Article Synopsis
- Transgender individuals in Russia face significant unmet mental health needs and stigma, with a study assessing stressors among 588 participants revealing that 95.1% reported life stress.
- Key stressors identified include financial issues (73.5%), family relationships (59.4%), and intimate partnerships (37.9%), with 71.8% noting that psychological distress affects their social life.
- Despite over half (52.4%) having previously sought mental health support, many (49%) faced stigma in accessing care, and 37.8% used non-prescription medications to manage their mental well-being.
As we still do not know enough about the mental health concerns of gender minority people in Russia, there is a need to initiate research on these issues. We aimed to examine the frequency of anxiety and depression symptoms in a Russian sample of transgender people. The study consisted of a structured online survey and was conducted throughout November 2019.

Compounds representing chemically modified derivatives of natural polysaccharides and possessing heparin-like properties have been obtained basing on new methods of sulphatization++ of hydroxyl-containing polymers. The study of the anticoagulation activity of mannan, starch, dextran sulfates permits a suggestion that these compounds realize their anticoagulant potential not through antithrombin-III. A relationship has been established between the properties of semi-synthetic heparinoids and sulfur percentage, molecular mass and the type of polymeric matrix.
