Apelin-additional marker of insulin resistance

The purpose of the present study was to determine the correlations between the state of carbohydrate metabolism and concentrations of apelin in blood of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with different phenotype

Application of phosphocreatine in the treatment of a patient with acute myocardial infarction on the background of auxiliary circulation

The clinical case of maintaining the patient with a sharp transmural myocardial infarction front septal areas and tops of the left ventricle, the cardiogenic shock of the II degree and alveolar hypostasis of lungs are described. In the treatment of the patient auxiliary blood circulation in the form of installation of an intra aortal balloon counterpulsation in the descending department of an aorta was applie

Effect of antagonist mineralocorticoid receptors Eplerenon on the dynamics of QT interval dispersion in patients with acute elderly aged

Currently, there is an increase in the frequency of cardiovascular diseases, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), while in the Russian Federation due to ACS there is a high mortality rate from sudden cardiac death (SCD). The aim of the work is a comparative analysis of the effect of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) of eplerenone on the predictors of SCD development in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with a moderately abnormal ejection fraction(EF) of the left ventricle (LV) in the early stages of the diseas

Radiative corrections to deep-inelastic ed−ed- scattering. Case of tensor polarized deuteron

The model-independent radiative corrections to deep-inelastic scattering of unpolarized electron beam off the tensor polarized deuteron target have been considered. The contribution to the radiative corrections due to the hard-photon emission from the elastic electron-deuteron scattering (the so-called elastic radiative tail) is also investigated. The calculation is based on the covariant parametrization of the deuteron quadrupole polarization tensor. The numerical estimates of the radiative corrections to the polarization observables have been done for the kinematical conditions of the current experiment at HERAComment: 21 pages, 5 figure

The Standard Model Prediction of the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment

This article reviews and updates the Standard Model prediction of the muon g-2. QED, electroweak and hadronic contributions are presented, and open questions discussed. The theoretical prediction deviates from the present experimental value by 2-3 standard deviations, if e+e- annihilation data are used to evaluate the leading hadronic term.Comment: 30 pages, 8 figures. v2: Updated version to appear in J.Phys.G. Comments and references added, typo corrected in eq.(17

Influence of aldosterone antagonists on markers of electrophysiological instability in patients with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction after ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome in the short- and long-term periods

Aim. To compare the effect of long-term therapy with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MCRA) on markers of electrophysiological instability in patients with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) after ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (STE-ACS) with revascularization.Material and methods. We examined 60 patients with HFmrEF (LVEF=40-49%), who underwent STE-ACS with revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Depending on the MCRA agent taken, the patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 — eplerenone, group 2 — spironolactone. Electrocardiography (ECG) was carried out on the 1st, 30th days and 12 months after PCI.Results. Adjusted dispersion indices of the QT interval and its parts (QTcd, JTcd, QTapcd, SubTcd) were determined as markers of sudden cardiac death. In the acute period of the disease, they significantly exceeded the values of the control group: QTcd by 174,8% (p<3,2*10-5), JTcd by 5,8 times (p<0,005), SubTcd by 5,1 times (p<0,005). QTapcd was reduced by 55,2% (p<4,3*10-5). Comparative analysis of the effect of studied drugs on markers of electrical instability over 12-month follow-up determined that eplerenone had a more significant effect, reducing the QTcd by 2 times (p<2,7*10-5), bringing the QTapcd closer to the norm (p<0,002), reducing JTcd by 95,5% (p<2,7*10-5), and decreasing the SubTcd by 5,4 times (p<1,7*10-5).Conclusion. Eplerenone is the drug of choice for reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with HFmrEF who underwent STE-ACS during revascularization by PCI, both in the short- and long-term periods of the disease

Vehicle-related crime and the gender gap

Although vehicle-related offending and traffic offenders are of interest to some behavioural psychologists, criminologists have been less enthused and their concern has been largely restricted to crime to vehicles rather than crime by drivers or wider society. Both disciplines have, however, largely ignored the contribution of women to vehicle-related offending statistics, mirroring the pattern seen in regard to mainstream offending. This paper attempts to plug the gap by considering the relative contributions of men and women to motoring conviction data and self-report offending studies. To some extent it also does this by age, where evidence for a ‘ladette’ style of driving among young women is examined from the conviction data. In general, a gender gap similar to that in mainstream crime is noted, and key theoretical explanations that could account for this are assembled. Implications for improving road safety and research are then considered given this gap and emerging support for the non-homogeneity of female driving styles
