Until now, there has been an acute shortage of valid and reliable tools in Russia for making an accurate and highly differentiable assessment of hypnotizability. However, numerous studies confirm the high efficiency, reliability, and accuracy of the Elkins Hypnotizability Scale (EHS), allowing it to claim the title of the new gold standard for assessing hypnotizability. In the present study, the original English-language version of the EHS was translated into Russian. One hundred and five volunteers from Moscow (42% male; 58% female), aged 19 to 44, underwent a hypnotizability assessment procedure according to the EHS protocol. The Russian version of the EHS, like the original, requires an average of 28 minutes to administer and score by a trained assessor. The results showed that the Russian version of the EHS has good internal consistency and does not contain unnecessary elements. Alpha Cronbach values (0.76), and the item-total correlations ( = 0.44-0.64) are satisfactory.

Mobility and community at Mesolithic Lake Onega, Karelia, north-west Russia: insights from strontium isotope analysis.

Department of Cultures, Archaeology, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov burial site, focusing on group dynamics and regional interactions of the Mesolithic population in Northern Europe.
- Radiogenic strontium isotope analysis revealed that most individuals likely lived semi-permanently near Lake Onega, with only two showing evidence of having spent time outside the area.
- The findings suggest stable residential patterns for Late Mesolithic foragers while also highlighting connections to broader communication networks, indicating some long-distance interactions.
The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test: adaptation into Russian and a new digital "RAVLT World".

Center for Language and Brain, HSE University, Moscow, Russia.
The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) is a classic test used to assess episodic verbal memory in research and clinical practice. We aimed to adapt the RAVLT materials into Russian, provide performance norms across the adult lifespan for the Russian adaptation, and develop a mobile application for automated RAVLT administration across languages. We created three psycholinguistically matched alternative versions of the RAVLT materials in Russian and incorporated them into a new tablet application.

Objective: To compare biomarkers of neurovascular unit (NVU) - S100β, NSE, BDNF and indicators of the brain electrical activity in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depending on the use of different versions of multi-tasking cognitive training (CT).
Material And Methods: The study included 89 people, of whom 47 completed the CTI (postural and three cognitive tasks (counting backwards, verbal fluency and the open-ended task «Unusual use of an ordinary object») and 42 patients, who underwent CTII (visuomotor reaction and the same cognitive tasks) in the early postoperative CABG period. The patients of both groups underwent complex testing of psychomotor, executive functions, attention, short-term memory and EEG study in the perioperative period of CABG.
Using Food Composition Tables to Estimate Decreases in Sodium Intake Due to the Reformulation of Packaged and Ultra-Processed Foods in a Young Population in South Africa.

South African Medical Research Council, Cape Town, Republic of South Africa.
Objective: In response to increasing hypertension rates, South Africa implemented a regulation which set a maximum total sodium content for certain packaged food categories. We assess changes in reported sodium intake among 18-39 year old adults living in one township in the Western Cape as a result of the implementation of the regulation in 2016.
Design: By linking one set of 24 hour dietary recall data to two versions of the South Africa Food Composition Database which reflect the pre-regulation and post-regulation periods, we calculated changes in sodium intake due to reformulation of food products, not behavior change.
