Gender Differences in the Level of Antibodies to Measles Virus in Adults.

Individuals without a protective antibody level are susceptible to measles infection. There are differences in the persistence of antibodies after vaccination and infection, while the impact of gender on this process has not been sufficiently studied. Measles Ig G antibodies were measured in 1742 employees of a large hospital facility-403 men and 1339 women aged from 25 to 67 years; 15% participants had antibody levels less than the protective threshold of ≥0.

The Influence of Complex Additives on the Synthesis of Aroma Substances by Gray Oyster Culinary-Medicinal Mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus (Agaricomycetes) during the Substrate Cultivation.

Aroma substances of mushrooms not only determine the qualitative characteristics of Basidiomycetes fruit bodies, but also exhibit medicinal properties. The chemical composition of the substrate for mushroom cultivation affects not only the growth processes and yield, but also is capable of causing the synthesis of secondary metabolites by mycelium and fruit bodies, such as volatiles, which exhibit a spectrum of biological activity. The purpose of the study was to determine the productivity and aroma profile of Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.

[EXPERIENCE OF TOTALLY TRANSCUTANEOUS ENDOPROSTHESIS OF THE INFRARENAL AORTA АNEURYSM].

Endovascular endoprosthesis infrarenal aorta constitutes a miniinvasive highly technological method of treatment of a life-thretening pathology. Experience of transcutaneous endoprosthesis of infrarenal aorta in 6 patients was presented. Possibility of a common femoral artery (CFA) suturing, using Prostar XL apparatus, was estimated on a stage of the endoprosthesis dimensions calculation in accordance to a CT and duplex US scanning data and recommendations of manufacturer.
