Comparison of the Effects of Septoplasty and Sinus Lifting Simulation in Rats on Changes in Heart Rate Variability.

The effects of septoplasty and sinus lifting simulation in rats on changes in the frequency domain of heart rate variability were compared. In the early postoperative period, the low-frequency component increases, and the high-frequency component decreases. The VLF range also increased.

Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy by 177Lu-DOTATATE of a Secreting Cervical Paraganglioma.

A 59-year-old man with a parapharyngeal paraganglioma incidentally discovered on a cervical swelling was referred to our nuclear medicine department for a morpho-metabolic assessment. An 18F-FDG PET/CT was initially performed and found an intense hypermetabolism of the lesion and a hypermetabolism of the periadrenal brown fat evoking catecholamine secretion. An additional 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT was performed, showing an overexpression of the somatostatin receptors of this isolated paraganglioma.

Comparative analysis of clinical, electrocardiographic, angiographic and echocardiographic data of indigenous and non-indigenous residents of Yakutia with coronary artery atherosclerosis.

Aim: The aim of the study is to compare clinical, angiographic, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic data between indigenous and non-indigenous residents of Yakutia.

Study Design: We performed cross-sectional analysis of the Registry of Selective Coronary Angiography (SCAG) of the Yakutsk Republican Hospital for the period from 2004 to 2007. All patients (n = 1,233) were admitted to hospital from all 35 regions of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).

[Structurally functional changes of cardiovascular system at high sports activity at aboriginals of Yakutia].

Unlabelled: In order to study structurally functional changes of cardiovascular system and metabolic indicators at going in for sports in Yakutia, 146 men of the Yakut nationality (18-29 years) living in Yakutsk city have been surveyed. The basic group - sportsmen of high level of skill (free-style wresling, boxing) (n = 108, middle age 20.2 +/- 0.

Impaired fasting glucose and the metabolic syndrome in an indigenous Siberian population.

Objectives: This study investigated the lifestyle and anthropometric correlates of impaired fasting glucose and the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among an Indigenous high-latitude herding population from north-eastern Siberia.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study of Yakut (Sakha) adult volunteers.

Methods: We collected health, lifestyle and anthropometric data among 166 Yakut adults (>or=18 years old; 101 females, 65 males) from the rural village of Tyungyulyu (62 degrees N, 130 degrees E; population 2,500), Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia.
