Marshall, J, Turner, AN, Jarvis, PT, Maloney, SJ, Cree, JA, and Bishop, CJ. Postactivation potentiation and change of direction speed in elite academy rugby players. J Strength Cond Res 33(6): 1551–1556, 2019—This study investigated the effect of preceding proagility sprints with maximal isometric squats to determine if postactivation potentiation (PAP) could be harnessed in change of direction speed. Sixteen elite under-17 rugby union players (age: 16 ± 0.41 years; body mass: 88.7 ± 12.1 kg; height: 1.83 ± 0.07 m) from an Aviva Premiership rugby club were tested. Subjects performed a change of direction specific warm-up, followed by 2 baseline proagility tests. After 10-minute recovery, 3 × 3-second maximal isometric squats with a 2-minute recovery between sets were completed as a conditioning activity (CA) on a force plate where peak force and mean rate of force development over 300 milliseconds were measured. The proagility test was repeated at set time intervals of 1, 3, 5, and 7 minutes after the CA. Overall proagility times were significantly slower (p < 0.05) at 1 minute post-CA compared with the baseline (3.3%), with no significant differences occurring at 3, 5, or 7 minutes post-CA. Therefore, it appears that performing multiple sets of maximal isometric squats do not enhance proagility performance.

Perrotta, AS, Jeklin, AT, Hives, BA, Meanwell, LE, and Warburton, DER. Validity of the elite HRV smartphone application for examining heart rate variability in a field-based setting. J Strength Cond Res 31(8): 2296–2302, 2017—The introduction of smartphone applications has allowed athletes and practitioners to record and store R-R intervals on smartphones for immediate heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. This user-friendly option should be validated in the effort to provide practitioners confidence when monitoring their athletes before implementing such equipment. The objective of this investigation was to examine the relationship and validity between a vagal-related HRV index, rMSSD, when derived from a smartphone application accessible with most operating systems against a frequently used computer software program, Kubios HRV 2.2. R-R intervals were recorded immediately upon awakening over 14 consecutive days using the Elite HRV smartphone application. R-R recordings were then exported into Kubios HRV 2.2 for analysis. The relationship and levels of agreement between rMSSDln derived from Elite HRV and Kubios HRV 2.2 was examined using a Pearson product-moment correlation and a Bland-Altman Plot. An extremely large relationship was identified (r = 0.92; p < 0.0001; confidence interval [CI] 95% = 0.90–0.93). A total of 6.4% of the residuals fell outside the 1.96 ± SD (CI 95% = −12.0 to 7.0%) limits of agreement. A negative bias was observed (mean: −2.7%; CI 95% = −3.10 to −2.30%), whose CI 95% failed to fall within the line of equality. Our observations demonstrated differences between the two sources of HRV analysis. However, further research is warranted, as this smartphone HRV application may offer a reliable platform when assessing parasympathetic modulation.

Viaño-Santasmarinas, J, Rey, E, Carballeira, S, and Padrón-Cabo, A. Effects of high-intensity interval training with different interval durations on physical performance in handball players. J Strength Cond Res 32(12): 3398–3406, 2018—The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 2 high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols with different interval durations (short [SI] vs. long [LI]) based on peak running velocity in 30–15 Intermittent Fitness Test (VIFT) in handball players. Eighteen highly-trained players (age: 22.7 ± 3.9 years; height: 181.5 ± 6.6 cm; body mass: 84.7 ± 14.1 kg) were randomly assigned to SI (2 sets of 22 intervals of 10-second runs at 95% VIFT) or LI (5 sets of 3-minute intervals at 85% VIFT) group. The intervention program had to be carried out 2 times a week over 6 weeks. Before and after training period, 10-m sprint, countermovement jump, repeated sprint ability (RSA), and 30-15IFT were assessed. In the within-group analysis, significant improvements in VIFT were found in SI (8.18%) and LI (8.19%) from pretest to posttest. Players in both SI and LI also showed significant enhancements in RSA average time (effect size [ES] = 0.72 and 0.38, respectively), total time (ES = 0.72 and 0.38, respectively), and percentage of decrement (ES = 1.08 and 0.77, respectively) from pretest to posttest. Percentage changes in VIFT, for both groups combined, had a very large correlation with percentage changes in percentage of decrement of RSA (r = 0.857). In the between-groups, there were no differences between the training groups (SI and LI) in any variable (p > 0.05). These results indicate that both HIIT protocols are effective for fitness development during preseason period in handball players. However, SI should be considered as preferred HIIT method because of its higher specificity.

