ESTIMATION OF THE OPTIMAL FIBULAR GRAFT ANGLE FOR PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Authors: YI JIN WOONG , KIM JONG UN , CHA HYUN JAE , YI JINBOK , TAE KI SIK
Published: December 2020

Proximal humerus fracture is a common injury and is usually treated using an internal fixation. However, clinical studies have reported that such treatments are associated with problems such as varus deformity and screw penetration. Therefore, to solve these problems, a surgical method using fibular allografts (FAs) is recently reported. Thus, this study is aimed to confirm the effective insertion angle ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]) of the FA. We applied axial and shear loads to finite element models used in our study. Finite element simulations using these models were repeated five times for each fibular insertion angle. We evaluated the construct stiffness, stress distribution on the plate and fibula, and fracture micromotion. Results showed that the method using the FA caused less stress on the plate and provided higher structural stability than the method without using the FA. In particular, the axis perpendicular condition yielded significantly greater construct stiffness and caused less von Mises stresses than the other conditions. In conclusion, the finite element analysis results showed that the FA inserted horizontally was effective in the treatment of proximal humerus fracture with an unstable medial support.
The Organizational Structure and Operational Logic of an Urban Smart Governance Information Platform: Discussion on the Background of Urban Governance Transformation in China
Authors: Kang Junfang , Wang Xianjun
Published: December 2020

At present, the Chinese government is trying to resolve various social contradictions, such as people’s ever-growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. To do so, urban governance practices including holistic governance, decentralized and interconnected governance, multiple participatory governance, and smart governance have been developed in China. Urban smart governance supported by mobile Internet, the Internet of Things, quantum computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and other information technologies has also entered the field of vision of academics and administrators. However, the research and practice on the integration of organizational structure and smart governance technology for urban governance in China are still insufficient. Hence, this paper proposes the design of the organizational structure of an urban smart governance platform and presents the “1 + N” integrated smart information platform and the “power-sharing linkage, one-center and dual-track” platform construction command system. In this system, the functional module of the information platform for smart urban governance is elaborated. This paper contributes to promoting the modernization of China’s urban governance capacity, which can enhance social equity and social order, promote social democracy and rule of law, and enhance the efficiency of urban governance.

Authors: Xie Lixia , Ni Huiyu , Yang Hongyu , Zhang Jiyong
Published: December 2020

Based on the research of business continuity and information security of the Internet of Things (IoT), a key business node identification model for the Internet of Things security is proposed. First, the business nodes are obtained based on the business process, and the importance decision matrix of business nodes is constructed by quantifying the evaluation attributes of nodes. Second, the attribute weights are improved by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weighting method from subjective and objective dimensions to form the combination weight decision matrix, and the analytic hierarchy process and entropy weighting VIKOR (AE-VIKOR) method are used to calculate the business node importance coefficient to identify the key nodes. Finally, according to the NSL-KDD dataset, the network security events of IoT network intrusion detection based on machine learning are monitored purposefully, and after the information security event occurs in the smart mobile phone, which impacts through IoT on the business system, the impact of the key business node on business continuity is analyzed, and the business continuity risk value is calculated to evaluate the business risk to prove the effectiveness of the model. The experimental results of the civil aviation departure business show that the AE-VIKOR method can effectively identify key business node, and the impact of the key business node on business continuity is analyzed, which further proves the efficiency and accuracy of the model in identifying the key business node.

