U ovom se radu razmatra podjela ribolovnih zona u Jadranu nakon potpisivanja Brijunske konvencije o ribolovu i njezina povezanost s prosinačkim incidentom u Maunskom kanalu. Početni dio rada daje ...pregled odredbi u vezi s ribolovom na Jadranu tijekom 19. stoljeća. Po opisu ozračja koje je vladalo nakon završetka Prvoga svjetskog rata i tijeka pregovora uoči konvencije obavljena je analiza talijanske verzije sporazuma u skladu s pratećim kartografskim izvorom. Konvencija je nastala kao rezultat višemjesečnih pregovora između Kraljevine Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca i Kraljevine Italije kojima se pristupilo nakon potpisivanja Rapallskog ugovora. S obzirom na to da je na temelju njegovih odredbi Italiji pripao veći dio Istre, Zadar te otoci Cres, Lošinj, Lastovo i Palagruža, došlo je do preklapanja interesnih sfera u ribolovu. Na dogovorene pregovore svaka je strana poslala priznate stručnjake za ribolovna pitanja koji su 14. rujna 1921. godine na Brijunima zaključili pregovore i potpisali sporazum. Njime je istočna obala Jadrana podijeljena na ribolovne zone različite kategorije pri čemu se načelno zadržalo isključivo pravo ribolova unutar jedne nautičke milje za obalno stanovništvo. Odstupanja su, zbog stoljetnih tradicija i diplomatskih ustupaka, primijenjena u pojedinim zonama među kojima se nalazio i Maunski kanal. Nepuna tri mjeseca nakon završetka pregovora jugoslavenske su vlasti na području između Mauna i Paga uhitile skupinu talijanskih ribara pod optužbom nepoštivanja ribolovnih zakona. Mjesto i vrijeme incidenta sagledani su kroz prizmu odnosa dviju država. Pritom je korištena talijanska verzija konvencije koja je u slučaju spora priznavana kao izvorna. Dostupni jugoslavenski izvori ne otkrivaju mnogo, no talijanska strana pokazala je velik interes za spomenuti incident koji je dobio prostor i u raspravi na sjednici talijanskog Parlamenta. Spomenuti događaj jedan je od primjera koji daje uvid u složene odnose dviju zemalja početkom dvadesetih godina 20. stoljeća i približava okolnosti u kojima je živjelo tadašnje stanovništvo istočne obale Jadrana.
This paper gives an overview of today's fisheries in Croatia and its role in management along the coast. First part of the paper provides an overview of the current world fisheries. The second part ...deals with Croatian fisheries, legal framework related to it and changes that happened after Croatia joined the European Union. As a member of the European Union Croatia was given a chance to explore new possibilities of development and to find its place on the European fishing market but certain changes proved to be a threat for traditional fishing. Changes are necessary and inevitable but many are raising a question on which changes should be accepted and which should be adjusted to local needs. The question of small scale fishing is a good example on which different interests encounter. European Union advises the implementation of integrated coastal zone management which promotes integrated activity on all levels as well as coordination in ecological, economical and social needs.

. In emergency departments, chest pain is a common concern, highlighting the critical importance of distinguishing between acute coronary syndrome and other potential causes. Our research aimed to ...introduce and implement the HEAR score, specifically, in remote emergency outposts in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This follow-up study conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort consisting of patients who were admitted to the remote emergency medicine outposts in Canton Sarajevo and Zenica from 1 November to 31 December 2023.
. This study comprised 103 (12.9%) patients with low-risk HEAR scores and 338 (83.8%) with high-risk HEAR scores, primarily female (221, 56.9%), with a mean age of 63.5 ± 11.2). Patients with low-risk HEAR scores were significantly younger (50.5 ± 15.6 vs. 65.9 ± 12.1), had fewer smokers (
< 0.05), and exhibited a lower incidence of cardiovascular risk factors compared to those with high-risk HEAR scores. Low-risk HEAR score for prediction of AMI had a sensitivity of 97.1% (95% CI 89.9-99.6%); specificity of 27.3% (95% CI 22.8-32.1%); PPV of 19.82% (95% CI 18.67-21.03%), and NPV of 98.08% (95% CI 92.80-99.51%). Within 30 days of the admission to the emergency department outpost, out of all 441 patients, 100 (22.7%) were diagnosed with MACE, with AMI 69 (15.6%), 3 deaths (0.7%), 6 (1.4%) had a CABG, and 22 (4.9%) underwent PCI. A low-risk HEAR score had a sensitivity of 97.0% (95% CI 91.7-99.4%) and specificity of 27.3% (95% CI 22.8-32.1%); PPV of 25.5% (95% CI 25.59-28.37%); NPV of 97.14% (95% CI 91.68-99.06%) for 30-day MACE.
