A total of 237 patients were examined: 127 with gastric cancer and 110 with colonic cancer, 99 women and 138 men, mean age 57.5 years. Erythrocyte deformability and aggregation were studied by original methods. Red blood, protein metabolism, and endogenous intoxication parameters were evaluated by routine laboratory tests. Increased aggregation and volume of erythrocytes and decrease of their deformability and hemoglobin content in parallel with hypo- and dysproteinemia and increased level of endogenous intoxication were observed in all patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Correction of these disorders by intravenous laser exposure of the blood essentially improved the erythron status and protein metabolism and decreased endotoxicosis. Infusion/transfusion therapy also notably improved the erythron function and decreased endogenous intoxication. Analysis of the results of surgery showed decreased incidence of complications and lethal outcomes, which was due to methods of corrective therapy.

Article Synopsis
- - Recent research has gathered extensive biological evidence from various fields like biochemistry and neuroimaging to support the idea of a continuum of affective disorders.
- - This continuum includes two dimensions: a clinical one that ranges from major depressive disorder to the bipolar spectrum, and a causal one focusing on the various underlying factors of these mood disorders.
- - The upcoming Special Issue aims to investigate the complex markers that characterize these affective disorders from both clinical and causal viewpoints.
The role of post-mortem investigations in deaths due to fermenting grape gas: A case series of four fatalities.

Article Synopsis
- Carbon dioxide (CO) is produced by cellular respiration and can be deadly at high levels, especially in unventilated spaces.
- The paper discusses six cases of CO poisoning due to grape must fermentation in a confined area, resulting in four fatalities and two survivors.
- Investigations included environmental gas measurements, autopsies, and histopathological analyses, revealing toxic CO levels and signs of alcohol in the deceased, leading to recommendations for improved post-mortem CO intoxication diagnosis methods.
Targeting Calcitriol Metabolism in Acute Vitamin D Toxicity-A Comprehensive Review and Clinical Insight.

Division of Nephrology, Department of Internal Medicine, Medical University of Graz, 8036 Graz, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- * The main issue resulting from vitamin D toxicity is hypercalcemia, which can be difficult to treat and can stem from various causes, including genetic mutations and excessive intake.
- * The manuscript discusses possible treatments for vitamin D toxicity, highlighting the use of systemic corticosteroids as effective after traditional methods fail, as well as alternative options that could limit steroid side effects.

Objective: Aim: To study xylate effect on the renal toxin-excreting function with diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated by endogenous intoxication syndrome of purulentseptic genesis.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The effect of infusions with sorbilact or Ringer's solution in the regimen 3 ml/kg/hour during 3 hours on toxin-excreting function of the kidneys in patients with type 2 DM complicated by EIS is studied.
Results: Results: In the period of the research, xylate increased cleaning blood plasma (extracellular water space) from the total toxicity by 6,0±1,9 ml/min (230±72,3%, Δ р<0,05).
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how a specialized treatment for peritonitis influenced certain immune proteins in 124 patients, divided into three treatment groups.
- - Patients receiving cytochrome C alone or with additional compounds (levocarnitine and arginine) showed improved production of important immune proteins, while those not receiving these treatments experienced worsening inflammation markers.
- - The findings suggest that incorporating cytochrome C and the solution can significantly reduce inflammation in peritonitis patients, helping maintain immune function.
