[The characteristic of immunity in long-lived persons and selection of the immunosenescence markers].

Purpose of the work is to select the indices of immunograms, associated with immunosenescence. The lymphocyte subpopulations were defined by the method of polychrome flowing cytometry in 276 patients of 90+ year with the identical spectrum of chronic unspecific inflammatory diseases. The cluster was revealed consisting of subpopulation of T-lymphocytes (T-lymph) with the high frequency of deviations from standard--helper CD4+, cytotoxic CD8+--T-lymph.

Knowledge logistics as an intelligent service for healthcare.

Objectives: The technology of grid services is developing fast. This paper presents an approach to the implementation of an intelligent grid service that configures a hospital taking advantage of the knowledge logistics idea.

Methods: The presented approach is based on synergistic integration of knowledge acquired from distributed sources in order to obtain new or complement insufficient knowledge.

Ontology-based knowledge repository support for healthgrids.

Healthgrids unite a large amount of independent and distributed organisations to provide for various healthcare services. Often the involved organisations can belong to different areas of healthcare and even different countries. However to achieve efficient operation they have to act in a well coordinated manner.
