Anichkov","doi":"10.17650/1818-8338-2020-14-1-2-91-99","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17650/1818-8338-2020-14-1-2-91-99","url":null,"abstract":"Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly used pain relievers. However, their use often threatens with serious undesirable effects, associated mainly with damage to cardiovascular system (CVS), gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and liver. Contraindications to NSAIDs prescription are clearly regulated, algorithms for their personalized appointment are determined taking into account risk factors for cardiovascular and gastrointestinal adverse events. The severity of NSAIDs side effects is mainly due to the selectivity to cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), as well as the physicochemical properties of various drugs. Cardiovascular adverse events differ among various NSAIDs both within commonly used drugs and among COX-2 inhibitors. It is well known that NSAIDs selective for COX-2 are safer in terms of the effect on the gastrointestinal tract than non-selective drugs. A meta-analysis showed that relatively selective COX-2 inhibitors (meloxicam, etodolac) were associated with a comparable risk of developing symptomatic ulcers and ulcers identified by endoscopy, and safety and tolerability profiles of the drugs were similar.All NSAIDs are associated with cardiovascular toxicity, however, different drugs have significant risk differences. The mechanism of NSAIDs cardiovascular adverse effects is associated with an increase of blood pressure, sodium retention, vasoconstriction, platelet activation, and prothrombotic state. It has been shown that the risk of cardiovascular adverse events when taking COX-2 inhibitors (celecoxib, etoricoxib) significantly increases. According to a study of more than 8 million people, it was found that the risk of myocardial infarction was increased in patients taking ketorolac. Further, highest to lowest risk authors list indomethacin, etoricoxib, rofecoxib (not currently used), diclofenac, a fixed combination of diclofenac with misoprostol, piroxicam, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib, meloxicam, nimesulide and ketoprofen. When taking NSAIDs, the risk of heart failure decompensation increases, and it turned out to be the greatest for ketorolac, etoricoxib, and indomethacin. Meloxicam, aceclofenac, ketoprofen almost did not increase heart failure risk. It should be noted that when using the drugs (except for indomethacin and meloxicam), there is a tendency to increase the total cardiovascular and renal risks with increasing doses. Thus, it is obvious that a very careful approach is required when choosing NSAIDs. If there is an increased risk of gastrointestinal complications associated with NSAIDs, selective NSAIDs are preferred, with both coxibs and traditional selective NSAIDs showing the best safety profile in the studies. To minimize cardiovascular side effects specialists should consider the risk level of cardiovascular complications, as well as results of large clinical studies where particular NSAIDs are compared.","PeriodicalId":82998,"journal":{"name":"The Clinician","volume":"32 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141206176","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}

Eliminated course, nonspecific clinical symptoms, and late patients seeking surgical help, lead to high mortality, reaching 50 % over the next 5 years. Despite the frequent occurrence, our knowledge of this type of aortic defect remains incomplete. About 300 years ago A. Bonnet first described defect as a random isolated pathological finding in the corpse of a Parisian tailor. Later, R. Virchow designated ectopic calcification / ossification as the main cause of the development of the disease and put forward the theory of hematogenous drift. In 1904, J. G. Monckeberg considered calcific aortic stenosis a manifestation of “senile degeneration” of valves and blood vessels. W. S. Roberts retrospectively correlated the classic triad of symptoms with the time of death of patients with aortic stenosis. The progress of cardiac surgery in the middle of the 20 th century made it possible to describe in detail ectopic calcification as an active, progressive, recurrent and potentially modifiable process. In the works of the staff of the Nesterov’s department of facultative therapy demonstrated a high incidence of the disease in the population of the Russia. The main reason for the development of symptoms is a progressive obstruction of the exit tract of the left ventricle of the heart, its uneven hypertrophy, rhythm and conduction disturbances in combination with concomitant arterial hypertension and other comorbidities. A change in the nature of systolic murmur, underestimation of symptoms by doctors and patients themselves, the ambiguity of echocardiography data lead to late diagnosis of the disease and untimely surgical treatment. Disturbances of calcium and bone metabolism significantly reduce the functional status of patients, including due to an adverse effect on cardiac hemodynamics. Modern molecular genetic studies are aimed at finding possible ways to control a systemic inflammatory reaction, suppress lipid peroxidation, inhibit calcification and modify the osteogenic potential of interstitial cells of heart valves.","PeriodicalId":82998,"journal":{"name":"The Clinician","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48090669","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}

