Severe asthma targeted therapy effectiveness depends on precise targeting of the selected drug to the key link in pathogenesis. Therefore, severe asthma phenotyping in real clinical practice is relevant.Aim. To determine main clinical and allergological characteristics of patients with severe asthma and to establish important phenotyping signs determined choice of a targeted drug for severe asthma treatment.Materials and methods. The prospective and retrospective study involved patients (n = 198) of the Sverdlovsk region registry receiving targeted therapy of severe asthma. Considering clinical and allergological picture, allergic, non-allergic eosinophilic and mixed severe asthma phenotypes were identified. Clinical and laboratory characteristics of phenotypes were described. A phenotyping algorithm was developed.Results. In the register of patients (n = 198) with severe asthma, non-allergic eosinophilic asthma was 46.5%, allergic – 34.8%, mixed – 18.7%. Significant signs for phenotyping were identified: age of asthma onset, proven allergy, Phadiatop ImmunoCAP level and blood eosinophils on baseline, concomitant allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and hyper-sensitivity to NSAIDs. The main signs of allergic severe asthma determined: early onset, proven allergy and a positive result of Phadiatop ImmunoCAP (the probability of allergic phenotype increases with Phadiatop ≥ 1.53 PAU/l). Signs of non-allergic eosinophilic asthma were eosinophilia ≥ 150 cells/µl, absence of allergy, concomitant chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and hypersensitivity to NSAIDs, late onset (after 30 years). Signs were identified for mixed asthma: presence of proven allergy or latent sensitization in combination with high level of Phadiatop ImmunoCAP, late onset, eosinophilia ≥ 300 cells/µl, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, hypersensitivity NSAIDs.Conclusions. The algorithm for severe asthma phenotyping based on the isolation of eosinophilia of allergic and non-allergic origin is proposed. Severe asthma phenotyping, which can be carried out in real clinical practice, should facilitate the selection of an initial targeted drug.","PeriodicalId":18391,"journal":{"name":"Meditsinskiy sovet = Medical Council","volume":"71 s294","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141376461","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}

Reflux of the gastric contents into the oral cavity refers to the extraesophageal presentation of the disease, which, in the absence of timely treatment, can result in erosion of dental hard tissue (EDHT) through repeated exposure of the dental tissue to acidic contents. EDHT are non-carious lesions of the dental hard tissues (mainly enamel, and in some cases dentin), induced by a chemical reaction involving acids, which results in demineralization processes. The incidence rates of EDHT in adult patients with GERD are 32.5–51.5%. The EDHT in GERD develops in stages. Initially, the gradual degradation of tooth pelicula happens when it gradually becomes decayed by repeated acidic attacks. The loss of the pelicula results in direct contact of hydrochloric acid refluxate with the enamel surface and initiation of its demineralization at pH < 5.5 with dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals. Given the high prevalence of GERD in the population, it seems important to update an integrated approach to the treatment of such patients, which involves pharmacotherapy provided by the gastroenterologist, as well as prevention and minimally invasive treatment of presentations in the oral cavity by the dentist. Patients with EDHT due to GERD need to maintain individual oral hygiene (use mouth washes with a neutral pH level, avoid abrasive toothpastes), use remineralization therapy at home applying remogels (Tooth Mousse), and also be observed by a dentist as part of the follow-up care. Minimally invasive treatment by the dentist involves restorations using composite tooth filling materials and ceramic veneers. It is reasonable to empirically use proton pump inhibitors twice a day for 3 months for the direct treatment of GERD in patients with EDHT.","PeriodicalId":18391,"journal":{"name":"Meditsinskiy sovet = Medical Council","volume":"9 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141380248","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}

A number of literature sources were analyzed, according to the results of the analysis, it was found that at the moment six cases of the development of synchronous lung cancer and ММ have been described in the world, in most of which the age of patients was less than 70 years, which indicates a relatively early development of ММ. The issues of differential diagnosis of pneumonia and lung cancer are considered; the importance of early detection of malignant neoplasms (especially at the outpatient stage) is emphasized. It has been established that in some cases pneumonia can mask cancer, especially the detection of neoplasia after diagnosing pneumonia of the upper lobe localization. It has been suggested that the pathogenesis of lung cancer and ММ associated with intensive expression of CD38 may be common, and an example of a positive clinical effect on unresectable lung cancer with daratumumab is given (CD38-blocking monoclonal antibody used in MM therapy). At the same time, the revealed observation of the combined development of oncological diseases is very interesting, since in patients with different types of cancer, as a rule, each tumor tends to develop sequentially. However, our case was analyzed in comparison with literature data with cases of concomitant development of multiple myeloma and lung cancer simultaneously.

