Investigate inhalation techniques using different inhalers types and their effect on the course of disease. ⋯ Patients with bronchoobstructive diseases perform many inhaler errors, that substantially influences the severity and course of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Observational Study
[Clinic and functional features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease after virus-induced acute exacerbations.].
To establish symptoms, lung function and to evaluate subsequent exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during a year after virus-induced COPD exacerbations. ⋯ COPD after virus-induced exacerbations were characterized by progression of airflow limitation, low DLco/Va, low 6-minute walking test distance, subsequent COPD exacerbations risk.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by a high level of morbidity and mortality and is associated with significant social and economic damage to the health system and society. COPD and COVID-19 have many potentially negative relationships that can lead to worse outcomes of COVID-19, including impaired lung function, old age and the presence of concomitant diseases Aim. To assess efficacy and safety of the drug Tixagevimab + Cilgavimab for the pre-contact prevention of COVID-19 infection in patients with COPD. ⋯ The effectiveness of pre-contact prevention of COVID-19 was 88.8%. The administration of the drug does not provoke an exacerbation of the underlying disease. The main clinical and functional indicators have positive dynamics by the 6th month of follow-up. The drug is well tolerated and has no significant both early and late complications.

The article presents a brief review of Heart Diseases (1936), the monograph by one of the founders of domestic and world cardiology Dmitry Dmitrievich Pletnev. In the monograph, he summarized his clinical and experimental approach to the issues of heart diseases, addressed several fundamental problems of modern physiology and healthcare, introduced the concept of "functional unit" and "functional unity of the whole body", the concept of the extracardiac genesis of the chest frog, differential diagnosis of left and right ventricle myocardial infarction, semiotics and treatment of chronic heart failure, functional diagnosis of heart arrhythmias. All these approaches and concepts have long been included in the classics of world cardiology.

Despite the well-studied pathogenesis, the etiology of autoimmune liver disease (AILD) remains unknown. ⋯ In our work, we have demonstrated the relationship of past hepatitis A, B, E and AILD, as well as the high risk of developing severe fibrosis in patients with AILD and markers of hepatitis A and B viruses indicates the possible involvement of these viruses in the pathogenesis of AILD.
