Long Acting Muscarinic Antagonists (LAMA) such as tiotropium and glycopyrronium are used in the management of COPD1. They have been shown to improve lung function, quality of life and exercise tolerance. They have also been associated with reduced COPD-related exacerbations, associated hospitalisati...ons and duration of hospital stay. Both the South African Thoracic Society (SATS) and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), guidelines recommend the use of long acting anticholinergic drugs (or long acting beta agonists) in moderate to very severe disease as defined by lung function (FEV1). The most up to date guideline, utilizing the GRADE methodology (European Respiratory Society guidelines of 2017), confirms their superiority over long acting β agonists (LABA) as monotherapy for COPD in that LAMA's have demonstrated greater efficacy in terms of exacerbation reduction, with similar safety profile.2 These recommnedations are supported by published peer-reviewed
evidence including individual papers and Cochrane reviews.

В качестве социальных предикторов, определяющих рост частоты психических заболеваний, рассматривают процессы урбанизации, стрессогенные события и другие социал...ные тенденции современного мира. Отмечается их прямая связь с манифестацией психических расстройств, в том числе шизофренией. Наиболее подвержены психическим расстройствам лица, находящиеся в неблагоприятной жизненной ситуации или малоимущие. По тяжести социальных последствий и по нарушению адаптации шизофрения продолжает лидировать в психиатрии. Течение шизофрении является одним из основных клинических предикторов медицинского и социального прогноза. Проведенное исследование устанавливает, что клинические предикторы, определяющие тяжесть состояния больных с незлокачественным течением шизофрении, не являются облигатными в социализации данной категории больных.
