[Adverse reactions in the treatment of patients with non-tuberculous lung mycobacterial pulmonary disease and the possibility of their solution].

Aim: To study the adverse reactions that develop as a result of complex antibiotic therapy in patients with non-tuberculous lung mycobacterial (NTML) and to determine methods for their elimination without compromising the effectiveness of NTML treatment.

Materials And Methods: Examined 147 patients with confirmed NTML, for which they received treatment in accordance with the results of drug susceptibility of the pathogen. Before and during treatment, a study of clinical, biochemical blood tests, urinalysis, electrocardiogram, external respiration function, ultrasound of the abdominal organs and kidneys was performed.

STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL BONE FEATURES IN CHILDREN RESIDING IN THE RADIOLOGICALLY CONTAMINATED TERRITORIES OF UKRAINE.

Objective: Evaluation of structural features and metabolic/biochemical abnormalities of the bone tissue and relevant regulation patterns in children, residing in the radiologically contaminated territories (RCT).

Materials And Methods: Children (n = 148) aged 7 to 18 years old were involved in the study. Bone mineral density (BMD) is given in 3 grades according to the mean square deviation values, namely Grade I - standard (n = 75),Grade II - reduced (n = 45) and Grade III - very low one (n = 28).

During Postnatal Ontogenesis, the Development of a Microvascular Bed in an Intestinal Villus Depends on Intussusceptive Angiogenesis.

The mechanisms responsible for the growth and development of vascular beds in intestinal villi during postnatal ontogenesis remain enigmatic. For instance, according to the current consensus, in the sprouting type of angiogenesis, there is no blood flow in the rising capillary sprout. However, it is known that biomechanical forces resulting from blood flow play a key role in these processes.

A local or a stranger? Comparison of autochthonous vs. allochthonous microalgae potential for bioremediation of coal mine drainage water.

Coal mining endangers the environment by contaminating of soil, surface, and ground water with coal mine drainage water (CMW) polluted by heavy metals. Microalgal cultures, hyper-accumulators of heavy metals, represent a promising solution for CMW biotreatment. A bottleneck of this approach is the availability of microalgal strains that combine a large capacity for heavy metal biocapture with a high resilience to their toxic effects.
