A course of hemosorption combined with chemotherapy resulted in much less frequent attacks of angina pectoris and in compensation of cardiac insufficiency in 27 coronary heart disease patients resistant to chemotherapy. There was an increase in the drugs efficacy. Sensitivity of the lymphocytes to chemotherapeutic agents administered rose as shown by rosette test due to specific unlocking of the receptors. The underlying mechanism of hemosorption-related compensation of cardiac insufficiency implies correction of secondary hyperaldosteronism and a decrease in the level of ADH leading to enhanced diuresis, natriuresis, inhibited kaliuresis and to normal values of blood electrolytes.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) frequently coexists with cardiorenal complications. Therefore, a holistic approach to patient management is required, with specialists such as primary care physicians, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and nephrologists working together to provide patient care. Although glycemic control is important in the management of T2D, patients with T2D and acceptable glycemic control are still at risk from cardiovascular (CV) events such as stroke, heart attack, and heart failure (HF).

Left atrial strain (LAS) was recently introduced as a parameter that reflects on left atrial function. Consequently, changes in LAS can inform the development of cardiovascular diseases, hence providing a window for non-invasive and cost-effective testing of these diseases and their complications at early stages of development, potentially offering a segway towards preventive interventions. LAS has yet to be implemented into standard practice.

For end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients requiring hemodialysis, reliable vascular access is crucial, especially when conventional supradiaphragmatic options are exhausted. This study reviews the technical aspects, clinical outcomes, and complications of translumbar and transhepatic tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) placements. These alternative infradiaphragmatic approaches provide essential hemodialysis access for patients with central venous occlusions.

Background: Little is known about how younger and older hospitalized patients differ with respect to reasons for admission, comorbidities, diagnostics, treatment and intercurrent problems.
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the previously named characteristics in the clinical profile of patients > 90 years old (nonagenarians) with a control group of patients 70-75 years old admitted to an emergency hospital department for internal medicine and cardiology.
Material And Method: The study included all consecutive nonagenarians and gender-matched control patients who were admitted during 2011.
