The authors provide the data on the dynamics of the hematological parameters during continuous leponex (clozapin) treatment of two group of patients treated in 1973-1989 at the All-Union Mental Health Research Center, USSR AMS (107 patients) and at 12 Research Centers of the USSR, CSFR, Bulgaria and Poland (642 patients). The mean duration of the treatment was 4.8 and 12.4 months respectively. Moderate leukopenia (3000-4000/ml) developed in 0.5 and 1.2% of all the analyses, the neutrophil/leukocyte ratio always remained within normal (50% and higher), whereas the neutrophil count did not drop below 1600/ml, i. e. it was not pathological. Despite the relatively long treatment no cases of granulocytopenia (or agranulocytosis) were recorded. It is shown that the side hematological effect is not related to the magnitude of the diurnal dose of leponex. Recommendations are given for wide use of leponex in medical practice under constant control of the blood status, with the use of the method of a slow and progressive augmentation of the daily dose.

Treatment effect of head extension by cervical collar on moderate obstructive sleep apnea-A randomized controlled trial.
J Sleep Res

Department of Medical Sciences, Respiratory, Allergy and Sleep Research, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
As available treatments in obstructive sleep apnea are all associated with side-effects or adherence problems, there is a need for alternative treatment options. In this randomized, open, parallel-group intervention study, the effect of head extension by cervical collar was evaluated in patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. One-hundred patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnea (apneas and hypopneas per estimated hours asleep = respiratory events index: 15-30) were randomized to either lifestyle intervention, or cervical collar in combination with lifestyle intervention.

Zn metal anodes in mildly acidic electrolytes usually suffer from a series of problems, including parasitic dendrite growth and severe side reactions, significantly limiting the Zn utilization efficiency and cycling life. A deep understanding of the Zn stripping/plating process is essential to obtain high-efficiency and long-life Zn metal anodes. Here, the factors affecting the Zn stripping/plating process are revealed, suggesting that thermodynamic uniformity in bulk structures promotes an orderly Zn stripping process, and a fast kinetic diffusion rate on the Zn surface facilitates uniform Zn deposition.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are regarded as the potential alternative of lithium-ion batteries due to their ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh g-1). However, severe instability and safety problems caused by the dendrite growth and inevitable side reactions have hindered the commercialization of LMBs. To solve them, in this contribution, a design strategy of soluble lithiophilic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is proposed.

Background: Cartilage defects in the knee joint are areas of damage and wear to the cartilage that normally covers and protects the ends of bones. These defects occur due to sudden injuries, such as trauma or sports accidents, or due to chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis. Cartilage acts as a shock absorber (cushion absorber), reducing the impact of mechanical stress on the joints, which helps prevent bone damage during movement.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is involuntary urine leakage during effort. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a common physical therapy for SUI, but has low adherence and its long-term effectiveness is uncertain. Drug therapy has side-effect problems and surgery has risks.
