ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of thrombolytic therapy (TLT) with the drug Revelisa (alteplase) in patients with ischemic stroke (AI) in real clinical practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An open prospective multicenter non-interventional register study was conducted, which included 550 patients with AI - 259 (47.1%) women and 291 (52.9%) men; average age 67.7±12.6 years. All included patients underwent TLT with the drug Revelisa within 4.5 hours from the onset of the disease and, according to the protocol of reperfusion therapy of AI, clinical, instrumental and laboratory examinations were performed. Symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (GT) was determined in accordance with the criteria of the ECASS 3 study. RESULTS: The majority of patients (95.8%) suffered from hypertension, 69.6% had chronic heart failure, 53.8% had coronary heart disease, 38.7% had various cardiac arrhythmias, 20.7% of patients suffered from type 2 diabetes mellitus. A day after TLT, an improvement of 4 points or more on the NIHSS scale was noted in 45% of patients. The average dynamics index on the NIHSS stroke scale after a day was -3.2±4.7 and -4.4±6.1 per 7 females (p<0.0001). GT of the lesion of the brain developed in 10.9% of cases, symptomatic GT was diagnosed in 12 (2.3%) patients. The hospital mortality rate was 12.7%. The proportion of patients with good functional recovery (0-2 points on the modified Rankin scale (mRS)) at discharge, on days 30 and 90 was 44.7%, 59.2% and 68.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Performing TLT with the drug Revelisa in patients with AI leads to a statistically significant regression of neurological symptoms. A significant proportion of patients achieve a favorable clinical outcome upon discharge from the hospital and in the long term. The obtained data on the efficacy and safety profile correlate with previously published register studies of alteplase in AI.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of Revelisa in patients with ischemic stroke in real-world clinical practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The interim analysis of an open-label, prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study IVT-AIS-R included 223 patients (50.2% women and 49.8% men, mean age 66.6 (13.5) years) with ischemic stroke who were admitted to the study sites since July 2019 and who, in the absence of contraindications, underwent thrombolytic therapy (TLT) with Revelisa within the first 4.5 hours from the onset of stroke. Data were collected as a continuous sample. According to the reperfusion therapy protocol for ischemic stroke, all patients included in the study underwent clinical examination, investigations and laboratory tests before TLT and within the first days after it. Symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation was determined in accordance with the ECASS 3 criteria. RESULTS: Most of the patients (96%) had hypertension, 74% of patients had chronic heart failure, 57.4% had coronary artery disease, of which 8.5% were patients with a previous myocardial infarction. Various cardiac arrhythmias were observed in 33.2% of cases, 21.5% of patients had type 2 diabetes, 18.4% had a history of previous acute cerebrovascular accidents. Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of a cerebral lesion developed in 7.1% of cases, with the frequency of symptomatic HT being 3.1% (7 patients). The hospital mortality rate was 13.9%. The median NIHSS score was 4 points (p<0.0001) on day 7 versus baseline. The proportion of patients with good functional recovery (the modified Rankin scale score 0-2) at discharge was 48.2%. CONCLUSION: The data obtained with the use of Revelisa in patients with ischemic stroke in real-world clinical practice allow drawing conclusions about a comparable safety and efficacy profile to that in previously published registry studies of alteplase.

AIM: To assess quality of life of patients with first-ever atherothrombotic stroke in the carotid artery territory 2 years after the disease onset. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Authors examined 119 patients. Quality of life was measured with the «SF-36 Health Status Survey¼ using two parameters: level of mental (MH) and physical (PH) health. A control group consisted of 20 sex- and age-matched healthy persons without neurological diseases. RESULTS: After two years, 67% of the patients assessed their health condition as satisfactory. In the patients, a decrease in PH was greater compared to MH than in controls. CONCLUSION: In post-stroke period, patients for a long time had lower quality of life indices with marked physical impairment. Elimination of or reduction in the focal neurological deficit that led to the decrease in the level of physical wellbeing may be considered as a significant rehabilitation reserve.
ABSTRACT
Development of effective information support for monitoring of internal health, based on the principles of complex diagnostics, provides the necessary tools objektive evaluation and prediction of mental health in servicemen. Effectiveness of psychiatric prophylaxys technologies depends on compliance with a number of fundamental principles, the main of which should be considered as a multidimensional assessment of mental health in servicemen and real cooperation of different specialists (commanders, specialists of medical and psychological service) for its implementation. In this case, an introduction of information and communication technologies on the basis of the district (fleet) and the Central Military Hospital, as well as other bodies of military control will be almost justified only when creating a full-fledged "information field of military psychiatry" that implements the basic principles of the monitoring system of mental health and includes necessary infrastructure. The practical implementation of this system will allow to personjfyfy medical and psychological assistance to military personnel, to improve early diagnosis of mental disorders, addictive .and suicidal behaviour, and thus increase the effectiveness throughout psychiatric prophylaxis in the army.

The current article positions the combined burn and non-burn injuries in the general array of civilian and combat burns. For that purpose the official state statistics and scientific medical publications, domestic as well as foreign, have been analyzed. It has been shown that in peace time the combined burn/trauma injuries are infrequent. But the same type of injury becomes routine especially among the civilian population in the conditions of the modern so called "hybrid war". And the medical service should be prepared for it.
