[Upper limb motor and functional recovery in patients with tetraplegia].

Objective: To study the recovery of the upper limb motor function and functional independence in patients with cervical spinal cord injury.

Material And Methods: The study included 49 patients with subacute tetraplegia, mean age 33±14.8 years, 42 men and 7 women, admitted to the Preodolenie Rehabilitation Center.

Bringing New Methods to the Seed Proteomics Platform: Challenges and Perspectives.

For centuries, crop plants have represented the basis of the daily human diet. Among them, cereals and legumes, accumulating oils, proteins, and carbohydrates in their seeds, distinctly dominate modern agriculture, thus play an essential role in food industry and fuel production. Therefore, seeds of crop plants are intensively studied by food chemists, biologists, biochemists, and nutritional physiologists.

[Comparative analysis of functional independence predictors in patients with cervical tetraplegia].

Unlabelled: Purpose of the study was to investigate clinical predictors of functional independence in patients with cervical tetraplegia at different periods after a spinal cord injury (SCI).

Material And Methods: 190 patients (151 men and 39 women) with an SCI from 3 months to 6 years old were included in a retrospective study. The average age was 27 years.

[Funtional tenodesis as a predictor of functional outcome in patients with cervical tetraplegia].

Aim: To determine the value of functional tenodesis (FT) of the hand as a predictor of the degree of disability in patients with cervical tetraplegia (CT) at different periods after a spinal injury.

Material And Methods: We examined 190 patients (79% - men) with CT (92.5% of cases of traumatic origin) at the age of 27 [21.

[Study of conformational mobility of insulin, proinsulin, and insulin-like growth factors].

In this work, by method of molecular dynamics there was performed comparative analysis of conformational mobility of evolutionary related peptides--insulin, proinsulin, IGF1, and IGF2. The highest mobility has been shown to be characteristic of the proinsulin molecule, while the lower mobility--IGF1 and proinsulin. The rotation radius (Rg) of insulin, IGF1, and IGF2 changes insignificantly.
