There are many types of forms of practising hand-to-hand combat exercises, which can be seen as opposing or in some ways complementary, e.

Composition of Bacteriophages for Therapeutic and Prophylactic Use in Monkeys.

Keeping rhesus monkeys as laboratory animals requires timely prevention and treatment of infections, including diseases of bacterial etiology. Based on our own studies of the microflora of healthy and sick monkeys, as well as analysis of published reports, we identified clinically significant representatives of pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria: E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp.

[Urinary bladder hemangiomas in children: experience with endoscopic treatment].

Urgent arrest of bleeding is often required in hemangiomas. Endoscopic photocoagulation with Ne YAG-laser was applied in the department of urology of the Central Children's Hospital in Moscow to arrest bleeding in 5 children (2 boys and 3 girls aged 3-12 years) with hemangioma of the bladder in 1998-2009. In 3 cases the tumors were solitary (up to 5 cm), in 2 cases (multiple small 1-3 cm).

[Effect of taurine on potassium, calcium and sodium levels in the blood and tissues of rats].

Effect of taurine on content of electrolytes was studied in rat myocardium, liver tissue, skeletal muscles and erythrocytes. The balanced electrolytic state of a body was impaired by administration of adrenaline at arrhythmogenic doses, while content of potassium in erythrocytes was altered by means of addition of adrenaline or p-chloromercuribenzoate into the incubation medium. Taurine was shown to normalize the content of potassium and calcium ions in vivo and in vitro.
