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.

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.

Abstract Background Sweden has contributed to the understanding of the long-term prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI) utilising the quality registry SWEDEHEART, including patients admitted to heart intensive care, and the National Patient Registry (PAR), based on administrative records for Swedish hospitals. As registration procedures differ between the registries, and not all MI patients are admitted to heart intensive care, MI patients identified in SWEDEHEART and PAR, respectively, will yield different cohorts of patients. This may result in different epidemiological research findings regarding prognosis after MI. Purpose To study MI populations identified in SWEDEHEART and PAR, respectively, and investigate potential differences in mortality outcome. Methods Patients hospitalised with an MI primary diagnosis (ICD-10 I21) between 2002 and 2015 were identified using SWEDEHEART and PAR. The analysis time started at the date of hospital admission and survivors were followed for 365 days. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate survival by cohort category controlling for age and gender. Results Excluding cases with invalid data (n=1,905), 225,612 and 282,118 SWEDEHEART and PAR patients, respectively, were identified. We found 213,367 patients in both SWEDEHEART and PAR, whereas 12,245 and 68,751 patients were unique to SWEDEHEART and PAR, respectively. The one-year survival probability after MI in the SWEDEHEART population was 0.841, compared to 0.788 in PAR (Figure). This discrepancy can be explained by high mortality among patients not covered by SWEDEHEART and persists after controlling for age and gender (Table). To what extent differences in registration procedures and other patient characteristics can explain the mortality difference is an area for further research.

Although further research is needed to fully understand these differences, epidemiological findings regarding MI prognosis should be interpreted in light of registry type used and population represented.

Description: This initiative sought to evaluate the use of personification to reinforce immunology concepts among pharmacy students.  A two-part question posed to first year pharmacy students asked if they could physically become two white blood cells (WBCs), which would they choose and why. Students received instruction in immunology prior to providing their feedback. Demographics included campus of enrollment and gender designation. Student ratings 1 to 5 reflected approval levels toward this activity’s usefulness (1: least; 5 most). Key Findings: One hundred and ten of 117 students selected two WBCs they would physically become if possible (94%). Less than two-thirds of students were female (63%) and the Columbia campus featured approximately a quarter of the students (24%). The most and least common WBCs chosen, as first selections by campus and gender, were statistically significant being neutrophils and basophils, lymphocytes and eosinophils, respectively. The median approval values of the WBC personification activity by campus and gender were similar and did not reach statistical significance, 4.5 and 5, respectively. Conclusion: Pharmacy students commended the personification activity for helping them learn the roles and responsibilities of WBCs. Unique and insightful rationales for the choices made for WBCs persisted among the students. In light of these favorable reviews, this type of activity can be adapted to other areas of pharmacy education.   Article Type: Note

This chapter describes how American bloggers and Chinese bloggers from similar age and gender groups represent themselves and their identities linguistically in their blogs and explores whether and to what extent the differences in terms of the blogging language and culture affect these representations. The author adopts a corpus-based approach and focuses on the description and the comparison of the orthographic features and semantic domain preference as revealed in the blog entries. By conducting a cross-linguistic and cross-cultural comparison between American bloggers and Chinese bloggers, the author finds that bloggers’ linguistic practice is closely related to their developmental stage of life, their gender, and the cultural environment they are immersed in. Meanwhile, bloggers’ linguistic practice is also constrained by the internal system of the language they use for blogging.

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the physical aerobic work in terms of the metabolic expenditure and compare it with the recommended boundaries of energy found in literature, proposing an alternative to the potential work overload through a compensatory equation introduced in the standard time of the workstation. To support the study, information considering the estimated metabolic expenditure in workers was applied to a novel procedure to reduce the metabolic demand of the task according to age and gender. Results of the study indicated that women older than 30 years exceeded the energy limits from moderate to very heavy load activities, and men older than 40 years exceeded the energy limits in heavy and very heavy workloads. The proposal of compensatory equation statistically reduced the energy loads below the recommended limits of energy. The aerobic workload is a sensitive factor for age and gender groups and can be potential risks for developing cardiovascular diseases as well as some musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract Background and Aim Long standing hypothyroidism may impair myocardial relaxation, but its effect on systolic myocardial function is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in patients with hypothyroidism. Methods This study included 81 (age 42 ± 13 years, 92% female) patients with hypothyroidism, and 22 age and gender matched controls. All subjects underwent a detailed clinical examination followed by a complete biochemical blood analysis including thyroid function assessment and anthropometric parameters measurements. LV function was assessed by 2 dimensional, M-mode and Tissue-Doppler Doppler echocardiographic examination performed in the same day. Results Patients had lower waist/hip ratio (p < 0.001), higher urea level (p = 0.002) and lower white blood cells (p = 0.011), compared to controls. All other clinical, biochemical and anthropometric data did not differ between the two groups. Patients had impaired LV diastolic function (lower E wave [p < 0.001], higher A wave [p = 0.028], lower E/A ratio [p < 0.001], longer E wave deceleration time [p = 0.01], and higher E/e’ ratio [p < 0.001]), compared with controls. Although LV global systolic function did not differ between groups, LV longitudinal systolic function was compromised in patients (lateral mitral annular plane systolic excursion - MAPSE [p = 0.005], as were lateral and septal TDI s’ [p < 0.001 for both]). Conclusion In patients with hypothyroidism, in addition to compromised LV diastolic function, LV longitudinal systolic function is also impaired compared to healthy subjects of the same age and gender. These findings suggest significant subendocardial function impairment, reflecting potentially micro-circulation disease, that requires optimum management.
