Comparing the Incidence of Propranolol and Esmolol-Related Cardiac Arrest in Patients With Thyroid Storm: A Systematic Literature Review.

A precarious complication of thyrotoxicosis, or thyroid storm, is the increased risk of cardiomyopathy, which leads to circulatory collapse and cardiopulmonary arrest. It is crucial to promptly identify this condition to prevent significant deterioration of the left ventricular function and cardiogenic shock. This article seeks to examine published research that emphasizes the connection between thyroid storm and beta-blocker usage in relation to cardiogenic collapse and provides management recommendations.

Common Sleep Disorders in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review on What They Are and How We Should Treat Them.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes various complications that significantly impact a patient's overall well-being and quality of life. Sleep disorders are a particularly common issue, especially in patients with advanced disease. This systematic review aims to explore the distinguishing features, prevalence rates, underlying causes, and associated factors related to the most frequent sleep disorders in these patients and present the latest treatment methods for them.

A Systematic Review of the Association of Internet Gaming Disorder and Excessive Social Media Use With Psychiatric Comorbidities in Children and Adolescents: Is It a Curse or a Blessing?

Internet gaming and social media usage (SMU), particularly among children and teenagers, have witnessed a remarkable surge over the past decade. However, it remains uncertain whether this widespread usage has a positive or negative impact. The primary objective of this systematic review was to investigate the diverse effects of excessive video game playing and extensive SMU, both favorable and detrimental, on the psychological and mental well-being of children and adolescents.

A Systematic Review: Do the Use of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence Improve Patient Outcomes in Acute Myocardial Ischemia Compared to Clinician-Only Approaches?

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) present a significant global health challenge and remain a primary cause of death. Early detection and intervention are crucial for improved outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases. Artificial intelligence (AI) can detect heart disease early by analyzing patient information and electrocardiogram (ECG) data, providing invaluable insights into this critical health issue.

World's First Experience of the Low-Dose Radionuclide Inhalation Therapy in the Treatment of COVID-19-Associated Viral Pneumonia: Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial.

Objective: Previously, low-dose radiation therapy was used for pneumonia treatment. We aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of carbon nanoparticles labeled with Technetium isotope (Tc) in a form of ultradispersed aerosol in combination with standard COVID-19 therapy. The study was a randomized phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trial of low-dose radionuclide inhalation therapy for patients with COVID-19 related pneumonia.

Differences between chemical element contents in hyperplastic and nonhyperplastic prostate glands investigated by neutron activation analysis.

In order to clarify the differences between Ag, Br, Ca, Co, Cr, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, and Zn contents in hyperplastic (patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), n = 32) and nonhyperplastic (control group of healthy male inhabitants, n = 32) prostates, an instrumental neutron activation analysis was performed. Mean values (M ± SΕΜ) for mass fraction (mg/kg, dry mass basis) of chemical elements in glands of patients with BPH were the following: Ag, 0.0346 ± 0.

[Altitude stress and the training of cosmonauts].

An ergonomic concept of the development of altitude stress is presented. According to this concept, the altitude stress as a psychophysiological response of man to the risk of falling from altitude is determined by the number and placement with respect to man position of antifalling contact supports and those being non-contact, i.e.

[Assessment of kidney function with 99mTc-pyrophosphate during the scintigraphy of the joints in rheumatoid arthritis patients].

Diagnostic potentialities of investigation of the kidneys using 99mTc-pyrophosphate were studied in 34 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for articular scintigraphy. The results obtained were compared with those of radionuclide renography with 131I-hippuran and excretory urography. A possibility of investigation of the kidneys with 99mTc-pyrophosphate for the assessment of parenchyma function and kidney urodynamics was shown.

[Antihypoxic effectiveness of a "pulsed" regimen of human pressure chamber training].

It has been shown that a 10-day altitude chamber training in an intermittent mode can increase the maximum altitude man tolerates from 8,400 to 9,500 m and maximum time of exposure to increasing hypoxia (from 5,000 m) from 37 to 49 min. The antihypoxic effect of the above training persists for 10 days after its completion, leading to a better oxygen supply to various tissues.

[Human energy expenditures during a prolonged stay in a cyclically changing atmosphere].

The paper presents the results of studying man's gas exchange and energy expenditures as related to the composition of a cyclically changing environment of an altitude chamber. The experiments were carried out on a 24-hour basis. The paper gives the environmental parameters that physiologically were most adequate as the training factor.

[Louse infestation of the red marmot, Marmota caudata, during its active period].

2213 lice of Neohaematopinus palaearctcus Ols. were collected from 152 of 865 examined specimens of Marmota caudata Geoffr. from different vertical zones of Tadjikistan.
