The molecular dynamics method is used to study the stability of phase trajectories of ions of a NaCl crystal to the perturbation of the initial data. It is shown that there is a local instability of perturbations of the phase trajectories of the system both in the configuration space and in the velocity space. At the initial stage, small perturbations grow exponentially, growth increments are the same in both cases, and they depend on the structure of the crystal and its temperature. With increasing the temperature, growth increments increase too. Further, the growth of perturbations slows down, and they reach a “plateau” value, the characteristic size of which in the configuration space is comparable with the size of the ion localization region, and in the velocity space with its maximum velocity. In addition, it was found that the velocity autocorrelation function of all ions decays to zero, i.e., their mixing takes place in the system in addition to the local instability of phase trajectories. Thus, a dynamic chaos takes place in the system of atoms of crystalline matter.
Amílkar-U. Una travesía poética intermedial entre palabras, acciones e imágenes
Authors: Cadavid-Ochoa Juan José
Published: November 2020

Esta reflexión evidencia cómo desde los años sesenta Amílcar Osorio produce una práctica artística en procura de la desinstitucionalización de la literatura y del arte, al situar sus objetivos estéticos no solo en las letras como posibilidad narrativa y poética, sino en la utilización de lo visual, el espacio y la vida misma como recurso artístico. Con esto el autor consigue difuminar las fronteras entre literatura, artes visuales y de acción, y logra producir lo que se puede considerar hoy una práctica intermedial, al tomar estrategias propias del arte conceptual que le permiten conectar la vida cotidiana, la literatura, las ideas como expresión artística, la imagen y la performance.

«Гетто в хорошем смысле» против «бетонного гетто»: районные дискурсы и реновация в Москве
Authors: Желнина Анна Александровна
Published: November 2020

Программа реновации жилья в Москве была официально объявлена в начале 2017 года и еще до формирования списков домов под снос вызвала сильный эмоциональный отклик у москвичей. В данной статье я демонстрирую, как городские эмоции были задействованы в ходе мобилизации за и против программы. Интересным элементом этой эмоциональной работы стало эмоциональное конструирование периферийности: отталкиваясь от различных представлений о том, что такое периферия, горожане формулировали представления об идеальном и нежелательном городе. Восприятие прошлого и будущего, а также эстетика, связанная с ними, как я покажу ниже на примере нарративов о реновации, не только формируют восприятие места, но могут превратиться в инструмент политического действия. Противники и сторонники реновации пытались отстоять свое право не быть на периферии: сторонники старались избежать замедленного и заброшенного существования районов пятиэтажек, максимизировать современность и интенсивность своей жилой среды. Противники реновации, наоборот, противились наступлению периферии — высотного, насыщенного социальными проблемами жилья.
Жилищный бум в посткризисном Киеве: рост без финансов
Authors: Ляшева Алена
Published: November 2020

Во многих городах по всему миру финансиализация жилья привела к социальным и пространственным изменениям. Сценарий этого процесса был в общих чертах схож: массивное вливание финансового капитала в недвижимость провоцировало строительный бум, что среди прочих причин привело к глобальному финансовому кризису 2008 года. После кризиса система финансирования строительства была во многих странах восстановлена. Этого удалосьдобиться даже периферийным городам Европы — часто за счет государственных программ финансирования ипотеки, примером чего являются Венгрия и Россия. Но в Украине кардинально иная ситуация: жилищный рынок не получил ни государственной поддержки, ни внешних вливаний капитала, но тем не менее продолжает функционировать. Последние пять лет в больших городах наблюдается активное строительство, и лишь недавно стали проявляться признаки нового падения, когда две крупные строительные компании Киева «заморозили» свои проекты. Чтобы разобраться с этим противоречием, мы попытаемся ответить на следующий исследовательский вопрос: каким образом в украинских городах продолжался жилищный рост в 2015–2019 годах, несмотря на отсутствие существенных инвестиций в кредитование недвижимости? Предлагаемое объяснение состоит в том, что жилищный рост вызван высокой разницей в уровне собственности и доходов украинцев, увеличившейся ввиду периферизации украинской экономики за последние пять лет, а также возникновением нового механизма накопления, в большей мере замкнутого внутри страны. Эта гипотеза будет подтверждена следующим образом. Во-первых, мы систематизируем существующие исследования финансиализации жилья, акцентируя внимание на разнице между центром и периферией. Во-вторых, проанализируем режим финансирования жилищной сферы, характерный для вышеуказанного кейса, на основе количественных данных, демонстрирующих разрыв международной цепочки финансиализации жилья, а также на основе качественных данных, объясняющих социальные и политические механизмы этого процесса. В-третьих, будут описаны социальные риски сложившейся ситуации и показана связь между периферийной позицией Украины в глобальной экономике и установившимся в последние годы механизмом жилищного финансирования.
The Comfortable City Model: Researching Russian Urban Planning and Design Through Policy Mobilities
Authors: Зупан Даниэла , Гунько Мария Сергеевна
Published: November 2020

