[The factors associated with development of professional burning-out in physicians].

The professional burnout of physicians is a common world problem that has significant negative impact on quality of medical care and decreases effectiveness of human resources policy in health care. The first step in solving the burnout problem is to identify the most common provoking and protective factors (predictors) of this phenomenon. The study was targeted to determine and categorize the key factors associated with burnout of physicians and to provide prevention and treatment of the condition in the future.

[The number of life years lost (DALYs) due to premature mortality in the population of Tomsk region in 2012].

Aim: To calculate the index of years of life lost population due to premature death in the Tomsk region in 2012, and the contribution of various groups of diseases in the total indicator DALY among males and females.

Materials And Methods: In the calculation of DALY used the number and the gender and age structure of the population of Tomsk region by 01.01.

[Prognostic value of parameters of diastolic left ventricular function and muscular status in elderly patients - survivors of myocardial infarction].

Aim of the study was to assess prognostic value of intraventricular filling flows and parameters of muscular status in patients of elder age group who had survived myocardial infarction. Patients (n=96) aged more than 60 years with Q-wave myocardial infarction were subjected to echocardiographical examination with study of traditional parameters of systolic and diastolic function, as well as velocity (IVFPV) and time of intraventricular filling flow propagation, and calculation of E/IVFPV ratio. Functional state of patients was assessed by means of veloergometry, 6-minute walk test, hand dynamometry, statico-dynamic and static tests.

[The clinicofunctional characterization of the phenotypes of severe uncontrollable bronchial asthma].

The aim of the study was to compare the clinical characteristics and the inflammatory process activity in the airway of patients with severe therapy-sensitive and therapy-resistant bronchial asthma (TSBA; TRBA). The subjects were 171 patients with severe bronchial asthma (BA) aged 18 to 60; the diagnosis was established prior to the study according to GINA 2002 criteria. There were 50 TSBA patients, 121 TRBA, and 50 controls.

[Life quality control in patients with severe bronchial asthma].

The aim of the study was to evaluate life quality (LQ) of patients with severe bronchial asthma (BA) in connection with the degree of the disease control. Seventy two BA outpatients were divided into two groups: 50 patients with uncontrolled BA, and 22 patients who had achieved full BA control thanks to combined therapy with salmeterol plus fluticasone propionate in a dose of 1000 mg per day during 3 months. Clinical symptoms, respiratory parameters, and daily requirement of broncholytics were under study.