Published: February 2017

Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement is currently the gold standard for coronary intervention. FFR measurement by coronary computed tomography angiography (FFRCT) is a novel and promising imaging technology that permits noninvasive assessment of physiologically significant coronary lesions. FFRCT is capable of combining the anatomic information provided by coronary computed tomography angiography with computational fluid dynamics to compute FFR. To date, several studies have reported the diagnostic performance of FFRCT compared with invasive FFR measurement as the reference standard. Further studies are now being implemented to determine the clinical feasibility and economic implications of FFRCT techniques. This article provides an overview and discusses the available evidence as well as potential future directions of FFRCT.
Prognostic Implications of Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony
Authors: Gorcsan John
Published: February 2017

Normal regional left ventricular (LV) mechanical contraction is synchronous, resulting in efficient ejection. Abnormalities in electrical activation or myocardial diseases may affect the timing of regional contraction, resulting in discoordinated or dyssynchronous contraction, which is inefficient. This article reviews various approaches to quantify dyssynchrony, focusing on LV dyssynchrony, that have been principally related to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Several attempts have been made to improve patient selection for CRT by use of echocardiographic dyssynchrony; however, none have gained clinical acceptance. This review focuses on the different reasons for the existence LV dyssynchrony, the dyssynchronous strain patterns indicative of CRT response, and the prognostic implications of dyssynchrony. Interest in echocardiographic dyssynchrony remains high because of its mechanistic and prognostic importance. Dyssynchrony may occur from electrical or nonelectrical causes. Patients with a wide QRS complex who have baseline dyssynchrony from electrical delay in general have a favorable response to CRT, whereas patients with nonelectrical dyssynchrony (from contractile heterogeneity or scar) at the baseline have a worse prognosis. New insights into the meaning of mechanical dyssynchrony continue to emerge, and this article reviews the important lessons learned from experience, prognostic implications, and promise for future applications.
A large source of dust missing in Particulate Matter emission inventories? Wind erosion of post-fire landscapes
Authors: Wagenbrenner N. S. , Chung S. H. , Lamb B. K.
Published: February 2017

Wind erosion of soils burned by wildfire contributes substantial particulate matter (PM) in the form of dust to the atmosphere, but the magnitude of this dust source is largely unknown. It is important to accurately quantify dust emissions because they can impact human health, degrade visibility, exacerbate dust-on-snow issues (including snowmelt timing, snow chemistry, and avalanche danger), and affect ecological and biogeochemical cycles, precipitation regimes, and the Earth’s radiation budget. We used a novel modeling approach in which local-scale winds were used to drive a high-resolution dust emission model parameterized for burned soils to provide a first estimate of post-fire PM emissions. The dust emission model was parameterized with dust flux measurements from a 2010 fire scar. Here we present a case study to demonstrate the ability of the modeling framework to capture the onset and dynamics of a post-fire dust event and then use the modeling framework to estimate PM emissions from burn scars left by wildfires in U.S. western sagebrush landscapes during 2012. Modeled emissions from 1.2 million ha of burned soil totaled 32.1 Tg (11.7–352 Tg) of dust as PM10 and 12.8 Tg (4.68–141 Tg) as PM2.5. Despite the relatively large uncertainties in these estimates and a number of underlying assumptions, these first estimates of annual post-fire dust emissions suggest that post-fire PM emissions could substantially increase current annual PM estimates in the U.S. National Emissions Inventory during high fire activity years. Given the potential for post-fire scars to be a large source of PM, further on-site PM flux measurements are needed to improve emission parameterizations and constrain these first estimates.
Gain-of-function β-catenin in the uterine mesenchyme leads to impaired implantation and decidualization
Authors: Patterson Amanda L , Pirochta Jamieson , Tufano Stephanie Y , Teixeira Jose M
Published: February 2017

