Работы проводятся при финансовой поддержке РФФИ (грант «РФФИ-Урал» №10-08-96054) Изучена конверсия индивидуальных биотопливных частиц (древесина, финиковая косточка, гранулы древесной и торофяной пыли) и их множества в плотном слое в условиях воздушного, парового и углекислотного процессов. Определены минимально необходимые температурные условия получения состава генераторного газа, максимально приближенного к условиям равновесия.
The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in COPD patients with obesity and patients with normal body weight. Materials and Methods: The study involved 2 groups of patients with COPD (clinical Group D) similar in spirometric parameters with signs of airflow limitation on spirometry (FEV 1 <50% of predicted, a post-bronchodilator FEV 1 /FVC ratio<70% of predicted). Group 1 consisted of 45 obese COPD patients (BMI>30 kg/m 2). Group 2 included 44 COPD patients with normal body weight (BMI from 18.5 kg/m 2 to 24.9 kg/m 2). The groups were comparable in age, gender, severity of bronchial obstruction, concomitant pathology, and drug therapy. All patients underwent IMT for 8 weeks. Breathe-Link Live Feedback Software was used to evaluate such parameter as SI (Strength Index), PIF (Peak Inspiratory Flow), Average Pressure, Average Power, Average Flow, Average Volume for the entire sessions were estimated. At the baseline and after 8 weeks all patients underwent an assessment of the lung function using spirometry (including FVC, FEV 1), and the severity of dyspnea using the mMRC questionnaire (The Modified Medical Research Council). Results: A comparative analysis of the estimated parameters of training sessions showed a significant increase in SI, PIF, Average Power, and Average Flow in patients of Group 1. In patients of Group 2, we found only a tendency to be increased in these parameters, with the exception of Average Flow. A statistically significant increase in the FEV 1 and FVC parameters was observed only in Group 1. Statistical analysis showed a close correlation between the SI and the severity of dyspnea on the mMRC scale (r=-0.52, P<0.05) in Group 1. Conclusion: The results of our study indicate a positive effect of IMT in patients with COPD, and a greater effect in patients with obesity than in those with normal body weight. Clinically, an improvement in the IMT parameters was expressed in a decrease in dyspnea and an improvement in spirometric indicators.

It seems impossible at the moment to stem the incidence of diabetes despite the enormous efforts to address this global problem. We have examined 30 patients with type 2 diabetes to study the clinical and functional status of the peripheral nervous system in patients with diabetic distal polyneuropathy. Our works showed the importance of both clinical and electroneuroneuromiographic examination of patients with diabetes who have or do not have objective manifestations of polyneuropathy. This allows for early detection of the initial effects of polyneuropathy. In patients with symptomatic stage of diabetic polyneuropathy, this method allows to establish the pattern, nature, and severity of lesions of fibers of peripheral nerve trunks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
