The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of eradication therapy on the quality of life of patients with chronic erosive gastritis induced with Helicobacter pylori. The quality of life was assessed according to the GIQLI questionnaire before treatment during incomplete remission, remission, and during the year. It was found that the exacerbation of the disease significantly changes the level of quality of life of patients, and the complex treatment, eradication of Helicobacter pylori, which stopped the exacerbation of the disease, gradually increases and brings this indicator closer to the control group. The gastrointestinal quality of life index can be used as an additional criterion for diagnosing the stages of chronic erosive gastritis, for evaluating the effectiveness of therapy, determining the timing of treatment, rehabilitation and prevention in the dispensary management of patients at the therapeutic site.

Paraesophageal hernia repair (PEHR) is burdened by high recurrence rates that frequently lead to redo PEHR. Revisional surgery, because of higher complexity, higher risk of injury, and the intrinsic risk of recurrence, has increased likelihood of higher complication rates and decreased quality of life (QOL) postoperatively. We aimed to compare perioperative outcomes and QOL after revisional and primary PEHR. A retrospective review of all patients who underwent PEHR for a recurrent hernia between January 2011 and July 2016 was completed. These were matched with a contemporary cohort of patients who underwent primary PEHR by age, gender, and BMI. Perioperative measures were compared. The patients were invited to complete the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) to assess response to surgical intervention. There were 24 patients (group 1) who underwent revisional PEHR, and they were matched to 48 patients (group 2) who had a primary hernia repair. Thirteen patients in group 1 responded to the survey (54%), whereas 21 patients’ responses were received from group 2 (44%). Conversion rates, LOS, and mean Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index scores were significantly different between the two groups. Reoperative procedures for paraesophageal and hiatal hernias are burdened by higher conversion rates and length of stay, with similar overall complication rates. Patients who are undergoing repair of a recurrent hernia should be preoperatively counseled, and should have realistic expectations of their GI QOL after surgery.

IntroductionAccording to studies done in recent years regarding the treatment of patients with recurrent depressive disorder, a shift of interest from studies evaluating the effectiveness of therapy to the study of remission is seen. According to the literature, complete remission occurs in only 40–50% of patients, in other cases there is residual symptoms.AimsEvaluating the effectiveness of art therapy in treatment in patients with recurrent depressive disorder on the quality of remission.MethodsThe study involved 135 patients: 60 male and 75 female patients aged from 18 to 30 years old. The main group of patients apart the combined treatment also participated in group art therapy with the use of drawing techniques, while the control group – statutory standard therapy. We used clinical, psychopathological, psychodiagnostic and statistical methods.ResultsThe results of the effectiveness of art therapy in complex treatment in patients with recurrent depressive disorder is detected primarily in reducing of the level of anxiety at the early stages of treatment, as well as in reducing of the severity of anhedonia and improving the quality of life in remission period.ConclusionThese results support the use of art therapy in treatment in patients with recurrent depressive disorder during period of active treatment, and after achieving clinical remission contributes to achieving and maintaining high-quality and stable remission with full restoration of quality of life and social functioning.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

IntroductionAccording to studies done in recent years regarding the treatment of patients with melancholy in major depressive disorder, a shift of interest from studies evaluating the effectiveness of therapy to the study of remission is seen. Despite significant progress in the development of pharmacotherapy of depressive disorders, difficulty in achieving rapid reduction in depressive symptoms and stable remission in patients with melancholic depression necessitated the search for new approaches to the treatment of this pathology.AimsEvaluating the effectiveness of art therapy in treatment in patients with melancholy in major depressive disorder on the quality of remission.MethodsThe study involved 135 patients – 60 male and 75 female patients aged from 18 to 30 years old. The main group of patients apart the combined treatment also participated in group art therapy with the use of drawing techniques, while the control group – statutory standard therapy.ResultsThe results of the use of art therapy in complex treatment in patients with major depressive disorder is detected primarily in reducing of the level of anxiety at the early stages of treatment (60% of patients have noticed decreasing of melancholic state), as well as improving the quality of life in remission period.ConclusionThese results support the use of art therapy in treatment in patients with melancholy in major depressive disorder during period of active treatment, and after achieving clinical remission contributes to achieving and maintaining high-quality and stable remission with full restoration of quality of life and social functioning.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
