Item type:Publication, THE ROLE OF T2W PULSE SEQUENCE AND DIFFUSION WITH ITS NUMERICAL ADC MAP IN PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS(Macedonian Association of Anatomists and Morphologists, 2023); ; ; In patients with increased PSA (prostate-specific antigen), the next diagnostics tool is transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy-TRUS. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp MRI) as non invasive diagnostic tool is used as a triage test to avoid biopsy, as well as to improve the diagnostics. In our study we want to prove the clinical meaning of T2W pulse sequence and diffusion as a part of mp MRI in prostate malignant lesions detection and their distinction from the benign lesions. This cohort prospective study included 100 patients with increased levels of PSA from 4 ng/ml to 76 ng/ml. The MRI equipment used was Siemens Essenza1,5T with body coil. The results from the T2W pulse sequence and diffusion are correlated with the values of diffusion and ADC map, in which the suspected zones are marked on a template. Patients undergo biopsy depending on the PIRADS (prostate-imaging and reporting data system) classification. The MRI results and the pathohistological findings are then compared. Clinically significant cancer is considered to be a cancer with a Gleason score 6, diameter > 6mm. The values of diffusion with its numerical ADC map are considerably lower for malignant nodules compared to benign ones. Hyposignal of T2W pulse sequence is characterized with score 2 and 3 in benign changes, and 4 and 5 in malignant changes using the PI RADS score system for differentiation. T2W pulse sequence combined with diffusion 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, ANATOMICAL VARIATIONS OF THE AORTIC ARCH BRANCHING PATTERN(Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, 2018); ; ; ; Anatomical variations of the aortic arch and its branches are fairly common and can have important implications on prognosis and management of surgical interventions, as well as on radiological diagnostics and interventional radiology. The aim of this study was to present the anatomical variations in branching pattern of the aortic arch in a large group of patients using CTA and consequently to determine their prevalence in our population. The study population included 1000 patients with referral diagnoses requiring CTA chest radiography, which visualizes the aortic arch. The course of the aortic arch was clearly observed in all of the 1000 patients. The anatomic features of the aortic arch itself and supra-aortic vessels were analyzed, and anatomical variations were recorded on each CT image. The results showed that 89.3% of the cases had the usual branching pattern of the aortic arch. The most common variation was aortic arch with two branches, with left common carotid artery arising from brachiocephalic trunk (7.9%). Separate origin of the left vertebral artery between the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery was present in 2.8% of cases. The knowledge of the anatomy of the aortic arch and its branches and the awareness of vascular variations is an imperative in diagnostic procedures and in planning surgical interventions during clinical practice. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio cut-off points to predict obesity and metabolic syndrome among student population in skopje, North Macedonia(Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, 2021-06-21); ; ; ; Abdominal obesity is the most frequently observed component of metabolic syndrome. Any anthropometric measure is only the first step in identifying people at ‘early health risk’. This study aimed to determine a cut-off point of selected anthropometric indicators and to analyze the prevalence of normal weight obesity and abdominal obesity among university students. The study included 839 healthy students aged 18-20 (411 males and 428 females) from the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, R. North Macedonia. The following anthropometric parameters were measured: weight, height, two circumferences (waist WC and hip HC) using a standard protocol. The following indices were taken into consideration: Body Mass Index (BMI), WC and Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR). The prevalence of obesity across BMI cut-off points among Macedonian students was 22.22%. In the underweight group, the number of female students was significantly higher (12.61% vs 2.19%), while in the overweight and obesity group a higher percentage of male students was observed (27.5% vs 9.11% and 6.81% vs 1.41%). Prevalence of abdominal obesity according to WC and WHR cut-off among Macedonian students were: female had the prevalence of abdominal obesity (overweight and obese) of 25.47% WC and WHR 43.23%, respectively. Both cut-off points for the males were 34.55% WC and 52.81% WHR. However, the Macedonian cut-off points for WC and WHR showed a higher prevalence of abdominal obesity among males. These results and determination of BMI, WC, WHR cut-off values can be used for the prediction of consequences associated with obesity. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Morphologic characteristics of sacra associated with assimilation of the last lumbar vertebra(VM Media sp. z o.o. VM Group sp.k., Grupa Via Medica, 2016); ; ; Background: The impact of lumbosacral transitional states on biomechanics of load transmission between the spine and the legs has been sporadically reported. The aims of the study were to identify morphostructural alterations of sacra associated with assimilation of the last lumbar vertebra and to analyse them in the light of their biomechanical impact. Materials and methods: Linear dimensions of sacrum, its body and base and articular surfaces were measured in 31 normal and 41 transitory sacra. Nineteen sacra presented articular and 22 osseous fusion of the last lumbar vertebra. Measured parameters were compared between normal sacra and the two variations of transitory sacra. Results: Sacra with articular fusion of the last lumbar vertebra showed more pronounced concavity of the sacral curvature and wider than long sacral bodies. The first sacral segment was modified, broaden, ventrally wider and elevated. Almost the whole segment bore at its sides auricular surfaces. Very small portion of the segment was non-articular with less pronounced wedging. Sacra with osseous fusion of the last lumbar vertebra showed similar concavity of the sacral curvature as normal sacra, but longer than wide sacral bodies. The ventral sloping half of the newly formed first segment bore auricular surfaces. The non-articular part was enlarged with pronounced wedging. Conclusions: The term "sacralisation" includes both types of transitory sacra with mutually different morphostructural characteristics in contrast to the normal sacra. Analysis of these morphologic variations may help in understanding the different biomechanical properties and patterns of load transmission. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Anatomy of coronary sinus ostium(VM Media sp. z o.o. VM Group sp.k., Grupa Via Medica, 2016); ; ; Background: The coronary sinus is the main cardiac vein and it has become a clinically important structure especially through its role in providing access for different cardiac procedures. Materials and methods: The study was carried out on 100 randomly selected adult human cadaver hearts fixed in 10% formalin. The transverse and craniocaudal diameters of the coronary sinus ostium (CSO) were directly measured. The presence of the Thebesian valve was noted and the anatomical details of the valve were documented in each case in terms of the shape and extent of coverage of the CSO. Results: Considerable variations in the diameter of the CSO were observed. The mean craniocaudal diameter of the CSO was 8.1 ± 1.51 mm, and the mean transverse diameter was 7.67 ± 1.72 mm. Heart specimens without Thebesian valve tended to have larger ostia. The mean craniocaudal diameter and the mean transverse diameter of the CSO were statistically larger in the specimens without Thebesian valves (p = 0.000 and p = 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: The Thebesian valves were observed in 86 hearts, and a wide variety of their morphology was seen. The majority of the Thebesian valves were semilunar in shape (74.42%). The extent to which the valve covered the ostium was variable, including remnant valves that covered < 15% of the CSO (35%), and valves that were large and covered at least 75% of the CSO (22.09%). In 3 specimens the valve completely occluded the ostium. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