Embryo implantation and endometrial decidualization are critical events that occur during early pregnancy in humans and mice, and perturbation in either can result in infertility. WNT signaling through the canonical β-catenin pathway plays a pivotal role in embryonic Müllerian duct development, postnatal uterine maturation and establishment of pregnancy. Loss of β-catenin in the Müllerian duct mesenchyme (MDM)-derived stroma and myometrium results in impaired decidualization and infertility, whereas gain-of-function (GOF) results in the formation of mesenchymal tumors and sub-fertility attributed to malformed oviducts. We hypothesized that GOF β-catenin further contributes to sub-fertility through improper stromal and epithelial cell signaling during embryo implantation and decidualization. We show that mice with GOF β-catenin in MDM-derived stroma and myometrium have reduced implantation sites after embryo transfer and decreased decidualization. On day 4.5 of pseudopregnancy or in mice treated with progesterone and estrogen to mimic early pregnancy, the estrogen–LIF–ERK and progesterone–IHH pathways remain predominantly intact in GOF β-catenin mice; however, JAK/STAT signaling is altered. pSTAT3 is significantly reduced in GOF β-catenin mice and expression of downstream epithelial junctional complex factors, Ctnna1 and Cldn1, is increased. We also show that purified stromal cells from GOF β-catenin uteri, when removed from epithelial cell influence and provided with the appropriate hormonal stimuli, are able to decidualize in vitro indicating that the cells are intrinsically capable of decidualization. Taken together, these results suggest that dysregulated β-catenin activity in the stroma affects epithelial cell STAT3 signaling and ultimately embryo implantation and stromal decidualization.
Characterization of Red Emission in Nominally Undoped Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy GaN

Published: February 2017

We report characterization of the red emission band in hydride vapor phase epitaxial GaN using cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and imaging and time-resolved photoluminescence. The observed properties of the emission are consistent with recombination of excitons bound at close donor-acceptor pairs. The time evolution of the emission signal during electron beam irradiation supports the association of the red emission with charged centres.
High Temperature Elastic Constant Prediction of Some Group III-Nitrides
Authors: Reeber Robert R. , Wang Kai
Published: February 2017

Thermoelastic properties are important for modeling thermal residual stresses and for optimizing the growth conditions of semiconductor thin films. Thermal expansions of AlN and GaN have been evaluated and predicted by us earlier [1][2]. Here, high temperature elastic constants are estimated empirically from corresponding state relationships and data from other hexagonal Grimm-Sommerfeld compounds. This information together with our earlier thermal expansion data will further improve capabilities for calculating thermal residual stresses in various semiconductor thin films.

Published: February 2017

Single crystalline platelets of aluminum nitride (AlN) were successfully grown by a new technique. It consists of (1) depositing an AlN buffer layer on a SiC substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) below 1100°C, (2) forming an (AlN)x(SiC)1−x alloy film on the AlN film by condensing vapors sublimated at a temperature of 1800°C from a source mixture of AlN-SiC powders, followed by (3) condensing vapors sublimated from a pure AlN source (at 1800°C). The necessity of the first two steps for the successful AlN sublimation growth on SiC substrate was illustrated by the initial nucleation studies of alloys on SiC substrates with and without MOCVD AlN buffer layers: an AlN MOCVD buffer layer leads to continuous, single grain growth mode; The (AlN)x(SiC)1−x alloy film reduces the crack density because its thermal expansion coefficient is intermediate between SiC and AlN. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy studies indicated the high quality of the AlN single crystal.
Room Temperature Ohmic contact on n-type GaN using plasma treatment
Authors: Jang Ho Won , Kim Jong Kyu , Jeon Chang Min , Lee Jong-Lam
Published: February 2017

