MOLDOVA - SYSTEMATIC PREPAREDNESS FOR MEDICAL RESPONSE TO RADIATION EMERGENCIES.

Under the conditions of a full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine, the danger of the development of radiation and nuclear emergency situations in the region has increased significantly. An external independent assessment of the ability of health care system of the Republic of Moldova to respond to emergency situations revealed the need to develop a training program for medical workers on the basics of responding to radiation and nuclear threats. In addition, the evaluation recommended the development of a standard for victims care taking into account the existing evidence base.

STATE INSTITUTION «NATIONAL RESEARCH CENTER FOR RADIATION MEDICINE, HEMATOLOGY AND ONCOLOGY OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES OF UKRAINE» - RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND SCIENTIFIC ADVANCE IN 2023.

Research activities and scientific advance achieved in 2023 at the State Institution «National Research Center for Radiation Medicine of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine» (NRCRM) concerning medical problems of the Chornobyl disaster, radiation medicine, radiobiology, radiation hygiene and epidemiology in collaboration with the WHO network of medical preparedness and assistance in radiation accidents are outlined in the annual report. The report presents the results of fundamental and applied research works of the study of radiation effects and health effects of the Chornobyl accident. The institution has been reorganized and since December 2023 has been called the State Institution «National Research Center for Radiation Medicine, Hematology and Oncology» (NRCRM).

EXPRESSION OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN GENES IN STEREOTYPED CASES FROM UKRAINIAN COHORT OF CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA PATIENTS.

Background: Analysis of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGHV) rearrangements expressed in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells has provided insights into the B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire in CLL. In more than 40% of CLL patients, (quasi)identical or stereotyped BCR is expressed. The recent data point at the non-stochastic expression of immunoglobulin light lambda (IGLV) or kappa (IGKV) chains as well.

All-magnonic repeater based on bistability.

Bistability, a universal phenomenon found in diverse fields such as biology, chemistry, and physics, describes a scenario in which a system has two stable equilibrium states and resets to one of the two states. The ability to switch between these two states is the basis for a wide range of applications, particularly in memory and logic operations. Here, we present a universal approach to achieve bistable switching in magnonics, the field processing data using spin waves.

Magnetic anisotropy and GGG substrate stray field in YIG films down to millikelvin temperatures.

Quantum magnonics investigates the quantum-mechanical properties of magnons, such as quantum coherence or entanglement for solid-state quantum information technologies at the nanoscale. The most promising material for quantum magnonics is the ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet (YIG), which hosts magnons with the longest lifetimes. YIG films of the highest quality are grown on a paramagnetic gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate.
