A review of modern literature on the diagnostic algorithm of bronchial asthma and a detailed examination of all its stages is presented. It is known that bronchial asthma is the most common form of the disease, prone to progression to more severe forms, but fraught with the development of exacerbations, even fatal. Often, general practitioners perceive bronchial asthma as a manageable, understandable disease, for the successful treatment of which it is enough to identify and isolate the allergen, as well as prescribe therapy. Understanding the mechanisms of development of bronchial asthma helps to increase the effectiveness of the diagnosis and treatment of asthma, preferably taking into account the phenotype. Determining the phenotypic characteristics of bronchial asthma is a requirement of the time, because personalized medicine does not yet require the creation of a separate drug, diagnostic or prophylactic method for each individual patient, but it requires the selection of patients (allocation of subpopulations / clusters / phenotypes of bronchial asthma) that are most responsive to a particular drug, a method for diagnosing or preventing a disease. The essence of phenotyping in medicine is the optimization of diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The central and most studied links of the pathogenetic mechanism and its variants of development are described, phenotypes of bronchial asthma are discussed, as well as options for basic and targeted therapy of bronchial asthma. The necessity of studying personalized therapy and flexible dosing of drugs used in the treatment of bronchial asthma is emphasized.

The paper presents the comparative use of algorithms to identify the causes of deficiency of coagulation factors in patients with a prolonged APTT, including the definition of the index of circulating anticoagulant (ICA) and the factor-parallelism (FP) method. The results obtained in children with hereditary hemophilia and adults with acquired hemophilia. It is shown that ICA is an effective method for pre-selection of patients with hereditary hemophilia if you suspect an inhibitor to subsequent confirmation test Bethesda. The method the FP has just proved itself in the diagnosis of acquired forms of hemophilia. The use of FP method is most expedient at the stage of screening to identify inhibitors in the laboratory. Method FP loses diagnostic value if the results of the activity factor in all dilutions is close to zero, which is characteristic for individual variants of hereditary hemophilia.

Introduction: The average incidence of perioperative stroke during major non-cardiac surgery is less than 1%, suggesting that it is rarely a major problem for the vast majority of patients. Methods: In our paper we present a 46-year-old patient undergoing acute right hemicolectomy who developed right-sided hemiparesis in the perioperative setting. Immediate CTAg examination showed an ischemic stroke in the left hemisphere as a result of left internal carotid thrombosis. A surgical procedure to recanalize the left carotid artery was performed 14 hours from the onset of neurological symptomatology and the neurological deficit gradually recovered fully. Conclusion: Our case report supports studies showing that a thorough diagnostic assessment allows the selection of patients who may benefit from urgent revascularization of acute internal carotid occlusion during the phase of acute brain ischemia.
