Developing competitive and sustainable polish generic medicines market.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. To develop a competitive and sustainable market, Poland needs to consider moving away from competition by discount to competition by price. This could be achieved by replacing maximum distribution margins by fixed margins. Also, Poland may wish to raise reference prices as a temporary measure to boost market entry for medicine classes with few generic medicines.

Conclusion. HMGB1 was overexpressed in recurrent CSCCs. Serum HMGB1 level could be a useful and specific marker for evaluating the disease recurrence and predicting prognosis in patients with CSCC. Serial combined measurements of serum HMGB1, SCCA, and CYFRA21-1 increased the diagnostic specificity, and parallel combined testing increased the diagnostic sensitivity.

Consequences of untreated posttraumatic stress disorder following war in former yugoslavia: morbidity, subjective quality of life, and care costs.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. People with untreated war-related PTSD have a high risk of still having PTSD a decade after the traumatic event. Their SQOL is relatively low, and they generate considerable care costs. Factors that have been reported as influencing the occurrence of PTSD also appear relevant for recovery from PTSD. Current PTSD may impair SQOL independently of social factors.

Comparative study on self-perceived health of parents of children with autism spectrum disorders and parents of non-disabled children in Croatia.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Parents of children with ASD had poorer health than the control group in all components, except physical health. Because parents are the main providers of support for children with ASD, preserving parents' good health and well-being is a precondition for an optimal care for children. Therefore, current system for treating children with ASD in Croatia should also include permanent improvement of parents' health and well-being.

Validity of low copy number typing and applications to forensic science.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Low copy number (LCN) typing, particularly for current short tandem repeat (STR) typing, refers to the analysis of any sample that contains less than 200 pg of template DNA. Generally, LCN typing simply can be defined as the analysis of any DNA sample where the results are below the stochastic threshold for reliable interpretation. There are a number of methodologies to increase sensitivity of detection to enable LCN typing. These approaches encompass modifications during the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or post-PCR manipulations. Regardless of the manipulations, when processing a small number of starting templa...

Y-chromosome short tandem repeat intermediate variant alleles DYS392.2, DYS449.2, and DYS385.2 delineate new phylogenetic substructure in human Y-chromosome haplogroup tree.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Y-chromosome short tandem repeat intermediate variant alleles, while relatively rare, typically occur on multiple haplogroup backgrounds. This distribution indicates that such mutations arise at a rate generally intermediate to those of binary markers and STR loci. As a result, intermediate-sized Y-STR variants can reveal phylogenetic substructure within the Y-chromosome phylogeny not currently detected by either binary or Y-STR markers alone, but only when such variants are evaluated within a haplogroup context.
