Immunopathogenetic significance of activation and apoptosis of immunocompetent cells in children with HIV infection
Authors: Denisenko V. B. , Simovanyan E. M.
Published: October 2020

The purposeis to clarify the immunopathogenetic significance of immunocompetent cells activation and apoptosis in children with HIV-infection.

Materials and methods. A clinical and immunological examination of 92 children aged 1 to 5 years old with HIVinfection in latent stage 3 (25), in the stage of secondary diseases 4A (21), 4B (22) and 4V (24) was conducted.

Results.During the clinical examination, the consistent appearance of HIV-associated symptoms, opportunistic infections, and tumors was noted. Changes in the immune status included abnormalities in the T-cell component – a decrease in the number of CD4-, CD3-, increase of CD8-lymphocytes, inversion of the CD4/CD8 ratio, in the B-cell component – hyperimmunoglobulinemia, increase in the content of circulating immune complexes, in the part of innate immunity factors – a decrease in the intensity of the oxygen-dependent neutrophil metabolism and its reserve capabilities. Identified impaired positive activation of lymphocytes – a decrease in the number of CD25- and an increase in HLADR-cells. An increase in the expression of CD95-receptors on the lymphocyte membrane, an increase in the number of lymphocytes in the early (AnV) and late stages of apoptosis (AnV/Pr) was found. With the progression of HIV infection, there was a deepening of these shifts in immunological parameters, especially during the transition to the stage of secondary diseases 4V (AIDS).

Conclusion.An immunological examination and correlation analysis showed that an important immunopathogenetic mechanism for reducing the number of CD4 lymphocytes in children with HIV infection is the activation of apoptosis involving the receptor and mitochondrial mechanisms. One of the reasons for the formation of depressed cellular immunity was the hyperactivation of immunocompetent cells. The findings provide a rationale for the timely prescription of antiretroviral therapy for children with HIV-infection, which will prevent hyperactivation and apoptosis of immune system cells.

Published: October 2020

The aim of the study: to analyze the pathogenetic structure of ventriculitis, their relationship with age, risk factors, study the etiological characteristics, clinical and diagnostic features, evaluate outcomes of ventriculitis and features of mortality.

Materials and methods: a retrospective analysis of inpatient medical charts of 72 children with ventriculitis received treatment in the neurosurgery department of Filatov Children hospital №5, St-Petersburg, from January 2008 to December 2017 was carried out.

Results: Most cases of ventriculitis occurred in infants (up to 1 year) and young children (1-3 years old). The largest group among pathogenetic variants of ventriculitis was shunt infection – 50 (69.44%) cases. Other groups were: ventriculostomy-associated ventriculitis – 12 (16,67%) cases; ventriculitis following a neurosurgical procedure without external ventricular drainage – 6 (8,33%) cases; ventriculitis complicated meningitis in patients without prior neurosurgery – 4 (5,56%) cases. The presence of such risk factors for ventriculitis as cerebrospinal fluid leakage (18,06%), intraventricular blood prior to the development of ventriculitis (22,22%), and other systemic infections (59,72%) were noted. The crucial role in the diagnosis of ventriculitis is played by the inflammatory changes in the ventricular cerebrospinal fluid on the background of specific clinical findings and indicative anamnesis. The commonest organism causing ventriculitis in the study was Staphylococcus epidermidis – 24 (33,33%) patients. Ventriculitis mortality rate was 8,33% (6 cases). Analysis of adverse outcomes revealed that aggressive health-care-associated multidrug resistant organisms are more dangerous for life, especially in patients with severe central nervous system pathology prior to ventriculitis.

Published: October 2020

Cytomegalovirus uveitis is one of the AIDS marker diseases, develops with severe immunodeficiency and is the main cause of blindness in HIV-infected patients.