Published: December 2020

Background. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) has evolved as a well-established treatment in neurosurgery, and identifying appropriate surgical candidates could contribute to better DBS outcomes. The Florida Surgical Questionnaire for Parkinson Disease (FLASQ-PD) is a reasonable screening tool for assessing DBS candidacy in PD patients; however, a Chinese version of FLASQ-PD is needed for functional neurosurgery units in China. In this study, we translated the FLASQ-PD to Chinese and assessed its reliability and validity for Chinese PD patients. Methods. The FLASQ-PD was translated before the study formally started. A single-center retrospective analysis of FLASQ-PD was performed at the Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, between July and December 2019. The Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale III (UPDRS-III) was also used to assess PD patients on and off medication. All patients were evaluated for surgical candidacy by specialists. Results. Overall, 115 PD patients, 25 with parkinsonism and six with multiple system atrophy were consecutively included. Internal consistency of the Chinese FLASQ-PD was roughly adequate (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.664). There were significant differences in mean total scores of the Chinese FLASQ-PD between the diagnostic (Kruskal–Wallis H value = 37.450,

p
≤
0.001

) and surgery-candidacy groups (H = 48.352,

p
≤
0.001

). Drug improvements in UPDRS-III scores were mildly correlated with the Chinese FLASQ-PD scores in the surgery-ready group (Pearson correlation = 0.399,

p
=
0.001

). Conclusions. The Chinese FLASQ-PD, which is a simple and efficient screening tool for clinicians, was developed and initially validated in this retrospective single-center study.

Published: December 2020

Convolutional neural networks as steganalysis have problems such as poor versatility, long training time, and limited image size. For these problems, we present a heterogeneous kernel residual learning framework called DRHNet—Dual Residual Heterogeneous Network—to save time on the networks during the training phase. Instead of using the image as an input of the network, we extract and merge the images into a feature matrix using the rich model and use the generated feature matrix as the real input of the network. The architecture we proposed has good versatility and can reduce the computation and the number of parameters while still getting higher accuracy. On BOSSbase 1.01, we evaluate the performance of DRHNet in the setting of the spatial domain and frequency domain. The preliminary experimental results show that DRHNet shows excellent steganalysis performance against the state-of-the-art steganographic algorithms.

Authors: Zheng Jun , Li Xueqing , Zhang Chunyan , Zhang Yiqiang
Published: December 2020

Aim. Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor of the gynecological oncology worldwide, with a high incidence and mortality rate and poor prognosis. Searching for new diagnostic molecular biomarkers for ovarian cancer is extremely significant. Methods. Here, we analyzed the expression rates of eIF4E and cyclin D1 proteins in 123 cases of cancer tissue samples and 38 cases of paracancerous tissue samples and studied the connection between the expression rates of eIF4E and cyclin D1 proteins by immunohistochemistry and statistically correlated with clinicopathological features in ovarian cancer. Results. The results showed that the expression rates of eIF4E and cyclin D1 proteins in ovarian cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in noncancerous epithelial ovarian tissues (

P
=
0.001

and

P
=
0.032

, respectively). Additionally, the results revealed that a higher expression rate of eIF4E (

P
=
0.008

) was found in the advanced stage (stage III/IV), and also patients with cervical lymph node metastasis displayed higher expression of eIF4E (

P
<
0.001

) and cyclin D1 (

P
=
0.033

) than those without lymph node metastasis. Spearman’s rank correlation test showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the eIF4E and cyclin D1 proteins in ovarian cancer. The Kaplan-Meier method showed that patients with lower expression of eIF4E had marginally better survival than those with high expression of eIF4E (

P
=
0.012

). Multivariate Cox regression analysis further identified that positive expression of eIF4E was an independent prognostic factor. Conclusion. In ovarian cancer, eIF4E might be a valuable biomarker to predict poor prognoses and a potential therapeutic target to develop valid treatment strategies.

Published: December 2020

Observations on metamorphosing tadpoles of Hyalinobatrachium orientale (Anura: Centrolenidae). Metamorphosis, when anuran amphibians resorb their tails and remodel their mouthparts and internal organs, is a vulnerable stage in the frog’s life history. As larvae metamorphose from tadpoles to adult frogs, they are neither suited to aquatic life nor ready for active terrestrial life. Previous studies have examined the duration of metamorphosis in a range of species, with respect to tadpole size, habitat, and other factors; however, the duration of metamorphosis relative to where it takes place has not been reported in centrolenids. In Hyalinobatrachium orientale, metamorphosis takes place on the upper surfaces of the leaves of low understory plants and lasts 3.5–4.0 days, a little longer than expected for the tadpole of this body size. Metamorphs seem to shift their perches from leaf to leaf randomly. There are no significant differences in the temperature or relative humidity of the upper and lower surfaces of leaves in the forest understory; thus, the presence of the metamorphs on the upper surfaces of leaves may provide moisture from the upper story vegetation after rain and protect them from terrestrial predators.

