Rheological models of trabecular structures joint implants obtained by additive processes by Олександр Саленко, Микола Крищук, Наталія Гаврушкевич, Галина Габузян, Дмитро Джулій

“…It is taken into account that the implant itself should be made in the form of a combined set of functional elements (or initial surfaces), the dynamic properties of which are variable and maximally adapted to the properties of the connected bone, which allows to preserve the initial properties of the bones of the joints as much as possible while ensuring the proper strength and reliability of the structure in as a whole The interdependence of the results of surgical intervention with the patient's initial condition, indications for treatment, his activity and possible postoperative complications was analyzed. …”

Algorithm for Finding Feedback in a Problem with Constraints for One Class of Nonlinear Control Systems by Michail G. Dmitriev, Zainelkhriet N. Murzabekov, Gulbanu A. Mirzakhmedova

“…For this, the solution of an auxiliary optimal control problem with a quadratic functional is used by analogy with the SDRE approach.Since this approach is used in the literature to find suboptimal synthesis in optimal control problems with a quadratic functional with formally linear systems, where all coefficient matrices in differential equations and criteria can contain state variables, then on a finite time interval it becomes necessary to solve a complicated matrix differential Riccati equations, with state-dependent coefficient matrices. …”

Assessment of the significance of factors associated with the development of long-term adverse cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes mellitus by D. V. Grazhdankina, I. A. Bondar, A. A. Demin

“…Concentration of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) was determined on an Immulait 2000 Siemens analyzer by immunochemiluminescence assay. Glycemic variability was assessed by calculating the standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of glycemia during the day according to laboratory measurements of glucose levels at least 3 times a day for at least 3 days. …”
