Byte-Pair Encoding for classifying routine clinical electroencephalograms in adults over the lifespan.

Routine clinical EEG is a standard test used for the neurological evaluation of patients. A trained specialist interprets EEG recordings and classifies them into clinical categories. Given time demands and high inter-reader variability, there is an opportunity to facilitate the evaluation process by providing decision support tools that can classify EEG recordings automatically.

BIOFLAVONOIDS AS AGENTS FOR CORRECTING NITRO-OXIDATIVE STRESS AND SALIVARY GLAND FUNCTIONS IN RATS EXPOSED TO ALCOHOL DURING MODELED LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE-INDUCED SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE.

Objective: The aim: To investigate the effects of bioflavonoids (curcumin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate and quercetin) on nitro-oxidative stress and the functions of submandibular SGs in rats under alcohol exposure during SIR.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The studies were conducted on 35 rats of the Wistar line weighing 205-220 g, divided into 5 groups of seven animals in each: the 1st group, control group I, included animals receiving isotonic sodium chloride solution intragastrically twice a day; the 2nd group, control group II, included rats exposed to alcohol (in a dose of 24 mg/kg intragastrically through gavage a twice a day) for last 2 weeks during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced SIR; the rats of the 3rd, 4th and 5th groups exposed to alcohol during LPS-induced SIR, which also received bioflavonoids. The bioflavonoids ("Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.

PRODUCTION OF INTERLEUKINS 1β, 2, 4, 10 AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN IN ISCHEMIC STROKE.

Objective: The aim: The aim of this study was to determine the content of interleukins (IL) 1β, 2, 4, and 10, as well as the generally accepted marker of inflammation - C-reactive protein (CRP) - in the peripheral blood on the first and tenth days of ischemic stroke (IS).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study involved 25 patients with IS (including 8 people with mild case of neurological disorders, 9 - moderate case and 8 - severe case) and 14 people of the control group. The levels of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 in the blood were determined by the immunoenzyme method.

Methods of transmission and features of the course of hepatitis c virus infection in children: medical and social aspects.

Objective: Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major global problem. According to WHO, 150-200 million people globally have hepatitis C infection. Even though HCV infection morbidity rate in children is relatively low in comparison with the adult population, approximately 5 million children in the world have active HCV.

Medico-social value of osteoarthritis. secondary prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis in comorbidity with chronic gastritis.

Objective: Introduction: Medico-social significance of osteoarthritis is due to a number of factors, one of which is associated with the need for long-term anti-inflammatory therapy, which is associated with undesirable side effects. The aim: Identify the features of the course of chronic gastritis in patients taking selective NSAIDs for osteoarthritis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Were examined 122 patients with osteoarthrosis, who had verified chronic gastritis in the anamnesis (50 males and 72 females), aged from 42 to 64.

Trace metals in wine and vineyard environment in southern Ukraine.

The study was focused on measuring the concentration levels of trace metals in the environment, vines and wine within the wine-growing region of Ukraine and comparing the findings to the data from well known wine-growing areas. Analysis was carried out of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in irrigation water, grape juice and wine, Cu, Pb and Zn in soil (pseudo-total and acid-soluble fractions) and Vitis vinifera L. in leaves and grapes.