Surface pretreatment using Cl2 plasma was applied to n-type GaN and Ti/Al ohmic contacts with resistivity of ~ 10−6 Ω cm2, realized without annealing. Using synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy, it was observed that the Fermi level moved by 0.5 eV toward the conduction band edge and the atomic ratio of Ga/N was increased by the treatment. This suggests that a number of N vacancies were produced at the treated surface and the Fermi level was pinned at the energy level of N vacancies near the conduction band. The N vacancies acting as donors for electrons produced a number of electrons, resulting in the near surface region to be in the degenerate state. Both the shift of Fermi level and the production of electrons at the treated surface lead to the reduction in contact resistivity through the decrease of the effective Schottky barrier for conduction of electrons.
Indium incorporation and surface segregation during InGaN growth by molecular beam epitaxy: experiment and theory
Authors: Chen Huajie , Feenstra R. M. , Northrup J. E. , Neugebauer Jörg , Greve D.W.
Published: February 2017

InGaN alloys with (0001) or (000) polarities are grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Scanning tunneling microscopy images, interpreted using first-principles theoretical calculations, show that there is strong indium surface segregation on InGaN for both (0001) and (000) polarities. Evidence for the existence and stability of a structure containing two adlayers of indium on the In-rich InGaN(0001) surface is presented. The dependence on growth temperature and group III/V ratio of indium incorporation in InGaN is reported, and a model based on indium surface segregation is proposed to explain the observations.
Visible Luminescent Activation of Amorphous AlN:Eu Thin-Film Phosphors with Oxygen
Authors: Caldwell Meghan L. , Van Patten P. G. , Kordesch Martin E. , Richardson Hugh H
Published: February 2017

We have investigated the effects of oxygen incorporation on cathodoluminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) from sputtered amorphous films of AlN:Eu3+. Ordinarily, these materials must be activated at elevated temperatures (~1000K) before appreciable luminescence can be observed. We have shown that oxygen doping is an effective alternative to thermal activation. Studies of CL intensity versus oxygen contamination indicate that luminescence turns on if the oxygen content of the sputtering plasma exceeds a few percent. Significantly, oxygen appears to have a greater impact (>600-fold) on luminescence than does thermal activation (100-fold). The oxygen dependence of PL intensity varies slightly from that of CL intensity. A possible explanation for this observation is proposed. The results suggest that low temperature alternatives to the customary thermal activation process may be available. Such alternatives would eliminate materials constraints and would permit the facile integration of plastic components or substrates with rare-earth-doped III-N luminescent devices.
Modeling GaN Growth by Plasma Assisted MBE in the Presence of Low Mg Flux
Authors: Sipe Nathan , Venkat Rama
Published: February 2017

A rate equation model is developed to investigate the plasma assisted MBE growth of GaN in the presence of a fractional monolayer of Mg. Four distinct cases were identified and modeled - (i) Ga-limited regime (ii) Low N-limited regime (iii) Medium N-limited regime and (iv) High N-limited regime. In the model, it is assumed that Ga arriving on a Mg site undergoes faster incorporation into the epilayer through an exchange reaction compared to Ga arriving directly on a N surface. Additionally the incorporation rate of Ga was assumed to depend on the size of the Ga cluster. The results of the model are in good agreement with that of experiments. The non-monotonic behavior of growth rate with Ga flux for moderate Mg coverage is explained based on the incorporation rate dependence of Ga on the cluster size.

