Most cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are of atherosclerotic origin, and lipid disorders play significant role, setting up the cardiovascular continuum, together with other risk factors. It also known that decrease of low density lipoproteins cholesterol (CLDL) level leads to decreased occurrence of CVDs in primary and secondary prevention of the diseases. Statins, at the moment, are a standard of medical care. However, two problems remain on the way to cardiovascular risk reduction — insufficient statins prescription and low rate of archived target levels of cholesterol and CLDL. In the end of October 2017, by the initiative of Sandoz LLC, in Kazan an educational seminar was conducted, where the representatives from 12 regions discussed the issues on statin therapy adherence improvement. Seminar program included lectures, practical interactive events and general discussion. As a specifics of the seminar, the participants not only listened to lectures, but prepared proposals in interactive regimen, discussed them with the colleagues, presented and defended projects. So, every participant was merged into the problem and directly influenced the discussion. Among the participants were internists, cardiologists, neurologists. Seminar vector was directed to revealing and overcoming such barriers for statin adherence as the socalled barriers of consent, understanding and availability, that depend on clinician as well as patient and healthcare system. Also the issues were discussed on the Internet influence on “antistatin” behavior, that prefers “good” bioactive compounds for “vile” statins.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare disease characterized by various clinical patterns: from isolated lung lesions to severe involvement of other organs. This clinical case demonstrates a rare combination of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Guillain—Barre syndrome due to possible common mechanisms of the disease development mediated by the CD1A expression.
медицинский исследовательский центр профилактической медицины" Минздрава России. Москва; 2 ФГБОУ ВО "Ульяновский государственный университет". Ульяновск, Россия Авторы высказывают мнение о проблеме терминологии сочетанной патологии в современной клинической практике. Рассматриваются термины "коморбидность", "мультиморбидность", "двойной диа гноз" с точки зрения концептуальных различий. Обсуждаются вопросы диагностики, классификации и современные клинические рекомендации для больных с сочетанной патологией. Учитывая разно образие терминологии и неоднозначность смысловой состав ляющей при обсуждении проблемы коморбидности/мультимор бидности, представляется оправданным для медицинской общест венности прийти к единому мнению в вопросах терминологии, а также классификации и диагностики, что позволит избежать ошибок и разногласий между врачами различных специальностей.
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.
