Research of factors, which influence on diagnostic and treatment process of patients with lung cancer

Research of factors that influence the diagnostic and treatment process of patients with lung cancer. Objectives. To study the degree of confidence of lung cancer patients towards doctors of different specialties, determine the level and sources of their medical awareness

Connections between state of health and lung cancer

The main task of epidemiology of non-infectious diseases is to determine the connection between illness and state of health. The important thing is to find risk factors of the disease and develop effective plans of its prevention. The aim is to find various factors of lung cancer

Quantitative Colocalization Analysis of Multicolor Confocal Immunofluorescence Microscopy Images: Pushing Pixels to Explore Biological Phenomena

Quantitative colocalization analysis is an advanced digital imaging tool to examine antigens of interest in immunofluorescence images obtained using confocal microscopes. It employs specialized algorithms to estimate the degree of overlap of fluorescence signals and thus enables acquiring important new information not otherwise obtainable using qualitative approaches alone. As raw confocal images have high levels of background, they should be prepared to become suitable for reliable calculation of colocalization coefficients by correcting it. We provide concise theoretical basis of quantitative colocalization analysis, discuss its limitations, and describe proper use of the technique. The use of quantitative colocalization analysis is demonstrated by studying bile salt export pump and multidrug resistance associated protein 2 in the liver and major basic protein and platelet activating factor receptor antigens in conjunctiva. The review is focused on the applicability and correct interpretation of the results of colocalization coefficients calculations

Word Modification of the Nouns with the Old *-t-Stems in Western Polissyan and Neighboring Dialects

На матеріалі західнополіських і суміжних говірок проаналізовано флек- сійну систему іменників середнього роду, оформлених за зразком давнього консонантного типу на *-t-. Установлено, що специфіку формотворення цих субстантивів на діалектному ґрунті визначають інтенсивні процеси іннова- ційного характеру, зокрема граматична аналогія й дія типових для говірок фонетичних закономірностей
