Background: Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm (ExCAA) is a very rare pathology. However, due to local compression symptoms, risk of CNS ischemia, and the potential risk of rupture, it constitutes a significant clinical problem. The small number of cases, substantial differences in etiology and morphology, and various treatment methods of ExCAA disturb the analysis of this pathology.

Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis is chronic progressive disease, which decrease functions of musculoskeletal system including chest area. Those changes influences respiratory mechanics, worsen conditions of proper ventilation of lungs.

Objectives: Rating of functional and respiratory parameters and dependence between them at patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

We report the results of measurements of thermal conductivity coefficient dependence on temperature of single crystals of SrIr4In2Ge4 and EuIr4In2Ge4. The measurements were carried out over the temperature range of ∼5-300 K. The EuIr4In2Ge4 crystal, unlike its strontium analog SrIr4In2Ge4, shows an amazing anisotropy: At low temperatures, it displays significantly smaller thermal conductivity in the ab plane than in the direction of c axis, while at the high ones the thermal conductivity in the direction perpendicular to the c axis increases well above that of in the c axis.

Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory, progressive disease, which leads to deterioration of chest and spine mobility and decrease of physical capacity with abnormal chest movement patterns. We aimed to assess the usefulness of the 4DBODY technology for evaluation of the effectiveness of AS treatment.

Material And Methods: The 4DBODY technology was assessed on single AS patient with axial involvement.

Mixing molecular cations in hybrid lead halide perovskites is a highly effective approach to enhance the stability and performance of optoelectronic devices based on these compounds. In this work, we prepare and study novel mixed 3D methylammonium (MA)-ethylammonium (EA) MA EA PbI ( < 0.4) hybrid perovskites.
