RESUMO
AIM: To perform language and cultural adaptation and validation of the OABSS (Overactive Bladder Symptom Score) questionnaire among patients with overactive bladder (OAB), proposed as an effective tool for assessing the severity of symptoms and the efficiency of treatment in clinics of the Russian Federation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In accordance with the protocols for carrying out such studies, the procedure of standardized forward-backward translation of the OABSS questionnaire was performed. Further, the intermediate Russian-language version was applied to 15 patients with subsequent correction of deficiencies and approval of the final Russian-language version of the questionnaire. In total, the study group included 176 patients of both sexes with OAB symptoms who filled out the questionnaire twice (test-retest) with an interval of 10-14 days. RESULTS: Based on the statistical analysis (Cronbach's alpha = 0.961), there was a significant degree of internal consistency of the sample. This fact is also supported by the very high retest reliability of the questionnaire (ICC >0.9). CONCLUSION: Our data showed that the Russian version of the OABSS questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for subjective assessment of the severity of OAB symptoms.

The authors presented an original material, devoted to first experience of teaching of theoretical bases of venture financing of scientifically-innovative projects in medical high school. The results and conclusions were based on data of the questionnaire performed by the authors. More than 90% of young scientist physicians recognized actuality of this problem for realization of their research work results into practice. Thus, experience of teaching of theoretical bases of venture financing of scientifically-innovative projects in medical high school proves reasonability of further development and inclusion the module "The venture financing of scientifically-innovative projects in biomedicine" in the training plan.

Among sexually transmitted diseases, the incidence of primary and secondary syphilis has substantially increased in Russian Federation within the recent years. Modern clinicians, acquainted only with conventional dermatovenerologic symptoms of the disease, are less aware of rare manifestations of syphilis as a generalized infection. A rare case of syphilis with infiltrative pulmonary lesion is discussed in the article; the attention of practitioners is drawn to "unusual" manifestations of syphilis.

The clinical-and-pathogenetic significance of protein C was dynamically investigated within the infection processes in 23 patients (mean age 44 years) with meningococcemia. A reliably lower concentration of protein C in blood plasma (mean 37.8%) was registered versus the normal parameters (N = 70-130%) at exacerbation irrespective of a disease outcome. Leyden mutation was detected in 30.5% of patients. The presence of the above genetic defect denoted a predisposition to a severe disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) syndrome in patients of the studied group. A lower concentration of protein C was detected in blood plasma of patients with meningococcemia; it correlated with severity of the infection process and with the development of organic malfunction. The study of the concentration of protein C enabled an evaluation of the functional condition of anticoagulation mechanisms in the DIC development and can be regarded as an important extra criterion for the evaluation of thrombohemorrhagic syndrome in patients with meningococcemia.
