SummaryThe article is dedicated to the current state and prospects of cell technologies in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis. The material is based on the analysis of clinical trials on this topic submitted to international registry СlinicalTrials.gov. It has been founded 5 clinical trials relevant to the theme. Only one of these trials was completed with the results pub-lished. It has been stated that the use of cell technologies for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis is still in the stage of a pilot clinical experiment. Thus, it can not yet be the subject of any translation into common clinical practice. At the same time, there is a reason to expect in the upcoming years a serious progress in this direction. This is indicated by the fact that, as of March 1, 2020, the СlinicalTrials.govregistry lists 4 active clinical trials in which the usage of cell technologies in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis is tested. Some of these trials have been already recruiting patients or are ready to begin the recruitment.

In October 1985, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new indication of aspirin for the secondary prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and death in patients with MI or unstable angina. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of this drug, especially when treatment is begun soon after the initial event. The antiplatelet actions of aspirin seem to be the most plausible explanation for its efficacy in reducing mortality and the rate of reinfarction. A single daily 325-mg tablet is effective and produces side-effect incidences of only zero to two percent above those produced by placebo. This article assesses the current state of knowledge regarding the value of aspirin therapy in survivors of acute MI and the implications for clinical practice.

Hypertension is the most important of the prevalent and modifiable risk factors for stroke. Based on evidence, blood pressure (BP) lowering is recommended in guidelines for the prevention of stroke. However, there are still some uncertainties in the guidelines for controlling BP and preventing stroke in patients with previous cerebrovascular events, such as the goal BP, who to treat and which class of BP-lowering drugs to use. This article discusses these questions by reviewing guidelines and corresponding clinical trials, with the aim of reducing the gap between guidelines and clinical practice.

The book under review is a compilation of the author's articles and lectures that highlight the prominent developments in the literature on the subject of Islamic banking and inform the reader of the current state of debate on it. One of the earliest and main contributors to this topic is the author himself. The focus of this review will mainly be on "Economics of Profit-Sharing", which is the title of the fourth chapter of the book and is among his latest contributions. This chapter is a significant contribution as it is the first attempt to formalise the concept of profit sharing into an analytical model and, therefore, demands closer scrutiny. However, in the remaining chapters of the book, the author has drawn attention to some of the fine points made in the literature on this topic. Since some of these points appear to be controversial to me, I will briefly discuss them before moving on to the analytical chapter of the book.

Monoclonal antibody (MAB) conjugates with cytostatic agents (ADC) are intended for selective delivery of a cytostatic agent to a tumor cell. Three ADC have been approved for clinical use (gemtuzumab ozogamicin, brentuximab vedotin, trastuzumab-DM1); a few dozens of other ADC are undergoing clinical trials. Several derivatives of natural substances (antibiotics and inhibitors of microtubules) having a high antitumor activity are used as cytostatic agents included in ADC. They are inapplicable in clinical practice as self-sustained drugs due to their considerable toxicity. Of great importance for the implementation of the ADC effect is the character of a linker connecting MAB with a cytostatic agent and ensuring selective intracellular release after ADC internalization. The structure, mechanisms of action, and the results of clinical trials of a number of ADC are considered here as an illustration (by way of example). The development of ADC can help introduce new effective cytostatic agents into clinical practice.

In the present day scenario prime need of Ayurveda is practical applicability of Ayurvedic fundamental principles and research should be more focused on all aspects where scientific inputs should confirm Ayurveda’s principles and philosophy. In Ayurveda, Gunas are described as the way of presentation of action without which no Karma (action) can be possible. Ayurveda has provided significance to every Guna so that they become useful in clinical practice. Clinical practice or research is a continuous process including a series of events which need to be performed in a sequential manner. Though there are many factors on which accomplishment of treatment depends, among these Charaka has given prime importance to Paradi Gunas. In clinical practice, Guna which are to be with Bhishak are mainly the Paradi Gunas which can also be called as miscellaneous Gunas. As rightly quoted by Acarya Charaka, for getting success in the treatment Paradi Gunas are the best. The Sutra quotes "Sidhyupaya Chikitsayam" which means that Chikitsa i.e. Dhatusamya will be done mainly with the help of Paradi Gunas. Knowledge of Paradi Gunas are required to be present in pharmacists, physicians and Researchers. Acharya Charaka says that Chikitsa Siddhi i.e. successful management of disease is not possible without the knowledge of Paradi Gunas. Paradi Gunas play an important role in selection, adaption and manifestation of drug as per condition of the disease and the patient in particular Desha and Kala. The ultimate goal of any clinical activity is to contribute in the knowledge domain and to improve professional practice. Thus this literary review of Paradi Gunas serves to explore the subject of the clinical practice.

BackgroundExisting travel restrictions limit the mobility of proctors, significantly delaying clinical trials and the introduction of new neurointerventional devices. We aim to describe in detail technical and legal considerations regarding international teleproctoring, a tool that could waive the need for in-person supervision during procedures.MethodsInternational teleproctoring was chosen to provide remote supervision during the first three intracranial aneurysm treatments with a new flow diverter (currently subject of a clinical trial) in the US. Real-time, high-resolution transmission software streamed audiovisual data to a proctor located in Canada. The software allowed the transmission of images in a de-identified, HIPAA-compliant manner.ResultsAll three flow diverters were implanted as desired by operator and proctor and without complication. The proctor could swap between images from multiple sources and reported complete spatial and situational awareness, without any significant lag or delay in communication. Procedural times and radiologic dose were similar to those of uncomplicated, routine flow diversion cases at our institution.ConclusionsInternational teleproctoring was successfully implemented in our clinical practice. Its first use provided important insights for establishing this tool in our field. With no clear horizon for lifting the current travel restrictions, teleproctoring has the potential to remove the need for proctor presence in the angiography suite, thereby allowing the field to advance through the continuation of trials and the introduction of new devices in clinical practice. In order for this tool to be used safely and effectively, highly reliable connection and high-resolution equipment is necessary, and multiple legal nuances have to be considered.
