Coronary stenting is the evidence-based treatment approach of stable angina. The objective was to determine the incidence of restenosis or atherosclerosis progression which led to the need for coronary angiography according to a single center registry data. ⋯ The progression of coronary atherosclerosis was the leading indication for the repeat angiography and repeat revascularization during 2 years after coronary stenting. The hsCRP level 2 mg/l at baseline had a prognostic significance for the development of restenosis in previously stented segment and coronary atherosclerosis progression.

Inflammatory diseases of the pancreas can range from acute to acute recurrent and chronic pancreatitis. With the improvement of laboratory diagnostics in the 21st century, the mechanisms of the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory role of tight junctions, in particular the transmembrane proteins occludin, claudine and JAMs, cytoplasmic Zo-proteins, and adherens junctions, in particular -catenin, -catenin, E-cadherin, selectins and ICAMs in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic pancreatitis have become more clear. The study of genetic factors in the development of acute and chronic pancreatitis showed the role of mutations in the genes SPINK1 N34S, PRSS1, CEL-HYB in the progression of the disease.

Aim to determine the efficacy of drug aminodihydrophthalazinedione sodium (Galavit) for prevention of progression of the coronavirus infection pulmonary complications: acceleration of regression of pulmonary infiltrates and resolution of COVID-induced pneumonia. 22 patients with medium and severe COVID-induced pneumonia were included in the study. The study included 8 men and 14 women, the average age was 62.17.4 years. Patients with more than one adverse prognostic factor made 82%. ⋯ The progression of respiratory failure was halted and there was an increase in SpO2 values. According to the control computer tomography data the stabilization of the pulmonary parenchyma affection degree was noted, as well as reduction of the size of the compacted areas in the pulmonary tissue and formation of the picture of organising pneumonia that contributed to reduction of respiratory failure grade. The use of aminodihydrophthalazinedione sodium in complex therapy of COVID-induced pneumonia has a modulating effect on the immune system, prevents the progression of pulmonary tissue affection, promotes regression of infiltration foci, preventing the development of excessive pneumofibrosis and the progression of respiratory failure.

To study the clinical course, diagnosis of pertussis in pregnant women. ⋯ The course of whooping cough in pregnant women is characterized by a typical symptom complex. To improve the verification of the diagnosis, it is advisable to use modern laboratory tests (PCR, ELISA).

In a retrospective study, we evaluated factors associated with the early development of septic shock in patients with severe COVID-19. ⋯ The risk of septic shock in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by SARS-CoV-2 is higher in patients older than 50 years with concomitant diseases, although a severe course of the disease is also possible in younger patients without any concomitant disorders.
