[Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR): case report and literature review].

Unlabelled: Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) is a rare and highly malignant brain tumor that develops in children younger 4 years old. This neoplasm is characterized by extremely aggressive course, low sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thanks to the progress of pathologists, diagnosis of ETMR is now available using immunohistochemical examination with LIN28A and SALL4 antibodies.

Repertoire of glycan-binding placenta-associated antibodies in healthy pregnancy and in pre-eclampsia.

A possible mechanism of the immune tolerance in pregnancy is production of blocking antibodies which reside in placenta and protect foetal allogeneic cells from the mother's immune system. Their epitope specificity, as well as the nature of the biomolecules masked by them, is unknown. For better understanding of this phenomenon, we attempted to characterize the specificity of antibodies isolated from placentas of women with healthy pregnancy and pre-eclampsia (PE).

Periostin as a Biomarker of Allergic Inflammation in Atopic Bronchial Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis (a Pilot Study).

Unlabelled: The involvement of periostin in Th2-dependent allergic inflammation has been documented. However, the significance of periostin as a biomarker of local allergic inflammation in the nasal mucosa (NM) of patients with atopic bronchial asthma (BA) and allergic rhinitis (AR) is yet to be determined. was to determine the presence of periostin and evaluate its role as a non-invasive marker of allergic inflammation in the nasal secretions of children with atopic BA and AR.

Keratoconus Diagnostic and Treatment Algorithms Based on Machine-Learning Methods.

The accurate diagnosis of keratoconus, especially in its early stages of development, allows one to utilise timely and proper treatment strategies for slowing the progression of the disease and provide visual rehabilitation. Various keratometry indices and classifications for quantifying the severity of keratoconus have been developed. Today, many of them involve the use of the latest methods of computer processing and data analysis.

[Justification for the use of modular intraocular lens (experimental study)].

Unlabelled: The rising number of cases requiring intraocular lens (IOL) exchange, including those for refractive reasons, drives the search for methods to minimize the trauma of the procedure. Lens implants with modular optics may lower complication risks.

Purpose: To test the use of modular IOL on a laboratory animal in an experiment.

[A clinical case of exacerbation of chronic right-sided epimesotimpanitis, complicated by secondary otogenic purulent meningoencephalitis, abscess of the right hemisphere of the cerebellum and septic thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus].

This article describes a clinical case of exacerbation of chronic right-sided epimesotimpanitis, complicated by secondary otogenic purulent meningoencephalitis, an abscess of the right hemisphere of the cerebellum and septic thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus. This is a rare complication of chronic epimesotimpanitis. The article describes the dynamics of treatment and diagnostic justifies the optimal choice of personalized tactics of treatment measures in the hospital, as well as further observation of the patient in the conditions of outpatient health care.

Structural, luminescence and thermometric properties of nanocrystalline YVO:Dy temperature and concentration series.

We report systematic study of Dy-doped YVO nanophosphors synthesized via modified Pechini technique. Effect of calcination temperature and doping concentration on structure and luminescence has been investigated. XRD and Raman spectroscopy revealed preparation of single phase nanoparticles without any impurities.
