Stable Deuterium-Tritium plasmas with improved confinement in the presence of energetic-ion instabilities.

Providing stable and clean energy sources is a necessity for the increasing demands of humanity. Energy produced by Deuterium (D) and Tritium (T) fusion reactions, in particular in tokamaks, is a promising path towards that goal. However, there is little experience with plasmas formed by D-T mixtures, since most of the experiments are currently performed in pure D.

[Transforming growth factor beta in patients with cervical artery dissection].

Objective: To evaluate transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) in patients with cervical artery dissection (CeAD).

Material And Methods: TGF-β was studied by enzyme immunoassay in 74 of 336 patients with CeAD observed at the Research Center of Neurology (Moscow) from 2000 to 2021. The average patient's age at the time of TGF-β study was 41.

Delayed Development of Aneurysmal Dilatations in Patients with Extracranial Carotid Artery Dissections.

Objective: Dissection of the carotid artery (CaAD) may result in aneurysm formation. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the time of onset of post-dissection extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAA) following CaAD, and to analyse independent risk factors for the development of these aneurysms.

Methods: From four European stroke centres, 360 patients with extracranial CaAD were included.

[Aneurysms and pathological tortuosity of the internal carotid and vertebral arteries in patients with dissection of these vessels: a results of long-term study].

Objective: To study the frequency, angiographic and clinical features of aneurysms and tortuosity (T) in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) and vertebral artery (VA) dissection.

Material And Methods: Three hundred and twenty-seven patients (average age - 37.8±9.

[Internal carotid artery dissection in patients with Turner's syndrome].

Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) due to arterial wall weakness (dysplasia) is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke (IS) at a young age. A rare and little known cause of CeAD is Turner's syndrome (TS)-is an inherited disease caused by completely or partially missing X chromosome. In this paper, we describe 2 female patients, aged 27 and 33 years, with genetically confirmed TS (karyotype 45X0) and internal carotid artery dissection(ICAD).
