Peculiarities and comparative characteristics of three main Moscow schools on the field of internal medicine of the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries are discussed: schools of Grigory Zakharyin, Alexey Ostroumov and Vassily Shervinsky - Leonid Golubinin; the legitimacy to acknowledge scientific clinical schools of Mikhail Cherinov and Nikolay Golubov is disputed. The arguments are provided that of the Moscow therapeutic schools, it was the Shervinsky-Golubinin school, and not the Zakharyin or Ostroumov school, that played the most significant role in the formation of the internal medicine in the USSR, in passing the accumulated knowledge and ideas to therapeutic elites in the USSR.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a relevant issue in clinical practice and is still a diagnosis of exclusion. Despite the low incidence in the general population, DILI is the cause of most cases of acute hepatic injury and has a mortality rate of up to 50%. ⋯ It aligns with the international criteria of the Rousell Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM), which is considered one of the main diagnostic algorithms for DILI. The article addresses current DILI classification, risk factors, diagnostic algorithms, causalities, clinical evaluation, promising liver function biomarkers, and specific treatment.

To compare the effectiveness of rabeprazole original and generic products in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using impedance-pH monitoring. ⋯ In treating GERD with the rabeprazole original product compared to generics, a significantly longer duration of acid production suppression, a more pronounced decrease in esophageal acidification, and a more statistically significant clinical improvement were observed.

A review of publications devoted to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms and features of the functioning of genes that affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) is presented. Objective of the study was to reveal information about genes whose polymorphism may affect the effectiveness of SGLT2i. The review was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 recommendations, the search for publications was carried out in the PubMed databases (including Medline), Web of Science, as well as Russian scientific electronic libraries eLIBRARY. ⋯ Polymorphisms in the structure of several genes (SLC5A2, UGT1A9, ABCB1, PNPLA3) have been described that may affect the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by diseases such as chronic heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The information found on the genetic features of the development of the effects of SGLT2i is limited to a description of the differences in their pharmacokinetics. The relevance of currently available pharmacogenetic studies is largely constrained by small sample sizes.

Epidemiological studies have proven the connection between high consumption of dietary fiber and a reduction in the risk of many diseases. In clinical trials, the possibility of functional regulation of the intestine and intestinal microbiome by dietary fibers has been revealed, which may be significant in certain diseases of the digestive system. This review provides information on the relationship between the physico-chemical properties and functional characteristics of dietary fibers, discusses evidence of the effectiveness of their use in the treatment of diseases of the digestive system, discusses the need to enrich food with dietary fibers.
