Study of the triton-burnup process in different JET scenarios using neutron monitor based on CVD diamond.

We present the results of analysis of triton burn-up process using the data from diamond detector. Neutron monitor based on CVD diamond was installed in JET torus hall close to the plasma center. We measure the part of 14 MeV neutrons in scenarios where plasma current varies in a range of 1-3 MA.

[Mutation del 1,02kb in the CLN3 gene and extrapyramidal syndrome].

Mutations in the GBA and SMPD1 genes, which lead to the development of lysosomal storage diseases, are high risk factors for Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. We screened the mutations in the GALC and CLN3 genes in patients with Parkinson's disease and control subjects. A heterozygous CLN3 mutation (del 1.

[Perfusion, Metabolism and Regional Myocardial Contractility in Patients With Valvular Heart Disease: a Long-Term Follow-Up After Valve Replacement].

Aim: To perform complex assessment of myocardial perfusion, metabolism, and regional contractility in patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) in remote period after surgical correction of heart defects.

Material And Methods: We examined 30 patients with VHD in 1-8 years after heart valve replacement because of mitral (n=13) or aortic (n=17) valve defects of the following etiology: rheumatic heart disease (n=10), degeneration of connective tissue (n=13), infective endocarditis (n=7). For assessment of myocardial perfusion, metabolism, and regional contractility, we used single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

[Computed tomography in the assessment of causes of restrictive lung disorders in patients with pulmonary histiocytosis X].

Objective: To estimate the capabilities of computed tomography (CT) in revealing the anatomic causes of restrictive lung changes in patients with pulmonary histiocytosis X.

Subject And Methods: The results of examining 36 patients with pulmonary histiocytosis X, who underwent comprehensive functional study of external respiration (CRSER), CT, and high-performance CT (HPCT), were analyzed.

Results: According to the results of CRSER, the authors identified a group of patients with restrictive ventilation disorders, which included 7 men and 1 woman.

[Individual approach to choosing the exposure time during myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography].

Objective: To assess whether the quality of the results of myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) may be improved by applying an individual approach to choosing the exposure time of a study.

Material And Methods: The results of myocardial perfusion SPECT with the radiotracer (RT) Technetril upon 25-sec (short) and 60-sec (long) exposures in 22 patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) and coronary heart disease (CHD) were retrospectively analyzed. The basis for the comparative assessment of the study results was the number of myocardial impulses (NMI).
