Purpose: Complications after hip/knee/other joint arthroplasty develop in approximately 1-1.5% of young people and in 2.5-3% of elderly patients. Despite the meager chance of developing negative consequences, they can affect anyone, especially those who did not follow the rigorous rehabilitation program. Complications after endoprosthetics of hip/knee/other joints results from incorrect postoperative care and physical activity after discharge from the hospital. The second reason is technical approach of the surgeon. And third is an inadequate preoperative examination. The aim of the article is to have a detailed description of short term, midterm and long-term complications after joint replacement surgeries and of the methods (clinical and radiological) to avoid those complications with all the required parameters.

© Group of authors, 2018. The article presents literature data on the methods of correction of linear atrophy of the skin (striae). This pathology is widespread in both sexes. The decline in the quality of life in this disease occurs largely due to the presence of a cosmetic defect. To date, there is no universal therapeutic approach for the correction of stretch marks. In this article available literature data on the problem of linear atrophy of the skin has been summarized.

Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is defined as an acute clinically significant respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new, widespread alveolar abnormalities, such as diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacification and/or consolidation, and the absence of other obvious clinical causes like fluid overload, left heart failure, or pulmonary embolism, etc. AE-IPF is subcategorized as “triggered” (where specific causes are identified, for example, infections, surgery procedures, drug toxicity, etc.) or “idiopathic” (where no specific causes are identified). In randomized trials, the annual incidence of AE-IPF is about 8%, in retrospective studies it reaches 19%. Severe forms of IPF are an important risk factor for the development of AE-IPF. In-hospital mortality from AE-IPF is more than 50%, and the average survival of patients with AE-IPF is 1-4 months. Currently, there remain no proven, effective therapies for AE-IPF. In real clinical practice patients with AE-IPF still receive high doses of systemic corticosteroids and antibiotics. Antifibrotic therapy can reduce the risk of exacerbations; it has been shown that therapy with nintedanib leads to a reduction in the number of confirmed/suspected AE-IPF by 68%. It is necessary to further study the potential methods of prevention and therapy of AE-IPF in future clinical trials.

Radical prostatectomy (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) remains the main method of surgical treatment for prostate cancer. However, minimally invasive therapies for prostate cancer are becoming increasingly popular in recent years, because they have similar efficacy as open surgery. The most studied minimally invasive therapies are cryoablation, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and brachytherapy. Despite the minimization of damage to neighboring structures, minimally invasive procedures can cause a number of complications, like any other surgical interventions. Each method has specific limitations and the most typical complications. Since multiple minimally invasive methods are currently available, we can ensure an individual approach to each particular patient, thus using the advantages of the methods and avoiding possible complications. This article covers the most frequent and severe complications of minimally invasive therapies for prostate cancer, as well as the methods of their prevention and treatment.

Patient survival after heart transplantation has improved dramatically since the availability of calcineurin inhibitor (CNIs). However, nephrotoxicity of CNIs has been largely responsible for the progressive development of renal dysfunction and reduces long-term patient survival. Use mTOR inhibitor in immunosuppressive therapy may improve renal function when everolimus is administered associated with a progressive reduction of CNIs. The purpose of our report is to demonstrate the successful case of conversion of the recipient after heart transplantation to everolimus and to evaluate the effectiveness of this drug during the observation year after heart transplantation.

Эти пациенты в большинстве случаев страдают несколькими коморбидными заболеваниями, что значительно утяжеляет прогноз и усложняет тактику ведения. Представлен клинический случай пожилой пациентки, длительное время страдающей сахарным диабетом 2 типа, получающей инсулинотерапию, нахо- дящейся на программном гемодиализе из-за терминальной хронической почечной недостаточности, а также имеющей постоянную форму фибрилляции предсердий. Пациентка была госпитализирована в ГКБ №1 им Н.И. Пирогова по поводу острого повторного инфаркта миокарда. Проведено экстренное чрескожное коронарное вмешательство, стентирование инфаркт-зависимой артерии стентом с лекарст- венным покрытием. Послеоперационный период осложнился развитием острой кровопотери на фоне кровотечения из верхних отделов желудочно-кишечного тракта, тяжелой анемии сочетанного генеза (постгеморрагической, нефрогенной), что потребовало от врачей принятия нестандартных решений по выбору антитромботической терапии. Данный клинический случай иллюстрирует сложности ведения пожилых полиморбидных пациентов в реальной клинической практике, и спорные вопросы, возникающие при назначении им антитромботической терапии, особенно, после развившегося кровотечения. Рекомендательные документы не могут дать ответ на все вопросы, которые ставит перед врачом повседневная практика. В каждом конкретном случае возобновление антитромботической терапии и ее оптимальный выбор для пожилого полиморбидного пациента с развившимся кровотечением является предметом дискуссии, и представляет для лечащего врача настоящий вызов.

