Aim: to study the course of chronic abacterial prostatitis with the inflammatory component (CAPIC) depending on the somatotype in men of the first period of mature age taking complex treatment with a use of local and systemic ozone therapy.
Materials And Methods: A total of 306 men of asthenic, normostenic and pyknic somatotypes with CAPIC were followed-up. Along with standard therapy, all patients received systemic and local ozone therapy. Patients complaints were recorded before and after treatment. Questionnaires for total assessment of the symptoms of CAPIC and male sexual function were used for monitoring of clinical manifestations.
Results: Sexual disturbances before and after treatment were less pronounced in patients with normostenic somatotype in comparison to patients with asthenic and pyknic somatotypes. Pain syndrome was less common in normostenic patients (0.83+/-0.09 points). The most severe dysuric symptoms (<0.03) was noted in patients with pyknic somatotype, such as weak urine stream, interrupted stream and incomplete bladder emptying (1.33+/-0.14 points), increased frequency of urination (0.91+/-0.11 points), dribbling (1.22+/-0.14 points). In addition, they had a maximum influence of the symptoms of CAPIC on the professional activity (1.50+/-0.08 points; <0.02). After treatment, a clinical index (CI) of CAPIC in the severity of clinical manifestations in patients of the normostenic somatotype was insignificant (9.29+/-0.55 points), while in patients with asthenic and pyknic somatotype it was moderate, almost insignificant (11.71+/-0.62 and 13.62+/-0.61 points, respectively). Overall, CAPIC was the most severe in patients with a pyknic somatotype, which was objectively confirmed by the of CI of CAPIC. However, standard therapy with a using of regional and local ozone therapy in these patients were more efficient in comparison with patients with other somatotypes and was accompanied by an almost twice decrease in CI of CAPIC (from 24.32+/-0.73 to 13.62+/-0.61 points).

Osteopetrosis, also known as marble bone disease, is a genetic condition characterised by generalised sclerosis of bones. The osteoclastic cells responsible for bone resorption are defective and nonfunctional. These patients tend to have low bone quality in spite of increased bone deposition and thus experience multiple fractures during their life span.

Background: Oxidative stress, which refers to an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and the body's antioxidant defense mechanisms, is implicated in the pathogenesis of various chronic diseases by promoting cellular damage, inflammation, and dysfunction. Numerous methods have been reported for detecting ROS/RNS in vitro and in vivo; however, detecting methods for the secondary products of the ROS/RNS reactions, particularly quasi-stable oxidized products, have been much less explored.
Method: In this report, we discovered that acetylacetone, a core moiety of curcumins, is a new scaffold for generating chemiluminescence in the presence of oxidants.
Background: Detection of presymptomatic individuals or those with subtle cognitive changes in midlife may prevent or slow the course of Alzheimer's Disease by identifying candidates for disease-modifying treatments. Utilizing newer delivery approaches involving digital measures shows promise for cognitive phenotyping, early detection, ease of administration, and scoring, particularly in low-resource settings. However, the feasibility of these approaches, along with their association with demographics and their effectiveness in detecting fine-grained aspects of cognitive performance in low-resource settings, remains unclear.

The present study examined the time course of cognitive impairments cross-sectionally and across two time points (spaced 32 months) in relation to Aβ chronicity (i.e.

Background: With its rapidly aging population, Japan has been seeing an increase in the concurrent incidence of dementia during heart failure treatment, making disease management difficult. Nevertheless, not much has been uncovered about the actual state of the treatment status and prognosis of heart failure patients with dementia.
Method: At the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, we retrospectively analyzed cases of patients who died of heart failure between 2018 and 2022, who were also complicated with dementia, and whose treatment progress from the initial onset of heart failure to death could be confirmed.
