Дифференциальный подход к лечению пациентов с первичной открытоугольной глаукомой

PURPOSE: To evaluate Prolatan effectiveness in groups of patients with risk of glaucoma progression. METHODS: We used Moriscos-Green/Blank clinical and psychological tests-scales of compliance to assess 190 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). We revealed 57 out of 190 POAG patients (30%) to be insufficiently committed to their treatment. Among them were 22 (38%) women and 35 (62%) men with mean age 64.4±2.5 years. 18 (32%) patients were diagnosed with glaucoma within the last month before admission, while 39 (68%) patients had progressive glaucoma. All patients underwent standard ophthalmic examination and additional Humphrey standard automated perimetry (threshold 30-2 strategy) at baseline and after 3 months. RESULTS: Statistically significant non-compliance factors were the following: age over 60, male gender, POAG duration from 3 to 10 years, comorbid pathology, regimens comprising a large number of drugs, mild glaucoma, cognitive impairment and financial difficulties, hindering the purchase of medicinal products. On the average, Prolatan decreased IOP level by 33%. By the end of the 3rd month our study revealed retinal light sensitivity increase in all sectors of the visual field from 0 to 30 degrees due to IOP stabilization. CONCLUSION: Prolatan increases adherence to treatment by the end of the 3rd month of follow-up, which is associated with a reduction in the number of instillations, no side effects after instillation, patients’ good health during the treatment course, reduction of treatment material costs. ЦЕЛЬ. Оценить эффективность препарата Пролатан в группах риска прогрессирования глаукомы. МЕТОДЫ. С помощью клинико-психологической тестовой методики — шкалы комплаентности Мориски – Грин проведена оценка комплаентности 190 пациентов с первичной открытоугольной глаукомой (ПОУГ). Из 190 обследованных пациентов с ПОУГ недостаточно приверженными лечению были 57 (30%) пациентов. Среди них было 22 (38%) женщины и 35 (62%) мужчин, средний возраст составил 64,4±2,5 года. Впервые выявленная глаукома в течение 1 месяца была у 18 (32%) пациентов, некомпенсированная глаукома — у 39 (68%) больных. Проводили стандартное офтальмологическое исследование, дополнительно — статическую компьютерную периметрию на компьютерном периметре Humphrey по пороговой стратегии 30-2 исходно и через 3 месяца. РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. Достоверными факторами нон-комплаенса у обследованных больных были: возраст старше 60 лет, мужской пол, длительность ПОУГ от 3 до 10 лет, наличие коморбидной патологии и большое количество лекарственных средств, которые вынужден применять пациент, начальная стадия глаукомы, наличие когнитивных нарушений, финансовые затруднения пациентов при приобретении лекарственных средств. Снижение внутриглазного давления (ВГД) в результате применения препарата Пролатан составило 33%. На фоне стабилизации ВГД к концу 3-го месяца выявлено увеличение показателей светочувствительности сетчатки по всем секторам поля зрения от 0 до 30°. ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. На фоне лечения препаратом Пролатан увеличивается приверженность лечению к концу 3-го месяца наблюдения, что связано со снижением количества инстилляций, отсутствием побочных эффектов после закапывания, хорошим самочувствием пациентов во время лечения, снижением материальных затрат на лечение.

Origins and genetic legacy of prehistoric dogs

Dogs were the first domestic animal, but little is known about their population history and to what extent it was linked to humans. We sequenced 27 ancient dog genomes and found that all dogs share a common ancestry distinct from present-day wolves, with limited gene flow from wolves since domestication but substantial dog-to-wolf gene flow. By 11,000 years ago, at least five major ancestry lineages had diversified, demonstrating a deep genetic history of dogs during the Paleolithic. Coanalysis with human genomes reveals aspects of dog population history that mirror humans, including Levant-related ancestry in Africa and early agricultural Europe. Other aspects differ, including the impacts of steppe pastoralist expansions in West and East Eurasia and a near-complete turnover of Neolithic European dog ancestry

Enhancing Electron Coherence via Quantum Phonon Confinement in Atomically Thin Nb3SiTe6

The extraordinary properties of two dimensional (2D) materials, such as the extremely high carrier mobility in graphene and the large direct band gaps in transition metal dichalcogenides MX2 (M = Mo or W, X = S, Se) monolayers, highlight the crucial role quantum confinement can have in producing a wide spectrum of technologically important electronic properties. Currently one of the highest priorities in the field is to search for new 2D crystalline systems with structural and electronic properties that can be exploited for device development. In this letter, we report on the unusual quantum transport properties of the 2D ternary transition metal chalcogenide - Nb3SiTe6. We show that the micaceous nature of Nb3SiTe6 allows it to be thinned down to one-unit-cell thick 2D crystals using microexfoliation technique. When the thickness of Nb3SiTe6 crystal is reduced below a few unit-cells thickness, we observed an unexpected, enhanced weak-antilocalization signature in magnetotransport. This finding provides solid evidence for the long-predicted suppression of electron-phonon interaction caused by the crossover of phonon spectrum from 3D to 2D.Comment: Accepted by Nature Physic

Past Arctic aliens have passed away, current ones may stay

Published version. Source at http://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-015-0937-9.Increased human activity and climate change are expected to increase the numbers and impact of alien species in the Arctic, but knowledge of alien species is poor in most Arctic regions. Through field investigations over the last 10 years, and review of alien vascular plant records for the high Arctic Archipelago Svalbard over the past 130 years, we explored long term trends in persistence and phenology. In total, 448 observations of 105 taxa have been recorded from 28 sites. Recent surveys at 18 of these sites revealed that alien species had disappeared at half of them. Investigations at a further 49 sites characterised by former human activity and/or current tourist landing sites did not reveal any alien species. Patterns of alien species distribution suggest that greater alien species richness is more likely to be aligned with ongoing human inhabitation than sites of transient use. The probability of an alien species being in a more advanced phenological stage increased with higher mean July temperatures. As higher mean July temperatures are positively correlated with more recent year, the latter finding suggests a clear warming effect on the increased reproductive potential of alien plants, and thus an increased potential for spread in Svalbard. Given that both human activity and temperatures are expected to increase in the future, there is need to respond in policy and action to reduce the potential for further alien species introduction and spread in the Arctic

The Eurasian Modern Pollen Database (EMPD), version 2

The Eurasian (née European) Modern Pollen Database (EMPD) was established in 2013 to provide a public database of high-quality modern pollen surface samples to help support studies of past climate, land cover, and land use using fossil pollen. The EMPD is part of, and complementary to, the European Pollen Database (EPD) which contains data on fossil pollen found in Late Quaternary sedimentary archives throughout the Eurasian region. The EPD is in turn part of the rapidly growing Neotoma database, which is now the primary home for global palaeoecological data. This paper describes version 2 of the EMPD in which the number of samples held in the database has been increased by 60 % from 4826 to 8134. Much of the improvement in data coverage has come from northern Asia, and the database has consequently been renamed the Eurasian Modern Pollen Database to reflect this geographical enlargement. The EMPD can be viewed online using a dedicated map-based viewer at https://empd2.github.io and downloaded in a variety of file formats at https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.909130 (Chevalier et al., 2019)Swiss National Science Foundation | Ref. 200021_16959
