After I proposed a simple clinical method for determining the functional ability of the kidneys, I was repeatedly asked the question - how to reconcile the data I obtained with the pathological and anatomical data, or how to build a bridge between them and, say, the classification of Vоlhard and Fаhr? !

ABSTRACTthe purpose of this classification of facial aging is to have a simple clinical method to determine the severity of the aging process in the face. this allows a quick estimate as to the types of procedures that the patient would need to have the best results. procedures that are presently used for facial rejuvenation include laser, chemical peels, suture lifts, fillers, modified facelift and full facelift. the physician is already using his best judgment to determine which procedure would be best for any particular patient. this classification may help to refine these decisions.

Abstract. Talebi SM, Sheidai M, Ariyanejad F, Matsyura A. 2019. Stem anatomical study of some Iranian Marrubium L. species. Biodiversitas 20: 2589-2595. Marrubium is one of problematic genera of Lamiaceae family which distributed in different parts of Iran with 11 species. These species have been used in folk medicine for treatment of different disorders. In the present study, we used stem anatomical characteristics of six Marrubium species for taxonomical treatment of the genus and delimitation of these species. Based on the geographical distribution, one to three populations were selected from each species. Stem hand transverses were double-stained and studied using Light Microscopy. In total, sixteen qualitative and quantitative anatomical traits were studied. Anatomical data were analyzed using MVSP and SPSS software. Stems in transverse section were quadrangle, with a continuous ring of vascular tissue. The anatomical characteristics varied among the species, while the ANOVA test revealed significant variations for some of them. The studied species and their populations were divided into two groups in the UPGMA dendrogram of anatomical data. Populations of each species did not cluster together and were scattered in these groups, except those for M. cuneatum, which were clustered in only one group. Furthermore, these groups were clearly observed in PCA plot. According to CA-joined plot, each group or population had distinct anatomical feature (s) which was useful in identification of them. In some cases, the clustering pattern agreed with previous molecular and morphological studies, while in several times populations clustering did not agree with traditional classification of species as Flora of Iran and Flora Iranica. It seems that some infraspecific ranks must be redefined.

The Australian acacias have been examined in considerable detail, via extensive morphological and anatomical observation and numerical analyses involving 171 species. This work has provided further evidence of the need -to divide Australian Acacia taxonomically into two main series, associating the bipinnate-leaved Botryocephalae closely with the uninerved phyllodinous species and separating them from the Pulchellae. It has also made available a large body of morphological and anatomical data, suitable for generating special purpose keys and potentially useful for other purposes.

Two samples of Canadian federal female offender case files are used to develop and test a gender-informed security reclassification scale. Study 1 uses 285 consecutive offender security level (OSL) reviews for federally sentenced women to empirically construct the Security Reclassification Scale for Women (SRSW). Study 2 uses all federal female OSL reviews that occurred between July 2000 and June 2003 ( n = 580) to test the validity and reliability of the SRSW. Results suggest that the SRSW is a reliable and valid tool for the security classification of federally sentenced women in Canada. Relative to the current classification method, the SRSW places fewer cases at maximum security and more cases at minimum security. Within a fixed 3-month follow-up, the SRSW is significantly more predictive of minor institutional misconduct than the structured clinical method currently in use. Results are discussed in terms of both theoretical and operational implications.

A previously published phylogenetic systematic analysis of the major groups of parasitic platyhelminths was based on 39 anatomical characters. The resulting phylogenetic tree had a consistency index, which indicates the degree of fit of the data to the tree hypothesis, of 95% due to two postulated cases of convergence. That tree is evaluated in light of 49 additional anatomical characters and 32 ultrastructural characters. The additional anatomical characters support the original hypothesis with a consistency index of 100%, indicating no additional convergence in the data. The total anatomical database has a consistency index of 97.8%. The ultrastructural characters provide a best fit to a phylogenetic tree of 94.1 %, due to two postulated cases of convergent evolution. That tree is the same as the one supported by the anatomical data. The combined database thus comprises 120 characters having a consistency index of 96.7%, due to four postulated cases of convergent evolution. A classification of the major groups of parasitic platyhelminths is proposed, and represents a compromise between two earlier proposed schemes.

Результаты многочисленных исследований, проведенных в последние десятилетия, показали, что наибольшее значение в определении риска развития заболеваний и смерти на индивидуальном уровне имеет накопление висцеральной жировой ткани, сопряженное с развитием метаболических нарушений и местным влиянием при ее накоплении во внутренних органах. Биоимпедансный анализ служит простым и доступным в широкой клинической практике способом определения избыточного содержания висцеральной жировой ткани, позволяя тем самым выявлять пациентов с ожирением и высоким риском развития сердечно-сосудистых осложнений даже в рамках первой встречи с врачом. Результаты определения висцеральной жировой ткани с помощью биоимпедансного анализа сопоставимы с данными, полученными при КТ и МРТ. По нашим наблюдениям, проведенным на 154 больных с различными сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями, содержание висцеральной жировой ткани, составляющее 14% и более по данным биоимпедансного анализа, сочеталось с нарушениями, характерными для метаболического синдрома. При этом нарастание индекса массы тела от 1-й до 3-й степени никак не отражало степень тяжести метаболических нарушений. Достоверных отличий по содержанию висцеральной жировой ткани и уровням содержания в крови триглицеридов, глюкозы и липопротеинов высокой плотности у больных с разными степенями ожирения также выявлено не было. На сегодняшний день очевидно, что ожирение, определяемое с помощью индекса массы тела, является очень гетерогенным и его отрицательная роль в развитии заболеваний выявляется только при наблюдении за очень большими группами населения. Данные исследований о значении висцеральной жировой ткани и ее связи с факторами риска развития сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний свидетельствуют о необходимости создания новой классификации ожирения. Проект для ее обсуждения приводится в нашей статье. The results of numerous studies conducted over the past decades have shown that the greatest importance in determining the risk of disease and death at the individual level is the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue, associated with the development of metabolic disorders and local influence when it accumulates in the internal organs. Bioimpedance analysis is a simple and widely available clinical method for determining the excess content of visceral adipose tissue, thereby allowing you to identify patients with obesity and a high risk of developing cardiovascular complications, even in the first meeting with a doctor. The results of the determination of visceral adipose tissue by bioimpedance analysis are comparable with the data obtained by CT and MRI. According to our observations conducted on 154 patients with various cardiovascular diseases, the content of visceral adipose tissue , which is 14% or more according to bioimpedance analysis, was combined with disorders characteristic of the metabolic syndrome. At the same time, the increase in BMI from the 1st to the 3rd degree did not reflect the severity of metabolic disorders. There were no significant differences in the content of visceral adipose tissue and blood levels of triglycerides, glucose, and HDL-C in patients with different degrees of obesity. To date, it is obvious that obesity, determined by BMI, is very heterogeneous and its negative role in the development of diseases is revealed only when observing very large groups of the population. Research data on the importance of visceral adipose tissue and its association with risk factors for cardiovascular disease suggest the need for a new classification of obesity. We present a draft for discussing the new classification of obesity in our article.
