A significant role in the staying healthy, strengthening immunity and normalizing metabolism is assigned to microbes. Among the drugs that are used to treat serious infectious diseases, antibiotics dominate as the drugs that keep on saving precious human lives. The side effects of antibiotic therapy on the intestinal microflora range from self-leveling and fast-passing “functional” diarrhea to life-threatening pseudomembranous colitis. Recently conducted epidemiological studies have shown that antibiotics are associated with a high risk of weight gain and the development of obesity. Violation of the intestinal microflora is caused not only by antibiotic therapy, but also by the intake of a number of products. Antibacterial drugs are widely used in agriculture as growth promoters, they are stored in the meat of animals and poultry that we eat. Obesity has been proven to be associated with a dysbiotic shift in the fecal microbiota and a low content of bifidobacteria. The hypothesis according to which the intestinal microbiota is a potentially variable target for the prevention and/or treatment of obesity is described in detail. Probiotics are agents capable of modulating and improving the intestinal microflora during antibiotic therapy. The review presents data demonstrating the ability of probiotics not only to prevent the development of dysbiosis that occurs when using antibiotics, but also to impede the emergence of overweight and obesity.","PeriodicalId":378182,"journal":{"name":"Herald of Pancreatic Club","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121756160","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}

Existing treatment options for chronic pain in cancer patients are diverse and include the various ways of impact on the different links of pathological pain: medicinal, endoscopic, surgical. With this pathology, drug therapy using analgesics, weak and strong opioids, is usually not effective enough. In such cases, preference is given to chemical neurolysis — denervation of the autonomic structures of the retroperitoneal space, carried out under the guidance of ultrasound or computed tomography. Conducting percutaneous neurolysis of the celiac plexus with the use of alcohol or phenol is prescribed upon insufficient effectiveness of pharmacotherapy. Surgical methods of anesthesia are used extremely rarely, as they considerably worsen the patient’s condition, without significantly affecting the quality of life or the prognosis. Thoracoscopic splanchnicectomy is considered a modern and effective method of endoscopic treatment of pain in unresectable pancreatic cancer, the conduction of which can significantly decrease the intensity of pain, reduce the number of narcotic analgesics and improve the quality of life of cancer patients. This minimally invasive intervention is the basis for the subsequent lifelong systemic drug therapy.","PeriodicalId":378182,"journal":{"name":"Herald of Pancreatic Club","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123239715","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}

Much attention is paid to infectious agents (viruses of epidemic parotiditis, hepatitis B and C, enteroviruses, adenoviruses, mycoplasmas, salmonellae) in the formation of the inflammatory process in the pancreatic tissue. The features of the pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis associated with viral infection B and C are considered; it has been shown that the lesion of the pancreas is caused by the replication of viruses directly in the cells of this organ, immunopathological changes in the liver, and concomitant immunological disorders. The probability of developing diabetes mellitus, as one of the clinical manifestations of viral replication in pancreatic endocrine cells, is underlined. The clinical manifestations of exocrine and endocrine insufficiency of the pancreas during infection with various viruses, including Coxsackie B and enteroviruses, are described in detail; the features of the course of diabetes caused by infection of these pathogens are listed. The peculiarities of chronic pancreatitis in HIV-infected and AIDS patients, in patients with parasitic pathology (opisthorchiasis, clonorchosis, ascariasis, giardiasis) are considered; the role of helicobacteria in the development of a chronic inflammatory process in pancreatic tissue is characterized.
