HYPOXIC TRACE OF STRESS: HIF-1Α, ERYTHROPOIETIN, AND CORTISOL AS KEY MARKERS OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER IN COMBATANTS
type: item
description: Objective. The study aimed to perform a comparative analysis of pathophysiological profiles based on levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, erythropoietin, and cortisol in combatants with different consequences of combat trauma.Methods. A comparative cross-sectional study included three groups: combatants with verified post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (n=15), combatants with traumatic amputations without PTSD (n=45), and those who survived critical conditions in the intensive care unit (ICU) (n=20). Biomarker levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical analysis included non-parametric tests with Bonferroni correction and ROC analysis.Results. Specific biomarker patterns were identified. The PTSD group was characterized by a significant increase in hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (median 79.07 pg/mL) and decreased cortisol (198.24 nMol/L) compared to the amputation and ICU groups (p<0.001). The erythropoietin level was highest in the ICU group (76.20 pg/mL), reflecting systemic hypoxia. A combined model of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and cortisol demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for PTSD verification (AUC=0.88, specificity 84.4%).Conclusion. The combination of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and cortisol forms a specific biomarker profile reflecting PTSD pathophysiology associated with the phenomenon of cellular hypoxia and dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The proposed diagnostic algorithm based on these markers is promising for the objective diagnosis and risk stratification of PTSD development.

PRECLINICAL ACUTE TOXICITY STUDY OF ANTIGENS FROM OPPORTUNISTIC BACTERIA AND THEIR COMPLEXES
type: item
description: Objective. To study the acute toxicity of antigens of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris , Staphylococcus aureus following intraperitoneal administration in mice, and to investigate the toxicity of their complex variants after a single subcutaneous injection and six repeated intranasal administrations in mice and rats. Methods. The toxicity of individual antigens was studied in SHK mice after intraperitoneal injection at doses ranging from 50 to 200 μg. The acute toxicity of an antigen complex, with and without the addition of a copolymer of 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine and N-vinylpyrrolidone hydrochloride (used as an additional immunostimulant), was also investigated. Variants of the antigen complexes were administered to CBA mice and Wistar rats either subcutaneously once at doses of 150-300 mg/kg (mice) and 90-150 mg/kg (rats), or intranasally six times at doses of 120-180 mg/kg. Clinical observations and body weight monitoring were performed daily for 14 days. Results. The study of acute toxicity of S. aureus, E. coli, P. vulgaris , and K. pneumoniae antigens showed no toxic effects, except for reversible body weight loss. Intranasal administration of the complexes at the tested doses did not cause intoxication or mortality. Subcutaneous administration resulted in reversible dose-dependent changes (reduced activity, tremor, changes in coat condition), most pronounced at 300 mg/kg, but without lethal outcomes. No sex-related differences or differences between complex variants were observed. LD₅₀ could not be determined due to the absence of mortality; the maximum doses tested (300 mg/kg subcutaneously and 180 mg/kg intranasally) exceeded the estimated therapeutic dose for humans by more than 100,000 and 60,000 times, respectively. Conclusion. The results of acute toxicity studies of individual antigens and antigen complex variants at the highest feasible doses confirm their safety, supporting further preclinical evaluation of the antigen comple…

SOME ASPECTS OF THE PRESENCE OF PLASTIC PARTICLES IN DIFFERENT TISSUES OF THE HUMAN BODY
type: item
description: Objective. To show the features of the distribution and impact of plastic particles in different tissues of the human body from a morphological point of view. Methodology. Full-text versions of literary sources on the spread and impact of plastics on humans were used. These sources were obtained from international and domestic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, eLibrary, RSCI) through a systematic online search. The electronic search for information was conducted on works published in peer-reviewed journals from April 1995 to April 2025. Different search queries were used, including combinations of keywords. To ensure methodological rigor, a structured selection process was employed, which included predefined exclusion and inclusion criteria. The articles identified during the search process were evaluated for inclusion in the review using a two-step selection process. These steps were: 1) selecting articles that met the inclusion criteria, and 2) conducting a conceptual, process, situational, logical, and systematic analysis, as well as summarizing the data obtained from the selected articles. The studies were carefully selected based on their relevance. Priority was given to original research. The information obtained was organized to create a review. Results. These data show that plastic is currently found in most human organs and tissues. The impact of plastic on cells and biological environments can lead to oxidative stress, changes in metabolism and biochemical parameters, slowing down cell proliferation, tissue degeneration, abnormal development and organ dysfunction, inflammation, impaired immune system functions and altered gene function. However, despite a large number of studies on deciphering the mechanisms of plastic exposure, they are mainly obtained through experiments on animals and cell cultures. Conclusions. Given the ubiquity of plastic particles in nature, humans will be exposed to it for a very long time, even if they completely abandon …

