[The Problem of Adherence to Therapy in Cardiology].

This review article presents results of studies on adherence to drug therapy of patients after discharge from hospital. It contains analysis of the reasons for poor adherence, assessment of the impact of quality of adherence on the immediate and long-term results of surgical and medical treatment, structured methods of improvement of adherence to therapy; as well as economic aspects of the problem.

A comparative study of optical properties and X-ray induced luminescence of octahedral molybdenum and tungsten cluster complexes.

Octahedral metal cluster complexes have high potential for biomedical applications. In order to evaluate the benefits of these moieties for combined CT/X-ray luminescence computed tomography, this paper compares photoluminescence, radiodensity and X-ray induced luminescence properties of eight related octahedral molybdenum and tungsten cluster complexes [{MI}L] (where M is Mo or W and L is I, NO, OTs or OH/HO). This article demonstrates that despite the fact that molybdenum cluster complexes are better photoluminescence emitters, tungsten cluster complexes, in particular (BuN)[{WI}I], demonstrate significantly higher X-ray induced luminescence due to a combination of relatively good photoluminescence properties and high X-ray attenuation.
