RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the efficacy and safety of therapeutic exercises and chest hardware massage in electrostatic field in patients with COVID-associated viral pneumonia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 1551 patients admitted to the Clinical Hospital No. 1 (MEDSI Group JSC) with COVID-associated pneumonia between April 01, 2020 and June 15, 2021 (ICD-10 U07.1 and U07.2). Considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, we enrolled 153 patients. All patients were divided into comparable groups and subgroups depending on the methods of rehabilitation treatment and CT stage of viral pneumonia. Lung damage was assessed semi-automatically using Philips Portal v11 COPD software. Rehabilitation measures included therapeutic exercises and chest hardware massage in electrostatic field. therapeutic exercises. RESULTS: Therapeutic exercises significantly reduced severity of lung damage in patients with viral pneumonia CT-2 and no oxygen support (from 28.05% [28; 29.5] at admission to 15.3% [14.2; 19.3] at discharge). It was not observed in patients without rehabilitation treatment and in patients undergoing therapeutic exercises and massage in electrostatic field. CONCLUSION: Therapeutic exercises in patients with COVID-19 and baseline lung damage > 25% and < 50% (CT-2 stage) significantly reduce severity of lung damage at discharge compared to the control group.

According to the published data, the rate of fistula formation in the postoperative period ranges from 0.3% to 29%. Currently, due to the high risk of suture failure in the postoperative period and tracheal and esophageal fistulas formation, the options for fistulas treatment by the regenerative rehabilitation methods are under consideration. The frequency of fistula healing and reduction of scar deformities after adipose tissue autografting ranges from 43% to 55%. OBJECTIVE: To develop the minimally invasive technology for postoperative fistulas treatment and describe the real-world experience of its use in terms of hospital stay reduction and patients' quality of life improvement. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients were selected as part of a pilot research project (Development of Personalized Approaches to Regenerative Rehabilitation for Surgical Patients, # 0394-2020-0011). Patients' quality of life was assessed using the Russian version of the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire (Russian version for Russia). This article presents a clinical example of successful repair of a cutaneous tracheal fistula by autografting of adipose tissue three months after fistula formation. RESULTS: In one month after autografting of adipose tissue, the tracheobronchial secretion through the fistula has stopped. According to the follow-up computed tomography of the neck and tracheobronchoscopy, the fistulous passage is not observed. CONCLUSION: The presence of a fistula worsens the patient's quality of life and increases the risk of secondary infection. When treating patients with tracheal fistulas of high and extremely high surgical risk, the method of autografting of adipose tissue can be a safe and effective alternative to conventional surgery. Further study of this method of regenerative rehabilitation is required.
