Антибіотикопрофілактика в хірургії
Наук. кер.: М.Г. КононенкоГнійно-запальні післяопераційні ускладнення за останні десятиріччя набувають все більшої актуальності. Це вже стає проблемою. Такі ускладнення необхідно попереджувати. Для забезпечення тканин операційного поля антибіотиком у ефективній (бактерицидній) концентрації на весь період хірургічного втручання проводять антибіотикопрофілактику (АБП). Вона є складовою частиною комплексної профілактики гнійно-запальних ускладнень.

Emulation of scan paths in sequential circuit synthesis
Scan paths are generally added to a sequential circuit in a final design for testability step. We present an approach to incorporate the behavior of a scan path during circuit synthesis, thus avoiding to implement the scan path shift register as a separate structural entity. The shift transitions of the scan path are treated as a part of the system functionality. Depending on the minimization strategy for the system logic, either the delay or the area of the circuit can be reduced compared to a conventional scan path. which may be interpreted as a special case of realizing the combinational logic. The approach is also extended to partial scan paths. It is shown that the resulting structure is fully testable and test patterns can be efficiently produced by a combinational test generator. The advantages of the approach are illustrated with a collection of finite state machine examples

New trajectories of the Hungarian regional development: balanced and rush growth of territorial capital
The basic assumption of the paper is that numerous similarities exist between the patterns
of economic growth and territorial capital growth. The rush economic growth and rush
growth of territorial capital are compared empirically at Hungarian micro-regional level
from 2004 until 2010. After normalizing the dataset, a very novel spatial econometric
method is applied, called a penalty for bottleneck. The results show that the constant rush
growth of territorial capital is as harmful as economic recession. On the other hand, the
decrease of infrastructural and social capital caused the rush growth of territorial capital in
this period. Moreover, the key findings of two case studies suggest that the balanced growth
of territorial capital will be created by the falling social inequalities and increasing
infrastructural capita
The spatio-relational nature of urban innovation systems: Universities, knowledge intensive business service firms, and collaborative networks
The need to better identify the spatio-relational nature of urban innovation systems and spaces is increasingly acknowledged. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to provide an enhanced understanding of the knowledge networks existing between urban Knowledge Intensive Business Services firms (KIBS) and universities, which are often key components of such systems and spaces. Drawing on an analysis of urban KIBS firms and universities in the UK, it is found that the nature of firms, the location in which they are based, and the research intensity of their university partners are important determinants of the spatiality and localisation of the networks they form. The results show that the smallest urban KIBS firms have the highest propensity to engage in local links with universities, suggesting that they rely most significantly on their own urban innovation system for collaborative network ties.

Promotion of self-management in vulnerable older people: a narrative literature review of outcomes of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP)
With ageing, older people can become frail, and this has been shown to be associated with a decrease in well-being. Observational studies provide evidence of a positive effect of coping resources on well-being. The question is: can coping resources be improved in vulnerable older people? The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) is a target group-specific intervention which aims to promote the self-management of older people who are confronted with deteriorating health. The aim of this study was to review intervention studies focusing on the CDSMP and to draw conclusions on the benefits of the program. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and PsychINFO to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on the CDSMP. Nine RCTs focusing on relatively young older adults, 75% of whom with an average age between 49 and 65 years, were included. We found that the CDSMP was consistently beneficial for Health behaviour, especially with regard to the variables of exercise and self-care. For Health status, the majority of studies only showed improvement in the domain of health distress. Most of the studies that investigated Self-efficacy showed convincing improvement in self-efficacy, cognitive symptom management and mental stress management. In Health care utilization, there was no significant decrease. On the whole, the studies showed that CDSMP led to an increase in physical exercise, a decrease in health distress, an improvement in self-care, and it had a beneficial effect on self-efficacy
Age-related differences in valence and arousal ratings of pictures from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS): Do ratings become more extreme with age?
Bisphosphonates as antimyeloma drugs
In patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM), bisphosphonate (BP) treatment has been widely used to prevent bone loss and preserve skeletal health because of its proven effects on inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. In addition to their effects on osteoclasts, it is becoming increasingly evident that BPs may have additional effects on the bone microenvironment and cells other than osteoclasts that may potentially inhibit the development and progression of MM. This review focuses on the pathophysiology of MM with an emphasis on the events that drive MM progression within the bone and the mechanisms by which BPs may inhibit specific processes. The underlying molecular mechanisms that drive the modulation of cellular fate and function and consequent physiological outcomes are described. Direct effects on myeloma cell growth and survival and the interactions between myeloma cells and the bone microenvironment are discussed. Clinical evidence of the antimyeloma effects of BPs is emerging and is also reviewed
