Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public hospital(s). Main funding source(s): Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution Research Institute for Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases Introduction The purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of NMES in patients with complications after cardiac surgery. Methods This study was 37 patients who had significant postoperative complications after cardiovascular surgery. Participants were randomly - NMES group, n = 18; control, n = 19. It was not possible to blind the investigator. Analyzed basic clinical data. The dynamometry of the muscles upper and lower extremities was carried out, as well as a 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Also, the thickness of the quadriceps was measured using ultrasound.The patients underwent NMES on the quadriceps femoris muscle, daily from the third postoperative day, until discharge. The duration session was 90 minutes. Outcomes No differences were found in the baseline characteristics of the groups, including the results of laboratory and instrumental studies. Groups were comparable in the surgery and perioperative parameteres. The initial strength indicators also had no significant differences in the groups. At discharge knee extensors strength (KES) was significantly higher in the NMES group. The knee flexor strength (KFS) and handgrip strength (HF) increased the same in both groups. The quadriceps crosssectional area (CSA) muscle increased more in the NEMS group than in the control to the time of discharge. Average KES increased to a greater extent in the NMES group. At the same time, average and maximum KFS increased equally in both groups. A 6MWT before discharge did not show a difference between groups (P=.166). The NMES course did not affect the duration of hospitalisation (P=.429).

Background:Numerous joint disorders initially produce swelling in a single joint and new onset monoartritis will probably further lead to the involvement of other joint groups and development of extraarticular manifestations. It is essential to take a proper diagnostic approach for organizing appropriate treatment and lowering possibility of disease progression.Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate joint distribution, determine rheumatological diseases of patients with acute monoarthritis and reveal the development of further systemic manifestations.Methods:100 patients (age 18-75 years) with clinically apparent monoarthritis of less than 6 weeks duration were included in the study. Criteria of exclusion were infection, trauma and crystal induced arthritis. Joint distribution, presence of systemic manifestations and development of chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease were evaluated. Presence of arthritis was proved with help of ultrasound examination. Complete blood count, ESR, CRP, RF, anti-CCP; HLAB27; MEFV mutations and X-ray of swollen joint were performed for all patients. Temperature was also measured.Results:Mean age of patients with acute monoarthritis was 46±13 years. Female predominance was noted (61%). 71% of patients had elevated ESR, 69%- CRP. In 24% of cases homozygous or heterozygous mutations of MEFV gene were revealed. 21% of patients had positive RF and 18% - anti-CCP. 11% patients carried HLA-B27 antigen. 28% of examined patients had subfebril fever. Hepatosplenomegaly was determined in 16%, uveitis in 5%, psoriatic plaque in 4%, interstitial pneumonia in 2% of casesAt the baseline 82 patients were diagnosed with rheumatologically disease.

Though FMF is not considered as a frequent cause of acute monoarthritis, more attention should be paid on this pathology in focus of monoarthritis, especially in specific for FMF region. Further follow up of acute monoarthritis progression is needed.References:[1]A. Becker, J. Daily, K. Pohlgeers. Acute Monoarthritis: Diagnosis in Adults.Am Fam Physician 2016; 94(10): 810-816[2]S.

Abstract Introduction Use of telemedicine platforms for conducting CBTI has the potential to reach more patients than in person treatment alone. While CBTI has been shown to be effective in older adults, questions about proficiency with technology and preference for treatment modality have not been addressed. Methods Baseline data from participants in the RCT of the Effectiveness of Stepped-Care Sleep Therapy In General Practice (RESTING) study were used. Analyses compared CBTI treatment modality preference (in person, online [video platform], no preference) across the following variables: insomnia severity (Insomnia Severity Index; ISI), depression (Geriatric Depression Scale; GDS), cognitive functioning (telephone-based cognitive screen) and internet proficiency (IP; assessing comfort with and frequency of internet use). Data collected prior to the pandemic-shut down (March 2020) were utilized for the primary analysis of treatment preference; n=71, mean age = 62.5 (SD = 8.1); 64.8% female; treatment preferences: in person (33.8%), no preference (25.4%), online (40.8%). A secondary analysis compared IP data from participants with baseline data from pre-pandemic (Nov 2019-Feb 2020, n=71), early pandemic (March-June 2020, n=28), and late pandemic (the most recent four months of enrollment, July 2020-Nov 2020, n=40) periods. Results Pre-pandemic, age was not significantly associated with treatment modality preference, nor any baseline clinical characteristics or demographic variables (p’s >.01). Only ‘comfort’ and ‘comfort+frequency’ scores from the internet proficiency measure differed significantly between treatment preference groups (p’s<.002). Post-hoc analyses revealed the online group had significantly higher comfort and comfort+frequency scores than the in person group (p’s<. 003). Comparing data from pre-pandemic, early pandemic, and late pandemic, frequency of internet use and comfort+frequency with internet use differed across groups (p’s <.004). Post-hoc comparisons revealed frequency of internet use scores were higher in the late pandemic compared to pre-pandemic (p=.003). Conclusion These findings suggest that comfort using technology, but not age or clinical characteristics, is associated with treatment modality preference for patients with insomnia who are enrolled in a technology-based clinical trial of CBTI. As proficiency in use of technology increases, for example, during and following the pandemic, one can expect that telemedicine will be an increasingly viable approach to providing CBTI among older adults.
