A retrospective independent continuous blind study of ultrasound examination protocols was conducted in 665 patients, 241 patients had benign non-cancerous thyroid diseases, 86 patients had benign tumors (adenomas), 338 patients had thyroid cancer. During the preoperative examination, all patients underwent a multiparametric ultrasound examination of the neck organs according to the standard procedure, with the registration of identified thyroid nodes, with examining the prognostic capabilities of stratification systems – TIRADS, EU-TIRADS, TLA_RU. It was found that the TIRADS system has a sensitivity of 91.04%, specificity – 91.41%. Focusing on the scale of AUC values reflecting the quality of the diagnostic test, it can be stated that TIRADS is a test with excellent quality (AUC =0.972). Basing on the results of the analyzing the data obtained by the EU-TIRADS system, it was revealed that it is a high-quality test (AUC=0.826), but its predictive capabilities are worse than those of TIRADS. The original TLA_RU model has 87.5% sensitivity and 95.7% specificity. During the ROC analysis, it was found that the AUC is equal to 0.954±0.00894, which suggests that the TLA_RU model is an excellent quality test in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodular masses. Multivariate statistical comparative analysis of thyroid imaging assessment systems (TIRADS, EU-TIRADS and TLA_RU) from the standpoint of evidence-based medicine has shown that thyroid cancer risk stratification systems based on the assessment of multiparametric ultrasound signs have great diagnostic capabilities.","PeriodicalId":249759,"journal":{"name":"Acta medica Eurasica","volume":"26 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133978998","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 article discusses the possibilities of using biomarkers developed in recent years thanks to the so-called \"omics\" technologies in clinical practice. Biomarkers used for the diagnosis and treatment of bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, hypersensitivity to drugs, as well as for evaluating the effectiveness of allergen – specific immunotherapy are considered. The introduction of biomarkers into clinical practice has made it possible to carry out endotyping of some allergic diseases, which opens up prospects for new approaches to classification of these diseases, development of individual treatment targets and indications for administering personalized therapy. Endotyping of diseases is expected to be transferred to the category of diagnostic tests. However, it is necessary to overcome a number of problems before the treatment based on endotype determination will be introduced into everyday practice in allergic diseases and bronchial asthma. Currently, most of the research on the endotyping of diseases is carried out in severe forms of allergic diseases. It is beyond argument that the best ways to treat allergic diseases will be found in the near future, with a therapeutic approach focused on a specific patient, taking into account the patient's wishes, the presence of contraindications, the psychological characteristics of the patient, his expected adherence to therapy and possible side effects.","PeriodicalId":249759,"journal":{"name":"Acta medica Eurasica","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125843752","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}

In a patient with stage 3 traumatic shock, the coagulogram parameters were within the normal range, but according to thromboelastography (EXTEM and FIBTEM tests), hypocoagulation due to the platelet link was noted. Only the coagulogram was evaluated in dynamics, hypocoagulation was noted in the indicators of internal and external hemostasis pathways: lengthening of the activated partial thromboplastin time, a decrease in the prothrombin index and an increase in the international normalized ratio, an increase in fibrinogen A and soluble fibrin-monomer complexes. In the group of male patients with closed craniocerebral trauma, an increase in soluble fibrin-monomer complexes in the coagulogram was always combined with changes in the FIBTEM test during thromboelastography. In most patients, no changes in the classical coagulogram tests immediately after the injury are noted.

The formation of a uterine scar after any intervention entails the likelihood of long-term complications, such as a rupture of the uterus along the scar and pregnancy in the uterine scar. According to the latest clinical recommendations for ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy in the uterine scar has been added to the anatomical classification of ectopic pregnancies. The article describes a clinical case of an undeveloped pregnancy in the uterine scar after a cesarean section, it shows the difficulty of timely diagnosis of such pregnancy, which often results in improper management of patients and loss of fertility by women of childbearing age.