Drawing on the scholarship of policy mobility and center-periphery relations, this article sheds light on the evolution of Russian urban planning and design since the new millennium and critically discusses recent trends. We do so through the lens of planning ideas and their circulation. In particular, the paper reconstructs how the comfortable city model emerged and unfolded in Russian urban planning and design. We identify three phases: the model’s emergence within the professional community in the early 2000s, its consolidation in the 2010s, and its recent rise into the epitome of contemporary Russian city making. The paper finds that over the last two decades the centers of innovations in the field of urban planning and design have shifted. While mainly the regional capitals and other large and medium-sized Russian cities provided important stimuli in the beginning of the new millennium, contemporary urban planning and design is marked by attempts to spread many of Moscow’s best practices throughout the country. Such attempts are enforced, inter alia, through federal programs and national modernization projects, educational initiatives, and the spread of the capital’s expertise and experts to the regions. The resulting reshuffling of center-periphery relations is marked by the recentralization of knowledge, expertise, and professional resources and by further peripheralization through the undermining of local autonomy, expertise, innovation, and knowledge.

Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly in which the portal vein passesanterior to the duodenum rather than posteriorly. Generally asymptomatic, PDPV may rarely cause aduodenal obstruction in the newborn. It is usually associated with gastrointestinal tract, cardiac,pancreatic, as well as biliary tract anomalies or may, occur as a single isolated malformation. Tillnow, only a few cases have been reported with duodenal obstruction and associated anomalies. Thepresent study report one such case of PDPV with multiple congenital anomalies. A full-term, one-day-old baby who had an antenatal history of polyhydramnios, presented to us with abdominaldistension and non-bilious vomitings soon after birth. Surgical exploration revealed a hugely dilatedstomach, multiple Ladd bands, malrotation of the small intestine, preduodenal portal vein, and anannular pancreas causing external duodenal compression. Intraoperative recognition of PDPV isimportant because iatrogenic injury during surgery can cause profuse hemorrhage from the vein andmay cause damage to the biliary tract or duodenal wall. Prompt evaluation of associated cardiacanomalies is important before surgery. Duodenostomy anterior to the portal vein is the definitivetreatment. Studies in animal models (AKR/J mice) have shown an autosomal recessive mode ofinheritance.

Cooperação e diálogo em atividades intergeracionais
Authors: Costa Mariana Nascimento , Calsa Geiva Carolina
Published: November 2020

O objetivo de nossa pesquisa foi discutir as relações cooperativas e dialógicas em atividades intergeracionais. Para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa optamos por uma abordagem predominantemente qualitativa, cujo método adotado foi a pesquisa-participante. Participaram da pesquisa, sete idosos de uma Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade e quatro alunas do curso de Pedagogia da mesma instituição. Durante as sessões de intervenção criamos e desenvolvemos três atividades-desafio (Organizando o Jantar, Dividindo os animais e Criando com o Tangram). As atividades atenderam às características construtivistas e intergeracionais, pois buscamos explorar as certezas, justificativas e dúvidas dos entrevistados e estimular as trocas de pontos de vistas e situações de reciprocidade entre as gerações. O aporte teórico para análise dos dados esteve baseado nos escritos de Jean Piaget e Paulo Freire. Sobre a análise das trocas intergeracionais, verificamos que os grupos da pesquisa passaram da predominância de condutas de não cooperação e não diálogo ao privilegiar decisões e ações individuais para condutas de cooperação nascente. Ao cooperar os participantes de ambas as faixas etárias dos dois grupos começaram a elaborar hipóteses de jogadas, estratégias e soluções de problemas em conjunto com os demais. Finalizando, podemos afirmar que nossa pesquisa, além de reforçar dados anteriores sobre a relevância da Epistemologia Genética como referencial teórico-metodológico para a organização de projetos educativos com idosos, cujo objetivo era seu desenvolvimento intelectual, sinaliza sua fecundidade para a ressignificação das identidades dos idosos em experiências intergeracionais.
O ensino de Literatura e a Gastronomia em cena: uma proposta para a formação docente
Authors: De Carvalho Letícia Queiroz , Martins Murilo Góes
Published: November 2020

