67, body weight 55.28 ± 9.27). The sample was divided...
