The authors performed an analysis of published stadies devoted to osteoporosis situation in Russian Federation including epidemiological, social, medical and economical aspects of this pathology. The analysis demonstrated that osteoporosis is reported in every third woman and every forth man of 50 years old and older. Seven vertebra fractures happen every minute and one fracture of proximal femur-every 5 minutes in Russia. an overall number of all key osteoporotic fractures will increase from 590 thousand up to 730 thousand cases by the year 2035. Osteoporosis is financially demanding for healthcare due to high treatment cost of fractures that are accompanied by life quality deterioration, high mortality and invalidization of patients. epidemiological studies demonstrated that due to high fracture risk the osteoporosis therapy should be assigned to 31% of female and 4% of male patients over 50 years old. Such factors of osteoporosis risks are widespread in the society: smoking, low food calcium consumption, vitamin d deficit, low physical activity. The authors analyzed the problems in organization of medical care to patients with osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures and possible solutions to existing issues. The organization of healthcare should be addressed at identification of high risk patient groups, early diagnosis and assignment of corresponding treatment aimed at decreasing potential fracture risk as well as at pathology prophylaxis.
This article discusses some regional features of the structure of dental morbidity in patients with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. The relationship between these diseases is shown. It is stated that there is a lack of awareness of the existing dentition diseases in this sort of patients
Based on the analysis of 308 electronic medical records of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19, the features of the course of cardiovascular diseases at the regional level were studied. It was found that in patients with cardiovascular diseases, the severity of the course and mortality are higher than in patients without cardiac pathology.
Immunological disorders were studied in 68 patients with herpesvirus infections (41 women and 27 men) aged 18 to 55 years. All patients were examined clinically, also laboratory tests were conducted during the period of exacerbation and clinical remission. Patients with herpesvirus infections showed a significant decrease in the relative number of CD3+, CD4+ T-lymphocytes and their subpopulations during exacerbation of herpes infection. A decrease in the content of CD 3+, CD4+ T-cells during exacerbation of the disease was associated with an increase in CD8+ T-lymphocytes. The immunoregulatory index also decreased. The relative number of CD19+ B cells significantly increased in the exacerbation stage. During the period of remission, the number of CD19+ lymphocytes decreased, remaining above the normal range in patients with severe disease. Studies have shown that patients with herpesvirus infections have immunopathological disorders both during the relapse period and during the remission period, which must be taken into account when treating these patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
