Objective: Aim: Optimization of the clinical and diagnostic examination algorithm of patients with cross bite, aggravated by cranio-mandibular dysfunction and postural disorders.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: 22 patients aged 13-16 years with cross bite with displacement of the lower jaw were examined. The first group consisted of 15 people with a right-sided displacement of the lower jaw, the second - 7 patients with a left-sided one.

Objective: Aim: To study the general activity of NO synthases (gNOS), the activity of inducible and constitutive isoforms of NO synthase, the activity of arginases, and the concentration of nitrites in the nasal mucosa under the conditions of local treatment of chronic atrophic rhinitis (AR) with quercetin and platelet-rich plasma (PRP therapy)..

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 118 patients divided into two groups: control (n=20) and experimental (patients with AR, n=98).

Article Synopsis
  • Spider pulsars are millisecond pulsars with low-mass companion stars that cause delays and eclipses in pulsar radio emissions.
  • The magnetic field of the companion star affects both the binary system's evolution and the pulsar's eclipse characteristics, with evidence showing increased magnetic activity during eclipses.
  • Observations of pulsar PSR B1744-24A highlight a highly magnetized environment, suggesting potential links to fast radio bursts (FRBs) and indicating that some FRBs may have binary companions.

Europe's forests, particularly in Ukraine, are highly vulnerable to climate change. The maintenance and improvement of forest health are high-priority issues, and various stakeholders have shown an interest in understanding and utilizing ecological interactions between trees and their associated microorganisms. Endophyte microbes can influence the health of trees either by directly interacting with the damaging agents or modulating host responses to infection.
