The Healthcare Debate
Authors: Shaw Greg M. 
Published: October 2023

With the debate over health care consuming the nation, this timely book looks at the evolution of healthcare policy in the United States throughout its history.
Concise, authoritative, and unbiased, The Healthcare Debate provides meaningful context for thinking about one of the most controversial public policy issues the United States faces. It traces the evolution of the argument over the government's role in healthcare financing and delivery since the early 1800s, with an emphasis on the major reform efforts since the mid-20th century.
Following the complex dynamics of public health policy across U.S. history, The Healthcare Debate brings together a wide range of voices on the subject—presidents, policymakers, reformers, lobbyists, and everyday citizens. Each of its eight chronologically organized chapters focuses on the battle over government involvement in healthcare in a specific era, drawing on historic documents and the latest retrospective research. With President Obama making healthcare reform his top domestic priority in his first year in office, this remarkable new book could not be more timely.
The History of Iceland
Authors: Jóhannesson Guðni Thorlacius 
Published: October 2023

Based upon the most recent research, this thought-provoking, up-to-date survey of the history of Iceland provides unique insight into the challenges facing a small nation in a globalized world.
In more recent times, Iceland has faced other major challenges, most notably its economic fall in 2008 when a nationwide failure of its financial systems eroded it from its former position as one of the most developed and wealthiest countries in the world.
The History of Iceland describes how a small nation situated on a rocky and isolated island struggled for centuries to survive but then rose to great prosperity in the modern era. The work provides a comprehensive summary of Iceland's history that shares a tale of independence versus interdependenceâone that underscores how recent events have forced a people with great pride in their unique heritage to reconsider well-established notions about themselves as a nation.
Based on the most recent research, this work is the first comprehensive overview to cover in detail the collapse of Iceland's economy and its subsequent effect on its people. Organized into seven main sections that chronologically cover the history of Iceland from the island's settlement to the present day, the book concludes with a revealing discussion of how each period has been perceived by later generations of Icelanders.

Powell and Pressburger’s War
Authors: Colón Semenza Greg M. , Sullivan   Jr. Garrett A. 
Published: October 2023

A focused study on Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s cinematic contributions to the war effort, arguing for the centrality of propaganda to their work as film artists.
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger are widely hailed as two of the greatest filmmakers in British cinema history. The release of their first movie, The Spy in Black, barely preceded the beginning of World War Two, and a number of their early masterworks, including The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, A Canterbury Tale, and A Matter of Life and Death, were produced in the service of the war effort. And yet, scholars have neglected the extent to which these films and others, most made with help from the government’s Ministry of Information (MOI), self-consciously explore the relationship between art and propaganda. This book shows that Powell and Pressburger saw no contradiction between their aesthetic ambitions and their cinematic war work: propaganda imperatives were highly conducive to their objectives as both commercial cinema practitioners and artists.
Drawing on production materials from the archives of the British Film Institute, this book charts three phases in Powell and Pressburger’s wartime career: from first time collaborators who strive to reconcile popular cinematic forms with developing notions of what constitutes effective propaganda (Part One); to accomplished, and sometimes controversial, propagandists whose movies center upon Britain’s relations with its enemies and allies (Part Two); to filmmakers whose responsiveness to the propaganda requirements of the late war is matched by a focus, shared by the MOI, on what the post-war future would bring (Part Three).

Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that leads to gradual loss of cartilage and the formation of osteophytes, and consequently to joint instability, pain, and limited mobility. Treatment options include drug therapy, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes and surgery to correct or replace the joint. Intra-articular treatments, such as the injection of hydrogels modified for specific clinical tasks, are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide targeted and effective relief with minimal side effects.Purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of hydrogels for the intra-articular treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) based on a review of scientific literature.Materials and methods Literature sources for the evaluation of the use of hydrogels for the intraarticular treatment of OA were selected using the subject search queries “hydrogel” AND “intra? articular” AND “osteoarthritis” in the PubMed, ScienceDirect and SciSpace databases. The search period was limited to 2018–2023 years of publication. An initial selection of articles by search glories resulted in 1,576 articles; after analysis and application of exclusion criteria, 53 of the most relevant sources were included in the review.Results Two types of hydrogels for intra-articular use have been dentified: injectable and implantable. Injectable hydrogels are used to replace synovial fluid, deliver drugs or fill focal cartilage defects. Implantable hydrogels are used to replace or repair damaged cartilage in joints affected by OA, thereby restoring surface integrity, reducing pain and improving function.Discussion Hydrogels demonstrate promise as a potential material for the treatment of OA as they offer several advantages, such as biomimicry, biocompatibility, minimally invasive administration and the ability to deliver therapeutic agents directly to the affected joint. However, there are limitations: uncontrolled degradation, low durability and a high likelihood of negative local and systemic immune reactions.Conclusion Further research is needed to optimize the design and composition of hydrogels for clinical use, including the development of new compositions with programmable properties, studying long-term effects and comparing effectiveness with other OA treatment.

Authors: Danilova M. V. , Usoltseva E. N. 
Published: October 2023

IntroductionMetabolic syndrome is a complex of disorders including abdominal obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, and arterial hypertension. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the pineal hormone melatonin are of great importance for preserving body homeostasis, and potentially melatonin can be a a safe and effective agent in the complex treatment of menopausal women with metabolic syndrome.The aim of the studyis to determine the prospects of using the epiphysis hormone melatonin in the complex treatment of menopausal metabolic syndrome based on the analysis of scientific publications.Material and methodsThe review includes data from studies on the effect of melatonin (MT) on the components of metabolic syndrome in periand postmenopausal women. Sources were searched for the period 2016–2023 in the international databases Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and the Russian scientific electronic library eLibrary by search words and phrases: melatonin, menopause, perimenopause, metabolic syndrome, obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension.Results and DiscussionThe analysis of the literature data showed a number of advantages of the effect of exogenous MT preparations on individual components of metabolic syndrome, but some results were contradictory. Scientific evidence of MT influence on anthropometric indices, markers of glucose homeostasis, hemodynamic parameters and signs of body's inflammatory response, as well as multidirectional effects on lipid profile was found.ConclusionGiven the multifunctionality and safety of exogenous MT preparations, its use in the complex therapy of menopausal metabolic syndrome should be considered.

Introduction Helicobacter pylori has the most pronounced oncogenic potential among known biological carcinogens of humans. Helicobacter positivity leads to the development of chronic gastritis and with prolonged persistence of infection in the gastric mucosa it is associated with the development of atrophic gastritis and adenocarcinoma of the stomach. According to international data, the prevalence of infection in Russia corresponds to the level of countries with low socio-economic status. The domestic literature contains data for a limited number of reggions, such as North-West Russia, Siberia and the Far East.The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and chronic atrophic gastritis among patients residing in the Ural Federal District and to identify risk factors for these diseases using modern diagnostic methods used in clinical practice.Materials and methods Observational non-interventional anonymous cross-sectional study of 11,721 primary patients among those tested for H. pylori infection residing in the Ural Federal District. 13C-urease breath test was performed in 10,882 patients, FGDS with gastric mucosal biopsy according to OLGA and histological evaluation of biopsy specimens – in 839 patients.Results The prevalence of H. pylori infection among primary care patients by 13C-UT was 46.9 % and that of chronic atrophic gastritis by histological evaluation of a biopsy specimen was 24.9 %. The risk of chronic atrophic gastritis was higher in those infected with H. pylori (OR 1.71; 95 % CI: 1.24–2.37, p = 0.002) and in patients over 60 years old.Discussion The resulting prevalence of H. pylori infection in the Ural Federal District is below the levels reported in the current literary for Russia. The increasing prevalence of infection with age confirms the principle that the prevalence of infection depends on changing socio-economic conditions in a generation. The observed prevalence of chronic atrophic gastritis is comparable with the national data. The risk of gastric mucosal atrophy increases with age and in the presence of H. pylori infection, which prompts active screening of gastropathology in this category of individuals.Conclusion The prevalence of H. pylori infection and atrophic gastritis among primary patients, as determined by reference diagnostics, was 46.9 % and 24.9 %, respectively.

