Anxiety and Depression Among Transgender People: Findings from a Cross-Sectional Online Survey in Russia.

As we still do not know enough about the mental health concerns of gender minority people in Russia, there is a need to initiate research on these issues. We aimed to examine the frequency of anxiety and depression symptoms in a Russian sample of transgender people. The study consisted of a structured online survey and was conducted throughout November 2019.

[Use of the hematological system Technicon H-1 for analysis of the effect of laser irradiation].

The effects of low-energy He-Ne laser (lightguide emission dose power 1.2-1.5 nw) on the morphologic and functional parameters of formed elements of the blood were experimentally studied with the use of the Technicon H-1 hematologic system.

[Mechanisms of the anticoagulation activity of new semi-synthetic heparinoids].

Compounds representing chemically modified derivatives of natural polysaccharides and possessing heparin-like properties have been obtained basing on new methods of sulphatization++ of hydroxyl-containing polymers. The study of the anticoagulation activity of mannan, starch, dextran sulfates permits a suggestion that these compounds realize their anticoagulant potential not through antithrombin-III. A relationship has been established between the properties of semi-synthetic heparinoids and sulfur percentage, molecular mass and the type of polymeric matrix.

[Pathogenetic characteristics of hemostatic disorders in chronic renal failure].

As many as 45 patients with terminal chronic renal failure (CRF) admitted to the hospital were examined for hemocoagulation and blood plasma content of medium-sized molecules (MSM). Animal (rabbit) experiments were made in vitro and in vivo to study the effect produced on hemocoagulation of MSM isolated from CFR patients' blood by acidic deproteinization, ultrafiltration and gel chromatography. Integrally, the MSM fraction was shown to exert marked anticoagulant and antiaggregation effects, to increase vascular permeability, promoting the development of hemorrhagic diathesis in CRF patients.

[Clinico-laboratory and pathomorphologic study of intravascular blood coagulation syndrome in experimental amniotic embolism].

The time-course of hemocoagulative and morphological changes affected by intravenous administration of amniotic fluids was examined in experiments on Chinchilla rabbits weighing 2.0-2.5 kg.

[A comprehensive laboratory evaluation of changes in the fibrinogen molecule in the diagnosis of acquired coagulopathy conditions].

A scheme of physicochemical determination of fibrinogen and the major molecular derivatives in a single sample of plasma is suggested, available for the majority of clinical laboratories. Such determination gives valuable information for a clinician. Among other things, the level of rapidly thrombin clotted fibrinogen portion is determined, as is the content of high-molecular fibrin monomer complexes, not clotted with thrombin, and the level of fibrinogen and fibrin proteolytic degradation products.
