Does Self-Assessed Health Reflect the True Health State?

Self-assessed health (SAH) is a widely used tool to estimate population health. However, the debate continues as to what exactly this ubiquitous measure of social science research means for policy conclusions. This study is aimed at understanding the tenability of the construct of SAH by simultaneously modelling SAH and clinical morbidity.

Fast-Track Approach for Breast Reconstructive Surgery in Patients With Breast Cancer.

Synchronous and metachronous breast cancer in Ukraine.

Aim: This study aims to describe the current state of multiple primary malignant neoplasms (MPMNs) breast cancer patients management, evaluate the predictive impact of different factors, optimise approaches to diagnosis and treatment of these patients and improve their life quality.

Methods: The study included 2,032 patients who received special treatment at the Department of Breast Tumours and it Reconstructive Surgery of the National Cancer Institute from 2008 to 2015 within an open randomized controlled trial.

Successful prevention of preeclampsia in a high-risk pregnancy using progestogen dydrogesterone: a clinical case.

The presented clinical example convincingly demonstrates the efficacy of dydrogesterone (30 mg) in the prevention of severe preeclampsia in a high-risk patient (early development of preeclampsia and preterm Cesarean section in her first pregnancy, arterial hypertension). This case suggests using dydrogesterone as an option to prevent preeclampsia, as previously shown in a prospective randomized study.
