In this paper structure, magnetic and magneto-thermal properties: magnetic entropy change (Δ) and refrigeration capacity () of ErY(CoFe)alloys (= 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.

Data on the morphology and chemical state of coatings based on TiN obtained by condensation with ion bombardment on various substrates.

This article presents the effect of the substrate on the morphology and chemical composition of titanium nitride coatings formed using the condensation with ion bombardment method. Various steels, sintered hard alloy (tungsten carbide - 92%, cobalt - 8%) and titanium-based alloy were used as substrates. The paper presents the XPS data obtained at various depths from the surface.

[Laparoscopic rendezvous surgery for cholecystocholedocholithiasis].

Objective: To present a modified technique of laparoscopic surgery (Rendezvous technique) for cholecystocholedocholithiasis.

Material And Methods: There were 41 patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis who underwent hybrid single-stage laparoscopic surgery (Rendezvous technique) as an alternative to conventional two-stage approach.

Results: Two (4.

Quick SOFA vs Rockall preendoscopy scores for risk assessment in patients with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Several scoring systems are used to evaluate the severity of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGB) and the risk of rebleeding or death. The most commonly used scoring systems include the Rockall score, Glasgow-Blatchford score, and Forrest classification. However, the use of simpler definitions, such as the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score, to make a clinical decision is reasonable in areas with limited time and/or material resources and in low- and middle-income countries.

[Epidemiology and risk factors of adverse outcome in nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding].

Aim: To identify risk factors of adverse outcomes in patients with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Material And Methods: Epidemiological observational analytical longitudinal retrospective cohort study included 312 patients who were hospitalized in the Clinical Hospital #40 of Yekaterinburg in 2014-2016. The main inclusion criterion was nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

[Evaluation of markers for renal graft dysfunction in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus after kidney transplantation and simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation].

Aim: To study the markers of renal graft dysfunction in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) after kidney transplantation (KT) and simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT).

Subjects And Methods: The investigation enrolled 20 patients after successful SPKT and 41 patients after KT (of them 21 received continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with an insulin doser; 20 had multiple insulin injections). The periods after KT and SPKT at patient inclusion were 8 (7; 8) and 11 (8; 18) months, respectively.

[Magnesium deficiency and stress: Issues of their relationship, diagnostic tests, and approaches to therapy].

Magnesium plays an important role in the functions of the central nervous system. It takes part in the regulation of the cell membrane, the transmembrane transport of calcium and sodium ions, and metabolic reactions that produce, accumulate, transfer, and utilize energy, free radicals, and their oxidation products. The magnesium-containing substances include many sequestered antigens, such as glial fibrillary acidic protein, S100, and neuron-specific enolase; magnesium may act as a neuroprotector that is able to modulate the regulation of blood-brain barrier permeability.

Congenital complete absence of pericardium masquerading as pulmonary embolism.

Congenital absence of the pericardium is a rare cardiac condition, which can be either isolated or associated with other cardiac and extracardiac anomalies. There are six different types, depending on the severity of the involvement. Most of the patients with this defect are asymptomatic, especially the ones with complete absence of the pericardium.

Effect of cross-linker length on the stability of hemoglobin.

A series of cross-linking reagents with 4 to 7 carbons have been synthesized and used to modify human hemoglobin. The product yields and biochemical properties of these cross-linked hemoglobins are compared to those made with both longer and shorter cross-linkers. Several trends become apparent.

[Boslab computer-based system: a polyfunctional computer biofeedback environment].

Ways of enhancing the functional capabilities of the BOSLAB biofeedback software-hardware system are suggested. These include the use of virtual channels, a dual monitor system, calculated condition thresholds, built-in games, and controlled video effects in slide shows and video films.

Synthesis of a hemoglobin polymer containing antioxidant enzymes using complementary chemistry of maleimides and sulfhydryls.

To increase the overall size of hemoglobin (Hb), we developed a novel system of polymerization based on the complementary chemistry between sulfhydryls and maleimides. The maleimides were introduced onto the protein through N-(-maleimidobutyryloxy) succinimide, while the sulfhydryls were added using 2-iminothiolane hydrochloride (Trauts reagent). Resulting polymers showed SDS-PAGE bands with molecular weights as high as 96 kDa.

Acute abdomen secondary to ascaris lumbricoides infestation of the small bowel.

Ascariasis is a helminthic infection commonly found in tropical climates. It often propagates in communities of low socioeconomic status secondary to contamination of the soil and water supply with human feces. We present a case report of a 42-year-old Asian-Indian female presenting with a long-standing history of severe recurrent postprandial epigastric pain, requiring multiple hospital admissions.

Druy ureteral stent set: clinical experience in 25 patients.

Clinical experience with a new universal-length silicone ureteral stent set is described. The technique for placing the stent is discussed in detail. The softness and universal length of the stent are important advantages over rigid stents.
