Objective: Aim: To investigate the peculiarities of deviations of preoperative values of biochemical markers of inflammation in the blood serum of patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine after transpedicular fixation, with a complicated postoperative course to predict the development of various postoperative complications.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The content of glycoproteins (GP), sialic acids (SA), C-reactive protein (CRP), seroglicoids (SG), haptoglobin (HG), Veltman`s test (VT) were investigated. The results are comparable by the Student-Fisher method.
Objective: Aim: Optimization of conservative treatment schemes for generalized periodontitis (GP) against the background of somatic pathology, depending on the indicators of the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN).
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: CPITN was performed in 134 patients with GP against the background of various somatic pathologies and divided into main and comparison subgroups. Treatment scheme No.

Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has a considerable disease burden with life-long physical limitations, reduced work productivity and high societal costs. Trials on arthralgia at-risk for RA are therefore conducted, aiming to intercept evolving RA and reduce the disease burden. A 1-year course of methotrexate in patients with clinically suspect arthralgia (CSA) caused sustained improvements in subclinical joint inflammation and physical impairments.

Objectives: To assess the ability of a previously trained deep-learning algorithm to identify the presence of inflammation on MRI of sacroiliac joints (SIJ) in a large external validation set of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
Methods: Baseline SIJ MRI scans were collected from two prospective randomised controlled trials in patients with non-radiographic (nr-) and radiographic (r-) axSpA (RAPID-axSpA: NCT01087762 and C-OPTIMISE: NCT02505542) and were centrally evaluated by two expert readers (and adjudicator in case of disagreement) for the presence of inflammation by the 2009 Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) definition. Scans were processed by the deep-learning algorithm, blinded to clinical information and central expert readings.
