[The relationship of exudative age-related macular degeneration with lacrimal fluid chemokines in elderly patients.].

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), along with other age-associated ophthalmologies, is a significant cause of loss of visual functions among the elderly, but the relationship of exudative AMD with lacrimal fluid chemokines has not been sufficiently studied. The aim of the work was to study the relationship of exudative AMD with lacrimal fluid chemokines in elderly patients. The content of chemokines in the lacrimal fluid was studied in 92 patients (184 eyes) 60-74 years old with exudative AMD and 84 patients (168 eyes) 60-74 years old without ophthalmopathology using a certified MAGRIX (USA) immunoassay device with Luminex technology on the xMAX platform.

[Telmisartan chronotherapy and its influence on the indicators of the daily profile blood pressure.].

Arterial hypertension is one of the most common life-threatening diseases, adequate control of which is largely achieved by antihypertensive drugs, including the use of telmisartan. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of telmisartan chronotherapy on the parameters of daily monitoring of blood pressure during the daytime and at night in elderly patients with hypertension. The study is based on a comprehensive examination of 150 patients aged 60-74 years suffering from hypertension, who are divided into 2 groups: the main (n=76) and control (n=74).

Nanocomposites Based on Pyrolyzed Polyacrylonitrile Doped with FeCoCr/C Transition Metal Alloy Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Structure, and Electromagnetic Properties.

In the last decade, the development of new materials that absorb electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has received research interest as they can significantly enhance the performance of electronic devices and prevent adverse effects caused by electromagnetic pollution. Electromagnetic radiation absorbers with a low weight and small thickness of the absorber layer, good absorption capacity, and a wide frequency response bandwidth are highly demanded. Here, for the first time, the properties of polymer nanocomposites FeCoCr/C synthesized by doping FeCoCr alloy nanoparticles into a polymer matrix of pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile are investigated.

[Laboratory diagnostics of ovarian cancer among the elderly in the parameters of immunoglobulins and phagocytic activity of blood.].

Due to the increase in the proportion of elderly women, the prevalence of ovarian cancer is increasing, which requires the search for new methods of its diagnosis. The aim of the work is to analyze the content and informativeness of immunoglobulins and phagocytic activity of peripheral blood to improve the diagnosis of ovarian cancer among elderly women. In 78 patients with ovarian cancer aged 65-70 years immunological and spectrophotometric methods studied phagocytic activity and the level of peripheral blood immunoglobulins.

[Immunoassay and discriminant analysis to improve the diagnosis of ovarian cancer in the elderly.].

Ovarian cancer is a common pathology in the structure of tumors among elderly women. The aim of the work is to identify the leading indicators of interleukin profile to improve the diagnosis of ovarian cancer in the elderly. Enzyme immunoassay studied serum levels of interleukins in 78 patients with ovarian cancer stage IIB-IIIB according to the classification of FIGO at the age of 65-70 years and 42 women of similar age without ovarian cancer at the time of the study and in history.
