Background: Patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in countries with limited resources have, to date, been poorly represented in registries.

Objective: This work assesses the epidemiology, diagnosis, hemodynamic and functional parameters, and treatment of CTEPH in Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A prospective, cohort, phase IV, observational registry with 3-year follow-up (n = 212) in patients aged ≥ 18 years diagnosed with CTEPH was created.

Background: Azerbaijan currently ranks thirteenth in global incidence of human brucellosis, with an estimated annual incidence through 2000 at over 50 cases per million. Brucella melitensis has been isolated from patients and is thought to have been acquired through contact with small ruminants or as a foodborne infection. To reduce the burden of human brucellosis, the Azerbaijani government began in 2002, a nationwide vaccination control campaign in small ruminants.

Aim    To evaluate the incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACVE) in the long-term following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCCI) in patients with acute and chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD) and the contribution of concurrent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to the long-term prediction.Material and methods    This prospective cohort study included 254 patients with IHD and concurrent COPD and 392 patients with IHD without COPD. PCCI was performed in all patients: for acute coronary syndrome in 295 patients and for chronic IHD in 351 patients.

Brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis is endemic in the Republic of Azerbaijan but a complex mix of fiscal, political and technical constraints has impeded regulatory authority decision making for adoption of a sustainable national control programme. This paper reports a series of epidemiologic studies of the disease in animals and humans which we conducted between 2009 and 2020. A preliminary study and a subsequent larger study using vaccination of all non-pregnant female sheep and goats of breeding age and all females between 3 and 8 months with conjunctival Rev1 vaccine both recorded significant reduction in small ruminant seroprevalences.

Objective: to assess the effect of lung hyperinflation (LHI) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on longterm outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Materials And Methods: Patients with COPD who suffered stable ischemic heart disease and underwent PCI (n=135) were included in a prospective cohort study. LHI was found in 60 patients, while 75 patients had no LHI.
