Relevance. Characteristics of eruption of secondary teeth is of diagnostic and prognostic interest, is the basis for implementation of targeted therapeutic and preventive measures among children. No research has ever been carried out in Uzbekistan to study an age and gender regional features of secondary teeth eruption. The aim is to determine the timing and symmetry of secondary teeth eruption in children of the city of Tashkent of the Republic of Uzbekistan and comparative assessment with the children of different cities of Russia.Materials and methods. 3,834 children between 3 and 17 years were conducted dental examination. A comparative analysis was made of the initial, intermediate and final periods of eruption of secondary teeth for children of Uzbekistan (Tashkent city) and Russia (Saratov, Izhevsk and Sergach).Results. In Tashkent children of both gender, in most cases, lower teeth were erupted before than their antagonists. In girls, teeth were erupted earlier than their male counterparts. At the initial stage of eruption, asymmetry was more pronounced in boys than in girls, while in the middle and final stages it was more pronounced in the opposite direction. Observed asymmetry of antimere’s teeth were indicated left-handed permanent dentition in boys and right-handed in girls. Children of Tashkent city were observed permanent dentition in one group of teeth 1-16 months earlier, and in others – 1-24 months later than their peers in Russian cities. Revealed differences were more pronounced among boys than among girls. Children in Tashkent differed more from their peers in Sergach and less from those in Izhevsk. Conclusions. Regional peculiarities of permanent dentition in children of Tashkent city and revealed expressed differences with indicators of Russian children are the basis for development of separate age and  gender normative assessment permanent dentition tables for children of Uzbekistan.

IntroductionAttention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects up to 5% of the school-aged children and adolescents, and to up 3% of the adults. The condition is dramatically more frequent in parents of affected children (about 30% of prevalence), therefore crediting the genetic transmission of the disorder.ObjectivesOur study was designed to increase the awareness of the disorder among teachers and parents, and to collect data for validating available rating scales for the French general population.AimsTo include up to 200 children for each year of age ranging for 5 to 18, and to collect data about their behaviour at school (rated by teachers) and at home (rated by parents). Additionally, questionnaires were filled out by the parents to rate their own symptoms. Comorbidity and related disorders were also a concern.MethodsA sample of schools was randomly selected in the city of Nice (France) and up to 4 children were randomly selected in each class. The children were included only after they and their parents gave their informed consent. Teachers rated the child behaviour on a secured website. Paper questionnaires were scanned for optical recognition.ResultsIn three months, 715 children were included and 847 parents returned their questionnaires. Preliminary analyses show that ADHD rating scales can be accurately scored by teachers and parents. References intervals need to be computed with regard of age and gender, for both children and adults.ConclusionsThe ChiP-ARD study will be reconducted in 2010-2011 to reach our original objective of 2600 children.

Исследования проведены в Республике Хакасия. Проанализированы изменения некоторых гематологических и биохимических параметров крови у разных половозрастных групп крупного рогатого скота герефордской породы весной, летом, осенью и зимой. Анализ крови здоровых особей показал, что в различные периоды года отмечались колебания изучаемых показателей, что может являться следствием дефицита в организме углеводного, минерально-витаминного и белкового обменов. Количество лимфоцитов в крови у коров, быков-производителей и нетелей в зимний период были ниже физиологической нормы. В осенний период этот показатель так и не приблизился к установленной норме у коров и составил 1,7×109/л, что можно объяснить погрешностями в кормлении высокопродуктивных животных и более слабыми окислительно-восстановительными процессами в их организме. Пониженное число эритроцитов в крови в зимний период у коров, быков-производителей и нетелей, кроме бычков до года, может быть также обусловлено неполноценным кормлением. Морфологический состав крови у животных различных половозрастных групп в основном находился в пределах физиологических значений и свидетельствовал о том, что они были здоровы. Уменьшение в сыворотке крови общего белка, по сравнению с физиологической нормой, в весенний период происходило у коров на 32,8%, нетелей — на 30,8%, у бычков до года — на 39,7%, а у быков-производителей летом на 36,9%, что также можно объяснить недостатком протеина в кормах и рационах. В осенний период данный показатель у всех групп приблизился к физиологической норме. The research was carried out in the Republic of Khakassia. The changes of certain hematological and biochemical blood values in various age and gender groups of cattle belonging to Hereford breed were analyzed in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The analysis of blood from healthy animals showed the presence of fluctuations in the studied values during various periods of the year, which can be a consequence of a deficiency of carbohydrate, mineral and vitamin, as well as protein metabolism in the bodies. The number of white blood cells in the blood of cows, seed bulls, and heifers was lower than the physiological norm. During the autumn period this value in cows did not get close to the set norm and amounted to 1.7x109/L which can be explained by the errors of feeding highly-productive animals, as well as weaker redox processes in their organisms. Decreased number of red blood cells in cows, seed bulls, and heifers, except for bulls younger than one year of age, can be also caused by inadequate feeding. The morphological composition of blood of animals belonging to various age and gender groups was generally within the physiological values and showed that they were healthy. The decrease of total protein in blood serum compared to the physiological norm during the spring period was seen in cows by 32.8%, heifers — by 30.8%, bulls younger than one year of age — 39.7%, and in seed bulls during the summer, by 36.9%, which can also be explained by the lack of protein in the feed and diet. During the autumn period this value was closer to the physiological norm in all groups.

