A new marker for the development of preeclampsia is an avalanche-like increase in fetal cells in the mother's blood
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to research cells of trophoblast in the blood of pregnant
women. Materials and methods: The research was done in maternity hospital of Medical University
Clinic. We took sample venous blood from patients with normal pregnancy and from patients with
preeclampsia. The blood was taken from 20 patients since 31 week till 34 week of pregnancy. 10
women were included in the control group. Native smears were prepared and processed in the
Leishman retainer. After smears were stained according Romanovsky-Giemsa. Light microscopy
was performed with increased 1000. Results: there are 10 patients in blood smears were found cells
of trophoblast. In the smears of control group we didn't find them. Conclusion: the cells of
trophoblast are new marker of preeclampsia. We believe that detection cells of trophoblast in the
blood from pregnant women can be used in the fight against high rate of maternal and child
mortality.

The need for pre-contact information for persons planning to become sexually active
Abstract
The average age of sexual debut is currently 16 years. Lack of sex education, early age, refusal of adults to talk with children on this topic are the reasons for the negative consequences of unprotected sexual intercourse not only in adolescence, but also in adulthood. Informing the population about risk factors for human reproductive health is an integral part of preventive work in matters of sex education and the formation of sexual culture in society.
Abortion: a modern approach to the diagnosis and treatment of hemostasis defects associated with obstetric pathology
Abstract
In the last decade, more and more studies have reported the presence of congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in patients suffering from complications of pregnancy and childbirth such as repeated fetal loss, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation and preeclampsia. Such pathology requires a special approach in diagnosis and therapy. Upshaw-Shulman syndrome (USS) is a rarely reported congenital form of TTP resulting from mutations in the ADAMTS13 metalloproteinase gene that cleaves von Willebrand factor (vWF). ADAMTS13 deficiency potentiates vascular microthrombosis caused by the retention of ultrahigh molecular weight vWF multimers in the bloodstream. According to recent studies involving pregnant women, the heterogeneity of manifestations has made it difficult to diagnose this pathology. The aim of the study is to analyze the relevance of the diagnosis of the ADAMTS13 genetic defect in Upshaw-Shulman syndrome, to determine the practicality and productivity of technologies used for the treatment of emerging obstetric complications. A review of modern Russian and foreign, mainly English-language, literature on the diagnosis and treatment of congenital TTP, as well as the prevention of concomitant complications of pregnancy and childbirth, was conducted. This review will highlight the main pathogenetic mechanisms of progression of Upshaw-Shulman syndrome, current trends in the management of patients suffering from reproductive insufficiency in association with the syndrome, and characterize modern groups of pharmacological drugs of choice. Pregnancy with Upshaw-Shulman syndrome will become one of the main areas of obstetric development in the coming years, further associative and high-quality research is needed to form the best therapeutic innovations and opportunities in the future.
A clinical case of rupture of angiomyolipoma of the kidney in the early postpartum period
Abstract
Angiomyolipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor consisting of blood vessels, smooth muscle cells and mature adipose tissue in different proportions [1,2]. The causes of its development are currently not fully clear. There is evidence of a high content of estrogen and progesterone receptors in the tumor [3]. Apparently, this is why angiomyolipoma affects women 2.6–10 times more often, this also explains the rapid growth of the tumor during pregnancy and the high probability of its rupture during this period, and there is no correlation between the size and probability of tumor rupture [3]. We believe that the presence of progesterone receptors in the angiomyolipome is also due to the inability to use progesterone preparations, which are recommended for maintaining pregnancy and are widely prescribed at various gestation periods — the use of these drugs can cause the growth of an undiagnosed tumor.

Pharmacotherapy of algodismenorrhea in premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea, aggravated by neuropsychiatric disorders
Abstract
According to the study, analgesics used to relieve premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhea (DM) against the background of symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders (DDTS) are most often used metamizole sodium+pitefenone+fepiverinium bromide, drotaverine+caffeine+naproxen+paracetamol+pheniramine, drotaverine, ibuprofen and nimesulide.
Pathological features of the placenta in intrapartum fetal death
Abstract
Introduction. Intrapartum fetal death occupies a special place in the structure of stillbirth. Despite the current level of medical development, most of the causes of fetal death remain unexplained. The goal of this study was to analyze the morphological structure of the placenta during pregnancy complicated by intrapartum fetal death. Materials and methods. We analyzed 136 cases of intrapartum fetal death of women treated at obstetric and gynecological hospitals in the Kursk region for the period 2021-2022. The women were divided into groups according to the gestation period. We performed a morphological examination of the placenta in the postpartum period. Statistical correlation was performed by using the Spearman coefficient in the SPSS Statistics program. Results. The features of the morphological structure of the placenta in accordance with the period of antenatal death were revealed. Earlier fetal death was associated with less pronounced compensatory reactions of the placenta and the presence of acute placental insufficiency. Conclusions. Findings on the etiology of stillbirth can be obtained by examining the morphological structure of the placenta and used in the development of preventive measures for the management of pregnancies with a high risk of intrapartum fetal death.
Assisted reproductive technologies
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of new assisted reproductive technologies necessary to achieve pregnancy in women facing infertility problems.
Materials and methods consist of an analysis of the experience of leading domestic and foreign experts in the field of reproductive technologies. The use of the NGS genetic testing method makes it possible to simultaneously determine aneuploidies and unbalanced chromosomal pathologies of the embryo. The use of preimplantation genetic testing of structural rearrangements (PGT-SP) makes it possible to effectively exclude the presence of chromosomal pathology in embryos of patients with karyotype aberrations.
Conclusions. The effectiveness of therapy methods in preparing patients for assisted reproductive technologies depends on the individual characteristics of the patients.
Clinical experience of using organ-preserving surgery for placenta accreta in a patient with monochorionic diamniotic twins
Abstract
Introduction. The main reason why researchers and practitioners are interested in such an anomaly as placenta accreta is the risk of massive postpartum hemorrhage due to the inability to separate the placenta, which has grown into the uterine wall. A hysterectomy is often required to correct this bleeding. Placenta accreta also increases the risk of pelvic organ damage, coagulopathy, and maternal and perinatal mortality. Aim. Study of a clinical case of a patient with monochorionic diamniotic twins and placenta accreta, as well as methods of delivery. Materials and methods. The successful clinical experience of organ-preserving surgical treatment of placenta accreta carried out at the Perinatal Center in Simferopol, excluding the stage of bottom caesarean section, is presented. Results. Pregnant N., hospitalized in the department of pathology of pregnant women of the Perinatal Center in Simferopol due to the development of placental dysfunction (3rd degree of disturbance of placental circulation (combined disturbance of utero-placental and fetal-placental blood flow)). Observation and treatment were carried out for 20 days in the conditions of the pregnancy pathology department of the Perinatal Center in Simferopol. Taking into account the CTG conclusion (deceleration in the 2nd fetus up to 60 beats/min), the ultrasound conclusion (impaired blood flow grade 1B in the 1st fetus, impaired blood flow grade 3 (critical) in the 2nd fetus with reverse venous blood flow), as well as antenatal distress of both fetuses , the decision was made to complete the birth by emergency caesarean section at 31 weeks and 4 days. Pfannenstiel laparotomy, corporal cesarean section, metroplasty, and surgical sterilization were performed at the patient's request. Two female fetuses were recovered. Due to prematurity, the children were transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit. The mother and children were discharged on the 7th day after surgery in satisfactory condition. Conclusions. Our example proves the possibility of successfully performing organ-preserving surgery - metroplasty - in a pregnant woman with monochorionic diamniotic twins and placenta accreta.

Features of papillary patterns of the palmar surface of the nail phalanges of the brush, depending on gender
Abstract
The study of the relationship between the features of the ridge patterns of fingers and gender has been of interest to scientists for a long time, however, the works found in the available literature are few, and the results presented in them differ. The aim of the study was to study the characteristics of papillary patterns of the palmar surface of the nail phalanges of the hand, depending on gender. In accordance with the purpose of the work, images of papillary patterns of the palmar surface of the distal phalanges of ten fingers of 72 subjects of both sexes aged 18-22 years were obtained. The type of pattern, the delta index, the comb count of each finger of both hands, the total comb count separately for the right and left hands, and the Volotsky index were determined. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the licensed StstMed program. In this work, some qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the patterns of the ridge skin of the fingers, depending on gender, are established. In the course of the work, no statistically significant differences were found between some quantitative characteristics of the papillary patterns of the palmar surface of the nail phalanges of the fingers of the hand in representatives of different sexes.
Variant anatomy of the terminal sections of the common bile and main (Virsung) ducts of the pancreas
Abstract
Currently, new approaches and methods of surgical treatment of diseases of the pancreas are rapidly developing, and therefore knowledge of the variant anatomy of its main ducts is of great practical importance. Goal. To study the variant anatomy of the end sections of the OGP and the main (Virsung) ducts of the pancreas, to analyze the data obtained by gender and age. Materials and methods. Variants of the topography of the common bile duct and main duct, their age and sexual characteristics were studied on 27 anatomical preparations and 125 MRI scans of the pancreas. Results. We measured the diameter of the Virsung duct in the head of the pancreas, the diameter of the common bile duct at the entrance to the pancreas and near the ampoule and the length of its pancreatic section, and also measured the angle between the common bile duct and the Virsung duct before connecting them into the ampoule. The data obtained in different age groups of men and women were compared. Anatomical preparations revealed two variants of atypical relationships of ducts in the head of the pancreas. Conclusions. The length of the intra-pancreatic part and the diameter of the common bile duct at the entrance to the pancreas were larger in men. The diameter of the Virsung duct and the diameter of the common bile duct at the confluence into the ampoule were more often larger in women. An increase in the diameter of the common bile duct was observed with age in both sexes.
Changes in the topography of organs and walls of the pelvis and abdominal cavity in advanced ovarian cancer
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. Ovarian cancer reaches 46% and ranks 7th in terms of prevalence. The high incidence of late detection of ovarian cancer is reflected in the topographic and anatomical features of the grate and, in particular, small pelvic organs.
The goal of this study is to study changes in the topographic anatomy of the abdominal and pelvic cavities in advanced ovarian cancer.
Materials and methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records of 45 women of different age groups with established advanced forms of ovarian cancer stages III and IV. During the study, we conducted a clinical analysis of the relationship of tumor tissue to neighboring organs and the walls of the pelvis.
Results: The most common anatomical changes were the posterior Douglas pouch, small and large intestine. Often, the process involved the ligaments that provide the fixing apparatus of the uterus and the rectosigmoid part of the large intestine. Less commonly, the diaphragm, mesentery of the small intestine, liver and bladder were involved in the adhesive process.
Conclusion: After a retrospective analysis, it was found that advanced ovarian cancer is a truly serious cause of changes in the topography of the abdominal and pelvic organs. As a result, entry into the abdominal cavity and pelvis is difficult, and surgical teams are faced with serious technical difficulties, which increases the volume of the operation and the time spent on it.
Key words: ovarian cancer; metastasis; germination; pelvic topography

Progress over the past 20 years in the score and score2 scales for assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Evaluation of the effectiveness of score 2 in determining the overall cardiovascular risk.
Abstract
Approximately 50% of deaths are attributed to cardiovascular diseases both in Europe and in the Russian Federation, where over 1 million people die annually, which is 3-4 orders of magnitude higher than in Western countries. For example, at present, about 40 million hypertensive patients have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications due to the unattainable effective control of blood pressure, as there is a known correlation between risk groups and the frequency of cardiovascular diseases. It has been found that the lowest level of this risk is observed in the age group from 20 to 29 years, increasing by 20% in the age group from 40 to 49 years and almost 30% in the age group from 50 to 59 years. This same dynamics of cardiovascular diseases is also influenced by smoking among patients and the presence of comorbidity, which includes the presence of atherosclerosis with concomitant hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, the aforementioned arterial hypertension, history of strokes and heart attacks, etc. Preventive direction becomes a dominant trend in cardiology and medicine as a whole. Based on these data, there was a need to create a method that could assess the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the consequences of its impact on men’s reproductive health
Abstract
Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on population health. Despite the large amount of research on this problem, a number of open questions remain, including those related to male reproductive health. The presented thesis briefly summarizes the data on the impact of COVID-19 on male reproductive function. Male infertility is not only a medical and biological problem, but also a social issue that requires modern solutions, as well as special attention when married couples are planning the birth of a child. The goal of this study is to review the mechanisms and prognostic significance of the effect of COVID-19 on the male reproductive system. Materials and methods. Keyword searches were carried out in the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE and elibrary. The thesis included studies reflecting the impact of COVID-19 factors on male reproductive health. Results. The main symptom of COVID-19 is an increase in body temperature, which, according to research, significantly escalates sperm aneuploid. As a result, it has an adverse effect on spermatogenesis and causes sperm DNA breakage. COVID-19 also causes oxidative stress, during which the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) rises, causing lipid peroxidation in the sperm membrane. The effect described above can induce apoptosis, disrupt the differentiation of spermatogenic cells and the course of steroidogenesis. Temperature and oxidative stress are interrelated processes, since the first provokes the occurrence and may even enhance the second one. Temperature, by provoking oxidative stress, potentially affects the level of heavy metals involved in redox cycles, where free radicals are formed. Knowing the points of application of the pathogenetic mechanisms that was described above, a field is created for further applied research and the development of therapeutic strategies and measures for the prevention of disorders of male reproductive function.

The attitude of students of VSMU named after N. N. Burdenko of oral hygiene
Abstract
Introduction. Within the framework of modern medical education, preventive measures and maintaining optimal oral health occupy a key place. This issue remains relevant among medical university students in the context of training qualified medical professionals. The goal of this study is the attitudes of students from various faculties of the Voronezh State Medical University named after N.N. Burdenko towards individual oral hygiene. Materials and Methods. The study included a survey of 225 students from the medical, pediatric, preventive medicine faculties, and students from the Institute of Dentistry of VSMU named after N.N. Burdenko on a range of issues: from the frequency of dental visits to preferences in toothpastes and teeth whitening methods. Results. Most students adhere to the recommendation to brush their teeth twice a day. However, the use of additional means, such as dental floss and mouthwashes, is not as widespread. There are differences among faculties in the frequency of dental visits, with the highest regularity observed among students of the dental faculty. Teeth whitening products are not popular, indicating a preference for natural care. Preferences in toothpaste vary, but most students choose pastes with whitening effects or for sensitive teeth, emphasizing the importance of specialized care. Conclusions. Thus, the study results reflect not only the current state of hygiene habits among medical university students but also their readiness to take responsibility for their own health, which is an important aspect of their future professional activity.

The most common device among students is a mobile phone – 53% of the respondents. 73.4% of students noted that they perform physical training pauses and eye exercises while using gadgets. Conclusion. Half of the respondents have disorders in the organ of the visual apparatus and are currently aggravated by frequent and prolonged use of electronic devices, irrational sleep and rest patterns and non-compliance with hygiene rules.
Assessment of the manifestations of the measles epidemic process in Voronezh region for 1940-2023
Abstract
Relevance. Currently, immunoprophylaxis is of great importance for combating the epidemic process associated with vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. Despite the presence of actively used vaccines and the inclusion of most of these infections in the national calendar of preventive vaccinations, measles, as one of them, does not lose its importance.
The goal. To study the manifestations of the measles epidemic process in the Voronezh region for the period 1940 - the first half of 2023.
Materials and methods: general scientific, epidemiological.
Results. After the introduction of mass immunization, the incidence of measles decreased significantly and was predominantly sporadic. However, from 2011 to June 2023, the incidence increased from 0.27 cases (CI 0.06-0.48) to 0.31 cases (CI 0.08-0.54) per 100 thousand population. The highest average annual growth rate was observed in 2014 (658.82%), 2018 (425.00%), 2012 (395.59%) and 2019 (228.57%), while the highest rate of decline was in 2020 (-100 .00%), 2015 (-89.92%), 2013 (-87.22%), 2016 (69.23%). The largest proportion of cases were children and males. During the study period, 61 outbreaks (104 cases) of measles were registered.
Conclusion. The incidence of measles over the last thirteen years had an uneven distribution and was characterized by a pronounced upward trend, which is due to the prevalence in the structure of persons with an unknown vaccination history (45.19%) and unvaccinated (39.42%).
Vitamins in the Modern World: Knowledge, Practices, Influence of Information Resources, and Advertising on Consumption and Choice
Abstract
Abstract: The study evaluates the influence of awareness and knowledge levels regarding vitamins on the practice of consuming vitamins and their complexes among different age groups of the population. Research methods included voluntary anonymous surveying of 204 individuals both in pharmacies and online. The results indicate insufficient public awareness about the rational consumption of vitamins and the potential negative consequences of incorrect selection or excessive consumption. Among respondents in the age group of 19-26 years, only 35 out of 107 had their blood tested for vitamin levels, with 60 individuals being unaware of such a procedure, and 15 respondents considering it expensive. Eleven individuals prefer consuming vitamins in the form of medicinal preparations, attributing it to insufficient dietary balance. One hundred twelve individuals preferred combining medicinal preparations with natural juices, vegetables, and fruits. The scientific work emphasizes the necessity for more effective advertising, taking into account the real needs and scientifically proven facts about vitamins, to reduce the likelihood of incorrect consumption or product selection.