The aim of our work is to study the course and outcomes of CMV uveitis in patients with HIV infection over the past 10 years.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted at the St. Petersburg Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS and Infectious Diseases and at the Department of Ophthalmology of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov. The analysis of statistical data of HIV Newsletters in St. Petersburg for 2009-2019 was carried out, as well as the Journal of Ophthalmologist Examination of the AIDS Center to assess the long-term dynamics of detection of CMV uveitis, CMV associated retinal detachment, and cases of vision loss.

Results. On average, CMV eye damage occurred in 1.65% of patients. In most cases, the involvement of the retina was predominantly peripheral (50-89%). Neuritis, panuveitis, cystic macular edema and retinal detachment were also registered. A positive strong linear relationship was found between the number of new cases of HIV infection already detected in the AIDS stage and new cases of cytomegalovirus damage to the organ of vision. There is a very strong inverse linear relationship between the frequency of detection of CMV uveitis and the amount of antiretroviral therapy provided.

Conclusion. Conducting antiretroviral therapy and providing it to an increasing number of patients helps to reduce the incidence of HIV infection in St. Petersburg and probably secondary CMV infection with damage to the organ of vision.
CO2 reforming of CH4 over M(Ca, Ba, Sr)xLa1-xNiO3 perovskites used as coke resistant catalyst precursor
Authors: Trevisani Souza , Batista Marcelo
Published: October 2020

Methane and carbon dioxide are greenhouse gases that have been converted into synthesis gas for the production of oxygenated chemicals and hydrocarbons. In this paper, M(Ca, Ba, Sr)xLa1-xNiO3 (x = 0.0, 0.3 and 0.5) doped perovskites were successfully synthesized as catalyst precursors aiming at high catalytic activity and stability in the CO2 reforming of methane. These perovskites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction by H2 (H2-TPR) and O2-temperature programmed oxidation (TPO). Its activity and carbon suppression were investigated in the CO2 reforming of methane. Results showed formation of perovskite structure, but La2NiO4 spinel and NiO were also detected in doped perovskites. The Ca, Ba and Sr partial substitution had evident influence on the reduction behavior of perovskites. All the doped perovskites used as catalyst precursors had better catalytic performance than LaNiO3. However, increasing the doping content decreased activity. Among doped perovskites, Ca0.3La0.7NiO3 showed better catalytic performance for the methane reforming reaction.
Treatment planning in implant-prosthodontics: Prosthodontic aspect
Authors: Milicic-Lazic Minja , Markovic Jovana , Popovic Danica , Lazic Vojkan
Published: October 2020

Properly implemented treatment plan implies adaptation to each individual
case. The anatomical and morphological limitations of edentulous and
partially edentulous jaws present a challenge for the clinician in the
context of establishing an adequate implant position, retention and
stabilization of dental restoration. On the other hand, highly aesthetic
patient requirements play a significant role in achieving overall
satisfaction with implant-prosthodontics treatment. From the perspective of
the complexity of implant therapy, the first clinical phase of planning
requires detailed sublimation of the criteria that define the treatment
plan, among which the most important are: degree of regressive bone
remodelling, type of prosthodontic restoration, loading time, type of
retention, as well as aesthetic criteria. The ideal position of the implant
is an important prerequisite for successful tissue integration. The aim of
this paper was to present the complexity of the therapeutic plan based on
the collected literature through the analysis of factors related to
prosthodontic aspect.
Adaptation of Insulin Clearance to Metabolic Demand is a Key Determinant of Glucose Tolerance
Authors: Admin Ada , Gastaldelli Amalia , Ghani Muhammad Abdul , DeFronzo Ralph A.
Published: October 2020

With the development of insulin resistance (IR), there is
a compensatory increase in the plasma insulin response to offset the defect in
insulin action in order to maintain normal glucose tolerance. The insulin response is the result of two
factors: insulin secretion and metabolic clearance rate of insulin (MCRI).

T2DM subjects (104 NGT, 57 IGT, and 207), divided in
non-obese and obese groups, received a euglycemic insulin-clamp (40 mU/m2.min)
and OGTT (75-grams) on separate days. MCRI was calculated during the
insulin-clamp performed with 3-3H-glucose and the OGTT and related to IR:
peripheral (glucose uptake during insulin clamp), hepatic (basal EGPxFPI), and
adipocyte (fasting FFAxFPI).