Cancer can be diagnosed immediately prior to SS symptoms, at the stage of diagnosis and years after SS diagnosis. The first two cases may indicate scleroderma-like paraneoplastic syndrome. In this case, the main mechanism of paraneoplastic syndrome development is associated with immune system activation by antigens, expressed by tumor cells, which leads to the development of antibodies that cross-react with body tissues, causing damage and secondary regeneration. Thus, cancer induces autoimmunity – mutation-specific T-cell immune response, and pathogenetic mechanisms can be the same for fibrogenesis and oncogenesis.SS clinical and laboratory characteristics that indicate paraneoplastic etiology include minimum time difference between diagnosing scleroderma and cancer, as well as oncopathology in a patient’s or family cancer history, late disease onset (after 50 years), SS symptoms in a man, sudden onset and rapid progression of clinical symptoms, expressed or atypical SS symptoms (malaise, fever, significant weight loss), asymmetric or absent Raynaud syndrome, antibodies against RNA polymerase III, absence of anticentromeric antibodies and anti-Scl70, deviations in laboratory tests indicating possible oncopathology (anemia, hypercalcemia, hypergammaglobulinemia), no response to SS treatment, disappearance of SS symptoms after anticancer treatment and their appearance when cancer reactivation. On the other hand, patients with scleroderma have an increased risk of all types of cancer, with men at higher risk than women. Continuous autoimmune stimulation, B-cell activation, chronic inflammatory process and fibrosis in SS patients can lead to malignant transformation in certain organ systems, especially in lungs.The most important risk factor for lung cancer in SS patients is interstitial lung disease, requiring special attention from a physician. In addition to lung cancer, SS patients more likely than the general population suffer from malignant hematologic diseases, esophageal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and bladder cancer. Scleroderma-like skin changes are also possible when cytotoxic drugs are used to treat cancer (docetaxel, paclitaxel, bleomycin, etc.), as well as during radiation therapy.","PeriodicalId":82998,"journal":{"name":"The Clinician","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67773299","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}

We studied 20 patients with STEACS, who developed СIN after PCI (follow-up group), and 98 patients with STEACS without СIN (comparison group). All patients were measured plasma creatinine level and glomerular filtration rate by the formula CKD-EPI before and 48 hours after PCI. CIN was detected with an increase in creatinine levels in the blood by more than 26.5 µmol / l from the baseline 48 hours after administration of radiopaque drug (RCP). Endpoints were evaluated at the hospital stage and within 12 months after PCI.Results. CIN after PCI occurred in 16.9 % of patients with STEACS. Among patients with СIN, persons aged over 75 years (60 %), with diabetes mellitus (45 %), chronic kidney disease (75 %), postinfarction cardiosclerosis (50 %), chronic heart failure of functional class III–IV (80 %), developed acute heart failure T. Killip III–IV (90 %) were significantly more often observed. The left ventricular ejection fraction was lower in patients with СIN (p <0.05). The average increase in plasma creatinine 48 hours after PCI was higher in the follow-up group (p <0.05). In patients with СIN more often, than without СIN, three-vascular lesions of the coronary bed were detected (65 and 25.5 % respectively, p <0.001). The same trend was observed, when assessing the average number of coronary artery stenoses, the number of implanted stents and the volume of RCP used. Patients with СIN, than without СIN, were longer in hospital (12.1 ± 0.96 and 10.2 ± 1.11 days respectively, p <0.05) and more often needed re-hospitalization within 12 months after PCI (34 and 4.1 % respectively, p <0.05).Summary. CIN in patients with STEACS after primary PCI was more likely to develop, if the following symptoms were present: age over 75 years, diabetes mellitus, chronic heart failure, post-infarction cardiosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, low ejection fraction of the left ventricle, initially high creatinine level, development of acute heart failure, trisovascular coronary lesion and multiple coronary stenting. The duration of hospital stay and the frequency of re-hospitalizations within a year after PCI significantly increased in patients in the CIN group.","PeriodicalId":82998,"journal":{"name":"The Clinician","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67771664","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}

Patient O., 64 years old, was examined at the National Medical Research Center for Preventive Medicine within the program “Comprehensive assessment of total risks and early preclinical markers of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis complications”. No complaints during the examination were revealed. Laboratory tests were performed to evaluate blood lipids level, calcium-phosphorus metabolism, determine marker of bone resorption – CTX (β-crosslaps), measure levels of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone. Instrumental examinations included dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry of the spine and femoral neck, carotid ultrasound, applanation tonometry, multispiral computed tomography of coronary arteries with calcium score determination.Results. During outpatient examination, densitometry revealed decreased bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and in the femoral neck, corresponding to osteoporosis, carotid ultrasound identified atherosclerotic plaques, multispiral computed tomography of coronary arteries – coronary calcification, applanation tonometry – increased aortic stiffness.Conclusion. The clinical case is an example of early-detected preclinical signs of atherosclerosis and osteoporosis, as well as an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Due to the high frequency of subclinical atherosclerosis, vessel wall state should be examined in women at the beginning of postmenopause. Signs of vascular stiffness and subclinical atherosclerosis give occasion to assess risk of fractures using the FRAX ® calculator and, if necessary, to diagnose bone mass loss using X-ray densitometry. Proposed algorithm can contribute to the early detection of cardiovascular diseases and at the same time improve fracture risk assessment.","PeriodicalId":82998,"journal":{"name":"The Clinician","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67772251","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}