Results. The peaks of morbidity by month were identified; the most significant risk groups for fractures of the proximal femur were identified; the most frequent outcomes of the disease were determined. Conclusions. Due to the high importance of this nosology for the elderly and senile, it is necessary to raise awareness and unite the forces of the population, employees of medical organizations and social services in the prevention of fractures of the proximal femur.
Using cluster analysis methods to adapt specialists to professional activities in the testing laboratory center
Abstract
The study aims to determine the main factors influencing the adaptation processes of personnel in the testing laboratory center of the Federal Budgetary Institution "Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Voronezh Region". Analysis methods include hierarchical cluster analysis to assess the level of employee engagement in hygiene and motivational factors, as well as proposing preventive measures to improve motivation and maintain employee health. The research results indicate that for specialists with a hygiene profile, key factors are interpersonal relationships, working conditions, and safety, while for specialists with an epidemiological profile, reward and interpersonal relationships are important. Additionally, the age structure of employees also influences their priorities and interests, as evidenced by the identification of various factors depending on age category. These results can be used for more effective personnel management and creating conditions conducive to their adaptation and professional development.
Epidemiological analysis of serological studies for tick-borne borreliosis
Abstract
Introduction. Infectious tick-borne borreliosis is a natural focal disease caused by Borrelia and characterized by multisystem damage, a tendency to chronic and recurrent course. Lyme disease is characterized by widespread prevalence in the Russian Federation, as well as high susceptibility of people. Purpose. To analyze the incidence of borreliosis and serological data from people who sought medical help after a tick bite. Materials and methods. A six-year retrospective analysis of the incidence of borreliosis and referrals for tick bites was carried out using registration forms No. 2 for 2017-2022. and according to laboratory data. Results. The highest rate of appeals from the population regarding tick bites was registered in Ternovsky, Bogucharsky and Ostrogozhsky districts; in 3 administrative territories no complaints were registered (Nizhnedevitsky, Petropavlovsky, Kashirsky). The incidence of tick-borne borreliosis in the region over 6 years was 0.64 per 10 thousand population, exceeding the long-term average for the Russian Federation by 1.8 times. The proportion of positive samples from the total number of tested blood serum samples was 4.56±0.65%, IgM and IgG were determined in the summer months. Conclusions. The number of visits from the population regarding tick bites tends to decrease; the incidence of Lyme disease exceeds the Russian average. The largest proportion of positive tests for borreliosis in relation to the number of people who applied for tick bites was registered among residents of Bobrovsky, Verkhnekhavasky and Ternovsky districts. Areas have been identified where there is no registration of cases of tick attacks, as well as areas where there are no positive results of serological studies.

In the male group, the situation did not have statistically significant differences: 48% of students follow three meals a day, 48% exercise, and 67% consume enough water. The analysis of self-assessment and body mass index did not reveal statistically significant differences between the groups. In men, the average percentage of total fat was 27% less than in women, while the percentage of visceral fat in men was 27% higher compared to women. Conclusions. These results highlight the importance of taking gender differences into account when designing healthy lifestyle programs for young people.
Analysis of lung cancer incidence in the Russian Federation
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. Lung cancer (LC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and in 2020 was the leading cause of cancer death. Specifically, lung cancer accounts for 2.2 million (11%) new cancer cases worldwide and 1.8 million (18%) deaths. Lung cancer prevention plays a key role in controlling the disease. Raising public awareness of lung cancer, changing their behavior, habits, timely diagnostic examinations can help to reduce morbidity and mortality from this disease. Objective. To analyze the data of LC morbidity among the population in the territory of the Russian Federation for the period from 2011 to 2021. Materials and methods. Materials of domestic and foreign available literature mainly for the last 10 years. Results. As a result of the analysis of the dynamics of lung cancer incidence rates among the population of the Russian Federation, a tendency to a slight increase in the rates was established (the increase amounted to 0.6%). It is worth noting that this disease became more frequent in women, there was a 22% increase in the incidence rate in "rough indicators".
As a result of analyzing the dynamics of mortality rates of the population of the Russian Federation from lung cancer, a trend towards a decrease in mortality by 6% was established. However, the mortality of women from malignancy increased by 9%. Conclusions. Analysis of the dynamics of lung cancer morbidity in the Russian Federation for the period from 2011 to 2021 allows us to note a tendency to a slight increase in the indicators. Population awareness of this disease, as well as timely detection of the disease can lead to a decrease in morbidity and mortality from cancer.

Abstract
Introduction. The article deals with the etiology and prevention of scoliosis. According to various data, about 1% of the population is affected by scoliosis. There are many changes in the body affected by scoliosis, while it is not known whether this is the cause or consequence of this disease. Goal. To analyze the level of knowledge of medical students about the causes and prevention of scoliosis. Materials and methods. A survey of 308 medical students of various courses was conducted in the work. The average age of the respondents was 19.4±0.4 years. The study was a one-time study, the sample size was not calculated beforehand. The paper highlighted the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results. The study showed that 95% of respondents have an idea about scoliosis, about the factors that increase the risk of its development. About 50% had their spine examined, as a result, 40% of them were diagnosed with scoliosis. Almost 50% of the study participants do not carry out primary prevention of scoliosis. Conclusions. Sufficient awareness of students about risk factors and prevention of scoliosis does not affect the formation of healthy lifestyle principles in them. It is necessary to strengthen measures on the problems of hygienic education of students on scoliosis.
Health and anxiety research 2nd Paediatric Faculty Students
Abstract
Abstract. The topic of performance and anxiety is relevant among medical students, since their school day is not always standardized. In most cases, they refuse sleep in order to have time to learn the material, or go to bed late. All this affects compliance with the work and rest regime, which, if violated, does not provide full functional activity to the body. Because of this, the nervous system is overloaded, which causes a decrease in the level of performance and increased anxiety. This article offers a review of the research conducted and an analysis of its results during the study and examination periods. Target. To assess the performance and level of anxiety among 2nd year students of the Faculty of Pediatrics before and during the session. Materials and methods. The research materials used were the Spielberger questionnaire (adapted by Yu. L. Khanin), which assessed the level of reactive and personal anxiety, as well as a questionnaire assessing the level of performance. After completion of the study, an analysis of the results was carried out, recommendations were made in order to improve the performance of students and reduce anxiety during the session. Results. The study found that most students during the academic semester have a low or average level of performance and an average or high level of anxiety, and during the examination period these indicators worsen, which affects the effectiveness of preparation for exams and the emotional state of students. Conclusions. The identified level of performance among 2nd year students of the Faculty of Pediatrics showed that for the majority of respondents it was low or average. High performance is revealed only at the beginning of the semester. The results of the Spielberger questionnaire showed a fairly high level of anxiety, not only during the exam period, but also during the normal educational process.

Analysis of the dynamics of sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs in young patients
Abstract
Introduction. In modern conditions, both morphological and clinical aspects of the pathomorphosis of second-degree lung sarcoidosis in young people make it difficult to diagnose and detect it in a timely manner. The frequency of detection of this disease increased among the population after humanity suffered the covid-19 epidemic, and therefore this autoimmune disease of unknown etiology needs further in-depth study. The goal of this study is to evaluate the dynamics of second degree lung sarcoidosis in patients of a separate age group in order to analyze the effectiveness of treatment with α-tocopherol drugs and the predisposition of the young body to remission. Materials and methods. The data on the activity of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme were collected, processed and analyzed to establish the presence of an acute degree of the disease, as well as a comparative analysis of the results of computed tomograms of mediastinal organs in sixteen studied patients, in accordance with the accuracy of the experiment according to the method by K. A. Otdelnova. Results. It was revealed that over time, after appropriate treatment, in young patients with lung sarcoidosis, the number of foci of inflammation in the pulmonary parenchyma significantly decreased, and the acute phase of the disease naturally turned into a chronic one. Conclusions. The positive dynamics of the disease has been established in people who do not have pronounced symptomatic manifestations of the disease and have been taking alpha-tocopherol drugs for a long time.

Abstract
Introduction. The first place among the causes of overall mortality in Russia since 1972 is occupied by diseases of the cardiovascular system. Arterial hypertension is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, which in Russia occurs in 39.7% of the population. Awareness of patients with arterial hypertension about the presence of the disease in the country is 81.1%. The goal of this study is to identify students' awareness of the need to prevent arterial hypertension. Materials and methods. Research of literary sources, research of Internet resources, creation of questionnaires for students, analysis of survey results. Results. As part of the work, a survey was conducted among 68 students of the Astrakhan State Medical University, aged from 18 to 27 years, on students' awareness of the need to prevent arterial hypertension. Normal blood pressure, according to students, is 120/80 mm Hg. Blood pressure levels are affected by age, stress, heredity, concomitant diseases and lifestyle. Prevention of arterial hypertension includes physical activity during the day, walking in the fresh air and reducing stress factors. Conclusions. Thus, it was found that students were aware of arterial hypertension. Most of the students surveyed believe that this is a planned prevention of arterial hypertension, for which it is necessary to maintain physical activity, promptly treat concomitant diseases and take walks in the fresh air.
Cardiorenal Syndrome in Individuals with Ischemic Heart Disease
Abstract
Introduction. Cardiorenal syndrome is a relatively new clinical concept. Research on this syndrome is highly relevant due to its widespread prevalence. The existence of the cardiorenal continuum links the dysfunction of the heart and kidneys. Objective. To identify the presence of cardiorenal syndrome in the studied patients. Materials and Methods. This study analyzed the medical records of inpatients in the cardiology department of the Gomel City Clinical Hospital No. 2. Patients were divided into 3 groups. Indicators of the functional state of the kidneys and the cardiovascular system were analyzed. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the "Microsoft Excel 2010" and "STATISTICA 10.0" programs ("StatSoft, Inc"). Results. The appearance of microalbuminuria was noted only in the 3rd group. An assessment of cardiovascular risk was conducted in patients with chronic kidney disease. Statistically significant differences in the studied indicators were found in patients of the 1st and 3rd groups regarding urea (p=0.030), AST (p=0.009), ESR (p=0.011), and CRP (p=0.018). A moderate positive correlation was found between systolic blood pressure and creatine kinase-MB (r=0.50; p=0.05) in patients of the 2nd group, and a high positive correlation between the same indicators (r=0.77; p=0.05) in patients of the 3rd group. Conclusions. Patients with ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension showed a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, urine density, microalbuminuria, an increase in the concentration of creatinine and urea, indicating the presence of cardiorenal syndrome. According to our data, the greatest severity of this syndrome was observed in patients with arterial hypertension and myocardial infarction.
Integrated approach in the treatment of endocrine diseases
Abstract
Introduction. Any disease should be considered not as a suffering of one particular organ, but as a problem of the whole organism.

The effect of physical rehabilitation on the level of proinflammatory cytokines in patients with HF and metabolic syndrome
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the final pathophysiological stage of the cardiovascular continuum. The prevalence of this syndrome both in the Russian Federation and in the world is increasing and leads to an increase in economic losses. This is due to both frequent hospitalization and high patient mortality. Goal. To study the features of the clinical course of CHF in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). To evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive cardiorehabilitation program for patients with CHF and MS on indicators of proinflammatory status (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6). Materials and methods. The study included 124 people diagnosed with CHF – 60 men (48.4%) and 64 women (51.6%), the average age of patients was 64.50±0.73 years. Subsequently, all patients with CHF were divided into 2 groups based on the presence or absence of signs of MS. The first group consisted of 61 patients with CHF without MS, of whom 29 were men (47.5%) and 32 were women (52.5%), the average age was 64.90±1.01 years. The second group consisted of sixty–three patients with CHF and MS, of whom 31 were men (49.2%) and 32 were women (50.8%), the average age was 64.12±1.05 years. Results. In the group of patients with CHF and MS, against the background of physical training (the first group), OT in men significantly decreased by 6.5 cm, i.e. by 6.3% (F=6.76; p=0.0117), in women – by 6.6 cm, i.e. by 6.2% (F=32.06; p=0.0013). BMI also significantly decreased by 1.6 kg/m2 (by 5%, p<0.001). Against the background of physical rehabilitation, the study showed a positive dynamics of lipid profile indicators with a tendency to be statistically significant in patients of the first group. In the second group of patients, the dynamics of lipid profile indicators after 12 months of follow-up was significantly negative: the level of TG increased by 0.3 mmol/l (F=26.78; p<0.001), the level of HDL cholesterol decreased by 0.21 mmol/l (F=26.27; p<0.001), the level of LDL cholesterol increased by 0.35 mmol/l (F=44.74; p<0.001). The analysis of the TSH data revealed a significant dynamics of the growth of tolerance to FN in the first group of patients with CHF and MS: an increase of 41.0 m (F=7.28; p=0.0090). In the second group of patients, there was a significant negative change in tolerance to FN according to TSH: a decrease of 20.0 m (F=6.73; p=0.0118). In patients with CHF and MS, against the background of physical rehabilitation, a decrease in the level of indicators of the proinflammatory cytokine profile was obtained with a tendency to a statistically significant one. Conclusions. In patients with CHF and MS, compared with patients without MS, there is a lower tolerance to FN, a higher activity of the systemic inflammatory response, which causes more pronounced clinical symptoms of CHF and increased cardiovascular remodeling.