It is now well known that a proportion of patients with COVID-19 develop a pathological systemic inflammatory response with complications resulting in multiple organ failure. The severity and prognosis of the disease, as well as the effectiveness of the treatment provided should be assessed as early as possible. For this purpose, a number of laboratory markers are used, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, fibrinogen, ferritin, and changes in these parameters serve as a basis for the disease prognosis.Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of levilimab in outpatients with COVID-19 based on the analysis of changes in laboratory markers of blood inflammatory activity.Material and methods. A total of 120 patients with COVID-19 receiving standard therapy (ST) were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups: the treatment group of patients who received 2 injections of levilimab, IL-6 receptor blocker, included 47 men and 29 women (average age 46.7 years); the control group, who only received CT, included 21 men and 23 women (average age 46.3 ± 2 years).Results. The treatment group demonstrated a faster normalization of laboratory markers of inflammatory activity. After 14 days of follow-up, the CRP levels in the treatment group decreased significantly by 18.9 (67%) (p < 0.05), and in the control group by 14.3 (46.9%) (p < 0.05). The IL-6 level significantly decreased in patients of the control group, but did not change in the levilimab group. The changes in fibrinogen levels showed that the group of patients, who received levilimab, had a significant decrease in fibrinogen by 35% from baseline (p < 0.05), in contrast to the control group, in which fibrinogen levels virtually did not change (3.8% decrease) (p < 0.05).Conclusion.

In this regard, mucoactive drugs are most commonly used for the treatment. Hypertonic saline plus high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid is one of the affordable and effective agents that can help with thinning and removal of bronchial secretions. The effect of 3%, 6%, 7% hypertonic saline on the respiratory system is multifaceted: it stimulates the osmotic fluid flow, breaks bonds linking polymers in the sputum, reduces swelling in the mucous membranes, stimulates ciliary beat frequency, and reduces the neutrophilic inflammation severity. The molecular size of HA plays an important role in the effectiveness of inhalation therapy with hypertonic saline combined with hyaluronic acid (HA). External administration of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid inhibits neutrophil elastase and metalloproteinase, potentiates hydration of bronchial secretions and has anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to clinical studies, real-life clinical practice in patients with cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and acute bronchitis also demonstrated the effectiveness of hypertonic saline combined with high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. The rationale for the use of hypertonic saline was reflected in the international GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) guidelines in 2023. Therefore, due to high interest in the hypertonic saline combined with high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, it is important to expand the evidence base: to initiate a Russian multicenter study evaluating the effectiveness and safety of this combination in patients with chronic bronchitis and COPD in the Russian Federation. It will allow us to recommend hypertonic saline combined with high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid to be included in the Russian clinical guidelines on treatment of chronic bronchitis and COPD as a mucoactive drug.","PeriodicalId":18391,"journal":{"name":"Meditsinskiy sovet = Medical Council","volume":"21 S37","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141377938","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}

Successful treatment of patients with CAP is mainly determined by the correct choice of the place of treatment (outpatient or inpatient) and the correct initial empirical therapy, considering the predictable spectrum of potential pathogens of CAP. The article provides up-to-date data on the etiological structure of non-severe CAP. Most patients with CAP receive outpatient medical care, which is determined by their clinical status and a limited number of laboratory data for minimizing the risk of adverse outcomes in CAP. The absence of a microbiological diagnosis in a mild course of CAP does not lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of empirical antibacterial therapy in outpatient settings. The article highlights current clinical recommendations on the choice of empirical antibiotic therapy for CAP in outpatients. Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin, which, including in combination with the beta-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid, is the most affordable and widely used penicillin in various countries. According to clinical recommendations, amoxicillin, including in combination with a β-lactamase inhibitor, is the drug of choice for the initial empirical therapy of most outpatients with CAP. The oral route is the most common and preferred for antibiotic delivery in mild CAP. Dispersible forms of tablets have certain advantages, including easier intake in patients with difficulty swallowing, such as the elderly, stroke patients, and children. The assessment of biological equivalence showed similar pharmacokinetic parameters of Amoxicillin and Amoxicillin in combination with clavulanic acid in the form of dispersible tablets and in the original form of film-coated tablets.","PeriodicalId":18391,"journal":{"name":"Meditsinskiy sovet = Medical Council","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141385076","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}
