Article Synopsis
  • The article discusses a multicenter study in Russia on infective endocarditis, focusing on the causes, antibiotic effectiveness, and drug usage patterns.
  • The study analyzed 406 cases, finding that 35.5% had identifiable pathogens, primarily gram-positive cocci, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most common at 46.5%.
  • The research highlighted the frequent use of aminoglycosides and third-generation cephalosporins in initial treatment, while adjustments in therapy often involved glycopeptides and fluoroquinolones.

Article Synopsis
  • Russia started using a vaccine called PCV13 in 2014 to protect children from pneumonia!
  • A study looked at healthy kids under 6 in different cities from 2016 to 2018, finding that most had not finished the full vaccine series!
  • The results showed that vaccinated kids had fewer of the vaccine-targeted germs but more of other types compared to unvaccinated kids!

The effect of pulse-periodic microwave radiation (PPMR) of the pulse repetition frequency of 8-25 pulseper second, the peak power density of 1500 W/cm2 on the epididymal adipose tissue of micewas investigated. The effect was assessed by the changes in the fat mass and size of the irradiated adipocytes. It was found that the fat mass and size distribution of adipocytes are affected by irradiation.

The effect of repetitive pulsed X-ray (4 ns pulse duration, 300 kV accelerating voltage; 2.5 kA electron beam current) on the antioxidant enzyme activity in mouse liver mitochondria has been investigated. The mitochondrial suspension was exposed to single 4000 pulse X-ray radiation with repetition rates ranging between 10 and 22 pps (pulsed dose was 0.

Effects of ionizing radiation registered in cells after low dose irradiation are still poorly understood. A pulsed mode of irradiation is even more problematic in terms of predicting the radiation-induced response in cells. Thus, the aim of this paper was to study and analyze the effects of dose and frequency of pulsed X-rays on the frequency of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks and their repair kinetics in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro.