MCRI during the insulin-clamp was reduced in
obese versus non-obese NGT (0.60±0.03 vs 0.73±0.02 L/min.m2,
p<0.001), in non-obese IGT (0.62±0.02, p<0.004) and in non-obese T2DM (0.68±0.02,
p<0.03). The MCRI during
the insulin-clamp was strongly and inversely correlated with IR (r=-0.52,
p<0.0001). During OGTT the MCRI
suppressed within 15-30 minutes in NGT and IGT subjects and remained
suppressed. In contrast, there was minimal
suppression in T2DM.

In conclusion, the development of IR in obese subjects is
associated with decline in MCRI that represents a compensatory
response to maintain normal glucose tolerance but is impaired in T2DM
individuals.
Classical quantum mechanics – particle is the pulse of matter waves
Authors: Michopoulos Dimosthenis
Published: October 2020

Since the very first development of Quantum Mechanics there are many scientists who, despite the fact that everything seems to work perfectly and the experimental results verify the theoretical predictions, do not understand what is really going on. That is why there are many different interpretations of this subject nowadays. This paper provides a new interpretation, aiming to illustrate the fact that Quantum Mechanics is actually an extension of Classical Physics, and in contrast to other interpretations we illustrate a possible experimental verification of theoretical wording.

Effect of Mulching Techniques and Irrigation Levels on Onion (Allium cepa L.) Growth Parameters Under Drip Irrigation System During Dry Season of Western Ethiopia
Authors: Tolossa Tasisa Temesgen
Published: October 2020

The increasing scarcity and competition for irrigation water entails adoption of innovative

practices that increase efficient water use. The objective of this research was to compare different mulching techniques and investigated the combined effect of irrigation levels under drip irrigation system based on the parametric evaluation system in western part of Ethiopia during the 2018 dry season. A factorial combination of five levels of water (namely 100%, 80% and 70%, 60% and 50%ETc) combined with three mulch treatments (namely, Normal Mulch (NM), Straw Mulch (SM) and Plastic Mulch (PM)) with three replications. The analysis of variance showed that, days to 50% maturity, leaf number per plant, mean leaf length, plant height and leaf area were significantly affected by the main effects of deficit irrigation levels and mulching materials. The interaction effects of deficit irrigation levels and mulching materials significantly influenced plant height, number of leaf per plant, plant height, Leaf length and Leaf area of the onion. The present study suggests that, in water scarce area, farmers are advised to adopt deficit irrigation level with 80% ETc under plastic mulch. It is important even to undertake similar studies at different seasons with different varieties in consideration of their cost benefit analysis. However, if water is not a limiting factor, farmers are advised to apply full irrigation water application under plastic mulch.

Authors: Hasib F. M. Yasir , Chowdhury Sharmin
Published: October 2020

Peste des petits ruminant (PPR), considered as goat plague is the most fatal infectious viral disease for small ruminants. This disease is endemic in many parts of the world including Bangladesh causes extensive loss on livestock and economy. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of PPR and this is the first meta-analysis on PPR as per authors knowledge in Bangladesh. Articles published during the years 2000 to 2019 on the topic PPR within three electronic databases were used for prevalence estimation by random effect meta-analysis model. A total of 39 articles were finally included in the model for prevalence estimation of goat and sheep. 1589784 goat and 142036 sheep were included in the study for analysis. Analysis showed prevalence of PPR was 15.17% (95% CI: 15.11-15.22) and 9.17% (95% CI: 9.02-9.32), respectively for goat and sheep. As PPR is affecting small ruminants in variable percentage in different districts of Bangladesh, this study estimates the cumulative prevalence of Bangladesh. This study may act as a baseline for taking effective control strategy of PPR in Bangladesh through proper allocation of resources on a priority basis.

