The authors of the article prove the need to include a new name for the disease - "Progressive Fibrosing Lung Disease" into clinical practice. Recognition of the fact that some lung diseases end in a fibrosing process, which does not have any significant differences depending on the initial disease that led to fibrosis, will expand the indications for earlier prescription of antifibrotic drugs, which will undoubtedly improve the prognosis in this extremely severe category of patients.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination drug containing ambroxol, guaifenesin, and levosalbutamol, oral solution, versus Ascoril Expectorant, syrup (combination of bromhexine, guaifenesin, and salbutamol) in the treatment of productive cough in adult patients with acute bronchitis. ⋯ The efficacy of a new combination drug containing ambroxol, guaifenesin, and levosalbutamol in the treatment of productive cough in adult patients with acute bronchitis is superior to the efficacy of Ascoril Expectorant. The safety profiles of the study drug and the reference drug were comparable.

A review of publications devoted to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms of the gene encoding the glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptor and some other genes directly and indirectly involved in the implementation of its physiological action is presented. The aim of the study: to search for information on genes polymorphism that can affect the effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide type 1 agonists. The review was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 recommendations, the search for publications was based on PubMed databases (including Medline), Web of Science, as well as Russian scientific electronic source eLIBRARY. ⋯ The several genes polymorphisms (GLP1R, TCF7L2, CNR1, SORCS1, WFS1, PPARD, CTRB1/2) that may affect the course and therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and obesity, was described. Single nucleotide substitutions in some regions of these genes can both decrease and increase the clinical efficacy of the treatment of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome with the help of type 1 glucagon-like peptide agonists: exenatide, liraglutide. Data on the role of genetic variations in the structure of the products of these genes in the effectiveness of other type 1 glucacone-like peptide agonists have not been found.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus and an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite guideline-directed therapy of CKD in patients with type 2 diabetes, the risk of renal failure and cardiovascular events still remains high. To date, current medications for CKD haven't reduced enough the residual risk associated with inflammation and fibrosis in patients with type 2 diabetes. ⋯ The probable mechanisms of early and delayed action of finerenone, which were realized in beneficial cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes with CKD, are presented here. Practical points for finerenone initiation and titration are indicated, aimed to minimize the hyperkalemia risk. Current guidelines for CKD treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes are analyzed, the finerenone placement in combined nephroprotective therapy is determined.

To study demographic, clinical, serological and morphological features of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF), compare survival in IPAF and interstitial lung disease in connective tissue diseases (CTD-ILD), and identify predictors of mortality and transformation to CTD in the IPAF group. ⋯ IPAF is characterized by a lower survival rate compared to CTD-ILD, and a relatively low risk of CTD transformation.
