[STUDY OF PREVENTION STRATEGIES FOR SIX RISK FACTORS IN REDUCING MORTALITY FROM NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES 25 × 25].

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continue to progress against the background of an increase in risk factors and the emergence of new ones, such as postcovid syndrome. Due in part to this influence, the progression of the atherosclerotic process and deterministic cardiovascular diseases is observed. In this regard, the aggravation of NCDs remains alarming against the background of the influence of six leading risk factors «25 × 25».

Molecular Characterization of Echinococcus canadensis (Cestoda, Taeniidae) in Wolf from the Kirov Region.

This work presents the results of studying the molecular characteristics of parasitic tapeworms Echinococcus canadensis. The helminths were discovered during the autopsy of a wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758) killed by hunters in the Kirov oblast in 2021. A molecular phylogenetic study was performed by analyzing the sequence of a fragment of the first subunit of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene (CoxI).

[Comparative analysis of the European and Russian models of medical examination (overview)].

Screening or its synonym medical check-up is the result of a health indicator, representing results of a medical examination and an effective tool of disease prevention. The concept of the term screening in European countries implies active detection of a disease or a premorbidity in people who are considered or consider themselves healthy. Medical check-up is a set of measures that includes preventive medical examination and additional methods of examinations conducted in order to assess the state of health and carried out in relation to certain groups of the population.

[Acetylsalicylic acid in primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease].

The article is devoted to an urgent problem - primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Modern approaches to management tactics depending on age and the appointment of antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid in low doses from 75 to 150 mg/day are presented. At the same time, the relatively high effectiveness of the use of ASA for primary prevention in men 40-69 years old without an increased risk of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract is shown.

[Use of Verapamil and Dilthiasem in treating patients at high cardiovascular risk (review of literature)].

The article deals with usage of nondihydropiridine calcium antagonists--verapamil and dilthiasem--in treating patients with arterial hypertension, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia, for secondary prevention of IHD. Data also concern cardio-, angio--and nephroprotective activity of the medications, their ability to prevent left ventricle hypertrophy, possible usage in patients after myocardial infarction. The authors also discuss problems of tolerance and safety of calcium antagonists with prolonged action vs.

Functional state of sportsmen with mitral valve prolapse.

The study covered functional peculiarities in 541 professional sportsmen. Mitral valve prolapse (in 132 examinees) appeared to be associated with reliably lower levels of reticulocytes, leucocytes, lymphocytes CD4+, immunoglobulines G, magnesium, and higher cortisol level, in comparison with the sportsmen having no mitral valve prolapse. The athletes with mitral valve prolapse demonstrated more frequent changes in ECG, reliably lower performance in treadmill test, slower recovery of heart rate after exertion is over.

Optimization of therapeutic teaching of patients with chronic cardiac failure.

The study was aimed to evaluate treatment efficiency of patients with chronic cardiac failure via therapeutic teaching. The study included 137 patients. Implementation of therapeutic teaching into treatment of chronic cardiac failure patients resulted in less number of patients with III-functional grade, better tolerance to physical exertion, more awareness, greater number of patients with self-control skills and adherence to recommended treatment, better life quality of the patients.

[The prevalence and prevention of alariosis].

High Alaria alata infestation rates were found in the animals of the Kirov Region. The functioning of alariosis foci is maintained by a wide range of primary and intermediate hosts. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the activity of disinfectants against A.

[High technology examination methods in athletes with tricuspidal insufficiency].

The article exemplifies solving problem of permit for coaching and contest in athletes with marked tricuspidal regurgitation. Invasive study analysis of intracardiac hemodynamic parameters at rest and during electrostimulation-induced tachycardia helps to differentiate primary and functional tricuspidal insufficiency, to reveal latent cardiac insufficiency and unfavorable disorders of cardiac rhythm and conductivity. This investigation method has to be used in cases when other modalities are unable to assess the risk of fatal events at the highest submaximal heart rate.

[Immune state in athletes with mitral valve prolapse].

The authors evaluated immune state in 541 professional athletes. The athletes with vitral valve prolapse (132 subjects) appeared to have immune changes - lower immunoglobulines levels, general leucocytes count, if compared to the athletes without mitral valve prolapse.

[Evaluation of vascular modification in hypertensive patients].

Assessment of arterial stiffness for revealing vascular modification in hypertensive patients seems to be an actual problem in clinical practice. 377 patients with arterial hypertension and 232 nonhypertensive subjects were included in the research. The noninvasive technique of investigation of pulse wave velocity (PWV) was used.

[Effects of hypotensive treatment on structural-functional properties of the vascular wall in hypertensive patients].

Aim: To study structural-functional properties of the walls of large and middle-size arteries and changes of these properties in the course of hypotensive therapy in hypertensive patients.

Material And Methods: Of 609 participants of the trial (233 males and 376 females), 377 patients with essential hypertension stage I-II (mean age 46.9 +/- 7.

[Outpatient follow-up and management of pregnant women with hypertension].

Aim: To study variants of the course of chronic hypertension in pregnant women and determination of factors predisposing to a persistent rise of arterial pressure (AP) in pregnancy.

Material And Methods: A total of 50 pregnant women were examined (heart rhythm variability and psychological testing) who had AP 140/90 mm Hg and higher as shown by measurements at three outpatient check-ups. After delivery the patients were retrospectively devided into two groups.
