Sažetak
The project "Effects of diving with compressed air on markers of function and integrity of the nervous and cardiovascular system as well as hormonal and immune status and erythropoiesis" is the product of the collaboration of 3 teaching and healthcare institutions and brings together employees of the: (1) University of Zagreb Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry (prof. Jerka Dumić and assist. prof. Sandra Šupraha Goreta), (2) Dubrovnik General Hospital (Antonija Perović, Ph.D. and Marina Njire Bratičević), (3) and Dubrava University Hospital (assist. prof. Marko Žarak). The outcomes of the project so far are: 2 doctoral dissertations, 8 scientific papers and 6 poster abstracts, and another doctoral dissertation is currently being prepared. The results of this project were also presented several times at international congresses where the project participants were invited to give lectures. In one of the last phases of the research, a successful collaboration was achieved with the employees of the epiMark research group, especially Irena Abramović, Ph.D. and prof. Nino Sinčić. Their technology for the detection and quantification of cell-free DNA greatly helped us in understanding (patho)physiological mechanisms that occur during and after diving with compressed air (SCUBA diving). As a result of a successful collaboration a scientific paper has been recently published in the prestigious international journal Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine. The results were also presented as a poster abstract at The Biochemistry Global Summit (25th IUBMB, 46th FEBS, 15th PABMB Congress) which was held in Lisbon, Portugal last year.