The main reason of surgical treatment failure in cases of chronic dacryocystitis concurrent with nasolacrimal duct obliteration is scarring of the newly created ostium. This outcome is caused by the continued activity of myofibroblasts that leads to the formation of a rough scar. Mitomycin C is currently considered to be the most preferred anti-fibrotic drug. Nonetheless, contradictory evidence of the drug efficiency stimulates further research for finding alternative anti-fibro-tic therapeutics. Recently, several advances were made in developing new anti-fibrotic drugs, including monoclonal antibodies, small RNA molecules, and other gene therapy formulations, nanoparticles and small-molecule therapeutics. This review article aims to provide up-to-date information on the efficacy of mentioned agents and on prospects of their use in dacryology.

The radiation has an antitumor effect and causes radiation reactions and damage to surrounding tissues within the framework of combined antitumor treatment of patients with cancer of maxillofacial region. It also has an irreversible effect on the production of saliva by large and small salivary glands, and this must be taken into account when planning radiation therapy for this group of patients.

To perform a budget impact analysis of a novel antiretroviral drug elsulfavirine (ESV) compared with currently used medical technologies. Materials and methods. The pharmacoeconomic model was based on the studies of efficacy and safety of two non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors: ESV and rilpivirine (RPV) combined with standard basic tenofovir/ emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) therapy for 48 weeks. The studies were performed in similar clinical settings. The budget impact analysis assessed only direct medical costs of antiretroviral drugs within the chosen strategies of first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART). Results. It was shown that the treatment of ART-naive HIV patients with ESV is associated with 61,234.88 RUB less costs per patient in a 48-week course compared with RPV treatment. The analyzed values of cost effectiveness were lower for ESV strategy than for the strategy with the use of RPV. It makes ESV a more cost-efficient option within the developed model. Conclusion. The use of ESV is a preferable strategy of a first-line treatment of HIV. It is associated with less financial costs and more preferable cost effectiveness rate.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction often causes nonspecific low back pain; the efficiency of its treatment is discussed to be exhibited by therapeutic blockades with anesthetics and glucocorticoids (GCs) or by SIJ radiofrequency denervation (RFD). Objective: to investigate the efficiency and safety of therapeutic blockades with anesthetics and GCs, or SIJ RFD in the combination therapy of chronic low back pain due to SIJ injury. Patients and methods. The investigation enrolled 51 patients (36 women and 15 men) aged 32 to 75 years (mean age, 56.4±2.1 years). Group 1 included 32 patients (mean age, 51.75±2.65 years) who used periarticular blockades with local anesthetics and GCs; Group 2 consisted of 19 patients (mean age, 64.1±2.8 years) who underwent SIJ RFD. Results and discussion. These treatments showed high efficiency and safety. Three months after a treatment cycle, there were reductions in the intensity of pain (by an average of 47%; p<0.0001) and in the degree of disability and improvements in the physical and psychological parameters of quality of life. There were no substantial differences in the health status of patients in the two groups treated with blockades with anesthetics and GCs or SIJ RFD. Conclusion. It has been shown that the incorporation of blockades with anesthetics and GCs or SIJ RFD into the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain can improve the results of therapy.