O presente artigo busca um diálogo entre alguns pressupostos teóricos da gastronomia e o ensino de literatura na perspectiva da formação do professor da área de Letras. Teoricamente, pretendemos cotejar os saberes culturais da alimentação manifestados em textos representativos da literatura e ensino com os postulados de Bakhtin e o Círculo, para sustentar a nossa hipótese investigativa de que é possível suscitar, nos professores de Português, o estímulo a leituras críticas do texto literário pelos signos da alimentação nele presentes. Em nossa interlocução teórica, traremos também considerações atinentes ao conceito de gastronomia, formalizados por Brillat-Savarin e as concepções barthesianas relacionadas ao prazer do texto. Tal diálogo aponta o potencial da convergência teórica entre literatura e gastronomia nos processos de formação docente, por meio de uma proposição prática de leitura para professores.
"Não temos muitas perspectivas no ensino da língua": Política de Linguagem e Formação de Professores de espanhol no município fronteiriço de Foz do Iguaçu
Authors: Carvalhal Tatiana Pereira , Gasparin Marlene Niehues
Published: November 2020

A proposta deste trabalho é discutir desafios para o ensino e formação de professores de espanhol no município fronteiriço de Foz do Iguaçu, a partir do campo da Política e Planejamento de Linguagem (PPL). Para tanto, fez-se uma breve revisão desse campo de pesquisa e uma discussão das políticas voltadas para o ensino de espanhol em Foz do Iguaçu. Em seguida, foram analisados relatos de docentes atuantes em escolas do município. Constatou-se que há uma divergência entre uma política nacional que desfavorece o ensino de espanhol nas escolas e um planejamento local que favorece a formação inicial e continuada de professores, apesar de se configurar um cenário local de desvalorização do ensino de espanhol nas escolas e de forte prestígio do inglês sobre o espanhol.
Meu filho me tornou uma pessoa melhor! O que dizem jovens mães de periferia

Published: November 2020

Esse estudo analisa e problematiza representações de maternidade, a partir de narrativas de jovens mães e gestantes, entre 17 e 23 anos de idade, alunas do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública da periferia de Canoas (RS), a partir do aporte dos Estudos Culturais em Educação, dos Estudos de Gênero e dos Estudos sobre Juventude. Como metodologia, foram realizados encontros de Grupo Focal, entre novembro e dezembro de 2018. Destacamos que a gravidez e a maternidade são experimentadas pelas jovens de modo singular, uma vez que se articulam a outros marcadores sociais que caracterizam a juventude. No entanto, suas representações acerca de tais dimensões ainda reiterem ideários historicamente construídos sobre ser o “ser mãe”.
Optimizing Connected Target Coverage in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution
Authors: GÖKALP Osman
Published: November 2020

Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSNs) are advanced communication technologies with many real-world
applications such as monitoring of personal health, military surveillance, and
forest wildfire; and tracking of moving objects. Coverage optimization and
network connectivity are the critical design issues for many WSNs. In this
study, the connected target coverage optimization in WSNs is addressed and it
is solved using self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm (SADE) for the
first time in literature. A simulation environment is set up to measure the
performance of SADE for solving this problem. Based on the experimental
settings employed, the numerical results show that SADE is highly successful
for dealing with connected target coverage problem and can produce higher
performance in comparison with other widely-used metaheuristic algorithms such
as classical DE, ABC, and PSO.
Determination of the Nature of the Image in the Philosophy of Ancient Thinkers as an Element of Culture in the Context of Historical and Theoretical Analysis
Authors: Narzikulova F.B.
Published: November 2020

The article provides definitions of the concept of image, the nature of image from the point of view of scientific, historical and theoretical analysis, which are most often found in scientific literature. The article examines the nature of image as an element of culture in the philosophy of ancient thinkers such as Ibn Sina, al-Farabi, Confucius, their views, ideas, and views. The scientific study of the spiritual world and the thought process of the great people of the past who made a great contribution to the development of civilization plays an important role in fostering a sense of pride in future generations. The works of outstanding minds reflect the achievements of human thought of a certain historical period, the way of life of a large group of people of a particular time. There is an assumption that the term "image" comes from the English language. It conveys at least five meanings-image, statue-idol, metaphor, icon, similarity. But, given the fact that this term existed in ancient times, it is impossible to say with certainty that "image" is derived from French or English, most likely, it is borrowed, as shown by the transformation over time of its content and almost simultaneously later appearance in both these languages.
Efeito da Aplicação de um Sistema de Automação Agrícola em Colheita Mecanizada de Cana-de-Açúcar como Ferramenta de Gestão e Controle de Custo Operacional
Authors: Lançoni Adilson Aparecido , Martinelli Soares Wesley , Da Costa Carrer Celso , Gonçalves Lima César
Published: November 2020