Published: December 2020

Background

Clinical decision-making of invasive high-intensity care for critically ill stage IV cancer patients in the emergency department (ED) is challenging. A reliable and clinically available prognostic score for advanced cancer patients with septic shock presented at ED is essential to improve the quality of intensive care unit care. This study aimed to develop a new prognostic score for advanced solid cancer patients with septic shock available early in the ED and to compare the performance to the previous severity scores.

Methods

This multi-center, prospective cohort study included consecutive adult septic shock patients with stage IV solid cancer. A new scoring system for 28-day mortality was developed and validated using the data of development (January 2016 to December 2017; n = 469) and validation sets (January 2018 to June 2019; n = 428). The developed score’s performance was compared to that of the previous severity scores.

Results

New scoring system for 28-day mortality was based on six variables (score range, 0–8): vital signs at ED presentation (respiratory rate, body temperature, and altered mentation), lung cancer type, and two laboratory values (lactate and albumin) in septic shock (VitaL CLASS). The C-statistic of the VitaL CLASS score was 0.808 in the development set and 0.736 in the validation set, that is superior to that of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (0.656, p = 0.01) and similar to that of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (0.682, p = 0.08). This score could identify 41% of patients with a low-risk group (observed 28-day mortality, 10.3%) and 7% of patients with a high-risk group (observed 28-day mortality, 73.3%).

Conclusions

The VitaL CLASS score could be used for both risk stratification and as part of a shared clinical decision-making strategy for stage IV solid cancer patients with septic shock admitting at ED within several hours.
Adaptive frequency-domain nonlocal means for seismic random noise attenuation
Authors: Wang Hang , Chen Yangkang
Published: December 2020

Nonlocal means (NLM) is one of the classic patch-based methods for random noise attenuation. It assumes that a significant amount of redundant information exists in similar patches, which can be used to restore the original data. However, this method is computationally expensive due to a large number of overlapping patches. In addition, because this method uses a weighted average of patches to suppress noise, when applied to the data with complicated structures, the “average effect” may appear in the denoised results. We have implemented the NLM in the frequency-space domain, which can be called adaptive frequency-domain nonlocal means. This novel strategy will significantly reduce the computational cost and improve the quality of the final result compared to traditional NLM. Considering the impact of filtering parameters on the final result, we also build a mapping relationship between the noise strength and the filtering parameters, which could help obtain the denoised result with less signal leakage. We provide synthetic and field examples to show the superiority of this method over the traditional f-x prediction and NLM methods.

Published: December 2020

Cel pracy

Zaburzenia snu pod postacią bezsenności czy nadmiernej senności w ciągu dnia mają swoje konsekwencje zdrowotne i społeczne. Celem pracy była ocena częstości zaburzeń snu, jakości życia oraz wzorca stosowania substancji psychoaktywnych wśród studentów polskich uczelni wyższych w badaniu internetowym metodą CAVI.

Metoda

Posłużono się Ateńską Skalą Bezsenności, Skalą Senności Epworth oraz Manchesterską Krótką Oceną Jakości Życia.

Wyniki

Wśród respondentów (N=5342) dominowały kobiety (74%). Stwierdzono wysoki odsetek (>51%) zaburzeń snu z przewagą ich występowania u kobiet. Senność w ciągu dnia występowała u 28% respondentów co korelowało z zaburzeniami snu. Stosowanie środków psychoaktywnych jest bardzo powszechne (94%) wśród polskich studentów obu płci, które (poza alkoholem) w istotny sposób wpływają negatywnie na jakość życia (p=0.000). Studenci uczelni o profilu medycznym jedynie nieznacznie różnią się od studentów innych kierunków w ocenie wzorca stosowania używek. Jakość życia osób dotkniętych zaburzeniami snu oceniana jest dużo niżej niż u zdrowej populacji studentów.

