SMALL BUT MIGHTY: CHARACTERIZATION OF VB_SPY_7, A LYTIC PHAGE TARGETING STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES.

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens necessitates alternative therapies for treating microbial infections, especially in the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract. Our team has developed Phage Pastilles, a controlled-release formulation containing bacteriophages that target common pathogens, including Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus salivarius, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and E. coli.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MEMORY AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES AFTER RADON-CONTAINED MINERAL WATER INHALATION THERAPY IN AGED RATS.

Unlabelled: This research article elucidates the pivotal role of radiopharmacy in the contemporary landscape, underscoring its potential therapeutic efficacy in addressing symptoms associated with aged-related neurocognitive processes. Clinical trials, characterized by the judicious application of modest radiation doses, exemplified by low-dose radon, have yielded affirmative outcomes in the amelioration of aged, related symptoms.

Material And Methods: The study was conducted on an animal model.

THE EVALUATION OF THE RISK OF COMPLICATIONS DURING MULTIMODAL AND OPIOID ANESTHESIA IN BARIATRIC SURGERY AND ABDOMINOPLASTY.

The use of opioids for anesthesia during surgery is associated with side effects. The aim of our study is to assess the risk of postoperative pain during multimodal and opioid anesthesia in bariatric surgery and abdominoplasty. The study observed 127 patients (93 women, 34 men) aged 20-70 who underwent bariatric surgery and abdominoplasty.

CORRELATES OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS CHARACTERISTICS IN MILITARY PERSONNEL.

Atopic dermatitis, despite its relatively wide distribution and low severity, was statistically often a disqualification condition for military service. The aim of our study is to determine correlations between characteristics of atopic dermatitis in military personnel. 144 people with atopic dermatitis were under our observation, 78 of them military personnel, 26 military family members and 40 civilians, 62 men and 82 women.

NORMALIZING EFFECT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC STIMULATION ON BLOOD QUANTITATIVE INDICES IN DEPRESSED RATS ON THE BACKGROUND OF OXYTOCIN.

Depression is linked to systemic inflammation. There is an association between blood cell count and/or hematological inflammatory markers with depression symptoms. Oxytocin reduces the activity of brain regions that produce anxiety and might involve in the rehabilitation of depressive-like behavior.

Convergence or Divergence? Life Expectancy Patterns in Post-communist Countries, 1959-2010.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union experienced an unanticipated stagnation in the process of mortality reduction that was accelerating in the west. This was followed by even starker fluctuations and overall declines in life expectancy during the 1980s and 1990s. We identify statistically the extent to which, since the 1990s, the countries of the post-communist region have converged as a group towards other regional or cross-regional geopolitical blocks, or whether there are now multiple steady-states ('convergence clubs') emerging among these countries.

Serum Zonulin and Endotoxin Levels in Exceptional Longevity versus Precocious Myocardial Infarction.

Endotoxemia-induced inflammation has been associated with insulin resistance and atherosclerosis, ultimately increasing the risk of coronary heart disease. Increased intestinal permeability is an important event leading to endotoxemia. This study aims to elucidate the possible association between endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) and zonulin (a biomarker of intestinal permeability) levels and the risk of coronary heart disease, and thus healthy aging.
