[Comprehensive rehabilitation of spinal trauma patients with extended involvement of nursing staff and neurometabolic therapy].

Objective: Analysis of the effectiveness of the use of the drug Cytoflavin and the organization of the activities of nursing staff, within the framework of nursing care, in the complex therapy of patients with spinal cord injury (PSMT).

Material And Methods: Material and methods. 40 patients with PSMT due to a gunshot wound were examined, who were divided into two equal groups depending on the type of therapy performed: group 1 patients received the full volume of stage I medical rehabilitation (with additional use of neurodevelopmental techniques under the supervision of a Bobata department nurse) and standard drug therapy, including a course of intravenous Cytoflavin infusions followed by tablet form; group 2 patients received the full volume of stage I medical rehabilitation and standard drug therapy, but did not receive Cytoflavin.

Ecological and intrinsic drivers of foraging parameters of Eurasian lynx at a continental scale.

The estimation of foraging parameters is fundamental for understanding predator ecology. Predation and feeding can vary with multiple factors, such as prey availability, presence of kleptoparasites and human disturbance. However, our knowledge is mostly limited to local scales, which prevents studying effects of environmental factors across larger ecological gradients.

Organic Products of Fatty Acid and Magnesium Sulfate Mixtures after Gamma Radiolysis: Implications for Missions to Europa.

If ocean-derived materials are present at Europa's surface, they would represent accessible records of ocean chemistry and habitability, but such materials would be further processed by Europa's harsh radiation environment. In this study, saturated fatty acids were precipitated onto a Europa-relevant hydrated magnesium sulfate and exposed to gamma radiation doses up to 2 MGy at -196°C. Alkane chains, with carbon numbers one less than those of the starting fatty acids, were the most abundant radiolysis products in solvent and thermal extracts analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry.

Rapid Destruction of Lipid Biomarkers Under Simulated Cosmic Radiation.

Understanding how organics degrade under galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) is critical as we search for traces of ancient life on Mars. Even if the planet harbored life early in its history, its surface rocks have been exposed to ionizing radiation for about four billion years, potentially destroying the vast majority of biosignatures. In this study, we investigated for the first time the impact of simulated GCRs (using gamma rays) on several types of lipid biosignatures (including hopane C, sterane C, alkanes, and fatty acids [FAs]) in both the presence and absence of salts (NaCl, KCl, and MgCl).
