251. Starostniki v statusih animarum župnije Zgonik v dolgem 19. stoletjuVojko Pavlin, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Župnija Zgonik je najjužnejši izrastek goriške nadškofije v širšem kraškem zaledju tržaškega mesta. Prispevek obravnava demografske značilnosti starostnikov te župnije v dolgem 19. stoletju na osnovi treh statusov animarum. Delež starejših se je gibal okoli desetih odstotkov celotne populacije in je le polagoma naraščal, pretežno zaradi naraščanja števila starostnikov v šestdesetih letih starosti. Daleč največ starostnikov je umiralo »zaradi starosti«, pri čemer se je delež tega vzroka smrti na začetku 20. stoletja celo zopet povečal.

255. Jugoslavija i ambivalentnost ekonomske saradnje Jug-Jug u sedamdesetim i osamdesetim godinamaJure Ramšak, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Na vrhuncu napora zemalja u razvoju da uspostave Novi međunarodni ekonomski poredak, Jugoslavija je, kao jedna od vodećih članica Pokreta nesvrstanih i Grupe 77 zemalja u razvoju (G-77), nastojala da dokaže da je moguće uspostaviti novi obrazac odnosa između industrijski razvijenih zemalja, kojima je delimično i sama pripadala i saveznika iz ove koalicije, čije su ekonomske baze još uvek bile u fazi izgradnje. U skladu sa određenim dominantnim grupama unutar UN-a, jugoslovenska teorija razvoja spajala je marksistička sa neoklasičnim ekonomskim shvatanjima u ambiciozan program globalne reforme koja je odstupala od stavova kapitalističkih i socijalističkih velesila. Ipak, u isto vreme, ova vizija globalizacije morala je da se nosi sa ideološkim, geopolitičkim i ekonomskim uticajem novonastale neoliberalne revolucije, koja je početkom osamdesetih počela bitno sužavati prostor za manevrisanje. Pored programskih načela sadržanih u zvaničnim dokumentima, ovaj rad prati i konkretne oblike jugoslovenske bilateralne ekonomske saradnje sa pojedinim afričkim zemljama.

257. Evolution of RMA in SloveniaPrimož Petek, Tjaša Baloh, Vanda Baloh, 2024, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: This chapter outlines the research management and administration (RMA) as a profession and work field in Slovenia. Thus, we present an overview of the Slovenian research system, describing how this system has evolved over time. In addition, we explain the emerging need for RMA skills, including its self-organisation component and the challenges that lie ahead. A section is dedicated to Slovenian RMA demographics using RAAAP-2 and RAAAP-3 surveys. The conclusions of the chapter focus on a forecast for the future of RMA in Slovenia and several possible paths to follow for its community.

258. Excellent outcomes after radiotherapy alone for malignant spinal cord compression from myelomaDirk Rades, Antonio J. Conde-Moreno, Jon Cacicedo, Barbara Šegedin, Volker Rudat, Steven E. Schild, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: Uncertainty exists whether patients with spinal cord compression (SCC) from a highly radiosensitive tumor require decompressive spinal surgery in addition to radiotherapy (RT). This study addressed the question by evaluating patients receiving RT alone for SCC from myeloma. Patients and methods. Data of 238 patients were retrospectively analyzed for response to RT and local control of SCC. In addition, the effect of RT on motor function (improvement, no further progression, deterioration) was evaluated. Overall response was defined as improvement or no further progression of motor dysfunction. Prior to RT, patients were presented to a neurosurgeon for evaluation whether upfront decompressive surgery was indicated (e.g. vertebral fracture or unstable spine). Results. In the entire cohort, the overall response rate was 97% (53% improvement plus 44% no further progression). Following RT, 88% of the patients were able to walk. Of the 69 non-ambulatory patients 44 patients (64%) regained the ability to walk. Local control rates at 1, 2 and 3 years were 93%, 82% and 82%, respectively. A trend towards better local control was observed for patients who were ambulatory before starting RT (p = 0.08) and those with a more favorable performance status (p = 0.07). Conclusions. RT alone provided excellent response rates, functional outcomes and local control in patients with SCC from myeloma. These results should be confirmed in a prospective randomized trial.

259. Uncertainties in target volume delineation in radiotherapy : are they relevant and what can we do about them?Barbara Šegedin, Primož Petrič, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: Modern radiotherapy techniques enable delivery of high doses to the target volume without escalating dose to organs at risk, offering the possibility of better local control while preserving good quality of life. Uncertainties in target volume delineation have been demonstrated for most tumour sites, and various studies indicate that inconsistencies in target volume delineation may be larger than errors in all other steps of the treatment planning and delivery process. The aim of this paper is to summarize the degree of delineation uncertainties for different tumour sites reported in the literature and review the effect of strategies to minimize them. Conclusions. Our review confirmed that interobserver variability in target volume contouring represents the largest uncertainty in the process for most tumour sites, potentially resulting in a systematic error in dose delivery, which could influence local control in individual patients. For most tumour sites the optimal combination of imaging modalities for target delineation still needs to be determined. Strict use of delineation guidelines and protocols is advisable both in every day clinical practice and in clinical studies to diminish interobserver variability. Continuing medical education of radiation oncologists cannot be overemphasized, intensive formal training on interpretation of sectional imaging should be included in the program for radiation oncology residents.

260. Electrochemotherapy with bleomycin is effective in BRAF mutated melanoma cells and interacts with BRAF inhibitorsTanja Jesenko, Lara Prosen, Maja Čemažar, Tjaša Potočnik, Gregor Serša, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: The aim of the study was to explore the effectiveness of electrochemotherapy (ECT) during the treatment of melanoma patients with BRAF inhibitors. Its effectiveness was tested on BRAF mutated and non-mutated melanoma cells in vitro and in combination with BRAF inhibitors. Materials and methods. ECT with bleomycin was performed on two human melanoma cell lines, with (SK-MEL-28) or without (CHL-1) BRAF V600E mutation. Cell survival was determined using clonogenic assay to determine the effectiveness of ECT in melanoma cells of different mutation status. Furthermore, the effectiveness of ECT in concomitant treatment with BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib was also determined in BRAF mutated cells SK-MEL-28 with clonogenic assay. Results. The survival of BRAF V600E mutated melanoma cells was even lower than non-mutated cells, indicating that ECT is effective regardless of the mutational status of melanoma cells. Furthermore, the synergistic interaction between vemurafenib and ECT with bleomycin was demonstrated in the BRAF V600E mutated melanoma cells. Conclusions. The effectiveness of ECT in BRAF mutated melanoma cells as well as potentiation of its effectiveness during the treatment with vemurafenib in vitro implies on clinical applicability of ECT in melanoma patients with BRAF mutation and/or during the treatment with BRAF inhibitors.