Introduction Malignant neoplasms of the liver are one of the most common pathologies in oncology. Chemoembolization of the hepatic artery is currently widely used in the treatment of unresectable liver tumors. Transradial vascular access is actively used in interventional cardiology due to fewer local vascular complications. At the same time, until recently, chemoembolization of the hepatic artery was more often performed via transfemoral vascular access.The aim of the work is a comparative analysis of the results of transradial and transfemoral vascular accesses for the purpose of hepatic artery chemoembolization.Material and methods The data of 69 patients who underwent 212 hepatic artery chemoembolization procedures for malignant neoplasms in the liver were analyzed. The group of transradial access included 107 (50.5 %) interventions, the group of transfemoral access – 105 (49.5 %). The groups were comparable in terms of the main initial clinical and anamnestic data.Results Chemoembolization of the hepatic artery was successfully performed in 98.1 % in the transradial access group and 99 % in the transfemoral access group (p = 1.0). The total duration of intervention, time spent on catheterization of the target artery and radiation exposure were significantly shorter in the transradial access group than in the opposite group. The incidence of local vascular complications was not significantly different between the groups: 11 (10.3 %) and 12 (11.4 %) cases, respectively (p = 0.79). According to the results of patient interviews, the use of transradial access was accompanied by significantly less discomfort associated with the procedure.Discussion Traditionally, embolization of peripheral arteries is performed via transfemoral access, and the total incidence of local vascular complications (large subcutaneous hematomas, false aneurysms, arterovenous fistulas, etc.) is relatively high. According to the results of studies, it is possible to reduce the incidence of local vascular complications without increasing the cost of the procedure by performing the same interventions using transradial access.Conclusion Transradial vascular access has a number of significant advantages over transfemoral access, and therefore can be recommended as a priority for performing hepatic artery chemoembolization.

Introduction Among the diseases of urgent pathology the leading place belongs to acute pancreatitis, which is second only to acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis. Moreover, a significant share is occupied by mild forms, which account for 85%. In the Clinical Recommendations for Acute pancreatitis in the section “Prevention and dispensary monitoring”, the authors recommend regular dispensary monitoring by a gastroenterologist and a surgeon. However, this nosology according to the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation from 03.15.2022 No 168N is not included in the dispensary observation. In this regard, patients remain without proper attention of doctors when they are discharged from hospitals, or when they refuse hospitalization after examination in the emergency room.The aim of the work – is to present the result of applying the diagnostic algorithm of differential diagnosis of diseases and detection of gastrointestinal tract pathology on the clinical example of a patient with recurrent abdominal pain syndrome.Materials and methods The analysis of medical records of a 59-year-old patient who repeatedly applied to the network of polyclinics and hospitals providing emergency specialized medical care for recurrent abdominal syndrome was carried out.Results and discussion In this clinical observation of recurrent abdominal syndrome in a patient, the biliary mask of acute pancreatitis was revealed. In outpatient conditions using the developed diagnostic algorithm, choledocholithiasis, juxtapapillary diverticulum of the duodenum and hernia of the esophageal aperture of the diaphragm were detected. The diagnosis made it possible to perform the treatment competently and lead to the patient's recovery. Thanks to the dispensary observation and additional methods of investigation according to the developed algorithm, the following were detected: juxtapapillary diverticulum of the duodenum, which may not be visualized at video esophagogastroduodenoscopy with direct optics, as well as ductal stones, which are not always visualized at transabdominal ultrasound and are detected at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic ultrasonography. Difficulties may arise in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases due to the variability of the clinical course and polymorphism of symptoms in this category of patients. Such a course of diseases causes difficulties at the stage of patients' admission to the emergency room of clinics, can lead to diagnostic errors that lead to incorrect treatment tactics.Conclusion The application of an algorithm based on the assessment of clinical criteria in conjunction with instrumental imaging methods and laboratory tests allowed to optimize the diagnostic process and facilitated the choice of optimal therapy and surgical tactics for the treatment of the patient with recurrent abdominal pain syndrome.
