Abstract: The results of studying the mechanical properties of the Ti–4.25Al–2V titanium alloy produced by direct metal deposition with use of the equipment developed by the St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University are described. The mechanical properties of the deposited metal are compared with those of the cast and forged metal blanks. It is shown that the superior properties of the former in comparison with cast metal are associated with differences in the structure (in particular, with a high degree of dispersity).

to assess factors associated with high blood pressure (HBP), elevated BP (EBP), isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and arterial hypertension (AH) in representative Moscow sample.

The study estimates current prevalence of obesity in regions of Russian Federation (RF) with different climatic, socioeconomic and demographic characteristics.

Home arterial stiffness index (HASI) as well as other variability blood pressure indices may have an independent predictive value for total(TM), cardiovascular mortality(CVDM) and stroke.

To evaluate the arterial hypertension (AH) prevalence, awareness of, treatment and control status and some correlation between blood pressure (BP) levels and basic socio-demography the representative sample survey in four Moscow suburban towns (MST) and few settlement villages of one of North Russian area (NRA) were selected. Then 12 physician plots in MST were randomly selected. In each of plots about 200 households were selected (in total - 2260 hhs) and 1828 hhs were screened (RR=80.1%) by family questionnaire (Q). In NRA all households were to be screened. Adults older than age 15 were surveyed. Q included basic socio-demography, per capita income, living conditions, subsidiary plot, smoking and alcohol variables, history of cardiovascular diseases, BP measurement, heart rate, height, weight, waist and hips. In total 3633 male subjects in MST and 321 in NRA were screened (RR=73.1%). 2013 women in MST (RR=74.2%) and 384 in NRA were screened too. The basic prevalence (P), awareness (A), treatment (T) and control data in % are in the table.

Conclusions: In the selected populations of MST the basic parameters of AH control are close to the most developed countries nevertheless full BP normalization is very low still even from health professional insight. Situation with AH control in north areas is the worst.
