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, The occurrence of acute subdural haematoma and diffuse axonal injury as two typical acceleration injuries(Elsevier, 2012); ; ; ; Popevska, ZClosed head injuries have already been classified into contact injuries and acceleration–deceleration injuries. Two typical acceleration–deceleration injuries and at the same time, the two worst head injuries are acute subdural haematoma (ASDH) and diffuse axonal injury (DAI), and that is where they got their medico-legal importance. Using experiments, it has been shown that acceleration with an impact time of more than 20–25 min (which occurs in traffic accidents in real life) causes DAI, whereas an impact time of 5–10 min is more likely to produce acute subdural haematoma. The aim of this research is to show that not all, but some types of traffic accidents are more typical for the occurrence of DAI, as well as that the ASDH is not a common feature for all types of fall. The analysis conveyed covered 80 cases of closed head injuries (traffic accidents, falls and assaults) where a complete forensic medical autopsy has been undertaken, followed by a complete forensic–neuropathological examination. For the purpose of diagnosing DAI, immunohistochemistry using antibody against β-amyloid precursor protein has been involved. Results show that ASDH is more likely to occur in cases of simple fall, assaults and cyclists and DAI is more typical for vehicular traffic accidents and cases of falling from a considerable height. The paper also comprises discussion about some open questions regarding the diagnosis of DAI in the medico-legal practice. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Dilemmas concerning the diffuse axonal injury as a clinicopathological entity in forensic medical practice(Elsevier, 2012); ; ; ; Popevska, ZDilemmas and discussions concerning the diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and still existing in forensic medical practice are as it follows: 1. Whether the occurrence of DAI can indicate the type of traumatic event that has caused the head trauma, 2. Whether the presence of axonal damage in cases of hypoxia, ischaemia and other pathological conditions casts a shadow on the post-mortem pathological diagnosis of DAI and totally negates it, or there are certain clues in the findings that can point to the aetiology of the axonal damage. This paper discusses our findings based on neuropathological examination of 60 forensic cases of closed head injury. The neuropathological examination included: a macroscopic examination of the coronal sections and a microscopic examination involving an immunohistochemical method with antibody against β-amyloid precursor protein. Our findings indicate that DAI, as a clinicopathological entity, is undoubtedly an acceleration–deceleration injury, predominant in road traffic accidents as it is classically outlined, and cases of falling from a considerable height. Our findings point to a certain difference between the features of traumatic and ischaemic axonal damage. In this paper we also investigate the correlation between pathological grades of DAI and the impairment of the brain function before death. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, SEASONAL VARIABILITY OF (25OH) VIT D IN OBESE WOMEN IN NORTH MACEDONIA(Македонско лекарско друштво = Macedonian medical association, 2023); ; ; Petrit IzairiIntroduction. Every year, 15 million infants are born prematurely, and 1 million of them surrender to preterm birth complications, accounting for 1 in every 3 neonatal deaths. Globally, about 28.5 premature births occur per minute, resulting in approximately 4 fatalities, with 2 of these attributed to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). This study aimed to investigate how betamethasone affects fetal lung development by assessing fetal lung volume and its association with neonatal RDS. The study received ethical approval by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia. Methods. This prospective clinical observational-interventional study involved 100 patients, including 50 with a history of preterm birth (study group) and 50 full-term cases (control group). The study was conducted at the University Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics, Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia. Fetal lung volume was measured before and after betamethasone therapy, and its relation to neonatal RDS was evaluated. Patients were categorized into five groups based on gestational weeks. Results. Significant differences in total fetal pulmonary volume were observed before and after betamethasone treatment. Additionally, the measurement of total fetal lung volume has proved to be effective in predicting neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion. Total fetal pulmonary volume measurement is a highly sensitive and specific method for predicting fetal lung maturity. This non-invasive, cost-effective, and easily accessible technique can be routinely employed in hospitals equipped with suitable ultrasound devices and adequately trained staff. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