BAZETT'S FORMULA. BACKGROUND OF THE ISSUE
type: item
description: Objective. To study the historical stages of the formation of scientific thought, the final result of which was the «Bazett formula». Methods. Analysis and synthesis of scientific and patent literature was carried out using the information-search system PubMed, ScholarGoogle, electronic library systems IPR SMART (IPR BOOKS), foreign electronic resources of publishing houses Springer Nature and Elsevier. Results. The article examines the history of the origin of the Bazett formula. The focus is on the concept of the corrected QT (QTc) interval from the moment of the emergence of the idea of a mathematical model for the relationship between the heart cycle and the seat to the publication of the now widely accepted calculation formula of QTc, named Henry K. Bazett. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the so-called «Bazett' formula» was proposed not by Henry K. Bazett, as it is considered in the general scientific circles, but by other authors. The idea of calculating the corrected interval QT and its designation as QTc belongs to Taran L.M. and Szilagyi N. In their publication of 1947, the authors justified the proposed method of investigation. Conclusion. The presented historical study of the origin of «the formula of Bazett» showed that when mentioning the formula it would be more correct to refer to the publication Taran L.M. & Szilagyi N., 1947, while the authors themselves, the proposers of the concept QTc and its calculation method pointed in their work to the publication Bazett H.C.

PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF XEROSTOMIA PHARMACOTHERAPY
type: item
description: Objective. Improving drug therapy for patients with xerostomia. Methods. Collection, systematization, and analysis of literature data on the effectiveness and safety of pharmacological treatment of xerostomia. Results. A comparative analysis of the therapeutic efficacy and safety of using various medications in the objective and subjective forms of xerostomia has been conducted. The results of clinical studies on the effectiveness of pharmacological correction of xerostomia, which is achieved by activating the secretory function of the salivary glands with parasympathomimetics and irritants with reflex and local effects, are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of replacement therapy (artificial saliva preparations) are considered. The rationale for choosing medications for various forms of xerostomia, taking into account their pharmacodynamics, is proposed. The article analyzes the prospects for pharmacotherapy of xerostomia, depending on the etiopathogenesis and age-related changes in the structure of the salivary glands. Conclusion. A comprehensive approach is preferred in the treatment of xerostomia. The priority is to eliminate the cause (if possible). Patients with preserved salivary gland function may be prescribed stimulants for the production of their own saliva. Systemic secretion stimulants (parasympathomimetics) are the most effective, but their use is associated with the development of a number of adverse effects. In case of xerostomia caused by the death of acinar tissue of the salivary glands (Sjögren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, radiation therapy), optimal means of replacement therapy (saliva substitutes) are selected. If necessary, other (auxiliary) means can be prescribed to prevent and treat complications of xerostomia (anesthetics, antiseptics, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antioxidants and antihypoxants).

