CoO Nanostructured Sensor for Electrochemical Detection of HO as a Stress Biomarker in Barley: FeO Nanoparticles-Mediated Enhancement of Salt Stress Tolerance.

This research investigates the enhancement of barley's resistance to salt stress by integrating nanoparticles and employing a nanostructured CoO sensor for the electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide (HO), a crucial indicator of oxidative stress. The novel sensor, featuring petal-shaped CoO nanostructures, exhibits remarkable precision and sensitivity to HO in buffer solution, showcasing notable efficacy in complex analytes like plant juice. The research establishes that the introduction of FeO nanoparticles significantly improves barley's ability to withstand salt stress, leading to a reduction in detected HO concentrations, alongside positive impacts on morphological parameters and photosynthesis rates.

A non-enzymatic electrochemical hydrogen peroxide sensor based on copper oxide nanostructures.

This article describes the synthesis of nanostructured copper oxide on copper wires and its application for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. Copper oxide petal nanostructures were obtained by a one-step hydrothermal oxidation method. The resulting coating is uniform and dense and shows good adhesion to the wire surface.

[The public opinion about health care: the main factors of increasing satisfaction of population with medical care].

The evaluation of satisfaction of population with medical care has become widespread in practice of medical institutions as an obligatory criterion of assessing quality of their functioning. The study objective is to determine degree of satisfaction of population Russia with health care and role of particular factors in its formation. The study applied questionnaire survey of residents of 9 subjects of the Russian Federation using representative sampling of 1457 observations.

[The main trends in primary morbidity of population in the subjects of the Russian Federation in 2008-2017].

The analysis of primary morbidity is the most important indicator of detection of population health in every single subject of the Russian Federation in whole Russia. This approach also permits to monitor impact of economic and social processes on the national level. The article presents analysis of primary morbidity in the subjects of the Russian Federation in 2008-2017.

ZnO-nanostructure-based electrochemical sensor: Effect of nanostructure morphology on the sensing of heavy metal ions.

ZnO nanostructures are promising candidates for use in sensors, especially in electrochemical sensors and biosensors, due to their unique physical and chemical properties, as well as sensitivity and selectivity to several types of contamination, including heavy metal ions. In this work, using the hydrothermal method, nanostructures of ZnO were synthesized in four different morphologies: nanorods, nanoneedles, nanotubes and nanoplates. To determine the peculiarities of adsorption for each morphology, a series of electrochemical measurements were carried out using these nanostructured ZnO coatings on the working electrodes, using aqueous solutions of Pb(NO) and Cd(NO) as analytes with different concentrations.

Role of SPECT-CT in radiotherapy.

Purpose: The role of fusion imaging methods SPECT-CT and PET-CT is currently being investigated in radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning. SPECT and PET provide extra information for gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of SPECT-CT in RT.

[Rare clinical case of inflammatory macromastia in childhood].

AThe present and rare case is of a patient who developed macromastia in childhood. Usually, gigantomastia can occur as a complication due to pregnancy or it may occur in puberty, which is known as virginal breast hypertrophy, the second of which is more frequent. In our case, during the first decade of life, her breasts rapidly increased and reached gigantic sizes over a short period of time.

The influence of L-tryptophan peroral load on glomerular filtration rate in chronic glomerulonephritis and chronic renal failure.

The results of our clinical observations of 102 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis with normal renal function and 10 patients with chronic renal failure, as well as 10 healthy individuals allow us to conclude that in patients with high proteinuria and impaired renal function the serum concentration of tryptophan is decreased, both before and after peroral L-tryptophan load. We have found a positive correlation between serum concentration of albumin and tryptophan in patients with normal kidney function, and negative correlations between serum concentration of albumin and intensity of proteinuria, as well as between serum concentration of tryptophan and proteinuria. Our studies have shown that L-tryptophan peroral load increases the glomerular filtration rate in healthy individuals, in patients with membronous proliferative glomerulonephritis with proteinuria 2 g/24 h and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with proteinuria < 2 g/24 h.