GaN layers grown on sapphire substrates were characterized using high resolution optical reflectivity and absorption spectroscopy in the region of ground and excited exciton states. The main exciton parameters are deduced from calculations of reflectivity contours for A and B exciton S-states. The parameters of the Γ5 state of the A-exciton as well as those of the Γ5 and Γ1 states of the B-exciton are determined from a comparative analysis of reflectivity and absorption spectra in thin layers. The influence of strains inherent to MOCVD-grown GaN layers on the exciton parameters including effective masses and longitudinal-transverse splitting is discussed. Electron transitions from the three (Γ9, Γ7, Γ7) upper valence bands to the second Ec2 conduction band of Γ3 symmetry were evidenced.

Rainbow selebensis (Telmatherina celebensis) adalah salah satu jenis ikan endemik di Danau Towuti. Ikan tersebut memiliki warna tubuh yang indah dan berpotensi sebagai ikan hias air tawar yang bernilai ekonomis. Dikhawatirkan akan terjadi penurunan populasi ikan tersebut di alam akibat perubahan lingkungan dan penangkapan ikan yang intensif. Penurunan kualitas lingkungan tersebut secara tidak langsung berkaitan dengan penebangan hutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui distribusi spasial dan temporal ikan Rainbow Selebensis. Penelitian dilakukan di perairan Danau Towuti dari bulan Maret 2002 sampai dengan April 2003. Ikan ditangkap menggunakan jaring insang eksperimental (experimental gill net) dengan 4 ukuran mata jaring yaitu ¾, 1, 1¼, dan 1½ inci di 4 stasiun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ikan Rainbow selebensis berdistribusi luas di perairan Danau Towuti mulai dari wilayah litoral sampai dengan ke tengah danau. Jumlah ikan yang diperoleh lebih banyak dan ukuran ikan juga lebih bervariasi di stasiun yang terdapat tanaman air (stasiun I dan IV) dibandingkan di stasiun yang tidak terdapat tanaman air (stasiun II dan III). Distribusi ikan secara spasial dipengaruhi oleh kedalaman air dan tanaman air, sedangkan secara temporal dipengaruhi oleh ketinggian muka air, oksigen terlarut, dan pH. Puncak kelimpahan ikan ini ditemukan pada bulan Nopember. Rainbow selebensis (Telmatherina celebensis) is an endemic species in Lake Towuti. This species has excellent body color, which is commercialized as ornamental fishes. Concerning will be decress fish population due to change of environment and intensive fishing. Degradation of the environmental quality indirectly related the deforestation. The aim of this research is to obtain information on spatial and temporal distribution of Rainbow Selebensis in Lake Towuti on March 2002 until April 2003. The fish was captured with experimental gill net mesh size 0.75; 1; 1.25; and 1.5 inches at four stations. The result shows that Rainbow Celebensis has wide distribution in Lake Towuti from litoral zone until the middle of lake. At station where there are aquatic plant (station I and IV), the number and size of the fish were high and various compared to station where there were aquatic plant (station II and III). Spatial distribution of Rainbow selebensis was influenced by depth of water and existence of aquatic plant, while temporal distribution was influenced by water level, dissolved oxygen, and pH. The peak season abundance of the fish was in November.
Sociocultural theory and the dialectical-materialist approach to L2 development
Authors: Poehner Matthew E.
Published: February 2017

