Практикум по педиатрии: учебное пособие для студентов 5-го курса

Practicum in Pediatrics includes 132 clinical cases of diseases of newborns, infants and older children. In the cases, there are discharge reports from the medical records of real patients with common diseases in pediatric practice (perinatal and neonatal diseases, deficiency conditions, anemia, as well as diseases of lungs, heart, joints, gastrointestinal tract, kidney and allergy). After discharge reports, there are questions and at the end of each section – diagnostic keys. The method of case studies refers to a non-gaming simulation methods of interactive learning and allows to apply theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems, trains making the right decisions in particular situations. Cases are designed to discuss them at classroom practice sessions, for self-study and for control of knowledge at the exam. The manual is aimed at students, residents, graduate students, pediatricians. Prepared by the Department of Pediatrics, Medical Faculty of Peoples' Friendship University of Russia

The Structural and Functional State of Soil Microbiota in a Chemically Polluted Environment

The structural and functional diversity of the main ecological trophic groups of soil microorganisms in meadow soils of the Central Urals anthropogenically contaminated with heavy metals was studied. The increase in the total numbers of these microorganisms in technozems, in comparison with those in agrozems, is due to the higher abundance of iron-reducing, denitrifying, nitrogen-fixing, and sulfate-reducing bacteria, an increase in cellulolytic activity, and the dependence of these characteristics on the toxic load of the soil. A reductive structure of the microbial community with the predominance of r-strategists, which reflects earlier stages of microbiocenoses succession under soil contamination, is formed under soil pollution with heavy metals. © 2017, Pleiades Publishing, Inc.Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences: 12-I-4-2051ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work was supported by the Government of Sverdlovsk oblast, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project no. 13-04-96056-r_ural_a), and a Program of the Presidium of the Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (project no. 12-I-4-2051)
