Study of apoptosis on primary rat hepatocytes revealed a new, yet undescribed proces that we named "preapoptotic cell stress response". We have demonstrated that the initial steps of apoptosis are stable and reversible.

Carbon monoxide poisoning causes decreased oxygen availability in brain leading to neuronal damage. We have shown that the protective effect of hyperbaric oxygenation is time dependent regarding the time of exposure to Co, and the time of the onset of hyperbaric oxygenation.

The study of the effects of ecotoxins on heart has shown that microcystin YR caused atrophy and degeneration of the heart muscle, and the possible role of apoptosis in this effect was proposed. The results suggest careful monitoring of the presence of microcystin YR in drinking water..

Accuracy of advanced versus strictly conventional 12-lead ECG for detection and screening of coronary artery disease, left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular systolic dysfunction was studied on 418 healthy controls and 290 patients with imaging-proven CAD, LVH and/or LVSD. It has been shon that tehe advanced EKG, developed in our program team, has superior diagnostic and predictive value compared to the conventional EKG.

Simultaneous measurements of blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, and laser-Doppler flux response to local cooling in healthy women, in pregnant women with normal pregnancy, and in women with gestational hypertension have shown that the cardiovascular reactivity adaptation seen in normal pregnancy is absent in gestational hypertension, which indicates possible role of changes in microcirculation on the development of gestational hypertension.
