QUESTION ASKED: We sought to determine the likelihood that pediatric and adolescent acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients experience a gap in health insurance coverage in the first 2 years of therapy. SUMMARY ANSWER: We found that 12% of patients with ALL in our sample who had insurance at diagnosis experienced a gap in insurance coverage during the first 2 years of therapy; that is, they had one or more clinic encounter at which they did not have insurance. Patients with public insurance at diagnosis were more likely to experience an insurance gap than those with private insurance at diagnosis, and those diagnosed in more recent years were less likely to experience a gap. METHODS/APPROACH: We determined insurance status at all clinic encounters at a tertiary children’s hospital within 2 years of diagnosis for patients diagnosed with ALL between 1998 and 2010, and calculated the odds of a gap occurring on the basis of demographic and diagnostic variables. BIAS, CONFOUNDING FACTOR(S), DRAWBACKS: Our assessment is from years before the roll-out of key Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provisions, which should improve insurance coverage for pediatric and adolescent patients with ALL. In addition, we lacked information on patient or caregiver socioeconomic status, which may be important for explaining insurance gaps. Finally, our assessment is based on a single institution. REAL-LIFE IMPLICATIONS: Gaps in health insurance may exacerbate the financial and emotional burden associated with pediatric and adolescent cancer. Understanding the likelihood that these gaps will occur, as well as predictors of insurance gaps, will allow social workers and other providers to help families manage anticipated changes in insurance, with the goal of reducing unnecessary burden.

The purpose of the study is to estimate of probable predictors for the probable predictors of
knee joint osteoarthritis progression in X-ray negative stage based on ultrasound examination.
The sixty five patients with X-ray negative gonarthritis were selected into the study. Both X-ray and ultrasound
examinations were performed for each of the patients (before the study and since one year). The authors
determined degeneration of the medial meniscus and articular surfaces roughness had the most degree of sensitivity
(91%), and cartilage thickness of medial joint parts (86%). The degenerative changes of the posterior cruciate
ligament had the lowest sensitivity (42%), and degeneration in the lateral meniscus (47%). During the regression
analysis only two quality indicator such as cartilage thickness of the medial parts, and articular surfaces
brought significant contribution to the risk prediction of the osteoarthritis progression (odds ratio=22.7 and 71.4;
p=0.018 and 0.002, respectively). The degeneration in the anterior cruciate ligament was not significant for the
model (odds ratio= 26,3; p=0.05).

The purpose of this study was to develop complex diagnostic and corrective measures during
pregnancy in women with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia.
Material and Subjects: the research object was 380 women who were treated in Tula regional perinatal
centre and Maternity hospital №1 of Tula with signs of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia during 2008-
2010 yy., and as a comparison group 45 women in the absence of signs of dysplasia in the same time period. To
assess the magnesium therapy effectiveness, the women of experimental group were divided into two subgroups
(190+190) depending on the use/non-use of the preparation of magnesium with early pregnancy term.
Results: undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia during pregnancy is clinically manifested by neurocirculatory
dystonia, vascular disorders and hemorrhagic syndrome, as well as a high frequency of placenta insufficiency,
threatened abortion in 1-3 trimesters, isthmic-cervical insufficiency, early toxicosis and anemia of
pregnant. The etiological-pathogenetical treatment was resulted in to the improvement of pregnant women
health, reduction of the frequency of different complaints and decreased of average weight of these pregnancy
complications. Normalization of parameters of oxyproline and magnesium in the blood of pregnant women in
12-22-34 weeks of pregnancy due to magnesium therapy was laboratory confirmed.
Conclusion: undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia during pregnancy contributes to the development
of certain pathological conditions of various systems of the body and it can be effectively corrected by magnesium drugs (Magne-B6) under the control of oxyproline and magnesium in the blood of pregnant women. Magnesium
therapy ensures the accessibility, quality and efficiency of health prevention activities to women with
undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia that has a significant impact on the effectiveness of antenatal preparation
and enhances the quality of life of pregnant women.

