Published: September 2021

Background: Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis has reached epidemic proportion during second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in India. In this study we aimed to understand the demographics, presentation, temporal sequence, risk factors and outcomes to undertake measures for prevention and treatment and benefit of administering liposomal amphotericin via retrobulbar injection in addition to systemic antifungals in the setting of rhino-orbital-mucormycosis.Methods: Study of patients with COVID-19-associated mucormycosis managed or co-managed by ophthalmologists in our centre from April 2021 to June 2021.Results: Male predominance and more than 75% associated with COVID-19 infection. Common risk factors associated were DM and corticosteroids use. Unilateral involvement was common (82.4%). Most common primary symptom and sign of ROCM is orbital/facial pain (68.4%) and ptosis (84.2 %) respectively. retro bulbar amphotericin B injections had slight improvement in vision (25%), ptosis (37.5%) and extra ocular movement (25%) with few complications. Surgical management were PNS debridement (42.1%), exenteration added in 17.5 % and with above procedure additional maxillectomy needed in 14%. 22.8 % cases were succumbed by disease while 40.1 % of live patients needed orbital exenteration.Conclusions: ROCM has visible signs and symptoms, help us in early diagnosis as compared to mucormycosis at other anatomical sites and should be known to all ophthalmologists. Early diagnosis by involving root level health worker and creation of standard treatment guideline on emerging heath problem is an urgent need.

Background: Transient hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy (TT) is a common surgical complication. Authors used calcium supplements in different doses and periods, mainly after TT to try to avoid hypocalcemia. Indistinct use has been challenged due to complications. Currently, the risk of hypocalcemia was assessed by measuring parathormone (PTH) after TT; however, without a consensus on the best time and amount to consider. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the incidence of hypoparathyroidism with the use of calcium-rich foods in the pre-operative period of TT, followed by a measurement of PTH performed 12 hours after such procedure

Methods: A preliminary study with 31 patients earmarked for TT. Patients were divided into two groups: (A) without calcium-rich foods intake in the TT pre-operative period; and (B) with the intake of calcium-rich foods, in the TT pre-operative period. These foods composing different menus have been suggested, based on the need for daily calcium intake, according to the age group and nutritional data of the Dietary reference intake (DRI). Beginning of the use of these foods has been standardized as being seven days before surgery, due to the slower calcium intestinal absorption process.  

Results: Group B, when compared to A, showed a significant difference between PTH values, before and after surgery (p value <0.001).

Conclusions: Calcium-rich foods intake in the conditions reported may be associated with lower rates of hypoparathyroidism.
Comparative study of outcomes of type 1 tympanoplasty with and without anterior tucking
Authors: Thingujam Sonee , Poduval Jayita
Published: September 2021

Background: Type-1 tympanoplasty is the functional restoration of the normal middle ear by repairing the tympanic membrane (TM). Different techniques are still evolving to devise a way to give optimal graft uptake and hearing improvement with minimal instrumentation. Various studies have been done to assess the role of anterior tucking in type-1 tympanoplasty and to assess its superiority over other methods in repairing subtotal perforations and large perforations involving the anterior quadrant.

Methods: This study was done to compare the outcomes of endoscopic type-1 tympanoplasty with and without anterior tucking. 60 cases of chronic otitis media (COM) mucosal type were divided into 2 groups of 30 patients each. Group 1 underwent endoscopic type-1 tympanoplasty with anterior tucking and group 2 underwent endoscopic type-1 tympanoplasty without anterior tucking. The outcomes were evaluated after 6 months and compared in terms of graft uptake and hearing gain.

Results: The mean air-bone gap improvement was 13.16±2.65 in group 1 and 12.90±3.78 in group 2, which had statistically insignificant differences indicating similar hearing outcomes in both the groups. 96.7% successful graft uptake was achieved in group 1 and 90% in group 2, showing statistically insignificant differences indicating similar graft uptake rates in both the groups.