Bugün, dünyadaki iklim değişikliklerinin etkileri tüm gerçekliğiyle ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu değişiklikler dünyayı olduğu gibi Türkiye‘yi de etkilemekte, bölgeler ve iller bazında farklılıklara yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmada iklimsel değişiklerin bazı bölgelerdeki illere göre değerlendirilmesi için değişik bölgelerden seçilen Ankara, Kars, Aydın ve Sinop illerinin geçmiş 50 yıllık maksimum sıcaklık ortalamaları verileri kullanılarak 10, 15 ve 20 ve 50 yıllık geleceğe yönelik maksimum sıcaklık ortalamalarına dair projeksiyonlar yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre 1966-2015 arası toplam ortalama sıcaklık verileri Ankara‘da 17,90Â°C olurken, Kars 11,69Â°C, Aydın 24,50Â°C ve Sinop sıcaklık ortalaması 17,28Â°C olarak gerçekleşmiştir. 2016-2065 arası projeksiyonlarda karşılaştırıldığında iklim değişikliğine paralel olarak ortalama sıcaklıklarda değişiklikler olacağı görülmektedir. Kuzeydoğu Anadolu ili olan Kars‘ta 3,45Â°C ile en fazla sıcaklık artışı ön görülürken, bir Karadeniz ili olan Sinop 1,99Â°C derece ile onu takip etmektedir. İç Anadolu‘nun karasal iklimine sahip Ankara 1,77Â°C olarak tahmin edilmekte ve Ege ili Aydın‘ın en düşük oranda 1,55Â°C derece olarak sıcaklık artışına maruz kalacağı düşünülmektedir. Diğer taraftan Kars‘ın en fazla, Aydın‘ın ise en az sıcaklık değişimine uğrayacağı tahmin edilmektedir. Çalışmada sıcaklık değişikliklerinin tespiti gerek tarımsal faaliyetlerin buna göre planlanması, gerekse şehirleşme ve su kullanımının düzenlenmesi ve önlemlerin alınması açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Günümüz dünyasında küresel ısınmanın etkileri görülmeye başlamıştır. Küresel ısınma dünyayı olduğu gibi Türkiye‘yi de etkilemektedir. Türkiye‘de bölgesel olarak çok çeşitli olarak görülen iklimsel elemanlar illere göre de farklılıklar içermektedir. Bu çalışmada bu tür iklimsel değişiklerin illere göre değerlendirilmesini teminen Ankara, Rize, Aydın, Hakkâri illeri için yağışlarla ilgili olarak 10, 15 ve 20 ve 48 yıllık geleceğe yönelik projeksiyonlar yapılmıştır. İller değişik bölgelerden seçilerek bölgesel farklılıkların da durum değerlendirilmesine konu olması hedeflenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre ise 1971 ile 2018 yılları arası Ankara ilinde yıllık ortalama yağış 408,59 mm olurken, Rize‘de 2262,76 mm, Aydın 634,33 mm ve Hakkâri ili yıllık yağış ortalaması ise 746,93 mm olarak gerçekleşmiştir. 2019-2066 yılları arası için yapılan projeksiyonlarda gerçekleşen verilerle karşılaştırıldığında küresel ısınmaya paralel olarak ortalama yıllık yağışlarda hemen hemen her ilde değişikliklerin olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak bu değişiklikler yağış miktarlarında aşırı değişiklikler anlamına gelmemektedir. Bu manada küresel ısınmanın etkisi yağış miktarlarındaki aşırı artışlar olarak değil, yağışların düzensiz ve baskın şeklinde olması şeklinde görülmektedir. Küresel ısınmanın yol açtığı bu düzensiz ve baskın yağışlar neticesinde tarımsal faaliyetler zarar göreceğinden dolayı gıda güvenliğinin sağlanmasının gerekliliği açısından tedbir alınması konusuna ışık tutması yönüyle bu çalışma önem arz etmektedir.

