Immunohistochemical expression of podoplanin in renal cell carcinomas
Hannes Stoll
Objectives: The aim was to assess the immunohistochemical expression of PDPN/D2-40 in the three most common types of renal cell carcinoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC). Additionally, we wanted to determine if there is a correlation between cancer aggressivity and metastatic potential and an increase of PDPN expression in aforementioned tumors.

Johann Jakob Friedrich Strohmaier
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of AF in patients with severe MR after being treated by PMVR. Material and Methods: All patients who underwent PMVR with MitraClip for severe mitral regurgitation and were enrolled between 2016 and 2021 during a 5-year period were included in the registry study. Two groups of patients were created: one with AF (group A) and the other without (group B). Following this, there was a comparison of the two groups' clinical...
Impact of interventional cardiology under the influence of COVID-19
Impact of interventional cardiology under the influence of COVID-19
Franziska Leandra Kiefer
Background: With mitral regurgitation being the most common valve disease in the industrialized world, it affects roughly 10% of elderly over the age of 75 years. Due to demographic changes, its prevalence is thought to even increase in the future. TEER, particularly the MitraClip® system, is a suitable option for patients with an increased surgical risk. This thesis addresses the question of how the strained healthcare system during the pandemic has affected cardiological patients...

Imunohistokemijski izražaj E-kadherina u trostruko negativnim karcinomima dojke
Imunohistokemijski izražaj E-kadherina u trostruko negativnim karcinomima dojke
Ornella Bogdan
Cilj istraživanja. Karcinom dojke najčešći je maligni tumor u žena i važan javnozdravstveni problem diljem svijeta. Trostruko negativni karcinomi (TNBC) čine 10 do 20 % svih karcinoma dojke, karakterizirani su negativnim statusom receptora za steroidne hormone i HER-2-neu receptor, a povezuju se s agresivnijim kliničkim tijekom. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi imunohistokemijski izražaj E-kadherina u trostruko negativnim karcinomima dojke, te njegovu povezanost s...

Imunohistokemijski izražaj HIF-1α u inicijalno metastatskim i inicijalno nemetastatskim tumorima testisa
Imunohistokemijski izražaj HIF-1α u inicijalno metastatskim i inicijalno nemetastatskim tumorima testisa
Tea Livaja
Cilj istraživanja: Tumori testisa su relativno rijetki te čine tek 1-2% svih malignih tumora kod muškaraca. Unatoč tome, oni su najčešći maligni tumori muškaraca između 15 i 35 godina. Jednim od glavnih okolišnih čimbenika u patogenezi tumora testisa smatra se hipoksija, koja dovodi do aktivacije transkripcijskog faktora HIF-1α. U brojnim studijama uočena je korelacija HIF-1α i rezistencije na radio/kemoterapiju te metastatskog potencijala tumora. Prema tome, glavni cilj ovog...
