Physicochemical and adsorption properties of some carbon materials in aqueous solutions

Water dispersions of carbon adsorbents-nanodiamonds of UD-DP and UD-HP-DP types, nanodiamond charge of UDB-A type, C-60 fullerene, nanotubes, and activated carbon-were studied. Some physicochemical properties of their surface (acidity and electrokinetic characteristics) were investigated, and the surface values of pK(a1) were calculated. The data on adsorption of iodine, malic acid, and cationic dyes onto these adsorbents from aqueous and 1 mol/L NaCl solutions were discussed and compared. The dyeadsorption data and the values of the zeta potential and suspension effect indicated a negatively charged surface of UDA-SP nanodiamond within a pH adsorption range from 5.5 to 8.0

Сlinical and psychopathological changes in adolescents with tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is one of the leading infectious diseases in Russia. Adolescence is one of the critical periods in the formation of personality, when the dysregulatory tendencies and high risk of tuberculosis infection were vividly manifested. Therefore, at this age that the mutual influence of the original mentality on the development of tuberculosis and the impact of tuberculosis on the mental state of adolescents is most clearly traced can be found.В России туберкулез занимает одно из ведущих мест среди инфекционных заболеваний. Подростковый возраст является одним из критических периодов в становлении личности, когда наиболее ярко проявляются дизрегуляторные тенденции и высок риск развития туберкулезной инфекции. Поэтому именно в этом возрасте наиболее явно прослеживается взаимное влияние изначального склада психики на развитие туберкулеза и воздействие туберкулеза на психическое состояние подростков
