An analysis of results of examination and treatment of 59 patients with a prolonged duration of acute abscesses of the lungs has shown the influence of immune disorders on the dynamics of the development and outcome of pyo-destructive disease in the lung. The indications to local immunosubstituting therapy were determined. A new original method of administration and a scheme of prescription of the medicine Betaleukin are proposed. Clinical efficiency of the method proposed is shown. The local immunocorrection used in the complex treatment of patients with acute abscesses of the lungs allows to get recovery of 89% of the patients.

The prognosis for T2N0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is generally favorable, with a 5-year overall survival rate of 79%-96% achieved with radiotherapy (RT), the standard nonsurgical treatment for this condition. However, the local control rate for T2N0 glottic SCC treated with RT remains suboptimal, with a 5-year local control rate of only 65%-80%. Local residual disease or recurrence following RT for T2N0 glottic SCC often leads to difficulties in laryngeal preservation.

Background: Whether a detected virus or bacteria is a pathogen that may require treatment, or is merely a commensal 'passenger', remains confusing for many infections. This confusion is likely to increase with the wider use of multi-pathogen PCR.
Objectives: To propose a new statistical procedure to analyse and present data from case-control studies clarifying the probability of causality.

Objective: To review and compare robot-assisted ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RALUU) and laparoscopic ipsilateral uretero-ureterostomy (LUU) in terms of efficacy and outcomes.
Methods: Clinical data of 65 children with complete renal ureteral duplication deformity admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022 were collected. Among these, 42 patients underwent laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LUU), designated as the LUU group, while 23 patients received robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (RALUU), designated as the RALUU group.
