Arctic permafrost is undergoing rapid changes due to climate warming in high latitudes. Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) are one of the most abrupt and impactful thermal-denudation events that change Arctic landscapes and accelerate carbon feedbacks. Their spatial distribution remains poorly characterised due to time-intensive conventional mapping methods.

Methods: The study was conducted in Russia among 423 respondents, including medical professionals and patients, with an average age of 40 years.
Results: The awareness of EPS among medical professionals (20%) and patients (45.
Purpose: Investigation of the results of ureteral stricture single balloon dilation in children with primary obstructive megaureter.
Materials And Methods: Since 2012 to 2020 79 children (65 boys and 15 girls) with primary obstructive megaureter of II and III grades who had 92 affected ureters were operated on by method of ureteral stricture balloon dilation. Duration of postoperative stenting period was Me=68 [48; 91] days, bladder catheterization period - Me=15 [5; 61] days.
Radical polymerization was used to synthesize and characterize (co)polymers with sodium styrenesulfonate (NaSS), 4-methacryloylamidosalicylic acid (MASA), and -vinylpyrrolidone, which have a low cytotoxicity and a high antiviral activity against the human respiratory syncytial virus. The interaction of copolymers with Tb ions was studied. The complexes formed in dilute aqueous solutions at a concentration of MASA units ⩽ 1 · 10 mol L demonstrate a strong luminescence.

The brain tissue leads to the death of brain cells in less than a few minutes due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacological correction of the consequences of ischemic stroke with a new derivative of taurine magnesium-bis-(2-aminoethanesulfonic)-butanedioate under laboratory code LKHT 3-17 in rats.
