Results of a retrospective study of the clinical efficacy and safety of insulin RinFast® in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus by O. A. Dianov, D. A. Oleynik, A. V. Fofanova

“…BACKGROUND: The relevance of the study is justified by the fact that in recent years, the original insulin preparations have been replaced with biosimilars in the regions of the Russian Federation, but there are currently few studies describing the use of insulin biosimilars in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1), both in domestic and foreign sources.AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety insulin therapy with RinFast® (GEROPHARM LLC, Russia) as bolus therapy in combination with long-acting insulin and as monotherapy in an insulin pump in children with DM1 in real clinical practice.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The dynamics of HbA1c after 3 and 6 months, the change in daily insulin requirements, the fre quency of episodes of postprandial hyper- and hypoglycemia, adverse reactions at injection sites, the number of patients who reached the target values of HbA1c in children with DM1 who received RinFast® at least 6 months after the original analogue of insulin aspart were evaluated.RESULTS: The study was conducted in 50 children with DM1 from 1 to 18 years old (average age 9.8±4.6 years), with a duration of DM1 of more than 1 year (average duration 3.5±2.1 years), who had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at the beginning of follow-up of no more than 9.5% and received biosimilar RinFast® for at least 6 months after the transfer from the original analogue of insulin aspart. …”

Water equivalent of snow retrieved from data of passive microwave scanning with the use of artificial neural networks over the Russian Federation territory by A. A. Volchek, D. A. Kostyuk, D. O. Petrov

“…Validation was performed using data from the same sources collected during 7 years (1992–1998). Results of performed numerical experiments and obtained values of rootmean-square error (σ = 24.9 мм; r = 0.39±0,01) allow coming to conclusion that the best estimation of water equivalent of a snow cover is provided by artificial neural network using as the input data a set of the SSM/I channels 19.35, 37.0, 85.5 GHz of horizontal and vertical polarizations with meteorological data differentiated by types of the snow survey route.It is shown that low correlation coefficients (&lt; 0.5) as compared with similar studies on small areas is not caused by the chosen mathematical model and its realization but it is due to a strong diversity of climatic conditions and low density of meteorological stations on the land areas covered by our study. …”
