[Comparison of the effectiveness and safety of glaucoma drugs in the therapy of primary open-angle glaucoma].

Unlabelled: The rise in the number of glaucoma drugs complicates the choice that the ophthalmologists have to do.

Purpose: The study compares the effectiveness, safety and usability of the Russian latanoprost drug Trilaktan and the drug Xalatan in monotherapy for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OH).

Material And Methods: This is a multicenter observational study of the effectiveness and safety of eye drops Trilaktan (Groteks, Russia) and Xalatan (Pfizer MFG.

[Comprehensive analysis of the efficacy of personalized rehabilitation programs in patients with breast cancer].

Unlabelled: The concept of the personalized rehabilitation is based on the principle of applying physical and rehabilitative medicine techniques depending on the factors that mostly influence on rehabilitation efficacy in a particular patient - determinant of effectiveness. Current achievements in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer (BC) significantly increased overall patients' life expectancy, updating rehabilitative treatment stage, which is often unmet.

Objective: To perform the comprehensive analysis of the efficacy of personalized rehabilitation programs in patients with BC.

Raman Spectroscopy for Assessment of Hard Dental Tissues in Periodontitis Treatment.

The objective of this work was to use Raman spectroscopy to assess hard dental tissues after professional oral hygiene treatment and curettage. Spectral changes were identified, and the discriminant model of the specific changes of intensity of the Raman lines (i.e.

Raman Spectroscopy of Changes in the Tissues of Teeth with Periodontitis.

The results of experimental studies of the tissues of teeth with periodontitis, using the Raman spectroscopy method, are presented in this work. Spectral changes in the tissues of teeth with periodontitis were identified, and the results can be used for the correction of treatment of this disease in dental practice. Criteria for the noninvasive diagnosis of periodontitis, based on changes in tooth enamel spectral properties, were developed.

[Modern options for non-surgical correction of keratoconus].

The article reviews data on the so called non-surgical methods of keratoconus (KC) correction. The combined approach to KC treatment entails three main tasks: prevention of progression, optical correction of induced refractive disorders, and structural repair. Measures taken to accomplish the first two tasks should be regarded as symptomatic treatment, while addressing the last task requires pathogenetically oriented solutions.
