Anatomical and functional study of the musculus psoas major and nervus femoralis in correlation with pelvic diameters by Vojvodić Aleksandar, Matić Aleksandar, Mihailović Jelena, Bjelogrlić Predrag, Puškaš Laslo, Stijak Lazar, Aleksić Dubravka, Filipović Branka, Vukomanović-Đurđević Biserka, Kapor Slobodan

“…Based on our results, we can assume that, in most cases, due to the smaller bituberal and bispinal line or narrower pelvis, a shorter proximal attachment of the m. psoas major will occur with greater width (L2–L5 level) in the female than in the male gender, resulting in a longer vertical distance of n. femoralis. …”

COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT METHODS OF ANTI-HLA ANTIBODIES DETECTION IN DIAGNOSIS OF ANTIBODY-MEDIATED RENAL ALLOGRAFT REJECTION by E. S. Ivanova, E. S. Stolyarevich, O. E. Gichkun, N. B. Bogdanova, F. S. Baranova, L. Yu. Artyukhina, N. A. Tomilina

“…Screening of anti-HLA antibodies (by ELISA and LUMINEX) along with specifi c renal pathology and C4d deposition is suffi cient for the diagnosis of acute and chronic AMR in most cases. Being more sensitive LUMINEX method is preferable for the revealing of C4d-negative AMR, but it requires specifi c DSA detection in many cases.…”