The work is devoted to the study of thermoregulation of rats under high pressure in the respiratory-
gas medium, both experimentally and in mathematical models. Experiments conducted on rats in a hyperbaric
chamber, where the pressure of the gas medium was raised to 4,1 MPa. The pressure increase in the hyperbaric
chamber up to 2,1 MPa leds to augmentation of oxygen consumption by 1.7 times and at a pressure of 4.1
MPa – to oxygen consumption by 2,3 times. Thermo-neutral zone in animals, on the contrary, is progressively
decreased with increasing pressure in the hyperbaric chamber. Using a mathematical model, it has been shown
that the augmentation of pressure in the hyperbaric chamber to 2,1 MPa leads to increase the heat transfer in 1,9
times. The augmentation of pressure in the hyperbaric chamber to 4,1 MPa increases the heat transfer from the
organism body in the medium in 2,6 times.

Published: February 2016

The purpose of this article was the analysis of some personnel problems during the period of
structural changes in the outpatient consulting department of a large urban hospital. For the analysis of the statistical
indicators, the followings methods were used: historical, sociological, statistical, mathematical, regulatory,
timing method. The results show that the structural changes in the outpatient consulting department will inevitably
lead to increased staff turnover, to reduce the indicators in staffing levels. This can reduce the quality and
availability of medical care. Large medical institution is able to rapidly adapt to some transformations due to the
greater amount of resources and opportunities.
Conclusion. To improve the quality and accessibility of medical care in conditions of financing deficiency,
an organization of specialized outpatient care is more appropriate in the outpatient consulting department,
which is part of a multiprofile hospital.

Real chaotic and stochastic analysis of the two movements (tremor was considered as involuntary
movements and tapping - arbitrary) shows them as chaotic movements (involuntary on the results of the test,
not by the presence of the target). The authors introduce new criteria for separating these two types of motion in
the form of matrices of pairwise comparisons of samples tremorograms and tappingrams. Identifying differences
between the concrete (obtained continuously, during the sequential measurement) that are compared in pairs in
one subject groups was performed using the Wilcoxon test. The increase in the number of &#34;common&#34; pairs of
samples of tappingrams compared to tremorograms demonstrates a partial increase of phase-matching due to the
afferentation and engaging mental activity. This indicates the beginning of a shift from the chaotic regime to
stochastic. The increase in common pairs of tapping may be possible due to the change in patterns of fluctuations.
The authors propose a new calculation of quasi-attractors of these two types of movements that allow the
identification of the differences in the physiological state of the subject. The concrete examples of the changes in
the parameters of the matrices of paired comparisons and quasi-attractors are demonstrated. The authors present
a method of analysis of autocorrelation functions when partitioning the interval (-1; 1) into four parts. Using the
analysis of the density autocorrelation functions and tremorograms and tappingrams shows a significant difference
between involuntary movements (tremor) and arbitrary movement (tapping).

Currently, the influence of extreme conditions of KHMAO-Ugra on a growing body of students
has not been adequately studied. This problem may manifest itself in the near future not only in reducing
mental and physical performance, impaired health, reducing the efficiency of educational process, but in serious
abnormalities of the child&#180;s body as a whole. In this study, the methods of system analysis were the examination
of memory and attention indicators in the students. This study was aimed at obtaining objective data on the state
of psycho-physiological functions of in the students at different ages in the influence of meteorological factors in
Ugra. According to the obtained data, it becomes possible to assess the dynamics of the efforts of a student in
mastering of knowledge in a given learning period as it matures. In this case it is possible to speak about the
optimal management of the educational process, individual approach to student. Thus, system analysis based on
new methods developed by the authors (using a computer) provides an estimate of the parameters of psychophysiological
indicators of students according to age and sex differences within compartmental-cluster analysis
of biological systems.

Mathematical methods and models used in forecasting problems may relate to a wide variety of
topics: from the regression analysis, time series analysis, formulation and evaluation of expert opinions, simulation,
systems of simultaneous equations, discriminant analysis, logit and probit models, logical unit decision
functions, variance or covariance analysis, rank correlation and contingency tables, etc.
In the analysis of the phenomenon over a long timeperiod, for example, the incidence of long-term dynamics
with a forecast of further development of the process, you should use the time series, which is influenced
by the following factors:
• Emerging trends of the series (the trend in cumulative long-term effects of many factors on the dynamics
of the phenomenon under study - ascending or descending);
• forming a series of cyclical fluctuations related to the seasonality of the disease;
• random factors.
In our study, we conducted a study to identify cyclical time series of long-term dynamics of morbidity of
HFRS and autumn bank vole population. This study was performed using the autocorrelation coefficient.
As a result of time-series studies of incidence of HFRS, indicators autumn bank vole population revealed
no recurrence, and these figures are random variables, which is confirmed by three tests: nonrepeatability of time
series, the assessment increase and decrease time-series analysis of the sum of squares. This shows that a number of indicators of the time series are random variables, contains a strong non-linear trend, to identify which need
further analysis, for example by means of regression analysis.

