The article reviews current problems related to mono - and combined use of medications (Tropicamide, Pregabalin ("Lyrica")). The article presents statistics on the detected use of medicines in 2016-2019 in Moscow for non-medical purposes. A review of domestic and foreign studies of the clinical aspect of consumption of these substances is conducted. A number of acute regulatory and legal problems related to the turnover of drugs in the pharmacy chain are highlighted. The authors conclude that, given the recent increase in the number of people abusing Tropicamide and Pregabalin, strict prescription control over their release in the pharmacy chain should be recommended. Caution should be exercised when prescribing these drugs for therapeutic purposes.

SummaryDespite the clinical benefit associated with the combined use of aspirin and clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome or those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, a considerable interindividual variability in response to these drugs have been consistently reported. There is a growing interest on applying platelet functional tests with the goal of identifying patients at increased risk of recurrent ischaemic events and potentially tailoring antiplatelet treatment regimens.This manuscript will review the state of the art on the most commonly available platelet functional tests, describing their advantages and disadvantages and exploring their applicability in clinical practice.

Summary Aim: Our goal was to determine the clinical usefulness of TI-201 to identify breast cancer in patients with suspicious breast lesions on clinical examination, and/or abnormal radiologic (mammography and/or ultrasonography) findings. Methods: TI-201 scintigraphy were performed in sixty-eight patients with 70 breast abnormalities (51 palpable, 19 nonpalpable) and compared with mammography and ultrasonography (US). Early (15 min) and late (3 h) images of the breasts were obtained following the injection of 111 MBq (3 mCi) of TI-201. Visual and semiquantitative interpretation was performed. Results: Final diagnosis confirmed 52 malignant breast lesions and 18 benign conditions. TI-201 visualized 47 of 52 (90%) overall malignant lesions. Thirty-eight of 40 (95%) palpable and 9 of 12 (75%) nonpalpable breast cancers were detected by TI-201 scintigraphy. The smallest mass lesion detected by TI-201 measured 1.5x1.0 cm. Eleven breast lesions were interpreted as indeterminate by mammography and/or sonography. TI-201 scintigraphy excluded malignancy in 7 of 8 (88%) patients with benign breast lesions interpreted as indeterminate. Five of the 18 (28%) benign breast lesions showed TI-201 uptake. None of the fibroadenoma and fibrocystic changes accumulated TI-201. TI-201 scintigraphy, mammography and ultrasonography showed 90%, 92%, 85% overall sensitivity and 72%, 56%, 61% overall specificity respectively. Twenty-one of the 28 (75%) axillary nodal metastatic sites were also detected by TI-201. In malignant and benign lesions, early and late lesion/contralateral normal side (L/N) ratios were 1.58 ± 0.38 (mean ± SD) and 1.48 ± 0.32 (p >0.05), 1.87 ± 0.65 and 1.34 ± 0.20 (p<0.05) respectively. The mean early and late L/N ratios of malignant and benign groups did not show statistical difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: Overall, TI-201 scintigraphy was the most specific of the three methods and yielded favourable results in palpable breast cancers, while it showed lower sensitivity in nonpalpable cancers and axillary metastases. Combined use of TI-201 scintigraphy with mammography and US seems to be useful in difficult cases, such as dense breasts and indeterminate breast lesions.

Introduction. Piriformis syndrome (PS) is a condition accompanied by tension of the piriformis muscle and followed then by compression of the sciatic nerve passing through the piriformis muscle. According to statistics, PS occurs in 6–35 % of patients with lower back pain. Practitioners still face difficulties in treating patients with PS, and it necessitates the searching of new therapy methods and assessment of their compatibility.The goal of research — to study the clinical efficacy of the combined use of manual therapy and visual colorimpulse therapy in patients with piriformis syndrome.Materials and methods. A prospective, controlled, randomized study was conducted in 2019 at the Department of Sports Medicine and Medical Rehabilitation of I. M. Sechenov First Moscow Medical State University. In accordance with the inclusion criteria, 40 patients participated in the study. All participants, depending on the used treatment methodology, were divided by the method of simple randomization using envelopes into two equal groups. In the main group (group I), an integrated approach to treatment was tested: manual therapy in combination with visual color-impulse therapy (CIT); and in the other group (group II) only manual therapy was used.Results. The combined use of manual therapy and CIT in patients with piriformis syndrome leads to a significantly more pronounced decrease in the pain degree and normalization of impaired muscle tone. Also, an integrated approach helps to eliminate existing angiospastic disorders of the lower extremities.Conclusion. The study shows a clear positive dynamics in the integrated use of manual therapy methods in combination with visual color-impulse therapy in the treatment of patients with piriformis syndrome. It is planned to continue the study and assess the possibilities of using the combined technique in different groups of patients (athletes, pregnant women) with this syndrome.