In 2021 on the territory of the Russian Federation there were 88 emergencies of biologo-social character, with 146 people affected. In 2022, the number of biohazard emergencies on the territory of the CFD was 16% of the total number. Conclusions. The increase in emergencies of biological and social character can lead to the spread of infectious diseases and loss of life. Thus, the determining factors affecting the number of emergencies of biological and social character, as well as their manifestations, are: the prevalence of COVID-19, the presence of restrictive measures, the level of development of the RCHS forces, as well as medical services, the intensity of anti-epidemic and preventive measures.
Consequences of the accident at the «Mir" mine
Abstract
Summary
Relevance. Emergencies are increasingly plaguing humanity. Man-made accidents are of
deep concern, because with the general growth of the population, the number of emergencyhazardous objects increases proportionally, which can potentially become hotbeds of emergencies
and lead to disaster. Over time, understanding of this problem led to the creation of the RSChS, the
main tasks of which are emergency prevention and liquidation of its consequences. The Russian
Federation regularly develops sets of measures of various directions in order to prevent the
occurrence of emergency situations. But all efforts are in vain if you do not follow basic safety
principles. For evidentiary purposes, the man-made disaster at the Mir kimberlite pipe in Yakutia
was taken as a tragic example of what happens when these principles are neglected. Target. Conduct
an analysis of the work carried out on the kimberlite pipe, indicate the causes of the accident, and
also note the success of the actions of the Emergency Rescue Services. Materials and methods.
Conducting an analysis of the operation of the mine to understand the causes of the accident. Results.
It turns out that the prerequisites for the disaster were present long before the incident. This was due
to natural factors in the form of the Metegero-Ichersky aquifer complex with salt water, technical
factors related to the design of the “dry conservation” project, as well as gross violations of safety
regulations throughout the entire period of operation of the mine. Conclusions. During the analysis,
it turns out that any man-made accident has a root cause, the delay of which leads to irrevocable.
losses.
Peculiarities of first aid to ophthalmologic victims at the first stage of medical evacuation
Abstract
Introduction. The relevance of first aid on the battlefield is growing every year. A person, finding himself in the center of military operations, acquires risks of injuries of various etiologies. The visual analyzer is not an exception due to low protection. The purpose of the work is to determine the sequence of actions in eye traumatization. The literature on ophthalmology and first aid techniques and federal data were used as materials and methods. Results. A wide variety of etiologic factors are capable of causing both open and closed injuries of various genesis. The risks of subsequent complications associated with the spread of infection are high. Correct actions at different stages of medical and sanitary evacuation can preserve not only color perception and color vision of the victim in the course of further rehabilitation, but also subject vision. First aid includes not only local treatment, but also correct application of binocular dressing. Conclusion. Knowledge of the correct sequence of actions during the first stage of medical evacuation can preserve the correct anatomy and physiology of the eye, reduce the risks of enucleation.
Matrix of Varton's umbilical cord jelly as an integrative-reservoir medium biologically active substances
Abstract
Introduction. For military and civilian healthcare, it is very important to have medical devices that can accelerate wound healing. The creation of such products by tissue engineering technologies requires the selection of a homologous biomaterial with regenerative components. Such biomaterial is the human umbilical cord of extraembryonic origin. The study of the composition of cell-free matrices from the human umbilical cord contributes to the development of effective tissue-engineered products designed to stimulate regeneration. The goal of this study is to evaluate the preservation of regenerative components of the stroma of human umbilical cord Warton's stool after its decellularisation. Materials and methods. Human umbilical cord tissue was used for matrix fabrication by decellularisation method. To obtain the stored form of the product, cell-free umbilical cord matrix was lyophilised. Matrix and native umbilical cord samples were subjected to standard microdissection techniques. The amount of DNA was estimated by spectrophotometry. For immunohistochemical study, tissues were incubated with different antibodies directed against human laminin, type IV collagen, fibronectin, TGF-β3 and VEGF. Results. The content of residual DNA in the matrix was 21.8±5.0 ng/mg, which is significantly lower than the DNA values in native umbilical cord (506.8±39.1 ng/mg). The presence of such biologically active substances as type IV collagen, laminin, fibronectin, as well as growth factors TGF-β3 and VEGF, which play an important role in regeneration processes, was revealed. Conclusions. Decellularisation of Warton's umbilical cord stool tissue with 0.05% sodium dodecyl sulphate solution for 24 hours effectively removes cells and DNA and preserves regenerative components, which can be used to develop tissue-engineered cell-free products.
Search for new options to improve the treatment of pelvic organ injuries in civilian gunshot wounds sustained in localized armed conflicts
Abstract
Introduction. Unfortunately, armed conflicts still do not cease to occur in the modern world. There is no doubt that under such conditions not only military personnel directly involved in hostilities, but also the civilian population is injured. The aim of the study was to search for new options to improve the treatment of pelvic organ injuries in gunshot wounds of the civilian population received in the conditions of localized armed conflict. Materials and Methods. The study included 112 wounded and civilian population who received gunshot wounds in the pelvic region. The injured in different periods of armed conflicts were included: on the territory of Grozny (Chechen Republic) in the period from 2000 to 2003 and on the territory of Lugansk People's Republic, Donetsk People's Republic, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions during a special military operation. Of the total number of wounded men were 64 (57.1%), women - 48 (42.8%). Methods of descriptive statistics were used for mathematical processing. The criterion used was the criterion of agreement χ2. Results. All pelvic wounds can be conditionally divided into three groups: wounds of external genital organs, wounds of internal pelvic organs, and wounds of external genital organs and internal organs. Complications in case of wounds to this anatomical region occur in 34.8%, and lethality is 18.7%. Conclusions. The conducted analysis showed that the measures aimed at providing first aid to the wounded female patients in the pelvic region were fully rendered by medical teams, and no errors in the performance of these measures were registered, which testifies to the good training of emergency physicians.
Pain assessment in critical patients unable to communicate
Abstract
Introduction. Poor assessment of analgesic therapy in critical patients is associated with a deterioration in the prognosis of treatment and a decrease in the quality of life after discharge. One of the reasons is the lack of a unified pain assessment methodology applicable to patients who are unable to communicate, demonstrate emotions and voluntary movements. Goal. To increase the effectiveness of assessing the adequacy of analgesic therapy in critical patients who are unable to communicate. Materials and methods. Within the framework of this article, scales and methods for assessing pain in non-verbal patients are considered and analyzed: SROT, PBS, NVPS, COMFORT, RASS, ANI, PDR. Results. Their comparative analysis was carried out, the most informative criteria were identified and a modified scale for evaluating analgesic therapy was developed. Conclusions. Further study of the effectiveness of this scale is required and confirmation of the validity of the results in the conditions of anesthesiology and intensive care units, military hospitals, operating rooms.
Analysis of prospects for the use of air ambulance by the Voronezh Regional Clinical Center for Disaster Medicine
Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The paper analyzes statistical data on the use of air ambulance in the Voronezh region for the period from 2018 to 2022. The most demanded specialists departing and departing for this period on assignments of the Ministry of Health of the Voronezh region are identified.
Keywords: air ambulance, medical and sanitary support, statistics
Objective: to study the possibilities of using sanitary aviation by the Voronezh Regional Clinical Center for Disaster Medicine.
Materials and methods of research.
In the course of our work we analyzed statistical data and analytical reports of KUZ VO “VOKCMK” for the last five years in order to identify the regularity of the impact of the use of sanitary aviation on them.
Results of the study.
The most demanded in terms of support of air ambulance in the Voronezh region are specialists in the field of anesthesiology and resuscitation and the highest indicator of their work came in 2021. The second place is occupied by surgeons. A separate group of specialists of neurosurgical profile can be singled out, the presence of which is explained by the peculiarity of the structure of sanitary losses with the predominance of those affected as a result of road traffic accidents.
Conclusion.
Summarizing the above, despite the decrease in the number of Covid-19 patients, the number of air ambulance sorties has decreased insignificantly. Consequently, the need to use air ambulance in the process of medical and sanitary support continues to be an urgent task.
The current state of the problem of temporary bleeding arrest in tactical conditions (literature review)
Abstract
Introduction. The review analyzes the literature on the current state of the problem of temporary bleeding arrest and the experience of practical application of blood flow arrest techniques. Goal. To analyze the current state of the problem of temporary bleeding arrest in tactical conditions. Materials and methods. The analysis of modern domestic and foreign literature devoted to the problem of temporary bleeding arrest, experience and results of the application of the methods used to stop blood flow in tactical conditions is carried out. Results. As a result of the analysis of accumulated material on the issues of providing assistance to victims with vascular damage, stopping bleeding using a tourniquet still forms the basis of first aid in the "red" zone to victims around the world. The vast majority of published works, even over the last decade, describe various applications of harnesses, without considering the possibilities of using alternative techniques in practice, which indicates that the research topic is insufficiently developed. Conclusions. Conventional methods of temporarily stopping bleeding as part of first aid on the battlefield have their drawbacks. In this regard, it is necessary to study alternative ways to temporarily stop bleeding, which are combined with the tactical features of the "red zone" and proven algorithms for first aid, taking into account the area of injury, type of bleeding, time and method of compression, the possibility of combining different methods of temporary bleeding stop.
Suggestions for completing a first aid kit for a rescuer
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. In emergency situations, the personnel of emergency rescue units are exposed to the damaging factors of disasters. In these conditions, high-quality first aid plays a special role. Thus, to provide first aid, personnel must be provided with appropriate means that are not provided centrally. Target. Formation of the general appearance and configuration of a first aid kit for a rescuer. Materials and methods. An analysis of available medical protective equipment, legislation, literature and methodological recommendations was carried out, and information was collected in emergency rescue units. Results. Based on this, the following problems and tasks related to providing personnel with individual first aid equipment were identified. During the analysis of the AI-4 and KIMGZ first aid kits, their advantages and disadvantages were identified. An option was proposed for completing a first aid kit for a rescuer, which included two conditional blocks: the “fire, radiation, chemistry, bacteria” block and the “trauma and wounds” block. Justification was given for the choice of drugs and medical supplies included in the first aid kit. Conclusions. There is no uniform model of a first aid kit in the units; personnel are engaged in independently completing and purchasing first aid supplies; the kits have disadvantages and limitations; there is no uniformity or centralized supply of units with first aid kits. Existing first aid kits have critical shortcomings. Taking them into account, we have proposed an option for completing a first aid kit for a rescuer, which meets all the requirements.

IID in rheumatology: spondyloarthritis-associated cluster and amyloidosis
Abstract
Introduction. Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic systemic immunoinflammatory disease characterised by involvement of the sacroiliac joints and/or joints of the spine. The most common extraaxial manifestations include involvement of peripheral small joints, entheses, inflammatory bowel disease, and iridocyclitis. Secondary systemic amyloidosis is considered one of the most severe and prognostically unfavourable complications of ankylosing spondylitis. The relevance of the problem is due to the difficulty of early diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis and the lack of clear diagnostic criteria for making this diagnosis. Objective. To study the peculiarities of ankylosing spondylitis course against the background of developed secondary amyloidosis of internal organs. Materials and methods. In the course of the work we analysed the current medical literature and retrospective analysis of the patient's medical history of the Voronezh Regional Clinical Hospital No.1. The data were systematised and arranged with the help of MS Office software package. Results. The clinical case of the patient who was on in-patient treatment in the Voronezh Regional Clinical Hospital No.1 was analysed. The progression of multiorgan failure on the background of the conducted pathogenetic and symptomatic therapy was revealed. Conclusions. The described clinical case demonstrates a special complexity of treatment of ankylosing spondylitis with developed secondary amyloidosis of internal organs.
A clinical case of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Difficulties in diagnosis
Abstract
Conduction. Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) is a combination of two or more autoimmune diseases of the endocrine glands, accompanied by their primary insufficiency, often with autoimmune damage to non-endocrine organs. This article considers a variant of the clinical case of a patient with type 2 APS. Goal. To demonstrate the features of the clinical picture, diagnosis, dynamics and management of a patient with Schmidt syndrome. Materials and methods of research. The study was conducted on the basis of the BUZ in VGKBSMP No. 10, where data from 2 medical records, anamnesis and discharge epicrisis data for the period from 2000-2023, as well as objective data during the last hospitalization of a patient with type 2 autoimmune polyglandular syndrome were studied. Results. The peculiarities of the manifestation of APS include the fact that at first one autoimmune disease develops, and subsequent ones join during life. This study is based on a detailed analysis of the medical history of a patient with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Conclusion. In the course of the study, we came to the conclusion that, taking into account two endocrinopathies of an autoimmune nature (chronic adrenal insufficiency and autoimmune thyroiditis), the occurrence and relatively rapid progression of carbohydrate metabolism disorders with the need for an intensified insulin therapy regimen, we can assume the presence of another autoimmune process (LADA diabetes with absolute insulin deficiency). However, taking into account information about a possible overdose of glucocorticoids, an assumption has been made about the medicinal nature of hyperglycemia.
Features of the immune status in patients with metabolic syndrome
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of several risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, lipid metabolism disorders and insulin resistance, which increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and other concomitant diseases. The immunological system plays a crucial role in protecting the body from infectious agents and maintaining its homeostasis. However, metabolic syndrome can cause changes in the immune system that can affect its function and the level of immune cells. Therefore, the study of the features of the immune status in patients with metabolic syndrome is important for understanding the mechanisms of development of concomitant diseases and the development of effective treatment methods. The aim of the study is to study the characteristics of the immune status in patients with metabolic syndrome, including the number and function of various types of immune cells. The study was conducted in patients with diagnosed metabolic syndrome after obtaining consent to participate. The patients' blood was taken for immunological examination. Data from healthy patients were used for comparison. The results of the study showed a decrease in the number of T-lymphocytes. An increase in Ig G was also detected in most patients. The study showed that metabolic syndrome causes changes in the immune system, so studying the characteristics of the immune status in patients with metabolic syndrome is important.
Some aspects of immunoinflammatory and psychoemotional status in diabetic patients undergoing inpatient treatment using high-tech medical care
Abstract
Introduction. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most socially significant diseases. Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of disorders of psychoemotional status, in particular anxiety and depressive disorders. Immune mechanisms play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. The goal of this study is to assess psychoemotional status in patients with diabetes mellitus and to determine the relationship of mental health with glucose metabolism and immunoinflammatory status. Materials and methods. A survey of 51 people was conducted on the basis of the endocrinology center of the Voronezh City Clinical Emergency Hospital № 10. For the survey we used: the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire, the Spielberger-Khanin questionnaire, the Beck depression inventory. Glycemia and immunoinflammatory status were determined in the study participants. A correlation analysis of scores obtained from questionnaires and laboratory parameters was carried out, as well as a comparison of male and female patients, older and younger patients, with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results. Women have a higher degree of severity of anxiety and depressive disorders and ESR. A direct correlation was found between ESR and scores on the anxiety scale. Our study found no differences between older and younger patients, as well as with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusions. Active immune inflammation in diabetes mellitus contributes to impaired psychoemotional status, especially in female patients, which is probably due to their greater emotionality.

Clinical and laboratory characteristics of parvovirus infection according at the «VOKIB»
Abstract
Introduction. It is known that the clinical manifestation of parvovirus infection B19 often resembles feverish respiratory exanthemic malaise with asthenovegetative or flu-like manifestations. Widespread human infection caused by parvovirus B19, according to many literature data, manifests itself primarily as an exanthemic skin lesion in the form of a "lace" rash. This is the so-called typical form. Taking into account the registration of confirmed cases of parvovirus infection B19 (B19V) in Voronezh in the winter and spring periods 2023-2024, attention was drawn to this infection. The purpose of the study to conduct a clinical and laboratory study of parvovirus infection B19. Materials and methods. There were 7 patients with the diagnosis of "Parvovirus infection B19", aged 23 to 63, who underwent inpatient treatment at the «VOKIB» Medical Center in the "Infectious Diseases Department № 1" (for the period 2023-2024). All those examined were residents of the city of Voronezh. The diagnosis in all cases was laboratory confirmed by PCR testing. Conclusion. According to the conducted study, all cases of the disease had febrile-exanthem manifestations, but, in general, with atypical manifestations of this infectious disease, primarily in the nature of the rash, which was more reminiscent of scarlet fever. Studies indicate the need for a laboratory examination to determine parvovirus infection B19 in each case of febrile exanthem disease, and an in-depth clinical study of the manifestations of this viral disease.
Features of the clinic of the initial period of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the Voronezh region
Abstract
Introduction. The significant variety of clinical symptoms often makes early diagnosis of HFRS on an outpatient basis difficult. In this regard, the study of the characteristics of the epidemiology and clinical picture of this infection at the initial stage is of significant practical interest. Target. Study of the epidemiological features and clinical picture of HFRS during the early manifestations of the disease. Materials and methods. A retrospective study was conducted of medical records of patients diagnosed with HFRS, moderate severity, who were hospitalized at the BUZ VOKIB in 2022-2023. An analysis of outpatient records of 28 patients was carried out, of which 25 were men (average age 34.16 ± 5.34 years) and 3 women (average age 32.27 ± 4.18 years). Research results. The peculiarity of the HFRS clinic at the initial stage is the smoothness of the typical manifestations of the disease - kidney damage is mild, although it is recorded in half of the patients, thrombohemorrhagic syndrome appears insignificantly and rarely, ophthalmological complaints are not clearly expressed, such characteristic symptoms as dry mouth and thirst are almost never encountered . Conclusions. For the purpose of early detection of HFRS, it is necessary to take into account intoxication syndrome for more than 3 days, thrombohemorrhagic manifestations, enlargement of the liver and spleen, kidney damage; among laboratory indicators, platelet levels and a general urine test are important.
Pathogenic microorganisms as a factor in the development of cancer
Abstract
Introduction. The causes of the development of cancer in humans can be biological carcinogens, such as viruses and bacteria. Understanding the mechanisms of carcinogenesis allows us to improve algorithms for managing patients with infectious diseases for the purpose of prevention and early detection of tumors. The purpose of the work is to summarize data on the mechanisms of development of cancer caused by pathogenic viruses and bacteria. Materials and methods. A search and analysis of literature data was performed using materials from foreign and Russian sources. Results. DNA- and RNA-containing viruses, as well as the bacterium H. pylori, can act as biological carcinogens. The pathogenetic mechanisms that are involved in the process of carcinogenesis vary depending on the characteristics of the pathogenic microorganism that causes the tumor. Conclusions. 1. Viruses can cause the development of cancer either through a direct effect on the cells of the macroorganism (human papillomavirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpes virus type 8, human T-lymphotropic virus), or indirectly through various pathogenetic mechanisms (hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, AIDS virus). 2. Oncogenesis during Helicobacter pylori infection includes both direct and indirect effects on cells.
Neurological symptoms in children with respiratory mycoplasmosis
Abstract
Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes up to 44% of community-acquired pneumonia cases in children. In addition to the respiratory tract, mycoplasmas can affect other organs and systems, including the nervous system, more often with the development of encephalitis. The goal of our study is to study neurological symptoms in children with respiratory mycoplasmosis. Materials and methods. In 2023, 764 children with mycoplasma pneumonia were identified. Of these, 0.6% of patients had neurological manifestations. For the examination of children, general clinical research methods, biochemical, instrumental were used. The etiology of respiratory mycoplasmosis was confirmed by PCR of nasopharyngeal smears on the DNA of the pathogen, serological examination by ELISA for specific antibodies of immunoglobulin classes M, G to respiratory mycoplasmosis, chlamydia. According to the indications, a spinal tap and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain were performed. Results. 5 children with respiratory mycoplasmosis (0.6%) developed neurological symptoms on day 9-10 of the disease. 4 patients had meningoencephalitis, 1 had encephalitis. The leading symptoms were: ataxia, drowsiness, headache, two children had impaired consciousness, one had diplopia. Conclusions. Clinicians should be aware of possible neurological manifestations in children with respiratory mycoplasmosis in order to make correct diagnosis and prescribe appropriate etiotropic and pathogenetic treatment.
Pathomorphological pattern and features of pathogenesis of new coronavirus infection COVID-19
Abstract
Introduction. Pathomorphological specificity and specificity of the study of clinical manifestations, development of methods of treatment and prevention against coronavirus infection 2019 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019 - COVID-19) are limited up-to-date information on structural changes in internal organs affected by the virus. Understanding the structure of the virus, the factors that contribute to its progression and spread, pathological findings, diagnosis and treatment methods are essential for effective control of viral diseases. This not only allows for a better understanding of the disease itself, but also for the development of more accurate diagnostic and treatment methods, thus helping to prevent the further spread of the infection among the population. This is especially important in the case of deadly infections such as COVID-19. Target. Analyze the autopsy material described in a number of literature from COVID-19 coronavirus infection confirmed by PCR. Literary sources are represented by articles written by employees of the Department of Pathological Anatomy of the FSBEI HE DonSMU of MOH of Russia, atlas of pathological anatomy COVID-19, as well as domestic and foreign articles published mainly during the last 5 years. Materials and methods. Microscopic morphological changes in the structure of drugs of lungs, liver, kidneys, skin were evaluated. A pathogenetic chain explaining the severity of the clinical pattern of lesions of the respiratory epithelium in relation to the upper respiratory tract epithelium has been identified; respiratory and non-respiratory clinical manifestations of COVID-19 have been listed. A literature review of the pathomorphological picture of COVID-19 found the presence at the histological level and described diffuse alveolar tissue damage (DAP) of the lung with exudative and proliferative phases of the infection. Findings. COVID-19 affects various organs such as heart (cardiac virus, pericytic and vascular endothelium), kidney (CoV clusters in tubular epithelium and podocytes), gastrointestinal tract organs (endothelial virus infection, vasculitis of the subsylysis base vessels), mainly due to the effects of hypoxemia and cytokine storm.
Viral hepatitis E – regional features of a new infection in the Voronezh region
Abstract
Introduction. Only after the discovery in 2006 of zoonotic genotypes 3 and 4 of hepatitis E, dangerous for humans, it became known that the area of distribution of viral hepatitis E (HEV) is no longer limited to countries with tropical climate, where hepatitis E is caused only by the 1 and 2 HEV genotypes. Another 7 years later (in 2013), we described the first cases of HEV in the Voronezh region. Aim of the study. To identify regional clinical, laboratory and epidemiological features of HEV in the Voronezh region based on medical records for the entire period of registration of HEV in the region. Materials and methods. 49 case histories of all patients with HEV for 2013-2023. Results. The vast majority of patients (93.9%) became infected with a local infection, because they did not leave the borders of the Voronezh region for 3 months before the onset of the disease. In our region, icteric forms of HEV (71.4%) prevailed over anicteric forms. Forms of moderate and mild severity predominated (71.4% and 20.4%, respectively), severe course was noted only in 8.2% of patients. All patients did not experience any improvement in their state of health after the onset of jaundice. Laboratory findings were typical for acute viral hepatitis. Conclusions. Epidemiological anamnesis data allow us to claim the persistent circulation of the local hepatitis E virus has place in the Voronezh region. Hepatitis E has no specific clinical symptoms and clearly defined geographic foci of spread in Russia and in the Voronezh region, which makes it difficult to make a diagnosis taking into account only clinical and epidemiological data.