Vaccination against COVID-19 with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca) in a number of patients turned out to cause thrombocytopenia and thrombi formation in atypical (cerebral venous sinus, portal, abdominal, and hepatic veins) and typical (deep femoral and sural veins, pulmonary artery thromboembolia, acute arterial thrombosis) places. And the use of mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) was sometimes accompanied by thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage, but without thrombi formation. This circumstance gave rise to the search for mechanisms of thrombi formation when using previously never-used vaccines developed against COVID-19. The purpose of the paper is to inform the medical community about the mechanisms of thrombi formation in COVID-19; to discuss possible pathogenetic ways of rapid amyloid formation and amyloidogenic stimulation of the coagulation hemostasis system. The only study completed to date provides information on the launch of rapid amyloid formation with the formation of dense large fibrin clots in the whole blood of both healthy people and those who were in the acute period of COVID‑19 disease by the spike protein of the COVID-19 virus capsid. The authors, having discovered the fact of the direct influence of spike protein on the formation of blood clots, nevertheless did not investigate possible pathogenetic ways of triggering thrombi formation by the spike protein. Since the authors directly pointed out the role of rapid amyloid formation in triggering coagulation, the mechanism of which is unknown to practitioners, it makes sense to discuss the issues of rapid amyloid formation in the vascular bed and the role of amyloid as a factor in triggering coagulation hemostasis. The publication under discussion is confirmed by previous studies of other authors on the influence of b‑amyloid and AA‑amyloid on the formation of blood clots in Alzheimer's disease and systemic amyloidosis. Based on the literature sources studied, we suggested that some of the patients who recovered from COVID-19 in its severe form may subsequently develop systemic amyloidosis.","PeriodicalId":249759,"journal":{"name":"Acta medica Eurasica","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130627643","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}

Initially, a clinical, instrumental and laboratory examination, registration of blood pressure and its 24-hour monitoring were carried out. The average daily systolic (ADBPsyst.) and average daily diastolic (ADBPdiast.) blood pressure were determined. A multicomponent rational antihypertensive pharmacotherapy, according to the clinical recommendations for the treatment of arterial hypertension was selected for all the patients. In at least 3 months after the selection of pharmacotherapy, the patients were divided into two groups, comparable in gender, age, severity of the condition, features of the disease course and medicamentous therapy. Patients of the 1st group (active treatment group) against the background of pharmacotherapy were prescribed unloading therapeutic exercises according to a patented technique. The 2nd group of patients continued to take pharmacotherapy and it was used as a baseline group. The average age in the 1st and 2nd groups was 46,3±6,8 and 43,6±7,2 years, respectively. Patients of the 1st group were prescribed unloading therapeutic exercises and in 3 months in both groups the ADBPsyst. and ADBPdiast. were compared. Initially, there was a significant increase in ADBPsyst. and ADBPdiast. compared to the normal range in both groups. These indicators in both groups differed insignificantly. In 3 months after pharmacotherapy, there was a significant decrease in ADsyst. and ADdiast. in both groups, but these indicators remained elevated and did not reach the target level. Then, in the 1st group, unloading therapeutic exercises were included in the comprehensive treatment. Patients of the 2nd group continued to receive pharmacotherapy. In 3 months after including unloading therapeutic exercises in the 1st group, there was a significant decrease in ADBP (syst. and diast.) not only in comparison with the initial data, but also with the data in 3 months after pharmacotherapy.

A special group of the population that requires increased attention is pregnant women due to the fact that pneumonia occupies the third place in the structure of indirect causes of maternal mortality. Pregnant women whose immune system has changed appeared to be at an increased risk of infection. Pregnancy is a risk factor for the development of a more severe course of acute respiratory viral diseases and influenza. To date, the issue of intrauterine transmission of coronavirus disease remains completely unexplored, which causes fear among pregnant women for the future generation. Addition of a new coronavirus infection SARS-CoV-2 has a negative impact on pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, the health of newborns, especially in patients with a burdened obstetric history. Pregnancy itself and childbirth do not affect the course of COVID-19, but the infection addition can complicate the course of gestation, causing respiratory distress syndrome, premature birth and spontaneous miscarriages, congenital pneumonia and antenatal death of newborns born from covid-positive mothers. The literature published from December 1, 2019 to July 30, 2021 was searched in several databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar and the WHO COVID-19 database, of which 52 articles were selected for detailed consideration.
