Introduction: The development of new highly accurate, inexpensive and accessible methods for the detection of lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (LE-PAD) in diabetic patients is required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a new incoherent optical fluctuation flowmetry (IOFF) method in detecting legs with hemodynamically significant stenoses compared to ankle brachial index (ABI) and transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Materials And Methods: Patients were recruited into 2 groups.

(1) Background: To date, there are no studies evaluating the ability of the incoherent optical fluctuation flowmetry (IOFF) method to assess foot tissue perfusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between perfusion values measured by IOFF and TcPO2 in patients with diabetes-related lower-extremity complications. (2) Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional, two-center study.

Three universal algorithms for geometrical comparison of abstract sets of n points in the Euclidean space R are proposed. It is proved that at an accuracy ε the efficiency of all the algorithms does not exceed O(n/ε). The most effective algorithm combines the known Hungarian and Kabsch algorithms, but is free of their deficiencies and fast enough to match hundreds of points.

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the carriage of the rs2244613 polymorphism of the CES1 gene with clopidogrel resistance as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of antiplatelet therapy in the carriers of this marker who have had acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study also analyzes the procedure of percutaneous coronary intervention and compares the rs2244613 carrier rate between patients with ACS and healthy participants. Methods The study involved 81 patients diagnosed with ACS and 136 conditionally healthy participants.

This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of the CES1 gene (c.1168-33A > C, rs2244613) polymorphism among 12 different ethnic groups living in Russia to provide a basis for future clinical studies concerning genetic determinants of dabigatran safety. The study involved 1630 apparently healthy, unrelated, and chronic medication-free volunteers of both genders from 12 different ethnic groups in Russia: 136 Russians, 90 Avars, 50 Dargins, 46 Laks, 120 Kabardians, 112 Balkars, 244 Ossetians, 206 Mari, 204 Mordvinians, 238 Chuvashes, 114 Buryats and 70 Nanays.
