Introduction: The differential diagnosis of orbital complications of rhinosinusitis with diseases of the lacrimal sac in childhood remains unresolved both due to the similarity of the symptoms of the diseases and due to certain diagnostic difficulties requiring computed tomography.

Objective: To develop an algorithm for routing a patient to the emergency department of a multidisciplinary emergency hospital based on clinical and diagnostic distinctive features of sinusitis with orbital complications and diseases of the lacrimal sac with reactive edema of the eyelids.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of children's medical histories, who were treated in the otorhinolaryngological and ophthalmological departments of the Morozovskaya Children's City Clinical Hospital during 2022 was performed for orbital complications of rhinosinusitis or dacryocystitis with reactive edema of the eyelids.

As a result of molecular domestication of the gag gene of errantiviruses, the Gagr gene was formed in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. It has previously been shown that the Gagr gene is transcribed at the highest level in gut tissues relative to other tissues, and its transcription is most effectively induced in females in response to ammonium persulfate added to the nutrient medium. In the present work, the gut transcriptome of females with knockdown of the Gagr gene was studied in all tissues under standard conditions and under stress conditions caused by ammonium persulfate.

LaNiO perovskite nanoparticles, especially nanospheres (LNNS), show great promise in biomedical assays due to their peroxidase-like catalytic properties. However, LNNS-based diagnostic reagents have not been tested in nanozyme enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (NLISA) or other enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and there is limited data on their synthesis. To fill this gap, it is necessary to develop a method for creating LNNS conjugates with monoclonal antibodies and to investigate the reproducibility, scalability, and applicability of these diagnostic reagents in NLISA.

Objective: To study the prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and association of CFS with other clinical and neuropsychological manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD) as well as with serum inflammatory markers and genetic polymorphisms.

Material And Methods: The study included 533 patients with PD. All patients underwent clinical, neurological examination and neuropsychological testing using validated questionnaires: MoCA test, HADS, BDI-II, the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS).

Objective: To evaluate the frequency and severity of various clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) depending on the rs6265 polymorphism.

Material And Methods: The study included 533 patients with PD. The stage of PD was assessed using the Hoehn and Yahr scale (1967), motor symptoms were evaluated with MDS-UPDRS.