Nos últimos dez anos, o Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) do agronegócio brasileiro apresentou um crescimento expressivo de 70,36%, segundo o Centro de Estudos Avançados em Economia Aplicada (CEPEA, 2019). Com o constante crescimento da cadeia produtiva do agronegócio brasileiro, os produtores buscam cada vez mais investir em tecnologia e inovação, visando melhoria na qualidade do produto, eficiência produtiva e melhor rentabilidade financeira. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da implantação de um sistema de automação agrícola em colheita de cana-de-açúcar mecanizada, de forma a identificar o comportamento dos custos operacionais de produção em uma usina no interior de São Paulo. Para realização da pesquisa, optou-se pela pesquisa exploratória qualitativa, com utilização de estudo de caso, e com levantamento bibliográfico. Foi possível constatar que o processo de corte, colheita e transporte, quando mecanizados, tendem a ser menos oneroso para as empresas deste segmento e os investimentos necessários para viabilizar a operação foram amortizados no período de dois anos. Também se observou que o processo de mecanização agrícola proporciona o uso de ferramentas gerenciais para obtenção de informações ágeis, on-line e precisa, diminuindo o uso de planilhas manuais e controles paralelos, com reflexos na redução de erros e atrasos na tomada de decisão.

Health Impact Assessment and City Council Policy: Identifying Opportunities to Address Local Social Determinants of Health & Place-Health Relationships, 10 Years Later
Authors: Petteway Ryan , Cosgrove Shannon
Published: November 2020

Background: Health Impact Assessment (HIA) can be used to assess any type of policy/program related to social determinants (SDH).  However, local public health departments (LHDs) have been slow to adopt formal use of HIA in efforts to address local SDH, even with growing evidence linking SDH and place-health relationships. Ten years ago we completed a review of Baltimore City Council policies to advance this conversation within the LHD. Our goal here is to revisit this review and, again, outline a process by which LHDs can: a) monitor local policies in regard to SDH and b) identify opportunities for potential HIA use.
Methods:  We reviewed all policies introduced into Baltimore City Council in calendar years 2008 and 2009. We reviewed each policy to identify those with potential health impacts. We then categorized these policies as: a) “explicitly health-related” or b) “related to SDH.” We then tabulated the number and sub-types of these policies that were referred for LHD review.
Results: We identified and reviewed 597 total policies. 89 policies (15%) were identified as “explicitly health-related,” 34 (38%) of which were referred for LHD review. 208 policies (35%) were identified as “related to SDH,” 13 (6%) of which were reviewed. Overall, 297 (50%) policies were identified as having potential health impacts, 47 (16%) of which were reviewed.
Conclusion: This work represents a potentially replicable process to identify HIA opportunities, and potential launch point for health-in-all-policies efforts. In Baltimore, it facilitated dialogue with Baltimore City officials and led to the LHD’s first HIA grant.

Background:  The chronotype of a person refers to an individual's natural sleep-wake cycle and whether that individual prefers morning or evening activities, and grit is an individual's perseverance and passion for long-term goals.Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between grit, chronotype, physical activity, and leading a healthy lifestyle in college-age students.Methods:  Health and fitness data (i.e., chronotype, grit, lifestyle assessment score, and daily steps) from 431 first-semester university students at a private college were collected and analyzed. Results: This study found that grit and chronotype both have significant correlations with living a healthy lifestyle and with physical activity. Grit more accurately predicts a person's lifestyle (β = -13.712, r = 0.39, p < 0.0001) while chronotype more accurately predicts the physical activity, or steps, of a person (β = 66.48, r = .19, p = .0001). Chronotype can also accurately predict the grit of a person (r = .25, p < .0001), and it was found that morning people tend to have more grit.Conclusions:  This study concluded that grit, chronotype, steps, and a healthy lifestyle are all significantly correlated with each other. Knowing the relationship between endogenous chronotype, grit, and living a physically active and healthy lifestyle can help inform policy decisions related to the goal of strengthening an institution's inclusive and healthy academic community.
Pouring from an Empty Cup: The Case for Compassion Fatigue in Higher Education
Authors: Cordaro Millie
Published: November 2020

