Laser Thermochemical High-Contrast Recording on Thin Metal Films.

Laser-induced thermochemical recording of nano- and microsized structures on thin films has attracted intense interest over the last few decades due to essential applications in the photonics industry. Nevertheless, the relationship between the laser parameters and the properties of the formed oxide structures, both geometrical and optical, is still implicit. In this work, direct laser interference patterning of the titanium (Ti) film in the oxidative regime was applied to form submicron periodical structures.

[Surgical treatment of varicosity-altered tributaries of saphenous veins].

A total of 469 patients presenting with lower-limb varicose disease were operated on at Municipal Clinical Hospital No 79 of the Chair of Hospital Surgery No 2 of the I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University over the period from 2008 to 2011.

[Modern approaches to the treatment of primary arterial hypertension].

Modern approaches to the treatment of primary arterial hypertension are considered based on the results of multicenter randomized studies, their meta-analysis, and recommendations of scientific societies.

[Bacteriological aspects of diagnosis of tuberculosis associated with pneumoconiosis].

To determine the frequency and characteristics of bacterial discharge, a cultural investigation of 166 patients' sputa was performed in three groups: Group 1: 37 pneumoconiosis at 2nd and 3d stages and active TB cases; Group 2: 41 non-active TB cases; Group 3: 88 cases of pneumoconiosis without concomitant TB infection. The sputa were studied with bacteriological techniques to determine the biologically changed forms of MBT. As a whole, the L-forms were found in 66.