. In conclusion, the outcomes of this study align with existing research, underscoring the effectiveness of the HEAR score in risk stratification for patients with chest pain. In practical terms, the implementation of the HEAR score in clinical decision-making processes holds significant promise.
Is live birth of patients with excessive slow (no blastocyst on day 5) and fast mitotic rate (full blastocyst development on day 4) comparable to a matched control standard (blastocyst formation on ...day 5)?
In this retrospective matched (age and anti-Müllerian hormone AMH) case-control study rates of fertilization, blastulation, implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth were compared in couples with male factor indication, prolonged embryo culture and fresh single morula and blastocyst transfer.
The rates of implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth in the slow-developing group were significantly (P < 0.001) lower (17.6%, 13.7%, and 11.8%, respectively) compared with the fast (58.5%, 52.5%, 47.5%) and normal growing counterparts (51.5%, 42.6%, 39.6%). No differences in neonatal outcome could be observed between the three groups. Sex ratio in the fast-growing group was not different from the other cohorts.
Extremely slow development, as assessed by the absence of blastulation on day 5, is a negative predictor of pregnancy and live birth. In contrast, the fear that extremely fast-growing embryos may represent an aneuploid cohort of embryos is unsubstantiated. Day-4 full blastocysts can preferentially be considered for transfer.
Background: Chest pain represents a prevalent complaint in emergency departments (EDs), where the precise differentiation between acute coronary syndrome and alternative conditions assumes paramount ...significance. This pilot study aimed to assess the HEART score’s implementation in West Balkan EDs. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on a prospective cohort comprising patients presenting with chest pain admitted to EDs in Sarajevo, Zenica, and Belgrade between July and December 2022. Results: A total of 303 patients were included, with 128 classified as low-risk based on the HEART score and 175 classified as moderate-to-high-risk. The low-risk patients exhibited younger age and a lower prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. Laboratory and anamnestic findings revealed higher levels of C-reactive protein, ALT, and creatinine, higher rates of moderately to highly suspicious chest pain history, a greater number of cardiovascular risk factors, and elevated troponin levels in moderate-to-high-risk patients. Comparatively, among patients with a low HEART score, 2.3% experienced MACE, whereas those with a moderate-to high-risk HEART score had a MACE rate of 10.2%. A moderate-to-high-risk HEART score demonstrated a sensitivity of 91.2% (95%CI 90.2–93.4%) and specificity of 46.5% (95%CI 39.9–48.3%) for predicting MACE. Conclusion: This pilot study offers preliminary insights into the integration of the HEART score within the emergency departments of the West Balkan region.
To study the origin and temporal behaviour of cytoplasmic strings spanning the blastocoel (main objective) and their influence on treatment outcome (secondary objective).
This retrospective analysis ...of prospectively collected data was set up in a university medical centre. Patients who either underwent fresh (n = 95) or vitrified–warmed (n = 55) single blastocyst transfer were included. Time-lapse sequences of in-vitro developed blastocysts were screened for the presence of cytoplasmic strings. Pregnancies in string-positive and string-negative transfers were followed up to live birth.
A total of 387 blastocysts were obtained in the fresh cycles of 100 patients, corresponding to a blastocyst formation rate of 62.4%. Cytoplasmic strings were first detected around full stage (108.5 ± 6.4 h) in 170 blastocysts (43.9%). The number of strings varied (range: 1–7) and the duration of visibility was 5.2 ± 3.5 h. The occurrence of cytoplasmic strings was significantly associated with the presence of blastocoelic collapses (P < 0.001) but not with any of the annotated morphokinetic parameters. Live birth and neonatal outcome were the same for both string-positive and string-negative pregnancies. Moreover, collapses did not affect treatment outcome.
Time-lapse analysis of cytoplasmic strings at the blastocyst stage revealed that this morphological feature was not a negative predictor as previously reported. Although physiologically normal, at least some of the cytoplasmic strings are an artefact, possibly associated with blastocoelic collapses.
