Unlabelled: Tracheal and bronchial endoscopic stenting can give a quick therapeutic result or delay surgiCal treatment of patients with stenosis. It also can improve quality of life, create conditions for palliative therapy and increase survival of incur- able oncological patients. This paper contains description of our experience in anesthesia for tracheal stenting with re- spiratory support.
Materials And Methods: 23 patients were investigated retrospectively (15 males, 8females). They had 28 interventions under general anesthesia. 14 patients had malignant and 9 had non-malignant lesions. Complicated somatic status, stenosis extention and localization, type of laryngoscope. unprotected airways determined choice of in- travenous anesthesia with high-frequency ventilation and muscle relaxation.
Results: Improvement (dyspnea decreasing) was mentioned in 78,3% (18/23) cases after stenting, in 8,7% (2/23) cases improvement was slight; in 4,3% (1/23) cases - no change; in 8,7% (2/23) cases patients died complications after stenting occurred in 10 cases (43,5%). In 4 cases (17,4%) - stent displacement; in 2 cases (8,7%) - purulent tracheobronchitis; in 1 case (4,35%) - paroxysmal cough with pain. In 1 case loss of stent during paroxysmal cough and vocal cords edema occurred. In 2 cases (8,7%) operation was failed and patients died due to the lesion progression and respiratory insufficiency.
Conclusions: Anesthetic pro- tection is an important component at endoscopic recanalization with selfexpanded stents. Management is difficult due to complicated somatic status, and unprotected airways. Significant health enhancement, dyspnea decreasing even by exercise stress justified high anesthetics risks.

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) hold great promise for regenerative medicine thanks to their ability to self-renew and differentiate into somatic cells and the germline. ESCs correspond to pluripotent epiblast - the tissue from which the following three germ layers originate during embryonic gastrulation: the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Importantly, ESCs can be induced to differentiate toward various cell types by varying culture conditions, which can be exploited for modeling of developmental processes such as gastrulation.

Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by its aggressive nature. Its main clinical features include autonomic dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, and cerebellar ataxia.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive review of the existing literature, exploring studies and reports related to the mechanisms and treatment of multiple system atrophy related neurogenic bladder.

Background: Many cancer survivors experience a wide range of symptoms closely linked to psychological problems, highlighting the need for psychological treatment, one of the most popular being mindfulness. The use of the internet has greatly increased in the last decade, and has encouraged the use of remote-based interventions to help people living with cancer access treatment remotely via devices.
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of internet-based mindfulness interventions on the physical symptoms of people living with cancer, where physical symptoms are defined as distressing somatic experiences (eg fatigue, insomnia, and pain) regardless of the underlying cause.

Oropouche virus (OROV) is an orthobunyavirus endemic in the Brazilian Amazon that has caused numerous outbreaks of febrile disease since its discovery in 1955. During 2024, Oropouche fever spread from the endemic regions of Brazil into non-endemic areas and other Latin American and Caribbean countries, resulting in 13,014 confirmed infections. Similarly to other orthobunyaviruses, OROV can undergo genetic reassortment events with itself as well as other viruses.

Background: Mindfulness centered therapy has been shown to improve perinatal mental health outcomes. There is emerging evidence that mindfulness training (MT) can also be harnessed to improve somatic outcomes. Yet, little is known about which perinatal populations might benefit the most from mindfulness training interventions.
