The use of glycerolates of biogenic elements as biocompatible precursors in sol-gel synthesis is an innovative direction and opens up new scientific and practical prospects in chemistry and technology of producing practically important biomedical materials, including hemostatic, antimicrobial, and wound healing materials. Using biocompatible precursors, silicon, zinc, boron, and iron glycerolates, new bioactive nanocomposite hydrogels were obtained by the sol-gel method. The composition and structural features of the hydrogels were studied using a complex of modern analytical techniques, including TEM, XRD, AES, and ESI MS.

The authors of the article believe that compliance is a kind of quantifiable and behaviorally realized reflection of therapeutic interaction, refracted through the prism of the patient's individual personality characteristics. Participants of the study-148 employees of medical institutions: 12 men, 136 women, their age ranged from 27 to 74 years.

Materials And Methods: The cross-sectional study included 104 patients diagnosed with nonvalvular AF and followed in the medical facilities of Yekaterinburg. The subjects were interviewed, anthropometric measurements were made, and the risk of thromboembolic complications was evaluated using the CHA2DS2-VASc score.
Aim: to assess the prevalence of subnormal bone mineral density (BMD) of the distal forearm among women living in Perm and the Perm Region, by taking into account the data of distal forearm X-ray densitometry and risk factors of osteoporosis (OP).
Subjects And Materials: This one-stage study included 1765 women aged 50-90 years (mean age 61.8 years, standard deviation 8.
