Beta adrenergic receptor blocking agentsare one of the multi-function classes of the drugs, prescribing to treatvarious cardio-vascular diseases, and at the same time, this class have been mostly discussing for several years due to the number of publications with the critical comments and rule this class of drugs out from priority groups for the treatment of arterial hypertension (AH), as, for example, it took place in the United Kingdom and the United States. However, national guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of arterial hypertension (AH), as well as the guidelines from the European Society of Hyper- tension keep the same position on the β-blockers, including them on equal ground with list of 5 major classes of antihypertensive drugs to treat AH.

This paper analyses all psychology journals included in the different categories of the JCR (SCI and SSCI) and SJR databases during the period 2014-2016 in order to identify the journals that are better positioned in the discipline, and the specialities and countries with the highest number of publications indexed in such databases. Method: The distribution of psychology journals by country, quartile, and subject category was studied in order to determine the total number and position of journals in each country, and to identify the countries with more journals of ‘excellence’ in psychology in the international scene. Results: The United States and the United Kingdom had the highest number of journals included in the databases, as well as the Netherlands, Germany, France and Spain. Only 11 countries have psychology journals in quartile 1 in JCR, and 14 in SJR databases. Conclusions: As a result of the application of new evaluation criteria in psychology research in Spain, the paper addresses the difficulties and consequences that some of these measures may have for the survival of psychology journals that do not have a position in quartile 1 or 2 in the databases used for the evaluation of professionals’ research in this discipline

The article discusses the problem of using ACE inhibitors and diuretics in arterial hypertension. Analysis of the position of doctors when prescribing ACE inhibitors and diuretics showed its compliance with current national guidelines for the treatment of hypertension. Physicians use more adequate criteria for antihypertensive drugs usage. There were no non-rational use of diuretics in combination, regardless of indications and contraindications. If there are indications for the use of a diuretic and a preparation of ACE inhibitors, you have to make greater use of fixed combinations of drugs. The article discusses the results of clinical efficacy studies of perindopril and indapamide in clinical practice. Noliprel® forte is an effective antihypertensive medication, not only reducing BP, but also organoprotective aim and good tolerability in wide range of patients with arterial hypertension.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged health systems globally and prompted the publication of several guidelines. The experiences of our international colleagues should be utilized to protect patients and healthcare workers. The primary aim of this article is to appraise national guidelines for the perioperative anesthetic management of patients with COVID-19 so that they can be enhanced for the management of any resurgence of the epidemic. PubMed and EMBASE databases were systematically searched for guidelines related to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, the World Federation Society of Anesthesiologists COVID-19 resource webpage was searched for national guidelines; the search was expanded to include countries with a high incidence of SARS-CoV. The guidelines were evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II tool. Guidelines from Australia, Canada, China, India, Italy, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America were evaluated. All the guidelines focused predominantly on intubation and infection control. The scope and purpose of guidelines from China were the most comprehensive. The UK and South Africa provided the best clarity. Editorial independence, the rigor of development, and applicability scored poorly. Heterogeneity and gaps pertaining to preoperative screening, anesthesia technique, subspecialty anesthesia, and the lack of auditing of guidelines were identified. Evidence supporting the recommendations was weak. Early guidelines for the anesthetic management of COVID-19 patients lacked quality and a robust reporting framework. As new evidence emerges, national guidelines should be updated to enhance rigor, clarity, and applicability.

The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among patients with cardio-vascular diseases is higher than in general population. At the same time the one of problems of internal medicine is a timely diagnostics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim of the work was the study of prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among patients with cardio-vascular diseases, especially arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease. Materials and methods. The retrospective analysis of statistical cards of patients, who were on stationary treatment at therapeutic departments, was carried out to estimate the prevalence of combination of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with arterial hypertension. The target examination of 136 patients was realized for revelation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. All patients were interrogated by the original modified questionnaire of assessment of short breath by medical research council (mMRC), test for assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CAT) and underwent spirography with bronchodilatation test. Results. It was established, that 10,2 % of patients had the combination of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with arterial hypertension. Among persons, who were on treatment as to the stable coronary heart disease and had not obstructive disease of respiratory organs in anamnesis, in 26,4 % the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was diagnosed for the first time.