FEATURES OF CHOICE OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY OF INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
type: item
description: Objective. To highlight the epidemiology and main features of the choice of antimicrobial therapy for enterococcal infective endocarditis. Methods. Based on the available sources of information, data on the recommended principles of managing patients with enterococcal infective endocarditis are presented. Results. Along with the increasing role of Staphylococcus aureus in infective endocarditis, there is also a tendency to increase the isolation of Enterococcus spp. The probable reason for this is the high frequency of pathology of the abdominal cavity and the small pelvis, and as a result, the fact that Enterococcus spp. is currently one of the main causes of outpatient and nosocomial cases of bacteremia. Conclusions. The significance of the infective endocarditis problem is confirmed by the lack of a downward trend in the incidence and mortality rates of this pathology. Improving the management of patients with infective endocarditis is impossible without knowledge of the diagnostic and therapeutic features, a clear understanding of the etiological structure, and consideration of global and local data on antimicrobial therapy.

CONTENT OF CIRCULATING ANNEXIN V MONONUCLEAR CELLS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF APOPTOSIS IN VACCINATED AGAINST INFLUENZA AND PNEUMOCOCCAL INFECTION DURING EXACERBATION OF CHRONIC MUCOPURULENT BRONCHITIS
type: item
description: Objective. To study the content of circulating annexin V mononuclear cells at different stages of apoptosis in individuals vaccinated against influenza and pneumococcal infection during exacerbation of chronic mucopurulent bronchitis and in somatically healthy individuals. Methods. Observation of 92 patients with exacerbation of chronic mucopurulent bronchitis and 30 somatically healthy individuals was carried out. Mononuclei in apoptosis were investigated using the reagent set «Annexin-V-FITC/7AAD» («Beckman Coulter», USA). The specific weight of intact cells, cells at early and late stages of apoptosis and necrotic cells was determined. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS program, version 26.0 (USA). Results. On the basis of the conducted research we found out that at exacerbation of chronic mucopurulent bronchitis there is an intensification of apoptotic processes, which is manifested by an increase in the content of both the total number of apoptotic cells and cells at each stage of apoptosis. Conclusion. We found no intersex differences in any of the apoptosis indicators in both observation groups. We also found no statistically significant differences depending on influenza and pneumococcal vaccination both among patients with chronic mucopurulent bronchitis and in the control group.

type: item
description: Objective. To study the socio-psychological aspects of the quality of life of families with children with ASD receiving early intervention services, to identify correlations between the duration of early intervention services provided to children and their families and the quality of life of families. Methods. This study is an analysis of the socio-psychological aspects of the quality of life of families with children with autism spectrum disorders receiving early intervention services. The study included a questionnaire to collect information on the socio-demographic characteristics of families, their financial situation, housing conditions and experience of receiving early intervention services. The quality of life of families was assessed using the FEIQoL and BCFQoL scales. The DASS-21 scale was used to identify affective disorders, and parent-child relationships were analyzed using the Schaeffer and Bell method. The dynamics of quality of life was monitored depending on the duration of early intervention services, and correlations between the duration of support and the quality of life of families were studied. Results. The impact of early intervention services on the quality of life of families with children with autism spectrum disorders, the psychological state of mothers, and parent-child relationships is demonstrated. Conclusion. Early detection of communication problems, the choice of a competent strategy for teaching a child with autism spectrum disorders, timely correction of existing disorders and effective interaction with the family within the framework of early intervention ensure successful adaptation and socialization of the child.

type: item
description: Objective. Analysis of the practical experience of medical rehabilitation of children with constitutionally exogenous obesity in outpatient settings using the example of the Department of medical rehabilitation of the Children's City Polyclinic No. 1 in Astrakhan. Methods. A retrospective analysis of extracts from medical records of 76 patients under the age of 18 who received course rehabilitation treatment in the Department of medical rehabilitation of the Children's City Polyclinic No. 1 in Astrakhan from 2022 to 2024 was carried out. A content analysis of medical documentation data (f026u, f003u) and patient interviews were conducted. Results. The analysis of the structure of treated patients with diseases of the endocrine system was carried out. The proportion of obese patients in the structure of pathology with which children underwent outpatient medical rehabilitation at stage III in the Department of medical Rehabilitation of the Children's City Polyclinic No. 1 in Astrakhan 1 from 2022 to 2024 has been established. Conclusion. Outpatient rehabilitation of obese children has shown its effectiveness with a comprehensive approach to treatment. The results of the study demonstrated positive dynamics in terms of body weight and body mass index. The limitations of the program have shown that it is impossible to radically change the physical fitness of children in a short period of time.

