An urgent public health problem is the optimization of drug therapy in patients with chronic heart failure.A large number of works devoted to the treatment of chronic heart failure form the point of view that about the treatment of chronic heart failure «all is well known for a long time.» However, in real clinical practice, especially at the stage of primary health care, for various reasons, possible pitfalls, reefs and shallows are not taken into account, the underestimation of which can introduce certain difficulties and cause the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure to be ineffective.The review article examined a number of important aspects of the treatment of chronic heart failure, which, for various reasons, are underestimated in the supervision of patients. First of all, this refers to antagonists of mineralocorticoid receptors, in particular to spironolactone, and an inhibitor of If - channels of the sinus node ivabradine.The results of foreign and Russian studies, modern recommendations for the supervision of patients with chronic heart failure, indicate that the presence of spironolactone and ivabradine in the arsenal of a practical doctor allows optimizing drug therapy in patients with chronic heart failure and increasing its effectiveness.

Therapy Costs

Objectives.According to literature and experts, prostate cancer (PC), breast cancer (BC), colon cancer (CC), melanoma (MEL) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are the most high-cost oncological diseases. The aim of our study was to calculate the charges for each of these nosologies from the point of view of Moscow’s budget and compare them with each other.Methods.To assess the annual costs of drug therapy in Moscow in patients with PC, BC, CC, MEL and RCC there has been developed an analytical model in MS Excel software, considering the data of Cancer Register, as well as literature sources.Results.There has been estimated that if the costs of drug therapy for all five of assessed types of cancer are taken as 100 %, then the most costly is BC (41 % of costs), then MEL (20 %), RCC (15 %), CC (13 %) and PC (12 %). There has been also calculated, that if the number of patients with all five types of assessed cancer undergoing drug therapy, we would consider as 100 %, the highest percentage of them is in BC (50 % of all patients), then PC (36 %), CC (9 %), MEL (3 %) and RCC (1 %).Conclusions. The structure of drug therapy costs in patients with PC, BC, MEL, CC and RCC in Moscow shows that the most expensive is the treatment of patients with melanoma (for 3 % of patients Moscow City Health Department spends 20 % of charges) and RCC (1 % of patients spends 15 % of charges).

Point Of View

The use of nanotechnology has significantly increased in different fields of science, including the development of drug delivery systems. Currently, the most modern pharmaceutical nanocarriers, such as liposomes, micelles, nanoemulsions and polymeric nanoparticles, demonstrate extremely useful properties from the point of view of drug therapy. In this context, the development of nanocarriers for pulmonary application has been much debated by the scientific community in recent decades. Although research on the use of nanoparticles for pulmonary application are still in the initial phase, the studies conducted to date suggest that the development of drug delivery systems for systemic or local treatment of diseases that affect the respiratory system may be promising.

The Impact

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.
