[Diagnostics and treatment of intraductal papillary mucinous pancreas neoplasm].

A clinical case of a 71-year-old patient with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN) is presented. The diagnosis was established using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography. Asymptomatic course, absence of pain syndrome, obstruction, exocrine and endocrine pancreatic failure, relatively satisfactory general health, but the presence of structural changes: an increase cyst in the head of the pancreas measuring 27×23 mm, expansion of the main pancreatic duct up to 13 mm raised doubts about the choice of treatment tactics, the need for surgical intervention. To exclude the risk of malignancy and the choice of treatment tactics, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed, a cytological examination of the material, an expert opinion determined the scope of the surgical intervention. IPMN is a rather rare tumor of the pancreas. For a long time, IPMN flow "under the guise" of chronic pancreatitis. Depending on the type of degree of dysplasia and invasiveness of IPMN, the tactics of treatment and the volume of surgical intervention are determined. High-tech methods provide high information content in the diagnosis of IPMN. But only a morphological study allows you to determine the tactics of treatment.

[PROM a contemporary approach to assessing the quality of life of patients with cancer].

PRO (patient reported outcomes) is a patient's subjective assessment of health and quality of life, without interpretation by a specialist. PROM (patient reported outcomes measure) questionnaires are used to analyzing this data. Assessment of the quality of life is a perspective direction, which allows to improve the quality of medical care and treatment results. Today, there are many questionnaires PROM, their reliability and validity has been proven in numerous studies. Unified standards and methods for developing and evaluating questionnaires have been developed. Interest in the use of quality of life questionnaires is increasing constantly. However, studies analyzing the data of the PROM questionnaires are rarely found in the national literature. Quality of life is also poorly researched in clinical practice. The aim of the literature review is to present modern methods for assessing the quality of life of patients, especially with cancer. A review of the most widespread and reliable questionnaires and assessment instruments for the quality of life of a patient has been carried out. The analysis of world experience of their use in clinical practice, for patients with cancer has been performed. Examples of both general and specific questionnaires are given. PROM questionnaires are widely used among patients with cancer. However, incorrect use of PROMs is found in the literature, and in patients with certain nosologies PROM data studied poorly. Further analysis of the potential of PROM questionnaires implementation is required, as well as their translation and adaptation for use in Russian health care.

[Minimally invasive esophagectomy for benign esophageal diseases: results of a two-center study]. / Minimal'no invazivnaya ezofagektomiya pri dobrokachestvennykh zabolevaniyakh pishchevoda: rezul'taty dvukhtsentrovogo issledovaniya.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results of thoracoscopic esophagectomy for benign esophageal diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 78 patients who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy between 2011 and 2019. Peptic and burn strictures of the esophagus were diagnosed in 53 patients, achalasia - in 24 patients. Minimally invasive esophagectomy and esophagoplasty with isoperistaltic gastric tube and esophagogastrostomy on the neck was performed in 68 patients, Ivor Lewis esophagectomy - in 1 patient, coloesophagoplasty - in 9 patients. We used manual technique of anastomosis in 58 patients, stapling device - in 19 patients. In 1 case, surgery was finished with esophagostomy and gastrostomy. RESULTS: Mean blood loss was 200 ml (10-1200), surgery time - 450 min (265-765 min). Early postoperative complications occurred in 37 patients including anastomotic leakage in 24 cases. In long-term period, anastomotic strictures developed in 9 patients. No mortality was observed. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive esophagectomy for benign esophageal diseases ensures favorable clinical outcomes. However, no consensus in the choice of surgical approach and indications, as well as small number of these patients cause challenges in implementation of this technique. There are different opinions regarding technique of anastomosis on the neck and surgical access in thoracoscopic esophagectomy.

[Poorly cohesive gastric carcinoma. Validity of using the term; translation variants]. / Kartsinoma zheludka iz plokho stseplennykh kletok. Pravomochnost' ispol'zovaniya termina i varianty perevoda.

Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is common practice to use two classification systems: the Lauren classification system and the WHO classification of tumors in the morphological study of gastric carcinomas. Since 2010, the WHO classifications have included the term "poorly cohesive carcinoma", which refers to all diffuse forms of gastric cancer, including signet ring cell carcinoma and other subtypes. Despite this, the term has not been widely used in the world community, and it is almost not found in Russian literature. Only recently, after the publication of the 5th edition of the WHO classification (2019), there have been review articles where the term is used, but its name can be translated into Russian in different ways: poor-, weak -, low-adhesive, discogesive. The paper analyzes the Pubmed and Elibrary databases in order to find out the frequency of using various designations for diffuse gastric carcinoma, justifies the use of the term «poorly cohesive carcinoma¼, and proposes a variant of the term interpretation in Russian.

[Chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction: difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. Case report].

The article presents a clinical case of a 23-year-old patient with an extremely severe congenital form of chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction coupled with a neuromyopathy,colon malrotation, malabsorption, bacterial overgrowth syndrome, cholelithiasis and gastrostasis, which excluded bowel transplantation. Long-term treatment in the intensive care unit with combined, mainly parenteral nutrition for 6 months, using antibiotics, prokinetics, intestinal decompression allowed to achieve partial stabilization of the patients condition and transfer to home treatment with the continuation of adequate complex therapy.

[Clinical portrait of a patient with COVID-19. The experience of a multidisciplinary clinic].

AIM: Evaluation of the clinical characteristics in patients with COVID-19. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The article presents clinical and instrumental data of 1169 patients included in a single-center mixed study. Patients were tested for COVID-19 using polymerase chain reaction, computed tomography (CT), and antibody screening. Clinical history data were collected. RESULTS: In patients with confirmed COVID-19, lung damage and a positive test for antibodies were observed in 75.5 and 45.2% of cases, respectively. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 were: fever (73.2%), weakness, (72.7%) dry cough (62.8%) and shortness of breath (55.4%). Patients with CT-visualized lung lesions were more likely to have clinical symptoms and elevated levels of antibodies. Patients with chronic diseases of the endocrine system, circulatory system, and respiratory system had a more severe course of the disease (CT-14: 91.296.3%) than patients without chronic diseases (CT-14: 85,1%). CONCLUSION: We have compiled a clinical profile of patients with COVID-19 and highlighted the most significant clinical characteristics corresponding to a more severe course of the disease. Our data showed that patients with chronic diseases require a personalized approach and the development of specific criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.

[Diagnostic and conservative treatment nuances in patients with obstructive jaundice: in the wake of Russian consensus].