Authors: Lakshmanan Radha , Meenakumari T. , Thomas Vinoth
Published: October 2020

Long term performance of four hybrid Hevea clones and ten ortet selections including nine from a high elevation site within the traditional rubber growing tract of Kerala was studied. Significant variability was observed among the hybrids and ortets for all major agronomic traits. Growth of rubber trees was invariably poor in the high altitude region and tappability by the tenth year of planting was less than 50 per cent. The hybrid clones RRII 203 and RRIC 100 showed highest growth vigour with 80 per cent tappability by the 13th year of planting. Among the ortets, P 270 and Iritty 1 recorded the highest tappability of 64 per cent. The ortet P 270 was the best performer with the highest girth at the opening (61 cm), girth increment during immaturity (5.5 cm) on tapping (3.4 cm) and bole volume (0.1 m3). RRII 203 was the highest yielding clone with 56 g tree-1 tap-1 over eight years of tapping. High annual yield (48 g tree-1 tap-1) and lean season yield of P 270 combined with high drc on par with the highest yielding clone RRII 203 indicated the specific adaptability of this ortet to high elevation areas. The ortets P 213 and Iritty 1 and hybrid clone RRIC 100 were the other promising clones exhibiting growth adaptation and high yield potential under high altitude conditions.

This work was carried out to evaluate the effect of different particle size corn on the performance, egg quality and intestinal morphology of Hisex Brown laying hens. A total of 128 birds were used, in a completely randomized design with four treatments, four replicates and eight birds per experimental unit. Experimental rations had corn with different particle size: 565, 620, 781 and 1085 μm of mean geometric diameter (MGD). Feeding was ad libitum at 8:00 am and 4:00 p.m. The variables analyzed were: feed consumption, laying percentage, egg mass and weight, food conversion (was calculated by dividing the feed consumed by the total egg weight (kg.kg-1) and the number of eggs produced (kg.dozen-1)), shell percentage and thickness, Haugh unit, yolk color index and morphometry analysis of the intestinal mucosa. The use of corn with MGD until to 1085 μm in rations does not affect the performance and eggs quality of Hisex Bronw laying hens. However, there are indications that the intestinal morphometry of laying hens is negatively influenced by the increase in particle size of corn.

Os taninos são compostos fenólicos presentes em plantas, classificados quanto à estrutura química em compostos hidrolisáveis e condensados. Os condensados são adicionados à dieta de ruminantes devido a sua capacidade de formar complexos com proteínas tornando-as não degradáveis no ambiente ruminal. Dessa forma, aumenta o aporte proteico no intestino delgado onde ocorrerá a maior absorção na porção cranial do órgão, o duodeno. A vantagem desse mecanismo é aumentar o aproveitamento da proteína da dieta pelos animais o que influenciará na produtividade e sistema imunológico, entre outros. Os efeitos positivos com a utilização desse composto como aditivo nutricional ainda precisam ser estudados, portanto, o objetivo dessa revisão consiste em demonstrar os resultados, até então conhecidos, da utilização de taninos condensados na dieta de ruminantes.

Published: October 2020

Nesta mesa-redonda, foram discutidos, a partir dos pressupostos teóricos da Sociolinguística Histórica, os desafios encontrados pelos pesquisadores dessa área de estudo. Um desses desafios refere-se aos materiais utilizados como fonte de análise, uma vez que eles são predominantemente escritos e fragmentados. A fim de solucionar esses entraves, as debatedoras apontaram caminhos diversos, como a utilização de determinados gêneros textuais para a realização das investigações históricas. Nesta resenha, demos um maior enfoque à proposta de uso das peças teatrais e em como elas podem ser uma solução aos desafios da Sociolinguística Histórica. Dessa forma, nossa discussão irá se pautar, principalmente, em três questões apontadas por Berlinck: (i) a natureza dos textos que se pode considerar na pesquisa; (ii) as formas de compreender o contexto sócio-histórico da produção desses textos e (iii) as diferenças que podem resultar do estudo de fenômenos linguísticos em textos de naturezas distintas.
Evaluation of Attention Towards Motor Task in Children with Developmental Co-Ordination Disorder- A Pilot Study
Authors: Ganapathy Sankar U  , Monisha R
Published: October 2020

