Polymer-Based Conductive Nanocomposites for the Development of Bioanodes Using Membrane-Bound Enzyme Systems of Bacteria in Biofuel Cells.

The development of biofuel cells (BFCs) currently has high potential since these devices can be used as alternative energy sources. This work studies promising materials for biomaterial immobilization in bioelectrochemical devices based on a comparative analysis of the energy characteristics (generated potential, internal resistance, power) of biofuel cells. Bioanodes are formed by the immobilization of membrane-bound enzyme systems of VKM V-1280 bacteria containing pyrroloquinolinquinone-dependent dehydrogenases into hydrogels of polymer-based composites with carbon nanotubes.

[FORMATION OF BILIODIGESTIVE ANASTOMOSES BY THE METHOD OF HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRIC WELDING].

The aim of the study was to develop a new method of formation of biliodigestive anastomoses, which would make it possible to form anastomoses both on unchanged bile ducts and in conditions of their inflammation. An experimental study was carried out on 50 rabbits of the "Chinshila" breed, which formed biliodigestive and interintestinal anastomoses by the method of high-frequency (HF) electric welding using the "Patonmed EKVZ-300" coagulator. Anastomoses were formed both on non-inflamed tissues and under conditions of biliary peritonitis.

Software for Bioprinting.

The bioprinting of heterogeneous organs is a crucial issue. To reach the complexity of such organs, there is a need for highly specialized software that will meet all requirements such as accuracy, complexity, and others. The primary objective of this review is to consider various software tools that are used in bioprinting and to reveal their capabilities.

4D Cubism: Modeling, Animation, and Fabrication of Artistic Shapes.

This article deals with creating artistic shapes in a cubist style. The authors propose adding cubist features to (or cubification of) time-variant sculptural shapes. A new concept of a 4D cubist camera is introduced for multiple projections from 4D space-time to 3D space, and 3D printing for stop-motion animation is applied.

SURGICAL PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE HYPOPARATHYROIDISM IN PATIENTS OPERATED ON THYROID GLAND.

The objective of the research was to develop and evaluate the algorithm of prevention and treatment of postoperative hypoparathyroidism (PHPT) based on determining parathyroid glands (PTG) viability and the use of antihypoxant-antioxidant therapy in the postoperative period. The research was based on the results of a comprehensive examination and treatment of 60 patients who were operated for thyroid gland diseases. The patients underwent inpatient treatment at the surgical department of Ivano-Frankivsk Central City Clinical Hospital and Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Oncology Center from 2015 to 2017.