Abstract Background In populations above 3,000 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.) normal values of oxygen saturation (SpO2) above 90% have been reported. Few studies have been conducted in cities of moderate altitude (between 2,500 and 3,000 m a.s.l). We set out to describe the range of SpO2 values measured with a pulse oximeter in healthy children between 1 month and 12 years of age living in an Ecuadorian Andean city. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in Quito, Ecuador, located at 2,810 m a.s.l. SpO2 measurement in healthy children of ages ranging from 1 month to 12 years of age residents in the city were recorded by pulse oximetry. Age and gender were recorded, and median and 2.5th and 5th percentile were drawn. Non parametric tests were used to compare differences in SpO2 values by age and gender. Results 1,378 healthy children were included for the study, 719 (52.2%) males. The median SpO2 for the entire population was 94.5%. No differences were observed between SpO2 median values by age and gender. The 2.5th percentile for global SpO2 measurements was 90%, in children under 5 years of age was 91% and it was 90% in children older than 7. Conclusions Our results provide SpO2 values for healthy children from 1 to 12 years old residents in Quito, a city of moderate altitude. The SpO2 percentile curve could contribute as a healthy range for the clinical evaluation of children residing at this altitude.

Until 1968, burglary was defined both legally and culturally as an extraordinary form of theft occurring between the ‘night-time’ hours of nine p.m. and six a.m., entwining the crime with visions of a shadowy, nightmarish nocturnal cityscape. Juxtaposing the horror of victims with the glamorous, sexy breed of ‘gentleman’ burglar gracing international cinema screens in phenomenally successful films such as Raffles (1939), the Introduction explores the vastly contradictory responses to the crime during the period 1860 and 1968. Encompassing not only fear-mongering accounts of the crime, but also those designed to excite, to challenge preconceptions, and to entertain, it maps out how these conflicting versions of burglary and burglars articulated broader social, political, and economic concerns. These included: the advent of mass literacy and growing demand for stories of crime that reflected the concerns of an audience of diverse class, age, and gender; the commercial imperatives of the insurance and entertainment industries as the middle classes expanded, including the development of household insurance and the popularity of the ‘true crime’ genre; the backlash against the evolving women’s movement and its alignment with new forms of criminality; and the evolution of new modes of policing and regulation, particularly forensic science. Following social surveyor Charles Booth’s observation that burglary was London’s ‘most characteristic crime’ in the early 1900s, the Introduction examines how the metropolis became peculiarly identified with burglars’ most daring exploits—and how the city itself was transformed by its association with the crime.

The article provides an analysis of monitoring of post-vaccination immunity against foot and mouth disease, stratified by age and gender groups. Evaluation of induced immunity broken down by age and gender groups is the main element of post-vaccination monitoring, which allows not only to assess the quality of vaccination, but also to determine the timing for achieving the necessary immunity among vaccinated animals.

After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding region in 2005, the city debated whether to press on with Mardi Gras or cancel the parades. Ultimately, they decided to proceed. New Orleans’s recovery certainly has resulted from a complex of factors, but the city’s unique cultural life—perhaps its greatest capital—has been instrumental in bringing the city back from the brink of extinction. Voicing a civic fervor, local writer Chris Rose spoke for the importance of Carnival when he argued to carry on with the celebration of Mardi Gras following Katrina: “We are still New Orleans. We are the soul of America. We embody the triumph of the human spirit. Hell. We ARE Mardi Gras”. Since 2006, a number of new Mardi Gras practices have gained prominence. The new parade organizations or krewes, as they are called, interpret and revise the city’s Carnival traditions but bring innovative practices to Mardi Gras. The history of each parade reveals the convergence of race, class, age, and gender dynamics in these new Carnival organizations. Downtown Mardi Gras: New Carnival Practices in Post-Katrina New Orleans examines six unique, offbeat, Downtown celebrations. Using ethnography, folklore, cultural, and performance studies, the authors analyze new Mardi Gras’s connection to traditional Mardi Gras. The narrative of each krewe’s development is fascinating and unique, illustrating participants’ shared desire to contribute to New Orleans’s rich and vibrant culture.