Motor task execution capability again included in the writing task. The ability of the child to copy down the letters from the blackboard and the ability to listen to the dictated word and coordinate the writing task along with the listening task to complete the note-taking process. Lack of motor task execution capability will exclude the child from green land play. Playing demands attention skill as well as motor co-ordination. We aimed to compare the level of attention among children with and without DCD during their functional activities that demand motor performance. Ten children with and without DCD were included in the study. Their motor performance was assessed with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC), and a self-reported questionnaire evaluated attention during the tasks of the MABC. All children with DCD had higher MABC impairment scores and lower attention scores than their peers. It has been documented that children with DCD were less attentive to movements than their peers, and the positive reinforcement can modulate their performance by the parents or therapist.

Developmental coordination disorder is gaining increased recognition among the researchers. Despite a high prevalence rate, the uncoordinated movements and performance difficulties in daily life activities in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder were gained increased recognition. Caregivers and parents were not aware of any such intervention and waste a lot of time and money over therapist and therapy, which are not appropriate for their children with DCD. NTT- Neuro-motor Task Training relies on motor control and motor learning. Treatment of each child with DCD requires a unique holistic approach, to examine the effects of NTT among Indian children with DCD, this pilot study was conducted in 10 children with developmental coordination disorder. Movement assessment battery for children was used to assess the gross and fine motor difficulties among children with DCD. NTT intervention was delivered for ten sessions. The total duration of the intervention is 30 minutes. Positive effects of NTT were reported in every child in the intervention group. Their performance enhanced in gross motor and fine motor task. MABC and TGMD-2 results were improvements following the intervention, and the present findings indicate that therapists can take children's behaviour into account to conclude the positive treatment effects of NTT.

Tobacco usage is a major cause of death from cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary diseases. Nicotine addiction which causes physical and psychological dependency, might function as a barrier to smoking cessation. This study aimed to find the association between tobacco dependence and quit rate. A retrospective study was conducted using case records of patients visiting University hospital. About 100 case reports containing information on tobacco dependence and quit rate (in terms of a number of relapses) were retrieved and analysed. Descriptive statistics was done to present the sociodemographic details. Chi-square association to find the association tobacco dependence and relapse rate. Tobacco dependence was higher in males compared to females among all the age groups. It was seen that high nicotine dependence was noted among the subjects of the age group 51 - 60 years (3%). Quit rate with less number of relapses was noted among individuals with low tobacco dependence. There was a statistically significant association between tobacco dependence and quit status (p=0.000). Males (36.5%) had more relapse rate compared to females. About 44.4% of patients with medium dependence had a high number of relapses followed by patients with very low dependence (30.56%). Among 18% of patients with high nicotine dependence, 10% of patients had more number of relapses. Very low and low dependence have more number of relapses with no association between nicotine dependence and quit status.

A criodesidratação é uma técnica utilizada para conservação de materiais, principalmente vísceras de animais, para estudo prático da anatomia animal. O presente estudo visa demostrar os resultados obtidos com a criodesidratação de encéfalos de suínos e caninos, uma vez que tal material é um dos mais sensíveis à degradação e perde rapidamente suas características durante o manuseio nas aulas práticas. Foram submetidos sete encéfalos de suínos e três de caninos à injeção e submersão em Formol 10%, durante 15 dias, e posterior congelamento e descongelamento, sendo pesados uma vez a cada sete dias e envernizados depois de alcançarem 30% do peso inicial. Os encéfalos apresentaram média de perda de peso semelhante quando comparados entre as duas espécies e redução do tamanho inicial. Após a envernização, os encéfalos mostraram-se resistentes ao manuseio, o que possibilitou a visualização de estruturas sem danificar substancialmente a peça.

