Breef content: |
Among other burdens, pregnancy also brings autoimmune diseases. The Novosibirsk researchers are looking for the factors that switch the immune system of young mothers from the normal conditions to a disease and vice versa. Their efforts are supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation ("Fundamental Research in the Area of Engineering Sciences" program) and the 6th Contest-examination of research projects by young researchers of the Russian Academy of Sciences for basic and applied research.

Breef content: |
Researchers of the Kola Scientific Center, Russain Academy of Sciences, have developed an efficient method for sewage water purification from fluorine ions. Fine purification of water can be achieved through utilization of sorbents containing titanium. In addition, the method solves the problem of recycling spent sorbents saturated with fluorine.

THERMAL PORTRAIT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS PATIENTS
Free access.
|
|
Breef content: |
Contemporary thermal imaging equipment may be applied to medicine for diagnostics and treatment efficiency control. Russian biophysicists used a thermal imager for recording the blood supply of atherosclerosis patients' extremities prior and after the treatment by gas-transport blood substitutes injections. Researches in this area by Russian biophysicists have been funded through the "Basic Sciences for Medicine" research program (Russian Academy of Sciences), State Foundation for Promotion of Small-Size Enterprises in Scientific and Technical Areas and the 2003 Moscow Regional Grant.
