Background Serostudies are important resources when following pandemics and predicting their further spread, as well as determining the length of protection against reinfection and vaccine development. The aim of this study was to update data on the prevalence of seropositive individuals in Canton Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) from Septemb...

Most common pathologic conditions in the alveolar bone derived from necrotic dental pulp are periapical inflammatory lesions (periapical granuloma and periapical cyst). The early diagnosis of lesions of the oral cavity is challenging for clinical practitioners. This research implements a computer-aided diagnostic system for classification of periap...

Objectives: The objective of this paper was to compare clinical diagnoses with histopathological diagnosis of periapical granulomas (PGs) and radicular cysts (RCs). Additionally, the objectives of the study were to evaluate grade of inflammation between lesion specimens, to evaluate anatomical distribution of periapical lesions (PL) and to determin...

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) may occur at any age. However, it mostly occurs during the second and third decades of life. Compared to other odontogenic cysts, this type occurs with a frequency of 5-15%. It is more common in the mandible region and in the male sex. Histologically, odontogenic keratocysts are characterized by the presence of an e...

The major challenge in cancer diagnosis is the number of patients who are incorrectly diagnosed. To address this, we have developed and tested different expert diagnostic systems which differentiate among patients with and without breast cancer based on samples describing characteristics of the cell nuclei present in the digitized image of a fine n...

Teeth are crucial for health and appearance. Loss of teeth leads to functional, psychological and esthetic issues. For many years, osseointegrated dental implants have been successfully used as a popular prosthetic restoration method for missing teeth. These implants have a direct connection with the alveolar bone, which can cause damage and affect...

Background/Aims The best treatment for an avulsed tooth is immediate replantation. If this is not possible, a proper transport medium is required for the maintenance of viability of the periodontal ligament cells (PDL).The aim was to systematically review the efficacy of different storage media used for the survival of PDL cells of avulsed teeth in...

Several association studies focusing on FTO gene polymorphisms have been published in the past years; however, the association between FTO-related conditions and FTO gene variants remains unexplained. Population genetics and association studies of different populations provide a valuable tool for further research. Thus, the aim of this systematic r...

Aim: The variable rate of the success of conventional endodontic surgery has led to the need for development of new techniques and instruments whereby classical endodontic surgery evolves into modern endodontic microsurgery. This article provides a systematic overview of the modern approach to surgical procedures in the domain of endodontic surgery...

This paper presents a review of different storage media and their efficiency in retaining periodontal ligament (PDL) cell vitality before replantation. After avulsion of a tooth, immediate replantation is recommended, however this is often not possible. Therefore, storage media that are affordable and readily available are required to avoid resorpt...

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are common mesenchymal neoplasms arising within the gastrointestinal tract from precursors of the connective-tissue cells. The objective of the study is to analyze immunohistochemical and histopathological features of GIST with a focus on CD117 expression as a relevant prognostic factor for ten-yea...

This paper presents a framework for the prediction of naphthalene concentrations in the liver and lung compartments of a micro cell culture analog apparatus (μCCA) using a microcontroller system based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The system can be used to simulate organ and circulatory system reactions in terms of residual naphthalene con...

The usage of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for the prediction of water pollution has been investigated more extensively over the past few years, and the reason is due to the ANNs efficiency at approximating complex functions. One particular way of designing an ANN used for treatment of water is to use the characteristics of the waste and polluti...

Bio-functionalization of nanoparticles with amino acids increases their biocompatibility and make them more efficient in delivery systems, especially in drug delivery and gene therapy. This can lead to development of new detection methods, in the field of clinical diagnostics, biosensors and DNA receptors. Alongside, understanding of the mechanism...

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among females, accounting for 23% of the total cancer cases and 14% of total cancer deaths. Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks, and contains tools for data pre-processing, classification, and visualization...

This paper presents a system for prediction of naphthalene concentration in the liver and lung compartments of a micro cell culture analog apparatus (µCCA) based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The implemented ANN can be used to simulate organ and circulatory system reactions in terms of residual naphthalene concentrations. For neural netwo...