Currently, the problem of family planning is not only medical, but also social. The reason for this is the widespread use of artificial termination of pregnancy in our country. Moreover, the majority of women in Russia resort to the extremely dangerous method of abortion - acute curettage, which is associated with a high risk of further infertility and the development of long-term adverse consequences. It is necessary to inform all patients of reproductive age about the neg-ative consequences of artificial termination of preg-nancy and the possibilities of modern methods of con-traception. One of the most popular in our country (in second place after combined oral contraceptives) and highly effective (Pearl index is 0.1-0.5) methods of contraception is the intrauterine device. Intrauterine systems (IUDs) are reversible long-term contraception, which makes them easy to use and affordable. The IUD is installed for 5 years and does not require constant monitoring by the patient. If necessary, the device can be removed at any time. Another positive aspect is that fertility is restored after 12 months in 80-96% of cas-es. Also, intrauterine contraceptives have the thera-peutic effect, since the local action allows you to nor-malize the menstrual cycle, which is especially im-portant for women suffering from hyperpolymenor-rhea and chronic anemia. It has been proven that IUDs do not increase the risk of developing endome-trial and cervical malignant tumors and, in addition, have antiproliferative and antimitotic effects, which makes it possible to use them in patients with complex atypical hyperplasia and highly differentiated stage IA endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Moya-Moya disease is a rare progressive chronic cer-ebrovascular disease characterized by a narrowing of the lumen of the intracranial segments of the internal carotid arteries, as well as the initial segments of the anterior and middle cerebral arteries with the devel-opment of a network of small vascular anastomoses. Violations of blood supply due to occlusion lead to the development of ischemic strokes in the correspond-ing pools, and ruptures of vascular anastomoses - to the development of hemorrhagic strokes, causing a variety of neurological disorders. The article presents a clinical case of Moya-Moya disease in a 31-year-old patient. The disease was manifested by acute disorders of cerebral circulation in ischemic and hemorrhagic types. The diagnosis was made in accordance with the diagnostic criteria of the disease based on the data of endovascular cerebral angiography.

Published: October 2020

A study of a patient with damage to skeletal muscle tissue was performed using single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed to-mography using 99m-Tc-tetrophosmin to assess the rehabilitation potential of muscle tissue and rehabili-tation treatment planing. The study consisted of sev-eral stages, including a native SPECT/CT and SPECT/CT after electrical myostimulation of damaged muscle tissue. A visual assessment of structural chang-es, the distribution of 99m-Tc-tetrophosmin in tissues, and the calculation of the percentage of accumulation of 99m-Tc-tetrophosmin in the area of interest relative to the administered dose was performed. The results obtained allow us to judge the low rehabilitation po-tential and bad prognosis for the restoration of func-tion in a patient with post-traumatic muscular atro-phy. SPECT/CT can be used to assess the rehabilita-tion potential of damaged skeletal muscle tissue. Work continues to explore the possibility of using SPECT/CT for dynamic evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures.

The problem of miscarriage is especially relevant in modern conditions of decreasing population growth. Miscarriage is understood as the spontaneous termi-nation of pregnancy from conception to 37 weeks of gestation. It is very important to maintain the desired pregnancy, because according to statistics, every five years the number of women who are able to give birth to a child decreases by 20%, which indicates an unfa-vorable demographic situation. Despite the large number of works devoted to the problem of non-developing pregnancy, the final etiological factors, pathogenetic and clinical course of the pathology are not clearly defined. A significant place in the struc-ture of etiological factors in the development of non-developing pregnancy by scientists and clinicians is assigned to endocrinological, immunological, genetic and infectious factors, which allows us to consider this pathology as polyetiological. Since the incidence of non-developing pregnancy is quite high, it is neces-sary to conduct research to establish the etiological, pathogenetic, clinical features of the pathology, as well as to develop effective methods for the correction and prevention of this condition, which will allow during the pregravid preparation period to exclude possible risk factors and prevent the development re-duce the risks of the formation of a non-developing pregnancy.
