Normal range of liver stiffness measurement in healthy people
... normal values. Consensus is needed on the subject of normal values of the liver stiffness measurements and shear wave velocity in the liver tissue. Considering the discrepancy between the results of normal liver stiffness values in the sonographic equipment of various manufacturers dynamic observation upon liver stiffness values should be performed using the same machine in the same individual on the depth of 2—5 cm from liver capsule, preferably by the same operator. Caution should be given ...
Liver shear wave elastography: the problem of accuracy and reproducibility
... stiffness measurements using shear wave elastography (SWE), as well as on the reliability of judgments about the norm and pathology. The tasks included analyzing the factors affecting the accuracy of measurements of liver stiffness depending on the equipment; testing various SWE techniques for their advantages and disadvantages; identifying the factors depending on the patient (body mass index, gender, respiration, etc.); finding out the reproducibility of liver stiffness measurements in SWE, ...
Consequences and Design in General and Transcendental Logic
... in the spirit of the scholastic ontology of transcendental relations, it would contradict Kant’s critique of dogmatic ontology. Following in Luciano Floridi’s path, I thus propose to consider transcendental logic, not as a system of consequences equipped with ontologically grounded transcendental limitations, but rather as the logic of design. The logic of design has the benefit of enriching traditional logical tools with a series of notions borrowed primarily from computer programming. A conceptual ...
The methodology of developing manipulative skills in female gymnasts in the first year of training in basic training groups
... gymnastics training. These features include the characteristics of children’s’ training session organization and the requirements for the technical performance and training of students. The author comes to the conclusion that the availability of equipment and persistent mastering of new techniques is of great importance in working with children. The development of manipulative skills with the help of specially designed tools and control systems are the key aspects of the offered methodology.

The muscle activity biofeedback in the training of Greco-Roman wrestlers
One of the new methods to improve muscle coordination is the muscle activity biofeedback, which is based on the principles of biological feedback and implemented by means of modern computer equipment. The muscle activity biofeedback prevents muscle overexertion and improves muscle coordination, which results in a change in brain mechanisms.
The authors studied the intercoordination of muscular groups important for the structure of wrestle....
Equipment of Prussian lieges in the State of Teutonic Order in the second half of the XIIIth — XIV centuries (on written sources)
The key aspect of incorporation of Prussians, who inhabited the South-East of Baltic region, into the social system of the State of Teutonic Order in the second half of the XIIIth—XIVth centuries was the distribution among them of land estates in exchange of military service and/or taxes. The military duties of Prussians involving defense of lands and participating in the campaigns against political rivals of Order raised the issue of the composition of their weapons which indicated either preserving...
