Stable Isotope Analysis Reveals Common Teal () Molting Sites in Western Siberia: Implications for Avian Influenza Virus Spread.

The wetlands of southwestern Siberia (SWS) are a crossroads of bird migration routes, bringing avian influenza (AIV) strains that were previously isolated in different regions of the continent to Siberia. It is known that Anseriformes that breed in SWS migrate for the winter to central Hindustan or further west, while their migration routes to southeast Asia (SEA) remain unconfirmed. Here, we mapped the molting sites of the migrating Common Teals () via analyzing stable hydrogen isotope content in feathers of hunters' prey and supplemented the analysis with the genetic structure of viruses isolated from teals in the same region.

Eculizumab reverses the potentially fatal effects of kidney graft reperfusion injury.

Half an hour after reperfusion, the kidney, transplanted to the infant from an adult brain dead standard criteria donor, became flabby and acquired blue color. Hyperacute rejection was suspected as a consequence of false negative cross match, and eculizumab was administered with the purpose to treat antibody-mediated injury, with fast and clear effect. The patient's blood was tested for donor-specific antibodies on the next day, and results were negative.

The critical pathway for deceased donation: reportable uniformity in the approach to deceased donation.

The critical pathway of deceased donation provides a systematic approach to the organ donation process, considering both donation after cardiac death than donation after brain death. The pathway provides a tool for assessing the potential of deceased donation and for the prospective identification and referral of possible deceased donors.

[Efficacy and safety of cyclosporin A withdrawal in children long after kidney transplantation].

Aim: Evaluation of cyclosporine (CSA) withdrawal safety and efficacy in children late after kidney transplantation.

Material And Methods: Graft and patient survival was analysed in 30 kidney recipients operated in the central children's hospital in 1991-1999. Fifteen of 30 patients came for follow-up to the Russian Research Center for Surgery where CsA was withdrawn 6.

[Red blood cell antibodies and anemia in pulmonary tuberculosis].

To examine the association of anemia with the formation of antibodies to intrinsic red blood cells, 56 phthisiosurgical patients were examined. Red blood cell antibodies were detected in 66.7 of patients with anemia and in 36.

[Hemostasis disorders and their correction in the early postoperative period in patients with pulmonary diseases].

Hemostatic changes were studied in 67 phthisiosurgical patients 2-3 days prior to surgery and in the early postoperative period. It has been found that blood coagulative disorders following lung surgeries with a small volume of blood loss require no special corrective measures. After massive blood loss there are pathological changes requiring correction of coagulation factor deficit.

[Infusion-transfusion tactics in tubercular surgical patients in relation to the volume of surgical blood loss].

Infusion-transfusion tactics were studied in 71 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis during surgery and after it. Hemostasis parameters have been determined at different periods after surgery. Blood transfusion was not performed in patients with surgical blood loss below 500 g.

[Hemostatic changes in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the postoperative period in relation to the volume of surgical blood loss].

Hemocoagulation changes were studied in 71 pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the postoperative period. Red blood parameters and graphic coagulogram were determined. A moderate hypercoagulation syndrome was found in patients with operative blood loss of 500 g in the early and immediate postoperative period.
