The paper reviews existing chronic heart failure (CHF) registers, a number of randomized trials, and meta-analyses on CHF. It provides a rationale for the need to create a CHF register in the Russian Federation, which will be able to assess the physician adherence to the guidelines for the guidelines for and the quality of medical care.

We argue that due to isospin and U–spin invariance of strong low–energy interactions the S–wave scattering lengths a0 and a 1 0 of K̄N scattering with isospin I = 0 and I = 1 satisfy the low–energy theorem a0 + 3a 1 0 = 0 valid to leading order in chiral expansion. In the model of strong low–energy K̄N interactions at threshold (EPJA 21,11 (2004)) we revisit the contribution of the Σ(1750) resona...

Here, we report the complete genome sequence (3.97 Mb) of "Halomonas chromatireducens" AGD 8-3, a denitrifying bacterium capable of chromate and selenite reduction under extreme haloalkaline conditions. This strain was isolated from soda solonchak soils of the Kulunda steppe, Russian Federation.

We report the draft genome sequencing of five Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor clinical isolates collected in the Russian Federation from imported cholera cases in 2006, 2010, and 2012. In the initial phylogenetic analysis, one isolate clustered with the Haiti/Nepal-4 group.

We report here the complete genome sequence of a Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolate, NDV/Altai/pigeon/770/2011, isolated from a rock dove in the Russian Federation. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, this strain was clustered into genotype VIb class II.

Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of six clinical Borrelia miyamotoi isolates from the Russian Federation. Using two independent next-generation sequencing platforms, we determined the complete sequence of the chromosome and several plasmids. All strains have an Asian genotype with 99.8% chromosome nucleotide similarity with B. miyamotoi strain FR64b.

The Russian Federation has the eleventh highest tuberculosis burden in the world in terms of the total estimated number of new cases that occur each year. In 2003, 26% of the population was covered by the internationally recommended control strategy known as directly observed treatment (DOT) compared to an overall average of 61% among the 22 countries with the highest burden of tuberculosis. Th...

The Geobacillus icigianus G1w1(T) strain was isolated from sludge samples of unnamed vaporing hydrothermal (97°С) outlets situated in a geyser in the Troinoy region (Valley of Geysers, Kronotsky Nature Reserve, Kamchatka, Russian Federation; 54°25'51.40″N, 160°7'41.40″E). The sequenced and annotated genome is 3,457,810 bp and encodes 3,342 genes.
