With these findings, we consequently propose that G. galactosidasius and G. yumthangensis should be reclassified as Parageobacillus galactosidasius comb. nov. and Parageobacillus yumthangensis comb. nov.The article discusses results of secondary analysis of the data obtained in the SPRINT study and published in recent years. Unresolved issues in the tactics of managing patients with arterial hypertension are discussed. One of such issues is choosing an optimum level of blood pressure (BP) for a subgroup of patients with certain characteristics, including elderly and senile patients, patients with chronic kidney disease, and patients with arterial hypertension who continue smoking. The article discusses calculation of a threshold of risk for complications of cardiovascular diseases, at which a maximum advantage of intensified regimens of antihypertensive therapy could be achieved. In addition, the article addresses approaches to selection of antihypertensive drugs in the current conditions. The authors discussed the role of candesartan in the treatment of arterial hypertension, a sartan most studied in a broad range of patients. The issue of a rapid increase in BP without a damage to target organs is addressed; evidence for the role of captopril in such clinical situation is provided.BACKGROUND Obesity imposes a substantial economic burden on the United States. The short-term value of nonsurgical weight loss (WL) and nonsurgical sustained WL (i.e., WL not resulting from bariatric surgery) is poorly understood. OBJECTIVES To assess short-term (1 year) effect of nonsurgical WL and sustained nonsurgical WL (i.e., approximately 2 years) on per-patient-per-month (PPPM) total all-cause health care costs among adults with obesity in the United States. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed data from the IBM MarketScan Explo
