[Cost-effectiveness of using rubidium-82 chloride perfusion PET for planning myocardial revascularization procedures].

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness, diagnostic accuracy, clinical outcomes, and radiation exposure associated with rubidium-82 chloride perfusion PET.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search up to October 2024 was conducted to identify key studies assessing the use of rubidium-82 chloride perfusion PET/CT in ischemic heart disease (IHD). These studies included economic analyses, evaluations of diagnostic accuracy, and comparisons with other imaging modalities such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), stress echocardiography, and invasive coronary angiography.

[Efficiency of the differentiated use of physiobalneotherapy for borderline mental disorders in mothers of children with cerebral palsy].

Background: Child disability, especially as a result of nervous system diseases, affects all aspects of family life, causing extreme emotional and physical exhaustion in parents. However, today there is not enough scientific evidence on the features of development of nonpsychotic mental disorders in parents raising children with cerebral palsy and on the possibilities of using modern physiotherapy methods to correct these conditions and comorbidities. Considering that sanatorium-resort rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy is accompanied by their parents, it is urgent to optimize clinical and functional approaches to treating mothers with borderline mental disorders with the simultaneous rehabilitation of children in sanatorium-resort conditions.

[Quality of life of patients before and after surgical treatment of diffuse toxic goiter].

Quality of life of 89 patients with diffuse toxic goiter was analyzed before surgical intervention and at different terms after thyroidectomy or terminal subtotal resection of the thyroid gland using questionnaire SF-36. It was found that quality of life of patients with diffuse toxic goiter was lower than that of respondents without such pathology. The indices of quality of life one year after thyroidectomy (terminal subtotal resection of the thyroid gland) remained depending on the duration of the disease and complications of thyrotoxicosis, became reliably larger as compared with preoperative level due to social activity and emotional state.

[Specific features of laryngeal paresis following surgical treatment of diffuse toxic goiter (a prospective longitudinal passive study)].

Specific manifestations of postoperative laryngeal paresis observed with the use of indirect laryngoscopy are described in 53 patients subjected to the surgical treatment of diffuse toxic goiter. Laryngeal paresis was shown to develop both in the early (up to 7 days) and in the late (over 14 days) postoperative periods. The delayed form of pathology accounted for 13% of the total number of the cases of postoperative laryngeal paresis.
