ABSTRACT
Purpose of Review: To highlight some achievements made through usage of telecommunication technologies in Mongolia as an example of a developing country with remote areas. Recent Findings: Telemedicine can be implemented not only for remote monitoring, diagnosing, and treating purposes but also can be effectively used for delivering knowledge and consultation services via modern technologies. Summary: Tele-health services can be successfully added to the traditional approach of physicians, especially in the countries with a vast territory with distant areas.
ABSTRACT
The review, discusses current data on biological indices that respond specifically to changes in Zn safety. The most reliable is the method of Zn safety evaluation based on its stores in organism measurement by means of stable isotopes. Zn status estimation by its levels determination in different kinds of available biological material (plasma, serum and whole blood, saliva, sweat, urine, hair, tissue samples) has different limitations. Some advances have so named physiological Zn safety criteria however their use is poorly validated or complicated with estimations subjectivity. Currently the first place belongs to a group of methods based on measurement of Zn-dependent proteins levels or activities together with their genes expression especially for such Zn-dependent enzyme as alkaline phosphatase.
