[Risk factors of gastroduodenal bleeding in patients with severe burns].

An experience of treatment of 133 patients with severe bums was analyzed. Bleedings from the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract were diagnosed in 16 patients in different terms since their admission to the hospital. At the moment of carrying out of the endoscopic research all bleedings were considered as taking place.

[Thermal preference and avoidance in cladoceran Daphnia magna strauss (Crustacea, Cladocera) acclimated to constant temperature].

The final preferable temperature (FPT) and avoidance temperature (AT) were determined in parthenogenetic females of the crustacean Daphnia magna Strauss. The animals were preliminary acclimated to constant temperature of 23.4 degrees C followed by keeping them in a thermo-gradient device for 24 days.

[Final thermal preference in parthenogenetic females of Daphnia magna Straus (Crustacea: Cladocera) acclimated to various temperatures].

The final thermal preference (FTP) range in parthenogenetic females of cladoceran Daphnia magna was assessed by "acute" and "chronic" methods. The first method included 4-month acclimation to different temperatures in the range of 14.2 +/- 0.
