The problem of adherence to long−term treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases
20 - 26
The article analyzes the factors influencing the adherence to long−term therapy in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Division of non−compliance into intentional (intentional stop of treatment or continued treatment) and unintentional (regular drugs taking) is used. Continuation of long−term treatment and regularity of drug taking are significantly different criteria of assessment of adherence to treatment.

Definition of quality of life in patients with sequellae of mild traumatic brain injuries before and after neurometabolic therapy
54 - 57
The study involved 75 patients with sequellae of mild traumatic brain injuries. The neurometabolic therapy in the patients with sequellae of mild traumatic brain injuries was more effective in comparison with basic symptomatic therapy, since neurometabolic therapy influenced the processes of metabolism of brain, decreased its sensation to chronic hypoxia, which developed against a background of vegetative dystonia due to the injury and influence of the above therapy on the neurotransmitter system. The neurometabolic therapy in patients with sequellae of mild traumatic brain injuries improved the quality of life.

Structural changes and manifestations of clinical variants of sleep disorders in long−term period of traumatic brain injury
58 - 61
The changes of the structure of night sleep in patients with traumatic brain injury of varying severity were identified. Clinical types of sleep disorders (presomnic, intrasomnic, postsomnic) were determined. It was found out that in mild brain injury, more significant changes in the structure of night sleep corresponding to intrasomnic disorders occurred.

Ebola virus disease: presentation, diagnosis, and prevention
62 - 67
Ebola virus disease is a focal, very dangerous disease with a sever course characterized by fever, hemorrhagic syndrome and multiorgan affection. This is a RNA−viral pathogen with a high rate of antigen structure mutation and high virulence. Ebola fever is a zoonotic disease with several me−chanisms and pathways of transmission. Mortality reaches 90 %. Ebola virus specific treatment and prevention do not exist.

Characteristic of cytokine metabolism in patients with HIV/HCV co−infection
72 - 74
Cytokine metabolism was investigated in patients with HIV and accompanying chronic hepatitis C. The amount of proinflammatory cytokines and anti−inflammatory interleukin−10 was determined in the blood serum of 32 patients and 30 patients with co−infection of HIV/HCV. HIV−infected patients demonstrated significant (by 40 %) structural transformation of cytokine production, possibly due to chronic hepatitis C influence.
