Press releases nature about the soviet industrialization, business and political circles and intellectuals reaction to the changes in the USSR during the 1920-1930s and deciding factors of the five-year plans perception by the Americans are determined and analyzed in this work. American periodicals, diplomatic correspondence of the Peoples Commissariat for Foreign Affairs (NKID) as well as materials of soviet propaganda are of particular importance for this research. On the basis of these sources the following conclusions were drawn: the American public had different views on the Soviet industrialization. Positive estimations were based on the real progress (new plants construction, improvement of the quality of life). Negative - on disparities between Soviet and American standards of labor productivity and quality, management, discipline, etc. Authors personal sympathies to the Soviet regime, artificial information selection by soviet censorship, political, social and economic environment in the USA influenced on the American public opinion. Soviet propaganda methods in order to form proper views in American society in that period were not substantial.

Aim: To describe the epidemiologic, humanistic and economic burdens of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the USA. Materials & methods: Studies describing the epidemiology and economic burden from national cohorts, any economic models, or any humanistic burden studies published 2008–2018 were systematically searched. Results: HCC incidence was 9.5 per 100,000 person-years in most recent data, but was ∼100-times higher among patients with hepatitis/cirrhosis. Approximately a third of patients were diagnosed with advanced disease. Patients with HCC experienced poor quality of life. Direct costs were substantial and varied based on underlying demographics, disease stage and treatment received. Between 25–77% of patients did not receive surgical, locoregional or systemic treatment. Conclusion: Better treatments are needed to extend survival and improve quality of life for patients with HCC.

Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

This plain language summary describes the results of a study called ATTR-ACT, which was published in the American Journal of Cardiology. In ATTR-ACT, researchers looked at the effects of tafamidis treatment in people with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (called ATTR-CM for short). Tafamidis is currently available in the USA and other countries as an oral treatment for adults with ATTR-CM. In ATTR-ACT, 441 people with ATTR-CM from 13 different countries took either tafamidis or placebo by mouth for 30 months. First, researchers looked at the effects of tafamidis on the risk of death and hospitalization due to heart problems between the start and the end of the study; they found that these risks were about one-third lower with tafamidis compared with placebo. As described in this summary, researchers also looked at the effects of tafamidis on people’s heart failure symptoms, quality of life, and general health over the 30-month study. People who took part in ATTR-ACT rated these effects using questionnaires filled out before, during, and after the study. More people who took tafamidis saw improvement or no change in their heart failure symptoms and quality of life than people who took placebo. In addition, compared with people taking placebo, people taking tafamidis had less worsening of their general health during the study. These results show the benefits of tafamidis in reducing the declines in quality of life and health that often occur with this debilitating disease.

In fact, every era in the development of mankind was characterized by ideas related to the relationship between cognitive and sensory, but only at the end of the 20th century. the term «emotional intelligence» was formulated and gained wide popularity in world psychology. Three decades later, we can say that the concept has passed a certain evolutionary path and today is one of the most discussed categories. In the XXI century. The level of Emotinal Intelligence has become an important characteristic of the modern personality and reliable worker, therefore, a lot of research and development of tests for determining EI is devoted to this topic.
