Aim: To assess efficacy of osteogenon in consolidation of solitary fractures of distal part of the radial bone (RB) in patients with secondary osteoporosis (SO) due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic renal failure (CRF).

Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 7 patients with documented RA and 8 patients with CRF caused by chronic glomerulonephritis or chronic pyelonephritis in the predialysis period. The control group comprised 13 patients (6 and 7 patients, respectively). The patients were matched by clinico-demographic and therapy characteristics. Patients of the study group received osteogen from the fracture diagnosis to its consolidation.

Results: Osteogenon has an analgetic effect, improves well being, raises physical activity, reduces duration of fracture consolidation in patients with SO.

The first evidence that Orthopoxvirus induced the expansion and the recall of effector innate Vδ2T-cells was described in a macaque model. Although, an engagement of αβ T-cells specific response in patients infected with human monkeypox (Mpox) was demonstrated, little is known about the role of γδ T-cells during Mpox infection. IFN-γ-producing γδ T-cells in the resistance to poxviruses may a key role in inducing a protective type 1 memory immunity.

Cholecystectomy is the recommended treatment for acute cholecystitis in pregnancy, leading to fewer pregnancy-related complications than non-operative management. However, past research demonstrated high rates of non-operative management despite these recommendations. Rates of cholecystostomy tube usage and outcomes in pregnancy are not well described.

Objective: To develop and validate a nomogram model for predicting central venous catheter-related infections (CRI) in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

Methods: MHD patients with central venous catheters (CVCs) visiting the outpatient hemodialysis (HD) center of Xuzhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected through a HD monitoring system. Patient data were collected, and the patients were divided into training and validation sets in a 7:3 ratio.
