© 2018 by the authors; licensee Modestum Ltd., UK. Objective: Cognitive impairments (CIs) appear to be commonly encountered in patients with arterial hypertension (AH). Hence, our study was aimed at examining the frequency of cognitive impairments (CIs) in the physician’s outpatient practice, as well as at determining clinical and instrumental peculiarities of the course of AH in patients with and without CIs. Method: We carried out comprehensive examination of three hundred and fifty 50-to-80-year-old hypertensive patients followed up in the setting of a polyclinic and tested by means of neuropsychological scales (MMSE, Mini-Cog test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), duplex scanning of extracranial vessels, and magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) of the brain. Results: The findings of neuropsychological testing demonstrated the presence of CIs in 83.5% of hypertensive patients, with CIs reaching the level of dementia in 16.9% and being combined with depressive symptoms in 40.3%. Hypertensive patients with CIs as compared with those without CIs were found to have more pronounced lesions to white matter of the brain: periventricular (71.1%) and/or subcortical (15.8%) leukoaraiosis. Subcortical leukoaraiosis of the frontal lobes of the brain was associated with an elevated level of systolic arterial pressure (SAP). It was confirmed that impaired circadian rhythm of AP with stable persistence of nocturnal hypertension resulted in the most pronounced structural and morphological damage of the brain. Conclusion: High incidence of CIs in hypertensive patients has been confirmed. Structural and morphological impairments of strategically important regions of the brain (subcortical leukoaraiosis of the frontal lobes) in hypertensive patients with CIs were associated with elevated SAP.

© Bionika Media Ltd. The author has carried out a systems analysis of the data available in the current literature on the participation of vitamin D in the physiology of bone metabolism, the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, and the possibilities of osteoporosis therapy with active vitamin D metabolites. The paper describes the mechanisms of vitamin D participation in the processes of bone metabolism and calcium homeostasis. It presents the effects of vitamin D on connective and muscle tissues. Its deficiency is shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and in the increased risk of low-trauma fractures. There are clinical trial findings that confirm the possibility of using active vitamin D metabolites for the therapy of osteoporosis and for the prevention of low-trauma fractures. Active vitamin D metabolites used alone or in combination with antiresorptive therapy for osteoporosis is an effective measure to prevent low-trauma fractures and can be prescribed for menopausal osteoporosis.

© 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Background: Mesenchymal dysplasias or inherited connective tissue diseases are the group of diseases with deficiency of various components of connective tissue. Connective tissue disorders can affect different organs: skeleton, sight organ, skin, lungs, heart. But the most dangerous is vascular wall insufficiency leading to high risk of hemorrhage, especially during pregnancy and delivery due to hemodynamic and hormonal effects on the walls of the modified vessels. Aim: To evaluate the risk of complications during the pregnancy and delivery in patients with mesenchymal dysplasias. Study design: Fifty-six pregnancies in patients with mesenchymal dysplasias, including subclinical forms of diseases: 23 with Marfan syndrome (I group), 22 with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (II group), and 11 with Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia) (III group) of the age from 18 to 36. The study included retrospective analysis (for the period from 1993 to 2005) and prospective study. Results of study showed high risk of life-threatening complications during pregnancy and delivery, especially the risk of hemorrhage and cardiovascular complications. In all the patients, we observed the progression of bleeding or development of bleeding in new localizations (epistaxis in 27 patients, easy brushing in 22, skin and mucosa telangiectasia in 20, gastrointestinal bleedings in 4, hemoptysis in 4, hematomas for minor traumas in 14, conjunctivas hemorrhages in 5). Conclusion: The pathogenesis of bleeding in such patients has mixed pattern: besides vascular wall pathology coagulation deficiency plays some role. The preferred delivery method for such patients is caesarean section. Deep vaginal ruptures and serious hemorrhage accompany vaginal delivery.

© 2018 Russian Electronic Journal of Radiology. All rights reserved. Some pathologic processes compromise renal function and as result worsen glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) equation was developed in an effort to create a more correct formula to estimate GFR, however, it is not able to assess split renal function. Objective. This paper aims to present how numerical analysis of abdominal multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) results correlate with data of CKD-EPI equation. Materials and methods. In this Institutional prospective cohort study, MSCT scans of 16 patients undergoing multiphasic renal protocol with 3D-reconstruction and numerical estimation were reviewed. Comparison was made by means of Pearson coefficient and Youden index. Results. MSCT-based methods for the calculation of split renal function with 3Dmodels showed strong correlation with CKD-EPI (p<0.001). Conclusion. Data received using the 3D-MSCT in comparison with CKD-EPI equation are equally accurate with low bias in GFR-assessment. However new approach has great advantages, because allows for both acquiring detailed data on clinical anatomy and evaluation of renal function, that made it not only precise but also more informative for decision-making in clinical practice. Such application of high-tech imaging method applied to the field of radiology may alter the course of patients' management when pathologic process is just beginning to correct premorbid conditions.