No pathological changes were observed in animals within 14 days after discontinuation of drug administration.
Analysis of the safety of bisphosphonates used for the treatment of osteoporosis
Abstract
Introduction. Osteoporosis is a global health system problem, reducing the quality of life of patients and shortening their life expectancy. The chronic nature of this disease determines the long-term pharmacotherapy of patients, which accordingly increases the likelihood of adverse reactions when using medications. The main drugs are drugs of the bisphosphonate group.
The aim of the work was to analyze the adverse reactions of drugs of the bisphosphonate group in order to assess their safety.
Materials and methods of research. The object of the study was spontaneous messages registered in the automated information system AIS-Roszdravnadzor. The criteria for selecting notification cards for adverse drug reactions were the presence of drugs of the M05BA bisphosphonate group in the category "Drug that allegedly caused an adverse reaction". The study period is from 01.01.2019 to 31.12.2022.
Results. During the presented period, 117 spontaneous messages were identified in the AIS-Roszdravnadzor database containing information on the development of adverse reactions when using a group of bisphosphonates. The drug that most often causes the development of side effects, zoledronic acid, has been identified. The features of the body of patients in whom adverse reactions are most often recorded were found: female patients aged 61 to 75 years. Indications for the use of drugs, clinical manifestations of adverse reactions, assessment of their manifestations and outcome are described.
Conclusions. The study of cases of adverse reactions when using drugs of the bisphosphonate group makes it possible to assess the possible risks of pharmacotherapy, determine the characteristics of the patient's body that are risk factors for the development of adverse reactions, as well as expand knowledge about the principles of rational use of medicines, which improves patients' adherence to treatment and safe use of medicines.
On the issue of the use of nootropic drugs in the correction of intellectual development disorders in children
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. The problem of using nootropic drugs in the correction of intellectual development disorders in children remains one of the most controversial issues in modern medicine, in particular, due to disputes in the scientific community about the effectiveness of these drugs. This is an important topic that deserves attention and research to improve the quality of life of children with these disorders. The goal of this study is to consider the mechanisms of action and capabilities of some nootropic drugs in the treatment of these disorders in children. Materials and methods. An analysis of literary sources on the mechanisms of action and pharmacological activity of nootropic drugs was carried out. Results. Nootropics improve brain metabolism through various mechanisms of action: increasing oxygen consumption in the brain; increased adenylate kinase activity in the brain; increased synthesis of cytochrome b5; improvement of interhemispheric transmission; increased glucose metabolism in the brain; increasing the plasticity of erythrocytes. In this publication, we would like to pay attention to both the drugs with the longest history of use (Piracetam) and new and possibly promising drugs (Meclofenoxate, Deanol aceglumate and Bacopa Monnieri). Conclusions. Assessing the effectiveness of nootropic drugs from the perspective of evidence-based medicine is difficult due to the high heterogeneity of etiological and pathophysiological factors and significant individual characteristics of intellectual development in children. Research shows that nootropics can improve mental activity, memory, attention, learning ability, and also reduce the oxygen demand of neurons during hypoxia. These drugs also help normalize behavior and correct emotional and behavioral disorders in children. The most common and widely used today is Piracetam. It is a nootropic that promotes intellectual development, improves cognitive function and memory.

Abstract
Introduction. Recently, there have been more and more initiatives to fully open data on the development and research of new medicines. This approach is especially effective in the early stages, when searching for and confirming new biomishens. Goal. Using an online resource for virtual bioscreening, predict potential targets for new compounds, as well as evaluate their possible pharmacological activity in an in vivo experiment. Materials and methods. The object of the study was new synthesized substances 3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridines, cyanothioacetamide derivatives. With the help of the Swiss Target Prediction Internet service, the prediction of potential pharmacological effects for the studied compounds was carried out. In preclinical studies, anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using a model of formalin edema of the rat paw. Results. The conducted screening studies allow us to consider 5 new 3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridines promising for further study of the anti-inflammatory activity. When modeling formalin edema, it was revealed that laboratory samples with the mar-137 and mar-003 ciphers reduce the severity of the inflammatory process and have a sufficiently long-lasting effect. Conclusions. The main types of pharmacological activity (anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyritic) in silico have been established. The presence of anti-inflammatory activity in vivo was reliably revealed.

Systemic analysis of the consumption of antibacterial drugs using integrated ABC/nDDD/VEN matrices and Lorentz curve
Abstract
Introduction. The most important task of practical healthcare is the pharmacoeconomical justification for the inclusion of drugs in treatment protocols, regional and local forms. The cost of drugs is the most important criterion for their inclusion in the above-mentioned lists. Goal. Assessment of the consumption of medicines from the group of systemic antibacterial agents for the IV quarters of 2019-2023 using matrix ABC/DDD/VEN models. Materials and methods. An integrated pharmacoeconomical analysis based on three independent analyses was used as a research method: ABC analysis, DDD analysis and expert VEN analysis. 58 medical specialists who use drugs of this group in their profile acted as experts. Results. At the first stage, an ABC analysis was performed, as a result of which all antibacterial drugs were divided into three groups (A, B, C) according to the share in the turnover of the entire group of drugs. At the second stage, the number of daily doses consumed per 1000 people per day (NDDD) was calculated, showing the consumption of each systemic antibacterial drug given an international nonproprietary name. At the third stage, an expert VEN[1] analysis was carried out. Doctors of 14 different profiles acted as experts. Conclusions. Based on the analysis methods described above, the Lorentz curve, the integrated matrices ABC/DDD, ABC/VEN [1,2] are constructed. According to these models, the consumption of each drug, the share of its costs and the category of importance were estimated.

Analysis of microflora resistance in children with phlegmonous appendicitis
Abstract
Introduction. The irrational use of antibiotics in the treatment of acute phlegmonous appendicitis leads to ineffective therapy and various complications. The purpose of the work. Assessment of the dynamics of the level of resistance of the isolated microflora in children with acute phlegmonous appendicitis with a 14-year interval. Materials and methods. The article analyzes 105 results of microbial seeding and their antibiotic resistance obtained from patients aged 1 to 17 years hospitalized in Regional Children's Clinical Hospital No. 2 with a diagnosis of «Acute phlegmonous appendicitis» in 2007 and 2021. The results of the study. A review of the results on antibiotic resistance showed that Gram-positive bacteria, namely Staph. epidermidis, have a high level of resistance to erythromycin. Most gram-negative bacteria are resistant to ampicillin. E.coli strains (ESBL) also show resistance to amoxiclav, cefotaxime and ceftriaxone. Conclusions. The main bacterium often secreted remains E.coli, the seeding of which has increased from 45% to 52% over the past 14 years. There has been a change in the varieties of microorganisms secreted – Ps. aeruginosa became the cause of acute phlegmonous appendicitis in 2021. A large number of bacteria appeared, which began to produce broad-spectrum β-lactamases. The conducted antibacterial therapy should be prescribed taking into account the expected microflora and corrected in accordance with the results of bacteriological sowing of effusion from the abdominal cavity.
A modern approach to the pharmacological correction of idiopathic premature sexual development in girls with Triptorelin
Abstract
Introduction. Idiopathic premature sexual development (iPPD) is an interdisciplinary problem that district pediatricians, obstetricians-gynecologists and endocrinologists may face. The relevance of the study is determined by the low diagnosis of STI, long-term disability, reproductive disorders, and the risk of developing tumor diseases. Goal. To analyze the effectiveness of pharmacological therapy with Triptorelin by assessing physical and sexual development, bioimpedance measurement, laboratory examination of hormone levels in the blood. Materials and methods. The analysis of the case histories of 30 girls aged 5-9 years with idiopathic PD was carried out. The results of therapy were analyzed for 3 weeks to 12 months. The assessment of physical development was analyzed using centile and sigma tables. Sexual development was assessed by Tanner. Bioimpedance measurement was performed by the MEDASS device. Results. Triptorelin is a synthetic analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone. 3 weeks after Triptorelin therapy, gonadotropin levels returned to normal in all girls. The level of sex hormones and cortisol, as well as the increase in height and weight, returned to normal in accordance with age. According to ultrasound of the pelvic organs and breast, after 6 months, a decrease in the volume of gonads was noted in almost all girls, and after another 12 months – the volume of glandular breast tissue. The interval between bone and biological age has decreased. Conclusions. As a result of therapy, the progression of premature development of secondary sexual characteristics stopped and the level of hormones in the blood normalized.

Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. The development of the urinary system during embryogenesis is closely related to the development of the reproductive system. In more than 30% of patients with unilateral renal agenesis, an associated abnormality of the reproductive system is detected. In our country, there are no formed and established recommendations for the examination of persons with identified renal agenesis for malformations of the reproductive system. That is why in this group of patients, diagnosis is often postponed until the onset of menarche, when such formidable complications as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory diseases and infertility occur.

Evaluation of blood uric acid levels in mice with CRISPR-induced mutation of the Hprt1 gene
Abstract
Abstract. The assessment of changes in uric acid levels in an animal model of the orphan disease Lesch-Nyhan allows characterization of the personalized model from the perspective of the principal diagnostic criterion of this syndrome. The objective is to comparatively evaluate the dynamics of uric acid level changes in the blood plasma of mice with a mutation in the Hprt1 gene. Materials and Methods. The study utilized Hprt1del8Val mice of both genders, categorized into groups corresponding to the zygosity of the mutation on the X-chromosome: Hemi (hemizygous males), Homo (homozygous females), Het (heterozygous females), WT (wild-type animals of both genders). Blood samples were collected from the cheek of animals at various age intervals, starting from 5 weeks of age up to 15 weeks. Uric acid content analysis was conducted using an enzymatic method with spectrophotometric detection at a wavelength of 513 nm. The raw data were statistically processed, employing an appropriate significance criterion. Results. The uric acid level significantly differed in Hemi group males compared to WT group males at 5, 9, and 13 weeks by 21.1%, 21.79%, and 28.84%, respectively (p<0.05). In females, significant differences in uric acid levels were observed in the Homo group at 5, 6, 10, and 15 weeks by 59.78%, 60.45%, 10.33%, and 37.33%, respectively (p<0.05); and in the Het group by 45.01%, 61.68%, 22.05%, and 44.53%, respectively, compared to the control (p<0.05). Conclusion. Hprt1del8Val mice differ from wild-type mice based on the main diagnostic criterion for Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, directly associated with the impairment of HPRT enzyme function. This personalized mouse model is a crucial component in studying metabolic disturbances occurring in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

Comparison of pathogenetic mechanisms of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke development
Abstract
Introduction. According to epidemiological data, acute cerebrovascular accident (ONMC) is diagnosed in 3 people per 1000 population, which is a fairly high indicator. It is also impossible not to mention the incidence of post-stroke depression of 24-59% (foreign data) and more than 42% (domestic data). Previously, it was believed that stroke is an exclusively older people's problem, however, as practice and time show, the disease is rapidly "getting younger", people aged 20-35 years (5-19%), and in some cases even teenagers (3-7%) are becoming more susceptible to it. Goal. To compare the pathogenetic mechanisms of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke with the help of current scientific data. Materials and methods. We have analyzed foreign and domestic publications over the past 5 years. Results. The immediate cause of hemorrhagic stroke is hemorrhage in the medulla. The pathogenetic mechanism of ischemic stroke is the interruption of blood supply in
To study the features of heart rate variability in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome
Abstract
Introduction. "Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a group of dysimmune neuropathies heterogeneous in pathophysiological mechanisms of development and clinical neurophysiological picture" [1]. To date, GBS is the most common cause of acute peripheral tetraparesis. One of the most common manifestations of GBS is vegetative disorders. In some patients, autonomic dysfunction, the presence of which has a significant impact on the outcome of the disease, may occur subclinically and not be diagnosed on time. Aim. The aim of the study is to research the features of heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome, to evaluate changes in HRV indicators depending on the severity of disability and the outcome of the disease. Materials and methods. Writing of a literature review, analysis of medical documentation, dynamic patient monitoring, HRV study, statistical analysis of results. The results of the study. In patients with GBS, there is a serious decrease in the total power of the spectrum, an increase in the activity of the humoral part, suprasegmental divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and a decrease in the influence of the parasympathetic part. In patients with a more severe course of the disease, there is a marked decrease in the proportion of parasympathetic effects on the heart rate with the development of a "rigid" rhythm pattern, which suggests that these patients have significant suffering of regulatory processes. Severe deficiency of sympathetic influences and pronounced relative vagotonia were detected in patients who died. Conclusion. Patients with GBS have characteristic features of heart rate variability, patients of varying severity differ in HRV indicators.
The peculiarities of strabismus in children with perinatal CNS lesion
Abstract
Strabismus is a form of oculomotor disorders, which is characterized by a deviation of the eye from the general point of fixation and is an external manifestation of a violation of binocular vision. At the same time, the pathogenesis of this pathology is still being debated. This study is devoted to the analysis of children with perinatal CNS damage and strabismus.
Goal. Identification of the features of strabismus in this group of patients and identification of patterns of localization of focal lesion according to neuroimaging data.
Materials and methods. A neurological examination and analysis of medical documentation of 26 children with perinatal CNS lesion and strabismus, who are being treated in the neuropsychiatric department No. 3 of the Voronezh Regional Children's Clinical Hospital No. 1, was carried out.
Results. It was concluded that among patients with perinatal CNS lesion, strabismus is most often detected in boys (73%), and the most common type of strabismus is convergent alternating (77%). According to MRI data, the leading position is occupied by atrophic changes in the large hemispheres (58%) with a predominance of lesions of the temporal (33%) and occipital (26%) lobes; changes in the corpus callosum (39%); periventricular leukomalacia (23%) and multicystic encephalomalacia (12%) in the occipital lobes (66.6%) combined with frontal (33.3%) and parietal (33.3%) lobes.
Conclusion. The results of the study suggest that atrophic changes in the brain may be a factor in the occurrence of strabismus.
Difficulties in the treatment of post-infectious epilepsy. Case from clinical practice
Abstract
Introduction. Herpetic encephalitis (HE), caused by herpes simplex viruses types 1 and 2 (HSV 1/2), is the most common encephalitis in developed countries. The incidence of GE is 0.2-04 per 100 thousand population, although some studies provide values up to 1.2 per 100 thousand. Among etiologically verified cases of acute encephalitis, GE accounts for 14 to 20%. The disease is characterized by a very severe course. According to a number of authors (Gorelik E.Yu., Skripchenko N.V., Vilnits A.A., etc.), without specific etiotropic therapy, mortality from HE can reach 70%, but even with timely initiation of adequate therapy, mortality reaches 10 -25%, and 40-60% of survivors develop severe neurological disorders. Target. To present a clinical case of post-infectious drug-resistant epilepsy. Clinical case. Patient A., born in 2012, suffered meningoencephalitis of herpetic etiology in May 2018, confirmed by laboratory data (positive PCR titers of cerebrospinal fluid for HSV type 1). The disease debuted with serial acute symptomatic convulsions, against which a clinical picture of cerebral edema and coma 2 developed. The girl was in the intensive care unit and was subjected to mechanical ventilation for 17 days. Subsequently, the condition stabilized. In August 2018, the girl developed focal epileptic seizures - motor tonic, hemiclonic, the frequency of which reached 5-6 times a day. Conclusions. Herpetic meningoencephalitis is a severe infectious disease, which is one of the most common causes of the formation of post-infectious drug-resistant epilepsy, which is difficult to control when prescribing antiepileptic drug therapy, which, in fact, is demonstrated by the presented clinical case.

