Study of the remodeling of the carotid arteries with violation of intracardiac hemodynamics in patients with MFA, and the estimation of the main parameters of dyslipidemia, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in patients with high vascular risk older age group (6175 years) in a Regional vascular center of Ufa. ⋯ The construction of a three-cluster model in patients at high vascular risk of the elderly age category showed the interaction of cardio-carotid comorbid background on the clinical diversity of systemic vascular lesions in MFA with the development of remodeling of the main arteries and disorders of intracardiac hemodynamics associated with laboratory changes in the assessment of the main parameters of dyslipidemia, apoptosis markers, oxidative stress.

[Adrenal incidentaloma. Part 1. Computed tomography of adrenal incidentaloma: the possibilities and difficulties of differential diagnosis].
The adrenal incidentaloma is a lesion of a different etiology and found incidentally in patients who underwent a diagnostic study not about the disease of this organ. Lesions can be both hormonally inactive and hormonally active, can arise from different zones of the adrenal gland or have non-specific organ affiliation, can be benign or malignant. Computed tomography characterization of these lesions, especially the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant, is extremely important for the correct diagnosis in order to provide adequate management of the patient. The article presents the key computed tomography criteria that allow radiologist to characterize the lesion most accurately and consider appropriate diagnosis.

Most subjects with the COVID-19 experience mild to moderate symptoms, but approximately 10% of cases suffer from severe course of disease. IL-6 inhibitors are actively used to neutralize and prevent the cytokine storm. Olokizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody belonging to the G4/Kappa immunoglobulin isotype that selectively binds to human IL-6 and effectively neutralizes it. ⋯ The use of olokizumab to treat the new COVID-19 coronavirus disease has demonstrated a positive effect on clinical and laboratory parameters. Primarily, it affects the severity of clinical parameters by improving the general condition already on the first day of observation, and decreasing body temperature to normal values. The changes in the C-reactive protein levels show a significant effect of the IL-6 inhibitor on the systemic inflammatory response.

[Resected bowel syndrome: clinical course and treatment options].
The current concepts of the short bowel syndrome and malabsorption after intestinal surgery are generally accepted, but do not fully reflect the patients condition, making it difficult to diagnose and treat it. ⋯ The proposed concept the resected bowel syndrome makes it possible to improve its diagnosis, take into account the variants of its progression and allow for a differentiated treatment.

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction a rare violation of the motor skills of the gastrointestinal complex, similar to mechanical obstruction, but without a mechanical obstacle. The development of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is caused by a disturbance on the part of the smooth muscles and the nervous system of the gastrointestinal system. Common symptoms include constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating. ⋯ Treatment is aimed at providing adequate nutrition, the use of drugs that activate motor skills, suppress the growth of microbes in the small intestine, the implementation of intestinal decompression. Surgical treatment: resection of the affected segment of the gut. In the refractory course of the disease intestinal transplantation.
