Аналіз ефективності алергоімунотерапії у пацієнтів з алергією до пилку весняних дерев

Aim. The study of features of sensibilization to spring trees in patients of Lviv region and analysis of the effectiveness of allergoimmunotherapy by the extract of spring trees (Diater Laboratorios, Іспанія).Materials and methods of research. There were examined 286 patients with clinical symptoms of pollen allergy. Skin prick-tests (SPT) were realized by the extraction “Trees mixture” by Diater Laboratorios, Spain. The level of specific IgE to the components of allergens was determined ImmunoCAP method («Phadia AB», Sweden). Allergoimmune therapy (SLIT) was carried out by the vaccine - "Spring Trees" mixture (Alnus glutinosa = 25,00%; Corylus avellana = 25,00%; Betula verrucosa = 25,00%; Fraxinus excelsior = 25,00%).Results of research. 98,3% of patients had positive SPT to the extract “Herbs mixture”. Among them: 68,1% -sensibilized only by allergens of pollen of  Fagale trees; 2,8% - only by Oleaceae family allergens; 23,9% - polyvalent sensibilization by spring trees. ImmunoCAP research – true sensibilization by allergen of Betulacea pollen was 77%. After the first step of SLIT the improvement of the state was in 83,1%; after the second step – in 94,1% of patients.Conclusion: The sensibilization profile of patients from Lvyv region included allergens of Betulacea and Oleaceae trees pollen. The revealed high level of sensibilization by ash allergens allows to recommend SPT for ash for the routine practice. SLIT by the combined vaccine “Spring trees” (Diater, Spain) demonstrated safety and high effectivenessМетою дослідження було вивчення особливостей сенсибілізації до весняних дерев у пацієнтів Львівської області та аналіз ефективності алергоімунотерапії екстрактом весняних дерев. Згідно з результатами досліджень сенсибілізаційний профіль пацієнтів Львівського регіону складався з алергенів пилку дерев родин Betulacea і Oleaceae. SLIT комбінованою вакциною «Весняні дерева» (Діатер, Іспанія) продемонструвала безпеку та високу ефективніст

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has become an effective method in the treatment of adults and children with severe cardiac and pulmonary dysfunction that is resistant to conventional therapy. The aim of this article was to summarize an experience of ECMO usage for cardiac dysfunction, which develops in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. The study comprised a retrospective, single-center analysis of 23 patients with CHD (19 men and four women, average age 65.7 ± 12.3 years), who undertook the ECMO technique during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. A total of 13 (56.52%) patients died directly in the hospital, or 30 days after a discharge. Independent predictors of fatal outcomes were diabetes mellitus (odds ratio [OR] = 17.58; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 6.47–47.48; p = .00125), chronic renal failure (CRF) (OR = 20.81; 95% CI = 5.95–72.21; p = .00014), and damage to the right coronary artery (RCA) (OR = 25.51; 95% CI = 8.27–79.12; p = .00013). For deceased patients, the “no reflow” phenomenon was indicated in a larger percentage of cases (23.1% in the group of deceased, vs. 10% in the group of survivors). A routine connection to ECMO before the occurrence of cardiac events was significantly more often used in the group of survived patients (90% of cases) than in the deceased (p = .0000001). Diabetes mellitus, CRF, and damage to the RCA were independent predictors of mortality during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in patients with CHD. The routine use of ECMO in high-risk patients with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was a positive prognostic factor of patient survival