The role of abduction limitation of the hip joint in the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip in children of the first year of life
Abstract
Introduction. To date, there is no uniform approach to diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children in the first year of life. In order to reduce the number of instrumental studies performed, it is necessary to expand knowledge about the most pathognomonic symptoms that occur with DDH in children of the first year of life, which include abduction limitation of the hip joint (ALH). The goal of this study is to inform opportunity of using ALH symptom in diagnosis DDH. Materials and methods. Using the R. Graf classification (1984), ultrasonograms of 1052 hip joints (HJ) of 526 children in the first year of life were analyzed, and anamnestic data were studied. ALH was observed in 48.48% of observations (58.43% of boys and 41.57% of girls). In the structure of children with ALH, full-term children (69.41%) predominate over premature children (30.59%). 85.89% of children were born with a cephalic presentation of the fetus, 14.11% - with a pelvic presentation Results. Variants of the structure of the HJ of children of the first year of life with a ALH in anamnesis were studied. The sensitivity and specificity of the symptom, the predictive value of positive and negative results was determined. Conclusions. ALH is not a reliable symptom indicating DDH in children of the first year of life, however, in it is absence, the absence of the disease can be assumed.

The relevance of the psychological and social aspects of rehabilitation of cancer patients
Abstract
Rehabilitation of cancer patients is a complex process that includes not only physical recovery after treatment, but also psychological support. Psychological aspects play an important role in this process, as cancer and its treatment can have a significant impact on the psychological state of the patient. Seriously ill people are characterized by fear of death, shame, self-isolation, impotence, refusal of treatment, revision of life values and lifestyle, hard-to-tolerate treatment, possible pain reactions, fear of recurrence of the disease, suicidal ideas. Attention to the psychological problems of an oncological patient is dictated by the fact that a malignant disease can carry a threat of mental trauma. Psychoncology and oncopsychology are actively developing all over the world and in our country, within the framework of which psychological studies of cancer patients and their families are conducted. For many people, nature is a calming and relaxing remedy, there are also different lists of exercises that are suitable for people with a certain type of cancer, but their performance again depends on the patient's condition, as well as the opinion of the attending physician about them.

Abstract
Introduction. In view of the high mortality rate from laryngeal cancer, it is important to consider that timely detection and correctly selected treatment tactics can significantly affect the patient’s life expectancy, as well as the development of multiple primary tumors and metastases. Target. To assess the relationship between the life expectancy of patients with cancer in various parts of the larynx, after surgical treatment, and the development of multiple primary tumors. Materials and methods. The study included 149 patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of laryngeal cancer of various stages who underwent surgical treatment between 2010 and 2023. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the location of the tumor: group 1 (vestibular larynx), group 2 (middle larynx), group 3 (vestibular and middle larynx). Results. In group 1, life expectancy after treatment ranged from 10 to 50 months. In 27.3% of patients, PME was identified, the development of which occurred 11-66 months after surgery. Also, 18.8% of patients developed metastases 18-29 months after treatment. In group 2, the average life expectancy of patients after surgery was 58.2 months. Progression of PME was found in 16.2% of patients from 9 to 148 months, and metastases developed in 9.4% of patients 8 to 163 months after surgery. For group 3, life expectancy ranged from 2 to 70 months. Progression of PME was detected after 84 months, and metastases developed after 30 months. Conclusions. A favorable course is observed with pathology of the middle part of the larynx, while an unfavorable outcome is more common with tumors of the vestibular part. However, the prognosis still depends on many factors, such as the stage of the disease, the type of tumor, the general condition of the patient and the presence of metastases.

Analysis of risk factors and incidence of hypertension in young, middle and elderly people
Abstract
The presented article analyzes the level of predisposition of people to hypertension, as one of the most common diseases or, as they say now, the "scourge" of the XXI century. A parallel is also drawn between different age categories to find out how globally widespread this pathology is. The paper touches on the topic of risk factors for hypertension: obesity, poor lifestyle, stress and hereditary predisposition. Goal. To substantiate the most common causes contributing to the development of arterial hypertension, to track the features of the course and frequency of pathology among people of different ages. The survey, based on the work entitled "Development of an outpatient questionnaire for patients with high blood pressure," involved 102 people aged 20-44, 45-59 and 60-74, 60 of whom were men and 42 women. As a result of the survey and its careful analysis, the following was determined: arterial hypertension affects not only middle-aged and elderly people, but also the younger generation. In all cases, the development of the pathology under study is associated with maintaining an improper lifestyle, being overweight, low stress resistance and the detection of the disease under study in loved ones.
The effects of Covid-19 in the oral cavity
Abstract
Introduction. The global Covid-19 pandemic remains one of the largest and most pressing problems in the world today. As with other respiratory viruses, the respiratory system is more often affected. In addition to damage to the respiratory system, there are symptoms associated with the nervous, musculoskeletal, endocrine and cardiovascular systems, as well as the immune system. It has been established that despite the protective properties of the body, such as mucous membranes, skin, immunoglobulins, as well as interferon and lysozyme contained in saliva, coronavirus infection can manifest itself in the oral cavity and in cells. Historically, coronavirus infection has become one of the deadliest epidemics. In 2020, society turned out to be unprepared and defenseless to the multidirectional action of the coronavirus, which led to a large number of sick people. Goal. To study various dental complications and their prevalence. Materials and methods. An analysis of the literature data on the disease was performed, as well as a survey among several age groups. Results. The results of the survey were analyzed, and the most common manifestations of Covid-19 in the oral cavity were established. Conclusions. Given the high incidence of complications, which are serious, more attention and research should be given to this problem.

Information was collected and data analysis was carried out on the topic "Cognitive abilities". Based on the data obtained, a questionnaire was compiled using basic techniques, and respondents with an average age of 21 ± 1 year were surveyed. Results. The analysis of the answers was carried out, on its basis, patterns of distribution of cognitive styles among students of various faculties, groups with distribution by gender and age were revealed. Recommendations for improving the educational process were proposed for them. Conclusions. The respondents identified their strengths and received useful recommendations that they will use in practice.
Identification of the relationship between the development of aphthous stomatitis and concomitant diseases in children
Abstract
Modern medicine identifies several theories of the occurrence of stomatitis, each of which has its own grounds and provisions. However, most scientists agree that the infectious-allergic factor is leading in the pathogenesis of aphthous stomatitis. This factor manifests itself in a change in the reactivity of the body and its increased sensitivity to staphylococci, streptococci and other microorganisms that are usually present in the oral cavity. With certain disorders, these microorganisms become pathogenic, causing inflammatory processes.
Aphthous stomatitis can have acute, chronic and recurrent forms. Foreign authors distinguish three main manifestations of chronic recurrent stomatitis: small aphthae (up to 10 mm in diameter), large aphthae (more than 1 cm in diameter) and herpetiform ulcers – multiple round-shaped aphthae, ranging in size from 1 to 3 mm, distributed throughout the oral mucosa.
This article discusses issues related to the etiology and pathogenesis of aphthous stomatitis in children, depending on the concomitant pathology. The study is based on a retrospective and prospective analysis of the results of the examination of 120 children aged 3 to 8 years with various forms of stomatitis. The study was conducted at Voronezh Regional Children's Clinical Hospital No. 2. The most common concomitant pathology turned out to be allergic reactions of various origins. It was also revealed that aphthous stomatitis was most severe in children with oral acidosis, especially in those who sought medical help in the late stages of the disease.
Assessment of the risk of developing anemia during surgical modeling of additional respiratory resistance in rats
Abstract
The need to use personal respiratory protection equipment, as well as an increase in the number of patients with airway obstruction, makes the study of the effect of additional respiratory resistance (АRS) on the body one of the key problems. To study the adaptation processes formed in the body under the influence of airflow restriction, it is necessary to use experimental models that make it possible to study various adaptive and pathological processes, including in the blood system. Complete blood count (СВС) data make it possible to determine the risk of anemia during operational modeling of АRS. Goal. To determine the effect of the development of АRS on the development of anemia. Materials and methods. The study involved 20 animals. They were randomly divided into 4 groups of 5 rats each. All animals except the control group underwent tracheal ligation surgery with restricted airflow. The frequency of respiratory movements, weight were determined in animals, and blood was taken for general analysis. Results. Against the background of the tracheal ligation operation in animals, there are no violations of the parameters of red blood, except for the indicator of erythrocyte anisocytosis, which returns to normal by 12 days after ligation, which may indicate minor blood loss during surgery. Conclusions. The indicators of red blood change slightly, the ligation operation does not lead to blood loss in animals, there are no signs of anemia on days 6 and 12.
Etiopathogenetic aspects of iron deficiency anemia and its relationship with gestational diabetes mellitus
Abstract
Introduction. Anemia and gestational diabetes mellitus are the two most common extragenital pathologies, which remain an unexplored topic in the Russian medical healthcare system. One of the reasons for this problem is the insufficient effectiveness of preventive measures for the treatment of anemia in pregnant women. Goal. To assess the relationship between iron deficiency anemia and gestational diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods. An analysis of 100 women in labor with gestational diabetes mellitus was performed, which included a general blood test and a biochemical blood test to determine fasting glucose levels. Results. In 23 (23%) patients, a decrease in hemoglobin levels below 110.0 was detected, which is lower than the reference values of hemoglobin in pregnant women. In 59 (59%) patients, hematocrit was lower than the reference value corresponding to 37%. Anemic syndrome in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy were identified by the attending physician in 23% of patients. After 20 weeks, anemia was detected in 44% of women in labor. Correlation analysis did not reveal a connection between anemia syndrome and gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant women, however, these pathological conditions continue to occur in a large number of women in labor, leading to difficulties in pregnancy management. Conclusions. Anemia and glycemia are quite common in pregnant women and create some problems during pregnancy and subsequent delivery. In this regard, further study of the interrelationships and pathogenesis of these conditions is required, and there is also a need to confirm the validity of their results in the conditions of the Russian healthcare system.

Clinical observation of familial cases of congenital ichthyosis
Abstract
Ichthyosis is a group of rare genetic diseases with a wide phenotypic spectrum, characterized most often by generalized hyperkeratosis and peeling with variable erythema. The pathogenesis of congenital ichthyosis is based on a change in the structure of keratin and its hyperproduction. The phenotypic heterogeneity of ichthyosis is the result of numerous variants of gene mutations that lead to a violation of the homeostasis of the granular and horny layers, causing structural and functional disorders of the skin barrier. In most cases, the diagnosis is established immediately after birth based on clinical data. The basis of treatment is proper skin care, regular moisturizing, prevention of infection. Goal. To describe the features of the clinical course, diagnosis and therapy of familial cases of congenital ichthyosis. Materials. Medical records of patients with congenital ichthyosis. Results. The article describes clinical cases of congenital ichthyosis in two boys from the same family born 8 years apart. At the time of birth, both children had similar clinical signs and the nature of the course of the disease. Conclusion. The children in this family showed a genetically similar form of congenital ichthyosis. Due to timely initiation of complex therapy and proper care, significant positive dynamics were noted.
A case of meconium peritonitis in a newborn child with cystic fibrosis
Abstract
Introduction. Meconium ileus is one of the manifestations of cystic fibrosis and is characterized by intestinal obstruction with viscous meconium, which often leads to the development of perforation and peritonitis. Goal. To show the features of the course, diagnosis and therapy of meconium peritonitis in a newborn child with cystic fibrosis. Materials and methods. The medical history of a patient with cystic fibrosis. Results. During a routine ultrasound examination at the 33rd week of pregnancy, the intrauterine child showed signs of colon obstruction and meconium peritonitis. Surgical treatment of peritonitis was performed on the 1st day after birth. From day 1, the child is on a ventilator. On the 8th day of life, the child showed signs of intrahepatic cholestasis with direct hyperbilirubinemia (up to 100 mmol / l). On the 10th day of the child's life, a negative blood test result for IRT was obtained (21.6 ng/ml with a norm of < 70 ng/ml). On the 21st and 23rd days of life, sweat tests were performed, the results of which revealed high levels of chlorides of sweat fluid (112 mmol/l in both samples, the norm is 30-59 mmol/l). The diagnosis of cystic fibrosis was established, dornase alpha (2.5 mg / day) was added to therapy. Conclusions. Meconium ileus is one of the specific intestinal manifestations of cystic fibrosis and is often complicated by intestinal perforation of an intrauterine child with the development of peritonitis. Children with meconium ileus need sweat tests regardless of the results of neonatal screening.
Systemic ANCA-vasculitis-associated granulomatosis with polyangiitisina 16-year-old teenage girl
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. ANCA-associated vasculitis is a group of immuno-mediated diseases of unclear etiology characterized by chronic inflammation of predominantly small-caliber vessels, frequent involvement in the pathological process of the lungs and kidneys, and the presence of circulating autoantibodies to the cytoplasm of neutrophils. They are rare in children, they are diagnosed late, which leads to early disability and high mortality due to damage to the respiratory system and the development of renal failure. The aim of the work is to demonstrate the difficulties of diagnosis and treatment of a 16-year-old teenager with systemic ANCA-associated vasculitis. The analysis of the medical documentation of a patient who was undergoing examination and treatment in the cardiorheumatology department of the Medical School "VODKB No. 1" in Voronezh was carried out. The results of the study: the girl was admitted to the department of the VODKB No. 1 medical school from an infectious diseases hospital, where she was with acute pneumonia. Antibacterial therapy without effect. Complaints of fever, chills, difficulty in nasal breathing, cough, hearing loss. During the year, episodes of nasal congestion. She was observed at the place of residence with a diagnosis of rhinosinusitis. Radiography of the paranasal sinuses: violations of the airiness of the left maxillary sinus, changes in the density of the nasal concha. Chest X-ray: signs of bilateral multiple globular lung lesion with signs of disintegration. Titers of cANCA 68.8 (N-20); pANCA < 2.0 (N-20) confirmed the diagnosis: Systemic ANCA-associated vasculitis - granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The course of the disease was complicated by perforation of the nasal septum and pulmonary bleeding. Immunosuppressive therapy improved the child's condition. Taking into account the high degree of activity of the disease, it is recommended to connect GIBP – rituximab to therapy. Conclusion: Analysis of the clinical picture in combination with instrumental and immunological data is the basis for timely diagnosis. The course of the disease was complicated by perforation of the nasal septum and pulmonary bleeding. Standard immunosuppressive therapy improved the patient's condition.
Wegener's granulomatosis in a teenager. A clinical case
Abstract
Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare autoimmune disease, especially in children (1 case per 1 million people), refers to vasculitis with damage to predominantly small and medium vessels and the formation of granulomas prone to destruction. Analysis of literature data shows an almost double increase in publications over the past 15 years, which may indicate an increase in the incidence of this disease in the world. The article provides brief information about this disease, criteria and methods for its diagnosis. A clinical case of Wegener's granulomatosis in a 16-year-old girl who was hospitalized in the infectious diseases hospital of the Voronezh Regional Children's Clinical Hospital No. 2 is considered, the dynamics of laboratory parameters and instrumental research data, treatment tactics and its effectiveness are shown. The interest of this case lies in the complexity of the diagnostic search for orphan pathology. Diagnosis of the disease in the early stages is difficult due to the extreme non-specificity of the manifesting symptoms, which required differential diagnosis with a wide range of diseases.
Diagnosis of chronic adrenal insufficiency in a teenager
Abstract
Introduction. Adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism, is a syndrome caused by a deficiency in the synthesis and secretion of cortisol in the adrenal nucleus. Depending on the level of damage in the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system, adrenal insufficiency can be primary, secondary or tertiary. The most common is primary adrenal insufficiency. Hypocortisol may be congenital or congenital. Clinical symptoms of chronic adrenal insufficiency today affect 95% of the tissues of the adrenal cortex. In almost 60% of patients, adrenal insufficiency occurs as a result of idiopathic adrenal atrophy.
Chronic adrenal insufficiency (CAI) is a fairly rare pathology, the annual incidence ranges from 100 to 144 cases per million population. The age of diagnosis is most often 20-40 years. Men (and therefore boys) have chronic adrenal insufficiency more often than women (girls).
Target. To present a clinical case of the manifestation of CAI in a teenage girl in the post-pubertal period.
Materials and methods. Clinical study of a patient with anamnesis collection during hospitalization in the endocrinology department of the BUZ VO VODKB № 1. Analysis of clinical case histories with study of the results of laboratory and instrumental examinations, as well as consultations with specialists.
Results. A 17-year-old patient had the onset of the disease in adolescence, with symptoms that imitated vegetative-vascular dysregulation and led to hospitalization in the psychoneurological department of the BUZ VO VODKB №1 with complaints of headaches, dizziness and fainting. An examination was carried out, during which electrolyte disturbances were discovered in the biochemical blood test, which made it possible to suspect CAI. The patient was transferred to the endocrinology department, where the diagnosis was confirmed.
Conclusions. CAI is an endocrine disease that requires lifelong hormone replacement therapy with constant clinical and laboratory monitoring. With proper follow-up and management of the patient, the prognosis for CAI is favorable. Delayed diagnosis and/or inadequate treatment not only aggravates the prognosis, but can also lead to death.
Features of the course of community-acquired pneumonia in children with impaired physical development
Abstract
Introduction. Pneumonia is one of the most dangerous and common diseases among children. However, in patients with impaired physical development, the disease process may have its own characteristics and complications. Obesity has a negative effect on the immune system and respiratory function, increasing the risk of developing pneumonia. Protein-energy deficiency, in turn, can reduce immune defense mechanisms and contribute to the development of infections. The purpose of this work is to study the clinical course of pneumonia in children of various ages with impaired physical development and normal. Materials and methods of research. Using statistical analysis, data from 23 case histories of patients who were in the infectious diseases department of the CSTO No. 2 from 2021 to 2023 were reviewed. Based on the analysis, the patterns of the clinical course of the disease in children with normal weight, obesity and protein-energy deficiency were revealed. The results of such research methods as computed tomography (CT), radiography, thermometry, general blood analysis, and biochemical blood analysis were used. The results of the study. Polysegmental lung lesion prevailed among the studied group of patients (in 56.5%), bilateral lesion was observed in 11 children (47.8%). Some patients had complications such as pleurisy and atelectasis. Respiratory failure was present in 39.1% of patients. Fever and cough accompanied the disease in 100% of cases. Also, most patients had wet wheezing and crepitation. Conclusion. As a result of the analysis of the studied group of children, a pattern of the nature and duration of the clinical course of pneumonia in patients with impaired physical development was revealed. In most cases, the disease is accompanied by a more severe clinical picture in combination with obesity or protein-energy deficiency than in patients with normal weight indicators.

