To study the characteristics of the course of the disease, quality of life and cytokine profile in patients with psoriasis vulgaris in the stationary stage and depression.Material and methods. A prospective, cross-sectional comparative study involved 154 patients with vulgar psoriasis in the stationary stage; Of these, two groups were formed: 83 patients with comorbid depression and 71 without comorbid depression. The Hamilton scale was used to determine depressive symptoms and severity.Result. Patients with psoriasis vulgaris in the stationary stage and depression were characterized by a younger age (p=0.007), a more severe course of the disease according to the PASI index (p<0.001), visual analogue scale (p=0.014), and a higher frequency of relapses (p=0.012) and a lower level of quality of life according to the DLQI questionnaire (p<0.001), as well as higher values of IL-6 and IL-17 in the blood serum (p=0.011; p=0.001, respectively). An inverse correlation was established between the average total value on the Hamilton scale and the age of the patients (r= –0.61; p=0.002), a direct one – with the average total values on the PASI index (r=0.72; p=0.001), visually analogue scale (r=0.63; p<0.001), DLQI (r=0.69; p=0.001) and IL-17 (r=0.62; p=0.012).Conclusion. In patients with depression, psoriasis vulgaris in the stationary stage is more severe, accompanied by an increase in systemic proinflammatory changes and a more significant decrease in quality of life than in patients without depression. The results obtained must be taken into account when choosing a therapeutic strategy for psoriasis vulgaris, which will personalize treatment and increase its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":18337,"journal":{"name":"Medical alphabet","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141819652","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}

Nutritional deficiency stands as the most common complication observed in EB, with its development influenced by a multitude of contributing factors.Purpose of the study. To construct a predictive model for the development of protein-energy malnutrition in patients with various forms of EB, identify the main features affecting the sensitivity of the predictive model, and evaluate the model’s validity based on retrospective data on the presence of protein-energy malnutrition in this patient category.Methods. The study involved 101 patients aged 3 to 18 years with simplex (n=25), junctional (n=10), and dystrophic (n=66) СEB. The Birmingham EB Severity Score, laboratory and anthropometric parameters, as well as data on the presence of gastrointestinal complications, were used for the analysis of disease progression and predictive model construction. The Scikit-learn library of the programming language Python was utilized for building the machine learning model.Results. In the construction of the predictive model, the RandomForestClassifier model showed the best results. The developed machine learning model can correctly determine whether a patient has chronic protein-energy malnutrition (class 1, HAZ < –2) or not (class 0, HAZ > –2) with an accuracy of 92%, sensitivity of 85.7%, and specificity of 100%.Conclusions. The machine learning model presented in this study predicts the values of the Height-for-Age Z-score (HAZ) and can have practical significance in medical practice and clinical research. The model can be used for early diagnosis of protein-energy malnutrition in patients with EB, which may allow healthcare professionals to timely start nutritional support and prevent possible complications of the disease, as well as develop individual nutrition and treatment plans for patients.","PeriodicalId":18337,"journal":{"name":"Medical alphabet","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141819397","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}

To evaluate the effectiveness of the standardized SALT scale to determine the severity of AA patients.Materials and methods. A one-time retrospective cohort study was conducted. There were 40 patients with AA under supervision. The gender distribution of the patients was as follows: 15 men (36.6%) and 25 (63.3%) women. The average age was 29.4 years in the 18–54 age range.Results. The AA debut varied widely in age range from 2 to 45 years. The average age at which the pathological process began was 18,2±4,4 years. 22.4% of patients with a scalp hair area of more than 25%, as well as hair loss in other areas of the body and changes in the nail.The beginning of AA is fixed to 10 years. More than two relapses occurred in 54.5% of patients with scalp hair lesions of more than 25% and only 9.2% of cases with foetal AA.The following clinical forms were diagnosed: foetal (12 patients), lenticular (ophiasis, inversive ophiasis) (7 patients), multi-focal (11 patients), total and universal (10 patients). According to the SBN Hair Loss State scale, S1 clinically corresponded to focal alopecia, S2 -S4 – ophazis, multi-focal alopecia, S5 – TA and UA.

Early treatment can modify the course of the disease and prevent not only the development of severe forms and disability, but also stop the progression of psoriasis, taking into account all stages of pathogenesis. In this aspect, the prescription of IL-17A blockers is justified.Material and methods. The study included a total of 16 patients aged 18–35 years with a period of manifestation of skin psoriasis <1 year, who received netakimab at a dosage of 120 mg subcutaneously at 0, 1, 2 weeks and then 120 mg every month for 52 weeks.Results. By week 4, 68.75% (n=11) of patients achieved PASI 75, 37.5 % (n=6) PASI90 and 18.75% (n=3) PASI100. By week 8, delta PASI75 was observed in 87.5% (n=14) of patients, 68.75% (n=11) – PASI90 and 50% (n=8) – PASI100. By week 24, 100% (n=16) of patients achieved PASI75,81.25% (n=13) – PASI90 and 68.75% (n=11) – PASI100. By week 52, PASI75 delta was observed in 100% (n=16) patients, 100% (n=16) had PASI90 and 87.5% (n=14) had PASI100.Conclusions. Patients with a shorter duration of the disease (up to 1 year) during netakimab therapy achieve PASI75, PASI90, PASI100 in a shorter time (comparison with clinical trial data). In the presence of factors for the aggressive course of psoriasis (rapid progression of the process, widespread process upon manifestation, lack of effect from topical therapy, constantly progressive course, risk factors for PsA, subclinical course of PsA), early prescription of genetic engineering biological therapy (netakimab) should be considered as the most appropriate strategy.","PeriodicalId":18337,"journal":{"name":"Medical alphabet","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141820506","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}
