A separate problem is the treatment of hypertension in patients with COVID-19. The presence of a history of hypertension in patients with COVID-19 was associated with a more severe course of infection, in contrast to patients who did not have hypertension. According to modern concepts, during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with hypertension should carefully monitor their blood pressure levels and take constantly prescribed medications. This also applies to the use of so-called blockers of the renin-angiotensin system for the treatment of patients with hypertension: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers. A number of recent studies show that these groups of drugs not only do not increase the risk of infection with the virus, but also significantly improve the course of coronavirus disease.
The most common diseases associated with hypertension include: obesity, primarily abdominal obesity (AO), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), arrhythmias and conduction disorders, chronic kidney disease (CKD), cerebrovascular diseases , joint diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sleep apnea syndrome, thyroid disease and other endocrine diseases. In this regard, the 2018 European Society of Hypertension and European Society of Cardiology guidelines emphasized the need for careful stratification of cardiovascular and overall risk of complications in order to select the most optimal antihypertensive therapy.
Ингибиторы JAK ( тофацитиниб и др.) селективно влияют на внутриклеточную сигнальную систему JAK/STAT, опосредующую действие многих цитокинов, участвующих в патогенезе неспецифического язвенного колита. В отличие от генно-инженерных биологических препаратов, ингибиторы янус-киназа представляют собой низкомолекулярные синтетические средства, предназначенные для перорального приема. Тофацитиниб рекомендуют назначать пациентам с тяжелым и среднетяжелым течением неспецифического язвенного колита. Ингибиторы JAK могут нарушать вирусный иммунитет. Рекомендуется использовать низкую эффективную дозу для поддержания ремиссии: по возможности 5 мг, вместо 10 мг, два раза в день. Избегайте применения тофацитиниба во время пандемии, если нет других альтернатив. Это позволит пациентам избежать возможных побочных эффектов и частого наблюдения за патологией.
The criteria for assessing their own health by young people (25-44 years old - according to the WHO classification) were distributed as follows: almost half of the respondents, regardless of gender, rated their own health as "good"; every 4th of those surveyed - as "very good"; “Mediocre” health was noted by every fifth woman and every tenth person; almost the same was the proportion of respondents who rated their own health as “bad”; the level of subjective assessment of "excellent health" was observed in every tenth man, while in women it was absent.
