Item type:Publication, DERMATOGLYPHIC PATTERNS AMONG STUDENTS IN NORTH MACEDONIA(Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, 2026-03-24); ; ; ; Introduction: Dermatoglyphics is a scientific discipline that studies the epidermal ridge patterns present on the palmar surfaces of the hands, the toes and the plantar surfaces of the feet. Aim. An analysis of individual dermatoglyphic characteristics in healthy medical students of Macedonian and Albanian ethnicity was conducted. Material and methods: The study included 234 healthy students; palm prints were obtained and dermatoglyphic parameters were read, classified and compared with data reported in the dermatoglyphic literature. Imprinting was done by the Cummins and Midlo ink method. The reading and classification of dermatoglyphic patterns were performed according to Henry's system. Results: Ulnar loops were the most prevalent patterns, followed by circular, arcuate and complex patterns, which were present in a small percentage in both genders; radial loop was present only on the second finger in both genders. There were differences on the right hand for the second, fourth and fifth finger, and on the left hand for the third, fourth and fifth finger between males and females. Also, significant differences were found in the third and fourth interdigital spaces and hypothenar area. The triradii distribution formula in females was: a > b > d > c > t; whereas in males it was: a > t > b > c = d. Additional triradii were rare in both genders. The atd angle was within the range of 32ᵒ -55ᵒ in females and 33ᵒ -50ᵒ in males, most often 40ᵒ in both groups. Conclusion: This population-based study have shown similarities and differences in the prevalence of some dermatoglyphic features in males and females among healthy students. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Dermatoglyphic patterns in population of the R. of North Macedonia(Anatomischen Gesellschaft, 2025-09-26); ; ; ; Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of fingerprints from the hands and fingers, soles and toes. Dermatoglyphic study has been conducted in order to determine and analyze individual dermatoglyphic characters in healthy individuals with Macedonian and Albanian nationality. Some dermatoglyphic parameter on the 210 palm prints were read and classified. The prints were obtained from healthy individuals of Macedonian and Albanian ethnic origin. Palm prints were taken using Cummins and Midlo’s ink method .Dermatoglyphics were classified according Henry’s system. The results in our population study showed that UL>Wc>We>DL>A>RL on both hands in all participants, radial loops are present only on the second digit, index and double loops are most present as complex patterns. Formula for present triradii is a>t>b>d>c. The values for Atd angle are equal from 35˚-55˚.Most often found in hypothenar region are distal loops. In conclusion, a dermatoglyphic patterns on the hands and fingers in population in the R. of North Macedonia have been made. Normal variability of the dermatoglyphic patterns have been presented. The results provide new possibilities for further investigation of dermatoglyphics and their biological and genetic properties. Findings from our populational study can be compared with the results of other nationalities, as well as presenting a control group for comparison with dermatoglyphic patterns in many genetical disorders and different diseases. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, RENAL ARTERY VARIATIONS DETECTED BY CTA(Anatomischen Gesellschaft, 2025-09-26); ; ; ; This study aims to determine the prevalence and morphological characteristics of renal artery variations using computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the abdominal aorta. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 37 CTA images of patients over 18 years of age. The scans were performed using a multidetector CT scanner (MDCT Siemens, 128-slice), and the images were analyzed with Vitrea® Advanced Visualization Software. Evaluated parameters included the origin, number and diameter of the renal arteries, presence of accessory arteries and the suprarenal and infrarenal segments of the aorta. Normal bilateral renal vascularization was observed in 91.9% of cases. Variations were detected in 5.41% (2 cases): one with unilateral and one with bilateral accessory renal arteries. No statistically significant association was found between sex and the presence of variations (p=0.51). Despite the limited sample size, renal artery variations were identified. Accessory renal arteries are a common anatomical variation with significant implications in clinical and surgical practice. Accurate preoperative identification using CTA is essential for optimal surgical planning, especially in urology and vascular surgery. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, THE ROLE OF МR SPECTROSCOPY AND CONTRAST ENHANCED MRI IN PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS(Macedonian Association of Anatomists and Morphologists, 2025-11-25); ; ; Bozhinovska, BiljanaIn patients with increased prostate-specific antigen, the next diagnostics tool is transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy. The biopsy can cause pain, bleeding and infection. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp MRI) as non-invasive diagnostics tool is used as a triage test to avoid biopsy, as well as to improve the diagnostics. The aim of this study was to examine the value of MR spectroscopy and dynamic post-contrast series in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. This cohort prospective study included 100 patients from CGH “September 8th” with increased levels of PSA. The MRI equipment used was Siemens Essenza 1,5T with body coil. The results obtained by MR spectroscopy analysis were correlated with the post-contrast series, whereby by mapping suspicious areas, patients underwent biopsy according to the PIRADS (prostate imaging and reporting data system) classification. Of the 100 patients, 96 were biopsied according to the PIRADS (prostate imaging and reporting data system) classification. The MRI results and pathohistological findings were then compared. On MR postcontrast series, a malignant lesion was detected in 52% of patients, in 33% of patients the lesion was suspicious for malignancy. On MR spectroscopy, a choline+creatinine/citrate ratio of 0.8 to 2 indicating a possible malignant lesion was confirmed in 33% of patients, this ratio was greater than 2 in 33% of patients, indicating a lesion highly suspicious for malignancy. MR spectroscopy combined with contrast enhanced MRI is a powerful tool for non-invasive differentiation of benign prostatic hyperplastic nodule and prostatitis from a malignant nodule. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Anatomy education and clinical practice: students’ views(Grupa Via Medica, 2025-10-16); ; ; ; Background and objectives: This study was aimed at evaluating students’ per spectives on the relevance of anatomy education to clinical practice throughout their studies at the Faculty of Medicine in Skopje. Materials and methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based investigation and took place at the Faculty of Medicine in Skopje at the University of “Ss Cyril and Methodius”, R. North Macedonia. The questionnaire form included demographics, five-point Likert items, and open-ended questions. Questionnaire data was collected from volunteer student participants, currently and not currently involved in anatomy education, consisting of 134 first-year and 87 fourth- and fifth-year students during March and April 2024. Results: Junior students agreed that their anatomy education helped them achieve some important goals for clinical practice, such as adopting and applying medical terminology and the ability to visualise a three-dimensional human body map. Senior students were less convinced that the structures and concepts acquired during anatomy education were relevant to clinical practice, or that they helped them acquire clinical knowledge and skills effectively, or to understand the principles of evidence-based medicine. Junior students and their senior colleagues disagreed as to whether anatomy education succeeded in developing their self-confidence, teamwork, and communication skills. Conclusions: Both groups of students had similar preferences and suggestions for redesigning anatomy courses to focus on essential elements that are functionally and clinically relevant. This can be achieved through traditional and modern teaching methods, small group work, and the establishment of learning outcomes within clinically relevant contexts.