Wnioski

Duża skala zjawiska zaburzeń snu oraz stosowania środków psychoaktywnych wśród polskich studentów wymaga dalszej eksploracji ze szczególnym naciskiem na działania prewencyjne oraz terapeutyczne.

Authors: Friedrich Mariola , Fugiel Joanna , Bruszkowska Magda
Published: December 2020

Cel pracy

Celem badań była ocena czy i na ile możliwe jest wdrożenie prawidłowego żywienia u przewlekle psychicznie chorych, objętych całodobową opieką Domu Pomocy Społecznej.

Metoda

W badaniu udział wzięły 52 osoby, przebywające w całodobowym Domu Pomocy Społecznej (DPS) dla osób przewlekle psychicznie chorych. Badania prowadzono metodą prospektywną z wykorzystaniem badań ankietowych, wywiadu żywieniowego, badań antropometrycznych i analizy wybranych wskaźników biochemicznych krwi. Korekta diety, której towarzyszyła prowadzona równolegle prozdrowotna edukacja żywieniowa, polegała na zbilansowaniu jej wartości energetycznej i odżywczej odpowiednio dla płci, wieku, z uwzględnieniem choroby głównej i chorób współistniejących oraz zmianie źródeł podstawowych składników odżywczych, tj. białek, węglowodanów i lipidów, na bardziej zalecane lub prozdrowotne.

Wyniki

Stwierdzono, tak u kobiet jak i u mężczyzn, statystycznie istotne zmniejszenie spożycia energii, wynikające przede wszystkim z istotnego zmniejszenia spożycia lipidów i węglowodanów prostych. Zmiany zachowań żywieniowych znalazły swoje odbicie w statystycznie istotnym wzroście spożycia witamin i składników mineralnych oraz płynów w postaci wody. Zmiany składu diety przełożyły się na pozytywne zmiany wartości stężenia glukozy, triacylogliceroli, cholesterolu całkowitego i jego frakcji HDL- C. i LDL-C. u wielu z badanych pacjentów.

Wnioski

Stwierdzono, że również u pacjentów przewlekle psychicznie chorych możliwe jest wdrożenie, przy ich pełnej akceptacji i współudziale, zasad prawidłowego żywienia. Zmiany w sposobie żywienia znalazły swoje odzwierciedlenie w poprawie wielu funkcji organizmu, w tym w poprawie wartości wskaźników przemian węglowodanowo – lipidowych, także u chorych na schizofrenię, leczonych neuroleptykami.
A half-century of participant observation in psychiatry. Part III: psychopharmacology
Authors: Rybakowski Janusz
Published: December 2020

