This review is devoted to the urgent problem of cardiology and oncology - the cardiotoxicity of chemotherapy drugs - anthracyclines, which are considered to be one of the most cardiotoxic and cause a variety of cardiotoxic effects. The review also examines the diagnosis, treatment or preventive treatment of this pathology. The urgency of the problem is associated with the possibility of early or late manifestations of cardiotoxicity, manifestations of cardiotoxicity against the background of cross treatment, manifestations of cardiotoxicity against the background of various concomitant diseases. The review identified 9 main categories of cardiovascular complications during chemotherapeutic treatment and presents the types of cardiotoxicity caused by the use of anthracyclines. The issue of heart failure as a manifestation of anthracycline cardiotoxicity and the approaches to early diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency were examined in detail. The recommendations of the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) (2012), the recommendations the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2016 regarding the diagnosis and treatment of these patients are reviewed. An overview of the literature on the treatment and diagnosis of this category of patients is presented, especially with concomitant diseases. Examination of the patients, the timing of the initiation of therapy, preventive treatment, medication correction of heart failure, the doses, the combinations of chemotherapeutic drugs are issues that are recommended for the multidisciplinary team to successfully manage these patients.

Importance: Mania/hypomania is the pathognomonic feature of bipolar disorder (BD). As BD is often misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder (MDD), replicable neural markers of mania/hypomania risk are needed for earlier BD diagnosis and pathophysiological treatment development.

Objective: To replicate the previously reported positive association between left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) activity during reward expectancy (RE) and mania/hypomania risk, to explore the effect of MDD history on this association, and to compare RE-related left vlPFC activity in individuals with and at risk of BD.

Importance: Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs) encompass various neuropsychiatric conditions that cause significant distress and impair daily functioning. Although standard treatments are often effective, approximately 60% of patients may not respond adequately, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic approaches.

Objective: To evaluate improvement in OCRD symptoms associated with glutamatergic medications as monotherapy or as augmentation to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, with a focus on double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials (RCTs).

Centre for Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Research, School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa.

Background: Data on tuberculosis (TB) incidence and risk factors among children living with HIV (CLHIV) in the universal ART era are limited.

Methods: We analysed routinely-collected data on TB diagnoses for CLHIV age ≤5 years, born 2018-2022, in the Westen Cape, South Africa. We examined factors associated with TB diagnosis, with death and loss to follow-up as competing events.
