Rethinking limb tourniquet conversion in the prehospital environment.

We have highlighted the issue of overuse of tourniquets and described why tourniquet conversion and replacement should be taught and done in the prehospital setting.

Personalized Nutrition for Microbiota Correction and Metabolism Restore in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common noncommunicable diseases in the world. Recent studies suggest a link between type 2 diabetes and microbiota, as well as the ability to treat and prevent it using personalized approaches to nutrition. In this work, we conducted clinical studies on the effects of a personalized diet on 56 female patients.

Genome diversity in Ukraine.

Background: The main goal of this collaborative effort is to provide genome-wide data for the previously underrepresented population in Eastern Europe, and to provide cross-validation of the data from genome sequences and genotypes of the same individuals acquired by different technologies. We collected 97 genome-grade DNA samples from consented individuals representing major regions of Ukraine that were consented for public data release. BGISEQ-500 sequence data and genotypes by an Illumina GWAS chip were cross-validated on multiple samples and additionally referenced to 1 sample that has been resequenced by Illumina NovaSeq6000 S4 at high coverage.

[Biological decontamination of the imprints obtained from different dental materials].

Microbiological contamination of the imprints made of alginate ("Ypeen") and silicone material ("Speedex") with and without the correction supplement has been investigated. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus have been estimated to be the most survivable species on the imprint surface, however their concentration differ depending on the type of imprints' material. The strains resistant to antibiotics dominated among all the isolated microorganisms.

[Laterality of food handling movements in rats].

Lateralization of motor food skills has been investigated on 77 adult white rats. The predominance for the left anterior extremity while carrying out food was found in 53.5% of rats, the right extremity--in 36.

[Comparative physiologic study of the responses of cerebellar cortex neurons to stimulation of the vagus nerve].

The cerebellar cortex neuronal responses (of Purkinje cells--PC, and of unidentified neurons UN) to vagus stimulation in anesthetized pigeons, rats and monkeys were actualized as spikes or as complex discharges in PC. Tonic neuronal responses were mainly excitatory. All the PC and the majority of UN were polymodal.

[Neurophysiologic patterns of movement control in free-moving Astacus astacus crayfish].

Studies have been made on the neuronal organization of muscular control in the dactylopodite during grasping the food by the claw, holding it by the dactyls, tranasportation to the mouth opening area and to the perioral organs. It was shown that in coordination relationships of efferent structures which control muscular efforts of the dactylopodite during realization of foodgrasping movements, the important role is played by afferent influences from hairy mechanoreceptors located on the inner surface of the claw dactyls, as well as by the influences from the receptors of the propo-dactylopodite specialized mechanoreceptor organ. Operation of these sources of afferent influences seems to be the main principle of organization of minimal biological information-control system.

[Influence of destruction of the lateral reticular nucleus and nuclei of the inferior olive in cats on electrical responses of the cerebellar cortex evoked by stimulation of the vagus nerve].

The role of the lateral reticular nucleus and inferior olive in production of the cerebellar cortex evoked potentials to stimulation of n. vagus was studied on 28 cats under chloralose-nembutal narcosis. After electrolytical destruction of the lateral reticular nucleus prolongation of the latency and a decrease in the evoked potential amplitude were observed, especially ipsilaterally.

[Background [corrected] activity and evoked responses of pigeon cerebellar cortex neurons to stimulation of the vagus nerve and nerves of the extremities].

Background activity and evoked responses of cortical cerebellar neurons to electrical stimulation of n. vagus and limb nerves were investigated in decerebrated pigeons. The neuronal responses were of tha same type independing of the type of stimulation.