Trzecia część tryptyku związanego z 50-leciem mojej pracy w psychiatrii dotyczy psychofarmakologii. Ten sposób leczenia zaburzeń psychicznych całkowicie zmienił oblicze współczesnej psychiatrii. Wprowadzenie w latach 1950-tych leków neuroleptycznych (przeciwpsychotycznych) i trójpierścieniowych leków przeciwdepresyjnych spowodowało rewolucję terapeutyczną oraz przyczyniło się się do „medykalizacji” psychiatrii i jej podobieństwa w zakresie leczenia do innych niezabiegowych specjalności medycznych. Odkrycie w latach 1960-tych profilaktycznego działania litu zapoczątkowało erę leków normotymicznych. W okresie ostatniego półwiecza najbardziej dynamiczne dla psychofarmakologii okazały się lata 1990-te, kiedy to wprowadzono większość leków przeciwpsychotycznych i przeciwdepresyjnych tzw. nowej generacji. Wiek 21 to debiut kilku kolejnych leków przeciwdepresyjnych i przeciwpsychotycznych, w tym długo działających iniekcji tych ostatnich. Interesującym wydarzeniem było również wykazanie przeciw-depresyjnego działania ketaminy.
Moją domeną badawczą w psychofarmakologii było leczenie litem chorób afektywnych. Jestem autorem licznych prac na temat litu, z których ponad 150 znajduje się w bazie danych PubMed. Wiele aspektów klinicznych i badawczych związanych ze stosowaniem litu opisano tam po raz pierwszy w piśmiennictwie polskim, a część z nich to artykuły pionierskie w skali międzynarodowej. Ostatnio napisałem książkę pt. „Lit - niezwykły lek w psychiatrii”, która posiada również wersję angielską. Prowadziłem też wiele badań nad lekami przeciwdepresyjnymi, farmakoterapią depresji lekoopornej oraz lekami normotymicznymi, dla których zaproponowałem współczesną klasyfikację. Uczestniczyłem w europejskich programach EUFEST i OPTIMISE dotyczących optymalizacji stosowania leków przeciwpsychotycznych w schizofrenii. Wykonałem również wiele prac badawczych związanych z przeciwdepresyjnym działaniem wlewu ketaminy oraz terapią elektro-wstrząsową.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prezentacja doświadczeń Oddziału Klinicznego Psychiatrii Dorosłych Dzieci i Młodzieży Szpitala Uniwersyteckiego w Krakowie (OKPDDiM) w podejmowaniu roli psychiatrycznego oddziału jednoimiennego dla Województwa Małopolskiego dla osób dorosłych oraz dla Polski południowej w wypadku dzieci i młodzieży w trakcie pandemii COVID-19. W pracy zaprezentowane zostały etapy transformacji, przyjęte rozwiązania praktyczne oraz trudności, na jakie napotkał zespół w trakcie tego procesu. W okresie od 9.04-29.05.2020 roku w warunkach stacjonarnych budynku OKPDDiM leczonych było 9 pacjentów zakażonych SARS-CoV-2, natomiast w dniach 23.03-23.05.2020 roku w głównej siedzibie Szpitala Uniwersyteckiego w Krakowie konsultujący psychiatrzy zaopatrywali 97 chorych zakażonych SARS-CoV-2. Nasze doświadczenia wskazały, że placówki opieki medycznej w Polsce, zwłaszcza te dedykowane pacjentom ze schorzeniami psychicznymi oraz domy opieki długoterminowej, nie były przygotowane do pracy w warunkach kryzysu pandemii. Sytuacja ta uwydatniła też brak rozwiązań systemowych na wypadek kryzysu na szczeblu ogólnokrajowym, w tym zwłaszcza dotyczących psychiatrii dzieci i młodzieży oraz psychiatrii sądowej. Funkcjonowanie w ramach kryzysu sanitarno-epidemiologicznego związanego z możliwością szybkiego pogarszania się stanu somatycznego pacjentów psychiatrycznych wskazuje dobitnie na konieczność powstawania oddziałów psychiatrycznych w szpitalach ogólnych. Wymóg posiadania w ramach oddziałów różnych stref dla pacjentów z wykluczoną infekcją SARS-CoV-2 oraz bez wykluczonej infekcji powinien być uwzględniony w ramach reformy psychiatrii zakładającej regionalną odpowiedzialność ośrodków stacjonarnych.

Effect of adipose tissue thickness and tissue optical properties on the differential pathlength factor estimation for NIRS studies on human skeletal muscle
Authors: Pirovano Ileana , Porcelli Simone , Re Rebecca , Spinelli Lorenzo , Contini Davide , Marzorati Mauro , Torricelli Alessandro
Published: December 2020

We propose a quantitative and systematic investigation of the differential pathlength factor (DPF) behavior for skeletal muscles and its dependence on different factors, such as the subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness (ATT), the variations of the tissue absorption (µa) and reduced scattering (µ′s) coefficients, and the source-detector distance. A time domain (TD) NIRS simulation study is performed in a two-layer geometry mimicking a human skeletal muscle with an overlying adipose tissue layer. The DPF decreases when µa increases, while it increases when µ′s increases. Moreover, a positive correlation between DPF and ATT is found. These results are supported by an in-vivo TD NIRS study on vastus lateralis and biceps brachii muscles of eleven subjects at rest, showing a high inter-subject and inter-muscle variability.

