Thyroid hormones and minerals in immunocorrection of disorders in autoimmune thyroid diseases.

Thyroid hormones and essential elements iodine (I), selenium (Se), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), etc. play an important role in the work of many organs and systems of the body, including the immune system and the thyroid gland, and a violation of their supply can be the cause of pathological changes in them. In pathology, the interaction between thyroid hormones (TG), minerals and the immune system is disturbed.

RAAS inhibitors are associated with a better chance of surviving of inpatients with Covid-19 without a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, compared with similar patients who did not require antihypertensive therapy or were treated with other antihypertensives.

Purpose: The effect of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors in combination with COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus (DM) remains unknown. We assessed the risk of death in COVID-19 inpatients based on the presence or absence of DM, arterial hypertension (AH) and the use of RAAS inhibitors or other antihypertensives.

Methods: The results of treatment of all adult PCR-confirmed COVID-19 inpatients (n = 1097, women 63.

Metabolic and Anthropometric Parameters of Persons at Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Before and After 3 Months of Consuming Insoluble Dietary Fiber.

Background: Observational studies have shown that insoluble fiber (IF) can be effective in preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D), but there is a lack of experimental data on the effect of short-term consumption of IF on metabolic parameters. We tried to investigate whether there was an improvement in glycemia and body composition in individuals at risk for T2D after 3 months of IF consumption.

Methods: This "Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Prevention Ukraine (T2DPUA)" study describes participants with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) as determined by ADA criteria.

Positive Electrode Passivation by Side Discharge Products in Li-O Batteries.

The development of high specific energy Li-O batteries faces a problem of poor cycling as a result of passivation of the positive electrode by both the discharge product (LiO) and side products (LiCO, etc.). The latter are the result of oxidation of the electrode materials or electrolyte components primarily by discharge intermediate superoxide anions (O) and, in less degree, by LiO.

Homogeneous nucleation of LiO under Li-O battery discharge.

The development of high-energy lithium-oxygen batteries has significantly slowed by numerous challenges including capacity limitations due to electrode surface passivation by the discharge product LiO. Since the passivation rate and intensity are dependent on the deposit morphology, herein, we focus on the mechanisms governing LiO formation within the porous cathode. We report evidence of homogeneous nucleation of LiO crystallites and their further assembly in bulk of the electrolyte solution in DMSO, which possesses a high donor number.