Background: With the global pandemic, higher education has experienced unparalleled changes with abrupt transitions to remote and online learning. Faculty are working to provide continuity of teaching and support to students whose lives have been disrupted; therefore, faculty are finding themselves managing distressed students with a wide range of issues, while also managing their own intrapersonal stress. Consequently, faculty may experience feelings of being psychologically overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted.Aim: This article informs faculty in higher education on the concept of compassion fatigue along with the symptoms, warning signs, and risk factors. In addition, protective factors, including self-care plans and coping strategies are addressed.Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature on compassion fatigue was conducted including the application of the construct to teaching and education. The literature review illuminates the use of compassion fatigue, originating from the scientific disciplines of counseling and traumatology, within an emerging line of research findings occurring amongst educators prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.Results: The literature demonstrates that compassion fatigue as a prospective, intrapersonal condition may potentially affect some faculty in higher education, and the proposed conceptual application of the construct to teaching and education can assist with acknowledging and understanding an important aspect of faculty mental health.Conclusions: Given the crisis surrounding the pandemic, it's essential for faculty to be aware of compassion fatigue in order to mitigate potential intrapersonal psychological and emotional consequences. Elucidating the symptoms and implications of compassion fatigue for faculty in higher education is part of a broader, overlooked issue on faculty mental health and wellness.

Mutluluk ve Kurumsal Gelişme
Authors: AKSOY Tolga
Published: November 2020

Günümüzde ülkeler arası ekonomik gelişmişlik farklarının yanı sıra, kurumsal gelişmişlik ve mutluluk farklılıkları da iktisatçıların dikkatini çekmektedir. Literatürde ekonomik göstergeler ile mutluluk arasındaki ilişki pek çok çalışma tarafından ele alınmışken, mutluluk ve kurumlar ilişkisi görece ihmal edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kurumsal gelişmenin mutluluk üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan 131 ülkenin 2005-2016 yıllarını kapsayan veri seti panel veri yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre mutluluk ve kurumsal gelişme arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Gelir seviyesi daha yüksek olan ülkelerin düşük gelirli ülkelere kıyasla daha mutlu olduğu görülürken, ekonomik büyüme ve enflasyon gibi konjonktürel değişkenlerin mutluluk üzerinde istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu sonuçlar, mutluluğun salt parasal bir olgu olmadığını ve ülkelerin kurumsal olarak kalkınarak vatandaşlarının refah seviyelerini artırabileceğini göstermektedir.

Aim      Heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are a common comorbidity. Professional chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (PCOPD) is a specific phenotype, which suggests peculiarities in the development of HF. Difficulties of HF diagnosis in such patients determine the relevance of searching for additional markers. The aim of the study was identifying HF markers in patients with PCOPD.

Material and methods  This single-site, cohort, prospective, observational study included 345 patients. The main group consisted of PCOPD patients; the comparison group consisted of patients with COPD induced by tobacco smoking; and the control group included conventionally healthy individuals. The groups were matched by the index of coincidence; pairs were matched at 1:1 by the “nearest neighbor index”; covariates for matching included COPD duration, sex, and age. Each group included 115 patients. The major professional adverse factors were silica-containing dust and organic solvents. COPD was diagnosed according to GOLD criteria; HF was diagnosed in accordance with Russian clinical guidelines. The markers were determined by multifactorial logistic regression. Likelihood of events with allowance for the time to the event was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results HF in PCOPD patients was characterized by biventricular damage, preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, and frequent hospitalizations for decompensation (17.5 % vs. 9.5 % for COPD in smokers). HF markers in patients with PCOPD included the length of work of more than 20 years, pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) higher than 35 mm Hg according to data of Doppler echocardiography, diffusing capacity of lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) less than 50 %, increased serum concentrations of CC-chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18), S-100‑beta protein, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP). Diagnostic sensitivity of the multifactorial model was 84 % and specificity was 81 %. Two models were proposed for purposes of screening, which included the following parameters: length of work, exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons, decreased distance in 6-min walk test by more than 60 m per year and length of work, exposure to inorganic dust, and decreased forced expiratory volume during the first second by more than 55 ml per year.

Conclusion      The markers for development of HF in PCOPD patients are length of work >20 years, PASP >35 mm Hg, DLCO <50 %, and increased serum concentrations of CCL18, S-100‑beta protein, and NT-pro-BNP.

