Dyslipidemia in pediatrician's practice.

Atherosclerosis ranks first among cardiovascular system diseases. It is the "disease of the century", and more than 50% of people with circulatory pathology die of it. The clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis is observed at the middle and older ages, but it is known that the pathological process develops much earlier.

[Control of ventricular rate in permanent atrial fibrillation: cardio-protec-tion and tissue hemodynamics].

Objective To evaluate myocardial injury and tissue hemodynamics in elderly patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) based on the achieved range of ventricular contraction rate (VCR).Materials and Methods This prospective, randomized, blind study included 75 patients aged ≥60 with permanent AF. All patients were prescribed bisoprolol as a VCR-reducing therapy.

Metabolic cardiomyopathy in pediatrics.

Currently, the percentage of non-specific myocardial lesions of non-inflammatory genesis has significantly increased in the structure of cardiovascular diseases in children and adolescents. Cardiomyopathies are a cluster of myocardial diseases that have become more of interest by cardiologists, morphologists, geneticists, and cardiac surgeons. Cardiomyopathies in children are regarded as a severe pathology characterized by a progressive course, resistance to therapy, and result in an unfavourable prognosis.

Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S18-2 is highly expressed in endometrial cancers along with free E2F1.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most frequent causes of cancer death among women in developed countries. Histopathological diagnosis and imaging techniques for EC are limited, thus new prognostic markers are needed to offer patients the best treatment and follow-up.In the present paper we showed that the level of mitochondrial ribosomal protein MRPS18-2 (S18-2) increased in EC compared with the normal endometrium and hyperplasia, based on a study of 42 patient biopsies.

Cardiorespiratory synchronism in estimation of regulatory and adaptive organism status.

The proposed method of quantitative estimation of regulatory and adaptive status (RAS) of human organism is based on complex responses of two major vegetative functions - breath and heart rates under organism exposure to a number of factors and diseases. It has been evidenced that during the follicular menstruation stage and during optimum readiness of female organism for childbirth RAS increases, however, stress impact can also cause RAS set off to decrease. Likewise, the possibility of quantitative organism stress resistance estimation is also presented.