RHEUMATOLOGIC CHANGES OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS
type: item
description: Objective. To study the peculiarities of rheumatologic changes in the musculoskeletal system in patients with both types of diabetes mellitus. Methods. The staff of the Department of Therapy of the Pediatric and Dental Faculties of Smolensk State Medical University presented a review of 18 Russian and 25 foreign reference sources over the past 20 years, concerned with various changes in the musculoskeletal system in patients with both types of diabetes mellitus. Results. The authors presented the pathogenetic stages of osteoarticular and muscular lesions, the clinical features of pathological conditions of the musculoskeletal system in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, modern diagnostic methods and treatment principles for each nosological form of osteoarthropathy. Conclusions. Analyzing the available Russian and foreign sources, the authors emphasize the indisputable presence of so-called osteopenia, or a decrease in bone mineral density in patients with diabetes mellitus. Secondary osteoporosis caused by diabetes mellitus may lead to long-term bone pains and impaired physical activity in patients, increasing the risk of their disabilities. The influence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus on an increased risk of bone fractures is emphasized by all authors. However, the mechanisms of this influence are different. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulinopenia, which affects the anabolic tone of bones and leads to a decrease in their mineral density. Most patients with type 2 diabetes have normal or high bone mineral density, and their risk of fractures is due to microscopic changes in bone structure and the humoral environment that stimulates the activity of osteoclasts that destroy bone tissue. This review is important in doctors’ practice of various specialties and focuses their attention not only on glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus, but also on the condition of their musculoskeletal system.

DIET THERAPY AND APPROACHES TO ASSESSING THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF PATIENTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES
type: item
description: Objective. To analyze the methods of assessing the nutritional status of patients with IBD and to study modern approaches to diet therapy in this category of patients. Methods. A review of domestic and foreign literature devoted to the methods of determining malnutrition and diet therapy in patients with IBD was carried out. Results. This article describes methods for determining malnutrition, such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and skinfold thickness, universal malnutrition screening tool, subjective global assessment of malnutrition, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, bioimpedance analysis, computed tomography with skeletal muscle index, lumbar muscle density using average Hounsfield units. It also discusses nutritional interventions used for nutritional support of patients with IBD, including rehydration, enteral, parenteral nutrition and dietary therapy, which differ in patients in the acute stage and in remission. The role of diets relevant in the complex therapy of IBD is discussed: low/high fiber, FODMAP, specific carbohydrate, CD-Treat, CDED, AIP (autoimmune), gluten-free, lactose-free and Mediterranean. Conclusions. These data reflecting the current state of the problem highlight the importance of timely diagnosis of patients with IBD and nutritional deficiency condition. When used correctly, nutritional therapy becomes a valuable component of treatment, helping to achieve therapeutic goals in the treatment of IBD, prevent complications, and improve key aspects such as growth, bone health, and overall well-being.

POSSIBILITIES AND BARRIERS TO USING A REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH IMPLANTED ANTIARRHYTHMIC DEVICES
type: item
description: Objective. To study and analyze current aspects of using a remote monitoring (RM) system for implanted antiarrhythmic devices (IAD) in patients with life-threatening cardiac rhythm and conduction disorders, as well as to identify factors that hinder the widespread implementation of this essential element of digitalization in healthcare. Methods. Collection, analysis, and systematization of available information on the possibilities and prospects for implementing continuous RM in patients with IAD. Results. The review article presents a systematic analysis of modern RM technologies and organizational aspects of implementing this process. Detailed information on the legal and ethical requirements for the implementation of RM is provided, and issues of cybersecurity of personal data, including information on the health status of patients, are outlined. Progress in the technology of creating universal implantable antiarrhythmic devices (IAD) has contributed to a steady increase in the number of patients - carriers of these devices around the world. Due to the steady increase in the number of patients with IAD, it is relevant to widely use the RM strategy, which allows for timely detection of disorders/complications of these devices and prompt response to clinical consequences. Conclusion. The implementation of the automatic contactless RM technology demonstrated high efficiency and safety of remote control of the IAD, and also improved patient compliance to comply with RM recommendations. Furthermore, economic incentives for reimbursement would likely allow the use of RM in all patients with IAD, as discussed in clinical guidelines.

