Authors: Konopkina L.І. , Rybalka К.V. 
Published: December 2023

Objective — to determine the imaging changes in community-acquired pneumonia in different severity of COVID-19; to define the diagnostic significance of CT, LUS, establish the correspondence of CT- and LUS-patterns.
Materials and methods. We examined 22 patients (pts) (men — 11 (50.0 %), women — 11 (50.0 %), mean age — 67.0 (54.0; 74.0) years) with COVID-19 pneumonia. Clinical examination — general investigation, assessment of dyspnea severity (mMRC), pulse oximetry. The spread of lung lesions was determined by CT and LUS. Changes were described as CT- and LUS-patterns. Non-parametric.
Results and discussion. In severe COVID-19 cases (end of the 1st week of illness), the extent of lung lesions aligned with CT-1, revealing bilateral subpleural «ground glass» opacities. Bilateral changes were observed in lung ultrasound (LUS), with a Lung Ultrasound Score (LUSS) of 2—4 points. The CT pattern of «ground glass» corresponded to LUS patterns indicating mild to moderate interstitial changes (IC).By the 2nd and 3rd weeks, the area of lung lesions corresponded to CT-1 and 2, and the CT pattern of «ground glass» became diffuse and bilateral. Bilateral LUS changes were noted, with LUSS ranging from 4 to 18 points. The CT pattern of «ground glass» aligned with LUS patterns indicating mild to moderate IC, pleural thickening, and the absence of A-lines. The CT pattern of consolidation corresponded to a similar LUS pattern.In patients with a critical course during the 2nd and 3rd weeks, the lesion area extended to 60–90 %. Bilateral LUS changes persisted, with LUSS ranging from 16 to 22 points. There was a significant correlation between the area of lung lesions observed on CT and LUS (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions. In the 1st week of illness, verification of severe COVID-19 should be grounded in the presence of severe dyspnea and decreased saturation. During the 2nd and 3rd weeks, verification can be based on decreased saturation and the extent of lung lesions as assessed by CT and lung ultrasound (LUS). In critical patients, the area of lung lesions ranged from 60 to 90 % on CT and/or exceeded 15 points on the LUSS. The CT pattern of «ground glass» corresponded to interstitial changes (IC), pleural thickening, and the absence of A-lines on LUS. Similarly, the CT pattern of consolidation corresponded to a consolidation pattern on LUS.
Malankara Church of India: Questions of Jurisdictions, Theology and Worship
Authors: Борисов Павел Геннадьевич 
Published: December 2023

Цель исследования — проанализировать особенности богослужения и богословской мысли, а также юрисдикционную подчинённость и внутреннюю иерархию Маланкарской Церкви Индии. Для этого автор применяет аксиоматический и индуктивный методы. Вопросы богослужения и богословской мысли Маланкарской Церкви Индии представляют существенный исследовательский интерес в свете собственных национальных особенностей и исторической ретроспективы. Маланкарская Церковь Индии — уникальный образец самобытной Церкви, сохранившей верность христианской традиции и экклезиологию. Территориальная отдалённость Маланкарской Церкви от других древних Церквей Востока и других цивилизаций позволила ей пройти через столетия христианской, мировой и индийской истории в практически неизменном виде, сохранить аутентичность с элементами национального колорита, который отразился в богослужении и богословской мысли. Юрисдикция Маланкарской Церкви — классический пример полной автономии и независимости, которую с трудом смогли затронуть даже португальская колонизация и приход британцев в Индию.
The objectives of the study are to analyze the features of worship and theological thought, as well as the jurisdictional subordination and internal hierarchy of the Malankara Church of India. The object of the study is the liturgical rite, theological heritage and the organizational structure of the Malankara Church of India. To do this, the author uses axiomatic and inductive methods. Questions of worship and theological thought of the Malankara Church of India are of significant research interest in the light of their own national characteristics and historical retrospective. The Malankara Church of India is a unique example of an original Church that has remained faithful to the Christian tradition and ecclesiology. The territorial remoteness of the Malankara Church from other ancient Churches of the East and other civilizations allowed it to pass through the centuries of Christian, world and Indian history in an almost unchanged form, to preserve its authenticity with elements of national color, which was reflected in worship and theological thought. The jurisdiction of the Malankara Church is a classic example of complete autonomy and independence, which even the Portuguese colonization and the coming of the British to India could hardly touch.
Some Unusual Exegetical Methods of Ambrosiaster in the Commentary on the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Romans
Authors: Лысевич Андрей 
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена исследованию экзегетического метода Амвросиаста. Показано, что несмотря на в целом буквальный экзегетический стиль толкователя, обусловленный стремлением объяснить автора через самого автора, Амвросиаст иногда пользуется типологическим и аллегорическим методами. В статье приводятся примеры таких толкований, встречающихся в «Комментарии на Послание апостола Павла к Римлянам». Обсуждаются мотивы, побуждающие экзегета к применению не характерных для него методов. Рассматривается своеобразный приём Амвросиаста, который может быть назван «номинальным герменевтическим правилом», согласно которому комментируемый отрывок Священного Писания толкуется в связи с употребляемым в нём Именем Божиим, Которое принимается за указание на То или Иное Лицо Святой Троицы.
The article is devoted to the study of the exegetical method of Ambrosiaster. It is shown that despite the generally literal exegetical style of the interpreter, characterized by the desire to explain the author through the author himself, in rare cases Ambrosiaster uses typological and allegorical methods. The article provides examples of such interpretations found in the Commentary on the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Romans. The motives that prompt the exegete to use methods that are not typical for themselves are condemned. A peculiar technique of Ambrosiastes is discussed, which can be called a «nominal hermeneutic rule», according to which the commented passage of Holy Scripture is interpreted in connection with the Name of God used in it, which is taken as an indication of One or Another Person of the Holy Trinity.