Sociocultural Theory (SCT), as formulated in the writings of Russian psychologist L. S. Vygotsky (1987), was first introduced to the L2 field 30 years ago (Frawley and Lantolf, 1985) as a powerful lens for interpreting processes of L2 development and their relation to particular activities, practices, and interactions (see also Lantolf and Appel, 1994). Beginning with Lantolf and Thorne (2006), L2 SCT researchers have drawn upon principles from the theory to inform educational practices to actively promote learner L2 abilities. Lantolf and Poehner (2014) further elaborated this work in their analysis of the foundational role of dialectics in Vygotsky’s thinking. These authors determined that Vygotsky’s commitment to understanding the relational unity of seemingly disparate and contradictory processes provided the basis for his elaboration of a scientific psychology as well as for his practical work with teachers and learners. For SCT, dialectics functions at the level of a meta-theory, providing a coherent logic for domains of inquiry including natural as well as social and humanistic sciences. It is argued that to appreciate the differences among theoretical approaches currently pursued by SLA researchers and to evaluate their commensurability requires taking account of the meta-theory, or philosophy of science, in which they are rooted. Post-positivism and interpretivism are identified as philosophical positions that underlie and have influenced much SLA research. Both are examined with particular attention to assumptions they make regarding ontology, epistemology, causality, and teleology. Following identification of key differences between these two philosophies, discussion turns to dialectical materialism and to the ways in which this perspective poses new challenges to fundamental assumptions in both post-positivism and interpretivism. Finally, the four papers included in this special issue are examined as representative of the implications of dialectical materialism for L2 research and practice.

OVERGENERALIZATION IN SINGULAR/PLURAL NOUNS AND SUFFIXED NOUNS OF IELTS COURSE STUDENTS
Authors: Matiini Gharizi
Published: February 2017

This study aims to investigate the morphological overgeneralization of IELTS students. It focuses on the singular/plural nouns and suffixed nouns that are overgeneralized by those students. Three students are chosen as the participants of the study by collecting their writing exercises. Three writing texts are gathered taken from several weeks and materials. The writings are analyzed by sorting the nouns they produced and categorizing them according to the singular/plural nouns and suffixed nouns. The results reveal that the students over extended the rules of singular/plural nouns and suffixed nouns. However, recovery occurs very varied in both singular/plural nouns and suffixed nouns. They tend to be better in mentioning singular/plural nouns, yet they are being selective and careful in writing suffixed nouns. In conclusion, even though the language learners can mark their overgeneralization, it is still difficult for them to recover their errors. It is recommended here that longitudinal study that has more time to examine students recovery from overgeneralization can be conducted for the further study to give more detail evidence in students’ overgeneralizations.Keywords: overgeneralization, singular/plural nouns, suffixed nouns

The present study investigated the photodecomposition of an organic material during the partial (88.76%) solar eclipse phenomenon of 9 March 2016 in Bandung, Indonesia. Curcumin and anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles were used as models of organic material and photocatalyst, respectively. The influence of the process parameters (i.e., curcumin concentration and the amount of TiO2) on the photodecomposition process was also investigated. The results showed that the curcumin was decomposed along with the solar light irradiation time. During the solar eclipse, the photodecomposition rate is suddenly down. The partial solar eclipse provided a slower photodecomposition process than the process under sunny days (conducted on 8 and 10 March 2016). The concentration of curcumin and the amount of TiO2 also have played an important role in the photodecomposition, in which the lower concentration of curcumin and the higher amount of TiO2 have a correlation to the obtainment of higher photodecomposition rate.

Mango is one of the most favourite fruits in the world. Therefore, this type of fruit has been researched deeply to enrich the variety. Here, the purpose of this study was to find the easiest method to determine the type and the variety of mango. In short of the experimental method, we analyzed the leaf using an image processing method. To confirm our result, several analyses were also conducted: leaves process digital image acquisition, and preprocessing, as well as feature extraction and classification. The result showed that our image processing method was effective to detect the variation of up to 78%. We believe that further study using this method will be effective for other types of fruits.

