The study population included 2357 residents of Arkhangelsk aged 35-69 years, and 272 in-patients treated for alcohol problems (narcological patients) who participated in the Know Your Heart (KYH) cross-sectional study in 2015-2017.

Novel approach to artefact detection and the definition of normal ranges of segmental strain and strain-rate values.

Aims: Strain artefacts are known to hamper the correct interpretation of segmental strain and strain-rate (S/SR). Defining the normal ranges of myocardial segmental deformation is important in clinical studies and routine echocardiographic practice. In order to define artefact-free normal ranges for segmental longitudinal S/SR parameters, we investigated the extent to which different types of artefacts and their segmental localisation in the three different myocardial layers created a bias in the results of echocardiographic strain measurements.

Correlation of marker periodontopathogenic bacteria with the immune component sCD secretion level in inflammatory periodontal diseases.

Lipopolysaccharide of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria is a highly active biological substance: its interaction with toll-like receptors-4 (TLR-4) of myeloid cells leads to the activation of a cascade of inflammatory reactions, which is accompanied by the release of the soluble CD14 receptor (sCD14), which can be considered not only as a marker of cell activation by endotoxin, but also as a marker of microbial translocation. The aim of the work was to assess the prognostic significance of the sCD14 level in the samples of the periodontal pocket in inflammatory periodontal diseases and the relationship of its secretion with marker periodontopathogens. For the study, washes were obtained from the periodontal pocket (88 samples in total) from patients with chronic periodontitis and intact periodontium.