Pain syndrome also appeared from this age Diagnosis: I degree obesity (SDS +2.45), exogenous - constitutional, complicated. Autoimmune thyroiditis. Urinary tract infection. Uveitis is in remission. Arachnoid cyst of the hypocompal region. In the MGC in Moscow, a mutation of the MEFV gene in exon 10 was detected in a heterozygous state - pathogenic variant c.2177T (p. Va1726A1a$ p.V726A).
Conclusion. The disease in a child has an atypical course. Further tactics for managing the patient depend on determining the mechanism of the relationship between the underlying disease and concomitant diseases.
Analysis of the prevalence of vitamins and dietary supplements, as well as their impact on children's health
Abstract
Currently, vitamin preparations and dietary supplements are becoming increasingly popular among parents and their children. According to statistics in Russia over the past few years, the number of vitamins and dietary supplements sold is more than 359 million packages.
That is why the purpose of our study was to analyze the prevalence of taking vitamins and dietary supplements, as well as their effect on the child's body.
It was necessary to find out whether the children were taking vitamins as prescribed by a doctor or whether the parents had made the choice of the drug on their own. What drugs do parents most often choose for their children? Is there a correlation between the number of acute respiratory infections per year and taking a variety of vitamin preparations?
The work is based on a statistical analysis of questionnaires that were offered to parents who were with their children at the Voronezh Regional Children's Clinical Hospital № 2. The information was analyzed using the Excel electronic system.
70 families took part in the survey. Each of them was provided with a questionnaire of 25 items containing various questions about vitamins.
During the work, it was found out that vitamins and dietary supplements are quite common at the moment both among children and their parents. Drugs that are preferred by many families have been identified. A correlation has been established between the number of ARVI in children per year and the intake of vitamin preparations.
Orthopedic pathology in school-age children with physical developmental disorders
Abstract
Introduction. One of the important conditions for the harmonious development of children and adolescents is the correct formation of the musculoskeletal system, corresponding to age-related anatomical and physiological norms. The conditions of the school environment contribute to the formation of a sedentary lifestyle, which in turn is a predisposing factor for the formation of orthopedic pathology. The purpose of this work is to study the chronic pathology of the musculoskeletal system in school-age children. Materials and methods of research. Using statistical analysis, data from 43 medical records of patients of the school age group who were in the rehabilitation department from 2022 to 2023 were considered. Based on the study, the most common pathologies characteristic of the group under consideration were identified. The results of such research methods as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radiography, and densitometry were used. The results of the study. In the course of the work, the structure of orthopedic pathology in schoolchildren was studied. Such pathologies as scoliosis, chest deformities, hyperkyphosis and flat feet took the leading positions. With regard to physical development disorders, protein and energy deficiency was more common than overweight and obesity. Conclusion. As a result of the study, it was found that impaired physical development in the form of protein and energy deficiency is more often accompanied by chest deformities. There is a direct correlation between the degree of protein-energy deficiency and osteopenic syndrome, which predisposes to the formation of Z-shaped scoliosis. Overweight and obese children are more likely to be diagnosed with hyperkyphosis.
Mesadenitis in children: a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment
Abstract
The article presents research data on acute mesadenitis in children. Acute mesadenitis is a disease that still causes difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. Doctors of various specialties, such as pediatricians, gastroenterologists and pediatric surgeons, are still interested in this problem. The clinical picture of acute mesadenitis includes symptoms of an "acute abdomen", which makes it important for the differential diagnosis of other pathologies. The aim of the study is to identify the features of the etiology, clinic, diagnosis, and response to therapy of mesadenitis in Voronezh children. Mesadenitis is a fairly common disease, but approaches to diagnosis and treatment tactics cause difficulties for primary care physicians. It is more common in children aged 6 to 13 years due to the immaturity of their immune and digestive systems. Mesadenitis can be caused by infectious diseases, as well as the penetration of infection from other organs. The article will discuss etiology
Adrenal neuroblastoma in the first year of life
Abstract
Introduction. Neuroblastoma (NB) is a malignant extracranial solid tumor of the pediatric population. It can be localized in sympathetic parts of the nervous system and adrenal glands. It occurs sporadically but may be associated with a family history. Treatment tactics of this disease are different, depending on localization, stage and severity. Objective. To describe a patient with accidentally detected NB of the left adrenal gland. Materials and methods. Analysis of the patient's medical history, domestic and foreign literature on the subject of the article. Results. We present a clinical case of accidental detection of adrenal NB in a child of the first year of life who was taken to the hospital with anemia and suspected urinary tract infection. Complex diagnostics made it possible to establish the diagnosis. The child needs thorough examination, specialist consultations, selection of therapy and determination of further management tactics. Conclusion. Risk determination based on a combination of instrumental and laboratory diagnostic methods is no less important than early diagnosis of NB. To date, the search for new methods and schemes of treatment remains relevant due to its high share in the structure of pediatric mortality from oncologic diseases.
Clinical observation of a child with hypopituitarism
Abstract
Introduction. Hypopituitarism is a rare endocrine disease characterized by nonspecific clinical signs, asymptomatic progression, which often leads to late diagnosis and untimely initiation of therapy. The aim of the study was to describe the clinical observation of a child with hypopituitarism, to identify methods for diagnosing this disease according to scientific literature. Materials and methods of research. The analysis of medical documentation (the history of the child's development, the medical record of an outpatient patient, extracts from the medical history of a child undergoing inpatient treatment) of a patient with hypopituitarism was carried out. Results. A clinical case of hypopituitarism in a 4-year-old girl with the manifestation of the disease in the form of progressive obesity in the first year of life is described. During physical examination, excessive development of subcutaneous fat in the absence of any other signs of endocrine pathology attracted attention. The child was monitored for a long time for obesity, hypothyroidism, and received hormone replacement therapy. The diagnosis of hypopituitarism was established only at the age of 3 years on the basis of a clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination, with the determination of a hormonal profile, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Conclusion. Hypopituitarism, due to the presence of isolated forms, is often disguised as other endocrinological diseases, so clinicians need to be more attentive to obese patients, evaluate their hormonal profile and, if necessary, conduct an MRI of the brain.

The results show what share in the structure of the total oncologic morbidity of children of the city of Voronezh and the region is occupied by children of early age - up to 3 years old. The data on the sex composition of children, on the place of residence, on the nosologic structure of morbidity are presented. Special attention is paid to the morbidity of the youngest age group - children of the first year of life. Conclusion. Children under 3 years of age make up 27.3% of all children with cancer, children of the first year of life - 28.6% of all children under 3 years of age.
Assessment of nutritional status in hospitalized children
Abstract
The article presents the data of the study on screening assessment of nutritional risk in children hospitalized in the infectious disease hospital of Voronezh using the STRONGKids questionnaire. Voronezh. Nutritional status is a complex of clinical, anthropometric and laboratory indicators characterizing the quantitative ratio of muscle and fat mass of a person. After all, any nutritional disorders lead to changes in metabolism and violation of adaptive capabilities of organisms due to the peculiarities of the child's body is formed quickly enough protein-energy insufficiency. Nutritional deficiency is a condition caused by a discrepancy between the intake of nutrients into the body and their consumption, which leads to a decrease in body weight and changes in the component composition of the body. Early screening and correction of nutritional deficiency will increase the effectiveness of therapeutic treatment, disease outcomes, reduce the risk of complications and reduce the number of bed days in hospital.
Analysis of daily blood pressure monitoring in children with normal body weight and obesity
Abstract
Relevance. Arterial hypertension is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The body mass index is a significant criterion that determines the value of the blood pressure level. Goal. To conduct a comparative analysis of the indicators of daily blood pressure monitoring in children with normal body weight and with obesity of 2 and 3 degrees. Materials and methods. A study was conducted that included an analysis of the medical records of patients diagnosed with hypertension. The sample consisted of adolescents aged 12-17 years who were treated in the cardiology and endocrinology departments of the VDCB in 2023-2024. The analysis of the data of anamnesis, instrumental examination (daily monitoring of blood pressure), pharmacotherapy was carried out. Results. In obese children, the values of maximum total systolic and diastolic blood pressure are higher than in patients with normal body weight, higher pulse blood pressure values are noted, the degree of nocturnal decrease in SAD and DAD is less pronounced, and the time index of systolic blood pressure during the day is higher. Conclusion. The severity of hypertension depends on the patient's body weight. According to daily monitoring of blood pressure in children with normal body weight, hypertension proceeds relatively favorably. In obese children, the course has an unfavorable character, stable arterial hypertension is most often detected.

Current issues in adolescent nutrition
Abstract
The Russian Federation is represented by many regions that have peculiarities of nutrition by seasons and regions. The Republic of Tatarstan is a multinational subject, the traditions of which influence the formation of children's nutritional habits. At the same time, the rhythm of large cities, employment in everyday life leads to an increase in the energy expended in a short period of time, which contributes to the popularization of "streetfood" and "fastfood". In this paper, we examine the influence of traditions and popularization of junk food relevant to adolescent's nutritional habits. The purpose of the study was to analyze the diet and food system, to determine the influence of ethnic traditions and junk food on food habits. In this article we present two studies conducted, in which parents and adolescents of the Republic of Tatarstan were questioned and children's diet was analyzed. As a result of these studies, a distortion of eating behavior was revealed, due to the influence of both the traditions of the region and the popularization of high-calorie food. Distortion of nutritional habits through the consumption of high-calorie and unbalanced food affects the disruption of the body system and internal organs of adolescents and leads to serious diseases of the cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
The article examines the influence of the idiopathic form of premature sexual development (iPPD) on the features of body composition, physical and sexual development in girls of preschool and primary school age. PPD is manifested by the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics in girls under 8 years of age and, with incorrect diagnosis and treatment, PPD can lead to stunting in adulthood, disability, decreased quality of life, social deprivation, impaired reproductive function, and tumor diseases. The indicators were evaluated using modern research methods (bioimpedance, sigma and centile tables, assessment of sexual development was carried out using Taner), which makes it possible to identify common patterns in the development of girls with STI. Among the features, it is worth noting that all patients had tallness and obesity of 1-2 degrees. The development of secondary sexual characteristics corresponds to stage II according to Tanner, characterized by "inverted" puberty. The component composition of the body is characterized by an increase in musculoskeletal mass and the proportion of musculoskeletal mass, bone mineral mass, active cell mass and the proportion of active cell mass, total fluid, and a high level of basal metabolism.
These studies can be used to correct the consequences that develop against the background of the underlying disease (STI).
The study of the features of the infant form of Pompe disease and defective disorders of β-fatty acids on a clinical example
Abstract
Introduction. The combination of two metabolic pathologies: glycogenosis type 2 known as Pompe disease and β -oxidation of fatty acids is extremely rare in practice, as far as the authors know, there is no scientific literature describing such a combination of the two diseases. Often, the infant form of Pompe disease causes the death of a child, due to progressive myopathy, in some cases even resuscitation measures have a low effect. Defective disorders of fatty acid oxidation are also highly lethal and can manifest themselves as a lag in neuropsychiatric development and damage to the muscular link. Goal. To study the features of the course of two rare metabolic diseases in a child with additional pathologies of a non-exchangeable nature. Materials and methods. A search for literary works on the chosen topic was performed, the medical history and discharge epicrisis, laboratory and instrumental results and patient genetics were studied. Statistical data on the occurrence of these pathologies among the child population have been processed. Results. A general description of the clinical case is given. The features of Pompe disease and congenital changes in the oxidation of fatty acids are revealed, assumptions are made about the dynamics of diseases and possible deviations in the development of the child in the future. The risks of the development and progression of certain disorders have been identified. Conclusions. The diseases have a number of similar symptoms, which contributes to an increased negative impact on the main life support systems of the child, which requires new approaches to the management of such children, if possible. The rarity of the disease precludes sufficient awareness of these diseases.
A clinical case of pathology of the short arm of chromosome 7 in a child
Abstract
Introduction. The genetics of diseases is currently an insufficiently studied, but actively developing scientific field. Chromosomal mutations with multiple manifestations of various pathologies due to the complexity of genetic combinations and extreme rarity lead to the fact that when such situations occur, doctors cannot fully provide professional assistance and predict the further course of the disease, as a result of lack of information. If we take into account the fact that such anomalies begin to manifest themselves symptomatically already in infancy and quite often cause serious deviations from the norm, as well as in some cases are life-threatening, then a long collection of necessary data on the pathogenesis and etiology of the disease can irreversibly worsen the patient's condition. Goal. To study the features of the clinical picture in pathology with a rare genetic anomaly. Materials and methods. The available scientific literature on the chosen topic is reviewed, the analysis of the medical history, discharge epicrisis, results of laboratory-instrumental, physical and genetic research is carried out. Results. The general characteristics of the clinical case are presented. Possible features of the disease have been identified. Conclusions. The main clinical picture of the pathology consists of a set of syndromes of damage to the nervous, cardiovascular, genitourinary and musculoskeletal systems. The patient has a delayed neuropsychiatric development and atrial septal defect, with relatively normal physical development.

ARFID: risk factors and early detection in children
Abstract
Eating disorders are becoming more common, and in 2013 two new concepts were introduced into psychiatric practice: avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and binge eating disorder (BED). Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder is a type of eating disorder in which people eat only within an extremely narrow range of foods. This disorder has so far been little studied, but it is increasingly common in younger and preschool children, which requires a cautious attitude towards this disease among both pediatricians and doctors of other specialties. On the basis of the VODKB № 2 and the MC "Zdorovy rebenok" in Voronezh in the period from October to December 2023, we conducted a study to find out how many children suffer from ARFID, to identify significant risk factors for the formation of this disease and the relationship between an eating disorder and other diseases of various etiologies.

Cardiac arrhythmias in pregnant women: diagnosis and treatment options
Abstract
Introduction. Heart rhythm disturbances can occur at any stage of pregnancy, their spectrum is wide, both benign and high-grade arrhythmias can be observed, which have a negative effect on the mother and the fetus, leading to a complicated course of pregnancy.The goal of study is determine the frequency, nature, possible causes of heart rhythm disturbances and the possibility of treatment during pregnancy. Materials and methods. The work was carried out in an antenatal clinic. A group of pregnant women (125 women) in the I-III trimester, aged 18 to 34 years, was selected. To diagnose arrhythmias and their possible causes, all pregnant women underwent a comprehensive examination.Result. The majority of pregnant women (68%) were diagnosed with various rhythm disturbances, which more often occurred against the background of various pathologies, their number increased with increasing gestational age. The most common types were sinus tachycardia, ventricular and atrial extrasystole. Supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia has been rarely observed.There were no severe arrhythmias in the pregnant women we observed. Treatment was carried out for poor tolerance of arrhythmias, clinically significant rhythm disturbances, taking into account existing somatic pathology.Conclusions. Most pregnant women experience various heart rhythm disturbances, the frequency of which increases with the duration of pregnancy. They occur most often against the background of somatic pathology. Drug correction of arrhythmias should be carried out after lifestyle modification and treatment of existing pathology with drugs approved for use in pregnant women.

