The assessment of immunological characteristics opens up new opportunities in assessing the disease development, predicting the characteristics of the course, and establishing a personalized approach to pharmacotherapy of occupational asthma, as well as in developing an individual strategy for its prevention. The purpose of the study is to determine immunological markers of the risk of developing occupational bronchial asthma under conditions of exposure to sensitizing substances for various phenotypes of this disease. Materials and methods. The study included 170 patients with various phenotypes of occupational asthma and 50 participants in the control group. The levels of immunoglobulins A, M, and G in serum were determined by the Mancini technique (radial immunodiffusion). The determination of the levels of cytokines IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17, TNF-α, MCP- 1, and IFN-γ, total IgE, C-reactive protein, and fibronectin in blood serum was carried out by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using kits and reagents (OOO Proteinovy Kontur, Vektor-Best, Diateks-E, DIA-plus, Pharmacia diagnostika). To study the content of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in blood serum, we used a sandwich-type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with a set of reagents from eBioscience. Genotyping was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction using primers and probes developed with the PrimerQuest program (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.). Results. For the first time, the study has established the features of immunological manifestations in allergic and non-allergic phenotypes of occupational bronchial asthma, as well as the phenotypes of the combination of occupational asthma with occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and metabolic syndrome. The features of the formation, pathogenesis, and prognosis of various phenotypes of occupational bronchial asthma have been identified. This allows recommending the determination of these immunological parameters during in-depth periodic medical examinations of workers exposed to sensitizing and irritating substances for differential diagnosis of various occupational asthma phenotypes in a specialized inpatient examination. Limitations of the study. The study has regional (Samara Region) and professional (in terms of detailing working conditions in the studied comparison groups) limitations. Conclusion. The identified immunological features in various phenotypes of occupational bronchial asthma and the established profiles of occupational asthma genotypes can optimize the approach to early diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, and pharmacotherapy of this disease, as well as expand the list of immunological research indicators used during preliminary and periodic medical examinations, in-depth examination of patients with occupational asthma in occupational disease clinics and occupatio","PeriodicalId":337181,"journal":{"name":"Terapevt (General Physician)","volume":"34 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140452902","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}

Clearly, participation in a trial of any drug carries certain health risks, which makes it difficult to recruit volunteers. Development companies use various methods to stimulate potential participants, including regular monitoring of health status, creation of comfortable living conditions, free treatment, financial compensation for risks, etc. Particularly relevant for manufacturing companies is the recruitment of volunteers in case of conducting a bioequivalence phase study, when an already known drug, planned for release under a different brand (name), is being tested. The article presents the results of interviews with volunteers in order to study their motivation to participate in clinical trials of the bioequivalence phase, their experience of such participation, as well as opinions regarding the organization of clinical trials in the Russian Federation. The results of the study demonstrate a high level of interest among the volunteers to regularly participate in bioequivalence studies due to their relative safety for health, as well as financial interest and comfortable organization of the trial process.

An analysis of the possible causes of the low detection rate and five-year survival of patients in crisis countries is made. The ways of possible cooperation with the Russian Federation on the way to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals are outlined. According to the United Nations, the African continent includes 54 indepen dent states. Most of them were colonized and had external control of major European countries — Great Britain, France, Germany, and others. In the middle of the 20th century, the process of gaining the independence by African countries began. Nevertheless, to date, the influence of European countries on many spheres of life on the African continent con tinues to persist. African countries have a large gap in socio-economic indicators and are very heterogeneous. Among them, progressive countries can be distinguished — those with experience in effective strategies for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Such countries include the Republic of Seychelles, Equatorial Guinea, the Repub lic of South Africa, and others. The Russian Federation has strong partnership relations with the Republic of South Africa within the framework of the interstate united group BRICS. Along with the progressive countries, it is necessary to identify crisis countries that have not yet developed experience in effectively achieving the SDGs. Crisis states have many socio-economic issues, low per capita incomes, and big problems in the orga nization of education and health care. These countries include the Republic of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, and others. The interaction of countries can be aimed at training personnel for the healthcare system of African countries, developing standards for the early detection of oncolog ical diseases of the most typical localizations for African countries, and working out treatment protocols. The possibilities of interaction of the Department of Pathological Anatomy, Omsk State Medical University, and crisis countries of the African continent on the introduction of innovative developments are analyzed. These programs require political, economic, scientific, technological, and socio-cultural cooperation between Russia and African countries.","PeriodicalId":337181,"journal":{"name":"Terapevt (General Physician)","volume":"35 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140452839","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}

It is important to be able to prevent the development of burnout and overcome it correctly. Rationale. This problem is generally recognized. Meanwhile, in the literature these issues are reflected somewhat scat teredly; there is no systematization. Purpose. Considering the sources by Russian and foreign authors aimed at studying the relationship between doctors’ burnout and the coping strategies that they use. Methods. A literature search of Russian and foreign authors was carried out; the obtained data were analyzed and summarized. Results. In the course of working with a patient, the doctor is involved in this process not only as a specialist demonstrating his/her professional skills and curing this or that pathological condition, but also becomes involved emotionally. Moreover, if, when working with a patient, the doctor is emotionally invested in the situation more than the patient himself/herself and chooses an interpretative or paternalistic model of relationship, this will contribute to the development of burnout and, over time, in the absence of preventive measures, lead to the burnout progression. In this regard, a doctor of any specialty must remember it and select these models of interaction with the patient as a last resort and for a short time, or use these models at the very beginning of the disease, when the patient cannot yet accept his/her new condition. A major role in resolving this issue is played by informing specialists about the early signs of burnout and risk factors, getting emotional support from colleagues and management, and taking training sessions aimed at acquiring skills to cope with stressful situations. Conclusion. Despite the fact that burnout has been known and actively studied for many years, and that there has been some success in solving this issue, the problem is still relevant in modern society among specialists whose work activities are carried out in the person-to-person sphere, primarily among doctors. The use of coping strategies will improve the level of psychological health of the employee and the effectiveness of the provided assistance and reduce the prevalence of iatrogenics.","PeriodicalId":337181,"journal":{"name":"Terapevt (General Physician)","volume":"115 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139614073","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}