Русская и Элладская Православные Церкви в своих разносторонних контактах демонстрировали принадлежность к одной семье Поместных Церквей не благодаря, а скорее вопреки политической атмосфере, определявшей отношения Советского Союза и Греции. Общая вера, опора на традицию помогали двум Церквам развивать сотрудничество, которое служило духовному взаимообогащению. Настоящая статья призвана помочь сформировать у читателей представление о содержании и характере основных направлений двусторонних церковных связей, познакомить с усилиями на этом направлении Отдела внешних церковных сношений, возглавляемого одним из наиболее ярких иерархов Русской Православной Церкви второй половины XX в. митрополитом Никодимом (Ротовым).
The Russian Orthodox Church and the Church of Greece during their diverse contacts demonstrated themselves as part of the same family of Local Orhodox Churches not because of, but rather in spite of the political atmosphere that determined the relations between the Soviet Union and Greece. Common faith, reliance on tradition helped the two Churches to develop cooperation, which served spiritual mutual enrichment. The main purpose of this article is to help readers to form an idea about the content and nature of the main directions of bilateral church relations, to acquaint them with the efforts in this direction of the Department for External Church Relations, headed by one of the most prominent hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church of the second half of the XX century, Metropolitan Nikodim (Rotov).

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer is the tenth leading cause of cancer death in the United States (US). Advances in diagnosis, imaging, and treatments have led to improvements in bladder cancer management. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate longitudinal bladder cancer mortality trends from 1999–2020 in the US by gender, race, ethnicity, age, geographic region, and urbanization category. METHODS: Age-adjusted bladder cancer death and incidence rates of individuals in the US of all ages between 1999–2020 were obtained using the CDC WONDER and NAACCR databases. Trends and average annual percent changes (AAPC) in age-adjusted Bladder Cancer-Specific Mortality (BCSM) and incidence rates were estimated. Data were analyzed from May 2023 to October 2023. RESULTS: From 1999–2020, overall BCSM decreased by 0.4% annually, with a dramatic decrease in deaths between 2015–2020 (AAPC: –2.0% [95% CI: –2.6,–1.3]). However, BCSM rates and metastatic malignant bladder cancer incidence rates from 1999–2020 increased for individuals≥85 years old (AAPC for BCSM: 0.8% [95% CI:0.5,1.1]; AAPC for metastatic malignant incidence: 2.5% [95% CI: 2.0,2.9]). Increases in BCSM were found for certain years in the South, in rural areas, and for Non-Hispanic White and Asian or Pacific Islander individuals. CONCLUSIONS: Overall mortality from bladder cancer has been decreasing in the US over two decades. Upon disaggregation, increasing trends were found for BCSM and for metastatic malignant bladder cancer incidence for individuals≥85 years old from 1999–2020. Further evaluation of these trends is essential to understand how to target specific populations to improve patient outcomes.
