The aim of this study was to determine effect of diet-based seasonal changes on fatty acid composition of Jersey milk in mountain region of Croatia. Bulk milk samples (200 mL) were collected during ...total-mixed ratio (TMR)-based, intermediate and pasture-based diet. Fatty acid composition of milk was determined by gas-chromatography. We found that pasture-based diet has positive effect on fatty acid composition of Jersey milk considering human nutrition. During pasture-based diet, Jersey cows produced milk with lower (P<0.05) saturated fatty acid and higher (P<0.05) polyunsaturated fatty acid content. Namely, regarding individual fatty acids, milk produced during pasture-based diet had lower (P<0.05) C16:0 and higher (P<0.05) C18:2n-6, C18:3n-6 and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) content than milk produced during TMR and intermediate diet. Milk produced during pasture-based diet can be valuable source of health-beneficial PUFA in diet.
Neurological manifestations with basal ganglia involvement following
stings are rare and clinically ill-defined conditions. We present a patient with acute parkinsonism non-responsive to levodopa, ...who developed striatal lesions after a hornet sting. We report his response to immunomodulatory treatment and subsequent clinical and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) follow-up. We also searched the literature for patients with acute extrapyramidal syndromes following an insect sting. Fourteen cases have been published; 12 of them are reviewed here. The majority of cases presented with symmetric akinetic syndrome with axial rigidity and/or gait impairment. Six patients were treated with levodopa and only two of these had a modest response to therapy. Brain MRI/computed tomography scan revealed lesions of the basal ganglia, which resulted in fatal outcome in four patients, whereas only one achieved complete recovery. Clinicians should be aware of this rare but devastating cause of acute-onset parkinsonism and specific clinical presentation of this condition, and should consider prompt and prolonged immunomodulatory treatment to prevent irreversible basal ganglia damage.
GC and MS were used for the analysis of Croatian Centaurium erythraea Rafn essential oil (obtained by hydrodistillation) and headspace (applying headspace solid-phase microextraction). The headspace ...contained numerous monoterpene hydrocarbons (the major ones were terpinene-4-ol, methone, p-cymene, γ-terpinene and limonene). Oxygenated monoterpenes were present in the headspace and oil, while 1,8-cineole, bornyl acetate and verbenone were present only in the headspace. High headspace percentages of toluene and naphthalene were found, followed by hemimellitene. Lot of similarities were observed with Serbian C. erythraea oil neophytadiene (1.4%), thymol (2.6%), carvacrol (6.1%) and hexadecanoic acid (5.7%), but different features were also noted such as the presence of menthol, menthone and phytone. The oil fractionation enabled identification of other minor compounds not found in total oil such as norisoprenoides, alk-1-enes or chromolaenin. The essential oil showed antimicrobial potential on Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. On the other hand, no antibacterial activity of the oil was observed on Pseudomonas fluorescens and Lysteria monocytogenes.
Maize (Zea mays) is one of the most important crops in the world, with nitrogen (N) fertilization being the most expensive input in its production. Based on a favorable variability, production costs ...can be reduced by the means of selection for nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). This study aims to analyze the variability in the collection of maize lines in terms of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and to identify the loci associated with the yield and grain moisture. The Agricultural Institute Osijek diversity panel comprises of 1,346 maize inbred lines genes with 56,000 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers. The experiment was carried out with 109 selected inbreds, based on their performance in the long–term trials. The selected inbreds were testcrossed to a common tester from the Iodent heterotic group. The experiments in three nitrogen environments were carried out in 2023: N0 (no nitrogen fertilization), N69 (low nitrogen supply), and Nfull (sufficient nitrogen supply). Association mapping revealed varying associations between the SNPs and the yield/moisture under different nitrogen treatments, highlighting the influence of nitrogen stress on genetic mechanisms governing these traits. The research contributes valuable insights into maize adaptability to nitrogen levels, aiding in the development of strategies for stable and high–yield maize production.