An optical platform is presented for examining intrinsic contrast detection strategies when imaging retinal structure usingex vivotissue. A custom microscope was developed that scans intact tissue and collects scattered light distribution at every image pixel, allowing digital masks to be applied after image collection. With this novel approach at measuring the spatial distribution of multiply scattered light, known and novel methods of detecting intrinsic cellular contrast can be explored, compared, and optimized for retinal structures of interest.
Analytical and experimental study on a bent abrupt taper
Authors: Ghasemi Pourya , Yam Scott S.-H.
Published: December 2020

This work presents an analytical coupling model for perturbed abrupt fiber tapers in single-mode fibers. In addition to LP0m
modes, the modeling predicts the presence of LP11 and LP12 modes for a bent taper. Our model also introduces a perturbation function that can match most cases of bending variations on a taper. We have shown that the tapering and bending effect can be treated separately within one abstract formulation. Agreement amongst the model predictions and experimental results support the viability of our method.
Improving characteristic band selection in leaf biochemical property estimation considering interrelations among biochemical parameters based on the PROSPECT-D model
Authors: Yang Jian , Yang Songxi , Zhang Yangyang , Shi Shuo , Du Lin
Published: December 2020

At present, many studies have mainly focused on analyzing the sensitivity and correlation to select characteristic bands. However, the interrelations between biochemical parameters were ignored, which may significantly influence the accuracy of biochemical concentration retrieval. The study aims to propose a new band selection method and to focus on the improving magnitude of characteristic band combination in leaf trait estimation when taking interrelations among different traits into consideration. Thus, in this study, firstly a ranking- and searching-based method considering the sensitivity and correlation between different wavelengths, which can enhance the reliability of spectral band selection, was proposed to select a subset of characteristic bands for leaf structure index and five leaf biochemical parameters (including chlorophyll (Chl), carotenoid (Car), leaf dry matter per area (LMA), equivalent water thickness (EWT), and anthocyanin (Anth)) based on the PROSPECT-D model. These characteristic bands were then validated based on a physical model for retrieving five biochemical properties using one synthetic dataset and six experimental datasets on leaf-level spectra. Secondly, and more innovatively, to explore interrelations among different biochemical parameters, trait-trait band combinations were adopted to retrieve and analyze how the five biochemical participants above affected each other. The results demonstrated that the combination of LMA (809 and 2278 nm), EWT (1386, 1414, and 1894 nm) is more beneficial in LMA and EWT estimation than respective retrieval: LMA-EWT band combination retrieval improves R2 by 0.5782 and 0.1824 in two datasets, respectively, compared with solely LMA characteristic bands retrieval. What’s more, the accuracy of Chl, EWT, Car, and Anth estimation can be also improved when considering interrelations between biochemical parameters. The experimental results show that the ranking- and searching-based method is an effective and efficient way to select a set of spectral bands related to the foliar information about plant traits, and trait-trait combinations, which focus on exploring latent interrelations between leaf traits, are useful in furthering improve retrieval accuracy. This research will provide notably advanced insight into identifying the spectral responses of biochemical traits in foliage and canopies.

