Comparative Analysis of Approaches and Treatment Results of Patients with Early and Nonearly Rheumatoid Arthritis

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of different therapy regimens impact on the effectiveness of treatment of patients with early and late rheumatoid arthritis in steady-state. Data on ongoing basis anti-inflammatory therapy of rheumatoid arthritis and the treatment of associated conditions were obtained by continuous copying from case histories of hospital department patients. The observations lasted 12 months. The activity of rheumatoid arthritis before and after the treatment was determined by the DAS 28 (Disease Activity Score) index. The treatment results were evaluated as per the laboratory research and the DAS 28 index, including the counting of painful and swollen joints, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and health assessment of the patient on a visual analogue scale

Strong and superstrong pulsed magnetic fields generation

Strong pulsed magnetic fields are important for several fields in physics and engineering, such as power generation and accelerator facilities. Basic aspects of the generation of strong and superstrong pulsed magnetic fields technique are given, including the physics and hydrodynamics of the conductors interacting with the field as well as an account of the significant progress in generation of strong magnetic fields using the magnetic accumulation technique. Results of computer simulations as well as a survey of available field technology are completing the volume.Strong pulsed magnetic fields are important for several fields in physics and engineering, such as power generation and accelerator facilities.

Two cases synchronous atypical parathyroid adenomas and papillary thyroid carcinoma

Most clinicians are well aware of the coexistence of medullary thyroid cancer and hyperparathyroidism in hereditary and sporadic multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes. Тhe reported incidence of nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is only approximately 3%. Papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) is a malignant epithelial tumour. PTC represent up to 87% of all thyroid carcinomas. Atypical parathyroid adenoma (APA) are a subset of parathyroid neoplasms that exhibit some of the features of parathyroid carcinoma but lack unequivocal invasive growth. APA represents about 0.54% of cases of PHPT. As a group, they may be considered tumors of uncertain malignant potential. The clinical importance, and long-term outcomes as well as appropriate operative management and surveillance are not well defined for APA probably due to the overall low prevalence as well as the lack of a standard definition of APA. We report two cases of a 63-year-old woman and 57-year-old man with a synchronous atypical parathyroid adenoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma. One of this patients had a classic symptoms of pHPT, including severe metabolic bone disease and renal disease, but another didnt have. The mean preoperative calcium was 3,48 and 4,1 (range 2.122.6) mmol/l and a mean parathyroid hormone (PTH) of 1300 and 1533 (range 1565) pg/ml, respectively. Thyroid ultrasound didnt show a nodule with features of the thyroid carcinoma in both cases. The thyroid cancer was suspected after intraoperative revision. The patients underwent a total thyroidectomy and surgical excision of the parathyroid adenoma. Surgical pathology showed papillary microcarcinoma in both cases (in the first unilateral, in the second bilateral) and APA. Awareness of this condition will enable clinicians to evaluate for possible thyroid pathology in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Both of these endocrine conditions could then be managed with a single surgery involving concomitant resection of the thyroid and parathyroid glands
