The aim of the study is to establish the effectiveness of mechanical support of blood circulation of patients with end-stage heart failure depending on the method of surgical correction. The results of the study are based on the data of examination and dynamic observation of 73 patients (median age 44 (16-69) years, men 68 patients, women 5 patients) who were treated from 2008-2019 іn the following medical institutions: Republican Scientific and Practical Center «Cardiology», Minsk, Republic of Belarus; in the Center of Cardiac Surgery on the Basis of KL «Feofania» DUS. Patients were examined during the initial examination, after 3 months and after a year. The results of surgical treatment of patients with critical heart disease insufficiency: after direct UTS: 24 (92%) patients were treated with positive result, 2 (8%) patients died. There were 18 (46%) patients performed secondary UTS, patients who were on LVAD therapy. 18 (46%) patients who continue LVAD therapy. On LVAD-therapy 3 (8%) patients died. The cause of death is purulent-septic lesions. Which patients were on BiVAD - therapy: secondary UTS performed 4 patients (50%). 4 (50%) patients died on BIVAD therapy. The cause of death in 2 (50%)cases of purulent-septic lesions, and in 2 (50%) cases it is an organ field insufficiency. Analysis of the results of the differential approach to surgical treatment patients with heart failure III-IV FC according to NYHA: patients with critical heart failure in the presence of contraindications to direct transplantation heart rate, it is advisable to consider the use of long-term mechanical circulatory support based on LVAD therapy (p<0001) and BiVAD - therapy (p<0001) as a mechanical bridge to heart transplantation. Applied long-term mechanical support of blood circulation in patients with high indicators of pulmonary hypertension (p<0001), allows to normalize the pressure in the pulmonary artery and consider performing a secondary heart transplant.

Up to 45% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience impulse control disorders (ICDs), characterized by a loss of voluntary control over impulses, drives or temptations. This study aimed to investigate whether previously identified genetic and psychiatric risk factors interact towards the development of ICDs in PD. A total of 278 de novo PD patients (ICD-free at enrollment) were selected from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative database.

Introduction: A key factor influencing the duration of untreated psychosis is that young individuals typically do not seek help during their initial psychotic experiences. This online study aimed to explore the efficacy of preventive video interventions providing information on psychosis on the attitudes towards seeking mental health care among young adults from the general population.

Methods: Participants (N = 147) were randomised to one of the following online conditions: a short 3-min video of an empowered patient or of a psychiatrist describing different aspects of mental illness, a short control video or no video.
