We measured the number density of microalgae by flow cytometry and the number density and hydro-dynamic diameter of small particles in the samples by interferometric light microscopy. We observed considerable increase of the number density of microalgae with respect to control (untreated) samples after three days, which was connected to the amount of the material added. Addition of membrane-enclosed particles had a favourable effect on the microalgae growth. Microalgae proved a convenient system for in vitro studies of the ef-fects of substances.

Foreign medical students can be subjected to oral disease risk factors and therefore be in significant need for regular dental care, but there is a lack of in-formation how good students access the dental clinics. Study aimed to evaluate the acces-sibility to dental care for foreign medical students in Georgia. We conducted an online survey in duration of two weeks in October – November 2022. Study sample were medical undergraduate students, they answered 12 questions about frequency and type of dental visits, about availability and quality of dental care they received in Georgia. Overall from 270 medical undergraduate students aged between 18-45 years, 70% were male and 30% female. 70% were from Jordan, Iran - 15%, Egypt - 4%; Great Britain - 4%, France - 4% and Rwanda - 4%. In their countries 50% of students used to visit dental clinics every 6 months for regular check-up (70%); professional cleaning (31%) and dental pain (27%). 81.48% of interviewed students have never visited a dental clinic in Georgia. Among them who vis-ited, the purpose was check-up (65%) and dental pain (30%). For the source of information about dental clinics the students named internet (60%). Access to dental care was rated as medium (37.50%), while overall satisfaction was rated as normal (47.62%). The study showed very low rate of referral to the dentist. However, among those who visited the clin-ic, their evaluations were satisfactory. We can estimate the lack of information as an im-portant barrier for students. In addition, some students arrived in Georgia only a few months before the study started, so there might be no need to visit dentist in the time inter-val studied. Further research is needed to clearly identify possible barriers for dental care for medical students.

The goal of this paper is threefold: to introduce the Theory of Global Accreditation (TGA) for different organisa-tions (universities, firms, and business schools), to illustrate changes which take place as a result of accreditation practices and to reflect some trends in the market of global edu-cation with different accreditation and ranking schemes. Although the word ‘Accredita-tion’ is used from 1535, the accreditation trends became the new “political” phenomenon in the 21st century. The paper answers the questions: why and how do organisations seek the international accreditations and what are their impacts. The explanation of an observed phenomenon is helpful in a new world disorder filled with crises in multiple fields, and TGA can answer some practical questions of different academic and business organisations as well as different stakeholders as well as facilitate in predicting and grasping the level of expected changes. The examples of accreditation practices are pro-vided for the global business education and in the European Higher Education Area, in line with rankings with the explanation how they become an ‘accelerator’ of higher edu-cation reforms with the growing impact on the landscape of higher education. It is also perceived that international accreditation and rankings agencies can expand their ser-vices becoming the potential areas for consulting, research and science diplomacy in the new world of global disorder.

The most detected are parvovirus B19, and human herpes virus 6. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are the respiratory viruses that have recently triggered the unprecedented pandemic process. The involvement and impact of these viruses in viral cardiovascular disease are under study. Despite extensive research into the pathological mechanisms of viral infections of the cardiovascular system, our knowledge regarding their treatment and management is still incomplete. A condition caused by post- Co rona Virus Disease (COVID-19) myocarditis seems to have distinct inflammatory characteristics. Many kinds of arrhythmias may occur in patients with post-COVID-19 myocarditis and result in arrhythmogenic cardio-myopathy and sudden cardiac death. Sometimes arrhythmia can be the first and only symptom of myocarditis. However, compared to the other clinical presentations, arrhythmic myocarditis has been poorly described in the literature. The increased risk of arrhythmias in patients with a post-COVID-19 period is most likely a consequence of systemic inflammation and diseases, not just a direct consequence of the viral infection. A decrease in heart rate variability can contribute to electrical instability of the myocardium and the occurrence of arrhythmias. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and endomyocardial biopsy are the most useful tests for myocarditis. However, different from the other clinical presentations, arrhythmic myocarditis requires specific diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic considerations. This review aims to critically summarize the state of the art on myocarditis presenting with arrhythmias in terms of epidemiology, aetiology, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Excellent delivery capacity, biological origin, and nanosized dimensions support the great potential of EVs as medical and cosmetic active ingredients. Many studies have already reported improved skin conditions by using EVs for skin rejuvenation, scar removal, and anti-pigmentation treatments. In this review, EVs from mesenchymal stem cells, platelets, skin microbiota, and microalgae will be considered. The most promising results come from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) derived EVs that have impressive antiaging and wound-healing effects on the skin, but their use for medical or cosmetic purposes is not yet allowed in Europe and the United States. Autologous platelet- and extracellular vesicle-rich plasma (PVRP) is well tolerated and capable of rejuvenating the face; intradermal injections and topical applications are currently being considered in clinical and cosmetic dermatology. Symbiotic microorganisms of the human skin have many beneficial effects on the skin, but the presence of bacteria in cosmetic products is restricted; therefore, the preparation of EVs from skin-beneficial microbes is particularly relevant, and there are already many cosmetic products containing lysates from different probiotics on the market. Microalgae can produce many valuable bioactive compounds, antioxidants such as carotenoids are particularly interesting; therefore, microalgae are promising producers of EVs that could be used in cosmetic products.
