Study goal - to study the characteristics of the development of acute reno-cardial syndrome (ARCS) and correlation analysis between clinic-laboratory and instrumental indicators of cardiac involvement in young adults in acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSG) with acute nephritic syndrome (ANS) complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) and without it, to identify the role of the etiological factor on the course of APSG. 220 male patients with APSG with ANS aged 18-20 were examined. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on the functional state of kidneys. The first group included 140 patients with APSG without ANS, the second group included 80 patients with AKI. Impairment of cardiovascular function was observed in all 220 patients. In 71.4% of group I patients bradycardia occurred, in 83.7% of group II patients, in addition to bradycardia, extrasystolic arrhythmia was observed. Lung congestion occurred in 17.8% of patients of group I and in all patients of group II. ECG and Echocardiography studies conducted during the cardiac asthma attacks occurred as a decrease of voltage, broadening of the P wave, lengthening of the PQ interval, broadening of the QRS complex, dilatations of the right and left atrium. Thus in the development of acute reno-cardial syndrome (ARCS) the degree of manifestation of hypervolemia with hypertension, as a result of active immune inflammation of the glomerular apparatus with the development of AKI, plays the main role in the development of ARCS with APSG. ARCS is clinically manifested by cardiac asthma attacks, bradycardia, and rhythm disorders. The severity of clinical manifestations of AKI and ARCS correlates with the degree of macrohematuria, GFR decrease, complement C3 fraction, monocyte level and increased levels of CEC (ЦИК), ASLO. As a rule ARCS in case of APSG with ANS in young adults has a successful outcome. There is a direct correlation between the indicators of the etiological factor and clinical manifestation of the disease. The course was severe in case of previously occurred streptodermа.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by elevated FGF23 and chronic hypophosphatemia, leading to impaired skeletal mineralization and enthesopathies that are associated with pain, stiffness, and diminished quality of life. The natural history of enthesopathies in XLH remains poorly defined, partly due to absence of a sensitive quantitative tool for assessment and monitoring. This study investigates the utility of 18F-NaF PET/CT scans in characterizing enthesopathies in XLH subjects.

Purpose: There is a paucity of evidence examining clinician experiences with structured health-care transition (HCT) programs. Among HCT Learning Collaborative participants, this study describes clinician experiences with implementation of a structured HCT process: Got Transition's 6 Core Elements.
Methods: Representative members from 6 health systems designed a survey to collect clinician feedback regarding HCT and demographic and practice information.

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to determine the levels of stress, resilience and the sense of self-efficacy, as well as the influence of resilience and the sense of self-efficacy in shaping stress levels, in a sample of women from various countries of origin.
Methods: The study was carried out on a sample of Ukrainian (N = 82), Polish (N = 102), Slovak (N = 79), and Romanian (N = 42) women using the Sense of Stress Questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Brief Resilience Scale.
Results: Highest total stress levels were found among Ukrainian women, while the lowest were found among Polish women.

Eating disorders are a considerable and prevalent problem among adolescents. Due to their significant adverse health consequences, it is of key importance to examine available treatment options and their effects. Despite the shared criteria for eating disorders in adolescents and adults, the diagnostic and therapeutic processes in the former require distinct specialist interventions, including the entire family environment.

Negotiation of the intricate pulp canal space may pose a challenge in endodontic treatment. Consequently, appropriate diagnosis and thorough knowledge of the pattern and distribution of root canal systems are imperative for a more predictable outcome in the treatment of pulp diseases. Accordingly, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is deemed appropriate as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in endodontics.
