The importance of external version in breech presentation on frequency of caesarean section
-
Eva Drevenšek External cephalic version is a procedure in which fetus is manually turned into a cephalic presentation. Its importance lies in the fact that there is a high rate of caesareans section in breech presentation and this technique is used to achieve a cephalic position in which chances for a vaginal birth increase and the risk of caesarean section can be reduced. It is useful in breech and other non-cephalic presentations. It can be done at term or before term. Although recommended, its use it...

The influence of vacuum assisted closure therapy on bacterial growth and biofilm development in the wounds
-
Viviana Wahl Vacuum assisted closure therapy was developed for the needs of plastic surgery in the 90s. Primarily used for the treatment of patients with large chronic wounds, the usage nowadays extends to area of medicine and veterinary, for all types of large, chronic and infected wounds, where increased drainage of the exudate and help with wound closure is needed. Vacuum assisted closure therapy uses sub-atmospheric pressure between 50 and 200 mmHg which facilitates drainage of fluids, reduces...

The role of 3D computing planning in maxillofacial surgery
-
Alban Gecaj The role of 3D computing in reconstructive surgery is still not clearly established, yet the advancements of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and its implementation for various indications is slowly elucidating its purpose.
VSP consist of multiple techniques which are being used to complement surgery in its planning stage as well as during it. Such techniques can be divided into computer assisted surgery (CAS), computer assisted design (CAD) and computer assisted manufacturing (CAM)....

The role of DNA methylation in human spermatogenesis
-
Inbar Shafran What is the story behind the term “germ cell epigenetics”, what can we learn from the changes in methylation during gametogenesis, and how could it be put to good use? This thesis aims to explain how changes in the DNA methylation affects the development of primordial cells into mature sperm.
Methylation is the epigenetic process controlling what genes will be expressed and what genes will be silenced. Epigenetics can be viewed as the environmental inheritance we get from our ancestors....

The role of limosilactobacillus reuteri strains on human health
-
Adam Bošnjak In recent years the human gastrointestinal microbiota has proven to play a critical role in host health and disease. The majority of human microbiota resides in the large intestine and is composed of a diverse array of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea. Among these, Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly known as Lactobacillus reuteri), a gram-positive, heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium has gained attention as a probiotic due to its potential health benefits....

The role of platelet tests in detection of clopidogrel hyper-response after percutaneous coronary intervention
-
Michael John Grašić Clopidogrel is a PY212 antiplatelet medication which was shown to reduce mortality in patients post PCI. A percentage of the population has a resultant low platelet reactivity (LPR) or high platelet reactivity (HPR) while taking Clopidogrel. There is a connection between the LPR and increased rates of bleeding events as well as a connection between HPR and increased rates of ST events. We will examine bleeding avoidant strategies (BAS) which may be implemented to reduce bleeding event in...
