The principle and applications of quartz-crystal resonator systems and the methods to increase their reliability and applicability coupled with other instruments were reported. The principle of quartz-crystal resonator system was documented with based on the three basic concepts for mass, viscosity, and viscoelastic changes. In the preliminary discussion, the realization of a resonant frequency-resonant resistance diagram was described in detail. As the examples of quartz-crystal resonator applications with introducing the resonant resistance concept and the resonant frequency, the fabrication of a carbon-coated quartz crystal sensor and monitoring changes in the viscoelastic properties of thin polymer films were carefully discussed. Examples for increasing their reliability and applicability of quartz crystal resonator systems combined with UV-visible spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), or Charge Coupled Device (CdCD) camera were described.

Numerous cities in the Russian Federation have joined the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Network for Age-Friendly Cities and Communities since 2011. In order to do quantitative evaluations of the age-friendliness of cities, the Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Questionnaire (AFCCQ) was developed in the Netherlands. The purpose of this study was to translate and test the validity and reliability of the AFCCQ for use in the Russian Federation, and to study the views on the age-friendliness of the city of Kazan in the Republic of Tatarstan from an intergenerational perspective.

Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) require lifelong treatment, which significantly impacts their quality of life. Self-management of this disease is an effective factor in managing chronic conditions and improving patients' quality of life. The use of mobile applications is a novel approach to providing self-management models and healthcare services for patients with IBD.

Background: Resuscitation of paediatric cardiac and respiratory arrest is a high-stakes and low frequency event in the paediatric emergency department. Resuscitation team performance assessment tools have been developed and validated for use in the simulation environment, but no tool currently exists to evaluate clinical performance in non-simulated, live paediatric resuscitations.
Methods: This is a validation study assessing inter-rater reliability of a novel assessment tool of clinical performance of non-simulated resuscitations, the Team Resuscitation for Paediatrics tool.
