Антикоагулянтная терапия при фибрилляции предсердий в реальной практике: проблемы и перспективы

In the review of the current literature urgent issues of treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation are analyzed, namely prevention of thrombosis and the use of anticoagulants therapy. The article describes the current possibilities of prevention thromboembolic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk. The fact of insufficient use of preventive antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation with high thrombotic risk is demonstrated, which is associated both with incomplete adherence of doctors to the implementation of clinical recommendations, and with low adherence of patients to receiving prescribed anticoagulants. The review of the literature discusses the difficulties of the use of oral anticoagulants, in particular direct action and their high financial burden, and anticoagulants indirect action and instability of their pharmacological effect. The article demonstrates the difficulties of warfarin therapy, such as insufficient adherence to treatment, genetic characteristics of the patient, alimentary and drug interactions. When discussing the issue of insufficient adherence, it is shown that the data on adherence to drug therapy are not homogeneous and do not fully take into account the influence of patient-dependent characteristics. The prospects of developing an individualized algorithm for choosing an anticoagulant for long-term administration for patients with atrial fibrillation from the position of a patient-oriented approach are separately discussed.В обзоре современной литературы анализируются актуальные проблемы лечения больных фибрилляцией предсердий, а именно тромбопрофилактика и применение антикоагулянтной терапии. В статье описываются современные возможности профилактики тромбоэмболических осложнений у больных фибрилляцией предсердий высокого риска. Демонстрируется факт недостаточного использования профилактической антитромботической терапии у пациентов при фибрилляции предсердий с высоким тромботическим риском, что связано как с неполным выполнением клинических рекомендаций врачом, так и с низкой приверженностью пациентов к приему назначенных антикоагулянтов. В обзоре литературы обсуждаются трудности применения оральных антикоагулянтов, в частности препаратов прямого действия и их высокое финансовое бремя, а также антикоагулянтов непрямого действия и нестабильность их фармакологического эффекта. В статье демонстрируются трудности терапии варфарином, такие как недостаточная приверженность лечению, генетические особенности пациента, алиментарные и лекарственные взаимодействия. Показано, что данные по приверженности к лекарственной терапии не отличаются однородностью и не в полной мере учитывают влияние пациентзависимых характеристик. Отдельно обсуждается разработка индивидуализированного алгоритма по выбору антикоагулянта для длительного применения у больных фибрилляцией предсердий с позиции пациентоориентированного подхода

Fast six-channel pyrometer for warm-dense-matter experiments with intense heavy-ion beams

This paper describes a fast multi-channel radiation pyrometer that was developed for warmdense-matter experiments with intense heavy ion beams at Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung mbH (GSI). The pyrometer is capable of measuring of brightness temperatures from 2000 K to 50000 K, at 6 wavelengths in visible and near-infrared parts of spectrum, with 5 nanosecond temporal resolution and several micrometers spatial resolution. The pyrometer's spectral discrimination technique is based on interference filters, which act as filters and mirrors to allow for simultaneous spectral discrimination of the same ray at multiple wavelengths

Постоянные белки мочи здорового человека в эксперименте с 520-суточной изоляцией

Purpose of the study was to track permanent proteins of urine proteome in the 520-day isolation experiment at the IBMP Ground-Based Test Facility with controlled environmental parameters. Object of the investigation was urine sampled from 6 normal male subjects at the age of 25 to 37 years. Second morning aliquots were gathered during baseline data collection, on days 50, 93, 124, 153, 180, 251, 274, 303, 330, 371, 400 and 427 of isolation, and in 7 days after its completion. Samples were subject to chromatography-mass spectrometry; results were analyzed with the help of bioinformatics resources. The following 7 permanent proteins were observed in urine over the entire length of the investigation: epidermal growth factor, polymer immunoglobulin receptor, plasma serine protease inhibitor, protein AMBP, keratin, type II cytoskeletal 1, collagen alpha-1 (vi) chain, serum albumin

