Úvod: Jedním z onemocnění, které je potenciálním rizikovým stavem pro vznik chronické pankreatitidy, je pankreatitida akutní. Materiál: Z celkového počtu 231 osob, které bylo sledovaných s diagnózou chronické pankreatitidy, 56 nemocných bylo iniciálně léčeno s akutní pankreatitidou (24,2 %). V intervalu 12–24 měsíců od prvé ataky akutní pankreatitidy jejich stav postupně progredoval do obrazu pankreatitidy chronické. Osoby zařazené do studie po 1. atace akutní pankreatitidy abstinovaly, během období jejich sledování nebyla recidiva akutní pankreatitidy prokázána. Výsledky: V etiologii akutní pankreatitidy převládal alkohol (55,3 %), biliární etiologie byl prokázána v 35,7 %. Dle revidované Atlantské klasifikace byla u 69,6 % nemocných stanovena pankreatitida těžká, ostatní nemocní splnili kritérium formy intermediární, nemocní s lehkou formou nebyli zařazeni. Závěr: Významnými přítomnými rizikovými faktory bylo kouření a obezita a u 18 %, resp. u 25,8 % nemocných byl zjištěn pankreatogenní diabetes mellitus. Přitom 88,1 % nemocných trpících akutní pankreatitidou byli kuřáci. Největší počet osob s chronickou pankreatitidou po atace pankreatitidy akutní byl v produktivním věku, tj. 25–50 let. Do chronické pankreatitidy nepřechází pouze akutní pankreatitida alkoholická, ale nalezli jsme tento přechod i u pankreatitidy biliární etiologie., Introduction: One of the diseases involving a potential risk of developing chronic pancreatitis is acute pancreatitis. Material: Of the overall number of 231 individuals followed with a diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis, 56 patients were initially treated for acute pancreatitis (24.2 %). Within an interval of 12- 24 months from the first attack of acute pancreatitis, their condition gradually progressed to reached the picture of chronic pancreatitis. The individuals included in the study abstained (from alcohol) following the first attack of acute pancreatitis and no relapse of acute pancreatitis was proven during the period of their monitoring. Results: The etiology of acute pancreatitis identified alcohol as the predominant cause (55.3 %), biliary etiology was proven in 35.7 %. According to the revised Atlanta classification, severe pancreatitis was established in 69.6 % of the patients, the others met the criterion for intermediate form, those with the light form were not included. Conclusion: Significant risk factors present among the patients were smoking, obesity and 18 %, resp. 25.8 % had pancreatogenous diabetes mellitus identified. 88.1 % of the patients with acute pancreatitis were smokers. The majority of individuals with chronic pancreatitis following an attack of acute pancreatitis were of a productive age from 25 to 50 years. It is not only acute alcoholic pancreatitis which evolves into chronic pancreatitis, we have also identified this transition for pancreatitis of biliary etiology., and Martina Bojková, Petr Dítě, Magdalena Uvírová, Nina Dvořáčková, Bohuslav Kianička, Tomáš Kupka, Pavel Svoboda, Pavel Klvaňa, Arnošt Martínek
Chylózní ascites představuje zřídka se vyskytující komplikaci radikálních onkogynekologických operačních výkonů v retroperitoneu, především jako následek systematické pánevní a zejména paraaortální lymfadenektomie. Terapeutický přístup je vysoce individuální, primárně konzervativní s důrazem na zavedení dietních omezení a vede k výsledkům za 4–8 týdnů. V případě jeho selhání, je indikovaná chirurgická terapie, která může být metodou první volby s vysokou úspěšností řešení problému v případě jasně detekované lokalizace úniku lymfy., Chylous ascites is a rare complication of oncogynaecological surgery in retroperitoneum as a result of systematic pelvic and paraaortal lymphadenectomy. Therapeutical approach is highly individual, primary conservative with accent to dietary restriction and leading to results in 4–8 weeks. In case of failure, surgical therapy is indicated and can be first in line with high rate of curability if location of extravasation of chylus is detected. nutrition, paracenthesis., Gabriel Jelenek, Monika Náležinská, and Literatura
Metastatický melanom je agresivní onemocnění. Dosud využívané léčebné možnosti jako aplikace dakarbazinu, temozolomidu, high dose interleukinu-2 byly relativně omezené. Vemurafenib je malá molekula, která má schopnost inhibovat mutovanou BRAF proteinkinázu. Na základě provedených klinických studií BRIM-2 a BRIM-3, kdy vemurafenib dokázal prodloužit celkové přežití (OS) a dobu do progrese onemocnění (PFS), byl zaregistrována v EU k léčbě v monoterapii u dospělých pacientů s neresekovatelným nebo metastazujícím melanomem s pozitivní mutací V600 genu BRAF., Metastatic melanoma is an aggressive disease. Historical treatment options have been limited (e.g. dacarbazine, temozolomide, high dose interleukin-2) and associated with poor outcomes. Vemurafenib is a first-in-class, small molecule BRAFV600 inhibitor. Vemurafenib is approved in the EU as monotherapy in adult patients with BRAFV600 mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma. In the trial BRIM-2 a BRIM-3 vemurafenib significantly improved both overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in patients with unresectable melanoma., Ivo Kocák, Ilona Kocáková, Stanislav Špelda, and Literatura
