    Abstract The development of new materials is essential for advancing technology and improving the quality of life. With new materials, we can create products that are stronger, more durable, and more efficient. The ongoing research and development of new materials for 3D printing applications continue to drive innovation in various fields, leading to improved products and processes with great benefits. The main goal of this work was to produce a functional filament with a 1.75-mm diameter that may be used for 3D printing. Composite materials were prepared using a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin as polymer matrix, and titanium dioxide (TiO

    Abstract Anthropogenic radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) from wireless technologies has increased dramatically. The boar semen used for artificial insemination is essential in sustaining the pig industry, and additionally it is also exposed to the effects of the RF-EMR of wireless technologies. Furthermore, there are no data on the effects of RF-EMR on semen quality, and this is the first analysis of sperm's morphometric parameters for assessing the effect of RF-EMR on the spermatozoa subpopulations of boars. This study investigated the effect of RF-EMR on in vitro exposed breeding boar semen spermatozoa motility and the proportions of spermatozoa subpopulations according to their morphometric head and tail parameters. The semen samples of 12 boars were divided into control and experimental groups. The samples in the experimental group were exposed in a gigahertz transverse electromagnetic chamber at a frequency of 2500 MHz (the frequency band used in 5G technology) and an electric field strength of 10 Vm

    Abstract Laugier-Hunziker syndrome (LHS) is a rare, benign and acquired disorder characterized by hyperpigmentation of the oral cavity and lips along with longitudinal melanonychia. No underlying systemic abnormalities or malignant predisposition is associated with it. In everyday clinical practice, an endocrinologist encounters certain endocrine conditions (e.g. Addison's disease, McCune-Albright syndrome) that present with, inter alia, mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation. Even though LHS is easily distinguished from endocrine entities mentioned earlier, diagnostic evaluation usually requires skilled and thorough practitioner. Since it is the diagnosis of exclusion, a number of systemic conditions must be ruled out prior to making the final diagnosis. However, its major differential diagnosis is primarily Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, which carries an increased risk of cancer. Here, we report a case of a young woman who was referred to the endocrinologist for diagnostic evaluation of dark-colored lesions of the oral cavity and nails. All performed laboratory tests were within reference range. Endoscopic gastrointestinal evaluation did not reveal neoplastic formations. Owing to an adult-onset, asymptomatic clinical course and negative diagnostic findings, we made a final diagnosis. In this case, target diagnostic evaluation notably reduced the need for additional expensive and invasive procedures and treatments.
    Learning points: Laugier-Hunziker syndrome is a rare, acquired cause of asymptomatic, benign mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation.Prior to making a final diagnosis, certain medical entities with overlapping clinical features must be excluded.Endocrine conditions that usually present with the hyperpigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes (e.g. Addison's disease, McCune-Albright syndrome) can be easily ruled out based on clinical and laboratory findings.Its major differential diagnosis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is characterized by melanotic macules of the face and mouth, intestinal polyposis and significantly increased risk of different types of cancer, especially gastrointestinal.Anamnesis, physical examination and target diagnostic evaluation reduce the need for additional invasive and expensive procedures and treatment.

    Abstract We present a case of transient form of type 1 pseudohypoaldosteronism (S-PHA) in a 1.5-month-old male infant who presented with lethargy, failure to thrive, severe hyponatremia (Na=118 mmol/L), hypochloremia (Cl=93 mmol/L) and fever due to urinary tract infection. Potassium levels were normal. Markedly elevated serum aldosterone level and elevated serum renin confirmed the diagnosis of pseudohypoaldosteronism. Renal ultrasound showed grade III hydronephrosis on the left kidney while contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography excluded the existence of vesicoureteral reflux, which raised suspicion of obstructive uropathy at the level of vesicoureteral junction. Serum sodium normalized after several days of intravenous fluids and antibiotic therapy, after which oral supplementation of sodium was introduced. The levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol and thyroid-stimulating hormone were normal. Functional magnetic resonance urography conducted at the age of 3 months confirmed the diagnosis of primary congenital obstructive megaureter and the infant was referred to a pediatric surgeon. Although a rare occurrence, S-PHA can be a potentially life-threatening condition in infants if not recognized and treated appropriately. Therefore, serum concentrations of electrolytes should be obtained in every child diagnosed with obstructive anomaly of the urinary tract and/or acute cystopyelonephritis. On the other hand, every child diagnosed with S-PHA should be evaluated for obstructive anomaly of the urinary tract.

    Abstract - The purpose of the present study was to examine the association among the risk of eating disorder (ED), psychological adjustment, empathy, attachment style and thin-ideal internalization among adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN), as compared to a healthy control (HC) group. The Questionnaire of General Data, the Eating Disorders Inventory-3 (EDI-3), the Questionnaire of Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance-3 (SATAQ-3), the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) and the Basic Empathy Scale (BES) were administered to 35 female adolescents with AN and 35 HC adolescents. Eating disorder risk was found to be highest in AN females with higher levels of general psychological maladjustment (GPMC), followed by HC females with higher thin-ideal internalization. In the AN group, attachment style and thin-ideal internalization in combination with GPMC were not indicated as significant predictors of eating disorder risk. Study data provide support to conceptualizations of EDs that emphasize the role of general psychological maladjustment in the development of EDs.

    Abstract Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a body composition assessment method. We aimed to determine its accuracy in the detection of sarcopenia in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), using skeletal muscle index (SMI) at the level of third lumbar vertebra (L3-SMI) obtained using multislice computed tomography as the reference method. Patients with LC were enrolled in the period October 2019-March 2022 and follow-ups were conducted until January 2023. Their BIA parameters were compared against L3-SMI, and BIA cut-off values were proposed using AUROC analysis. Patients underwent outcome analysis based on obtained clinical characteristics. A total of 106 patients were included. We found a fair correlation between BIA parameters with the L3-SMI. We determined cut-off values of ≤11.1 kg/m
