Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic musculoskeletal and cutaneous inflammatory disease that affects about 20-30% of patients with psoriasis. In addition to musculoskeletal and cutaneous manifestations, patients with PsA have a higher prevalence of comorbidities compared to the general population. More than half of patients with PsA have at least one comorbidity, with up to 40% of patients having more than three comorbidities. PsA has a particularly strong association with metabolic diseases and, as a result, with cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Improvement of early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis based on clinical data, immunological and mathematical research methods.
Moral, ethical, and professional deontological rules have a substantial impact on the social relations of legal regulation regarding liability for abuses and violations of citizens' rights – people taking medication – patients as part of the health care system. The identification of the place and role of moral norms, ethics, and professional deontology, their quality as specific non-traditional primary sources in the development of the health care system, and the sub-branch of pharmaceutical law in the Republic of Moldova were the focus of the present study.
Global consumption of plant protein is increasing and high-fiber plants have health benefits through valuable phytochemicals. Plant proteins serve as an alternative to animal proteins to meet consumer demand on the one hand and reduce the risk of disease on the other
To improve outcomes for patients and prevent avoidable surgical errors, neurosurgeons must change the culture of patient safety. The purpose of the study was to explore the perception of Patient Safety Culture (PSC) and the factors influencing it among the staff in the neurosurgical departments from Republic of Moldova.
Digital tomosynthesis is a relatively new imaging modality that is already used in the diagnosis of breast cancer and has shown promising results in evaluating patients with pulmonary, osteoarticular, and other pathologies. However, up to date, there are no published studies related to the usefulness of digital tomosynthesis in the evaluation of patients with laryngeal cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical role of digital tomosynthesis in the diagnosis of laryngeal cancer and compare the imaging results with those obtained by digital radiography and computed tomography.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is considered an important disease in the structure of morbidity and mortality and a rising public health problem with increasing global age prevalence. Exacerbation of COPD in the elderly has a significant negative impact on the clinical and paraclinical picture, daily activity capacity, and quality of life. The need for correct diagnostic management is dictated by the severity of the pathology in the elderly and the high frequency of cardiac complications. Studying the clinical-paraclinical picture and the diagnostic capacity of natriuretic peptides in COPD patients with cardiovascular complications was the aim of the present research.
Parasitic arthritis is associated with infestation of the patient's body of parasitic species of worms and protozoan microorganisms. Now it has been established that parasitic arthritis can be caused by almost any species of these creatures. The objective of the study was to research the clinical-evolutionary features of cases of parasitic infections associated with damage of the osteo-articular system in helminthic pathologies.
The definition of metabolic syndrome is not yet consistent. However, many studies have been conducted in the latest decades about the effect of increased uric acid on metabolic syndrome development. Large epidemiological studies on the association between hyperuricemia and MS showed that increased concentration of serum urea is often observed in subjects with metabolic syndrome. The aim of the study was to characterize specific dysmetabolic changes and features of extraarticular evolution in patients with gout.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory disease of the joints, the prevalence of which is increasing in the population, leading to the emergence of new cases of the disease in young and middle-aged people, which has enormous medical and social significance. The study objective was to optimize the diagnosis and prediction of seronegative early rheumatoid arthritis outcomes by identifying the most significant clinical, laboratory and instrumental predictors of joint destruction.