In-depth study of the function and structure of the lymphoid tissue of the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract opens wide opportunities for the use of mucosal vaccines to improve immunity to various infectious agents. One such drug is The immunovac-VP4 vaccine containing pathogen-associated molecular structures (PAMSs) of microorganisms. They are the antigens of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus. Discovered in many studies and experiments, the ability of the vaccine to induce innate immunity provides opportunities for prevention and treatment of both infections and allergic diseases, because it promotes the switching of Th2 immune response to Th1. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of the complex use of bacterial therapeutic vaccine Immunovac-VP4 and allergen-specific immune therapy (ASIT) in pollinosis in children and adults. Materials and methods. Bacterial therapeutic vaccine Immunovac-VP4 was used annually, nasal and oral administration in patients before the course of ASIT standardized aqueous-salt solutions of allergens. Results. The therapeutic application of bacterial vaccines, Immunoac-ÂÏ4 before the course ASIT has helped to reduce the frequency of acute respiratory infections in 8,5 times in comparison with the control group. Clinical efficacy of complex treatment according to the results of the survey of patients in 7 years after the start of therapy was 90%. There was a significant decrease In IgG4 to causally significant allergens, General immnunoglobulin E (IgE) and a tendency to decrease IgE. Conclusion. The use of bacterial therapeutic vaccine Immunovac-VP4, which is a natural ligand of toll-like receptors in combination with ASIT, seems to be an effective and promising direction in the treatment of allergic diseases.

At present, compelling evidence has been obtained that combined therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with specific drugs can significantly slow progression of PAH. Therefore, in current guidelines combination therapy is already considered as standard treatment for a significant proportion of patients with moderately severe and severe forms of PAH. However, the quality of life and long-term prognosis of patients receiving combination therapy, should be the object of further research. The future research is absolutely necessary to identify the most optimal strategy of treatment of patients with PAH, such as initial combination therapy or rapid sequential combination therapy, double or triple combinations as well as exploring new signaling pathways PAH, which can become targets for new specific drugs PAH.

A literature review provided, on the usage of various schemes of perioperational anticoagulation therapy (ACT) in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing scheduled surgery. It is noted that clinicians quite often pass through a situation when patients taking ACT require invasive investigations and surgery. Perioperational management of such category of patients is complicated as, on the one hand, the surgery under ACT is associated with intraoperational hemorrhagic complications, and, on the other hand, ACT cessation might increase the risk of thrombotic complications. The variants assessed, of different periprocedural ACT in patients taking vitamin K antagonists. It was found that as an alternative to continuous ACT recently, bridge therapy with low molecular weight heparins applied, aiming the decrease of the risk of bleeding in adequate thromboprophylaxis. The results of clinical trials provided on the assessment of bridge therapy in surgery. Risk stratification approaches presents for thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications in surgery.

Ischemic heart disease and stroke lead in the structure of mortality from cardiovascular diseases. The issues of lipid-lowering therapy with statins in the aspect of stroke prevention are discussed in the article. The main risk factors of atherosclerosis and their prevalence are presented. Topical standards for statin use, evidence-based medicine data obtained in randomized clinical trials, and evidence from actual clinical practice are covered. Possible promising areas of statin use for the prevention of acute cerebrovascular accident are also considered. Combination therapy together with other lipid-lowering drugs, as well as drugs of other pharmacological groups, the use of statins from earlier ages, the practical implementation of pleiotropic effects of statins can be attributed to the latter. The authors clearly demonstrate that the actual practice of using statins lags significantly behind the ideal, reflected in the recommendations and randomized clinical trials. Adherence to medical recommendations is one of the key factors in this. The main factors that can influence the increase of adherence of patients to taking statins and increase the effectiveness of their application in real clinical practice are presented..

