“…The prevalence of obesity in the general population in Kazakhstan in 2017 was greater than 20%. The increase of the prevalence of obesity over the past 5 years was 3.9% [1]. Metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is the result of abdominal obesity, is a complex combination of symptoms that are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and manifestations of type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and dyslipidemia.…”

Background To date, surgeons and physicians have found positive results treating metabolic syndrome with surgical and non-surgical weight loss therapies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in telomere length in patients with metabolic syndrome after weight loss. Methods/design This study is a three-arm randomized controlled trial. The first group is composed of patients who have undergone stapleless bypass surgery (one anastomosis gastric bypass with an obstructive stapleless pouch and anastomosis (LOAGB-OSPAN)). The second group of patients underwent standard gastric bypass surgery (laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass-one anastomosis gastric bypass (LMGB-OAGB). The patients in the third group received non-surgical weight loss therapy, including a hypocaloric diet with energy restriction (− 500 kcal/day). The aim is to compare changes—telomere length, body mass index, comorbidities, and quality of life—in patients with metabolic syndrome after weight loss. Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first randomized study to simultaneously compare the effects of surgical and non-surgical weight loss on changes in telomere length. It could provide a solution to the growing problem of metabolic syndrome. Normalization of the body mass index results in improvements in the health of patients with metabolic syndrome.

“…Moreover, we found out that the majority of examined with obesity does not know his or her exact weight and height. An attempt was made to systematize and correct statistical data in the RK on diabetes and obesity (11). However, questions related to ulcerative gastroduodenal complications in this group of patients have not been studied.…”

Background: The prevalence of bleeding and perforation against the diabetes mellitus, obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is studied not sufficiently. Methods: The period of collecting the material was 15 years (2003-2017). The observation analysis was conducted for the patients at polyclinics observations, by the doctors of first-aid, in the surgical departments of the Astana City, Kazakhstan. The number of first-aid visits to patients, the medical cards of the patients with gastroduodenal perforation (GDP) and gastroduodenal bleeding (GDB) were analyzed. Results: The rate of annual growth of indices of overall morbidity Rgm=1.0%, obesity in combination with diabetes was Ro=1.7%; and morbidity with metabolic syndrome was Rm=3.1%. The diagnosis of GDP was revealed in 0.63 men with MetS for every 100000 urban people. The diagnosis of GDB was registered in 2.12 men for 100000 urban people. The index of the annual growth in patients with MetS had the tendency to the growth (Rms=3.1%). Conclusion: The high medical and social significance of diseases of the digestive system among the adult population in Kazakhstan is determined by the annual increase in the incidence rate and a clear decrease in the quality of life of such patients, which necessitates the search for scientifically based ways to improve medical care for this population.

“…The Izborskii Club's 'findings' include conspiracy-based metanarratives that talk of a coming catastrophe in which the world will need to continue technological progress whilst preserving humanism, with Russia 'the only part of humanity capable of performing this task' (Delyagin, 2013: p. 10). Or the notion of a secret Anglo-American society controlling world politics in the twentieth century, causing two world wars, and still existing today (Fursov, 2013). In amidst the huge amount of evidence-free, semi-formed ideas of the Izborskii Club there exist too some well argued conceptualisations and proposals, but much of the published material is closer to conspiratorial imaginings than reasoned analysis.…”

Russia's ruling regime, dominated by Vladimir Putin since he first became president in 2000, is often seen as presenting a consistent and coherent narrative and allowing little space for plurality of opinions. While it is the case that at the level of metanarrative, a consistent official story of a Russia resurgent both domestically and internationally has been told, analysis of the work of think tanks within the purview of Russia's political leadership reveals that conflicting narratives remain at play within the regime's political tent. Analysis of a decade of think tank activity shows that the Medvedev presidency (2008-2012) saw the rise and then decline of the liberal INSOR think tank, while the most prominent think tank in Putin's third term as president (2012-2018) was the anti-liberal Izborskii Club, which followed a similar pattern of waxing and waning prominence. From the point of view of Russia's leadership, the existence of these think tanks has a functionalist explanation, allowing what is essentially a non-ideological regime to engage with and adopt different positions according to its proximate requirements. Such a functionalist approach runs the risk of undermining the coherence and persuasiveness of the regime's narrative(s). From the point of view of the political science classification of the extant Russian regime, Russia's post-Soviet 'transition' remains to be resolved in terms of its chosen course even a quarter of a century on from the collapse of Communism.
