[Diagnosis and treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis caused by atypical (intracellular) pathogens. What should a urologist know? Review of current clinical guidelines].

This review is devoted to specific features of diagnosis and treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis caused by intracellular microorganisms. Using modern literature data and the up-to-date clinical guidelines, an analysis of changes in the epidemiological structure and resistance of intracellular pathogens in non-gonococcal urethritis has been carried out. The current principles of diagnosis and treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis are reviewed, with a discussion of the place of new molecular genetic methods for detecting the resistance of some intracellular pathogens (Mycoplasma genitalium) in routine clinical practice.

[Comparative effectivenesss of standard antibiotic therapy and Canephron N asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women].

Unlabelled: Current international and Russian clinical guidelines recommend treating asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy to prevent acute gestational pyelonephritis. At the same time, the growing resistance of uropathogens and the risks associated with antibiotic therapy in pregnancy dictate the need to limit the use of antibiotics and seek alternative approaches to antibacterial therapy.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 60 pregnant women who received either a standard antibiotic regimen (n=32) or the herbal preparation Canephron N (n=28).

Observation of dynamic atom-atom correlation in liquid helium in real space.

Liquid He becomes superfluid and flows without resistance below temperature 2.17 K. Superfluidity has been a subject of intense studies and notable advances were made in elucidating the phenomenon by experiment and theory.

Electrostatic levitation facility optimized for neutron diffraction studies of high temperature liquids at a spallation neutron source.

Neutron diffraction studies of metallic liquids provide valuable information about inherent topological and chemical ordering on multiple length scales as well as insight into dynamical processes at the level of a few atoms. However, there exist very few facilities in the world that allow such studies to be made of reactive metallic liquids in a containerless environment, and these are designed for use at reactor-based neutron sources. We present an electrostatic levitation facility, NESL (for Neutron ElectroStatic Levitator), which takes advantage of the enhanced capabilities and increased neutron flux available at spallation neutron sources (SNSs).

Onset of Cooperative Dynamics in an Equilibrium Glass-Forming Metallic Liquid.

Onset of cooperative dynamics has been observed in many molecular liquids, colloids, and granular materials in the metastable regime on approaching their respective glass or jamming transition points, and is considered to play a significant role in the emergence of the slow dynamics. However, the nature of such dynamical cooperativity remains elusive in multicomponent metallic liquids characterized by complex many-body interactions and high mixing entropy. Herein, we report evidence of onset of cooperative dynamics in an equilibrium glass-forming metallic liquid (LM601: Zr51Cu36Ni4Al9).
