US Deterrence against Russia and China (based on strategic documents of J. Biden administration) by V. I. Batyuk

“…At the same time, the Biden administration’s approaches to building relations with Moscow are no less ideological than in the case of the PRC, which makes the prospects for resuming Russian-American (and ideally trilateral Russian-American-Chinese) negotiations on strategic arms control extremely vague. The question arises to what extent this ideologized foreign policy of the Biden administration meets the new international realities and the strategic interests of the United States itself.…”

Changes in household food security, access to health services and income in northern Lao PDR during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional survey by Jennifer R Head, Phetsavanh Chanthavilay, Helen Catton, Ammaline Vongsitthi, Kelley Khamphouxay, Niphone Simphaly

“…Decreased expenditures was associated with reliance on more extreme coping strategies to meet food needs. The households who experienced no change in meeting food needs produced a greater percentage of their food from homegrown methods (4.22% more, 95% CI 1.28 to 7.15), than households who found it more difficult.Conclusions Pandemic-associated shocks may have large effects on food insecurity. …”

PHARMACEUTICAL CARE OF ACNE PATIENTS USING SYSTEMIC RETINOIDS by Yuliya Nastyukha, Andriy Zimenkovsky, Diana Klapko

“…As a result of the analysis of current regulatory-legal documents, 6 main guidelines were identified, including 10 key messages of pharmaceutical care. Considering the extremely low level of proper implementation of the Pregnancy Prevention Program when using systemic retinoids (3.7%; 95CI: 0.1-19.0%) and the severity of the consequences of neglecting the recommendations (teratogenic effect), pharmaceutical care should include the issue of effective contraception and pregnancy testing by not only informing but also finding and using other strategies to increase patient compliance with the recommendations, in our opinion. …”

Isoflurane Induced Malignant Hyperthermia in a Patient with Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Growth Hormone Abuse by Hojatolah Ravaei, Mohammad Javad Yavari Barhaghtalab, Vahid Salehi, Hossein Hejr

“…Another main lesson which this study tells us is to make a careful and proper history taking before going on an operation for preoperative evaluation and identification of patients with any form of suspicious drug abuse in order not to receive volatile inhalational agents and, also, performing some preventive measures including avoidance of heat extremes and restricting athletic activity in a patient with a history of malignant hyperthermia, and if the malignant hyperthermia susceptibility is suspected, urgent management should be carried out. …”

Influences of True Triaxial Loading-Unloading Stress Paths on Mechanical Properties and Wave Velocity of Coal Samples subject to Risk of Rock Burst by Wei Shen, Guang-Jian Liu, Lin-Ming Dou, Si-Yuan Gong, Hu He

“…The results showed that when the BRCS was subjected to a triaxial state of stress, the high- and low-velocity regions existed alternately due to the presence of the crack; during the elastic phase, the crack closed during loading in the previous phase was reopened upon unloading, so that the velocity of the sample decreased and a wide range of low-velocity regions could be formed; when entering the yield phase, the original crack continued to expand into a hole-through crack, leading to wider extreme values and ranges of these low- and high-velocity regions; at the breaking phase, multiple microcracks were generated around the hole-through cracks, decreasing the overall velocity, and showing point distributions characteristics of high- and low-velocity regions. …”
