Disgust is a vital emotion in the avoidance of illness. Human adults across cultures show disgust towards sources of potential contamination or pathogens, and elect to avoid their ingestion or even to look at them. Stomach rhythms appear to play an important role: disgust reduces normogastric power, and the pharmacological normalisation of gastric state reduces disgust avoidance.

Materials And Methods: The study involved 60 people (mean age 25±0.85 years), who were divided into three groups depending on the level of personal and situational anxiety according to the Spielberger scale modified by Yu.
In this study, we screened eight commercially available brands of -containing probiotic preparations and dietary supplements for resistance towards commonly administered antibiotics of different classes. According to disc diffusion results, most of the isolates were resistant to vancomycin and susceptible to penicillin-type antibiotics (ampicillin and amoxicillin), carbapenems (imipenem, meropenem, and ertapenem), and inhibitors of protein synthesis (chloramphenicol, erythromycin, tetracycline, clarithromycin, and linezolid). However, based on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values, six strains were reconsidered as resistant to tetracycline.

Bacillus anthracis is the anthrax causative agent. For its epidemiology, it is important not only to identify the etiological agent but also to determine the patterns of its evolution and spread. Modern methods of molecular biology make it possible to detect a number of genetic markers suitable for indicating and differentiating the strains of B.

Methods: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for the remaining CHEK2 allele was examined in 50 CHEK2-driven BCs using allele-specific PCR assays for the germline mutations and analysis of surrounding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
Aim: To determine the functional diagnostics criteria for predicting the effectiveness of using 2% and 4% solutions articaine without vasoconstrictor and with epinephrine content of 1:200.000.
Material And Methods: The study involved 357 patients (193 women and 164 men) aged 20 to 35 years.
The Aim Of The Study: Was the assessment of the efficacy of using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Ketorol Express as a preventive analgesia in the treatment of acute pulpitis in molars.
Materials And Methods: The study comprised 128 individuals, 76 (59.4%) women and 52 (40.
Aim: The analysis of the criteria for predicting the effectiveness and safety of the use of periodontal anesthesia methods in the treatment of dental caries was carried out.
Materials And Methods: The study involved 78 patients: 41 women and 37 men aged from 25 to 56 years without severe somatic pathology, who needed treatment for dental caries. Intraligamental and modified periodontal anesthesia using a 4% articaine solution with different concentrations of vasoconstrictor were used as methods of anesthesia.
Introduction: There is some evidence suggesting a link between BRCA1/2 germline mutations and increased risk of gastric cancer.
Methods: Endoscopic screening for stomach malignancies was performed in 120 BRCA1 mutation carriers in order to evaluate the probability of detecting the tumor disease.
Results: No instances of gastric cancer were revealed at the first visit.
PALB2 is а high-penetrance gene for hereditary breast cancer (BC). Our study aimed to investigate the spectrum of PALB2 mutations in Russian cancer patients. PALB2 sequencing revealed pathogenic variants in 3/190 (1.

Methods: We analyzed a large data set of Russian breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC) patients, who were subjected to founder mutation tests or full-length BRCA1 and BRCA2 analysis.
Results: The most commonly applied test, which included four founder mutations (BRCA1: 5382insC, 4153delA, 185delAG; BRCA2: 6174delT), identified BRCA1 or BRCA2 heterozygosity in 399/8533 (4.
The aim of the study was providing rationale for using a new form of Ketorol Express for pain relief in outpatient dental practice. The study comprised 85 patients with an average age of 43.2 years, who were prescribed a three-day course of Ketorol Express therapy after a complex traumatic tooth extraction.

Materials And Methods: The analysis was performed by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms method. The objects of the study were Edilbay fat-tailed sheep ( = 500) at the breeding plant Volgograd-Edilbay (Volgograd region), Volgograd fine-wool sheep ( = 500) at the breeding plant Romashkovskiy (Volgograd region), and Kalmyk fat-tailed sheep ( = 500) at the breeding plant Kirovsky (the Republic of Kalmykia, Yashkul rayon).
The study provides phenotypic and molecular analyses of the antibiotic resistance in 20 Lactobacillus strains including 11 strains newly isolated from fermented plant material. According to the results of disc diffusion method, 90% of tested lactobacilli demonstrated sensitivity to clindamycin and 95% of strains were susceptible to tetracycline, erythromycin, and rifampicin. Ampicillin and chloramphenicol were found to inhibit all bacteria used in this study.

colonizing gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts of humans and animals is widely used in manufacturing of fermented products and as probiotics. These bacteria may function as vehicles of antibiotic resistance genes, which can be transferred to pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, monitoring and control of transmissible antibiotic resistance determinants in these microorganisms is necessary to approve their safety status.

The aims of this in vivo study were to evaluate the impact of needle bevel design on patients' pain perception and the mechanical deformation of the needle tip after the injection. In a prospective single-blinded trial, 150 patients received conventional infiltration anaesthesia for dental treatment by one examiner. Patients were randomized for one out of three different needle bevel types (scalpel-designed bevel needle (SB), n=50; triple bevel needle (TB), n=50; regular bevel needle (RB), n=50).

Purpose: Large genomic rearrangements (LGRs) constitute a significant share of pathogenic BRCA1 mutations. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is a leading method for LGR detection; however, it is entirely based on the use of commercial kits, includes relatively time-consuming hybridization step, and is not convenient for large-scale screening of recurrent LGRs.
Materials And Methods: We developed and validated the droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay, which covers the entire coding region of BRCA1 gene and is capable to precisely quantitate the copy number for each exon.
