The article presents data on the state of cytokine regulation, indicators of endothelial damage when exposed to industrial vibration (general, local) and in combination with arterial hypertension. ⋯ The study of the cytokine profile, biomarkers of damage to the vascular endothelium in this pathology will allow for the early diagnosis of vascular disorders and to optimize preventive measures for workers in vibration-hazardous industries.

The main aim of our study was to assess the role of risk factors in patients with previous contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) on a probability of a development of the new coronavirus infection. ⋯ COVID-patients with CI-AKI had more allergic reactions to iodine than non-COVID patients. The trend of more common arterial hypertension between COVID-patients was found in our research. There were not any statistical significant differences in other risk factors. There were statistically significant difference in the secondary endpoints such as repeated percutaneous coronary intervention and renal replacement therapy. Other endpoints didnt show a statistically significant difference.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by high mortality from cardiovascular diseases, the development of which is facilitated by traditional risk factors (typical for the general population) and by nontraditional ones (specific to patients with CKD) as well. These factors include also uremic toxins, for which a causal relationship has been established with specific pathological processes in patients with CKD, comprising the development of vascular dysfunction and accelerated progression of atherosclerosis. Urea has long been considered not as a uremic toxin, but as a marker of metabolic imbalance or dialysis efficiency (Kt/V) in CKD patients. ⋯ Carbamylation of proteins in CKD patients is associated with the development of renal fibrosis, atherosclerosis and anemia. Thus, urea is now regarded as an important negative agent in the pathogenesis of complications in CKD. Studies on a low-protein diet with using ketoanalogues of essential amino acids to minimize the accumulation of urea and other uremic toxins demonstrate the clinical benefit of such an intervention in slowing the progression of CKD and the development of cardiovascular complications.

Case Reports
[Difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of comorbid infections with rheumatoid arthritis. Case report].
The article presents the case of the diagnosis of sepsis as a variant of a comorbid infection in a patient with cross syndrome (systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis) on the background of the debut of coronary heart disease (acute myocardial infarction complicated by external rupture of the heart).
