Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at risk for a higher incidence and severity of COVID-19, as well as its adverse outcomes, including post-Covid syndrome.
Aim: to assess the incidence of cardiorenal complications in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1DM/T2DM) who have had COVID-19, and to analyze the structure and severity of disorders according to examination data at the Diamobil mobile medical diagnostic and treatment center.
Materials And Methods: a cohort of T1DM and T2DM patients examined in Diamobil (n=318), with a confirmed anamnesis of COVID-19 (n=236).
The objective of the present study was to optimize genotyping of nuclear DNA contained in human hair. The most efficient procedures for DNA isolation and typing are described taking into consideration the hair growth phase, the epithelial tissue conditions, and the number of nuclei in the near-root ends of the hair. The recommendations for the expert interpretation of the results of the molecular-genetic investigations are proposed.

It was proposed to distinguish between five groups of hair depending on its growth phase, the presence or absence of epithelial tissues at the root terminus. An algorithm was developed for carrying out prognostic screening including the morphological and cytomorphological investigations the results of which can be used to evaluate the possibility for further genotyping.

They are thicker than the disordered part of the membrane and are thought to form to compensate for the hydrophobic mismatch between transmembrane proteins and the lipid environment. Despite the existence of such structures in vivo still being an open question, they are observed in model systems of multicomponent lipid bilayers.

The results of the trials indicate that the proposed test-system can be employed for the investigation of DNA specimens of individual origin obtained from any objects of expertise including micro-objects containing human nuclear DNA.
