The author reports results of clinical assessment of cytoflavin for injections in the treatment of different pathological condition including critical ones. It was shown that therapy reduces mortality among patients with acute disturbances of cerebral circulation to 4.8-9.6% compared with 11.7-17.1% in controls. Positive dynamic of neurologic status was documented in 79% of the patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy versus 25% in control. Duration of comatose state decreased 1,7-fold, length of stay in resuscitation and intensive therapy wards 1.8-fold, and frequency of internal complications secondary to the effect of neurotropic poisons 2-fold. Cytoflavin corrected the level of metalloproteides and stabilized antioxidative potential of sera and cerebrospinal liquid in patient with meningitis including that of zoonotic etiology. In the period of post-narcosis rehabilitation cytoflavin restored conscience in 77% of the patients within 20 min. The drug also inhibited pathological alcohol addiction within 5 days after the onset of therapy as apparent from the improvement of intellectual-mnestic status and activization of attention. The frequency of infectious complications in patients with acute surgical abdominal pathology decreased by 5.1% and lethality by 3.6% compared with placebo group. Cytoflavin exhibited cardioprotective action in patients with myocardial infarction, during cardiosurgical intervention, and chronic brucellosis. It had hepatoprotective effect in iatrogenic hepatic conditions as well as ophthalmo- and oto-protective activity.

Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) primarily affects the respiratory system, neurological symptoms were reported both during acute and post-acute COVID-19. Notably, patients with no history of epilepsy or other neurological conditions developed new-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) weeks, months, or even up to a year following the viral infection. While NORSE is uncommon, it carries a high mortality rate and can result in permanent epilepsy.

Objective: To investigate the role of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding of unknown origin in liver cirrhosis, focusing on patients with recurrent treatment of esophageal and gastric varices who failed to identify the bleeding site under direct endoscopy.
Background: Esophagogastric variceal bleeding is one of the severe complications of decompensated liver cirrhosis, and serial endoscopic therapy can improve the long-term quality of life of patients. Most acute bleeding can be detected under direct endoscopy with thrombus or active bleeding, but there are still some patients with recurrent bleeding after repeated treatments, and it is difficult to find the bleeding site, especially in gastric variceal bleeding.

Introduction: Management of patients with large aortic arch aneurysms who are considered high risk for frozen elephant trunk technique have been challenging, especially when they have a dilated ascending aorta (AA) that precludes total endovascular branched repair (arch BEVAR). A viable option in our armamentarium is wrapping of the AA (AW), and zone 0 Ishimaru TEVAR.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of our aortic database from 2013 to 2024 to select high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysm that had an AW and TEVAR.

Background: Despite recommendations, exercise participation among endometrial cancer survivors remains low. Previous interventions focused on weight loss or in-person programs with limited reach. Regular exercise, regardless of weight change, reduces mortality risk and improves functionality.

Background: Rates of premature coronary artery disease (CAD) are stagnant, and the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in young and middle-aged adults is increasing. Lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) is effective in preventing CAD but is underutilized in younger patients. The reasons for and consequences of this underutilization are not fully understood.