ANTIBIOTIC-INDUCED NEUROLOGICAL SYNDROMES: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
type: item
description: Objective. Systematization of data on the clinical manifestations of neurotoxic effects caused by antibiotics, the study of their underlying mechanisms and the development of ways to solve this problem. Methods. A systematic review of scientific literature using PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases. Results. Neurotoxic side effects can manifest in various neurological forms, including encephalopathy, seizures, myoclonus, and peripheral neuropathy. Patients with previous diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), renal insufficiency, and the elderly are at increased risk of developing these complications. Treatment usually includes withdrawal of the causative antibiotic and symptomatic therapy. Conclusion. The review systematizes data on the neurotoxicity of aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, penicillins, carbapenems, tetracyclines, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, macrolides, quinolones, oxazolidinones, streptogramines, polymyxins, metronidazole, and other antibiotics that cause encephalopathy, seizures, myoclonus, peripheral neuropathy, and other neurological disorders. Patients with central nervous system and kidney diseases, the elderly, and the seriously ill are particularly at risk. Withdrawal of the antibiotic, symptomatic treatment and dose adjustment are recommended. An algorithm of actions is proposed: dose adjustment, drug withdrawal, anticonvulsant therapy and, if necessary, hemodialysis. The optimization of antibiotic therapy requires an integrated approach, including the participation of clinical pharmacologists, the rational administration of antibiotics based on microbiological data, and the implementation of protocols. A promising direction is the use of chatbots based on artificial intelligence.

SOME EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF VERTEBROBASILAR INSUFFICIENCY
type: item
description: Objective. Studying the epidemiology of vertebrobasilar insufficiency and strokes in the vertebrobasilar basin is important for understanding the problem and developing effective measures for prevention and treatment. Methods. Of particular interest is the epidemiological situation with vertebrobasilar insufficiency and strokes in the vertebrobasilar basin in the countries of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan). Data for this region remain fragmentary, but the available information indicates the high relevance of the problem. Results. According to the data provided in the world literature, about 20-25% of all ischemic strokes and transient ischemic attacks occur in the vertebrobasilar basin. Pathology of the posterior circulation of the brain ranks second in frequency of occurrence after lesions of the carotid basin. Overall, Central Asia has historically high rates of stroke incidence and mortality, with stroke being the second leading cause of cardiovascular mortality (167 per 100,000 population), behind only ischemic heart disease (416 per 100,000 population). Central Asia is predicted to have a high incidence of diabetes mellitus and prediabetes, as well as arterial hypertension. Conclusion. Epidemiological data indicate a significant prevalence of vertebrobasilar insufficiency and strokes in the vertebrobasilar basin worldwide. At the same time, in Central Asian countries, an increase in the burden of these conditions is predicted, which is associated with a high prevalence of risk factors, primarily diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension.

