Unlabelled: Intrinsic capacity and quality of life of older adults are determined by many factors, including the functional state of the organ of vision.
Purpose: This study assessed the visual functions of elderly residents of Northern European Russia and examined the relationship between visual impairment and sociodemographic characteristics, ophthalmic conditions, and preservation of work capacity and social functions.
Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study included a random population sample of older adults (ages 60-74) from Arkhangelsk, Russia (=604).
This study investigates the use of photoluminescent amphiphilic porous silicon nanoparticles (αϕ-pSiNPs) as effective ultrasound (US) amplifiers for cancer sonodynamic theranostics. αϕ-pSiNPs were synthesized via a novel top-down approach involving porous silicon (pSi) films electrochemical etching, borate oxidation, and hydrophobic coating with octadecylsilane (C18), resulting in milling into nanoparticles with hydrophilic exteriors and hydrophobic interiors. These properties promote gas trapping and cavitation nucleation, significantly lowering the US cavitation threshold and resulting in selective destruction of cancer cells in the presence of nanoparticles.

This study assesses the impact of alcohol consumption levels on mortality and investigates mortality predictors among Russians, including people treated for alcohol-related diagnoses (narcology patients).
Methods: We examined 2629 men and women aged 35-69 years who participated in the Know Your Heart study (2015-17), Arkhangelsk, Russia.
Objective: The aim of the study is to study the prevalence of dental anomalies (DA) and assess the need for orthodontic treatment (NOT) among adults in the Arctic part of the Arkhangelsk region.
Materials And Methods: In total, 1068 adult residents of Arkhangelsk and Primorski rural district aged 35-90 years took part in a cross-sectional study. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used to assess the prevalence of DA and NOT in the study population.
Article Synopsis
- * A survey involving 1,089 unvaccinated participants revealed that 59.7% had experienced COVID-19, with 47.1% of those exhibiting symptoms and 8.6% hospitalized, while 96.2% of asymptomatic cases were not reported.
- * Findings indicate a link between older age and poor self-rated health with increased COVID-19 severity and hospitalization, emphasizing the need for better surveillance to detect asymptomatic infections.
