Optimization of Radiology Diagnostic Services for Patients with Stroke in Multidisciplinary Hospitals.

Background: Effective radiology diagnostic services are crucial for the timely and precise diagnosis and treatment of stroke, a medical emergency, in multidisciplinary hospitals. However, the efficiency of these services might be impeded by various logistical and operational challenges present in a multidisciplinary hospital setup.

Objective: This review endeavours to explore the ways for optimizing stroke management in multi-disciplinary hospitals, delving into its benefits, current challenges, and future prospects.

Improving multidisciplinary hospital care for acute cerebral circulation disorders in Kazakhstan.

Background: According to the World Stroke Organization, there was a significant increase in stroke cases, stroke deaths, and the DALY rate in low- and middle-income countries in 2022. The number of stroke cases rose by 70.0%, stroke deaths reached 86.

An economic impact of incorrect referrals for MRI and CT scans: A retrospective analysis.

Background And Aims: Up to date, no research on the economic efficacy of diagnostic modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT), has been done in Central Asia. The aim of this study was to analyse the inappropriate appointments of MRI and CT scanning procedures in Kazakhstan.

Methods: We used the imaging diagnostic reports and medical records from 9725 planned outpatient CT and MRI exams performed in two major hospitals in Almaty.

Practice of Surgical Treatment for Patients with Combined Echinococcosis of Chest and Abdominal Organs.

Background: Epidemiological significance of echinococcosis is determined by the severe clinical progression leading to disability, incapacitation and death, a wide range of hosts, and formation of synanthropic and mixed lesions. The aim of the work was to analyze cases of combined echinococcosis of the chest and abdominal organs and the results of its surgical treatment in clinics of Almaty (Kazakhstan) from 1997 to 2019.

Materials And Methods: In 413 patients, 534 lesions of echinococcosis were revealed: single and multiple cysts.

RECENT TREATMENT RESULTS OF LIVER ECHINOCOCCOSIS BY PAIR METHOD (PUNCTURE, ASPIRATION, INJECTION, REASPIRATION).

The development of new technologies in medicine lead to creating an optimal treatment methods of cystic liver echinococcosis, based on minimally invasive technologies, such as percutaneous puncture-aspiration echinococcectomy (PAIR) under ultrasound (US) guidance. Aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the efficiency of PAIR treatment. The study material included a retrospective analysis of 33 patients who underwent PAIR from December 2017 to December 2019.