Assaultive acts committed by people with a mental illness is a major public health issue that affects patients with their families, law enforcement authorities, and the public at large. Failure to provide treatment is in fact a major predictor of assaultive acts in patients with schizophrenia living in the community. Considering that the indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia have similar sociocultural characteristics, these factors may be reflected in individuals with schizophrenia who have committed serious assaultive acts in Uzbekistan. Objectives: The aim of the work was to identify the sociocultural and clinical characteristics of schizophrenic representatives of indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia who have committed violent crimes in Uzbekistan and have been found insane in regard to their offence, and to compare these subjects to ones belonging to the other ethnic groups. Material and methods: The data were collected in 2010–2013 in the Tashkent High Security Psychiatric Hospital via face-to-face interviews and also from the patients’ charts and from forensic psychiatric examination statements. Results: The sample consisted of 201 individuals. The sample was 90.1 percent (n = 181) male, with a predominance of the paranoid schizophrenia subtype according to the ICD-10 criteria. Of the subjects, 174 ones (86.6%) were representatives of the indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia, and 27 ones (13.4%) were representatives of other ethnic groups. The duration of illness among the subjects belonging to the indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia was less than in the other group; the individuals were rarely referred to psychiatric care because of the popularity of alternative medicine and the stigma attached to mental illness. A positive correlation between violence and various psychotic symptoms, such as delusions, hallucinations, and thought disorder, has also been demonstrated in this group. European Medical, Health and Pharmaceutical Journal ISSN 1804-5804 Conclusions: Sociocultural characteristics, such as delayed referral for psychiatric care because of the popularity of alternative medicine and the stigma attached to mental illness among the indigenous ethnic groups of Central Asia, frequently factor into committing serious acts of assault because of developing psychotic symptoms at the early stages of disease despite their sufficient socioenvironmental adaptation., Saida Yеshimbetova, Bulat Chembaev, and Literatura
Úvod: PARADIGM HF srovnávala inhibitor angiotenzinového receptoru a inhibitor neprilysinu LCZ696 s enalaprilem u nemocných se srdečním selháním a sníženou ejekční frakcí. Metodika: Jednalo se o dvojitě slepou studii u 8 442 nemocných se srdečním selháním NYHA klasifikace II, III a IV a ejekční frakcí pod 40 %, kteří dostávali LCZ696 (2 × 200 mg) nebo enalapril (2 × 10 mg) přidané ke standardní medikaci. Primární cíl byl smíšený – kardiovaskulární mortalita a hospitalizace pro první srdeční selhání. Studie byla naplánována tak, aby odhalila rozdíl v kardiovaskulární mortalitě. Výsledky: Studie byla ukončena předčasně podle předepsaných pravidel při průměrné době sledování 27 měsíců pro jasný prospěch z léčby LCZ696. V době ukončení se primární cíl vyskytl u 914 nemocných (21,8 %) ve LCZ696 skupině a u 1 117 nemocných (26,5 %) ve skupině léčené enalaprilem (HR LCZ696 skupina, 0,80; 95% CI, 0,73–0,87; p < 0,001). Celkem 711 nemocných (17,0 %) léčených LCZ696 a 835 nemocných (19,8 %) léčených enalaprilem zemřelo (HR pro úmrtí z jakékoli příčiny 0,84; 95% CI, 0,76–0,93; p < 0,001); z těchto nemocných 558 (13,3 %) a 693 (16,5 %) zemřelo z kardiovaskulární příčiny (HR 0,80; 95% CI, 0,71–0,89; p < 0,001). LCZ696 ve srovnání s enalaprilem snižoval riziko hospitalizace pro srdeční selhání o 21 % (p < 0,001) a snižoval symptomy srdečního selhání (p = 0,001). Ve skupině léčené LCZ696 bylo více hypotenzí a nezávažných angioedémů, ale menší výskyt renálního selhání, hyperkalemie a kašle než ve skupině léčené enalaprilem. Závěr: LCZ696 byl účinnější než enalapril ve snížení rizika kardiovaskulárního úmrtí a hospitalizací pro srdeční selhání. Klíčová slova: LCZ696 – enalapril – srdeční selhání, Background: PARADIGM‑HF compared the angiotensin receptor‑neprilysin inhibitor LCZ696 with enalapril in patients who had heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction. Methods: In this double‑blind trial, 8442 patients with class II, III, or IV heart failure and an ejection fraction of 40% or less were assigned to receive either LCZ696 (at a dose of 200 mg twice daily) or enalapril (at a dose of 10 mg twice daily), in addition to the standard therapy. There were two primary outcomes – mortality from cardiovascular causes and hospitalisation for heart failure, but the trial was designed to detect