Historical Overview of the Human Population-Genetic Studies in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Small Country, Great Diversity
Coll Antropol. 2016 Jun;40(2):145-9.ABSTRACTModern Bosnia and Herzegovina is a multinational and multi-religious country, situated in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula in South-eastern Europe. According to recent archaeological fi ndings, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been occupied by modern humans since the Palaeolithic period. The structure of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s human populations is very complex and specifi c, due to which it is interesting for various population-genetic surveys. The population of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been the focus of bio-anthropological and population genetics studies since the 19th centu...

The Partnership of Public Health and Anthropology
Coll Antropol. 2016 Jun;40(2):151.ABSTRACTPublic health focuses on health of the population and it is concerned with threats to health based on population health analysis. Anthropology covers most aspects that concern human beings. Both sciences converge on community and this fact represents a foundation for the partnership between public health and anthropology. Biological/medical anthropology is one of the highly developed fi elds of anthropology and the most important for public health.PMID:29139632 (Source: Collegium Antropologicum)

Separated Children ’s Migration in the Mediterranean Sea. An Ethnohistorical Perspective
Coll Antropol. 2016 Sep;40(3):165-9.ABSTRACTIn the imaginary of Italian people, the Island of Lampedusa (Italy) has always been considered a paradise destination for summer holidays. The beauty of this small island at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, far from big harbors and cities, with its rich biodiversity and unspoilt nature, has made it a national and international tourist attraction. However, in recent years its name become associated with scenes of tragic, desperate journeys made by people of different origins trying to reach Europe from North African coasts. This shift exists not only in Italian people’s perce...

Roman Military Medicine and Croatian Archaeological Perspectives
This article offers a general examination of the sources responsible for understanding Roman military medicine, starting with literal and epigraphical sources all the way to archaeological remains consisting of hospitals, the infrastructure of military garrisons and small medical tools. Given that not one of the literary sources does not directly mention the medical personnel within the various military units, epigraphical discoveries widely represent the main source of our knowledge on the subject. On the other hand, the archaeological exploration of military garrisons offers proof of the medical care of Roman soldiers. I...

Changes in Blood Pressure After Single Bout of Aerobic Exercise in Young Healthy People- Influence of Body Composition
Coll Antropol. 2016 Sep;40(3):177-81.ABSTRACTAmount of change in blood pressure after exercise is related to risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in the amount of change of blood pressure after exercise among people with different morphological characteristics, especially with differences in percent of body fat. 30 healthy subjects (15 males and 15 females) aged 25-30 years were included in the study. They were measured for weight and height, and their body composition was assesed by bioelectrical impendance device GAYA 357. Blood pressure wa...

Effects of Trigeminal Nerve Dysfunction in Various Types of Headaches
Coll Antropol. 2016 Sep;40(3):183-8.ABSTRACTHeadaches are one of the most common ailments in modern society, leading to severe diminishing of general activities and they result in significant impact on the patient's quality of life. Blink reflex is an objective neurophysiological method for determining the status of the trigeminal system, facial nerve and the lateral part of medulla oblongata. The aim of this study was to examine the connection between trigeminal nerve dysfunction and various types of headaches using functional electrophysiological assessment of blink reflex tests in patients and controls. The sample compr...

Differences in Movement of Temporomandibular Joints in Athletes With and Without Orofacial Injuries
Coll Antropol. 2016 Sep;40(3):189-93.ABSTRACTAll sporting activities have an associated risk of orofacial injuries due to falls, collisions with players, devices, and hard surfaces. The purpose of this investigation was to determine is there alteration of condylar path and frontal guidance values in athletes with and without orofacial injuries. The sample consists of 34 athletes who were divided into two groups (Control and Examines group). "Control group" consists of 11 athletes without data of macrotrauma of the stomatognatic system (athletes who didn’t get blow to the face). The second group is "Examines group" witch ...

Diversity of Y-chromosomal and mtDNA Markers Included in Mediscope Chip within Two Albanian Subpopulations from Croatia and Kosovo: Preliminary Data
Coll Antropol. 2016 Sep;40(3):195-8.ABSTRACTThe aim of this preliminary study is to analyze genetic specificity of Kosovo Albanians comparing with neighboring populations using new genetic tool - MEDISCOPE gene chip, to investigate the feasibility of this approach. We collected 37 DNA samples (9 Croats, 17 Albanians from Croatia and 11 Albanians from Kosovo) from unrelated males born in Croatia and Kosovo. Additionally, samples were expanded with female individuals and mtDNA analysis included a total of 61 samples (15 Croats, 23 Albanians from Croatia and 23 Albanians from Kosovo). This pilot study suggests that the usage ...

Transnational and Intercultural Practices in the Adriatic Littoral of the Late Habsburg Empire
Coll Antropol. 2016 Sep;40(3):199-210.ABSTRACTThe paper describes the strategy of an interdisciplinary project on the patterns of transnational interactions and mobility that shaped intercultural dialogue in the south-eastern periphery of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire. Methodologically, it is structured around three interconnected analytic levels of institutions, associations and everyday life, that are mutually constitutive, and the exploration of three dimensions characterizing social spaces: social practices in different domains of life, symbolic system (focusing on language) and the use of artifacts, or material lif...

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) as a Marker of Clinical Disorders
Coll Antropol. 2016 Sep;40(3):211-8.ABSTRACTSex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is an important protein, not only for transporting sex steroids which is its primary role, but with the discovery of a specific receptor that binds SHBG, a novel approach regarding classic ‘free-hormone hypothesis’ should be implemented. Research in SHBG gene and it expression has been done, as well as cellular signaling that controls it. It provides significant knowledge of the impact of certain well –defined cellular level signaling pathways and how they affect the level of SHBG production. Moreover, new insights have proven that SHBG i...

The remote isolate of the Croatian littoral – 50 years of research on the island of Susak with new insights into its genetic diversity
Coll Antropol. 2017 Mar;41(1):11-8.ABSTRACTThis paper presents a review of the 50-year long anthropological and epidemiological research of the Susak population. Island of Susak is an example of extreme genetic isolate, with a very low level of heterozygosity and a significantly high level of inbreeding, due to the practice of endogamy. Its specific features have put the island in the focus of diverse research during the last five decades and in this study we additionally present new insights into the island’s maternal genetic heritage. For this purpose, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup diversity was defined based on...
