3. Stereotaktična radioterapija za zdravljenje refraktarne prekatne tahikardije: prikaz primerovTamara Jarm, Krištof Knap, Bor Antolič, Boštjan Berlot, Rihard Hudej, Aljaša Jenko, Ajra Šečerov Ermenc, Jasna But-Hadžić, Ivica Ratoša, 2023, professional article Abstract: Stereotaktična radioterapija aritmij (STAR) predstavlja novo in obetavno možnost za bolnike z refraktarno prekatno tahikardijo, ki je odporna proti konvencionalnim metodam zdravljenja. STAR omogoča natančno neinvazivno ablacijo aritmogenega substrata ob minimalni prizadetosti sosednjih organov. Ta metoda zdravljenja je uporabna za bolnike, pri katerih je tarčno tkivo s katetrsko ablacijo nedosegljivo, pogosti šoki implantabilnega kardioverter-defibrilatorja pa močno nižajo njihovo kakovost življenja ali kadar sta ti metodi zdravljenja zaradi slabega zdravstvenega stanja kontraindicirani. Tarčo obsevanja (predel levega prekata) natančno opredelimo s predhodno slikovno diagnostiko, elektrokardiogramom, posnetki prekatne tahikardije in po potrebi invazivnim ali neinvazivnim elektrofiziološkim mapiranjem srca. Po pripravi na obsevanje na simulatorju sledi enkratno obsevanje z visokim odmerkom 25 Gy, ki je trenutno edina standardna frakcionacija. Bolniki obsevanje dobro prenašajo. Dosedanje raziskave so poročale o dobri učinkovitosti zdravljenja z bistvenim zmanjšanjem pogostosti epizod prekatne tahikardije in brez večjih neželenih učinkov. Poročamo o prvi skupini štirih bolnikov z visokorizično refraktarno prekatno tahikardijo, ki so bili zdravljeni s stereotaktično radioterapijo na Onkološkem inštitutu Ljubljana. Izvedba STAR se je izkazala kot učinkovita metoda z nizko stopnjo akutnih neželenih učinkov in predstavlja novo možnost obravnave te ranljive skupine bolnikov v slovenskem prostoru.

4. Mechanisms of premature fracture in modular neck stems made of CoCrMo/Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al4V/Ti6Al4V alloyDrago Dolinar, Miro Gorenšek, Klemen Avsec, Barbara Šetina, Matej Hočevar, Matjaž Godec, Borut Žužek, Mojca Debeljak, Monika Jenko, John T. Grant, Boštjan Kocjančič, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: In this paper, we present the mechanisms of premature fracture of modular neck stems in two case studies: (I) when the neck and stem are both made of the same Ti6Al4V alloy, and (II) when the neck and stem are made from two different alloys, CoCrMo and Ti6Al4V alloy. Our study integrates two orthopedic patients who have undergone primary uncemented THA for usual indications in two orthopedic centers (Community Health Centre and University Medical Centre). Both centers are part of the national public health care system. Both surgeries were performed by two skilled orthopedic surgeons with more than 10 years of experience in THA. The survivorship of the modular neck of cast CoCrMo alloy was 24 months. The survivorship of the modular neck from Ti6Al4V alloy was 84 months. Multivariate analyses were performed to assess the differences in the fretting, corrosion, and fatigue of the two prematurely failed modular neck stems: stereo light microscopy (SLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Patient demographic information, including sex, age, body mass index, survivorship of implants, and reason for the revision, was collected from medical records. We found that fretting and fatigue occurred on both neck-stem retrievals due to additional galvanic corrosion, but the CoCrMo/Ti6Al4V alloy system suffered more corrosion due to additional galvanic corrosion and fractured earlier than the Ti6Al4V/Ti6Al4V metal alloy system. Both metallic alloy systems used in this application are known to be highly corrosion-resistant, but the bio-tribo-corrosion processes need to be understood in detail and characterized so that appropriate improvements in design and materials can be made.

7. Recovery study of gold nanoparticle markers from lateral flow immunoassaysTilen Švarc, Peter Majerič, Darja Feizpour, Žiga Jelen, Matej Zadravec, Timi Gomboc, Rebeka Rudolf, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) are a simple diagnostic device used to detect targeted analytes. Wasted and unused rapid antigen lateral flow immunoassays represent mass waste that needs to be broken down and recycled into new material components. The aim of this study was to recover gold nanoparticles that are used as markers in lateral flow immunoassays. For this purpose, a dissolution process with aqua regia was utilised, where gold nanoparticles were released from the lateral flow immunoassay conjugate pads. The obtained solution was then concentrated further with gold chloride salt (HAuCl4) so that it could be used for the synthesis of new gold nanoparticles in the process of ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP). Various characterisation methods including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma were used during this study. The results of this study showed that the recovery of gold nanoparticles from lateral flow immunoassays is possible, and the newly synthesised gold nanoparticles represent the possibility for incorporation into new products.

10. Prognostic value of staging laparotomy in supradiaphragmatic clinical stage I and II Hodgkin's diseaseMarjeta Vovk, Tatjana Šumi-Križnik, Marija Jenko-Fidler, Gabrijela Petrič-Grabnar, Marinka Kremžar, Janez Novak, Mojca Senčar, Branko Zakotnik, Alenka Vodnik-Cerar, Branimir Jakšić, 1996, original scientific article Abstract: In the period 1974-1989, 219 patients with supradiaphragmatic clinical stage I and II Hodgkin's disease were treated at the Institute of Oncology in Ljubljana; of these 95 (43%) patients underwent staging laparotomy. Of laparotomized patients, those with pathological stage III-IV, and of non-laparotomized, those with unfavorable prognostic factors (B-symptoms, bulky mediastinum) received chemotherapy: the remaining patients were treated by irradiation. No statistically significant difference in the survival and disease-free survival between laparotomized and nonlaparotomized patients could be found.