Kukuruz (Zea mays) jedna je od najvažnijih kultura u svijetu, pri čemu je gnojidba dušikom najskuplji trošak proizvodnje. Na osnovi povoljne varijabilnosti, troškovi proizvodnje mogu se smanjiti selekcijom glede efikasnosti korištenja dušika (NUE). Ovo istraživanje ima za cilj analizirati varijabilnost u kolekciji linija germplazme kukuruza u pogledu efikasnosti korištenja dušika (NUE) i identificirati lokuse povezane s prinosom i vlagom zrna. Poljoprivredni institut Osijek u okviru svoje oplemenjivačke germplazme sadrži 1346 inbred linija kukuruza genotipiziranih s 56 000 SNP (oznaka kratice na hrvatskome i na engleskom) markera. Eksperiment je proveden s odabranih 109 linija na temelju njihovih rezultata u dugogodišnjim ispitivanjima. Odabrane linije testirane su zajedničkim testerom heterotične skupine Iodent. Ispitivanja su provedena 2023. godine i uključivala su tri scenarija opskrbljenosti dušikom: N0 (bez gnojidbe dušikom), N69 (niska opskrba dušikom) i Nfull (dovoljna opskrba dušikom). Asocijativno mapiranje otkrilo je različite asocijacije između pojedinačnih polimorfizama nukleotida i prinosa/vlage pod različitim uvjetima dušika, ističući utjecaj dušičnoga stresa na genetičke mehanizme koji upravljaju tim karakteristikama. Istraživanje pruža vrijedne uvide u prilagodljivost kukuruza razinama dušika, što pomaže u razvoju strategija za stabilnu i visokoprinosnu proizvodnju kukuruza.
Background/Aim. Oral health is an integral part of general health and an important factor in the overall quality of life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dental caries ...among the children from the SOS Children?s Village in Croatia. Methods. The dental examinations based on the World Health Organization criteria were performed on 88 children from SOS Children?s Village in Croatia. The teeth were clinically examined with standard dental instruments using the visual-tactile method under standard light. The clinical indexes of decayed, missed, and filled (dmft and DMFT, for primary and permantnt teeth, respectively) and decayed, missed, and filled surfaces (DMFS), as well as the significant caries index (SiC) were recorded. Results. Among the children from the SOS Children?s Village caries incidence were 57.94%. The mean dmft, DMFT and DMFS of all children was 1.82, 1.90 and 2.82, respectively. The highest mean dmft and DMFT score of 4.24 and 2.56 was found among 7?10 and 11?14 years old children, respectively. The highest mean DMFS score of 3.85 and 3.90 was found among 11?14 years old children and among the children from the SOS Children?s Village Lekenik, respectively. Among all children, the SiC index was 4.69. There was a significant difference between age groups and children?s place of residence in DMFT, DMFS and SiC. Conclusion. Prevalence of dental caries is low among the children from the SOS Children?s Village in Croatia compared to the children who lived with biological families.

Aim: An intrauterine device (IUD), used by millions of women worldwide, is one of the most efficient methods of contraception. The goal of our study was to compare a group of women using the IUD to ...a control group.
Material & Methods: The survey included 236 women of fertile age from gynaecological practices in the area of Split and Dalmatia County, Croatia. The subjects were divided into two groups: IUD users and a control group (women not using any contraception methods). Sampling, transportation, sample processing in the laboratory and interpretation of results were conducted using standard microbiological procedures and methods.
Results: Opportunistic bacteria were statistically more frequently isolated among IUD users (P < 0.001). The most frequently isolated bacteria in both groups were Escherichia coli and Ureaplasma urealyticum with significantly higher rates in IUD users (P < 0.001). Both colonization and infection had higher rates in IUD users (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences either in the frequency of bacteria isolation regarding different IUD types (P = 0.93), or in relation to duration of IUD use (P = 0.67).
Conclusions: Based on the data in our study IUD users have an increased chance of developing a cervical infection caused by the bacteria Escherichia coli and Ureaplasma urealyticum. Therefore, before IUD insertion women should be screened and treated for asymptomatic vaginal or cervical infections to prevent possible serious IUD‐associated infections.
Depth estimation is an important task in robotics and autonomous driving. By estimating depth and relying only on a single camera, it is no longer necessary to add and calibrate additional sensors - ...usually a second camera. However, such an approach requires training on extensive datasets and obtaining real-world datasets is time consuming and costly. Given that, using photorealistic simulators can be beneficial, since a multitude of varoius scenes can be created. In this paper we present an approach to training a deep neural network based on the ResNet architecture for estimating depth from a single camera. We target road vehicle scenes and use the CARLA simulator. We evaluate the trained network on the real-world KITTI dataset images and in the CARLA simulator. In the simulated experiments, we compare the performance with respect to the changes in camera intrinsic and extrinsic calibration parameters with respect to the ego vehicle frame.