Published: November 2020

Aim      To study the right ventricular (RV) myocardial longitudinal systolic strain in patient with RV myocardial infarction (MI), and pulmonary embolism (PE) with and without McConnell’ phenomenon.

Material and methods  This study included 53 patients with PE (mean age, 59.0±15.1 years; men, 58.5 %) and 30 patients with RVMI (mean age, 61.8±10.9 years; men, 90 %). Longitudinal strain of basal, medial and apical segments of the RV free wall (RVFW) and the interventricular septum (IVS) was determined in the mode of two-dimensional speckle tracking. Ratio of the IVS apical strain to the RVFW strain (apical ratio) was calculated. Systolic excursion of the RVFW apical segment (apical excursion) was measured in the anatomical M-mode from the apical four-chamber view.

Results The McConnell’s sign was observed in 23 (43.4 %) of 53 patients with PE and in 16 (53.3 %) of 30 patients with RVMI (p>0.05). Irrespective of the cause for the RV damage, patients with the McConnell’s sign had higher values of the apical ratio (1.69±0.50 vs. 0.95±0.22; p<0.001; cutoff point, 1.18) and apical excursion (7.9±1.7 vs. 2.6±1.4 mm; p<0.001; cutoff point, 5.0 mm). Apical excursion closely correlated with the value of apical ratio (r=0.65; p<0.001) but not with the RVFW apical segment strain (r= –0.07; p>0.05).

Conclusion      Incidence of the McConnell’s sign was similar in patients with PE and RVMI. McConnell’s sign is based on a passive systolic shift of the RVFW apical segment, which develops during contraction of the IVS apical segment. The greater the ratio of IVS apical segment to RBFW global strain the greater the amplitude of this shift. With the ratio value of 1.18 or more, the systolic shift of RVFW apical segment was >5 mm, which was visually perceived as the McConnell’s sign.
Prevention of Diastolic Dysfunction Caused by Doxorubicin by Mitochondrial Antioxidant Plastomitin

Published: November 2020

Aim      An attempt to prevent the development of diastolic dysfunction (DD) with the mitochondrial antioxidant plastomitin on a model of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. DD is a type of chronic heart failure. Due to the increasing number of patients with this condition and the absence of effective therapy, development of means for DD correction is a relevant objective.

Material and methods  Cardiomyopathy was modeled in 17 rats by two subcutaneous injections of doxorubicin 2 mg/kg/week. The other group (n=17), also administered with doxorubicin, received plastomicin 0.32 mg/kg daily subcutaneously. Left ventricular function was evaluated with echocardiography (EchoCG) and cardiac catheterization with simultaneous pressure and volume monitoring.

Results According to EchoCG data the ejection fraction remained unchanged in the experimental groups. Cardiac catheterization showed disorders of both myocardial contractility and relaxability only in the doxorubicin group.

Conclusion      A course of plastomitin in combination with the doxorubicin treatment can maintain normal heart contractility and thereby, prevent the known doxorubicin cardiotoxicity.
ECG changes in COVID-19
Authors: Ryabykina G. V.
Published: November 2020

Aim      To evaluate changes in 12-lead ECG in patients with coronavirus infection.

Materials and methods This article describes signs of electrocardiographic right ventricular “stress” in patients with COVID-19. 150 ECGs of 75 COVID-19 patients were analyzed in the Institute of Cardiology of the National Medical Research Centre for Therapy and Preventive Medicine. The diagnosis was based on the clinical picture of community-acquired pneumonia, data of chest multispiral computed tomography, and a positive test for COVID-19. ECG was recorded both in 3-6 and in 12 leads. Signs of right ventricular (RV) stress, so-called systolic overload (high R and inverted TV1–3 and TII, III, aVF), and diastolic overload (RV wall hypertrophy and cavity dilatation; complete or incomplete right bundle branch block) were evaluated.

Results The most common signs for impaired functioning of the right heart include emergence of the RV P wave phase (41.3 %), incomplete right bundle branch block (42.6 %), ECG of the SIQ IIITIII type (33.3 %) typical for thromboembolic complications, and signs of RV hypertrophy, primarily increased SV5–6 (14.7 %). These changes are either associated with signs of RV myocardial stress (16 %) or appear on the background of signs for diffuse hypoxia evident as tall, positive, sharp-ended T waves in most leads (28 %).

Conclusion      A conclusive, comprehensive assessment of the reversal of hemodynamic disorders and electrocardiographic dynamics in patients with COVID-19 will be possible later, when more data become available.
