Local colonisations and extinctions of European birds are poorly explained by changes in climate suitability.

Climate change has been associated with both latitudinal and elevational shifts in species' ranges. The extent, however, to which climate change has driven recent range shifts alongside other putative drivers remains uncertain. Here, we use the changing distributions of 378 European breeding bird species over 30 years to explore the putative drivers of recent range dynamics, considering the effects of climate, land cover, other environmental variables, and species' traits on the probability of local colonisation and extinction.

[POLYHEXAMETHYLENE BIGUANID HYDROCHLORIDE (BIGUANELLE) THERAPY OF BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS].

Unlabelled: The aim of our study was to determine the efficacy and tolerability of local therapy with polyhexamethylene biguanid hydrochloride (BIGUANELLE) in women with anaerobic vaginal infection.

Material And Methods: We include in our study 23 women (18-50) with established by AMSEL criteria bacterial vaginosis. In all of the women at the beginning and at the end of the survey was performed gynecological examination and microbiological research (AMSEL).

[Reconstructive-reparative surgeries on the esophagus in burn cicatricial strictures].

Esophagoplasty was performed in 196 patients. Combined disease of the esophagus and stomach was in 71 patients. Esophagogastroplasty was performed in 122 patients, including 104 with gastric tube, 12 -- with whole stomach, 6 -- by means of lengthening of whole stomach.

Serum IgG and IgM ganglioside GM1 antibodies in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Introduction: In order to obtain more information concerning the pathogenic significance of ganglioside GM1 in multiple sclerosis serum polyclonal IgG and IgM antibodies to GM1 were evaluated in multiple sclerosis patients with relapsing-remitting and secondary progressive forms of the disease.

Patients And Methods: The evaluated sera were from 55 patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis and from 20 healthy subjects. Forty-two of patients were with relapsing-remitting and 13 with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

Serum ganglioside patterns in multiple sclerosis.

The relative distribution of gangliosides was determined in the serum of 37 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and of 30 healthy subjects. There was a significant increase of GM1 and GD1a, and a decrease of GM3 proportion in the serum of relapsing-remitting MS patients (RRMS) during their first MS attack. The RRMS patients in relapse with a long duration of the disease had a significant decrease of GM1 and an increase of GD1a portion in the serum.
