Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography training conditions, results from a pan-European survey: Between vision and reality.

Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) still has a relatively high complication rate, underscoring the importance of high-quality training. Despite existing guidelines, real-world data on training conditions remain limited. This pan-European survey aims to systematically explore the perceptions surrounding ERCP training.

FEATURES OF INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA IN PATIENTS WITH NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE: EFFECTS ON MARKERS OF INFLAMMATION AND HEPATIC STEATOSIS.

Objective: The aim: To study the state of the intestinal microbiota (ІМ) in patients with Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and to determine changes in its composition at the level of basic phylotypes.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study included 114 patients with NAFLD with metabolic disorders and 64 patients of control group. Determination of the composition of the ІМ at the level of major phylotypes was performed by identifying total bacterial DNA and DNA of Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in real time (qRT-PCR) using universal primers for the 16S rRNA gene and taxon-specific primers of production (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Pressure Induced Spin Crossover and Magnetic Properties of Multiferroic BaNbFeSiO.

Recently, the iron containing langasite-type crystal BaNbFeSiO has attracted great attention as a new magnetically induced multiferroic. In this work, magnetic, structural and electronic properties of the multiferroic BaNbFeSiO were investigated by several methods, including synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron Mössbauer source technique at high quasi-hydrostatic pressures (up to 70 GPa), created in diamond anvil cells. At room temperature, two structural transitions at pressures of about 3.

The prognostic value of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and cholesterol in patients with an infection and multiple organ dysfunction.

Background: To establish the prognostic value of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and cholesterol levels for mortality in patients with an infection and multiple organ dysfunction.

Methods: A prospective case-control study was performed, including 67 patients admitted to the intensive care unit with an infection and multiple organ dysfunction in whom cholesterol, procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein levels were measured on admission and during the course of treatment.

Results: The associations between in-hospital mortality and procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and cholesterol levels were analyzed.

[EATING DISORDERS AND VISCERAL ADIPOSE TISSUE - TWO INTERCONNECTED INFORMATIVE MARKERS OF PROGNOSIS OF DISORDERS OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND RISK OF DEVELOPMENT OF COMORBIDITY CHRONIC NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES].

The purpose of research was to study the characteristics of eating behaviour (EB) and indicators visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in patients with NAFLD and obesity stage of 1-2 or excessive body mass on the background of hypertension (H). We examined 100 patients with NAFLD in combination with overweight and obesity of 1-2 degrees (body mass index - BMI ≥25 kg/m2) on the background of H I-II stage. Patients with NAFLD and visceral obesity on the background of stage H of I-II the identified three types of violations of EB with a significant predominance of external breach type EB (p<0,05) regardless of BMI.
