Dear colleagues,  

 

Hereby, new 12th issue of SEEMEDJ is presented to you. This issue brings 7 articles with 

various topics. The molecular dynamics of the antigen-antibody reaction and the role of 

water molecules is presented in the article by Nemeth P. Iskandarov et al investigated 

bioactive components that affect blood coagulation system by fractionation of Vipera berus 

berus snake venom which may be utilized in biotechnology and medicine. Microcirculatory 

blood flow after acute exertional exercise was examined by Potočnik N. TFF3 is involved in 

the pathogenesis of sepsis, but the exact mechanism is not yet clear. This issue has been 

reviewed by Bazina and Baus Lončar. Comorbidities of psychiatric and somatic disease 

pose a major challenge to modern medicine and the multidisciplinary approach and 

cooperation in treatment are necessary to improve the patients’ quality of life and life 

expectancy, as presented in a work by Marušić R et al. Vidović et al detected vitamin D 

deficiency in a population of medical students, which is significant problem noted elsewhere 

also. And finally, Krajina Kmoniček et al reviewed the effects of iron chelators in COVID-19 

disease. 

We are happy to inform our potential authors that SEEMEDJ has been included to another 

citation bases: Crossref, Dimensions and Publons, thus widening our accessibility to readers. 

The art work at the cover page is authored by Nevenka Arbanas, Croatian graphic artist 

born in Batina, Baranja. This way, we continue to present our national but widely recognized  

artists with the origin from Easter Slavonia and Baranja. 

I hope that readers will find relevant published articles for their work. On the behalf of the 

editorial board and my own, I warmly greet our readers and invite them to join us in the 

endeavor of publishing their own scientific work in SEEMEDJ.
