The article provides data on the epidemiology of severe asthma. It defines the phenotype and endotype of bronchial asthma and classifies BA according to phenotype/endotype. The features of the eosinophilic phenotype of severe bronchial asthma are considered. Clinical characteristics of the patient corresponding to the prescription of benralizumab are presented. The algorithm of decision making by a doctor-therapist about patients’ referral to a pulmonologist for consideration of the biological therapy issue is given. The results of the main clinical studies to assess the efficacy and safety of benralizumab in patients with severe eosinophilic bronchial asthma: SIROCCO, CALIMA, ZONDA, BORA are described. The experience of using various biological preparations for the treatment of severe asthma in Chelyabinsk and the Chelyabinsk Region has also been summarized.

Based on an analysis of John Exner’s peer-reviewed published work from 1959 to 2007, plus a brief comment for an editorial in Rorschachiana, the author draws a comprehensive picture of the scientific work of this outstanding personality. The article is divided into three sections: (1) the experimental studies on the Rorschach, (2) the clinical studies using the Rorschach, and (3) Exner’s “testament,” which we draw from the last paper he saw published before his death (Exner, 2001/2002). The experimental studies were aimed at better understanding the nature of the test, in particular the respective roles of perception and projection in the response process. These fundamental studies led to a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms involved in the Rorschach responses and introduced some hypotheses about the intentions of the author of the test. The latter were subsequently confirmed by the preparatory sketches and documents of Hermann Rorschach, which today can be seen at the H. Rorschach Archives and Museum in Bern (Switzerland). Exner’s research has evidenced the notion that the Rorschach is a perceptive-cognitive-projective test.
