Historical Article
[On the formation of Russian pulmonology: the development of the doctrine of lung diseases (first half of the 20th century)].
The articles on the history of Russian pulmonology presented in the historical, medical and therapeutic literature contain materials for this history, but their authors did not solve the problem of its consistent presentation, highlighting the stages of formation and founders. The authors of this study critically reviewed the literary and archival primary sources, for the first time proposed the identification of three stages in the development of Russian pulmonology and indicated eight of its founders at these stages. ⋯ This article is devoted to the 1st stage of the history of pulmonology - the formation of the doctrine of lung diseases. The second (development of pulmonology as an independent scientific direction in internal diseases) and the third (organizational design of pulmonology as a new independent clinical scientific and educational discipline and medical specialty, i.e. its institutionalization) stages will be discussed in the next articles.

The article discusses the issue and our own experience of local therapy for osteoarthritis of the ankle joint with injections of linear hyaluronic acid under ultrasound navigation. Since the ankle joint is difficult in terms of surgical treatment in general and endoprosthetics in particular, a course of intra-articular injection of 1% Flexotron® Forte hyaluronate, especially in the early stages of dystrophic changes in cartilage, is a promising method for relieving pain, chondroprotection and preserving the biomechanics of the joint, and ultrasound navigation when performing manipulation, it ensures the most accurate introduction of the drug into the joint cavity.

This article presents the experience of successfully switching therapy from omalizumab 150 mg to benralizumab 30 mg/1 ml in a patient with a combined allergic and eosinophilic phenotype in the presence of hypersensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The effectiveness of biological therapy was evaluated when switching from omalizumab 150 mg subcutaneously at a dose of 600 mg for 36 weeks. Therapy for the drug benralizumab 30 mg/1 ml subcutaneously the first three injections monthly, the rest a month later for 52 weeks with bronchial asthma (BA), a severe uncontrolled course with a combined allergic and eosinophilic phenotype in the presence of hypersensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in a patient Ch., born in 2004. ⋯ Reduction of exacerbations, normalization of respiratory function indicators, complete control of the disease has been achieved. Consequently, the use of different biological molecules for the therapy of BA with a combined allergic and eosinophilic phenotype contributes to achieving disease control, improving the patient's quality of life and reducing the dose of oral glucocorticosteroids. The targeted biological drug benralizumab 30 mg/1 ml has a targeted effect on the key links in the pathogenesis of severe uncontrolled asthma with a combined allergic and eosinophilic phenotype in the presence of hypersensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and reduces the burden of severe disease.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
[Application of HS221GI in treatment of influenza and ARVI in adults: a new approach - managing virus-induced inflammation. Results of a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial].
Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the drug Aterixen® (XC221GI, 1-[2-(1-methylimidazole-4-yl)-ethyl]perhydroazine-2,6-dione), in the treatment of uncomplicated forms of influenza and other ARVI in adults. ⋯ The drug has demonstrated a favorable safety profile for use in outpatient practice. Aterixen® is an effective and safe treatment for influenza and other ARVI in adults.

The article presents an overview of clinical recommendations for currant antiretroviral therapy. Currently, the current preferred first-line antiretroviral therapy regimens are combinations of 2 or 3 antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in one tablet with a frequency of administration 1 time per day and, as a rule, include drugs of the 2nd generation (integrase inhibitors or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors). These schemes have high efficiency and a good genetic barrier in the development of HIV resistance mutations. ⋯ Schemes with the least number and spectrum of side effects, no effect on metabolic processes and minimal drug interactions have advantages. Switching patients to injectable therapy regimens with a frequency of administration of drugs once every 2 months can significantly improve the quality of life of patients and, accordingly, adherence to their treatment. The development and introduction of new classes of ARVs into clinical practice ensures the suppression of HIV replication in most patients with HIV strains resistant to drugs of the main groups of ARVs (nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase.
