Background: Bronchial asthma (BA) is a serious problem. It was found that the frequency of arterial hypertension (AH) detection in patients with asthma is about 30 %. At patients practically all types of violations of a warm rhythm meet a bronkhoobstruktivny syndrome. Emergence of rather new preparations - If-blockers, opens new opportunities in correction of heart rate (HR) and a cardioprotection at a combination of AH and BA.
Aim: To assess therapy diltiazem-retard and ivabradine on structurally functional changes of a cardiac muscle and HR at patients with AH in combination with BA.
Material And Methods: Patients (n=91) with BA with AH 1, 2. All patients were outpatients and taken therapy on BA with inhaled corticosteroids. The patients used a 2-agonists. All patients were performed the echocardioscopy on Acuson 128XP/ 10c (USA). Holter monitor ECG (HM-EKG) was found myocardium ischemia - 18 patients, research was continued by 73 persons. The patients were divided into 2 groups. In the first group made n=37, age 53+/-7,64, received diltiazem-retard. The second group included n=36, age 51,2+/-7,13 years - ivabradine. Duration of observation is 12 weeks.
Results And Conclusion: Therapy ivabradine and diltiazem at patients BA according to HM-EKG reliable decrease in frequency of registration of ventricular extrasistoliya in days and heart rate (HR) (<0,05), the quantity of supraventricular extrasistoliya per day doubtfully decreased. Diltiazem wasn't more effective concerning decrease in HR, ventricular and supraventricular extrasistoliya, when comparing with ivabradine (>0,05). The result of 12 week therapy ivabradine at patients with a combination of AH and BA more significant was observed in comparison with diltiazem, regression a hypertrophy of the left ventricle, improvement of diastolic function and almost full regression of warm ektopiya. The tendency was to decrease and stabilization arterial pressure and decrease in HR to purpose level.

Background/aims: Rare disease drug development faces unique challenges, such as genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity within small patient populations and a lack of established outcome measures for conditions without previously successful drug development programs. These challenges complicate the process of selecting the appropriate trial endpoints and conducting clinical trials in rare diseases. In this descriptive study, we examined novel drug approvals for non-oncologic rare diseases by the U.

We collected and double-annotated 33,017 discharge summaries from 151 medical institutions on a municipal regional health information platform, developed a BERT-based Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Model (BiLSTM) and Conditional Random Field (CRF) model, and tested the performance of privacy identification on the dataset. To explore the performance of different substructures of the neural network, we created five additional baseline models and evaluated the impact of different models on performance.

This case describes a patient with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and persistently elevated serum vitamin B12 concentrations that were not due to supplementation or associated with hepatic or hematological pathology. Laboratory investigations suggested the presence of macro-B12 as the cause of this patient's raised serum vitamin B12. Macro-B12 is often formed when vitamin B12-vitamin binding proteins (transcobalamin and haptocorrin) complex with immunoglobulins.

Introduction: The sequential parallel comparison design has emerged as a valuable tool in clinical trials with high placebo response rates. To further enhance its efficiency and effectiveness, adaptive strategies, such as sample size adjustment and allocation ratio modification can be employed.
Methods: We compared the performance of Jennison and Turnbull's method and the Promising Zone approach for sample size adjustment in a two-phase sequential parallel comparison design study.

Purpose: To present the case of a young patient with BRAF V600E-mutant cutaneous melanoma who developed bilateral choroidal metastases complicated by neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in both eyes following the interruption of nivolumab therapy.
Methods: A 28-year-old female with primary cutaneous melanoma of the left hand underwent surgical resection and adjuvant nivolumab. Immunotherapy was discontinued due to immune-related acute interstitial nephritis.