the differences in the rates of mortality from cardiovascular causes. Results: In line with the pre‑specified rules, the trial was stopped early, after a median follow‑up of 27 months, because the boundary indicating a clear benefit achieved with LCZ696 had been exceeded. At the time of study closure, the primary outcome had occurred in 914 patients (21.8%) in the LCZ696 group and 1117 patients (26.5%) in the enalapril group (hazard ratio in the LCZ696 group, 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73 to 0.87; P < 0.001). A total of 711 patients (17.0%) receiving LCZ696 and 835 patients (19.8%) receiving enalapril died (hazard ratio for death from any cause, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.76 to 0.93; P < 0.001); of these patients, 558 (13.3%) and 693 (16.5%), respectively, died from cardiovascular causes (hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.71 to 0.89; P < 0.001). As compared with enalapril, LCZ696 also reduced the risk of hospitalisation for heart failure by 21% (P < 0.001) and decreased the symptoms and physical limitations of heart failure (P = 0.001). The LCZ696 group showed higher proportions of patients with hypotension and non‑serious angioedema but lower proportions of patients with renal impairment, hyperkalemia, and cough when compared to the enalapril group. Conclusions: LCZ696 was more effective than enalapril in reducing the risk of death and of hospitalisation for heart failure.

Comparative assessment of clinical efficiency of omeprazole and rabeprazole in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). 65 patients with a verified diagnosis GERD were examined. Comparative clinical investigations of using of omeprazole and rabeprazole have revealed effectiveness of both drugs in the therapy of GERD. However, rabeprazole showed antisecretory action in the earlier periods, providing stable clinical remission of GERD and early scarring of erosive lesions of the esophageal mucosa, compared with omeprazole., Mirvasit Karimov, Abdujabar Akhmatkhodjaev, and Literatura
This article presents results of using proton therapy after operation of patient with brain meningioma. After operation brain meningiomas is known to not rarely recur due to certain localization and growth of tumor into main cerebral vessels, nerves and other main brain structures. This creates certain difficulties in operative access and surgical intervention, i.e. tumor resection. Proton therapy sharply reduces complications and improves the quality of life of patients., Jamshidjon Alimov, Rustamjon Alimov, and Literatura
Concha bullosa (CB) is among the most common anatomic variations of sinonasal anatomy. Although usually asymptomatic, CB can occasionally cause nasal obstruction or headache. Obstructions within the mucociliary transport system can develop into a mucocele or mucopyocele. A 48-year-old female, with a history of progressive headache and nasal obstruction, was referred to our department. Paranasal sinus tomography revealed a nasal mass in the left nasal cavity resembling a mucopyocele in the middle turbinate. Under general anesthesia, the purulent material was aspirated, and the lateral part of the left turbinate was resected. Mucopyoceles are common within the paranasal sinuses, but uncommon with CB; thus, they should be considered in patients with a large hyperemic nasal mass. and K. Sari, Z. K. Gencer, Y. Kantekin
The target of research was the implementation of the comparative analysis of conservative therapy of preparation of basic therapy and also new methods of treatment (anticytokine therapy). Appointment of salofalk in twos tablets (0, 5) 34 times a day per os, and also 2,0 gr in the form of a rectal enema unitary for a period of seven days, then had transferd the patients to reception 2,0 gr salofalk per os, allowed to achieve substantial improvement patients cliniclaboratory and endoscopic symptoms with a heavy intensification of ulcer colitis variation, providing full cliniclabaratory remissions achievements of disease at 8 (34 %) patients. In the Minister of the Uzbek Public Health of the Republican Science Coloproctological Center at 10 patients with the IDI have spent the therapy remicade, 7 of them had NUC and 3 patients had the Crohn's disease. Therefore, all patients no longer than on the first week after introduction of remicade had improvement of a course disease which was expressed in defering stool, extinction or reduction of pathological impurity in excrement and subsidence bellyaches. During colonoscopical inspection, in 1218 weeks after the first infusion at 80% of the patients had observed disappearance of ulcers and erosion. In terms of 6 months of supervision of relapse of disease was not noted. All new directions in treatment of the IDI, apparently, are perspective, but while are proved only theoretically and had no practical development. Unique and enough effective and safe method at the IDI and already has clinical acknowledgement is remicade., Matkarimov S. R., Rustamov A. E., Rahmonov S. T., and Literatura
