Lipid Modifying Agents

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death both in Serbia and in the rest of the world. It has been shown that as many as 80% of them are preventable. Control of serum lipid levels is one of the most important tasks of cardiovascular diseases prevention. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the use of serum lipid-modifying drugs in Serbia, Norway and Finland in the period 2015-2017. Methods: Data on drugs use during 2015, 2016 and 2017 were taken from the official websites of national drug regulatory authorities: the Serbian Medicines and Medical Devices Agency, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and the Finnish Medicines Agency. Use was expressed as DDD/1000 inhabitants/day according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification. Results: The share of drugs used for treatment of cardiovascular diseases in total drugs use was the largest in all three countries during the observed period. The use of lipidmodifying agents was 3-4 times lower in Serbia than in Norway or Finland. Of all lipidmodifying drugs, statins are most commonly prescribed in all three countries. Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin are the most widely used in Serbia, and simvastatin and atorvastatin in Norway and Finland. Conclusions: Use of lipid-modifying drugs in Serbia is lower than in Norway and Finland, but it is constantly increasing. This use in Serbia still represents the smallest share of all drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Aim. Marketing research in the segment of herbal medicines for the treatment of the diseases of the cardiovascular system in the Republic of Belarus. Methods. The study of the healthcare market was carried out using analytical and statistical methods by analyzing data from the State Register of Medicines of the Republic of Belarus (as of 01.01.2020) and the database of sales of medicines and biologically active food additives «IQVIA» (data on the sale of medicines for 2019). Data processing was carried out using the Microsoft Office Excel 2016 software package. Results. As of 01.01.2020, 51 herbal medicines from group C (according to the anatomical-therapeutic-chemical classification «Cardiovascular system») were registered in the Republic of Belarus by 29 manufacturers from 10 countries. Most herbal medicines for treatment of cardiovascular diseases are imported (54.90%). According to originality criterion generic herbal medicines from this segment prevail, both in terms of the number of registered names (78.43%) and sales volumes in cash (53.86%) and in kind (96.49%). In terms of composition, monocomponent herbal medicines prevail (56.86%). Among monocomponent medicines the majority of herbal medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases are domestic (31.37% of the total number of registered herbal medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases), while among the combined ones the greater part is imported (33.33%). In terms of sales in kind, monocomponent herbal medicines prevail (74.98%), whereas in monetary terms combined ones predominate (40.65%). Conclusion. It is a promising perspective for domestic enterprises to develop combined herbal medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in order to provide the population with more affordable medicines from this segment, as well as to implement the principles of import substitution in the healthcare market of the Republic of Belarus.

atients with cardiovascular diseases need systematic monitoring of the main parameters of the cardiovascular system on an outpatient basis using special medical devices. The aim of the study is to conduct an assortment analysis of medical devices intended for use at home by patients with cardiovascular diseases. Materials and methods: The objects of the study were clinical recommendations for the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system (12); State Register of Medical Devices of the Russian Federation; Internet sites of pharmacy chains of the Republic of Tatarstan (5), sites of Internet pharmacies (1); data of the reference service “003” State Unitary Enterprise “Medical equipment and pharmacy of Tatarstan”. The work uses the methods of content analysis, logical, structural, graphic analysis. Price segmentation was carried out using the Sturgess grouping method. Results. An analysis of clinical guidelines for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system was carried out to identify the main control parameters required on an outpatient basis. The groups of medical devices used by patients on their own have been determined: tonometers, pulse oximeters and diagnostic tests. The analysis of the State Register of Medical Products and Pharmacy Assortment of the Republic of Tatarstan was carried out in order to identify the availability of medical products to the population. Price segmentation of the studied groups of medical devices was carried out in order to determine consumer opportunities; the indicators of the completeness of the assortment were calculated. A wide range of tonometer models is presented in pharmacies of the Republic of Tatarstan. More than 60% of mechanical and automatic blood pressure monitors are in the low segment; the indicator of the completeness of the assortment Kp = 0.83, which allows satisfying the needs of patients. 50% of the assortment group “pulse oximeters” sold from pharmacies belongs to the low price segment; assortment completeness indicator Kp = 0.29. Diagnostic tests implemented in the Republic of Tatarstan are represented by express tests for the determination of ketones in blood and urine; assortment completeness indicator Kp = 0.31. The price segmentation of test systems is largely determined by the need to use additional instruments (analyzers). 75% of the total number of express tests presented on the pharmaceutical market of the Republic of Tatarstan belong to the middle price segment. Conclusions. As of March 2021, 950 medical devices used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases were registered on the domestic market. At the same time, 22.6% can be used at home and are sold to the population by pharmacy organizations. For self-monitoring of indicators of the cardiovascular system on an outpatient basis, tonometers, test systems and heart rate monitors are used. Their share of the total number of registered medical devices used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases is 17%. The price segmentation of the studied groups of medical devices indicates the availability of their purchase by customers with high and medium paying capacity. The prospects for expanding the range of medical products for independent use by patients with cardiovascular diseases in the regional pharmaceutical market have been identified.