Scientific basics of creation of the modern internally coordinated system of terms and definitions for safety and health
at work are covered. Terms consider dual nature of work as material process of world transformation and social relation
concerning assignment of a product of work. The central concept of system is the concept of harm. All terms of system are
broken into five groups in compliance with logic of the organization of safety and health at work: the general concepts
of work and production, types of harm and threats of life and to health of the person occupied with work, the concepts
connected with working conditions, the concepts connected with activities for safety, the concepts connected with means of
protection. The described system of terms makes contents of the new interstate standard GOST 12.0.002-2014.
Quantitative Easing and Volatility Spillovers Across Countries and Asset Classes
Authors: Yang Zihui , Zhou Yinggang 
Published: February 2016

We identify networks of volatility spillovers and examine time-varying spillover intensities with daily implied volatilities of U.S. Treasury bonds, global stock indices, and commodities. The U.S. stock market is the center of the international volatility spillover network, and its volatility spillover to other markets has intensified since 2008. Moreover, U.S. quantitative easing alone explains 40%–55% of intensifying spillover from the United States. The addition of interest rate and currency factors does not diminish the dominant role of quantitative easing. Our findings highlight the primary contribution of U.S. unconventional monetary policy to volatility spillovers and potential global systemic risk. This paper was accepted by Neng Wang, finance.

ObjectivesT-cells are considered to play an important role in the inflammatory response causing arthroplasty failure. The study objectives were to investigate the composition and distribution of CD4+ T-cell phenotypes in the peripheral blood (PB) and synovial fluid (SF) of patients undergoing revision surgery for failed metal-on-metal (MoM) and metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) hip arthroplasties, and in patients awaiting total hip arthroplasty.MethodsIn this prospective case-control study, PB and SF were obtained from 22 patients (23 hips) undergoing revision of MoM (n = 14) and MoP (n = 9) hip arthroplasties, with eight controls provided from primary hip osteoarthritis cases awaiting arthroplasty. Lymphocyte subtypes in samples were analysed using flow cytometry.ResultsThe percentages of CD4+ T-cell subtypes in PB were not different between groups. The CD4+ T-cells in the SF of MoM hips showed a completely different distribution of phenotypes compared with that found in the PB in the same patients, including significantly decreased CD4+ T-central memory cells (p < 0.05) and increased T-effector memory cells (p < 0.0001) in the SF. Inducible co-stimulator (ICOS) was the only co-stimulatory molecule with different expression on CD4+ CD28+ cells between groups. In PB, ICOS expression was increased in MoM (p < 0.001) and MoP (p < 0.05) cases compared with the controls. In SF, ICOS expression was increased in MoM hips compared with MoP hips (p < 0.05).ConclusionsIncreased expression of ICOS on CD4+ T-cells in PB and SF of patients with failed arthroplasties suggests that these cells are activated and involved in generating immune responses. Variations in ICOS expression between MoM and MoP hips may indicate different modes of arthroplasty failure. Cite this article: Professor P. A. Revell.

The forests degradation could bring the forests into a temporary or might bepermanent destruction not only in forest vegetation density and structure, but also in species composition. A study had been carried outto examined the impact of peatland forests degradation on their species diversity composition in Ketapang, West Kalimantan peatlandforest. Stratified random sampling was used to distinguished forest degradation class (low, intermediate and high degradation levels)Â
based on the differences in spectra image and confirmed with field checking by measuring forest canopy opening to measure thedegradation levels. Six to twelve of a 20x100m plots were established to sample tree structure and composition distributed alongpeatland landscape. All trees species diameter >5cm was registered an species identified. Results indicated that tree diversity wassignificantly reduce due to forest degradation, in low, intermediate, and high degraded forest were 82, 72, and 48 consecutively. Forestdegradation is not only resulted more than 50% of important species loss in high degraded peatland forest but also reducing ~40% treeabundance. Ten species were found in high degraded forest, e.g., Calophylum inophyllum, Cyathocalyx biovulatus, Neoscortechiniakingii, and Eugenia cerina, were not present in low degraded one. The species composition and abundance shifting due to forestdegradation should be considered on peatland forest management to hinder permanent species loss.
