In the period from 2015 to 2020, an entomological survey for the presence of West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) in mosquitoes was performed in northwestern Croatia. A total of 20,363 mosquitoes were sampled in the City of Zagreb and Međimurje county, grouped in 899 pools and tested by real-time RT-PCR for WNV and USUV RNA. All pools were negative for WNV while one pool each from 2016 (Aedes albopictus), 2017 (Culex pipiens complex), 2018 (Cx. pipiens complex), and 2019 (Cx. pipiens complex), ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is among the most prevalent and debilitating autoimmune inflammatory chronic diseases. Although it is primarily characterized by destructive peripheral arthritis, it is a systemic disease, and RA-related extraarticular manifestations (EAMs) can affect almost every organ, exhibit a multitude of clinical presentations, and can even be asymptomatic. Importantly, EAMs largely contribute to the quality of life and mortality of RA patients, particularly substantially increased ...

Systemic sclerosis most commonly occurs in middle-aged patients.Younger or older people are rarely affected.it is very rare in people over the age of 80. in older patients, different clinical and laboratory characteristics of the disease, as well as a different therapeutic response are expected, in comparison to younger patients.Therefore, we present the case of an 84-year-old patient with systemic sclerosis, as well as a literature review in relation to this topic.

(Re-)emerging arboviruses, such as tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), West Nile virus (WNV), and Usutu virus (USUV), are continuously increasing in incidence. We analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of flavivirus infections in humans, sentinel animals, and mosquitoes detected in the 2022 transmission season in Croatia. From April to November 2022, 110 hospitalized patients with neuroinvasive diseases (NID) were tested for the presence of arboviruses. RT-qPCR was used to detect TBEV, WNV, ...

The diaphragm is the most important muscle in respiration. Nevertheless, its function is rarely evaluated. Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) could be at risk of diaphragmatic dysfunction because of multiple factors. These patients often develop interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and earlier studies have indicated that patients with different ILDs have decreased diaphragmatic mobility on ultrasound (US). This study aimed to evaluate diaphragmatic function in SSc patients using US with regard to ...

Background: Pleural irregularity visualized by ultrasound has a higher specificity for interstitial lung disease (ILD) than B lines. It is manifested as a loss of the normal hyperechoic pleural contour. Diaphragm mobility has not been studied so far in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Patients may have reduced diaphragm function due to ILD, disuse atrophy, malnutrition, corticosteroid therapy, etc. Aims and objectives: To investigate whether pleural irregularity is associated with diaphragm mobility in ...