Communal Organization

This paper shows how solidarity is one of the founding principles in Thomas More's Utopia (1516). In the fictional republic of Utopia described in Book II, solidarity has a political and a moral function. The principle is at the center of the communal organization of Utopian society, exemplified in a number of practices such as the sharing of farm work, the management of surplus crops, or the democratic elections of the governor and the priests. Not only does solidarity benefit the individual Utopian, but it is a prerequisite to ensure the prosperity of the island of Utopia and its moral preeminence over its neighboring countries. However, a limit to this principle is drawn when the republic of Utopia faces specific social difficulties, and also deals with the rest of the world. In order for the principle of solidarity to function perfectly, it is necessary to apply it exclusively within the island or the republic would be at risk. War is not out of the question then, and compassion does not apply to all human beings. This conception of solidarity, summed up as “Utopia first!,” could be dubbed a Machiavellian strategy, devised to ensure the durability of the republic. We will show how some of the recommendations of Realpolitik made by Machiavelli in The Prince (1532) correspond to the Utopian policy enforced to protect their commonwealth.

The Impact

The process of globalization, which many times is considered as new world order is affecting all spheres of modern society but also the media. In this paper specifically we will see the impact of globalization because we see changing the media access to global problems in general being listed on these processes. We will see that the greatest difficulties will have small media as such because the process is moving in the direction of creating mega media which thanks to new technology are reaching to deliver news and information at the time of their occurrence through choked the small media. So it is fair to conclude that the rapid economic development and especially the technology have made the world seem "too small" to the human eyes, because for real-time we will communicate with the world with the only one Internet connection, and also all the information are take for the development of events in the four corners of the world and direct from the places when the events happen. Even Albanian space has not left out of this process because the media in the Republic of Albania and the Republic of Kosovo are adapted to the new conditions under the influence of the globalization process. This fact is proven powerful through creating new television packages, written the websites and newspapers in their possession.

The article discusses the meanings of life and value priorities of the post- Soviet society. The author argues that, at present, there are symptoms of a global ideological crisis in the world, that the West does not have its own vision of where and how to move on and has no understanding of the future. Unfortunately, most of the post-Soviet countries do not have such vision as well. In these conditions, there are mistrust, confusion, paradoxical manifestation of human consciousness. The main meanings that determine our life-world are: the desire of citizens for social justice and social security, the desire to figure out and understand the basic values of modern society, how honestly and equally the authorities act toward their fellow citizens, and to what extent they reflect their interests. The meanings of life, which are the answers to the challenges of the time, are embodied in the cultural code of each nation, state. The growth points of new values, which will become the basis for the future sustainable development of a new civilization, have yet to be discovered in the systemic transformative changes of the culture. In this process, the emergence of a new system of values that governs human life is inevitable. However, modern technology brings new troubles to humans. It has provided wide opportunities for informational violence and public consciousness manipulation. Nowadays, the scenario that is implemented in Western consumer societies claims to be the dominant scenario. Meanwhile, today there is no country in the world that is a role model, there is no ideal that others would like to borrow. Most post-Soviet states failed to advance their societies to more decent levels of economic development, to meet the challenges of the modern information age, and to provide the population with new high living standards. Therefore, in conditions of growing confrontation, we should realistically understand the world and be ready to implement changes that will ensure sustainable development of the state and society without losing our national identity.
