Pheochromocytoma is a functioning (hormone-active) tumor of the adrenal glands, which is an infrequent, but serious problem of therapists and endocrinologists. Addison's disease in this case leads to the development of complications associated with hypertonic arterioles — heart attacks and strokes. Diagnosis is often difficult, and a radical cure consists of the tumor removal.

Functional disorders of gastrointestinal tract are factors contributing to the development of cholelithiasis in children. Introduction of modern imaging methods into pediatric practice contributes to the early detection of this pathology. The acute period of severe combined trauma in children is characterized by multiple organ dysfunction, which in turn exacerbates existing functional disorders, thereby contributing to a change in bile rheology and biliary tract motility. The article presents the results of laboratory monitoring and ultrasonography in patients in early period of severe trauma.

For many years, the basis of secondary prevention of stroke is antiplatelet therapy. The "gold standard" in the treatment of antiplatelet agents is acetylsalicylic acid(ASA). At the moment, there are various forms of production of medicines ASC. In this article, the evaluation of the drug Thrombo АSS.

Adipose tissue is a complex and heterogeneous tissue consisting of cells called adipocytes (with lipid storage functions) and endothelial and mesenchymal stem cells, preadipocytes, fibroblasts and resident immune cells (with stroma and vascular function). There is an opinion that with age, a decrease in metabolism, muscle mass occurs, together with an increase in adipose tissue and the endocrine profile of a person, which leads to various metabolic diseases. Age-related changes are often interpreted as the main cause of hormonal, anthropometric and metabolic disorders, which generates in the minds of specialists some age point ("Cinderella metabolism"), when human diseases begin. The article first attempted to theoretically analyze the true causes of age-related changes.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important stabilizer of the knee joint. It is usually injured in sports, in everyday life and in road accidents. An accurate diagnosis of ACL injury is extremely important for patient treatment and prevention of complications. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can accurately diagnose ACL damage. It is important to detect combined injuries of other knee structures, including the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), menisci, collateral ligaments, articular cartilage and bone structures. Exact interpretation of visual information requires careful methodical MRI analysis, knowledge of normal anatomy and MRI semiotics understanding of this damage. This article deals with methodical MRI execution at damage of ACL and other structures of knee joint. Direct and indirect attributes of ACL damage are discussed.

The article presents a clinical case of a rare form of cardiomyopathy-designed left ventricular myocardium in association with coronary heart disease. Both diseases has confirmed by additional research methods. Diagnosis has based on data coronary angiography and echocardiographic study.

The variety of etiological factors, the complexity of the pathogenesis and the progressive nature of liver diseases, which create difficulties in the pharmacotherapy of patients with pathology of the hepatobiliary system, are well known. In this regard, the search for new methods of treatment remains relevant. One of the promising areas is the use of sodium hypochlorite for the treatment of patients with chronic diffuse liver diseases.

The article describes the characteristics of the morphofunctional state, psychophysiological parameters, somatotypes of female athletes — professional boxers, that allow to label the athletes with a specific style of fighting. The belonging to such group gives the basis for the maximum progress of the athlete.

Aging and diseases are the two processes that limit the duration of life. A person’s life expectancy can be extended by 18 years if the main aging-associated diseases are eliminated: atherosclerosis (being also a prodrome of hypertension and ischemic heart disease) and cancer. According to the UN and WHO, one of the main indicators of level of civilization in a country is the level of health and life expectancy of its population. While the birth rate is declining, life expectancy of mankind is increasing. The proportion of people who are 80 or more years old will grow most rapidly, which will lead to a significant increase in the demographic burden on society and can seriously affect the level of medical care and social security programs for older people. In order to understand the processes and indicators of aging, the biological age (BA) was evaluated using Pogozhev ‘s method, and classes were held in the group. BA is calculated on the basis of such parameters as resting heart rate, specific lung capacity, cholesterol levels, and fasting blood sugar level. As a result, after 3 months of training, a decrease in BA by 10.6 years was recorded.
