The Growing Role of Re-export in International Trade by V. N. Kirillov, Y. A. Savinov, A. E. Gudzenko

“…At the same time, large re-export operations are now performed not only by small states located at the intersection of sea roads but also by large, industrialized states: the USA, Great Britain, Italy, etc.The authors conclude that an essential factor in the development of re-export was the growth of trade restrictions imposed primarily for political reasons. Such restrictions apply in trade relations between India and Pakistan, Israel and the Arab countries, between some states of the Persian Gulf, etc. …”

The impact of type 2 diabetes on left ventricular function in hypertensive patients: a three-dimensional speckle-tracking imaging study by Yang Qingmei, Chen Xiaoyan, Fang Jianxiu

“…Furthermore, linear mixed-model analysis revealed that LV GCS (β = 1.20, 95% CI: 0.38–2.01, p = 0.004) and GRS (β = −2.82, 95% CI: −4.97–0.68, p = 0.010) deteriorated over the 12-month period.ConclusionsT2DM exacerbates the decline in LV global and regional strains in patients with hypertension, and 3D-STI may be a valuable tool for detecting these asymptomatic preclinical abnormalities.…”
