Malignant pleural mesotheliomas are rare tumors. Their occurrence is often associated with the exposure to asbestos. Asbestos is widely used in various industries as well as for many types of products in everyday use. In Croatia in the period from 1989 to 1998, the rate of incidence was 0.4-1.1/100,000. The highest rate of incidence was in the Districts of Istria (2.9) and Split-Dalmatia (2.5)....

BACKGROUND Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has received special attention in the spanish political agenda. Despite the importance of developed interventions, empirical evidence about their effectiveness is scarce. The aim of this study is to explore the temporary distribution of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) reports and murders and to identify possible changes in the risk of dying and reporti...

The mechanisms of flow-induced vascular remodeling are poorly understood, especially in the coronary microcirculation. We hypothesized that application of flow in small coronary arteries in organoid culture would cause a nitric oxide (NO)-mediated dilation and inhibit inward remodeling. We developed an organoid culture setup to drive a flow through cannulated arterioles at constant luminal pres...

To evaluate the food safety effect of NaCl-free processing, acidification, smoking and high pressure in QDS processed dry-cured ham, 3 ham types (non-acidified smoked, acidified, and acidified smoked) were produced according to a standard (-S) and a new NaCl-free (-F) process. Slices were spiked with Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica (three strains each, <2 log CFU/g), dried by the...

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) has been investigated and industrially applied to extend shelf life of meat-based products. Traditional ham packaged under microaerophilic conditions may sometimes present high lactic acid bacteria population during refrigerated storage, which limits shelf life due to development of unpleasant odor and greenish and sticky appearance. This study aimed at evaluatin...
