Triple combination of vemurafenib, cobimetinib, and atezolizumab in real clinical practice in the Russian Federation: results of the A1 cohort of the ISABELLA study.

Background: Among several treatment options for BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma, a combination of BRAF inhibitor, MEK inhibitor, and anti-PDL1 antibody seems to be a new emergent approach recently registered in the Russian Federation. It is still not clear which patient population benefits more from this simultaneous use of three drugs instead of its sequencing.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate patients' characteristics treated in real practice in 14 Russian regions by triple combination and to analyze their outcomes depending on biomarkers (PD-L1 expression).

Vaginal Microbiota Molecular Profiling in Women with Bacterial Vaginosis: A Novel Diagnostic Tool.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a most common microbiological syndrome. Multiplex next-generation sequencing (NGS) or molecular tests allow a complete and accurate vaginal microbiota profiling in order to determine the primary causative agent. Due to the high costs and limited availability of NGS, the multiplex real-time PCR draws more attention.

Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Attenuates Blood Pressure Drops in Orthostasis.

Orthostatic hypotension is a complex medical problem with various underlying pathogenic mechanisms and limited modalities for its correction. Since transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (t-SCS) leads to immediate blood pressure (BP) elevation in a supine position, we suggested that t-SCS may attenuate blood pressure drops in orthostasis. We aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of t-SCS during tilt testing in a feasibility study in three patients with documented orthostatic hypotension.

[The morphofunctional cellular evaluation of liver and kidney in rats in dynamics of 6-month consumption of water produced with the use of noncontact activation after electrochemical treatment].

There were investigated morphofunctional indices of liver and kidney in male outbred rats in the dynamics of the 6-months consumption of water after its noncontact activation. There were studied 4 experimental groups of animals consumed waters named as "Anolyte" and in dependence on the activation time, 3 types of catholyte water ("Catholyte--5", "Catholyte--25", "Catholyte--40"). Moscow tap water settled for a week served as control.

[Pollution hazard for water bodies at oil production].

In the paper there have been summarizes the concepts of the danger of the pollution ofwater bodies in oil production (the most dangerous are reagents used in the drilling, drilling waste, oil and petrochemicals, oil biodestructors. There was shown the danger of the spread of oil pollution. New indices, presenting a hazard during drilling and oil production have been substantiated The tasks aimed to the improvement of the standards and methods of the control of the water pollution by oil, as well as of the documents regulating the conditions of environmental protection during the drilling have been conceived.
