Effects of the angiotensin receptor blocker Valsartan (Valsacor®) on arterial pressure, indices of myocardial diastolic function and global longitudinal strain in patients with uncontrolled arterial hypertension.

Unlabelled: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Valsartan (Valsacor®) on arterial pressure (AP) and indices of myocardial diastolic and global function in patients with uncontrolled arterial hypertension (AH).

Material And Methods: 60 patients (39 men and 21 women, mean age 63.9 ± 10.

[A study of a two-energy bar of detectors for x-ray osteodensitometry].

Described are the results of mathematic modeling for different types of detectors (with different scintillators for high- and low-energy spectrum ranges) as well as the results of experimental research. It was also analyzed of how a manufacturing technology of ZnSe(Te) and CsI(Tl)-based scintillators affects the detector-bar resolution ability. Finally, the influence of signals in canals of detectors on the signals in neighboring canals was investigated.

[Effect of combined use of sulfate-sodium chloride mineral water and captopril in experimental atherosclerosis].

Course effects of mineral water (MW) Dzhemukhskaya and captopril were studied in 80 Wistar male rats with experimental atherosclerosis. Captopril significantly enhanced effects of MW. Aldosterone levels decreased 2.
