    Abstract Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the acute effect of ultrafiltration on the mechanical properties of the aorta using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) before and after hemodialysis (HD).
    Patients and methods: This study included 80 patients who were on a long-term HD program. The input variables were anamnestic data, body composition monitor (BCM) parameters, and echocardiography findings. The assessment of hydration status was determined by BCM, whose work is based on the principle of multifrequency bioimpedance spectroscopy. Another diagnostic procedure was the use of an arteriograph apparatus to assess PWV and Augmentation Index (AIx). All measurements were performed before and after dialysis on the middle dialysis day of the week.
    Results: The participants were divided into two groups based on hydration status: the experimental group consisted of 40 overhydrated participants and the control group consisted of 40 normovolemic participants. Statistically, the following BCM parameters correlated significantly positively with PWV: total body fat (
    Conclusion: Overhydration showed an effect on brachial-ankle PWV before and after HD, and brachial-ankle PWV should be followed in HD patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Chronic renal failure (CRF) represents a serious medical problem. Numerous studies have shown increased body mass index (BMI) as an independent risk factor when it comes to the occurrence and development of CRF.
    Material and methods: The sample in our prospective study presents a total of 150 patients: 30 for each CRF stage (stages I-IV) and 30 patients in the control group. This study did not include patients in the terminal stage of chronic renal failure (stage V), as well as patients with newly diagnosed diabetes. Body mass index-BMI was calculated using the formula BMI=weight/height(2) (kg/m(2)). In accordance with the K/DOQI guidelines patients were divided into four CRF stages.
    Results: In our study there is a predominance of female patients. The mean age of patients was 55.43 years. Most of the patients had a BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m(2). We did not find significant correlation between BMI and the development or CRF.
    Conclusions: We did not find correlation between increased body mass index (BMI) and the occurrence or development of CRF in persons without diabetes.

    Abstract Background: Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are congenital variations of one or more of the coronary arteries and they are an uncommon but important cause of chest pain and, in some cases, sudden cardiac death. Anomalies of coronary arteries may be found incidentally in 0.3-1% of healthy individuals. The three types of coronary artery anomalies are anomalies of origin, anomalies of course and anomalies of termination. The purpose of our study was to estimate the frequency of CAAs in Canton Sarajevo, B&H, and to deteremine the prevalence of origin, course and termination anomalies of coronary arteries.
    Subject and methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 919 patients who underwent Coronary CT Angiography to determine CAAs in the period from 2013 to 2017.
    Results: In our study, total number of CAAs have been found among the 130 patients (14.12%) out of which anomalies of origin are found at 14 patients (1.52%), anomalies of course at 115 patients (12.5%) and anomaly of termination in 1 patient (0.1%). Out of 14 cases in total anomalies of origin, anomalies of origin of the left coronary artery are observed among 11 patients (1.2%), and anomalies of origin of the right coronary artery among 3 patients (0.3%). From mentioned 14 cases of the anomalous origin of the coronary arteries, anomalies with clinical significance (interarterial, malignant course) of the coronary arteries are found among 6 patients (0.65%) and anomalies without clinical significance are found among 8 patients (0.87%). Coronary artery anomalies of origin with malignant course are devided in two groups: LMA from right sinus of Valsalva with interarterial course observed in 4 patients (0.43%) and RCA from left sinus of Valsalva, also with interarterial course in 2 patients (0.21%). We found 4 patients (0.43%) with separated origin LAD and LCX, without LMA. The preavlence rates of separate origin of RCA and conus artery, anomaly origin of the LCX from right coronary sinus, anomaly origin of the LMA from posterior coronary sinus and LMA from right coronary sinus without interarterial course were seen in 0.1% of patients. Among 115 cases of anomalies of course 111 cases (12.07%) belongs to bridging (37 cases to LAD; 25 cases to D1 and D2 and 49 to ramus intermedius), and 4 cases (0.43%) belongs to intraatrial course of RCA. Anomaly of termination presented with fistula between LCX and coronary sinus was found only in 1 case.
    Conclusion: Coronary CT angiography is an excellent tool for diagnosis of CAAs regarding origin, course and termination of the coronary arteries.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the results and complication rate in CT guided percutaneous trans-thoracic fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) and core biopsies of lung lesions, and to determine the applicability of these needles.
    Patients and methods: In 242 patients (166 males; 76 females) with mean age of 58.9 years (13-84 years) CT guided biopsies of lung lesions were performed on dual slice CT equipment. The average diameter of lung lesion was 2.9 cm (1.2-6.3 cm). For FNAB's 20 - 22 G Chiba needles and for core biopsies 14 G biopsy needles were used. The samples were sent for the histological analysis. The cytological or histological results and the eventual complications were compared.
    Results: FNAB's cytological samples were adequate for definitive diagnosis in 117 patients (79.60 %) and inadequate in 30 patients (20.40 %). Core biopsies samples were adequate in 92 (96.85 %) patients and non- representative (necrotic tissue) in 3 (3.15 %). Pneumothorax as the most frequent complication was detected in 14 (9.7 %) of the patients in the group of FNAB's and in 30 (31.5 %) of the patients with the core biopsy group.
    Conclusions: The results showed that percutaneous transthoracic CT guided biopsies of lung lesions were an effective and safe procedure in the diagnosis of lung lesions. Core biopsy gives a higher percentage of representative samples than FNAB, and is a preferred method regardless of the higher rate of complications.
