Abstract Objective: To investigate the metastatic tumor with tricuspid valve involvement, and to improve the understanding of the disease and the level of diagnosis and treatment. Method: This article mainly reports a case of a metastatic squamous carcinoma of cervix(SCC) with tricuspid valve involvement patient treated with surgical treatment and followed up one year after surgery . Result: The prognosis of the case was good after surgery.But The short-term effect of the patient was not ideal. Conclusion: Metastatic tumor of tricuspid valve is infrequent,which is difficult to diagnose and treat because of the lack of specific clinical manifestations.To achieve better therapeutic effect, the multi-mode treatment strategy should be considered.

Achalasia is a chronic neuromuscular disorder of esophagus with supposed autoimmunity, genetic disturbancies and viral infection. The disease is characterized by poor relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter and absent of body peristalsis. The inflammation, eosinophilic and lymphocytic infiltration may play role in loss of inhibitory ganglion in the myenteric plexus. High resolution manometry is a gold standard for diagnosis of achalasia, because it distinguish three types of disorder. The aim of treatment of achalasia is to reduce symptoms, such as dysphagia. The most effective modality of surgical treatment are Heller myotomy and peroral endoscopy myotomy. The pneumodilation is less preferable because of short-term effect and high rate of relapse. The relapse after surgical treatment can be present and correlates increase with the time after intervention

The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that elbow joint epicondylitis is relatively common among athletes engaged in tennis, golf and species associated with throwing and throwing. When choosing the treatment method, several factors are taken into account: degree of elbow joint dysfunction; character of change of muscles and tendons in the zone of forearm and hand, as well as possibility of continuation of sports career. As a rule, in case of athletes' lateral and medial epicondylitis the choice is made in favor of surgical treatment, after which the limb is rigidly fixed for 2-3 weeks. The elbow joint is extremely sensitive even to short-term immobilization, which can lead to high mobility. Therefore, in order to avoid the development of elbow joint compression, the early beginning of the course of postoperative recovery measures carried out at the immobilization stage is necessary. We tried to develop the content of the course of physical rehabilitation of 25-30 years old athletes who underwent surgical treatment of epicondylitis for periods of absolute and relative immobilization, and experimentally justify its effectiveness. To assess the effectiveness of the developed physical rehabilitation course, we used tests to determine the functional-motor state of the forearm, operated arm; compared the obtained initial and final data.

Introduction. Experimental induction of altered histology by chemical toxins is of particular importance if its outcome resembles histopathological phenomena. Hepatotoxic drugs and chemicals are agents that can be converted by the liver into various metabolites which consequently evoke toxic responses. Very often, these drugs are intentionally administered to resolve an illness unrelated to liver function. Because of hepatic detoxification, the resulting metabolites are suggested to be integrated into the macromolecular processes of liver function and cause an array of cellular and tissue alterations, such as increased cytoplasmic lysis, centrilobular and localized necroses, chronic inflammation and “foam cell” proliferation of the hepatic sinusoids (1-4).Most experimentally drug-induced toxicity studies have concentrated primarily on the hepatic response, frequently overlooking other physiological phenomena which are directly related to liver function. Categorically, many studies have been short-term effect investigations which seldom have followed up the complications to other tissues and organs when the liver has failed to function normally.

Background: The aim of this study is to report the short-term results of catheter-directed foam sclerotherapy (CDFS) in the treatment of axial saphenous vein incompetence. Patients and methods: Data of all patients undergoing CDFS for symptomatic primary incompetence of the great or small saphenous vein were prospectively collected. Treatment results in terms of occlusion rate and patients’ grade of satisfaction were analysed. All successfully treated patients underwent clinical and duplex follow-up examinations one year postoperatively. Results: Between September 2006 and September 2010, 357 limbs (337 patients) were treated with CDFS at our institution. Based on the CEAP classification, 64 were allocated to clinical class C3 , 128 to class C4, 102 to class C5 and 63 to class C6. Of the 188 patients who completed the one year follow up examination, 67 % had a complete and 14 % a near complete obliteration of the treated vessel. An ulcer-healing rate of 54 % was detected. 92 % of the patients were satisfied with the results of treatment. We registered six cases of thrombophlebitis and two cases of venous thromboembolism, all requiring treatment. Conclusions: The short-term results of CDFS in patients with axial vein incompetence are acceptable in terms of occlusion and complications rates.

A test was done to see if reading a newspaper which consistently overrepresents foreigners as criminals strengthens the automatic association between foreign country and criminal in memory (i.e., implicit cultivation). Further, an investigation was done to find out if reading articles from the same newspaper produces a short-term effect on the same measure and if (1) emotionalization of the newspaper texts, (2) emotional reactions of the reader (indicated by arousal), and (3) attributed text credibility moderate the short-term treatment effect. Eighty-five participants were assigned to one of three experimental conditions. Participants in the control group received short factual crime texts, where the nationality of the offender was not mentioned. Participants in the factual treatment group received the same texts, but the foreign nationality was mentioned. Participants in the emotionalized treatment group received emotionalized articles (i.e., texts which are high in vividness and frequency) covering the same crimes, with the foreign nationality mentioned. Supporting empirical evidence for implicit cultivation and a short-term effect was found. However, only emotionalized articles produced a short-term effect on the strength of the automatic association, indicating that newspaper texts must have a minimum of stimulus intensity to overcome an effect threshold. There were no moderating effects of arousal or credibility pertaining to the impact on the implicit measure. However, credibility moderated the short-term effect on a first-order judgment (i.e., estimated frequency of foreigners of all criminals). This indicates that a newspaper’s effect on the strength of automatic associations is relatively independent from processes of propositional reasoning.

In 2019, a textbook “Macroeconomics” was published in London, on the pages of which the authors presented a new monetary doctrine — Modern Monetary Theory, MMT, — an unorthodox concept based on the postulates of Post-Keynesianism, New Institutionalism, and the theory of Marxism. The attitude to this scientific concept in the scientific community is ambiguous. A smaller part of scientists actively support this doctrine, which is directly related to state monetary and fiscal stimulation of full employment, public debt servicing and economic growth. Others, the majority of economists, on the contrary, strongly criticize MMT, arguing that the new theory hides simple left-wing populism, designed for a temporary and short-term effect. This article considers the origins and the main provisions of MMT, its discussions with the mainstream, criticism of the basic tenets of MMT, and also assesses possible prospects for the development of MMT in the medium term.
