A comprehensive clinical and laboratory analysis of the use of the phytoremedy «Parodontocide» in the complex treatment of chronic periodontitis was carried out. «Parodontocide» contains sage oil, peppermint oil, sage oil, clove oil, allantoin, phenyl salicylate and it demonstrates a pronounced anti-inflammatory and repairing effect. It was well tolerated by the majority of patients, practically causing no adverse reactions and complications in comparison with other medications. That's precisely why «Parodontocide» can be used in a comprehensive treatment program for mild chronic periodontitis and in patients with intolerance to synthetic antiseptics as a part of monotherapy.

Introduction: In recent decades, hemophilia A treatment has been focused on body weight, without taking pharmacokinetic parameters into account. Previous research has shown that the individual pharmacokinetic response is more effective in predicting the required dose of clotting factor. We want to evaluate the impact on reducing the frequency of bleeding in patients treated with recombinant factor VIII, based on a personalized comprehensive management program.   Objective: Our aim was to compare the results of a standard comprehensive treatment program (stage I) vs. a personalized pharmacokinetic - based treatment program (stage II) in a cohort of 60 patients with severe hemophilia without inhibitors.   Results:The median age was 15.5 years (3 - 68). The ABR was 1.03 (62 episodes) in the first stage and 0.58 (35 episodes) in the second one, (p = 0.004). By type of bleeding, the impact of the intervention differs significantly in spontaneous bleeding (p = 0.007) and a 73% reduction in the first stage. There were no significant differences in traumatic bleeding.   Conclusions: The use of pharmacokinetics for personalized dosing of patients with severe hemophilia A, significantly reduces ABR and spontaneous bleeding, improving the patient's quality of life and costs for the health system.

Abstract Background: The Philippines is one of the most severely affected countries by the methamphetamine epidemic in the world. The government launched a war on drugs policy to counter the situation in the country. However, brutality against drug users was criticized internationally. Thus, we have developed a comprehensive treatment program for methamphetamine users based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and are going to evaluate its effectiveness. If its effectiveness is demonstrated, it will be helpful to implement much more effective and humane approaches to drug issues in the Philippines.Methods: Methamphetamine users who are admitted to government-run rehabilitation facilities are recruited and are randomly assigned either to the CBT-based treatment program or existing therapeutic community (TC)-based treatment. The CBT treatment program was developed based on the Matrix model considering the cultural and social factors in the Philippines. After 6-months treatment, participants will be followed up for 3 months and drug use (urine testing) and other psychological variables including craving, coping skills, and well-being will be compared.Ethics and dissemination Informed consent will be obtained from study participants prior to study participation. Ethical approval was obtained from research ethics review boards in both countries. This study was approved by Single Joint Research Ethics Board of the Department of Health, Republic of the Philippines (SJREB-2019-27) and the University of Tsukuba Faculty of Human Sciences Ethics Committee (T2019-70). 1). Potential participants will be given a summary of the study and a consent form. The consent form is signed and dated by participants prior to their study participation. Findings of this study will be submitted for publication in international scientific peer-reviewed journals and be presented at academic conferences.Trial registration number: UMIN Clinical Trials Registry JPRN-UMIN000038597.

This study examined the effects of a drug treatment program in Chicago's Cook County Jail (CCJ). The program, known as the Integrated Multiphase Program of Assessment and Comprehensive Treatment (IMPACT), involves three agencies and is based on the general model of a modified therapeutic community. IMPACT significantly reduced rearrest rates and delayed time-to-rearrest for program participants. Outcomes improved as length of stay in the program increased up to 150 days, after which there were no further reductions in recidivism. In addition, community treatment significantly reduced rearrest rates even for inmates who stayed an optimal length of time in the program.

Rapid smoking is generally considered to be the most effective single treatment strategy for the behavioral control of smoking. Unfortunately, its safety has recently been questioned. A new procedure termed focused smoking poses absolutely no health hazard. Six month follow-up data collected from two groups of subjects exposed to a comprehensive treatment program which included focused smoking are noteworthy in their own right (55.6% abstentions) and just as promising as earlier versions of the program which included rapid smoking as a treatment component.

One hundred fifteen patients with signs and symptoms of Mortons' interdigital neuroma were studied in an attempt to evaluate the efficacy of a staged treatment program. The first stage consisted of patient education, footwear modifications, and metatarsal head relief. The second stage consisted of a steroid/local anesthetic injection into the affected interspace. The third stage was surgical excision of the inflamed interdigital nerve. Overall, 97 of 115 patients (85%) believed that they had improved with the treatment program. Twenty-four patients (21%) eventually required surgical excision of the nerve and 23 of 24 patients (96%) had satisfactory results. The results of the staged treatment protocol were very satisfactory and patient satisfaction was high.

In the southwest mountains, a lot of dangerous rock bands are widely distributed, whose formation conditions are complex, which are diverse, specially located and dangerous. How to reinforce such complex unstable rock band? In this paper, the treatment of typical dangerous rock band is taken as an example, the classification investigation and one by one evaluation is performed first, and then each block composing the complex and dangerous rock band is analyzed and calculated. According to the site conditions and calculated results of each block composing the dangerous rock, using clearing risk - repairing - reinforcement- landscaping and other technology portfolio approach, forming a comprehensive treatment program to conduct a thorough treatment for each dangerous rock, it is proved that such a reinforcement technique has good effects with the management of dangerous rock.