Conclusions: Anterior tucking with endoscopic type-1 tympanoplasty could provide good graft support and efficient hearing improvement but cannot be labelled as a mandatory step in repairing subtotal perforations or large perforations involving anterior quadrant as the outcomes are comparable to the endoscopic type-1 tympanoplasty done without anterior tucking. 
Diagnostic value of tonsillectomy in positron emission tomography and computerised tomography negative carcinoma of unknown primary
Authors: Induchoodan Meenu , Madhavan Rajeev Kumar , George Shibu
Published: September 2021

Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) represents a heterogeneous group of malignancy metastasis unique biology of which remains poorly understood. Even after a complete diagnostic workup including positron emission tomography and computerised tomography (PET-CT) scans the primary site of origin may remain unclear. This case series analysed the diagnostic value of bilateral palatine tonsillectomy in evaluating PET-CT negative head and neck squamous cell CUP. From retrospective analysis of cluster of 68 cases with metastatic cervical nodes with no obvious primary referred for ENT evaluation during a period of 20 months, we identified 5 cases where pan endoscopy and radiological evaluation including PET-CT were negative in detecting the primary. All 5 patients underwent bilateral palatine tonsillectomy along with biopsies from base of tongue and nasopharynx as a part of completion of diagnostic work-up. Tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma was revealed by subsequent histopathology examination in 4 out of 5 patients despite negative PET-CT evaluation. Blind biopsies from other sites like nasopharynx and base of tongue were unfruitful. Our experience strongly emphasises the fact that bilateral palatine tonsillectomy has a high yield in detecting primary even in PET negative CUP, though it needs a larger evidence base.

Bakhchisarai Dormition Skete is the Basis of the “Russian Athos” in Crimea: Revival and New Status of the Monastery in the Middle of the 19th Century
Authors: Melnikova Liubov
Published: September 2021

The article examines the prerequisites of the appearance, the process of development and the beginning of the implementation of the church-state project of Archbishop Innokenty (Borisov) of Kherson and Tauride “Russian, or Crimean, Athos”, aimed at restoring ancient Christian monasteries on the Crimean peninsula and introducing hermit lifestyle in them according to the charter developed according to the Athos model. The article considers the revival in the middle of the 19th century of the Bakhchisarai Dormition Skete, which became the base of the spiritual center created in the Crimea. The article presents new archival documents on the history of the skete during the Crimean War of 1853—1856. (the affiliation of hieromonk Ioannikiy (Savinov), who was awarded the Order of St. George, to the skete is established; the activities of other monks in the infirmaries are shown; the myth of the existence of a military hospital within the walls of the monastery itself is debunked).
Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of a Flat Plate Solar Collector with Double Paths
Authors: Amraoui Mohammed Amine
Published: September 2021

Flat air solar collectors are used for heat transfer between the absorber and the heat transfer fluid, to improve this transfer there are several methods. Among these methods, the exchange surface lengthening and the creation of turbulence. In this work is done to give a comparison between two types of solar collectors, so we have made an improvement of Ben Slama Romdhane's solar collector by creating two air flow passages to increase heat transfer. We made a 3D simulation of a flat air solar collector with transverse baffles which causes turbulence and increases the exchange surface; we use the ANSYS calculation code to make the simulation and gives results with a brief time and minimal cost.
Thermal Simulation of a Screenhouse Proposed for Fruit and Vegetable Production in the Lowlands of Panama
Authors: Villagrán Edwin
Published: September 2021

In developing countries, open field agricultural production is highly vulnerable to biotic and abiotic factors limiting crop productivity, generating economic losses and affecting food security. Therefore, one of the strategies that can improve these production systems is the implementation of the crops under cover technically adapted to the climatic and socioeconomic conditions of each region. The objective of this research was to analyze the thermal behavior and airflow patterns of an insect-proof screenhouse through computational fluid dynamics simulations using a 3D model. The results obtained for the multiannual monthly climatic conditions of a warm climate region in Panama showed that the airflow velocities inside the structure were lower between 76.8 and 80.2% with respect to the external velocity. The most critical scenarios showed temperature differences below 2℃ inside the screenhouse with respect to the outside. This value can be considered low as compared to the behavior of naturally ventilated greenhouses.