The formation of dependence on mobile devices
Abstract
Introduction. Introduction. Currently, the study of the spread of bad habits among young people occupies one of the leading positions in the prevention of diseases. Dependence on mobile devices occupies one of the leading positions among people of all age groups. Adults and children spend hours in front of the screen of their smartphones, playing games and diving into social networks, which can negatively affect not only their learning process and sociality of activity, but also their health. Young people are more susceptible to this addiction than others, as they use their phones for study, communication and entertainment. Goal. To find out the key factors influencing the emergence of dependence on mobile devices, to develop and propose solutions to this problem. Materials and methods. To compile and analyze an anonymous questionnaire for a sociological study of addiction among medical university students. In addition, qualitative methods of information collection were used in the course of the study. Group discussions were held with students to identify their opinions and views on mobile phone addiction. Results. 49 people took part in the survey, the female gender prevailed. 28.6% of students are annoyed when they cannot use a mobile phone, and 49% are nervous when the phone battery is almost empty. Most people feel anxious when they forget their phone at home. Some respondents had problems with health, physical activity and learning process due to excessive use of mobile devices. According to the results of the survey, 75.5% of the respondents are stressed. 36.7% of students believe that it is necessary to reduce their phone usage time. According to the respondents, myopia and headaches were considered the main adverse consequences of excessive use of mobile phones. Students believe that in order to get rid of phone addiction, it is necessary, first of all, to assess their attitude to the phone and make it a rule to remove the phone from the bedroom in the evenings. Conclusions. The study of the formation of dependence on mobile phones is an urgent and important topic, especially among students. In the medical sense, addiction is defined as "a systemic change in the mental processes and behaviors of a person, characterized by a strong desire or persistent craving for a particular substance, object, or activity (an "addictive agent"), which may cause pleasure, euphoria, relief from stress, or a pleasant altered state of consciousness. Only through an integrated approach can effective strategies be developed to manage this problem and create healthy digital habits among students.

The prevalence of awareness of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases among students of RostSMU
Abstract
Introduction. Currently, the creation of a healthy nation is one of the most important tasks for the state, since a healthy nation is a guarantee of Russia's prosperity. According to WHO data, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. It should be noted that the majority of patients are people of working age, which affects the socio-economic indicators of our country. Goal. To determine whether there is a correlation between the gender identity of RostSMU students and their level of awareness of CVD factors, preventive measures and lifestyle. Materials and methods. The sample (n=350) was selected by the method of typical representatives based on the inclusion criteria – students of RostSMU. The respondents were divided into 2 groups: group 1 – girls and group 2 – boys. Results. The majority of respondents believe that physical inactivity, hard physical labor, stress and bad habits have an equal impact on CVD. The majority of students face CVD risk factors. Participants from the 1st group noted stress, overeating/obesity and physical inactivity, and from the 2nd group - bad habits, overeating/obesity and physical inactivity. It is worth noting that students take a number of measures to prevent the development of CVD – compliance with the principles of rational nutrition, exercise, minimizing stress and generating positive emotions. Conclusions. Both groups of students showed a fairly high level of awareness about the risk factors for developing CVD and measures for their prevention. No correlation was found.
Cholelithiasis as a norm of modern society
Abstract
Abstract.Introduction. Nutrition is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Currently, in Russia, according to Rosstat, 73.2% of men and 84.9% of women have diseases, the etiological factor of which is non-compliance with the diet. Cholelithiasis is no exception, its second name is "The Disease of civilization". The incidence of cholelithiasis increases significantly every year. Goal. To assess whether gallstone disease is the "norm" in the realities of the present time or not. Materials and methods. The object of the study were respondents from different courses of all faculties of TvSMU, patients in the surgical hospital of the GBUZ GKB No. 7 in Tver, as well as respondents with cholelithiasis. Results. The statistical data of the conducted study showed that in respondents with a confirmed diagnosis of gallstone disease and in respondents who did not have this diagnosis, the nature of nutrition and lifestyle practically did not differ from each other. Conclusion. Based on this study, it can be assumed that the entire population is susceptible to cholelithiasis, and therefore a special place should be given to the prevention of cholelithiasis.
The study of awareness of risk factors for the development of chronic noncommunicable diseases
Abstract
Resume. This research article examines the issue of awareness of risk factors for the
development of chronic non-communicable diseases. The purpose of the study is to determine
the level of awareness of the population about risk factors and the state of their own health.
Materials and methods of research. Data collection: A structured questionnaire was used to
collect information on risk factors for chronic noncommunicable diseases among the
population. Statistical analysis: To analyze public awareness of risk factors, a descriptive
statistical method will be used, including averages, standard deviations and percentages. A
correlation analysis method will be used to study the relationship between the level of
awareness of risk factors and demographic variables such as age, gender and education
Conclusions: The results of the study show that the surveyed people have low awareness
of risk factors for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases. Especially low
awareness relates to health monitoring, including ignorance of blood pressure, cholesterol
and glucose levels. This indicates a lack of information among the respondents about the
importance of these indicators for monitoring their health and identifying the risk of developing
chronic non-communicable diseases in time. In addition, the results show that they rarely visit
medical institutions. This may be due to an incorrect attitude towards one's health and a lack
of understanding of the importance of regular health monitoring. This highlights the need to
raise awareness of regular medical examinations and consultations to prevent chronic
noncommunicable diseases.
To study students' knowledge and understanding of sexually transmitted diseases and their prevention
Abstract
Introduction. Infectious diseases in general and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in particular are a pressing public health problem [1]. Every year, 500 million people acquire one of the four main forms of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs): chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis or trichomoniasis. In particular, among modern youth, where free sexual relations are increasingly spreading. Target. To study the knowledge and awareness of students in the field of sexually transmitted diseases. Materials and methods. Conducting a sociological study on the basis of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education “VSMU named after. N.N. Burdenko" Voronezh, Studencheskaya street 10. Questioning. Results. 124 people took part in the survey, of which only 75% of respondents know what an STD is, the remaining 25% have no idea what they are talking about; 31.5% of students began to be sexually active at the age of 14-17, more than half of students 52.4% believe that 2-3 partners or more per year is acceptable for our time, the main thing is to protect yourself, only 75.8% of students know If you become infected with an STI, you must treat the disease by consulting a doctor. Conclusions. A sociological study has shown that information messages occupy a large niche in the prevention of STDs. Reminders about the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases and other sexually transmitted diseases force students to think about their sex lives.

On the relevance of the construction of a waste processing plant in the Irkutsk region
Abstract
Introduction. The Irkutsk region is among the top ten most environmentally disadvantaged regions of Russia, ranking 79th in the national environmental rating. This environmental condition negatively affects the living standards and health of citizens. The aim of the work was to analyze the existing system of solid municipal waste collection and storage in the Irkutsk region, as well as the prospects for its development according to the data of official sources and a survey of residents. The following methods were used in the work: analytical, sociological, statistical (calculation of 95 % confidence interval (CI) and structural analysis). During the analysis of documents it was established that the priority method of waste management in the region is burial; the infrastructure for garbage processing is developing slowly, measures to reduce the volume of its formation and burial are not taken. The results of the questionnaire revealed that 85,2 % of the population support nature protection measures, 88,0 % of Irkutsk citizens are aware of the negative consequences of open disposal of garbage in landfills and 90,3 % agree with the need to modernize waste storage methods. Statistically significant differences are determined for two groups of respondents, one of which is in favor of the construction of a waste processing plant – 90,3 %, and the other is against – 1,7 %, which indicates a high level of acceptance of innovations in waste processing by the population of the Irkutsk region.

Daytime sleepiness and food preferences students of a medical university
Abstract
Studying the influence of daytime sleepiness on the diet of medical students is of interest, with the aim of developing a commitment to the principles of healthy eating and sleep hygiene among future doctors.
The subject of the study was to study the manifestations of daytime sleepiness and eating habits among medical students.
Materials and methods. The study included data from 174 female second, third and fourth year students who completed a survey using the Epworth Daytime Sleepiness Scale and the ESSE-RF questionnaire (information about the respondents, body mass index, information about foods).
Results and conclusion. Girls with symptoms of daytime sleepiness more often noted the absence of fish and/or seafood in their weekly diet (p=0.03). Girls without significant manifestations of daytime sleepiness were less likely to add additional salt to their food (p=0.02), and also somewhat less likely to drink sugar-containing drinks (p=0.09). Most students, regardless of Epworth score, did not include the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in their daily diet. There were no significant differences in body weight among girls.
Possible causes of deterioration of students' memory in preparation for exams
Abstract
Introduction. Many students note a decrease in their memorization abilities during exam preparation. The article explores the possible and actual causes of this process. The main role in memory impairment is played by hypoxia, which develops for a number of reasons, including due to the occurrence and progression of fatigue. It stimulates pathological processes in neurons and causes a violation of the formation of synapses between them. There are also other negative factors that cause violations of information assimilation — as a rule, incorrect rest and a violation of the balance between rest and mental stress. The goal of this study is identifiting which of the negative factors are most relevant for students and suggest options for adjusting their daily routine. Materials and methods. A search for literary sources has been carried out to establish a link between negative effects on the body and the formation of brain hypoxia. To identify the actual types of negative impacts, a survey of students of the medical institute was created and conducted. The survey was conducted with 100 students. Based on a survey of students of the medical institute, the main factors that lead to the development of hypoxia and fatigue are identified — a violation of the daily routine, a decrease in sleep duration, as well as the use of products that stimulate the activity of the nervous system.
Regional aspects of anti-drug education of students of natural sciences of Kursk and Voronezh regions in the new medical and social conditions of post-pandemic reality
Abstract
Resume. Introduction. Drug addiction is a significant problem in the modern world. Federal legislation on health protection defines prevention as the sphere of competence of regional authorities, and in the regions of the Chernozem region, legal acts and targeted programs have been adopted that are different in content, but conceptually similar: they are all based on the priority of anti-drug education of young people, but different bodies and institutions are empowered to provide methodological support and practical implementation of thematic events. In this regard, there is a need for comparative monitoring of the indicators of various forms of anti-drug education in neighboring territories. The purpose of the work. To study the differences in the implementation and information content of work on the prevention of drug-related diseases among students of the natural science profile of the Kursk and Voronezh regions. Materials and methods. In the Kursk region, within the framework of the project supported by the RSF grant №23-28-10301, a survey of 423 students studying in medical and biological specialties was conducted. The volume of a similar study conducted by Voronezh State Medical University named after N.N. Burdenko in its region amounted to 718 observations. In data processing, the calculation and comparison of the proportions of respondents for each position were used, with the calculation of confidence intervals at p≤0.05 and the assessment of the reliability of the data difference for the Kursk and Voronezh regions according to the Student's criterion. Results. The events most widely held in the Voronezh Region, which covered more than 30% of the surveyed students, are organized video screenings, including educational films, self–access to medical Internet resources, and face-to-face lectures by doctors. In the Kursk region, coverage rates of 30% or more were obtained for videos and speeches by medical workers directly in front of student groups. The approach itself in Kursk can be assessed as less centralized, since there is no such obvious group of leading events as in Voronezh. Conclusion. The data obtained indicate a more centralized nature of anti-drug work with natural science students in Voronezh and a greater variety of approaches to prevention in Kursk. Among students of medical and biological specialties of the Voronezh Region, involvement in research and journalistic work with independent study and analysis of professional information is much more common.

Deformation of mental disorders in the misuse of synthetic cannabinoids
Abstract
Introduction. Since the early 2000s, psychiatrists and narcologists in Russia and Europe began to notice an increase in the number of mental disorders associated with the use of synthetic cannabinoids (SC). Our and other studies have previously shown that the use of this drug contributes to the onset of acute psychotic states and in certain cases may be a factor contributing to the development of schizophrenia. The impact of synthetic cannabinoids on mental disorders is still poorly understood and remains a pressing issue to this day. Target. studying the phenomenon of deformation of mental disorders due to the abuse of synthetic cannabinoids. Materials and methods. 285 men were examined: 235 with addiction to SC (F12.2), (of which 97 were diagnosed with personality and behavioral disorders in adulthood (F60.xx–F62.xx), 139 with schizophrenia F20.xx), as well as 50 people with schizophrenia without substance abuse or dependence. The study took place on the basis of psychiatric institutions in the Tomsk region (SibiFNKTs, Seversk; Research Institute of PZ, TKPB, SSMP, Tomsk), St. Petersburg (PND No. 5, PB No. 2") and Nizhnevartovsk (NPNB), Noyabrsk (NPND). Methods. Follow-up, clinical-psychopathological (PANS, SANS, CGI, MMPI), statistical (SPSS, Python). Results. SCs can initiate a state of intoxication, contributing to the occurrence of psychotic episodes and serve as a “trigger” for the development of schizophrenia. There are four types of drug intoxication: delusional, schizophrenic, with pseudohallucinations and delirious. The personality traits of patients dependent on SC are directly related to such manifestations as emotional instability, rigidity, introversion and a tendency to deviant behavior. Characteristics of nonconformist personality disorder patients who abuse drugs include disorganization, conflict, unpredictability, spontaneity, frivolity, impulsiveness, and non-compliance with rules and regulations. The use of SC can smooth out the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and cause an exacerbation of exogenous psychoproductive symptoms; it can also shorten the period of drug addiction formation and introduce new symptoms associated with withdrawal syndrome. Patients with schizophrenia who abuse SC do not experience an emotional defect, showing emotionality and a desire to communicate. Conclusions. The phenomenon of SC abuse has become one of the main factors contributing to the emergence of distorted mental disorders. In the clinical picture of exacerbations of schizophrenia, stable exogenous threatening illusory, hallucinatory, and delirious perception disorders are observed. In a state of remission of schizophrenia, the ability to adapt to social and professional environments, mainly associated with addiction and the criminal sphere, is surprisingly revealed. However, the stigmatizing feature here is the predominance of volitional disorders, which manifest themselves in emotional apathy, as well as in frequent cases of rehospitalization not directly related to drug addiction. Patients suffering from schizophrenia and personality disorders have behavioral disorders characterized by a tendency to crime, rejection of society, a desire for isolation in their addictive environment, as well as increased suspicion and suspiciousness. In people with a personality disorder, actual “schizophrenic” behavior can be noted.

