May Measurement Month 2021: an analysis of blood pressure screening results from Kazakhstan.

The May Measurement Month (MMM) screening campaign initiated by the International Society of Hypertension aimed to assess the prevalence of hypertension and associated risk factors to increase and improve population awareness of raised blood pressure (BP) and methods of prevention. The MMM is a cross-sectional survey of adults aged 18 years and over of both sexes who gave informed consent to participate in the survey and to have their BP measured. Kazakhstan participated in the campaign for the first time in 2021.

Dataset for Automatic Region-based Coronary Artery Disease Diagnostics Using X-Ray Angiography Images.

X-ray coronary angiography is the most common tool for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. It involves the injection of contrast agents into coronary vessels using a catheter to highlight the coronary vessel structure. Typically, multiple 2D X-ray projections are recorded from different angles to improve visualization.

Morphotropic Phase Boundary Enhanced Photocatalysis in Sm Doped BiFeO.

This paper presents the results of the synthesis of samarium-doped bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanoparticles by the solution combustion method. The dependence of BFO properties on the amount of the samarium (Sm) in the composition was studied. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Raman, Electron Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (EDRS) and Electron Magnetic Resonance (EMR).

Genome Sequence of Influenza B Epidemic Strain B/Almaty/8/2018.

An influenza virus strain, B/Almaty/8/2018, was isolated in Almaty (in southeastern Kazakhstan) during a human population surveillance study in 2018. Here, we present the nearly complete genome sequence of this epidemic strain, compared to the Yamagata-like and Victoria-like variants of the influenza B virus.

The Critical Shoulder Angle as a Diagnostic Measure for Osteoarthritis and Rotator Cuff Pathology.

The purpose of this study was to correlate critical shoulder angle (CSA), a measurement that takes into account both glenoid tilt and the acromial index (AI), with shoulder pathologies as presented in an earlier study by Moor et al. (2013). Based on Moor et al.
