Genetic Diversity and Evolution of the Biological Features of the Pandemic SARS-CoV-2.

The new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) represents a challenge for global health. Since the outbreak began, the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 117 million, with more than 2.6 million deaths worldwide.

[Initial combination therapy for primary open-angle glaucoma].

Purpose: To study the efficacy and safety of initial combination therapy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Material And Methods: The study included 111 patients (161 eyes) with stages II-III b-c of POAG aged 46 to 89 years (mean age 70.8±8.

Secondary electron emission detectors for neutral beam characterization on C-2W.

Heating, current drive, and partial fueling from neutral beam injection are essential to sustainment of C-2W field-reversed configuration plasmas. C-2W has eight 2.1 MW neutral beams (16.

Fecal pancreatic elastase-1 and erythrocyte magnesium levels in diabetes type 1 and type 2.

Unlabelled: In both types of diabetes mellitus (DM), type 1 and type 2 (T1DM and T2DM), there are both endocrine and exocrine dysfunctions of the pancreas (PED), as well as disturbances in serum magnesium levels. The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of PED according to the level of fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) in patients with T1DM and T2DM, determining the correlation of the level of FE-1 with certain anthropometric parameters, certain indicators of metabolic regulation of diabetes, and certain nutritive markers of PED.

Materials And Methods: In the examinees, (56 with T1DM (F = 35 and M = 21), 62 with T2DM (F = 30 and M = 32), and 40 in the control group (F = 19 and M = 21)), we examined anthropometric parameters, and using standard biochemical methods, we measured the level of FE-1, magnesium concentration in blood and erythrocytes, and selected blood parameters.
