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, Ethnic differences in nutritional status in adolescents from Republic of North Macedonia(Macedonian Association of Anatomists and Morphologists, 2024-10-24); ; ; The aim of the study was to evaluateethnic differences of nutritional status among the adolescents from Republic of North Macedonia. This study included 2386 adolescents (1762 of Macedonian ethnic group and 624 of Albanian ethnic group) of both sexes, at the age from 11 to 18 years.Body height and weight were measured using standard equipment and measurement technique. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated (kg/m2)as anthropometric indicator for evaluating nutritional status in adolescents. We found ethnic differences in nutritional status in both male and female adolescents of both Macedonian and Albanian ethnic group. The percent of underweightadolescentsin the first group at the age from 11 to 14 years and in the second group at the age from 15 to 18 years was higher in Albanian adolescents in both sexes. On the other hand males and females of Macedonian ethnic group werewith higher percent with risk of obesityand overweightwith BMI≥95th percentile. There were statisticallysignificant differences in nutritional status in adolescents of both ethnic groups in Republic of North Macedoniaand the obtained values in our study are recommended to be applied for better understanding of deviations in growth and nutrition in both ethnic groups. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, THE IMPACT OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS ON GROWTH AND ANTHROPOMETRIC PARAMETERS IN CHILDREN(Macedonian Association of Anatomists and Morphologists, 2024); ; ; ; Evaluation of sex-specific differences of anthropometric parameters as impact of growth and nutritional status in preschool children from Macedonian nationality. The study included a total of 200 healthy 5-5.99 years-old preschool children from Macedonian nationality. Twelve anthropometric parameters were measured, defining longitudinal, circular and transversal dimensionality of the skeleton using standard technique and instruments for measurement. The following indices were selected and calculated: weight-for –age; height-for-age and BMI. Skin –folds (triceps, scapula and thigh) were also measured. Sex-specific differences for almost all anthropometric parameters were detected, but they were not significant. Boys showed higher values than girls regarding height, weight but for BMI were not significant. Values at the 50th percentile in boys were 20 kg for BW, 113.2 cm for BH and 15.94 kg/m². The values of these parameters in girls were 20 kg for BW, 115.4 cm for BH and 15.64 for kg/m² for BMI. The values for skin fold for biceps were higher in boys (10.6. ± 3.9) instead of girls (9.7 ± 3.3). The results obtained can be used for criteria for assessment and detecting deviations in growth and nutritional status in preschool children. - 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.
