Aim: The aim of the research was to study the dynamics of neurologic disorders in the context of combined therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Material And Methods: We examined 50 patients with diabetic polyneuropathy aged 50-70 years, with more than 12 months disease duration. The main group (n=30) included the patients who received 18 injections of Cocarnit against the background of hypoglycemic therapy. The control group patients (n=20) received only hypoglycemic therapy. The intensity and character of the pain on the background of the therapy was assessed on the TSS and NSS scales. An objective evaluation of the neurological status was performed using NDS. The state of the neuromotor apparatus was studied using stimulation electroneuromyography (ENMG) on motor fibers.
Results: As a result of the study, patients in the main group experienced a significant improvement in the NSS, TSS, NDS scales, as well as a decrease in the latent period, an increase in the M-response amplitude and n. peroneus impulse conduction rate.
Conclusion: The obtained data confirm the efficacy and high safety profile of Cocarnit in the treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are rare inherited metabolic disorders characterized by defects in the function of specific enzymes responsible for breaking down substrates within cellular organelles (lysosomes) essential for the processing of macromolecules. Undigested substrate accumulates within lysosomes, leading to cellular dysfunction, tissue damage, and clinical manifestations. Clinical features vary depending on the degree and type of enzyme deficiency, the type and extent of substrate accumulated, and the tissues affected.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a germline pathogenic variant in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene. Patients with MEN1 have a high risk for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with a penetrance of nearly 100%, pituitary adenomas (PitAd) in 40% of patients, and neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) of the pancreas (40% of patients), duodenum, lung, and thymus. Increased MEN1-related mortality is mainly related to duodenal-pancreatic and thymic NEN.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) severity and fat, bone, and muscle indices.
Methods: This study included 102 patients with OSAHS and retrospectively reviewed their physical examination data. All patients underwent polysomnography, body composition analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography (CT) and blood test.

Acne vulgaris is a common and challenging condition to treat. To assess the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris. This study included 30 patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris treated with intradermal injections of diluted BTX-A (microbotox) on the cheek in a regular grid pattern using very small droplets (microbotox).
