The paper presents the results of plasmapheresis inclusion into a combined therapy of pyelonephritis. Out of 79 patients treated, 42 had urosepsis, 25 developed pyelonephritis in pregnancy, 12 had complicating chronic renal failure. Uroseptic patients were examined for hemostasis, the rest for immune status. There were symptoms of DIC syndrome in the former and immunity suppression in the latter. After the combined therapy with plasmapheresis, latent hypercoagulation and intoxication disappeared, uroseptic manifestations reduced. The above treatment of pregnancy pyelonephritis stopped inflammation, promoted activation of the immune system. In patients with chronic renal failure adjuvant plasmapheresis enhanced cellular and humoral immunity, neutrophil function, the number of middle-size molecules in the blood diminished. The latter improved renal function in decreasing uremia.

Purpose: To demonstrate the effects of postoperative oropharyngeal rehabilitation on inflammatory mediators and antioxidant capacity in adults with obstructive sleep apnea.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study enrolled participants without blinding between January 2020 and December 2022. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea were divided into a conservative treatment group (n = 17), surgery group (n = 23), or surgery combined with oropharyngeal rehabilitation (surgery + rehabilitation) group (n = 19).

Immunotherapy, primarily with immune checkpoint inhibitors, has become pivotal in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), leading to significant tumor burden reduction. However, its applicability in liver transplantation remains controversial. Due to the potential risks of rejection limiting large-scale clinical trials and the incomplete understanding of underlying mechanisms, whether transplant recipients can benefit from immunotherapy remains uncertain.

d-Lactic acidosis is an uncommon cause of acidosis that occurs in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Reduced intestinal absorption surface leads to carbohydrate malabsorption, fermented by abnormal colonic bacterial flora, resulting in elevated d-lactate levels. It should be suspected in SBS patients who exhibit typical neurological symptoms without other apparent causes, along with metabolic acidosis with normal l-lactate levels.

Patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers may require hospitalization and face an increased risk of amputation, which can significantly impact their quality of life. One potential solution is exercise, which can regulate blood glucose levels, improve wound healing, and enhance overall well-being. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the impact of a lower limb resistance training program combined with breathing-regulation techniques on glycemic control, wound healing, and quality of life in patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers.
