| Project summary: |
The objectives of the visit of dr Čavka Ana to the Vascular Biology Laboratory at the College of Applied Health Sciences, Department of Physical Therapy, University of Illinois at Chicago, an excellent research and clinical international centre are:
a)to acquire knowledge and skills needed for further research activities for applicant’s doctoral dissertation: “Influence of high salt diet on peripheral blood flow in young healthy human subjects”. For a comprehensive approach to given study it is necessary to gain experience in new research methods to be able to understand physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of that issue.
b)to import new research methods to upgrade Laboratory for Clinical Physiology of Faculty of Medicine Osijek in competitive research and clinical center in region that will integrate basic and clinical medicine (from bench to bed).
c)and finally to set up joint international project of two sides involved in this visit with a goal to prepare grant application. Such project would be successful extension of collaboration that professor Drenjancevic and professor Phillips began as PhD students at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Department of Physiology, Milwaukee, WI, USA.

| Hrvatski sažetak: |
Ciljevi posjeta doktorice Ane Čavka Laboratoriju za vaskularnu biologiju, Fakulteta primijenjenih medicinskih znanosti Sveučilišta Illinois u Chicagu, koji je izvrstan istraživački i klinički međunarodni centar su:
a) stjecanje znanja i vještina potrebnih za razvoj daljnje istraživačke aktivnosti u svrhu izrade doktorske disertacije pod nazivom: "Utjecaj dijete sa visokim udjelom soli na periferni krvni protok u populaciji zdravih mladih žena". Za sveobuhvatan pristup navedenom istraživanju potrebno je svladati, naučiti i primijeniti nove istraživačke metode kako bi se što bolje razumjeli fiziološki i patofiziološki mehanizmi navedenog problema.
b) potrebno je naučiti i uvesti nove istraživačke metode kako bi se unaprijedio rad Laboratorija za kliničku fiziologiju i fiziologiju sporta Medicinskog fakulteta u Osijeku, te ga na taj način svrstati u konkurentni istraživački i klinički centar u regiji
c) krajnji cilj je aplicirati za zajednički međunarodni projekt dviju strana uključenih u ovaj posjet. Takav projekt bi bio produženje višegodišnje suradnje između profesorice Drenjančević (Katedra za fiziologiju Medicinskog fakulteta u Osijeku) i profesora Phillipsa (Fakultet primijenjenjih medicinskih znanosti Sveučilišta Illinois u Chicagu)koju su započeli na poslijediplomskom studiju na Katedri za fiziologiju Medicinskog fakulteta u Wisconsinu, Milwaukee, USA. |
