RADICAL CHANGE OF IDEAS ABOUT THE NATURE OF A MAN IN TIMES OF SUPER-TECHNOLOGIES: THE SOCIAL CONTEXT

The report is devoted to problems of changing human nature through the use of new technologies and super-technologies. The presented work is focused on the place of the new man (post-human) in the society. The role of convergence and convergent technologies in the practice of changing the human nature is considered

TRANSFORMATION OF THE CONCEPT OF «KNOWLEDGE» IN THE XXI CENTURY

The article is devoted to the problem of knowledge in the correlation of rational and irrational in the modern world. The study revealed that rational knowledge is inseparable from the irrational. It is possible to achieve full knowledge only in their unity.

SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF FORESIGHT STUDIES OF THE SOCIETY

The article reveals the content of scientific and technological development in the context of foresight researches. The emphasis is placed on main trends of scientific and technological development - first of all the improvement of convergence of technologies - engines of the new technological breakthrough, the main basis of the new technological order core formation. 

Morphological Evaluation of the Splenic Artery, Its Anatomical Variations and Irrigation Territory

Background: Precise knowledge of the topographic features of the splenic artery and its branches in the hilum region is of practical interest due to the various interventions on the vessels of the spleen. Materials and methods: The anatomy of the spleen was studied by means of macroscopic dissection on 330 organ complexes, which were carefully documented and analyzed statistically. Results: The analysis of the splenic artery trajectory led to identification of four types: straight (43.03%), sinusoidal (27.58%), serpentine (20.91%) and alternating (8.48%). To assess the relation between the trajectory of the splenic artery and its branches we performed a chi square test. Sinuous or serpentine trajectory was associated with the presence of long splenic artery branches (dorsal pancreatic artery or the great pancreatic artery), X2 (2, N = 330) = 12.85, p = 0.001. The artery was located suprapancreatic in 70.30% of cases, anteropancreatic in 4.55%, the vessel had an intrapancreatic course in 14.85% and in 10.00% of cases the artery was located retropancreatic. The presence of inferior polar arteries was associated with a longer pancreas (Spearman’s correlation; r = 0.37; p = 0.037). In a multiple regression analysis, inferior polar arteries predicted the length of the pancreas although only a small number of cases could be explained by this model (R2 = 0.127, Adjusted R2 = 0.098; Betta = 0.357; t(330) = 2.091; p = 0.045). There were 30 (9.09%) cases of accessory spleens. Conclusions: The arterial supply of the spleen is highly variable in its trajectory, terminal branches, and relation to other organs. The splenic artery tends to be sinuous or serpentine in zones when a large artery branches off (e.g., the dorsal pancreatic or greater pancreatic artery). Multiple short branches tend to stabilize the trajectory of the splenic artery. Inferior polar arteries and accessory spleens contribute to the length of the pancreas, most likely due to increased vascular supply to the tail of the gland

Salusin-α and salusin-β as new biological markers in cardiovascular diseases: literature review

Despite significant advances in medicine, cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. An important task in cardiology is the search and study of new cardiovascular biological markers. In recent years, salusins have attracted the interest of scientists. Salusins are endogenous biologically active peptides, which were first identified in 2003. Thus far, studies have demonstrated that salusin-α and salusin-β play important roles in vascular remodeling, inflammation, hypertension, and atherosclerotic processes. Salusin-α exhibits an antiatherogenic effect, whereas salusin-β plays a proatherogenic role. Despite the diverse biological, physiological, and pathophysiological aspects of salusins, the exact mechanism of their cardiovascular effects is not fully known. Further in-depth studies of the role of salusins in cardiovascular diseases are required. The regulation of the concentration and expression of salusin-α and salusin-β may prove to be a promising strategy for the treatment of patients with cardiac diseases
