    The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of overweight, obesity and fat distribution type on the severity of comorbid somatic pathology in men. Material and methods. 216 men, aged from 22 to 78 years, who were patients of therapeutic clinic from 2018 to 2019 years, were observed. Height, body weight, waist (WC) and hip (HC) circumference were measured using standard anthropometric procedures, and then WC/HC and body mass index (BMI) were calculated. Clinical signs of aging were estimated by using the AMS questionnaire. The CIRS was scored from the medical records after hospitalization. Results and discussion. It was shown that overweight and obesity increase the burden of cardiovascular, endocrine and general comorbidity in men. Nevertheless, the burden of cardiovascular pathology did not differ between overweight and obesity men. The contribution of fat distribution type in separate BMI-groups is different. The upper fat distribution type in normal body weight increases the burden of vascular pathology, in overweight – vascular pathology and endocrine system, in obesity – cardiovascular pathology, and general comorbidity in men. Conclusion. Thus, the BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 is associated with an increase burden of cardiovascular, endocrine and general comorbidity and upper fat distribution type increases the burden of vascular pathology in men

    The ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider: a description of the detector configuration for Run 3

    Abstract The ATLAS detector is installed in its experimental cavern at Point 1 of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. During Run 2 of the LHC, a luminosity of  ℒ = 2 × 1034 cm-2 s-1 was routinely achieved at the start of fills, twice the design luminosity. For Run 3, accelerator improvements, notably luminosity levelling, allow sustained running at an instantaneous luminosity of  ℒ = 2 × 1034 cm-2 s-1, with an average of up to 60 interactions per bunch crossing. The ATLAS detector has been upgraded to recover Run 1 single-lepton trigger thresholds while operating comfortably under Run 3 sustained pileup conditions. A fourth pixel layer 3.3 cm from the beam axis was added before Run 2 to improve vertex reconstruction and b-tagging performance. New Liquid Argon Calorimeter digital trigger electronics, with corresponding upgrades to the Trigger and Data Acquisition system, take advantage of a factor of 10 finer granularity to improve triggering on electrons, photons, taus, and hadronic signatures through increased pileup rejection. The inner muon endcap wheels were replaced by New Small Wheels with Micromegas and small-strip Thin Gap Chamber detectors, providing both precision tracking and Level-1 Muon trigger functionality. Trigger coverage of the inner barrel muon layer near one endcap region was augmented with modules integrating new thin-gap resistive plate chambers and smaller-diameter drift-tube chambers. Tile Calorimeter scintillation counters were added to improve electron energy resolution and background rejection. Upgrades to Minimum Bias Trigger Scintillators and Forward Detectors improve luminosity monitoring and enable total proton-proton cross section, diffractive physics, and heavy ion measurements. These upgrades are all compatible with operation in the much harsher environment anticipated after the High-Luminosity upgrade of the LHC and are the first steps towards preparing ATLAS for the High-Luminosity upgrade of the LHC. This paper describes the Run 3 configuration of the ATLAS detector.</jats:p
