Peculiarities in plant communities’ formation in crop plantings in the south-eastern part of the Central Russian Upland

The article describes a study of plant communities of the south-western part of the Central Russian Upland that form in batches of various crops. Field studies employed the methods of reconnaissance floristic survey. Species diversity of the plant complexes and plant communities were studied with the morphological-ecological-geographical metho

Return to training after coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19) infection

The coronavirus pandemic raises an important issue of the return professional and amateur athletes to training after COVID-19 infection. Since no standard protocols for return to sports after the new coronavirus infection are approved to date, and few studies were done on SARS-CoV-2 infection short- and long-term complications in sports professionals, the question arises about the criteria for the athletes’ training restart after COVID-19 infection to protect the health of athletes and prevent long-term adverse health effects. This review is a synthesis of currently available information on the athletes’ re-involvement into the training process after COVID-19 infection

Interrelation of social and psychological adaptation and tendency to deviant behavior of students

© Canadian Center of Science and Education. The tendency to deviant behavior of students is a negatively affecting factor to the success of their socialization. Its actualization can lead to serious consequences, and become the reason of personality degradation even its death. Some reasons of the tendency to deviant behavior are violations of social and psychological adaptation. The interrelation of positive and negative factors of social and psychological adaptation with the tendency to various forms of deviant behavior is studied in this research. It is established that students' positive elements of social and psychological adaptation, such as high adaptation, self-acceptance and acceptance of others, internal control negatively effect on possibilities of the tendency development to various forms of deviant behavior. As for negative elements of social and psychological adaptation, such as disadaptation, self-unacceptance and unacceptance of others, emotional discomfort, external control and escapism can lead to strengthening of the tendency to deviant behavior. Positive and negative elements of social and psychological adaptation on the tendency to deviant behavior of students-boys are much lower than that of students-girls

"Flora of Russia" on iNaturalist: a dataset

The "Flora of Russia" project on iNaturalist brought together professional scientists and amateur naturalists from all over the country. Over 10,000 people were involved in the data collection. Within 20 months, the participants accumulated 750,143 photo observations of 6,857 species of the Russian flora. This constitutes the largest dataset of open spatial data on the country’s biodiversity and a leading source of data on the current state of the national flor

Влияние ферментозаместительной терапии на обструкцию верхних дыхательных путей у детей с мукополисахаридозами: ретроспективное когортное исследование

Background. Data on the efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in relation to the pathology of ENT organs and respiratory performance in sleep in children with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is poorly presented in the literature. Our aim was to assess the effect of ERT on the upper respiratory tract in children with MPS. Methods. According to the case histories, we studied treatment results of children with MPS type I and II who received ERT in the Research Center of Children’s Health from January 2007 to November 2016. The severity of upper airway obstruction and its change during ERT was assessed according to indices of apnea-hypopnea and desaturation (SpO2), average/minimal SpO2, duration of SpO2 episodes < 90%, and hypertrophy degree of palatine tonsils and adenoids. Results. The severity of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome did not progress in children (n = 15) with MPS against the background of ERT with a median duration of 38 (23; 48) months: initially, the apnea-hypopnea index was 3 (1.3; 7.7), while the repeated study — 2.6 (0.9; 13.5) (p = 0.507). There was also no statistically significant change in cardiorespiratory monitoring values. Conclusion. Long-term ERT in children with MPS type I and II interferes with the progression of airway obstruction.Обоснование. Данные об эффективности ферментозаместительной терапии (ФЗТ) в отношении патологии ЛОР- органов и показателей дыхания во сне у детей с мукополисахаридозом (МПС) в литературе представлены скудно.Цель исследования — оценить влияние ФЗТ на состояние верхних дыхательных путей у детей с МПС.Методы. По историям болезни изучали результаты лечения детей с МПС I и II типов, получавших ФЗТ в Научном центре здоровья детей (ныне ФГАУ «НМИЦ здоровья детей» Минздрава России) с января 2007 по ноябрь 2016 г. Выраженность обструкции верхних дыхательных путей и ее изменение на фоне ФЗТ оценивали по индексам апноэ-гипопноэ и десатурации (SpO2), средней/минимальной SpO2, продолжительности эпизодов SpO2< 90% и степени гипертрофии небных миндалин и аденоидов.Результаты. У детей (n=15) с МПС на фоне ФЗТ продолжительностью (медиана) 38 (23; 48) мес тяжесть синдрома обструктивного апноэ сна не прогрессировала: исходно индекс апноэ-гипопноэ составил 3 (1,3; 7,7), при повторном исследовании — 2,6 (0,9; 13,5) (р=0,507). Также не установлено статистически значимого изменения показателей кардиореспираторного мониторинга.Заключение. Длительная ФЗТ у детей с МПС I и II типов препятствует прогрессированию обструкции дыхательных путей.КОНФЛИКТ ИНТЕРЕСОВ Л.С.
