We have studied the effects of normal aging on visual attention. Have participated a group of 38 healthy elderly people with an average age of 67.8 years and a group of 39 healthy young people with average age of 19.2 years. In a first experiment of visual detection, response times were recorded, with and without covert attention, to the presentation of stimuli (0.5º in diameter grey circles) appearing in three eccentricities (2.15, 3.83 and 5.53° of visual field) and with three levels of contrast (6, 16 and 78%). In a second experiment of visual form discrimination circles and squares with the same features as in the previous experiment were presented, but in this case subjects only should respond to the emergence of the circles. In both age groups, the covert attention reduced response times. Compared to young people, the older group achieved better results in some aspects of attention tests and response times were reduced more in the stimuli of greater eccentricity. The data suggest that there is a mechanism of adaptation in aging, in which visual attention especially favors the perception of those stimuli more difficult to detec

Based on the experience gained with a single clinical observation, the author concludes that the sudden death of healthy young people during swimming is in some cases due to shock caused by the absorption of toxic amounts of H-substants (histamine), which are released in the overly sensitive skin due to cooling.

Aim: To test the validity of Borg’s 6–20 rating of perceived exertion scale in assessing the exertion intensity over a multi-activity session in young and older adults.Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included 56 healthy participants. All participants underwent a single session of activities including working on a computer, treadmill walking, biking, and treadmill running. Results: Results showed a non-significant correlation between the overall perceived exertion and energy expenditure in young people (Rho=−0.05, p=0.75) and in older adults (Rho=−0.05, p=0.78) for the whole session. However, results showed that older adults perceived significantly higher exertion compared to young people while working on a computer, walking and running, whereas they presented lower energy expenditure while resting and working on a computer. Conclusions: Combining the perceived exertion method with other commonly used methods to estimate exercise intensity would be recommended for older adults.

Background Tobacco cigarettes (TCs) increase oxidative stress and inflammation, both instigators of atherosclerotic cardiac disease. It is unknown if electronic cigarettes (ECs) also increase immune cell oxidative stress. We hypothesized an ordered, “dose‐response” relationship, with tobacco‐product type as “dose” (lowest in nonsmokers, intermediate in EC vapers, and highest in TC smokers), and the “response” being cellular oxidative stress (COS) in immune cell subtypes, in otherwise, healthy young people. Methods and Results Using flow cytometry and fluorescent probes, COS was determined in immune cell subtypes in 33 otherwise healthy young people: nonsmokers (n=12), EC vapers (n=12), and TC smokers (n=9). Study groups had similar baseline characteristics, including age, sex, race, and education level. A dose‐response increase in proinflammatory monocytes and lymphocytes, and their COS content among the 3 study groups was found: lowest in nonsmokers, intermediate in EC vapers, and highest in TC smokers. These findings were most striking in CD14 dim CD16 + and CD14 ++ CD16 + proinflammatory monocytes and were reproduced with 2 independent fluorescent probes of COS. Conclusions These findings portend the development of premature cardiovascular disease in otherwise healthy young people who chronically vape ECs. On the other hand, that the COS is lower in EC vapers compared with TC smokers warrants additional investigation to determine if switching to ECs may form part of a harm‐reduction strategy.

На сегодняшний день важной задачей образования является воспитание психологически здорового поколения молодых людей с развитой психологической культурой. Цель статьи – выявление наличия взаимосвязи между психологическим здоровьем и психологической культурой студентов вуза. Авторами статьи сформулирована следующая гипотеза: между психологическим здоровьем и психологической культурой студентов вуза существуетвзаимосвязь. В статье проанализированы сущность понятий «психологическое здоровье», «психологическая культура» с позиций разных авторов, рассмотрены показатели психологического здоровья, критерии развития психологической культуры. Результаты исследования авторов показывают, что между психологическим здоровьем и психологической культурой студентов существует взаимосвязь. Полученные результаты позволяют сделать следующее заключение: развивая культуру студентов, общество получает психологически здоровых молодых людей, которые в свою очередь будут ориентированы на сохранение и дальнейшее развитие культуры общества. Today, an important task of education is the upbringing of a psychologically healthy generation of young people with a developed psychological culture. The purpose of the article is to identify the relationship between psychological health and psychological culture of university students. The authors of the article formulated the following hypothesis: there is a relationship between psychological health and psychological culture of university students. The article analyzes the essence of the concepts of "psychological health", "psychological culture" from the positions of different authors, considers indicators of psychological health, criteria for the development of psychological culture. The results of the authors' research show that there is a relationship between psychological health and psychological culture of students. The results obtained allow us to draw the following conclusion: by developing the culture of students, society receives psychologically healthy young people, who in turn will be focused on the preservation and further development of the culture of society.
