One of the reasons for the development or worsening of cognitive impairment (CI) may be the use of a number of drugs: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antiarrhythmics, antidepressants, glucocorticosteroids, antitumor drugs and a number of others. The negative effect of drugs on cognitive functions is realized due to many pathophysiological mechanisms: disruption of hormonal regulation, decreased neuronal excitability, increased activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors, decreased cerebral circulation, atrophic changes in the brain; many mechanisms have not been fully established. Risk factors for the development of drug-induced CIs are: old age or childhood, brain damage, chronic diseases, genetic factors, the patient's initial CI, polypharmacy, dose and duration of drug use, acute infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, dehydration, acute urinary retention, etc.

Material And Methods: A cohort study included 488 patients with pancreatic necrosis: group 1 (=331) - active surgical strategy, group 2 (=157) - follow-up and therapy. We used binary logistic regression to predict purulent-septic complications.
Pyridinium cesium cobalt nitrate, (PyH)CsCo(NO), obtained from a nitric acid solution crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group with unit cell parameters = 8.6905(14) Å, = 11.9599(18) Å, = 18.

Cultural safety (an environment free of racism that fosters feelings of safety and respect) is integral to HCC services. We conducted 27 semi-structured interviews with OALHIV in Vancouver, British Columbia about their HCC experiences.

Little is known about whether and how PSH influences depressive symptoms among people living with HIV (PLHIV). This article shares results from a community-based study that, in 2016-2017, interviewed 24 residents of a PSH facility designated for PLHIV in Vancouver, Canada.

Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of Longidaza (rectal suppositories of 3000 IU) as part of combined therapy in order to prevent complications after TURP.
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has a long history within HIV research, yet little work has focused on facilitating team-based data analysis within CBPR. Our team adapted Thorne's interpretive description (ID) for CBPR analysis, using a color-coded "sticky notes" system to conduct data fragmentation and synthesis. Sticky notes were used to record, visualize, and communicate emerging insights over the course of 11 in-person participatory sessions.

Background: The paper presents the results of community consultations about the health needs and healthcare experiences of the population of Ukraine. The objective of community consultations is to engage a community in which a research project is studying, and to gauge feedback, criticism and suggestions. It is designed to seek advice or information from participants directly affected by the study subject of interest.
