Objective: To analyze the results of laparoscopic surgery in patients with perforated ulcers using evidence-based medicine approaches.
Material And Methods: We compared the efficacy and effectiveness of laparoscopic and open surgeries in patients with perforated ulcers. Meta-analysis of mortality after laparoscopic surgeries (randomized controlled trials) and trial sequential analysis were carried out.
Objective: We aimed at exploring the relationship between functional outcomes in patients on clozapine augmented with antipsychotics in treatment-resistant schizophrenia using standard outcome measures Health of Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) and Life Skills Profile (LSP-16).
Method: In a cross-sectional study of 83 patients on clozapine treated in a psychiatric rehabilitation hospital, the association between the primary outcome measure, LSP-16 including its subscales, and treatment with antipsychotic augmentation (AA) were analysed using linear regression.
Result: The presence of moderate-to-severe positive symptoms on the HoNOS 6 dichotomised item measure was the only statistically significant predictor of functional impairment as determined by total LSP-16 score.
Background: To determine if theta burst stimulation (TBS) is of preferential benefit to those with melancholic or non-melancholic depression as an adjunctive treatment for treatment resistant depression (TRD).
Methods: Fifty-two patients receiving TBS at a private psychiatric hospital participated in a naturalistic study. Four diagnostic strategies were used to assign melancholic versus non-melancholic depression subtype status.
Objective: To analyze the achievements of laparoscopic surgery in the Central Federal District of Russia and outline perspective trends for further application.

Objectives: Constipation, a clinical manifestation of gastrointestinal hypomotility, is a common and potentially serious complication of clozapine therapy, requiring laxatives for its prevention and treatment. We explored the predictive factors of the increased laxative use in inpatients receiving a long-term clozapine therapy.
Methods: In the cross-sectional study of 93 patients in a psychiatric rehabilitation hospital, we examined a four-week prevalence of laxative use and a range of demographic and clinical factors associated with the number of prescribed laxatives.

Objective: To analyze the impact of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on in-hospital and postoperative mortality in patients with acute cholecystitis.
Material And Methods: Comparative analysis was based on primary statistical data presented in public available analytical collections «Surgical care in the Russian Federation» (Revishvili A.Sh.
Objective: We aimed at exploring predictors of improvement in clinical and functional outcomes of patients on clozapine with chronic treatment-resistant schizophrenia admitted into rehabilitation wards.
Method: In a cross-sectional study of 62 patients on clozapine augmented with oral and parenteral antipsychotics, predictors of HoNOS (Health of the Nation Outcome Scales) scores were analysed using ordinal logistic regression.
Result: Augmentation with parenteral antipsychotics was associated with lower psychotic symptom scores (OR 0.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for perforated gastric ulcer in a surgical hospital.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of the treatment of 693 patients with perforated gastric and duodenal ulcers was carried out. Laparoscopic and open surgeries were performed.
Objective: To study and to justify statistically the influence of the incidence of ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding on the results of treatment.
Material And Methods: The results of treatment of 56.233 patients with ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding in the Central Federal district have been analyzed throughout a 5-year follow-up period.
Psychiatric hospitalization can cause significant distress for patients. Research has shown that to cope with the stress, patients sometimes resort to self-harm. Given the paucity of research on self-harm among psychiatric inpatients, a better understanding of transdiagnostic processes as predictors of self-harm during psychiatric hospitalization is needed.
