Abstract

Tis review describes different virus taxa that are more prevalent in some variants of urological pathology. Te search of articles was conducted in the information portals of Te Cochrane Database, MEDLINE / PubMed Database, eLIBRARY, ClinicalKey for the period 2008-2018. As a result, the most current and representative studies, containing an interpretation of the dynamics of opinions indicating the involvement of viruses in various urological diseases were selected. Te bacterial component is the most studied in the etiology and pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, but the viral component, as a rule, remains outside the scope of routine examination of patients, which stagnates conducting of adequate therapy and prevention of infectious and inflammatory diseases in urology.

Abstract

Objective: to characterize the efcacy of nelfnavir and lopinavir/ritonavir in the starting regimens of antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected pediatric patients.

Materials and methods: 50 HIV-infected patients aged 24-36 months were treated with abacavir and lamivudine in combination with nelfnavir (24 children) or lopinavir/ritonavir (26 patients).

Results: Using both antiretroviral therapy schemes leads to suppression of HIV replication, improvement of clinical and immunological parameters. However, the treatment with lopinavir/ritonavir revealed a signifcant positive changes of HIV blood viral load, immune status and clinical picture. With the help of mathematical modeling, the signifcance of lopinavir/ritonavir appointment as an independent predictor of effectiveness prolongation of antiretroviral therapy has been proved. As a side effect of lopinavir/ritonavir developed dyspeptic symptoms.

Conclusion: Te results of the study indicate the high efcacy and safety of lopinavir/ritonavir use compared to nelfnavir in HIV-infected pediatric patients.

Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the possibilities of normobaric hypoxic training (NHT) in the human brain protection from the damaging effects of oxygen defciency.

Materials and methods: the study involved 18 men, aged 19-23 years, who underwent NHT: 15 treatments daily 2-hour stay in a hypoxic gas medium (HGM) having an oxygen content 15.0 ± 0.5% (HGM-15). Beforestarting the NHT (I phase), and afer 1-2 days afer its closure (II stage) were carried hypoxic samples (staying in HGM-15) before and during which the subjects were recorded the electroencephalogram (EEG) and mental performance were evaluated (the «Route» test).

Results: when the frst hypoxic test was carried out, the subjects had a decrease in the alpha-rhythm index (on average by 10-15 %, p = 0.013) and its amplitude (by 10-12 %, p = 0.044) compared to the usual environmental conditions. At the same time, the share of low-amplitude slow waves increased (p = 0.019). Te integral indicator of the «Route» test during staying of the subjects in the HGM-15 decreased on average by 18% compared to the usual conditions (p <0.001). Te obtained data testifed about negative influence of staying in HGM -15 on the functioning of the higher parts of the brain. Afer carrying out NHT, all subjects showed a signifcant reduction in the negative reactions of spontaneous EEG to hypoxia: when the sample was repeated, the alpha-rhythm index and its amplitude did not change signifcantly (in comparison with air breathing), signs of excessive slow wave activity were absent. Reduction of the integral indicator of mental performance when staying in HGM-15 amounted to an average of only 6%.

Conclusions: NHT in the developed regime is an effective means of the brain protection from the damaging effect of oxygen defciency and can be used in the system of physiological training of specialists to perform tasks of activity in conditions of reduced partial pressure of oxygen.

Abstract

Objective: to determine the effect of the initial comorbid burden in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) and resectable liver metastases on the development of postoperative complications, depending on the use of laparoscopic or standard open operations.

Materials and Methods: the study included 311 patients with verifed metastatic CRC T3-4N1-2M1 and resectable metastases in the liver. Depending on the organization of the surgical treatment, the patients were divided into two groups: the main group (n=161) performed laparoscopic surgical interventions and a control group (n=150) of patients with the same pathology who underwent traditional open operations. Te comorbidity was assessed by the Charlins comorbidity index, the risk of cardiovascular complications according to Goldman, the adjusted Lee index. Te effect of comorbidity on postoperative complications was studied by the method of constructing conjugacy tables.

Results: in patients with metastatic RTC in class IV of the risk of cardiovascular complications according to Goldman and high cardiovascular risk in the Lee index, open surgical interventions had an advantage over laparoscopic surgery because of the risk of life-threatening cardiopulmonary pathology. In the I-III class of the risk of cardiovascular complications according to Goldman and low, as well as intermediate cardiovascular risk in Lee, the laparoscopic operations were not accompanied by an increased risk of postoperative cardiovascular complications and were accompanied, in addition to the traditional advantages of minor trauma, by reducing the complications associated with removal oncological drug, as well as infectious wound complications in the place of surgical intervention. Conclusion: when deciding whether to perform laparoscopic interventions in patients with metastatic CRC and resectable metastases in the liver, it is necessary to assess the comorbid load on the Goldman and Lee index before the operation.

Abstract

Clinical observation of a patient with a paraneoplastic polyneuropathy, associated with ovarian cancer, is presented. A feature of this case is its relative rarity. Stages of development of neurological disorders in combination with laboratory diagnostics data led to the need for oncological search, which resulted in the detection of ovarian cancer. Te histological diagnosis is confrmed by immunohistochemical method. Malignant tumor was detected one year afer the appearance of the frst signs of sensory polyneuropathy, which confrms the paraneoplastic nature of neurological disorders. A timely treatment for a malignant tumor can lead to the stabilization of neurological symptoms.