Published: September 2021

Taking the bed in the bedroom as an air-conditioning system (ACS), this paper attempts to disclose the influence of air supply height (ASH) on sleep comfort. Specifically, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was established to simulate the air temperature distribution, air speed, and carbon dioxide content (CDC) indoor at five ASHs of the ACS. The simulation results were compared with lab data. On this basis, the aeration efficiency (AE), temperature regulation risk (TRR), and energy-use factor (EUF) of the ACS were analyzed under different working conditions, and the overall efficacy of the ACS was assessed comprehensively by the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS).
Numerical Prediction of the Second Peak in the Nusselt Number Distribution from an Impinging Round Jet
Authors: Chitsazan Ali , Klepp Georg , Glasmacher Birgit
Published: September 2021

The results of numerical simulations of a single impinging round jet, using different numerical parameters are presented. To simulate the heat transfer in industrial drying with arrays of different jets the heat transfer for a single round jet (Re=23000 based on jet’s diameter and bulk velocity and the dimensionless jet’s outlet to target wall distance= 2) is used as a test case to validate the numerical model. The distribution of the Nusselt-number serves as a benchmark and the computational cost with regard to CPU-time and memory requirements should be minimal. To accurately predict the intensity and position of the secondary peak from an impinging flow, different approaches for turbulence modeling are considered and their results are compared with data from the literature. The influence of the grid size and the grid shape is analyzed and the grid-independent solution is determined. The results using different implementations of the SST k-omega model, as the best compromise between the computational cost and accuracy are compared. Low Re damping modification in the implementation of SST K-ω has an important role in the prediction of the secondary peak. Good results can be achieved with a coarse grid, as long as the boundary region is appropriately resolved. Polyhedral grids produce good quality results with lower memory requirements and cell numbers as well as shorter run times.

Published: September 2021

Numerical simulation of MHD free convection in a two-dimensional trapezoidal cavity of a hybrid nanofluid has been carried out in this research. The cavity is heated sinusoidal from the bottom wall, and the inclined walls are cooled while the top wall is isolated. The hybrid nanofluid (MgO-Ag/water) has been used as a working fluid. The numerical simulation has been validated with past papers and met a good agreement. The considered parameters are a range of Rayleigh number (Ra= 103 to 106), Hartmann number (Ha= 0 to 60) and volume fraction (f= 0 to 0.02). The results are presented as isotherms, stream functions, local and average Nusselt numbers, from which it is observed that the strength of the stream functions and isotherms increases with the increase of the Ra and ϕ while the increase in Hartmann number reduce the circulation of the flow and increases the isotherms strength. Also, the Nusselt number is increases with Ra and ϕ while it decreases with Ha.

Published: September 2021

The present work experimentally studied two novel solar dryers’ designs, novel indirect solar dryer (NISD) and novel mixed indirect solar dryer (NMISD). The purpose behind this work is to compare the thermal performance of the proposed dryers with that of a traditional indirect solar dryer (TISD). The testing method involved building and thermally testing the three dryers. The NISD is a novel drying chamber with three absorbed surfaces. The NMISD consisted of a flat plate solar collector and NISD. The air temperature at the drying chamber entrance increased by 60% and 68% for the TISD and NMISD, respectively. In the lower space of the drying chamber, the air temperature was decreased by 35% while increased by 39% for the NISD and NMISD, respectively, compared to the TISD. The air temperature in the upper space of the drying chamber increased by 14% and 49% for the NISD and NMISD, respectively, compared to the TISD. The temperature variations through the drying chamber were -26%, 33%, and 3% in the TISD, NISD, and NMISD, respectively. The thermal efficiencies of the NISD and NMISD were 9% and 55%, respectively, higher than the TISD’s.
Simultaneous Measurement of Two-Phase Flow Parameters for Drift-Flux Model
Authors: Nguyen Tat Thang
Published: September 2021

The drift-flux model is widely used in study, calculation and design of two-phase flow. It is a highly efficient model that requires little computation resources. In the model, accurate calculation of the distribution parameter C0 and the drift velocity Vgj is a critically important factor. The calculation requires simultaneously measured data of phase velocity and void fraction distributions or profiles. By using currently widely used methods for two-phase flow measurement, satisfying the requirement is highly difficult. This paper presents novel results of simultaneous measurement of the phase velocity and void fraction profiles in a vertical round tube of 50 mm inner diameter. A combination measurement method has been developed. It comprises the multiwave Ultrasonic Velocity Profile (multiwave UVP) method and the Wire Mesh Tomography (WMT). Based on the measured data, C0 and Vgj have been calculated. They have been compared with those of the published experimental data and correlations. Analyses of the measured data have been carried out. For the first time, the analysis results reveal the variation of C0 and Vgj in the measured flow conditions. More importantly, the data obtained are also useful for the development and validation of the computational codes for two-phase flow.

Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global issue with smoking being the most important risk factor. Co-existence of both COPD and cardiovascular diseases is very common and has diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic implications. The cardiac manifestations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are numerous. COPD affects pulmonary blood vessels, right ventricle as well as left ventricle leading to the development of pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale, right ventricular dysfunction and left ventricular dysfunction. Because cardiac abnormalities clearly contribute to overall morbidity of COPD, an understanding of their role and potential for treatment is vital. The purpose of this study was to evaluate various cardiac manifestations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and to observe correlation with its severity. METHODS This hospital based observational study was done in Gauhati Medical College and Hospital attending in-patient department (IPD) and out-patient department (OPD) of Department of General Medicine from 1st July 2018 to 30th June 2019. A total of 140 patients were included in this study. RESULTS Majority of the patients were in the age group of 60 - 70 years. Cardiovascular manifestations were most commonly observed in very severe stage of COPD (GOLD IV). Overall, 91 patients had ECG changes. The most common ECG findings were P pulmonale and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH). Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) were common echocardiography findings. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac manifestations were more prevalent in COPD GOLD III and IV stages and therefore with increasing severity of COPD, occurrence and severity of cardiac complications becomes more prevalent. ECG and echocardiography are essential investigational tools for diagnosing COPD patients with cardiac complications and assessing their severity. However, a prospective study including a larger sample size is required to arrive at a definite conclusion. KEYWORDS COPD, Cardiac manifestations, ECG, Echocardiography, PAH, RVH
Constraining the body mass range of Anzu wyliei using volumetric and extant-scaling methods
Authors: Atkins-Weltman Kyle , Snively Eric , O'Connor Patrick
Published: September 2021

The ability to accurately and reliably estimate body mass of extinct taxa is a vital tool for interpreting the physiology and even behavior of long-dead animals. For this reason, paleontologists have developed many possible methods of estimating the body mass of extinct animals, with varying degrees of success. These methods can be divided into two main categories: volumetric mass estimation and extant scaling methods. Each has advantages and disadvantages, which is why, when possible, it is best to perform both, and compare the results to determine what is most plausible within reason. Here we employ volumetric mass estimation (VME) to calculate an approximate body mass for previously described specimens of Anzu wyliei from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. We also use extant scaling methods to try to obtain a reliable mass estimate for this taxon.  In addition, we present the first digital life restoration and convex hull of the dinosaur Anzu wyliei used for mass estimation purposes. We found that the volumetric mass estimation using our  digital model was 216-280kg, which falls within the range predicted by extant scaling techniques, while the mass estimate using minimum convex hulls was below the predicted range, between 159-199 kg . The VME method for Anzu wyliei strongly affirms the predictive utility of extant-based scaling. However, volumetric mass estimates are likely more precise because the models are based on comprehensive specimen anatomy rather than regressions of a phylogenetically comprehensive but disparate sample.

Chronic constipation is one of the most common problems in children. It can cause anxiety and psychological problems in patients and parents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) in children with chronic functional constipation. This is a case-control study performed at the gastroenterology clinic of Besat Hospital Sanandaj for one year. The children aged 7-14-year-old with chronic functional constipation were selected as a case group, and the healthy children were recruited as a control group, who referred for growth control. Then, the Maudsley questionnaire for obsessive-compulsive disorders was completed by a trained assistant. With this questionnaire, the presence or absence of OCD and its type can be determined. Forty-three children were selected as the case group and sixty-seven children as the control group. The mean age of the case and control group was 9.3±1.5 and 8.8±1.6 years, respectively. Based on the results, there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of checking, cleaning, slowness, doubting, and total obsessive score (P˂0.05). Therefore, all five types of obsessive-compulsive disorder in the case group were greater than the control group. Obsessive-compulsive disorders were more common in children with functional constipation, and the total obsessive score in these children than the healthy children was a significant difference.

