Influence of cytotoxic lymphocytes on the progression of pigmented papillary-nodular synovitis

There are contrary opinions about the nature of pigmented papillary-nodular synovitis (PPNS) in the scientific literature. Despite the fact that some authors express the opinion that PPNS is an inflammatory process, most authors classify this disease as a neoplasia with aggressive destructive local behavior and a high recurrence rate of 50-70% [3, 8, 10]. It remains undisputed that PPNS is accompanied by a constant uncontrolled proliferation of synovial cells; at the same time, the mechanisms that cause this proliferation, as before, are still unknown [9]. The aim of the work is to study the effect of cytotoxic lymphocytes (natural killers) on the progression of pigmented papillary-nodular synovitis.

Improvement of treatment methods of malignant neoplasms of the larynx

Malignant neoplasms of the larynx account for 1–5% of all malignant neoplasms, and 50–60% among malignant neoplasms of the head and neck [1, 7]. The peculiarity of the treatment of malignant neoplasms of the larynx (MNL) is not only in curing the patient from a malignant neoplasm, but also in restoring the respiratory, vocal and protective functions of the larynx. The aim of the work is to evaluate the results and methods of treatment of malignant neoplasms of the larynx.

Modern treatment approaches of patients with long-term non-healing burn wounds

Long-term non-healing wounds (burns, ulcers) remain one of the significant problems of modern surgery and combustiology in almost all countries of the world [5]. In practice, a chronic wound is considered to exist for more than 4 weeks without signs of active healing (the exception is extensive wound defects with signs of active repair) [6]. The aim of the work is to analyze the results obtained with the use of modern dressings in the treatment of long-term non-healing burn wounds.

Selection and use of coronary shunts in cardiovascular surgery

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a widely recognized and highly effective treatment for coronary heart disease. The main task of surgical treatment is to create reliable, high-quality, and most importantly, durable ways to bypass the stenotic area or occlusion of the coronary artery. Therefore, the optimal choice of conduit is one of the key points of the operation, which affects the duration and quality of the patient's future life. Currently, there is experience in the use of synthetic prostheses, however, in the vast majority of cases, the patient's own vessels are used as a bypass material: the great and small saphenous veins, the radial and ulnar arteries, the internal mammary arteries, the gastroepiploic and epigastric arteries. Regarding the last two, there is not much information due to the fact that they are used infrequently, mainly due to the failure of the remaining vessels as a “forced shunt” [3].

Modern view on the mechanisms of arrhythmias

According to the World Health Organization, an arrhythmia is any heart rhythm that differs from normal sinus rhythm. Arrhythmias are associated with many pathogenetic mechanisms, including impaired automatism, excitability, contractility, refractoriness, conduction, and aberration (possibility of passing an impulse along additional pathways) of the heart [2, 4, 12].
