Article Synopsis
  • - Aim: The study aimed to investigate how epicardial adiposity (fat around the heart) affects the risk and severity of coronary atherosclerosis in men with ischemic heart disease.
  • - Methodology: Researchers analyzed metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors in 138 men, ages 46-65, and measured the thickness of epicardial fat using echocardiography alongside performing coronary angiography.
  • - Findings: The study found that greater epicardial fat thickness was linked to more severe coronary atherosclerosis, with an 80.4% sensitivity and 67.6% specificity in predicting significant atherosclerosis, also highlighting factors like age, leptin, resistin, and waist circumference as contributing risks.

Reviews data on analysis of narcotic phencyclidine and its main metabolites and analogs. Pharmacological and toxic characteristics of phencyclidine, conditions of its isolation from biological objects and its detection and measurement by thin layer and gas chromatography and by chromatographic mass-spectrometry are described. Analysis of phencyclidine metabolites is discussed and a scheme of its metabolism is presented.