Sobre o desafio do currículo escolar na contemporaneidade
Authors: Lopes Da Barra Valdeniza
Published: September 2021

O texto trata o currículo escolar em três momentos. Primeiramente promove interlocução com estudiosos brasileiros que discutem explicitamente o currículo escolar na realidade brasileira. Em seguida identifica algumas raízes da conjuntura que induz ao deslocamento da lógica que preside o currículo, antes a especificidade do conhecimento e, a partir de certo momento, investido das diversas questões socioculturais contemporâneas. Para tal, se vale de perspectivas teóricas que tematizam o paradigma da historicidade, a pós-modernidade e o “amplo tempo” presente. Assim, indica a emergência e os desafios de temas apagados, rememorados, reformulados, inaugurados (conflitos étnico-raciais, meio ambiente, sexualidade, dentre outros), instituindo novas relações entre passado, presente e futuro. Por fim, aponta sinais de deslocamento do currículo escolar em dois documentos estruturais e reguladores do tema no Brasil contemporâneo.

Yo el Supremo como crítica al discurso del poder
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, Mexico, Morin Flores Alba Nidia
Published: September 2021

Given the scarcity of contextual analyzes that point to the understanding of power in the Latin American environment from the region’s own literary subgenres, the present research studies this conception in the work Yo el Supremo, an outstanding piece of Latin American narrative and cusp of Dictator Novel. For this purpose, the literary and historical records that contextualize the narrative are analyzed. After the hermeneutical analysis of both records, power is determined as the ability to generate historical-discursive realities in the construction of historical characters, in this case the dictator José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia. The reading of I the Supreme warns us about the complexity involved in the study of power in Latin American dictatorial figures within the social tissue and political life of its nations.

Published: September 2021

Este trabalho pretendeu analisar os dificultadores na formulação da Política Pública de Saneamento Básico em municípios goianos na percepção dos atores governamentais e não governamentais. A estratégia utilizada foi o estudo comparativo de casos, tendo como foco de pesquisa os municípios de Pontalina, Itapirapuã, Mossâmedes e Uirapuru, que atenderam a dois requisitos: a conclusão dos seus respectivos Planos Municipais de Saneamento Básico e população inferior a 20 mil habitantes. Para a coleta de dados, foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas e o tratamento das informações coletadas ocorreu mediante análise de conteúdo. Desde o processo de elaboração do Plano Municipal de Saneamento Básico até a sanção da Política Pública de Saneamento nos municípios estudados, foram encontrados dificultadores, que podem ser agrupados em três eixos temáticos: comunicação; gestão municipal; participação e controle social. Entre os dificultadores encontrados, estão: a falta de quadro técnico especializado; dificuldade do município em aderir a programas de financiamento governamentais; descontinuidade administrativa; dificuldade em mobilizar a população para participar das audiências públicas, entre outros. Apenas o município de Itapirapuã não sancionou a Lei de Saneamento Básico.

Extensive translation experience, corresponding theories and concepts, and taking into account the needs of modern society for literary translation are the criteria for evaluating a literary text translation nowadays. The paper offers stages to form the like criteria for evaluating a translated literary text as an integrative multicomponent model. It takes into account aesthetic information, text coherence, systemic dominants and frequency of style features, diachronic distance, the translator’s individual style, the target language literary norm and society’s needs specifics. The components might be taken as nuclear ones while considering translations of the past and present, as well as a two-step translation through an intermediary language. However, when we are faced with translations from Russia’s regional languages into Russian, the named general criteria are not enough, since we ought to implement the strategy of cultural self-realization as well. Buryat-Russian translation parallels have made the authors come to a new criterion model.
“The continuity of disenchantment”: the aesthetics of Silver Age poetry in Olga Berggolt’s poem “Sagebrush”
Authors:   Hong-Kong Baptist University, Arkatova Anna Ye. ,   University of Illinois
Published: September 2021