Aim. To analyze the situation with scientific personnel and its training in the field of medical sciences in Russian Federation for 1995-2014 years.Methods. Statistical and analytical methods were used. This study presents the analysis of data on personnel capacity and training of postgraduate students and doctoral students in the field of medical sciences in Russia during the period from 1995 to 2014 with the use of informational and statistical resources.Results. In Russian Federation during the period of 1995-2014 we revealed decreasing number of researchers with PhD (by 3.25%), increasing number of doctors of medical sciences (by 44.8%) and significantly decreased number of researchers without scientific degrees (by 29.6%). The ratio of people with scientific degree in the field of medical sciences is higher than in other fields of sciences (69.2 vs. 29.3%). The process of aging of scientific personnel is continually observed. The average age of researchers increased from 45 to 47 years, PhD researchers - from 49.0 to 51.2 years, doctors of sciences - from 58.0 to 63.3 years and it is higher than the average age of employed in the economy of Russia (40.4 years). 26.0% of researchers are over 60 years. The biggest outflow from sciences is observed among efficient and promising specialists at the age of 40 to 49. In the field of medical sciences the most efficient training of highly skilled personnel can be noted. Almost one in three postgraduates (31.3%) and doctoral students (27.0%) presents the results of their thesis for defending that is higher than in other fields of science (18.35 vs. 17.0%, respectively).Conclusion. Decreasing number of researchers was revealed; the process of aging of scientific personnel is continually observed; almost every third postgraduate and doctoral student presents the results of their thesis for defending that is higher than in other fields of science.

Aim. Assessment of hemophilia prevalence in Azerbaijan.Methods. Materials of the study were the data of the registry on hemophilia. Prevalence and its structure were calculated for the regions and towns of republican subordination: the number of hemophilia patients with all types were calculated per 100 000 people. We determined the following groups: 0-4, 5-13, 14-18, 19-44, 45 years and older. According to clinical forms of the pathology we differentiated hemophilia А, hemophilia В, Willebrand’s disease and other forms. According to severity the patients were divided into 3 groups: severe with factors VIII and IX activity less than 1%, moderate - 2-5%, and mild - 5% and higher.Results. Hemophilia prevalence in Azerbaijan Republic is 17.2±0.44 per 100 000 people. Baku is leading, where it is 33.1±1.22 hemophilia cases per 100 000 people. Relatively high prevalence rate was recorded in Sumgait city (22.8±2.61 per 100 000 people). Among hemophilia patients a male predominance is observed (1323 people, 87.2% of all patients). In all age groups hemophilia A is predominant and ratios of hemophilia B, Willebrand’s disease and other forms are significantly lower. Mild form of hemophilia was registered most often. Proportion of patients with severe hemophilia was lowest in the group with Willebrand’s disease (13%) and highest in the group with other hemophilia types (46.6%).Conclusion. Hemophilia prevalence in Azerbaijan is high (17.2±0.44 per 100 000 people) and regional and age distribution differences are clearly pronounced; in nosological structure hemophilia A and other forms are predominant, nevertheless every fifth patients has severe form of the pathology.

Aim. Analysis of significance of ipsilateral lobar lymph node dissection in the surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with regional lymph node involvement.Methods. We have analyzed medical records of inpatients and outpatients observed in Republican Clinical Oncology Dispensary of Tatarstan Ministry of Healthcare and operated in 2000-2009. Patients were divided into the groups according to the stage (IB, IIB, IIIA), clinical and anatomic form (peripheral or central cancer), volume of surgery (lobectomy and pulmonectomy) and degree of primary tumor spread and lymph node involvement according to TxNx (T2N0, T2N1, T3N0, T2N2). Total of 803 patients were included. Five-year survival rate in each group was counted by the method of Kaplan-Meier based on volume of surgery (lobectomy and pulmonectomy) and lymph node status (N1, N2).Results. In peripheral cancer with regional lymph nodes status N1-2 pulmonectomy with removal of ipsilateral lobar lymph nodes is associated with low survival. In central cancer regional lymph node status change from N0 to N1 does not influence survival after lobectomy/pulmonectomy indicating the positive effect of removal of ipsilateral lobar lymph nodes on survival in this group of patients. In central cancer with N2 survival after pulmonectomy decreases by 2 times indicating no influence of removal of ipsilateral lobar lymph nodes on survival in this group of patients.Conclusion. In peripheral cancer with morphologic confirmation of regional lymph node involvement N1-2, as well as in central cancer with morphologic confirmation of regional lymph node involvement N2, ipsilateral lobar lymph node dissection is irrational; in all other cases (central cancer N0-1 or peripheral cancer N0) ipsilateral lobar lymph node dissection is rational.

