The Fischer-Tropsch reaction in the aqueous phase over rhodium catalysts: a promising route to selective synthesis and separation of oxygenates and hydrocarbons.

In the present communication, we uncovered the aqueous phase Fischer-Tropsch reaction over rhodium catalysts. The reaction results in the synthesis and consecutive separation of hydrocarbons and oxygenates into two phases. Use of a rhodium Schiff base complex as a precursor for catalyst preparation allows efficient control of the Rh metal nanoparticle size distribution and leads to higher alcohol selectivity.

Development of opportunistic lesions in patients with HIV infection in the absence of pronounced immunodeficiency.

Aim: Statistical data concerning patients with opportunistic infections depending on parameters of immunity and the description of a number of clinical cases of development of opportunistic lesions in patients with HIV infection in the absence of the expressed immunodeficiency.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of the patients with HIV infection hospitalized in 2012-2015 in the Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital No. 2 of Moscow, and the clinical cases of patients with development of opportunistic lesions with satisfactory indicators of the immune status.

[Follow-up study of HIV-infected patients with prior cerebral toxoplasmosis].

Aim: To assess follow-up study results in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with prior cerebral toxoplasmosis (CT).

Subject And Methods: Follow-up study results were assessed in HIV-infected patients with prior CT.

Results: The fate of only 97 out of 137 (66% of the hospitalized) patients discharged from hospital is known, as 40 convalescents have been lost to follow up.

[Location of foci in cerebral toxoplasmosis in HIV-infected patients].

Aim: To analyze the data of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in its toxoplasmosis in HIV-infected patients.

Subject And Methods: The clinical picture of cerebral toxoplasmosis was studied in 207 patients aged 18-76 years with Stage 4B HIV infection concurrent with the disease. Brain MRI using an Obraz-1 low-field (0.

[Use of immunological and molecular biological methods to diagnose cerebral toxoplasmosis in HIV infection].

Cerebral toxoplasmosis is one of the leading causes of neurologic diseases with high mortality rates in patients with HIV infection. Invasion was difficult to diagnose for a number of objective reasons. The objective of the investigation was to determine the clinical sensitivity of different laboratory techniques as both a single study and their various combinations to verify the diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis in HIV-infected patients.
