HERON BIOLOGY (ARDEIDAE, CICONIIFORMES) ON THE EASTERN COAST OF THE AZOV SEA OF THE KRASNODAR REGION
No full textAim. The main goal was to assess the current state of herons in the Eastern sea of Azov in Krasnodar region.Methods. We have conducted collecting of material according to conventional ornithological methods of Saemann D. (1970), Kostin, Y. V. (1977), Klimova S. M. (1989), Brave V. M. (1991), and Bogolyubov A. S. (1996).Results. Spring arrivals in the eastern coast of the Azov Sea have been noted from February to April. Jacks suit in the thickets of reeds, rushes to the creases, some species of trees. The breeding season is extended, depending on the time of construction of the nest. Number of eggs per clutch varies from 1 to 5. The incubating of eggs lasts 21-27 days. The development of the chicks lasts 40-55 days. The effectiveness of nesting herons in the studied species in the lower reaches of the Kuban ranges from 78.6% to 83.5%. The basis of herons diet of fish of different species and sizes. Analysis of the castings showed the presence in them of Coleoptera fragments, lake frog, wool and the remnants of rodents.Main conclusions. Studied basic biological periods herons of Eastern Azov region. Established that the size of heron population at the area of interest varies year by year due to effect of anthropogenic and abiotic factors

Medium sized, pale blue black flies with gold/yellow hair, 11–19 mm. The long, gold appressed hair on the scutum and scutellum, and the long gold hair on the apical 3 tergites distinguish the fly. There exists a wide variation within the species in regards to chaetotaxy and shape of abdomen (Lehr, 1992: 83). One South Korean male specimen shows tergites 2–4 narrowed apically; tergites 5 7 widened apically. Redescription. Head: Face white pollinose with long yellow hair. Mystax mostly black, long, intermingled with shorter yellow hair. Long, thick, yellow parafacial hair. Orbital hair long, black. Proboscis flattened laterally; apex punctulate (with pits) and fine hair. Postocular hair yellow, merging into black. Ocellar tubercle with 2 long black dorsal bristles and 2 anterior bristles. Antenna black with black hair; relative lengths of segments: 3> 1> 2; postpedicel (segment 3) with a groove on apical 1 / 3 of segment. Thorax: Scutum pale blue covered in bright gold appressed hair, intermingled evenly with sparse black erect hair. Postpronotal hair black. Chaetotaxy with 2 notopleural; 3–4 supraalar; 4 postalar bristles, all black. Long fine black dorsocentral hair erect on appressed gold mats of hair. Discal scutellar hair long, yellow appressed, similar to that on posterior of scutum apex. Scutellar margin ringed with long yellow and black bristles. Lateral aspect of thorax black, gray tomentose.

Fondaparinux for the treatment of superficial-vein thrombosis in the legs.
No full textInternational audienceBACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of anticoagulant treatment for patients with acute, symptomatic superficial-vein thrombosis in the legs, but without concomitant deep-vein thrombosis or symptomatic pulmonary embolism at presentation, have not been established. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind trial, we assigned 3002 patients to receive either fondaparinux, administered subcutaneously at a dose of 2.5 mg once daily, or placebo for 45 days. The primary efficacy outcome was a composite of death from any cause or symptomatic pulmonary embolism, symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis, or symptomatic extension to the saphenofemoral junction or symptomatic recurrence of superficial-vein thrombosis at day 47. The main safety outcome was major bleeding. The patients were followed until day 77. RESULTS: The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 13 of 1502 patients (0.9%) in the fondaparinux group and 88 of 1500 patients (5.9%) in the placebo group (relative risk reduction with fondaparinux, 85%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 74 to 92; P<0.001). The incidence of each component of the primary efficacy outcome was significantly reduced in the fondaparinux group as compared with the placebo group, except for the outcome of death (0.1% in both groups). The rate of pulmonary embolism or deep-vein thrombosis was 85% lower in the fondaparinux group than in the placebo group (0.2% vs. 1.3%; 95% CI, 50 to 95; P<0.001). Similar risk reductions were observed at day 77. A total of 88 patients would need to be treated to prevent one instance of pulmonary embolism or deep-vein thrombosis. Major bleeding occurred in one patient in each group. The incidence of serious adverse events was 0.7% with fondaparinux and 1.1% with placebo. CONCLUSIONS: Fondaparinux at a dose of 2.5 mg once a day for 45 days was effective in the treatment of patients with acute, symptomatic superficial-vein thrombosis of the legs and did not have serious side effects.
