Unlabelled: Climate change and formation of regional weather features increase both direct (immediate effects of extremal temperature and other weather and climatic anomalies) and indirect (environmental deterioration, etc.) consequences of global climate change. The development of investigations of medical weather assessment, medical and meteorological forecasting system, the use of treatment and preventive measures give the opportunity to prepare for weather biotropic conditions and reduce weather-conditioned exacerbations.

For nanocrystals in a strong quantum confinement regime, it has been confirmed analytically that resonant exciton transfer proceeds in full accordance with the Förster mechanism. This means that the virtual exciton transitions between the nanocrystals of close sizes are governed only by the dipole-dipole interaction of nanocrystals even in very dense ensembles, while the contributions of all other higher-order multipoles are negligibly small. Based on a simple isotropic model of the envelope function approximation and neglecting the electron-hole interaction inside each nanocrystal, we have computed the rate of the resonant exciton transfer between two nanocrystals.

Unlabelled: Weather is one of the leading negatively acting on the human body factors. Abnormal regimes and extreme hydrometeorological and geophysical phenomena form the most biotropic external conditions that can have a negative effect and provoke weather-related exacerbations in people with chronic non-infectious diseases. Today, the problem of the climatic and weather factors influence acquires a new content and becomes relevant in connection with the global climate change and its regional manifestations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares liver damage caused by the food-borne parasite Opisthorchis felineus in humans and golden hamsters, focusing on cholangiofibrosis and periductal fibrosis.
  • The research examines factors like collagen composition, basic cell production, and extracellular matrix degradation to understand fibrotic complications in the liver.
  • Findings indicate that the fibrotic symptoms in both humans and hamsters are similar, but there are notable differences in liver damage caused by chronic O. felineus infection compared to non-infectious cholecystitis.

The liver fluke Opisthorchis felineus is a member of the triad of epidemiologically relevant species of the trematode family Opisthorchiidae, and the causative agent of opisthorchiasis felinea over an extensive range that spans regions of Eurasia. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies the infection with the liver flukes Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis as group 1 agents and a major risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma. However, the carcinogenic potential of the infection with O.