An analysis of Olga Berggolts’ poem “Sagebrush” (or “Parting”, 1928) pertaining to the early and underresearched part of her oeuvre. The poem is parsed with reference to the basic motives of tearing off and unclenching that “stretch” key images (shawl, grass, heart, mouth) within its imaginative horizontal plane. These metaphorical graphics symbolize the lyrical heroine’s disappointment in love which is as boundless as the earth and immense as grass, while having been metaphorically defined by Marina Tsvetaeva’s poetic phrase, “the continuity of disenchantment”. The poem is analyzed with reference to Silver Age verse and, in particular, the structure and imagery of Aleksander Blok’s “O Doblestiakh, o podvigakh, o slave”, Anna Akhmatova’s “Szhala ruki pod temnoi vual’iu…”, and Marina Tsvetaeva’s own “Riabinu Rubili Zor’koiu” (1934). These Silver Age connections not only enrich the artistic aspect of Berggolts’s text, but contest the stereotype of the author as a Soviet poet whose artistic work was constrained by the official ideology of the communist party.

Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University, Sharapenkova Natalia G.
Published: September 2021

The relevance of the article is based on the fact that over the past decades of the XXI century it has become the urgent need in philology to examine innovative methods, stylistic decisions, new narrative strategies used by the poet, writer, publicist, aesthete and philosopher Andrey Bely (1880–1934) in his last (Soviet) working period. The article considers the issue how in the 30s of the XX century Andrey Bely, being under the great influence of V. Meyerhold’s experimental theater, turned the first and second chapters of the novel “Moscow” (“The Moscow Eccentric” and “Moscow under Siege”) into the drama “Moscow” which wasn’t on the stage. A question is raised about Andrey Bely’s innovation as a playwright and some methods of the stage performance of the play “Moscow” are identified in the article. Special attention is paid to the locus of the house in the novel and drama, the question of transformation is raised: from the closed, protected, inner and personal space to the opened, hostile, unlocked one where hostile and mystic forces invade. The fight between two main antagonists — Korobkin, a scientist, and Mandro, a spy — is given in a wide mythological, christian and antroposophical context. The author of the article presents her many years experience on various approaches to understanding of not fully researched works (novel and play “Moscow”) by Andrey Bely.

Published: September 2021

Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “The Real Life of Sebastian Knight” is not one of those works of the writer, which reveal a clear orientation to Dostoevsky. And yet, it has both obvious and rather hidden traces of the presence of this Russian classical writer’s images. Although Nabokov himself never mentioned Dostoevsky’s novel “The Adolescent”, however, in the development of the main plot conflict of his novel there are characters and images inspired by this novel. At the same time, it is quite noticeable that certain characters of Nabokov’s novel — Mister Bishop, Madame Lecerf, Sebastian, V. — are partly stylized as the characters of Dostoevsky’s novel “The Gambler” — Mr. Astley, m-lle Blanche, Alexei Ivanovich. Finally, there are also some reminiscences of other Dostoevsky’s works in “The Real Life…” and its certain relationship with the poetics of the writer. This article represents a detailed analysis of this obligatory and optional intertextuality of Nabokov’s novel with Dostoevsky’s works.

Authors: Gasanov M. Z. , Kolomyitseva M. N. , Batyushin M. M.
Published: September 2021

In recent decades, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the population has a clear upward trend. This is due, first of all, to an increase in the frequency of occurrence of the main factors leading to its development: diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension. The progression of CKD against the background of the action of these factors leads to a steady loss of the kidneys of their filtration capacity and the development of complications associated with this process. These include, first of all, metabolic and acid-base disorders, electrolyte abnormalities, uremic intoxication, overhydration, protein-energy wasting, sarcopenia and others. Most of them are involved in the development of endothelial dysfunction and the formation of cardiovascular remodeling (CVR), as a key component of the cardiorenal continuum. At the same time, there is a mutual negative influence of pathology of the cardiovascular system on renal function and manifestations of CKD on cardiovascular hemodynamics. This “vicious circle” leads to the development of end-stage renal disease and an increase in cardiovascular risk and mortality from diseases of the circulatory system in patients with advanced stages of CKD. In this connection, this work is devoted to the study of the role of uremic intoxication and, in particular, indoxyl sulfate, in the development of CVR in patients with CKD at different stages of the disease.
