Article Abstract
Objective: Aim: To investigate the effect of ivabradine on the hemodynamics and contractility of the myocardium and the features of NT-pro-BNP production in patients with stable ischemic heart disease after endovascular revascularization of the myocardium depending on the number of affected coronary arteries during 12 months of therapy.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The object of the study was 120 patients with stable coronary artery disease: angina pectoris of functional class III with heart failure IIA FC III with preserved and moderately reduced ejection fraction of the left ventricle, who underwent coronary artery stenting. The examined patients were randomized according to the number of affected coronary vessels and the method of treatment.
Results: Results: Ivabradine in patients with stable ischemic heart disease after 12 months of therapy had a significant beneficial effect on the structural and functional parameters of the myocardium (contributed to the reverse remodeling of the left ventricle), which did not depend on the number of stented coronary arteries (p<0.05). In patients with stented one coronary artery, all structural and functional indicators of the heart after 12 months of treatment reached the values of practically healthy individuals from the control group. The use of ivabradine in patients with stable ischemic heart disease with heart failure with preserved and intermediate ejection fraction of the left ventricle after coronary stenting made it possible to ensure the correction of a number of clinical and pathogenetic links of the disease, which generally contributed to the improvement of metric and volumetric parameters of the heart.
Conclusion: Conclusions: Ivabradine made it possible to significantly increase the effectiveness of standard therapy, which was manifested by a faster recovery of the geometry and contractility of the left ventricle. Therefore, the use of ivabradine along with standard therapy was appropriate for such a contingent of patients. The management of patients with stable coronary heart disease should combine adequate (surgical and pharmacological) treatment of the underlying disease, further individual medication correction of symptoms and circulatory disorders inherent in coronary heart disease and heart failure.

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a common head and neck malignant tumor, which is difficult to treat at the advanced NPC due to its occult and high metastatic potential to the cervical lymph nodes and distant organs. Low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) is increasingly being investigated for potential cancer treatment. When combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, LDRT has been shown to significantly improve the immune microenvironment of tumors, thereby promote the immune attack on tumor cells.

Background: Several studies have documented a beneficial short-term effect on lipid profile after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), but there is limited data on long-term changes.
Objectives: To describe long-term (> 10 years) changes in lipid profile after RYGB and to explore the relationship of lipid changes to changes in weight and baseline and demographic parameters.
Methods: The BAROBS study is a prospective observational study post RYGB conducted at three different hospitals.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is increasingly prevalent, yet longitudinal outcome data are scarce. This study aimed to characterise demographic and longitudinal clinical changes in a cohort of patients with IIH.
Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis on adult patients diagnosed with IIH (Friedman criteria) enrolled in the neuro-ophthalmology database (NODE) across two tertiary centres.

Background: The presented study identified the appropriate ocrelizumab dosing regimen for patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS).
Methods: Patients with POMS aged 10-17 years were enrolled into cohort 1 (body weight [BW] < 40 kg, ocrelizumab 300 mg) and cohort 2 (BW ≥ 40 kg, ocrelizumab 600 mg) during a 24-week dose-exploration period (DEP), followed by an optional ocrelizumab (given every 24 weeks) extension period.
Primary Endpoints: pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (CD19 B-cell count); secondary endpoint: safety; exploratory endpoints: MRI activity, protocol-defined relapses, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score change.
