Biological rhythms: influence on the cardiovascular system performance

View issue in PDF

• Dear Readers!

  Needless to say, the idea of our Journal is to offer most exclusive research papers on problems associated with investigations of the human cardiovascular system. We are happy to state that the popularity of our Journal throughout in the world has been growing steadily. We believe the foundation for our success has been laid by the results achieved by our authors, and it is applicable both to theory and practice. The theories presented in the papers have valuable use and advantages in practical activities.

  Biological rhythms in the living cell: tunes of the life

  Sergey L. Zaguskin

  Offered is an overview of the author's papers in exploring an interface between biological rhythms of energy, function and biosynthesis in a nerve cell of a crayfish stretch receptor. Parameters of mitochondrion aggregation rhythms integrally determine the energy metabolism in the cell.

  Hierarchy of biological rhythms, chronodiagnostics and bio-feedback

  Sergey L. Zaguskin

  An overview of the author’s original works dedicated to the hierarchy of biological rhythms, chronodiagnostics and bio-controlled chronophysiotherapy is presented herein. Stability of biosystems is based on harmony of discrete spectra of their biological rhythms with a spectrum of normal cosmoheliogeophysical rhythms.

  Differences between measuring durations in the laboratory experi­ments and time measurements in the life-sciences and humanities

  Elizabetha Levin

  This paper develops three interconnected ideas about measurements of durations, of the calendar times and of the time in historical processes. It is shown that although we cannot predict ahead of time what exact novelties will arise in the noosphere, we are able to estimate a periodicity of the radical changes occurring in the cultural history.

  Peculiarities of morphological and functional characteristics of residents of the North-East of Russia, depending on background meteorological and heliomagnetic indices

  Inessa V. Averyanova, Sergey I. Vdovenko

  In order to reveal the functional interrelationships of the main physiological characteristics of the organism with the external environment exogenous abiotic factors, as well as the evaluation of the magnetic field factor effect on the morphofunctional status main characteristics, 18 healthy men aged 25–49 years old, residents of the North-East of Russia (Magadan) were examined.

  The phonocardiographic data recording & processing system: an effective approach

  Kulyash K. Makesheva, Eldos A. Altay, Aygerim A. Sadykova

  Some results obtained in recording and processing of phonocardiograms are presented herein. To process phonocardiographic signals, a cascade filtration method has been used that allows detecting tones of the cardiovascular system in the background noise. The effectiveness of the proposed processing method is demonstrated by the results of visualization.

  Formation of the system of anti-stressor reactions as a non-specific basis for health and longevity

  Alla I. Shikhlyarova, Oleg I. Kit

  The proposed editorial article touches upon aspects of fundamental medicine associated with the discovery of systems of nonspecific adaptation reactions in the organism as a whole. It is shown that the key law of the organism's response to the actions of the external and internal environment consists in the dependence between the reaction quality and the quantity (measure, intensity) of an acting factor.

  Inseparable relationship between intellectual services and high-tech medical equipment

  Sergey V. Astanin, Natalia K. Zhukovskaya, Marina A. Zharkova

  The social problems in any country, related to public health and demography, induce developments and production of diagnostic and therapeutic medical equipment. Such equipment belongs to high-tech products and requires to be accompanied by intellectual services for a successful promotion of medical products on the market under modern competitive conditions.
