[Diagnosis and management of patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma: Consensus of experts of the Russian Medical Society for Arterial Hypertension and the Multidisciplinary Group for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors].

The understanding of the nature of catecholamine-secreting tumors has changed significantly in recent years, affecting terminology and classification. Phaeochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PCC/PG) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor from chromaffin tissue that produces and secretes catecholamines. The incidence of PCC/PG is relatively low, with 2-8 cases per 1 million population per year; among patients with arterial hypertension, their prevalence is 0.

[Evaluation of the Functional Reserve and Exercise Tolerance in Patients with CHF in Clinical Trials (Consent Document of the Editorial board of the Journal of Cardiology, the Board of the Society of Specialists in Heart Failure (SSHF) and Working Group "Non-drug treatment methods" of SSHF)].

[Current treatment for spondyloarthritis: focus on netakimab. A review].

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of rheumatic diseases that includes ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and a number of other diseases. SpA lead to a significant social problem, since it is a common pathology that debuts mainly at a young age, significantly impairing the ability to work and the ability to social contacts of the most active part of the population. For all the main types of chronic progressive SpA, biological agents (biologics) are of great importance in patients with persistent activity despite standard treatment, especially in the case of predominantly axial involvement, since in this case it is actually the only option for effective treatment, in addition to the constant use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Human sodium current voltage-dependence at physiological temperature measured by coupling a patch-clamp experiment to a mathematical model.

Voltage-gated Na channels are crucial to action potential propagation in excitable tissues. Because of the high amplitude and rapid activation of the Na current, voltage-clamp measurements are very challenging and are usually performed at room temperature. In this study, we measured Na current voltage-dependence in stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes at physiological temperature.

[Differential diagnosis of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy after natalizumab withdrawal].

The appearance of new foci on MRI, the increase in neurological deficits, including the appearance of cognitive disorders and disturbances in the level of consciousness in patients with multiple sclerosis during the «washing period» when transferring from natalizumab (NZ) to another drug, may be due to both progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and exacerbation of the disease in the absence of therapy. Discontinuation of NS is fraught not only with a resumption, but with an increase in disease activity, the development of an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) due to the opening of the blood-brain barrier. Often, the processes of differential diagnosis of IRIS and natalizumab-associated PML are complex and require the use of additional methods of examination and monitoring of the dynamics of the patient's condition.
