Importance: Since the full-scale Russian invasion, hospitals in Ukraine have been compelled to close or operate at reduced capacity due to inadequate supplies, damage, or destruction caused by war.
Objective: To analyze hospital services in Ukraine during the period before and after the Russian invasion.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Of the 450 hospitals currently functioning in Ukraine, a cross-sectional survey was carried out with the participation of 74 hospitals from 12 oblasts.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate plasma relaxin‑2 (RLN-2) levels in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and their relationships with clinical and laboratory parameters.
Methods: The study involved 106 hypertensive patients, including 55 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and 30 control subjects. Plasma RLN-2 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit.
Catestatin (CST) is a pleiotropic peptide with cardioprotective and metabolic effects. CST is involved in the pathogenesis of both arterial hypertension (AH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which are the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the plasma CST levels in hypertensive patients, especially with T2DM, as well as compare those with healthy volunteers, and explore the relationship between CST levels and clinical, anthropometric and laboratory parameters.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: This study was to investigate the relationships among health behaviors and quality of life (QOL) and to test a proposed model among people with hypertension and concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care. In addition, the mediation effect of modifiable risk factors between self-care health behaviors and QOL was examined.
Methods: This study was prospective, conducted in the centers of primary medical care in the period from January 2018 to January 2020.
Background: Masitinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively targets mast cell activity and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) signaling, both of which are implicated in various mechanisms of asthma pathogenesis.
Objective: Assessment of masitinib as an add-on to standard maintenance therapy as compared with placebo in the treatment of oral corticosteroid-dependent severe asthma.
Methods: We conducted a randomized (2:1), placebo-controlled study of masitinib (6 mg/kg/d) in adults with severe asthma uncontrolled by high dose inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-adrenoreceptor agonists plus oral corticosteroids (OCS) (≥7.
Objective: The aim: Was to evaluate the quality of DSME provided by primary care physicians to people with diabetes mellitus.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 primary care physicians. The quality of diabetes self-management training provided by physicians was assessed on a personal scale of 39 Likert questions obtained from the American Association of Diabetes Educators in seven areas of diabetes self-monitoring.
Introduction: Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is defined as a systematic intervention involving active participation of the individual in self-monitoring of health parameters and/or decision making using knowledge and skills. The goal of DSME is to create opportunities for people with diabetes to be informed and motivated to continuously participate in effective methods and methods of self-monitoring of diabetes.
Aim: To evaluate the quality of DSME provided by primary care physicians to people with diabetes mellitus.
