The study evaluated the significance of annexin-5 as a biochemical marker of atherosclerosis in patients with chronic disease of kidneys. The sample consisted of 46 patients with chronic disease of kidneys without clinical symptoms of atherosclerosis. The indicators of lipidogram, intima-media complex of carotid artery reactivity of vessels of microcirculatory channel and concentration of annexin-5 are determined. The decrease of velocity of glomerular filtration is accompanied by the increase of concentration of annexin-5 related to indicators of lipidogram. The increase of concentration level of annexin-5 is accompanied by the most expressed dysfunction of endothelium. The increase 3a level of annexin-5 in blood of patients with chronic disease of kidneys is especially informative in case of lacking of clinical symptomatic of atherosclerosis and it testifies the presence of vasomotor endothelial dysfunction. The dynamic detection of concentration of annexin-5 can ameliorate the prognosis of possibility of development of cardio-vascular complications under diseases of kidneys.

Background: Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disabling musculoskeletal condition of unknown aetiology characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain, extreme fatigue, mood disturbance, impaired cognition, and lack of refreshing sleep. Middle East pain syndrome (MEPS) is a newly described pollution-induced syndrome of hyperparathyroidism and fibromyalgia mimicking rheumatoid arthritis, characterized by the radiological presence of spur-like excrescences in terminal phalanges. This study aimed to explore the inflammatory nature of Middle East pain and Fibromyalgia syndromes.

Background: The prevalence and chronic nature of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is a significant global concern. As the essential part of treatments approach, patient adherence to treatment protocols and self-management practices are crucial to = IBD management. Healthcare initiatives focused on chronic conditions are strongly needed to consider various aspects of gamification and how it can positively affect self-management.

Introduction: Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition resulting from fluid accumulation in the pericardial sac, leading to decreased cardiac output and shock. Various etiologies can cause cardiac tamponade, including liver cirrhosis, which may be induced by autoimmune hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic inflammatory liver disease characterized by interface hepatitis, elevated transaminase levels, autoantibodies, and increased immunoglobulin G levels.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease, influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the human genome may influence the risk of developing COPD and the response to treatment. We assessed the effects of gene polymorphism of inflammatory and immune-active factors and gene-environment interaction on risk of COPD in middle-aged and older Chinese individuals.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic and progressive lung disease. Disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) may be involved in the pathogenesis of COPD. From the perspective of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM), clarifying the role of disulfidptosis in the development of COPD could provide a opportunity for primary prediction, targeted prevention, and personalized treatment of the disease.
