ABSTRACT
The problem of the survival of humankind has acquired a new relevance. If recently the whole world was horrified by the prospects of a nuclear war, now the value priorities have shifted from the technogenic forms of struggle of some states and peoples against others to bio-political constants. Although the issues of viral infection, as well as the social consequences of the use of AI technologies concern all 8 billion earthlings, however, the biopolitics in the era of coronavirus and AI reflects all the same patterns: not solidarity in research and solving problems, but rivalry and absolutization of national interest. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
Hypoxia, which could be defined as the level of oxygen tension in the body that is below the normal physiological value, is a process that is often observed in several diseases and occurs in most malignant tumors. On the other hand, in hypoxia several pathological conditions could occur, which could be caused by external and internal factors. During carcinogenesis, hypoxia may promote metastasis and an unfavorable prognosis. When infected with COVID-19, there is a «silent hypoxia», which could asymptomatically destroy the body. The review is devoted to hypoxia’s role in the development of some pathological conditions and malignant tumors. © 2021, Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
