We performed cluster analysis of stabilometry data of 129 men and 122 women at the age of 20-60 years using the following 4 methods: European stabilometry variant, Romberg test (European variant), Romberg test (American variant), and Romberg test (American Universal variant). Results of factor analysis of primary data matrix obtained during the test "eye open-teeth clenched" attest to higher clinical significance of absolute stabilometry parameters in comparison with relative ones. The results of factor analysis revealed peculiarities of functional status of the stomatognathic system as the postural sensor and its effect on postural balance. The contribution of the functional status of the stomatognathic system into the postural balance is about 2%.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant preventable cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality after major abdominopelvic surgery that calls for extended VTE prophylaxis (eVTEp). Literature suggests that significant racial disparities may exist in post-operative care.

Objective: The study sought to examine if racial disparities exist in the administration of eVTEp after hysterectomy in a statewide collaborative.

The inferior colliculus is a key nucleus in the central auditory pathway, integrating acoustic stimuli from both cochleae and playing a crucial role in sound localization. It undergoes functional and structural development in childhood and experiences age-related degeneration later in life, contributing to the progression of age-related hearing loss. This study aims at finding out, whether the volume of the human inferior colliculus can be determined by analysis of routinely performed MRIs and whether there is any age-related variation.

Aim: To assess the relationship between body mass index (BMI), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) and clinical outcomes in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients.

Methods: Non-ischemic DCM patients were prospectively enrolled. Regional adipose tissue, cardiac function, and myocardial tissue characteristics were measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