The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that despite the numerous available health-training programs for body weight loss, there is still need for development of new forms of physical training and ways of motivation. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the efficiency of dance therapy for body weight loss and improvement of physiological and functional state in young women with overweight. Materials and Methods. The study enrolled 82 students from Sechenov University with overweight and first-degree obesity. Forty two girls took exercises within individual health-training programs for 9 months. The programs were based on aerobic activity, including dance therapy. Forty students were engaged in physical training within the curriculum of the university. Before, during and after the training course the authors evaluated the components of body composition; functional state and psycho-emotional status. Results. The final tests showed significant excessive body weight loss in students in the main group due to fat mass reduction by 20%; increase of physical performance by 24.5%; self-confidence level growth by 24%. Conclusion: The results of the study confirmed that dance therapy is an effective type of physical training with high motivational component for excessive body weight loss in young women. This fact is proved by significant positive dynamics of the majority of morphofunctional and psychological parameters in students in the main. The materials of the article are of practical value for specialists in physical rehabilitation, general practice doctors, PT tutors and advisors on healthy way of life and public health.

Immunosuppressive therapy aimed at the prevention of acute allograft rejection is the cornerstone of post-transplant management. In addition to its direct effects, immunosuppressive therapy is also involved in the generation of a number of post-transplant morbidities that limit the long-term outcome of heart transplant recipients. Given these data it appears that the individual tailoring of immunosuppressive therapy is of paramount importance in determining the outcome of heart transplantation. The goal of immunosuppressive therapy is to prevent rejection of the transplanted heart, while minimizing drug-related effects, such as infection, malignancy, diabetes, hypertension, and renal insuffi ciency. This review aimed is to analyze the protocols for the appointment of immunosuppressive therapy in various groups of recipients after heart transplantation.

The objective: To optimize a tactics of examination and treatment of patients with a benign cervical pathology associated with papillomavirus infection (PVI) in female patients of reproductive age. Patients and methods: 124 patients aged 22 to 35 years underwent complex examination and treatment. Two groups were singled out: the first (main) group included 72 patients, who in the postoperative period received treatment with an antiviral immunostimulating drug isoprinosine, the second group comprised 52 patients, who did not receive the antiviral medication (control group). Inosine pranobex (isoprinosine) was administered 3 g/day (2 tablets 3 times daily) for 28 days. A carbon dioxide (CO2) laser and argon plasma were used to destroy the affected uterine cervical epithelium. Results: The Pap test found various pathological changes in 112 (90.3%) patients. ASCUS smear results had similar incidence rates in the groups 16 and 18% (p > 0.05). The incidence of LSIL in the groups was 31.9 and 32.6%, respectively (p > 0.05). In the basic group, 60 days afterwards complete elimination of virus was noted in 95.8% of cases; in the control group in 78.8%. The frequency of HPV infection recurrence among patients with complete virus elimination was 2.9% in the basic group, in the control group - 14.6%. Conclusion: The employment of the surgical stage permits to destroy pathological tissue, deactivate virus at the local level and prepare conditions for deactivation of virus in the body. Postoperative antiviral and immunostimulating therapy not only ensures practically complete elimination of virus but also reduces recurrences of PVI.

The aim of the review is presenting the possibilities and perspectives of the third generation of thienopyridine P2Y12 receptor inhibitor prasugrel in the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The main pathogenetic stage of ACS is intracoronary thrombosis, which develops on the surface of a damaged atherosclerotic plaque. The use of acetylsalicylic acid with addition of the second antiplatelet agent, so-called dual antiplatelet therapy, is a standard component in the treatment of any type of ACS, regardless of reperfusion and the selected treatment strategy. Due to some limitations in the use of clopidogrel as the second component of dual antiplatelet therapy, the possibility of prasugrel or ticagrelor usage should be considered in patients with ACS with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Prasugrel therapy is associated with better clinical outcomes as compared with clopidogrel therapy in moderate or high-risk patients who undergo PCI. Because of higher bleeding risk and the lack of clinical benefits in special subgroups of patients, prasugrel must not be used in patients with a stroke or transient ischemic attack in the past. If, after a thorough individual benefit-risk assessment a decision is in favor of prescribing prasugrel to the patient older than 75 years or with a small body weight the maintenance dose of prasugrel is to be reduced by half. Real clinical practice data has shown that with following these recommendations prasugrel demonstrates optimal efficacy, safety, and even more significant impact on the prognosis than this in clinical trials. Prasugrel is able to reduce significantly the incidence of cardiovascular events such as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with ACS who undergo PCI.
