The purpose of study was to analyze own clinical experience and assess the effectiveness in treatment of severe very poorly controlled allergic asthma patients with omalizumab. The effectiveness of biologic treatment with omalizumab was analyzed in 10 patients with severe very poorly controlled allergic asthma. It has been shown that indication of anti-IgE therapy in case of severe allergic asthma resulted in decrease of day and night asthma symptoms, symptoms of allergic rhinitis, dose of other anti - inflammatory asthma medications, discontinuation of systemic corticosteroids which led to good and partial control of the disease. Anti-IgE therapy is a highly effective treatment in asthma patients with atopic phenotype.

The purpose of the study is to assess the characteristics of heart risk variability in patients with non - alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). ⋯ Compared with the first group, the increase in cholesterol in patients in the second group was noted by 38.8%, in the third group - by 43.7%, TG - by 34.6 and 41.95%. In patients with NAFLD + DM of the second type, SDNN and SDNNidx decreased in comparison with the healthy patients by 15% (p.

Vasculitis is a clinically diverse group of diseases with histopathological signs of blood vessel inflammation, which contributes to vascular damage and ischemic damage to the affected tissues. Vasculitic neuropathy is a common complication of the primary systemic vasculitides, such as polyartertis nodosa and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, systemic diseases of the connective tissue - systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren syndrome, vasculitis associated with infection, most often viral hepatitis C and B and non - systemic vasculitis neuropathy. Vessels of medium and small caliber are involved in the pathological process in these diseases. ⋯ Nerve biopsy can help establish the diagnosis of a systemic vasculitis, particularly when other organ involvement is not clinically apparent, and is required for diagnosis of NSVN. Neuropathy due to systemic vasculitis should be treated in accordance with the recommendations for the treatment of the underlying disease. In NSVH, the main medicine of choice are glucocrticoids, and in severe/progressive cases, pulse therapy with cyclophosphamide.
