Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
[The structure of post/long COVID fatigue syndrome. Prospects for correction].
To study the features of post-COVID asthenic syndrome and evaluate the effectiveness of the drug containing the succinic acid complex with trimethylhydrazinium in its treatment. ⋯ Our study convincingly showed the effectiveness of therapy with BRAINMAX® in a wide range of symptoms in patients with the post-COVID syndrome.

Rheumatoid factor became the first laboratory marker of rheumatoid arthritis and one of the first serological markers used to recognize the major autoimmune diseases. Details of the discovery with special regard to contribution of E. ⋯ Rose are presented in this historical review. Same assays used to exam the rheumatoid factor, its frequency and modern view on diagnostic significance in different diseases are described in this article.

The clinical and serologic heterogeneity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presents challenges for diagnosis, particularly in the earliest stages of the disease when there are insufficient signs to make a reliable diagnosis. ⋯ The classification criteria SLICC-2012 and EULAR/ACR 2019 are more sensitive for the diagnosis of SLE in the Russian population, and the criteria ACR-1997 are more specific. All three variants of the SLE classification criteria have sufficient sensitivity and specificity for their use in real clinical practice.

Obesity is a major public health problem that requires new approaches. Despite all interventions, the behavioural and therapeutic interventions developed have demonstrated limited effectiveness in curbing the obesity epidemic. Findings from imaging studies of the brain suggest the existence of neural vulnerabilities and structural changes that are associated with the development of obesity and eating disorders. This review highlights the clinical relevance of brain neuroimaging research in obese individuals to prevent risky behaviour, early diagnosis, and the development of new safer and more effective treatments.

To assess physical activity (PA) and nutritional status and their relationship with the sarcopenic phenotype of body composition in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ⋯ 52% of women with RA had moderate оr low PA levels, and 50% of patients were at risk of malnutrition. The risk of sarcopenic phenotype associated with a low frequency of vigorous PA, low walking time, risk of malnutrition, body mass index <25 kg/m2 and insufficient calcium intake.