Aim. To study the efficacy of longitudinal resection of the stomach in treatment of patients with obesity according to the results of two-year follow-up after the surgery.Methods. During the period between 2012 and 2015 24 patients with obesity were operated on. In all of them longitudinal resection of the stomach was performed. The age of the patients was 21 to 63 years, mean body weight was 118.8±18.67 kg, mean body mass index (BMI) was 42.3±5.8 kg/m2. Before and after the surgery evaluation of excess weight, presence and characteristics of anemia (red blood cell count, concentration of hemoglobin, serum iron and vitamin B12) and quality of life according to Hamilton scale was performed.Results. Weight loss during the first 2 years after the longitudinal resection of the stomach was 68% and it was less pronounced in patients with increased BMI. In patients with BMI 35 kg/m2 at the admission body weight was close to normal by the end of the first year after the surgery. In 4 patients with iron deficiency anemia after 2 years of follow-up hemoglobin concentration was 15.7% below its average preoperative level. 5 (20.8%) patients developed postoperative pernicious anemia. The average concentration of vitamin B12 in observed patients was 421.4±87.9 pmol/L before the surgery and 316.8±64.3 pmol/L after 2 years (p 0.001). Patients’ quality of life was noted to be improved after the performed surgery.Conclusion. Longitudinal resection of the stomach is a very effective method of obesity treatment; it allows to achieve significant loss of excess body weight and to improve patients’ quality of life.

Aim. To improve immunologic diagnosis of relapsing and residual echinococcosis we used the novel chemiluminescent method based on registration of changes of biologic fluids emmision in normal and pathologic conditions.Methods. We observed 136 patients with relapsing echinococcosis, 109 patients with primary echinococcosis and 91 patients with residual cavities after echinococcectomy. As a control we included 186 patients with other diseases such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver and lung cancer, cholecystitis and others having some clinical similarity with echinococcosis and requiring differential diagnosis, and also 30 donors were included. Besides, 111 people previously operated for echinococcosis (6 month to 10 years prior) were examined.Results. In comparison of immunochemiluminescence with well-known serologic test this method demonstrated some benefits: short time to receiving the results, small amount of the blood necessary for the analysis (0.02 ml), high specificity and sensitivity. As the time period after the surgery increases, intensity of luminescence in immunochemiluminescence gradually decreases in case of no relapse and increases in relapse.Conclusion. Immunochemiluminescence of the whole blood is a valuable diagnostic method; this method should be included to diagnostic workup for patients with suspected echinococcosis; immunochemiluminescence provides the opportunity to define pathology and radicality of performed surgery and to reveal the disease relapse.

Published: February 2017

The aim of this study was conducting historiographical analysis of organizational bases of formation and development of prosthodontics in the Republic of Tatarstan, as one of the core dental specialties, along with therapeutic and surgical dentistry. Historico-genetic and comparative research methods were used. The reflection of the history of the prosthodontics departments development in Kazan State Dental Institute, Kazan State Medical University, Kazan State Medical University in the literature and archival materials is presented. The main scientific achievements and contribution to the practical activities of the departments’ heads (I.M. Oksman, L.M. Demner, M.Z. Mirgazizov) and staff are demonstrated. The article proves that studying various issues of dental disciplines development is a very promising field of the modern history of science. This is due to the fact that in the modern world, dentistry is undergoing qualitative changes as a science and practice, which makes the study of the historical aspects of its development significantly more relevant. Analysis of the formation and development of prosthodontics in Kazan suggests that unlike some other centers of national dentistry development in Kazan it had a well-organized framework. Thus, organized in 1936 Kazan State Dental Institute and the Department of Prosthodontics have made a significant contribution to the development of higher medical education in Kazan, the development of dental science and practice.
