AI Article Synopsis
- * It often occurs alongside other metabolic syndrome components such as high blood pressure, obesity, and unhealthy cholesterol levels, which increase health risks.
- * The disorder develops slowly, allowing for early diagnosis and potential reversal, and the review discusses its definition, detection, and consequences while recommending future research and clinical practices.
Article Abstract
Prediabetes is a glucose metabolism disorder considered as a distinct nosological entity which strongly predicts the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This nosological entity itself is a serious condition indicating an increased risk of atherosclerotic and oncological complications. In patients with prediabetes, other components of metabolic syndrome are usually present, such as arterial hypertension, obesity or dyslipidaemia, further increasing an individual's risk of morbidity and mortality. Prediabetes is a long-developing disorder which offers enough time for early diagnosis and intervention; it may even be reversible. This review summarizes current knowledge on the definition, detection, epidemiology, cardiovascular and other consequences of prediabetes. It also gives suggestions for future research, along with recommendations for clinical practice.

[Evolution of views on the phenomenon of spiritual possession within the framework of psychiatric pathology (psychopathological, transnosological and transcultural aspects)].
Zh Nevrol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova

The spiritual possession phenomenon (SPP), is a complex transnosological, transcultural syndrome, which is based on the patients' perception that some spiritual entity (spirit, demon, jinn, shaitan, «ikotka», dybbuk, Buddha, etc.) is influencing or possessing them. Modern classifications of diseases, aimed at expanding our ideas about the distinction between the norm and pathology of mental disorders, do not contribute to a clear psychopathological differentiation of SPP, the determination of its nosological affiliation and the choice of appropriate therapeutic tactics for these conditions.

Background/objectives: A modern classification distinguishes between two nosological entities posing an intermediate risk between differentiated and anaplastic carcinoma: poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma and differentiated high-grade thyroid carcinoma. There are currently few studies searching for the preoperative molecular genetic markers of high-grade papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC HG), primarily because of a recent WHO reclassification and singling out of a separate entity: high-grade follicular cell-derived nonanaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Therefore, this work was aimed at identifying PTC HG-specific microRNAs and mRNAs that reliably distinguish them from differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma in preoperative cytology specimens (fine-needle aspiration biopsies).

Background: Focal seizures may encompass vestibular sensations in their symptomatology. When these manifestations occur in isolation or constitute the predominant symptom, they prompt consideration for diagnosing recurrent paroxysmal vertigo. However, the characterization of "vestibular epilepsy" remains debated and underexplored.

In ovarian cancer, surgery is the pivot of treatment, to which medical oncological treatment is added by recommendation in most cases. This is a single centre sample of 263 cases with OSEC operated from January 2014 until December 2021 with a 28-month period of follow-up, until 30th April 2024.
