Awareness, Diagnosis and Management of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

The diagnosis and management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) can be difficult and multiple medical subspecialities are often involved. Several national and international guidelines regarding the investigations and management of IIH have been published in recent years but still there is no consensus about the optimal organization of IIH-care. The objective of this review was to propose and describe a referral pathway and an organization scheme for diagnosis and management of IIH. An extensive search of existing literature was conducted and summarized. In total, 237 IIH-articles were identified and hereof 43 included. The clinical practice in our specialized IIH-clinic is characterized and described. We conclude that an educational campaign involving medical care providers and patients with chronic headaches is necessary. A detailed organizational proposal for a referral pathway and management of IIH patients based on the literature search and our clinical experience from a highly specialized IIH outpatient clinic is suggested and discussed.

In this article were used methods an objective study of the subject of research; study in development, considering the conditions and influencing factors; study in activity, as one of the main conditions for development; systemic - structural approach; the concept of individuality. Results. The technologies successfully used in the practice of teaching a foreign language are analyzed as modern personality-oriented technologies that ensure the formation of linguistic and professional competence, readiness for self-education. Conclusion. Only a combination of all types of tasks represents the optimal organization of independent activity, contributes to the best assimilation of the material and forms students’ independence in the learning process.

CAUSES OF THE INVESTIGATIVE LINKS OF THE GROWTH OF DIABETES MELLITUS

Сахарный диабет (СД) является одной из серьезнейших медико-социальных и экономических проблем здравоохранения всех стран мира. Наибольшая опасность этого заболевания связана с развитием сосудистых осложнений. Поддержание целевого контроля факторов риска: гликемии, гипертонии и дислипидемии непосредственно с дебюта СД на протяжении всей жизни пациента по-прежнему остается наиболее перспективным направлением профилактики развития и прогрессирования диабетических осложнений. Непреложным условием эффективного контроля СД является создание программ активного скрининга, направленных на максимально раннюю диагностику осложнений, и оптимальная организация клинико-диагностического процесса в рамках обеспечения мультидисциплинарного подхода в лечении. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most serious medical, social and economic health problems in all countries of the world. The greatest danger of this disease is associated with the development of vascular complications. Maintaining targeted control of risk factors: glycemia, hypertension and dyslipidemia directly from the onset of diabetes throughout the patient's life remains the most promising direction for preventing the development and progression of diabetic complications. An essential condition for effective DM control is the creation of active screening programs aimed at the earliest possible diagnosis of complications, and the optimal organization of the clinical and diagnostic process within the framework of ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.

Optimal Organization of Functional Connectivity Networks for Segregation and Integration With Large-Scale Critical Dynamics in Human Brains

The optimal organization for functional segregation and integration in brain is made evident by the “small-world” feature of functional connectivity (FC) networks and is further supported by the loss of this feature that has been described in many types of brain disease. However, it remains unknown how such optimally organized FC networks arise from the brain's structural constrains. On the other hand, an emerging literature suggests that brain function may be supported by critical neural dynamics, which is believed to facilitate information processing in brain. Though previous investigations have shown that the critical dynamics plays an important role in understanding the relation between whole brain structural connectivity and functional connectivity, it is not clear if the critical dynamics could be responsible for the optimal FC network configuration in human brains. Here, we show that the long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in the resting state fMRI blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signals are significantly correlated with the topological matrices of the FC brain network. Using structure-dynamics-function modeling approach that incorporates diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data and simple cellular automata dynamics, we showed that the critical dynamics could optimize the whole brain FC network organization by, e.g., maximizing the clustering coefficient while minimizing the characteristic path length. We also demonstrated with a more detailed excitation-inhibition neuronal network model that loss of local excitation-inhibition (E/I) balance causes failure of critical dynamics, therefore disrupting the optimal FC network organization. The results highlighted the crucial role of the critical dynamics in forming an optimal organization of FC networks in the brain and have potential application to the understanding and modeling of abnormal FC configurations in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Reliability Analysis of Alarm Signals Transmitting Systems Used to Monitoring Buildings

The article presents a general method for identity the security risk factor for alarm signal transmission systems (ASTS), which are used in monitoring buildings and critical infrastructure. The security of the transmission of alarm signals to an alarm receiving center (ARC) is a property of the process, which is associated witch performing of tasks and functions, human factor, hardware and environment components. The process of transmitting alarm signals should be characterized by minimizing risk of external and internal interception/distortion or deformation of transmitted signals and in ideal case signals should be encrypted and integrity checked. Determining the security risk indicator for ASTS will allow optimal organization of electronic security systems.