The Deuteron Spin-dependent Structure Function g1d and its First Moment

We present a measurement of the deuteron spin-dependent structure function g1d based on the data collected by the COMPASS experiment at CERN during the years 2002-2004. The data provide an accurate evaluation for Gamma_1^d, the first moment of g1d(x), and for the matrix element of the singlet axial current, a0. The results of QCD fits in the next to leading order (NLO) on all g1 deep inelastic scattering data are also presented. They provide two solutions with the gluon spin distribution function Delta G positive or negative, which describe the data equally well. In both cases, at Q^2 = 3 (GeV/c)^2 the first moment of Delta G is found to be of the order of 0.2 - 0.3 in absolute value.Comment: fits redone using MRST2004 instead of MRSV1998 for G(x), correlation matrix adde

Photoproduction of D∗±D^{*\pm} mesons associated with a leading neutron

The photoproduction of $D^{*\pm} (2010)$ mesons associated with a leading neutron has been observed with the ZEUS detector in $ep$ collisions at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 80 pb$^{-1}$. The neutron carries a large fraction, {$x_L>0.2$}, of the incoming proton beam energy and is detected at very small production angles, {$\theta_n<0.8$ mrad}, an indication of peripheral scattering. The $D^*$ meson is centrally produced with pseudorapidity {$|\eta| 1.9$ GeV}, which is large compared to the average transverse momentum of the neutron of 0.22 GeV. The ratio of neutron-tagged to inclusive $D^*$ production is $8.85\pm 0.93({\rm stat.})^{+0.48}_{-0.61}({\rm syst.})\%$ in the photon-proton center-of-mass energy range {$130 <W<280$ GeV}. The data suggest that the presence of a hard scale enhances the fraction of events with a leading neutron in the final state.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figures, 2 table

Observation of hard scattering in photoproduction events with a large rapidity gap at HERA

Events with a large rapidity gap and total transverse energy greater than 5 GeV have been observed in quasi-real photoproduction at HERA with the ZEUS detector. The distribution of these events as a function of the $\gamma p$ centre of mass energy is consistent with diffractive scattering. For total transverse energies above 12 GeV, the hadronic final states show predominantly a two-jet structure with each jet having a transverse energy greater than 4 GeV. For the two-jet events, little energy flow is found outside the jets. This observation is consistent with the hard scattering of a quasi-real photon with a colourless object in the proton.Comment: 19 pages, latex, 4 figures appended as uuencoded fil

Measurement of the polarisation of W bosons produced with large transverse momentum in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment

This paper describes an analysis of the angular distribution of W->enu and W->munu decays, using data from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 35 pb^-1. Using the decay lepton transverse momentum and the missing transverse energy, the W decay angular distribution projected onto the transverse plane is obtained and analysed in terms of helicity fractions f0, fL and fR over two ranges of W transverse momentum (ptw): 35 < ptw < 50 GeV and ptw > 50 GeV. Good agreement is found with theoretical predictions. For ptw > 50 GeV, the values of f0 and fL-fR, averaged over charge and lepton flavour, are measured to be : f0 = 0.127 +/- 0.030 +/- 0.108 and fL-fR = 0.252 +/- 0.017 +/- 0.030, where the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second include all systematic effects.Comment: 19 pages plus author list (34 pages total), 9 figures, 11 tables, revised author list, matches European Journal of Physics C versio

Observation of a new chi_b state in radiative transitions to Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(2S) at ATLAS

The chi_b(nP) quarkonium states are produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb^-1, these states are reconstructed through their radiative decays to Upsilon(1S,2S) with Upsilon->mu+mu-. In addition to the mass peaks corresponding to the decay modes chi_b(1P,2P)->Upsilon(1S)gamma, a new structure centered at a mass of 10.530+/-0.005 (stat.)+/-0.009 (syst.) GeV is also observed, in both the Upsilon(1S)gamma and Upsilon(2S)gamma decay modes. This is interpreted as the chi_b(3P) system.Comment: 5 pages plus author list (18 pages total), 2 figures, 1 table, corrected author list, matches final version in Physical Review Letter
