In conclusion, non-reentrant DVR SVT is a rare form of tachycardia that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of SVT in children after repair of congenital heart diseases. It is amenable to mapping and RF catheter ablation.”
“Technology of industrial production
of an active pharmaceutical substance (APS) of the recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) involved the use of a highly productive E. coli strain capable of biosynthesis of rhG-CSF in the form of inclusion bodies (IB). A method of strain cultivation has been described, and methods of HSP targets IB isolation, industrial-scale purification, filgrastim APS production, and quality control
have been developed. Clinical trials of the preparation, HSP990 mw carried out in the leading Russian clinics, were successful. Efficiency and safety of the preparation have been confirmed. A ready pharmaceutical form Neupomax (R) has been produced in Russia since 2008 according to the technology developed.”
“Pectus carinatum is a protrusion deformity of the anterior chest wall that is most likely caused by a disproportionate growth of the costal cartilages compared with the remainder of the thoracic skeleton. A young boy had previously undergone corrective congenital heart operation, after which a prominent sternal protrusion was noted. During the past year, the protrusion had greatly increased in size and had become recurrently infected. Chest X-ray showed that a sternal wire, the ends of which were pointing toward the skin, had straightened. Operative intervention included removal of the offending wire, draining a chronic abscess, and shaving the protruding sternum so that it conformed to the rest of the sternum.”
“Deep
desulfurization of oil and its fractions is currently performed by hydration at high temperature and hydrogen pressure, which makes the process rather expensive. Searches for alternative modes for desulfurization, among which is biodesulfurization, are intensely in progress. In this review, the following subjects are discussed: microorganisms capable of AZ 628 in vitro desulfurizing petroleum products, mechanisms of their activity, achievements in the field of process development, and disadvantages of the method. The existing level of knowledge is insufficient for immediate implementation of an industrial biotechnological process for sulfur elimination from oil and motor fuel and it can only be regarded as a medium-term (10-15 years) prospect.”
“Left-ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy of emerging importance. It is known to occur in association with genetic syndromes. We report here for the first time an infant with LVNC in association with trisomy 21.
