INFLUENCE CHRONICKIDNEYDISEASEPROGRESSES TO QUALITYOFLIFE

Aim. To determine the characteristics of quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD ) II–Vst. Methods. 171 patients with CKD II–IVst, except for routine clinical and laboratory examinations, have been studied the quality of life (QOL) using a questionnaire assessing quality of life SF– 36. Results. It was found most of the QOL was significantly worse with the progression of CKD. Total QOL indicators and indicator “effect of kidney disease”. most significantly reduced. Correlation most QOL with age, hemoglobin, blood pressure levels was revealed. Conclusions. QOL decrease with the progression of CKD. Age, hemoglobin level, blood pressure affect QOL

ICRF Plasma Production with the W7-X Like Antenna in the Uragan-2M Stellarator

The results of the plasma start-up with ICRH of U-2M RF discharges in H2+He mixture with newly implemented controlled gas H2 concentration are presented. The W7-X like ICRH antenna operated in monopole phasing with applied RF power of ∼ 100 kW. We investigated plasma start-up in the pressure range p = 6×10−4 - 9×10−2 Pa. Plasma production with an average density of up to Ne ∼ 1013 cm−3 was observed at frequencies the fundamental harmonic of the hydrogen cyclotron frequency
