This article represents the particularities of people's blood and bone marrow referent parameters during aging. On the basis of 56 blood parameters of apparently healthy people a mathematical model of blood's morphofunctional state during physical aging was created. The following integral changes have been discovered: in age group of 35-59 years the integral indicator amounts to 0.05 +/- 0.0008, it approaches the benchmark in elderly age (0.02 +/- 0.0001) and becomes negative with people of gerontic age (-0.06 +/- 0.0003). On the basis of 14 selected blood parameters a calculation of referent integral indicators of blood state for healthy people of various age groups was performed, which serve as standards in clinical practice. Out of 70 peripheral blood cells' indicators the integral indicators for patients suffering from community-acquired pneumonia were calculated. The organism reacts to pneumonia most appropriately at the age of 22-34 years (integral indicator amounts to -0.0386). In patients of 35-59 years the integral indicator descends closer to zero mark (-0.0236), pointing to minor reaction to inflammation. Patients over 60 years of age show the biggest divergence of integral indicator from the benchmark (-0.0613), which points to an inadequate reaction of the organism to inflammation in this age. Based on discriminant analysis of 80 indicators (clinical blood analysis, cytograms, cardiac beat count, breath count, C-reactive protein) the most informatory indicators used to create the algorithm for determination of pneumonia severity were chosen.

Organic-inorganic halocuprates(I) form a promising class of light-emitting materials with high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield. However, the understanding of their emission properties and the PL mechanism is still limited. Here, we investigate thin films of bis(tetrapropylammonium) hexa-µ-bromo-tetrahedro-tetracuprate(I), [N(C3H7)4]2[Cu4Br6], which has a zero-dimensional (0D) molecular salt structure containing [Cu4Br6]2- ions.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) infectious wounds are a major concern due to drug resistance, leading to increased patient morbidity. Lichenysin (LCN), a lipopeptide and biosurfactant obtained from certain strains of , has demonstrated an excellent antimicrobial property. The present study focuses on the fabrication and comprehensive evaluation of LCN-incorporated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanofiber scaffolds using an electrospinning technique as a potential wound healing biomaterial for the treatment of MDR infectious wounds in diabetic rats.

Despite our subjective experience of a largely symmetric visual world, the human brain exhibits varying patterns and degrees of hemispheric asymmetry in distinct processes of visual cognition. This chapter reviews behavioral and neuroimaging evidence from neurotypical individuals and neurological patients, concerning functional asymmetries between the right hemisphere (RH) and the left hemisphere (LH) in visual object processing and mental imagery. Hierarchical perception shows RH preference for global processing and LH preference for local processing.

Background: There is growing evidence that the occurrence and severity of respiratory diseases in children are related to the concentration of air pollutants. Nonetheless, evidence regarding the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in children remains limited. Outpatients cover a wide range of disease severity, including both severe and mild cases, some of which may need to be transferred to inpatient treatment.

Background: Nasoenteral tube (NET) use is common in critically ill patients but is associated with significant complications, including accidental dislodgement, malpositioning in the bronchial tree or mechanical failures, which can impede nutritional therapy. These complications often lead to adverse events that increase hospital stay, costs, and patient morbidity.

Objective: This study aimed to reduce complications related to the placement and maintenance of NETs in critically ill patients using multifaceted strategies.
