[Cellular engineering in periodontology].

An overview of various cell engineering techniques being developed for modern conservative and reconstructive periodontology is presented. The accelerated development of cellular engineering technologies poses to medicine and, in particular, periodontics, the task of early implementation of the results of such experiments into patient management protocols. The main groups of promising techniques that are closest to practical healthcare are: isolation and use of stem cells; synthesis of biologically active (inductive) signaling molecules; development of scaffolds that ensure three-dimensional tissue growth.

[Possibilities of post-processing of multislice computed tomography results in non-invasive diagnosis of pancreatic fibrosis].

Aim: To evaluate the possibilities of post-processing of multidetector computed tomography (CT) results in the non-invasive diagnosis of pancreatic fibrosis (PF).

[Prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in Russia: a meta-analysis of population-based studies].

Aim: To systematize data on the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the adult population of Russia.

Materials And Methods: The search for studies was conducted in the electronic databases MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index) from January 2000 to December 2022. The review included relevant publications in peer-reviewed periodicals in English or Russian, publications with data from cross-sectional epidemiological studies assessing the prevalence of GERD in the Russian population, studies on adult patients with GERD, and publications with detailed descriptive statistics that allow using the data in the meta-analysis.

Comparing Laparoscopic Total Extraperitoneal and Lichtenstein Mesh Repair for Inguinal Hernias: A Focus on Patient Outcomes.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate post-operative outcomes by comparing factors such as post-operative pain, duration of hospitalization, time needed to resume normal and full activities, and complications between laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) and Lichtenstein tension-free mesh hernioplasty or repair (LMR) for inguinal hernias.

Materials And Methods: A prospective study was conducted involving male patients undergoing either LMR or laparoscopic TEP mesh repair, with 30 patients in each group. The study assessed post-operative pain, duration of hospital stay, return to normal activities, and complications.

Atrial fibrillation and COVID-19: an analysis of the ambulatory database.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder in clinical practice. It worsens the quality of life of patients, leads to an increase in the mortality rate because of its association with a high risk of thromboembolic complications. The current pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, which began in March 2020, was marked by an increase in cardiovascular diseases, including an increase in the number of patients with AF.

Role of compliance in Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment: Results of the European Registry on H. pylori management.

Background: Adherence to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication treatment is a cornerstone for achieving adequate treatment efficacy.

Objective: To determine which factors influence compliance with treatment.

History of chronic gastritis: How our perceptions have changed.

Currently, the diagnostic strategy for chronic gastritis (CG) is aimed not just at fixing the presence of gastric mucosal inflammation, but also at gastric cancer (GC) risk stratification in a particular patient. Modern classification approach with the definition of the stage of gastritis determines the need, activities and frequency of dynamic monitoring of a patient. However, this attitude to the patient suffering from CG was far from always.

An Increase in the Left Atrium Volume During Exercise is Associated With a Positive Result of a Diastolic Stress Test in Patients With Arterial Hypertension.

Aim: To study the relationship between changes in left atrial volume (LAV) during exercise and the result of a diastolic stress test (DST) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH).

Material And Methods: The study included 219 patients with AH without ischemic heart disease and atrial fibrillation. During the DST performed before and after exercise, the ratio of transmitral flow velocity to mitral annular velocity (E/e'), the left atrial global longitudinal strain in the reservoir phase (reservoir strain), and LAV were determined.

Type 1 Autoimmune Pancreatitis in Europe: Clinical Profile and Response to Treatment.

Background & Aims: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an immune-mediated disease of the pancreas with distinct pathophysiology and manifestations. Our aims were to characterize type 1 AIP in a large pan-European cohort and study the effectiveness of current treatment regimens.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed adults diagnosed since 2005 with type 1 or not-otherwise-specified AIP in 42 European university hospitals.

[Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery].

Glaucoma is a severe, rapidly progressing disease that in the absence of proper treatment leads to blindness in 20% of patients. According to the World Glaucoma Association, this disease is the most socially significant in modern ophthalmology and requires searching for new and effective methods of treatment. This article presents the results of research and reviews on this issue, considers both conservative therapy and surgical methods of treatment, analyzes in detail modern methods of micro-invasive eye surgery actively used in clinical practice.

Comparison of the management of Helicobacter pylori infection between the older and younger European populations.

The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori remains high in the older population. Specific age-related peculiarities may impact the outcomes of H. pylori treatment.

Where is obstetric anesthesiology heading in the next decade? An Eastern European perspective.

European countries of "Eastern Block" origin took different healthcare and economic development trajectories after the Berlin Wall fell. Despite decreased maternal and neonatal mortality in the last two decades, healthcare disparities exist between the various countries. Minimum standards for obstetric anesthesia are not available for every maternity patient.
