[Influence of cardiorespiratory training program on the intercellular adhesion molecule level in patients with postmastectomy syndrome].

Unlabelled: Postmastectomy syndrome (PMS) is a complex neurovascular set of symptoms that develops in most patients after breast cancer (BC) treatment and significantly reduces the quality of life. One of the potential mechanisms of its occurrence is considered to be an endothelial dysfunction. The possible method of reducing manifestation of endothelial dysfunction is systematic aerobic dynamic training.

Factors Associated With Coronary Angiography Performed Within 6 Months of Randomization to the Conservative Strategy in the ISCHEMIA Trial.

Background: ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches) did not find an overall reduction in cardiovascular events with an initial invasive versus conservative management strategy in chronic coronary disease; however, there were conservative strategy participants who underwent invasive coronary angiography early postrandomization (within 6 months). Identifying factors associated with angiography in conservative strategy participants will inform clinical decision-making in patients with chronic coronary disease.

Methods: Factors independently associated with angiography performed within 6 months of randomization were identified using Fine and Gray proportional subdistribution hazard models, including demographics, region of randomization, medical history, risk factor control, symptoms, ischemia severity, coronary anatomy based on protocol-mandated coronary computed tomography angiography, and medication use.

Tolerability of an Individualized Physical Rehabilitation Program in Patients Dependent on Inotropic Support With End-Stage Chronic Heart Failure.

Aim      To assess the tolerability of an individualized physical rehabilitation program (PRP) in inotrope-dependent patients with end-stage chronic heart failure (CHF).Material and methods  This prospective randomized study included 120 men aged 18-65 years with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤30 % and blood pressure ≥90 / 60 mm Hg. Patients who have received dobutamine or dopamine for ≥2 weeks were randomized into two groups: group 1, 40 patients who participated in the PRP and group 2, 40 patients who did not participate in the PRP.

Successional Development of the Phototrophic Community in Biological Soil Crusts on Coastal and Inland Dunes.

(1) Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are microecosystems consisting of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms growing on the topsoil. This study aims to characterize changes in the community structure of biocrust phototrophic organisms along a dune chronosequence in the Baltic Sea compared to an inland dune in northern Germany. (2) A vegetation survey followed by species determination and sediment analyses were conducted.

[Comparative effectiveness of various methods of physical rehabilitation in the complex treatment of patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy with vestibulo-atactic syndrome].

Unlabelled: Dyscirculatory encephalopathy is a complex of functional and structural changes in the brain that occur against the background of chronic insufficiency of cerebral blood flow. The high prevalence of this pathology, as well as a pronounced impact on the quality of life and working capacity of patients, determines the importance of optimizing rehabilitation measures and developing the most promising strategies for physical rehabilitation.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of a special complex of therapeutic (vestibular) gymnastics and training with biofeedback (BFB) on a stabiloplatform in the rehabilitation of patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy with vestibulo-atactic syndrome.
