To evaluate the content of SCLC in the feces of UC patients with varying degrees of severity of the current attack, as well as to investigate the relationship between the content of SCLC with dietary characteristics, body mass index (BMI), and dyspenia.Materials and methods. The study involved 80 UC patients, conducted a survey, objective examination, filling out medical history and outpatient records, blood and stool sampling. The content of SCLC was determined in feces. The study of nutritional characteristics in patients with UC was conducted using a standardized questionnaire of the WHO CINDI program. Statistical methods: median (Me), upper and lower quartiles (P25, P75) were calculated; Mann-Whitney criterion; Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion; nonparametric correlation analysis was performed.Results. The absolute content of SCFCS in the feces of patients with UC is lower than the reference values. The relative content of propionic acid in the subgroup with severe attack was significantly lower than in the remission subgroup, in the subgroup with mild and moderate attack of the disease. In patients with body weight deficiency, the relative content of propionic acid is lower than in UC patients with normal or overweight. A positive relationship was found between the total content of SCFCS in feces and the amount of dietary fiber consumed in the form of fruits and vegetables. In patients with dinapenia, the relative content of butyric acid in feces is significantly lower than in patients without dinapenia.","PeriodicalId":18337,"journal":{"name":"Medical alphabet","volume":"38 s172","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141003472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, modern clinical guidelines note that when prescribing PPIs in large doses for a long period, the possibility of side effects should be taken into account. In recent years, a number of foreign reviews have been published that examine the associations between PPIs and a number of diseases/conditions. We searched the PubMed and Scopus information databases for publications on the safety of PPI use, including sources up to January 30, 2024. In this review, we examined the effect of long-term use of PPIs on the urinary system. This review demonstrates possible changes in the urinary system and an increased risk of developing nephrolithiasis, acute interstitial nephritis, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal failure with long-term use of PPIs, which should certainly be taken into account when prescribing them for a long period, especially in patients with comorbid pathology.","PeriodicalId":18337,"journal":{"name":"Medical alphabet","volume":"76 s323","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141002343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cohort study involved 132 patients with abdominal sepsis with SOFA >7 and blood lactate >1.6 mmol/L. Septic shock was diagnosed in 56 % of patients. TPTD in the early periods of intensive care was began in 53.8 % of patients. Logistic regression and ROC-analysis were used to process the data.Results. Early use of invasive monitoring (OR 2,3715, 95 % CI 1,1107–5,0635, p=0,026, AUC 0.655) and infusion volume >43 ml/kg per day (OR 1.0313, 95 % CI 1.0073–1.0558, p=0.01, AUC 0.677) were predictors of survival in patients with abdominal sepsis. The use of TPTD compared to patients of group II was accompanied by an increase in the daily infusion volume (53.7 [38.1–63.5] vs 38.2 [29.9–47.2], ml/kg per day, p = 0.0001), more frequent use of inotropic drugs (39.4 vs 16.4 %, p = 0.004), and higher level of the inotropic scale (0 [0–4.7] vs 0 [0–0], p = 0.01). There were no differences in the frequency of prescription (57.7 vs 65.5 %, p = 0.376) and dosages (0.2 [0.1–0.4] vs 0.3 [0.2–0.4] μg/kg/min, p = 0.554) of norepinephrine.

The autopsy data of 44 patients with STEMI who died at different times after PCI performed within the first 12 hours (27 cases), or 12–24 hours (17 cases), without ECG signs of reperfusion after the intervention, were analyzed. The comparison group consisted of 85 deceased without reperfusion therapy (RT). Histological examination of the myocardium was performed at following time: within 12 hours, at 13–24 hours, 2–4 days, 5–8 days, 9–15 and 16–22 days. The most common cause of death was acute left ventricular failure (ALVF) both in the group of blood flow restoration without ECG signs of reperfusion, and in the group without RT: 85 % and 79 %, respectively. In each of the two groups the number of deaths occurred in the first 12 hours exceeded one third, half of the patients died in the subsequent 12 hours, two thirds of the deaths occurred within further 2–3 days. The rates of risk factors: older age, anterior and recurrent myocardial infarction, three-vessel lesion of the coronary artery, and a large infarction area were similar in the two groups. From the first hours after PCI, the infarction zone was characterized by hemorrhagic imbibition, numerous injuries of the microcirculatory bed, by the signs of blood flow restoration in damaged vessels appeared from days 2–4, early manifestations of repair from days 5–7. In the MI group without PCI, the hemorrhagic demarcation started on days from 3–4, coagulation necrosis prevailed in the microvascular bed, signs of repair appeared at a later date. Multiple spasms and thromboses in the microvasculature may have been a response to a blood pressure drop that accompanies an acute decrease in the left ventricle contractile function caused by a large infarction area and/or unresolved complications arising during the interventions per se. This mechanism explains the rapid progression of left ventricular failure, the most common cause of death after the interventions with achieving the epicardial blood flow without ECG signs of reperfusion. The revealed microcirculation disorders reflect the absence of myocardial reperfusion, which is more prognostically significant than the restoration of epicardial blood flow.","PeriodicalId":18337,"journal":{"name":"Medical alphabet","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141007902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