© 2018, Media Sphera Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Differential diagnosis of migraine, can be difficult, especially of migraine with aura. On the one hand, some diseases can produce symptoms similar to migraine (cerebral aneurysm before rupture, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome). On the other hand, migraine with aura and some other disorders are conditions that have common pathophysiological mechanisms (e.g., CADASIL and MELAS syndrome, antiphospholipid syndrome). Thirdly, clinical presentations of migraine are often difficult to distinguish from features of other headache conditions (migraine with aura - transient ischemic attack, migraine with visual aura - occipital epilepsy). The author discusses the differential diagnosis of acute headache, especially thunderclap headache, and main strategies of effective treatment of migraine attacks.

The aim of this study is to conduct several non-invasive methods for assessing the level of circulatory disturbance, elasticity and aging of skin in patients of different age groups in order to expand the diagnostic capabilities and evaluate the effectiveness of current research in aesthetic medicine. Clinical and instrumental exploration of 160 women aged 17 to 75 years with varying degrees of involutional skin changes was carried out. To objectify the assessment of skin condition, in all group of patients modern instrumental methods were used, such as: elastometry, ultrasound examination of the skin, laser Doppler flowmetry, transcutaneous oxygen tension. Concurrent implementation of several non-invasive methods for assessing the level of circulatory disturbance, elasticity and aging of the skin, allowed us to find new possibilities for studying the functional state of the skin. These methods extend the possibilities of ultrasonic research methods used today in aesthetic cosmetology. The obtained comparative data of elastometry, ultrasonography, laser Doppler flowmetry and transcutaneous oximetry in patients of different age groups showed the presence of elasticity and structure defect, skin thickness and subcutaneous fat, as well as microcirculation changes since 25 years and marked changes after 40 years.

© VV Romanova, YA Shulatov. During the Korean War (1950–1953), China and North Korea accused the US of waging bacteriological warfare, including the use of biological weapons developed Japanese war criminals from Unit 731, who had been convicted during the Khabarovsk Trials in 1949. The Soviet Union did not immediately join in the allegation campaign against the Allies, with the Soviet Foreign Ministry initially taking a restrained stance. However, with Moscow’s backing and active involvement in international orga-nisations and the media, a powerful propaganda campaign was unleashed against American-led UN troops in Korea, as well as the political leadership of the US. The campaign was markedly political in nature and it involved many prominent individuals, including public figures from Western countries. An extensive action plan was developed, although its implementation was incoherent, which was a reflection of both the lack of evidence and a rapidly changing international environment. The article demonstrates how the Soviet stance on the use of biological warfare during the Korean War changed and reveals how the extensive campaign was launched amid the Cold War.

Copyright: © 2018 Sapelnikov et al. This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Mitral valve disease, including dysfunction of the mitral valve, is often accompanied by atrial fibrillation. Among the patients with prosthetic mitral valves, atrial fibrillation occurs in 30-50% cases. Development of atrial arrhythmias and incisional tachycardia in the early and late postoperative periods can significantly influence patients' rehabilitation and prognosis. Our clinical case describes a patient with a mechanical mitral valve and incisional tachycardia, which led to progression of heart failure and reduced left ventricular systolic function. The patient underwent catheter ablation with non-invasive myocardium mapping. The case reveals the potentials of treatment of incisional tachycardia and atrial fibrillation, which do not respond to drug therapy. Modern methods of visualization enable the cardiac surgeons to reduce possible intraoperative risks and development of complications in this group of patients.

However, there are reports of some cases of major hemorrhagic complications associated with rivaroxaban that significantly impair the patients' quality of life and can lead to a fatality. Personalized therapy, including pharmacogenetic testing, may help prevent such adverse events. This study aimed to investigate how ABCB1 3435C>T (rs1045642) and CYP3A5 6986A>G (rs776746) gene polymorphisms, when carried by a patient taking rivaroxaban to prevent thrombosis after total hip or knee replacement surgery, affect prothrombin time (PT). Sixty-five patients participated in the study. Their genotypes were identified by PCR in real time. To learn PT peculiar to each patient, we collected venous blood on the 5 th day of their anticoagulation therapy, 1 hour before they took rivaroxaban and 3 hours after. Having calculated %∆PT, we divided the patients into 2 groups: 1) %∆PT ≤ 0 (n = 7; 10.8%); 2) %∆PT > 0 (n = 58; 89.2%). Regarding the distribution of rs1045642 polymorphism, we determined the difference between the groups to be statistically significant (χ 2 = 6.64; p = 0.027). As for rs776746 polymorphism, the difference was insignificant (χ 2 = 0.101; p = 1.0). We discovered that rs1045642 polymorphism has a significant effect on PT variance in patients taking rivaroxaban to prevent thrombosis after total hip or knee replacement surgery.

The aim of the study was to prove the anatomical and clinical effectiveness of the modified anesthesia of mental nerve. The effectiveness of conductive anesthesia near the mental foramen was objectively evaluated using the electric pulp test (EPT) in 100 volunteers of both sexes, aged 35-43 years. Wet anterior mandible preparations obtained from 350 cadavers aged 18-74 years were also studied. EPT value after local mental anesthesia conducted according to Malamed C. using 4% articain solution of local anesthetic with vasoconstrictor concentration of 1:200.000 after 2 minutes was 93±0.82 mA, after 4 minutes - 188±1.26 mA. Yield variability indicators of intraosseous mental nerve anesthesia was slightly higher varying from 94.11 mA to 96.61 mA after 2 minutes and from 197.4 to 199.92 mA after 4 minutes survey. The study showed the efficiency and predictability of intraosseous anesthesia of the mental nerve.