PECULIARITIES OF FLAVONOID COMPOUNDS ACCUMULATION IN MEDICINAL PLANT RAW MATERIALS OF SYNANTHROPIC FLORA OF CENTRAL CHERNOZEM
type: item
description: Objective. The purpose of the study is to study the characteristics of the accumulation of flavonoid compounds in the medicinal plant raw materials of the synanthropic flora of the Voronezh region. Methods. Methodology. Raw materials from characteristic representatives of the synanthropic flora of the Voronezh region - highlander bird grass ( Polygonum aviculare L.), motherwort five-lobed grass ( Leonurus quinquelobatus Gilib.), Containing flavonoids as one of the main groups of active substances, were used as study objects. Raw materials were harvested in natural thickets of the studied plants in protected (control) territories, in agrocenoses and urbocenoses with different nature and internality of economic activity. Determination of the amount of flavonoids in the raw material was carried out according to compendial methods. Results. The accumulation of flavonoid compounds in plant samples was characterized by significant variability depending on the place of harvesting. In a number of grass samples collected under conditions of a number of urbocenoses, an induction of flavonoid accumulation was noted compared to samples of control territories, which can be explained by the activation under anthropogenic load of a key enzyme of flavonoid biosynthesis. Samples prepared under conditions of significant anthropogenic impact (mainly near highways and industrial enterprises) are characterized by a relatively reduced content of flavonoid compounds, which is probably due to excessive environmental pollution, which goes beyond the endurance of species and causes inhibition of enzyme systems in them. Conclusion. Based on the correlation analysis, both the inducing effect on the accumulation of polyphenolic compounds of heavy metals, which is characteristic mainly for their relatively low concentrations, and the inhibitory effect of high concentrations of elements were confirmed.

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER PROPERTIES OF VITAMIN MEDICINES
type: item
description: Objective. Conducting an analysis of consumer properties of vitamin drugs presented on the Russian pharmaceutical market. Methods. The object of the study was vitamin drugs registered in the state register of medicines of Russia. The study used sociological, pharmacoeconomic research methods. Results. To determine the priority characteristics of vitamin drugs among consumers, a survey was conducted among the population, in which 162 respondents took part. It was revealed that the majority of the population (72.8%) buys vitamins in pharmacies in the form of drugs (36.4). It was found that 215 vitamin drugs are registered on the Russian pharmaceutical market, which correspond to 23 international non-proprietary names, mainly produced in Russia. The breadth coefficient (1) indicates the presence of almost all pharmacotherapeutic groups on the market of the Oryol region, and the depth coefficient (0.57) indicates an incomplete assortment, taking into account the various dosage forms and manufacturers. The population prefers vitamins in the form of capsules (29.7%), tablets (20.4%), film-coated tablets (19.1%) in the price category from 100 to 500 rubles. The majority of respondents consider the composition (61.1%), pharmacological action (49.4%), price (44.4%), and method of administration (42.5%) to be the most important consumer properties of vitamins, but many attach considerable importance to the color of the dosage form, taste, packaging, and labeling. Conclusion. The identified consumer preferences contribute to improving the quality characteristics of vitamin drugs and increasing their competitiveness in the pharmaceutical market.

MECHANISMS OF DEVELOPMENT OF TOXIC EFFECTS OF CADMIUM IONS
type: item
description: Intraduction. Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that pollutes the environment primarily as a result of human activity. Chronic exposure to cadmium affects various organs, especially the kidneys. The aim of the study is to analyze modern literature sources on the mechanisms of development of toxic effects of cadmium ions. Materials and methods. More than 100 literature sources were reviewed, of which 38 articles were included in the review. Data collection was carried out on electronic databases: Pubmed, Elibrary, RSCI, Cyberleninka over the past 5 years. Results. Analyzing a sufficient amount of literature data, we present the opinion of domestic and foreign scientists on the toxic effect of cadmium with impaired heme synthesis, inhibition of key enzymes in iron metabolism, with the development of hemic hypoxia and oxidative stress. Cadmium damages biomolecules, disrupting endothelial function and reducing the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO), which contributes to vasoconstriction and hypertension. Cadmium also affects ion transport across cell membranes and stimulates the production of angiotensin II and aldosterone, which regulate blood pressure. Exposure to cadmium leads to a violation of the concentrating function of the kidneys, the development of tubulointerstitial nephritis, electrolyte and lipid imbalances, contributing to an increase in blood pressure and the level of atherogenic LDL in the blood. Conclusion. These changes contribute to the development of the atherosclerotic process. Oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and dysregulation of the RAAS are pathogenetic links in the development of kidney dysfunction, which accordingly contributes to the formation of hypertensive syndrome and pathology of the cardiovascular system. Conclusions. Disruption of the mechanisms of metabolic processes underlying the pathology of visceral systems includes damage to the kidneys, liver, and impaired myocardial activity.
