Features of the clinical course of arterial hypertension in patients with vitamin D deficiency.

Objective: Aim: To determine the peculiarities of the daily prof i le of blood pressure in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and vitamin D def i ciency and insuf f i ciency, to evaluate the parameters of the lipid prof i le and quality of life in these patients.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: A total number of 97 patients with uncomplicated AH stage 1 and 2 were divided into 3 groups depending on the level of vitamin D in the blood serum. All patients underwent office blood pressure (BP) measurement and daily ambulatory BP monitoring for 24 hours, biochemical blood test with the determination of indicators of lipid metabolism, questionnaires for quality of life indicators.

Detection of cefiderocol and aztreonam/avibactam resistance in epidemic ST-361 carrying and from foreign fighters evacuated from Ukraine.

Genomic surveillance detected clonal sequence type-361 isolates carrying , , , and from a patient in Ukraine and four wounded foreign soldiers evacuated to Germany. Isolates were non-susceptible to carbapenems, aminoglycosides, and cefiderocol and aztreonam/avibactam due to a PBP3 YRIN insertion and the AmpC β-lactamase. Coordinated surveillance efforts across civilian, military, and veteran healthcare systems are essential to prevent further spread as international volunteers return home after medical evacuation from Ukraine.

Clinical implementation of partial splenic artery embolization for the prevention of recurrent bleeding from esophageal varices in portal hypertension.

Objective: Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of PSAE for secondary prevention of VB episodes in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and CSPH.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty patients (from 2008 to 2020) were submitted of PSAE as secondary prevention treatment. The results of the treatment of 27 patients between 2008 and 2012 (first period) were compared with those of 93 patients treated with PSAE since 2013 (second period), as procedure and management protocol were modificated.

Temporal evolution of bacterial species and their antimicrobial resistance characteristics in wound infections of war-related injuries in Ukraine from 2014 to 2023.

Background: This study continues surveillance of antimicrobial resistance associated with combat injuries in Ukraine.

Aim: To compare species composition, antibiotic resistance profiles, and emergence of new resistance genes between 2014-2020 and 2022-2023.

Methods: This was a retrospective multi-centre microbiological survey in Ukrainian hospitals.