Somatization disorders of affective and neurotic registers during the COVID-19 pandemic (analysis of clinical cases)
Authors: Dorozhenok I. Yu.
Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has added additional difficulties to the differential diagnostic evaluation of the status of patients with disorders of affective and neurotic registers. In such conditions, the works describing and analyzing specific clinical cases are of considerable interest. The paper describes three clinical cases of somatization mental disorders manifesting themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic, with an account of their history, somatic and mental status, psychopathological classification of the condition, and a rationale for the therapy regimen. Itching, dysuria, and hyperventilation without a somatic basis come to the fore in the clinical picture. These somatic symptoms developing in the pattern of mental disorders of the affective and neurotic registers substantially make the diagnosis, specialized care provision, and medical routing of patients difficult. An integrated psychosomatic approach to clinically evaluating psychopathological disorders that are partially realized in dermatological, urological, and pulmonological spheres, contributes to their adequate diagnosis and effective therapy.
Cognitive and emotional impairment in patients with migraine and signs of leukoencephalopathy during preventive therapy
Authors: Pozhidaev K. A. , Parfenov V. A.
Published: December 2020

Patients with migraine and signs of leukoencephalopathy are frequently found to have cognitive impairment (CI), the pathogenesis of which is not entirely clear. The dynamics of CI in these patients during preventive therapy has been little studied.

Patients and methods. A six-month follow-up study was conducted in 50 patients (8 men and 42 women; mean age, 41.9±11.9 years) with migraine (mainly chronic one) and signs of cerebral leukoencephalopathy according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A control group consisted of 40 healthy individuals (13 males and 27 females) aged 20 to 64 years (mean age, 42.6±12.0 years). Neuropsychological examinations (the 12-word recall test; the test of literal and categorical associations; the Benton visual retention test, the Munsterberg test; the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the trail making test; the forward and backward digit recall test; the digit-symbol coding test; and the Stroop color test) and studies of emotional disorders (the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D); the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Spielberger-Khanin Scale) were performed at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months of preventive therapy for migraine.

Results and discussion. The patients with migraine versus the control group were observed to have lower scores of the MoCA (p=0.004), the 12- word recall test (p=0.0003), and the tests of literal (p=0.001) and categorical (p=0.0002) associations. No significant relationship was found between the volume of MRI cerebral white matter lesions and the severity of CI. There was a moderate inverse correlation (correlation coefficient R=-0.41) between the number of headache (HA) days per month and the MoCA score (p<0.05). The patients with migraine were found to have the signs of depression on the Hospital Depression Scale (p=0.04), the BDI (p=0.003), and the CES-D Scale (p=0.0001) and increased anxiety on the HADS (p=0. 0001) and the Spielberger–Khanin Scale (p=0.0001). There was a significant association between the degree of depression and the MoCA score (p=0.007). During 6-month preventive therapy, there was a decline in the incidence of HA from 19.4±2.9 to 12.6±4.4 days per month (p<0.05), a significant reduction in the severity of emotional disorders, and an improvement in cognitive functions by most neuropsychological tests (the MoCA, the 12-word recall test, the Munsterberg test, and the trail making test Part B) compared to the baseline data.

Conclusion. During preventive treatment for migraine, there was a reduction in the frequency of HA attacks and in the severity of emotional and cognitive impairment.

The paper provides a review of the main pharmacotherapeutic approaches from the standpoint of the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) guidelines. When preparing this material, the authors have analyzed the publications available in the resources: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and еLIBRARY. The paper presents the main pathogenetic mechanisms of pain syndrome development in osteoarthritis (OA), including synovial inflammation and associated immune disorders. It considers the types of development of pain syndrome and the main prognostic outcomes according the mechanism of pain, providing a rationale for the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/or chondroprotectors (CPs). In accordance with the ESCEO guidelines, it is noted that when starting OA therapy, CPs should be considered as the first step (in their long-term prescription and pharmaceutical quality), then NSAIDs should be added (topically), then (if ineffective) orally, by excluding patients with hip OA. It is known that the intramuscular administration of CPs (chondroitin sulfate (CS) in particular) can increase their bioavailability. The use of glucosamine sulfate (GS) is recommended for patients over 60 years of age. According to the recommendations of the 2019 ESCEO experts, CS and GS should be used as a disease-modifying OA drug from the first step and at all subsequent stages.
