(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2017)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disorder influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, as well as their interactions. Since elevated oxidative stress and protease activity characterize ...
Association between regional heterogeneity in the mid-facial bone micro-architecture and increased fragility along Le Fort lines
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
Background/AimLe Fort lines have traditionally been considered as zones of weakness in the mid-facial skeleton although the structural basis of increased bone fragility at these sites has not yet been investigated. Considering ...

Objective: To investigate the incidence and identify risk factors for the occurrence of intraoperative hypertension (IOH) during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Subjects and Methods: The study included 269 ...
Does the Prevalence of Periodontal Pathogens Change in Elderly Edentulous Patients after Complete Denture Treatment?
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
Purpose: To determine if wearing complete dentures can cause changes in prevalence of some of the most common periodontal pathogens in elderly edentulous patients. The need for understanding the composition of oral microflora ...
Does Oxidative Stress Play a Role in Altered Characteristics of Diabetic Bone? A Systematic Review
(Springer, New York, 2017)
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been associated with increased bone fracture rates, impaired bone regeneration, delayed bone healing, and depressed osteogenesis. However, the plausible pathogenic mechanisms remain incompletely ...
Faecal occult blood screening for colorectal cancer in Serbia: a pilot study

Dental occlusion analysis in the Mesolithic-Neolithic Age, Bronze Age, and Roman to Medieval times in Serbia: Tooth size comparison in skeletal samples
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Objective: Anthropological studies have reported that tooth size decreases in the context of diet changes. Some investigations have found a reverse trend in tooth size from the prehistoric to the modern times. The aims of ...
Dynamics of beryllium-7 specific activity in relation to meteorological variables, tropopause height, teleconnection indices and sunspot number
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2017)
The dynamics of the beryllium-7 specific activity in surface air over 1987-2011 is analyzed using wavelet transform (WT) analysis and time -dependent detrended moving average (tdDMA) method, WT analysis gives four periodicities ...
