Relationship of Nutritional Status and Spirometric Parameters in Children with Bronchial Asthma.

Unlabelled: The potential mechanisms of bronchial asthma (BA) negative modification under the influence of obesity are currently being actively studied. However, at present, the effect of nutritional status on bronchial obstruction in children with BA cannot be considered established. In this regard, the was to study the relationship of spirometric parameters reflecting bronchial patency with nutritional status in children with asthma.

[THRESHOLD VALUES OF MAIN PARAMETERS OF THE BLOOD PRESSURE DIURNAL PROFILE IN MEN WITH ISOLATED CLINICAL ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION LIVING BEYOND THE ARCTIC CIRCLE].

The purpose was to calculate thresholds of diurnal blood pressure parameters (BP) in men with isolated clinical hypertension (ICH) living beyond the Arctic circle, and selection of those parameters that will be particularly informative for differential diagnostics of ICH and essential hypertension (EH) in this contingent. Fifty male subjects were distributed in the ICH group (n = 25) and normotensive group with one and more cardiovascular risk factors (n = 25). No drug therapy was provided during diurnal BP monitoring (DBPM).

[Coronary calcinosis. State-of-the-art].

Atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease are the main causes of disablement and mortality in most developed countries. Clinical studies showed the relationship between coronary calcinosis and atherosclerotic lesions, the calcinosis area accounting for roughly 1/5 of the atherosclerotic plaque area. Calcinosis is quantitatively characterized by the calcium score determined by multispiral and electron-beam computed tomography.

[Hemodynamics variation in hypertensive pilots of polar transport aviation on different flight phases].

The purpose was to study in-flight blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in polar transport aviation pilots afflicted with essential hypertension. A total of 30 pilots were distributed into 2 groups: hypertensive pilots and those who, though generally healthy were, because of some conditions and lifestyle, predisposed to the cardiovascular risk (CVR). The examination included establishment of personal CVR factors, electrocardiography, bicycle ergometry, echocardiography, off-duty 24-hour BP and HR monitoring, and in-flight BP and HR monitoring.

[24-hr monitoring arterial pressure in outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors in the Far North].

Aim: To study peculiar features of daily AP rhythm and profile in men with cardiovascular risk factors residing in the Far North.

Materials And Methods: The study included 115 servicemen divided into 3 groups (hypertensive disease (HD), hypertonic type neurocirculatory asthenia (NCA) and risk factor of cardiovascular diseases other than AH). HD was diagnosed based on multiple AP measurements and 24-hr monitoring.