Flavonoids are herbal medicines and widely used for chronic venous diseases and hemorrhoids. Flavonoid diosmin in both micronized and non-micronized form is a part of various drugs. According to literature data, flavonoids are able to reduce venous stasis, suppress local inflammation, improve venous tone and lymphatic outflow. It should be noted that biological models of in vivo trials have certain limitations while available data of different researches are contradictory. However, flavonoids were recommended for hemorrhoids in view of meta-analysis of 14 trials comparing flavonoids (diosmin, micronized purified flavonoid fraction and rutosides) with placebo in 1514 patients with hemorrhoids and Cochrane review of 24 randomized controlled trials (2,334 participants). These drugs should be administered as a part of complex therapy. At the same time, there is no conclusive evidence to prefer only one of these medicines. There are also no data confirming the benefits of daily dosage of 3000 mg per day of micronized fraction of flavonoids compared with 1800 mg of purified diosmin per day for treatment of acute hemorrhoids.

© 2018, Dynasty Publishing House. All rights reserved. The objective. Assessment of the practice of breastfeeding support in a department of neonatal and premature infant pathology of the Tambov Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital (TRCCH) after 3–4 years of becoming a WHO/UNICEF Baby Friendly Hospital. Patients and methods. Mothers were questioned using specially designed questionnaires at their admission to the department and at discharge from hospital. Overall, 356 mothers were questioned at admission and 327 at discharge. The results were processed on the SPSS.19 statistical programme. Frequency distribution, mean values (± standard deviation) and Student’s t-coefficient were determined. Results. The practice of supporting breastfeeding in the department consisted in observance of the 10 steps of successful breastfeeding: mother and infant remaining together (98.2%), breastfeeding on an infant’s demand (91.3%), breastfeeding at night (98.6%), breast milk extraction for infant feeding and lactation stimulation (88.6%), informing mothers about the benefits and technique of breastfeeding (90.5%). The percentage of breastfed infants significantly increased by the time of discharge from the department – to 89.4% (at admission – 71.9%; p < 0.0001), among them exclusively breastfed infants – to 66.5% (at admission – 45.3%; p < 0.0001). Conclusion. The practice of breastfeeding based on current international recommendations is successfully supported in the neonatal department of TRCCH. Nevertheless, breastfeeding parameters might be considerably improved due to attainment of continuity in the work of maternity clinics and TRCCH and optimization of the practices of breast milk extraction, storage and use in the department.

© 2018 Media Sphera Publishing Group.All right reserved. Objective. This study aimed to assess the cognitive functions and cerebral blood flow measured with arterial spin labeling (ASL) and their possible correlations with vascular age in untreated middle-aged patients with grade 1-2 essential arterial hypertension (EAH). Methods. We examined 73 subjects aged 40-59 years (33 with EAH and 40 healthy volunteers [controls]). Neuropsychological assessment included Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Trail Making test (part A and part B), Stroop Color and Word Test, verbal fluency test (phonemic verbal fluency and semantic verbal fluency), 10-item word list learning task. All subjects underwent brain MRI. MRI protocol included ASL. Vascular age was calculated by two techniques-using Framingham Heart Study risk tables and SCORE project scales. Results. Patients with EAH had lower performance on phonemic verbal fluency test and lower mean MoCA score (29.2±1.4 vs. 28.1±1.7 points) compared to controls (13.4±3.2, p=0.002; 29.2±1.4, p=0.001, respectively). White matter hyperintensities (WMH) were present in 7.5 % controls and in 51.5 % EAH patients (p=0.0002). Cerebral blood flow (CBF) in EAH patients was lower in both right (39.1±5.6 vs. 45.8±3.2 ml/100 g/min) and left frontal lobes of the brain (39.2±6.2 45.2±3.6 ml/100 g/min, respectively) compared to controls (p<0.001). EAH patients without WMH had lower CBF compared to controls (right frontal lobe: 39.5±5.1 ml/100 g/min, p=0.0002; left frontal lobe: 38.9±4.3 ml/100 g/min, p=0.00002). In EAH patients vascular age (57.7±7.4 and 64.6±11.0 years as measured by SCORE project scales and Framingham Heart Study risk tables, respectively) was significantly (p<0.001) greater than chronological one (50.2±6.2 years) and was significantly (p<0.001) higher than the corresponding values in the control group. Correlation analysis revealed negative significant associations between vascular age and MoCA score, phonemic verbal fluency test score and CBF. Conclusions. Treatment-naive middle-aged patients with uncomplicated grade 1-2 EAH compared to normotensive controls have lower mean scores in phonemic fluency test and MoCA, lower CBF, even in the absence of WMH, which correlates with vascular age, particularly with the value calculated by Framingham Heart Study risk tables. Early vascular ageing is important factor of brain impairment in hypertension in middle-aged patients even at early stages of EAH.
