The results of the clinical approbation of Patient-specific therapy of bronchial asthma in children using the course method of application of the monoclonal antibodies (anti-IgE-therapy) by the Ministry of Health are summarized in order to assess the effect of this type of treatment on the disease exacerbation rate, including those associated with the seasonal acute respiratory infections. The conclusion was made regarding the high clinical efficiency in relation to all parameters studied and safety of this type of the treatment. It was determined that the monitoring of the level of specific IgE receptors on basophils using the cytoflowmetry method, which is concomitant to anti-IgE therapy, makes it possible to predict the efficiency and individual duration of anti-IgE therapy for uncontrolled atopic bronchial asthma in children.
Heterotaxy syndrome is a congenital malformation in which the internal organs of the chest and abdominal cavity have an abnormal location. People suffering from this syndrome have multiple complex defects in the heart, blood vessels, spleen, liver, lungs and other organs. Heterotaxy is a rare pathology that requires a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis. This article demonstrates a rare case of heterotaxy observed in the pulmonology clinic of the Veltischev Institute.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
