to evaluate the medico-economic significance of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in the Russian Federation, to calculate the economic burden of NLUTD in patients with targeted entities and to prepare suggestions for improving the methods of payment for the provision of medical care to patients with NLUTD in inpatient practice. ⋯ Evaluation of the prevalence and burden of NLUTD showed the high medical and economic significance of NLUTD in the Russian Federation. The results of the study indicate a significant discrepancy between the requirements and the real costs within federal guarantees for the organization of medical care for patients with NLUTD. To provide effective specialized urological care in the compulsory medical insurance at the rates of CSG for neuro-urological care, it is necessary to increase funding, through the correction at the federal level of the cost-intensity coefficient from 1.65 to 2.75 for the CSG st30.005, which will ensure the increase in the cost for a case of treatment in inpatient department in form 39 936 to 68 531 rubles. The weighted average savings while expanding the availability of complex neuro-urological care for patients with NLUTD in accordance with the proposed payment rates is 9.4 billion rubles per year.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Influence of phenazopyridine on the well-being of patients during and after cystoscopy].
Cystoscopy is one of the most common procedures in urology. There is no single approach to pain relief. In the literature, there are conflicting data on the efficiency of intra-urethral gels. The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intravenous sedation, and nitric oxide analgesia has been described. Phenazopyridine has been known for a long time. Acting on the bladder mucosa, it has a local analgesic effect. AN evaluation of phenazopyridine intake prior to cystoscopy in order to decrease pain during procedure and facilitate subsequent urination was performed. ⋯ The intake of phenazopyridine allows to reduce pain intensity during and after cystoscopy and alleviate pain during first urination.

The concept of the formation of immunological tolerance is a promising direction for correcting the renal transplant rejection. One of these methods is extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP), however, according to the literature, there is no single concept of its mechanisms of action in the formation of immunological tolerance in transplantology. ⋯ ECP initiates immunological tolerance through the activation of a second co-activation pathway between B-7 and CTLA-4 molecules in the early period after kidney transplantation. As a result, a clone of tolerogenic CD3+CD4+ T-lymphocytes is formed, which differentiates into T-regulatory cells and maintains immunological tolerance in the long-term period. Using ECP as a part of combination therapy allows to normalize the indicators of cellular immunity in the long-term period.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
[Efficiency and safety of phenazopyridine for treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection: results of multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical study].
to evaluate the efficiency and safety of phenazopyridine for the treatment of patients with uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection, accompanied by pain. ⋯ The results of the study showed that phenazopyridine is an effective and well-tolerated drug for symptomatic therapy in patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis and can be recommended in addition to etiological therapy.

Lower urinary tract infections (LUTI) currently retain the status of one of the most urgent problems of urology. According to extensive microbiological studies of UTIAP I and II, "DARMIS" the most common pathogens that are detected in the urine of women with LUTI are gram-negative bacteria of the Enterobacteriales family, in particular E. Coli. ⋯ Several studies demonstrated high safety profile and effectiveness of long-term D-mannose treatment in preventing LUTI. The data presented in the literature allow us to recommend patients with recurrent LUTI long term D-mannose intake helps to reduce the severity of symptoms in acute episodes and prolong relapse-free period. As a source of D-mannose, we can recommend Ecocystin 1 sachet 1 time a day.