Abstract Background Irrational use of antimicrobials is highly prevalent. It is a major driving factor for antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Research on irrational antimicrobial use is important for developing policies and regulations to combat and contain AMR. The present study aims to provide an overview of research publications on the irrational use of antimicrobials at the national and global levels. Methods Publications on irrational use of antimicrobials were extracted from Scopus using a wide range of relevant keywords for the study period from 1980 to 2020. Results In total, 656 publications on irrational use of antimicrobials were found. The bulk of publications in this field were about irrational use in humans. A limited number of publications were found on the irrational use of antimicrobials in the context of veterinary and environment. The number of publications, contributing countries, and the mean number of authors per article increased with time, most notably in the last decade. Authors from 105 different countries participated in publishing the retrieved articles with 22 (21.0%) participated in 10 or more publications. The United States led with 140 (21.6%) articles followed distantly by China (n = 49, 7.5%), India (n = 45, 6.9%), and the United Kingdom (n = 45, 6.9%). Countries in the South-East Asian region (n = 69, 10.5%) and the African region (n = 42, 6.4%) made the least contribution. The list of most frequent author keywords included “antimicrobial stewardship” and “community pharmacies”. The research themes focused on the hospital-based rational use of antimicrobials and the self-medication practices with antimicrobials in the community. In total, 420 different journals participated in publishing the retrieved documents. The Plos One journal (17, 2.6%) ranked first. The retrieved articles received an average of 15.6 citations per article and an h-index of 52. The most frequent antimicrobials encountered in the retrieved literature were penicillin, cephalosporin, and fluoroquinolones while the most frequently encountered pathogens were S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. Conclusion Research on the irrational use of antimicrobials is needed from all countries and regions to implement appropriate policies to contain the AMR. Research on irrational use of antimicrobials in the context of veterinary is needed.

Abstract Introduction The education of the patients with cardio-vascular diseases aims to modify the present risk factors and to increase the aware participation in the therapy. Arterial hypertension is one of the most common modifiable risk factors of cardio-vascular diseases. However, the knowledge of the self-care and adherence to therapeutic recommendations are highly disappointing. Understanding people's levels of knowledge on cardiovascular risk factors and its relation to level of adherence in antihypertensive treatment might contribute effectively to medical staff efforts to prevent, treat and control the disease. The aim of the study was analysis of the knowledge of the cardio-vascular risk factors and the adherence to therapeutic recommendations. Material and methods 101 patients (mean age 57.5±13.2) with arterial hypertension (stage I and II according to ESC) were enrolled into the study. The following questionnaires were used: Morisky's Self-Reported Measure of Medication Adherence (MMAS-8-Item), Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale (Hill-Bone Scale) and The Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Knowledge Level Scale (CARRF). Results 41% of the patients had worse knowledge of the cardio-vascular risk factors. In comparative analysis there were the significant differences in adherence to treatment with regards to the knowledge according to CRRRF questionnaire. The patients with better knowledge had the best adherence, which diminished along with worsening the knowledge (19.0±3.5 vs 18.3±3.7 vs 16.6±4.1). The increase of the knowledge by one point in scale CARRF-KL was accompanied by the increase of the adherence by 0.14 point (mean). The relations between knowledge and adherence was observed in terms of the treatment (8.3±2.0 vs 10.1±5.0 vs 8.9±3.5; p=0.003) and the global results of Hill-Bone questionnaire (19.5±4.4 vs 22.7±7.3). The relation between the knowledge and the adherence in terms of salt intake or control check-ups was not proved. In multiple regression analysis the knowledge was significant independent determinant, which influenced the adherence in terms of the treatment MMAS (b= 0.253; p=0.0004) Conclusions Adherence to therapeutic recommendations is related to the knowledge of the cardio-vascular risk factors, i.e. the better knowledge, the better adherence. The knowledge is the independent predictor of adherence to treatment in patients with arterial hypertension. The identification of knowledge deficits as a factor contributing to lack of adherence and poor hypertension control remains a key challenge for clinicians caring for patients with hypertension.