Comprehensive assessment of students' knowledge about maintaining reproductive health
Abstract
The purpose of the work was to study the level of knowledge of students about reproductive health, measures to preserve and strengthen it, family planning, prevention of unwanted pregnancy. Materials and research methods. The study was conducted using a survey method in 2023 on the basis of medical organizations in Voronezh, Voronezh State Medical University. N.N. Burdenko, as well as through social networks. 98 people took part in the survey. The questionnaire was developed taking into account the age of the respondents and consisted of 20 questions. Research results. Protecting and improving the reproductive health of the population of our country has been one of the key health tasks of our state over the past decades. Considering the steady trend towards a decrease in the birth rate, an increase in mortality and, as a consequence, a decrease in the country's population, the issue of preserving the reproductive health of young people is especially acute. As part of a study conducted among students at Voronezh State Medical University, the level of students' awareness of reproductive health issues was studied. An anonymous survey was conducted among students aged 17 to 25 years, among them 74.5% were girls, 25.5% were young people. The vast majority of students surveyed (97.2%) believe that they have the necessary knowledge in the field of reproductive health , 1.5% of respondents note an insufficient level of their knowledge, 1.3% of students are not interested in this topic at all. At the same time, all 100% of respondents studied issues related to contraception and prevention of STDs. According to the survey results, the majority of respondents prefer condoms (76.5%), some indicated COCs (10.2%), the rest have no preference, but believe that chemical contraceptives are more convenient. Of those who consider their knowledge sufficient, 38.8% still doubt the correct choice of contraception and plan to consult a doctor on this issue in the future. When asked about the effectiveness of various types of contraception, taking into account the prevention of STDs and unwanted pregnancy, many indicated: barrier methods - 89.7%, chemical methods - 5.1%, the rest doubted the correctness of their knowledge. Part of the questionnaire was devoted to the problems of abortion. Unfortunately, not everyone knows that abortion always has some consequences, so they admit that it can be carried out not only for medical reasons, but also at one’s own request (12.2%). When asked what consequences an abortion can have, the following answers were received: infertility - 51%, inflammatory processes - 20.4%, depression/psychological problems - 15.3%, massive bleeding - 5.1%, menstrual irregularities - 18, 4%, do not know about the negative consequences - 14.3%. Of interest are the sources of student knowledge on the topic of reproductive health. The result was as follows: 20.4% of respondents received the first necessary knowledge from their parents, at school during special classes - 17.1%, from friends - 10.2%, from a doctor - 11.3%, pointed to the media (media ), including the Internet - 28.6%, from popular science literature - 9.8%, 2.6% of respondents indicated other sources. At the same time, 64.5% of students consider it appropriate to study these issues in the university curriculum . The most convenient forms for them to obtain this knowledge at a university were the introduction of an elective (optional) course on reproductive health issues - 66.3%, consultations and lectures by a practicing doctor/teacher 39.4%. Some of the questions in the questionnaire were devoted to the topic of family planning. According to the survey results, it turned out that the majority believe that it is necessary to start a family after 25 years - 76.5%, before 25 years - 15.3%, age does not matter - 8.2%. The optimal number of children in a family was indicated: one child – 30.6%, two children – 53.0%, three children – 8.2%, the more the better – 8.2%. To the question: is it necessary to plan a pregnancy, all 100% answered positively, but what specific measures need to be taken before the desired pregnancy, more than 50% of students expressed doubts about their knowledge. Upon further study of this aspect, it turned out that the majority do not know about the need to get tested for STDs, HIV and other tests. Only a third (30.6%) know about recommendations for a healthy lifestyle, taking courses of vitamin therapy and organizing proper nutrition “before an upcoming event.” The majority of guys (more than 70%) do not consider it necessary to quit smoking before planning conception, and girls believe that it is possible to stop smoking/reduce nicotine consumption only during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Unfortunately, 100% of the survey participants are aware of the negative impact of smoking on the body, but smokers do not plan to give up their addiction in the near future. The attitude of young people towards alcoholic beverages is of concern.The majority (81.6%) of respondents believe that alcohol has a negative effect not only on the central nervous system, but also on the reproductive system, but the majority think that the consequences are reversible. Also, 8.2% of respondents indicated that drinking alcohol during pregnancy in minimal quantities does not have a negative effect on the development of the fetus. Conclusion. This paper presented the results of a survey of students in order to study knowledge about reproductive health and identify factors influencing it. The survey generally showed that students are well informed on the issues of contraception and pregnancy planning, but they would like to improve their knowledge. In addition, the identified problem of a lack of knowledge about preparing for pregnancy and a frivolous attitude towards smoking/alcohol is alarming and requires the development of measures to address this issue. The results obtained can be used to develop programs and activities that will help improve the reproductive health of students and improve their awareness. This is an important step in maintaining optimal health in youth and preventing future reproductive problems.

Comparative analysis of modern methods of activation of sodium hypochlorite in endodontic treatment
Abstract
Medical treatment of canals is a determining factor in the success of endodontic treatment, since when pathogenic microflora persists in root canals, re-infection and development of inflammatory reaction inside the canal occurs, as well as the spread of bacteria into preapical tissues. The article discusses various modern methods of sodium hypochlorite activation during endodontic treatment and their effect on the root canal system. The work raises the question of the effect of ultrasonic vibrations and sonic action on root canals, as well as their ability to remove and dissolve infected dentin, smear layer, biofilm and dentinal filings. The purpose of the study is to study the effect of different methods of activating hypochlorite and finding the optimal one. The conclusions of the study were based on the study of images obtained from a digital microscope camera with a lens magnification of x10. The most effective method of activating hypochlorite in endodontic treatment was found when working in the root canal system of various anatomy, with the help of which it is possible to thoroughly carry out antiseptic treatment, clean the canals from infected dentin and dissolve necrotic masses. In addition, the study found disadvantages of other activation methods, which reduce the quality of root canal disinfection and can lead to a number of complications.
Morphology of the oral cavity organs during pregnancy and the reason for their changes
Abstract
Abstract. The oral cavity is the entrance gate and the location of many pathological processes of various origins. Toxins, microorganisms and breakdown products of tissues and cells can be disseminated in the body and have a negative effect on the ripening fruit. Prevention of dental diseases in pregnant women can help prevent the occurrence of various pathologies of the child's oral cavity. Moreover, pathogenic and opportunistic pathogens that spread through the mother's body can enter the fetus, which will lead to more serious disorders such as congenital heart disease, deformities or miscarriage. A decrease in the immune status during pregnancy contributes to the occurrence of the above pathologies. The conducted sociological research in the form of a survey showed that pregnant women in most cases are poorly or unaware of the rules of oral hygiene and the risks that non-compliance entails. Almost half of the respondents identified the second the trimester of pregnancy as the period of the most frequent occurrence of inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity. It is necessary to conduct preventive and educational activities to prevent the occurrence of stomatitis, gingivitis and other pathologies, and therefore reduce the likelihood of pregnancy disorders.
Non-standard approaches to the treatment of oral diseases
Abstract
Nowadays, people are increasingly trying to abandon synthetic drugs in the treatment and prevention of dental diseases due to the side effects they cause. Medicinal plants are an excellent alternative for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases due to their non-toxicity, effectiveness, accessibility and cheapness. The most common remedies are: aloe vera, calendula officinalis, Chinese camellia, chamomile, turmeric, sage, propolis, ginger. The aim of the work was to determine the propensity for oral diseases among medical university students and to study alternative treatment of these diseases using herbs. The research method was a questionnaire and subsequent analysis of statistical data. The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions about the presence of disorders in the oral cavity. According to the results of the survey, it was revealed that 45.2% suffer from gingivitis, 33.2% of respondents have periodontitis, 3.8% suffer from oral candidiasis, 63% have stomatitis. After the use of medicinal herbs, patients were interviewed about the condition of the mucous membrane. A positive reaction of the body to treatment with medicinal plants was revealed based on the results of our research. Thus, the treatment of oral diseases with herbs allows you to establish the tendency of the mucous membrane to recover.

Treatment of patients suffering from xerostomia with salivation stimulants and saliva substitutes
Abstract
Introduction. According to the literature, the number of people suffering from dry mouth is growing every year. The reasons for this are related to the living conditions in modern megacities: stress, environmental pollution, etc. In many cases, patients consult a doctor only at a late stage of the disease, since the methods of diagnosing pathology are not sufficiently developed. Despite the various remedies and techniques proposed for the treatment of xerostomia, the search for the most effective and promising approaches to the treatment of this condition remains an urgent problem of dentistry. Conclusion. According to data published in the literature, in the treatment of patients suffering from objective xerostomia, a course of treatment carried out at intervals of 1-2 months per year helps to reduce inflammatory phenomena of the oral mucosa and improve oral comfort. This therapeutic effect is manifested in a decrease in the viscosity of saliva, an increase in its secretion and a positive effect on the function of the salivary glands, which reduces the feeling of dry mouth by the patient.
Changes in the oral cavity in patients with functional dyspepsia
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. The topic of changes in the oral cavity of patients with functional dyspepsia remains understudied. Dyspeptic symptoms include belching, postprandial fullness, early satiety, epigastric pain, and burning sensation. Functional dyspepsia is diagnosed when no organic etiology of the symptoms is identified. Objective. To analyze changes in the oral cavity of patients with functional dyspepsia. Materials and methods. Patients were surveyed using Coogl forms, and dental examinations were conducted on patients with an average age of 21 years. The collected surveys were analyzed to identify common manifestations in the oral cavity. Results. Changes in the oral cavity characteristic of patients with functional dyspepsia were identified. A higher percentage of patients had a yellowish tint to their teeth, paleness of the oral mucosa, and stomatitis. Conclusions. The most significant findings from the analysis of changes in the oral cavity of patients with functional dyspepsia include the frequent occurrence of stomatitis, paleness of the oral mucosa, and changes in tooth enamel color. In the management of gastroenterological patients with dental issues, the involvement of a dentist is necessary. Further research on the microbiological status of saliva and the oral mucosa is needed. Only through collaborative efforts between gastroenterologists and dentists can the quality of life of patients be improved.
Clinical and radiological assessment of mesial occlusion associated with congenital skeletal abnormalities of the jaw bones
Abstract
Despite the fact that there is currently a sufficient amount of reliable information to study and establish various patterns of the clinical and radiological picture of patients with mesial occlusion, this topic remains relevant for its theoretical and practical consideration. The goal. Clinical, anthropometric and radiological assessment of jaw bone abnormalities in individuals with mesial occlusion of the dentition. Materials and methods. A clinical examination of 10 patients with skeletal mesial occlusion, an analysis of their orthopantomograms and telerentgenograms in lateral projection, as well as an anthropometric study based on photographs of the examined patients, followed by mathematical and statistical analysis of the information obtained, was performed. Results. According to the results of the analysis of telerentgenograms in the lateral projection of the subjects, a decrease in the angles of SNA and ANB was revealed in all probants. In all patients, the SNPog angle exceeds the value of the SNB angle. We have identified a significant deviation from the norm of the Beta angle. The determination of the inclination of the lower jaw relative to the plane of the base of the skull of the NSe showed that only one patient has the norm. The mandibular angle, showing the mutual inclination of the upper and lower jaw, indicated the norm in only 1 case. In most cases, protrusion of the upper incisors was revealed both relative to the base of the skull and relative to the plane of the upper jaw NL, in one patient the position of the upper incisors relative to the base of the skull is normal, and relative to the upper jaw - in protrusion, in another patient - retrusion relative to the base of the skull and protrusion relative to the plane of the upper jaw. The retraction of the incisors of the mandible relative to the plane of the mandible was revealed in 100% of cases. The incisor angle of all the subjects turned out to be higher than normal. Conclusions. Treatment planning for patients with gnatic mesial occlusion should be carried out taking into account the type of growth of the facial skeleton. The vertical type of growth favours correction of the 3rd skeletal class, and the horizontal type of growth creates difficulties in the treatment process.
Dynamics of stability indicators of dental implants with a hydrophilic surface in patients with somatic pathology
Abstract
Introduction. In orthopedic dentistry, one of the most pressing problems is the restoration of dentition One of the modern methods of orthopedic treatment of complete and partial absence of teeth is dental prosthetics using dental implants. However, the presence of somatic pathology in the patient’s medical history is one of the contraindications to implantation. In thyrotoxicosis, as a result of an increase in thyroid hormones, bone resorption prevails over bone formation, which leads to a decrease in bone mass (Masalova, R.V. Zakharenko; 2009) and calls into question the successful osseointegration of implants and calls into question the successful osseointegration of implants. The main approach to increasing the osseointegrative properties of implants is to actively modify their surface, resulting in a maximum area of contact with the adjacent bone tissue and, at the same time, stimulating the process of remodeling of this bone [Alekhin et al 2000; Novochadov et al. 2013;]. The above data substantiated the relevance and prompted us to study the dynamics of stability indicators for the objective diagnosis of osseointegration processes when using implants with a hydrophilic surface in patients with thyroid pathology.

Assessment of the attitude of students of Burdenko Voronezh State Medical University to the use of telemedicine technologies as a modern direction of medical counseling
Abstract
Resume. Introduction. In our ever-evolving world, the application and improvement of information technology is a critical issue. The digitalisation of health services became most discussed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the shift to telemedicine (TM) that was seen as a possible way to modernise COVID-19 prevention and diagnosis counselling for the population. A large part of people's lives involves the use of various gadgets, and with the increase in the pace of life and urbanisation, more and more urban populations are preferring to communicate with specialists of various specialties online, doctors being no exception. This way of counselling saves travel time, allows you to get the opinion of a specialist from another city, and is especially comfortable for people with disabilities. In addition, telemedicine is an important area for doctors of various specialities. In this way, specialists can hold consultations and share their experience with colleagues, have an opportunity to consult patients from other regions. However, with the emergence of opportunities for the implementation of telemedicine activities, questions regarding the awareness of doctors and patients about Article 36, paragraph 2 of the Federal Law N323 ‘On the Fundamentals of Health Protection of Citizens in the Russian Federation’, which regulates the specifics of medical care provided through the use of telemedicine technologies, have become more and more frequent. The goal of this study. To study the awareness of medical university students about the use of telemedicine technologies and to assess their attitude to the modern direction of medical counselling. Materials and methods of the study. In order to fulfil the set goal, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 94 students of N.N. Burdenko VSMU. Representatives of 3 faculties were chosen for the study: medical, paediatric, and dental. Since doctors-graduates of these faculties most often have to consult patients on prevention, diagnostics and treatment of diseases at offline or online appointments.Results. As a result of the conducted sociological survey we can conclude that the majority of the surveyed medical students (97.9%) evaluate telemedicine technologies as a necessary direction of medicine development in the Russian Federation. The participants of the survey consider the objectives of online consultations put forward in Federal Law No. 323 to be correct, but still 8.5% are convinced that there is a need to supplement the current law in the form of the possibility for patients to receive prescriptions for medicines. Despite the fact that respondents are aware of telemedicine technologies, only 10.9% of them have applied for remote medical consultation in person or know about such experience from relatives or acquaintances. According to the survey data, it is possible to increase the level of telemedicine application if such significant disadvantages of this direction are eliminated as distrust of the population to extramural counselling, probability of personal data ‘leakage’, lack of full coverage of the Internet on the whole territory of the country, shortage of specialists ready to conduct online consultations. Conclusions. Thus, on the part of the medical community, ways of solving the problems highlighted as a result of the questionnaire survey of medical university students can be tried: 1) preventive conversations with patients in medical institutions, at enterprises, in educational institutions about the possibility of using telemedicine technologies; 2) counselling of medical specialists and students of medical universities on the application of telemedicine in their practice. This will make it possible to popularise remote medical consultations and open up new opportunities for optimising the provision of highly qualified medical care to the population.

Regardless of the period of the academic year, medical students were found to have sleep quality disturbance as well as reduced sleep duration, indicating labour and rest disturbance.
A possible model of leadership competencies in health care - a contemporary view of medical school students
Abstract
The new business conditions represent the use of a modern management concept in the field of healthcare, where exceptional concentration is paid to the training of managers who are a group of new managers in the social space. In modern society, there is a shortage of doctors of various specialties in healthcare, as well as managers with certain competencies to ensure the management of a medical organization. The characteristics of a healthcare organizer include numerous skills in various areas of activity, and it is worth noting that managers at different levels do not always possess them. In addition to certain skills or competencies of leaders, personal analysis and the development of certain competencies related to stress resistance, communication with the team and attitude to patients of a medical organization are also interesting. We consider the relevance of analyzing the qualities, and possibly the competencies of a leader that a modern leader needs to have in our article.
Purpose of the work: based on the processing of students' questionnaires and retrospective analysis of scientific literature on the subject of leadership and management in the health care system to identify the main qualities that a leader should possess.
Materials and methods: In the course of our work a questionnaire was developed in which the qualities and competencies that were most frequently encountered in the answers were selected on the basis of interviewing senior students of N.N. Burdenko VSMU medical (80%) and pediatric (16%) faculties and residents (4%).
1. Most students believe that the main qualities of a global leader are charisma, the ability to find an approach to any person; emotional intelligence and the ability to influence people.
2. Students share a democratic leadership style, but only 72% recognize its effectiveness in the healthcare system.
3. In the health care system, none of the traditional higher styles is found in its pure form; 72% of students believe that a leader should not be limited to one leadership style.

Abstract
Abstract.Introduction. Smoking remains one of the most common harmful habits of mankind. In recent years, the list of nicotine delivery vehicles has changed significantly. And in order to prevent smoking-related diseases, it is necessary to assess the age-related aspects of the prevalence of various types of nicotine addiction. Goal. Compare the prevalence and characteristics of smoking in different age groups. Materials and methods. The material was collected during a survey of students of various universities in the Voronezh region and patients of the polyclinic of the BUZ VO "VGKP No. 7" City polyclinic No. 21. A total of 100 people were interviewed, who were divided into the following groups according to age: 1 group - 18-35 years old - 40 people (23 men and 17 women); 2 group 36-60 years old - 30 people (17 women and 13 men); 3 group - over 60 – 30 people (19 women and 11 men). Results. According to the survey conducted, it can be stated that people aged 18-60 suffer more from nicotine addiction than representatives of the older age group. It is also worth noting that the prevalence of vapes and electronic tobacco heating systems is most widespread among young people (up to 35 years old), and significantly exceeds the popularity of cigarettes in this age group. Conclusions. This information, coupled with the low interest of young people in quitting nicotine addiction, shows the need for active primary prevention of smoking among young people, with special attention to electronic nicotine delivery devices.

Patient-centered approach as an important tool for effective interaction between a doctor and a patient. Awareness of medical students in Russia and CIS countries
Abstract
Introduction. The Federal Law "On the Basics of Health Protection of Citizens in the Russian Federation" (Article 6) prescribes that a doctor must communicate with a patient while observing ethical and moral norms, showing respect and humanism from the medical staff and other individuals representing a medical organization.
Currently, the issues of patient-centeredness in healthcare are being increasingly discussed, and the problem of building doctor-patient relationships is becoming more acute. That is why it is important to introduce future specialists to the concept of a "patient-centered approach" during their education and train them in applying its methods in practice.
Objective: to analyze the awareness of students in medical universities in Russia and CIS countries about the patient-centered approach.
Materials and methods: a survey was conducted, in which medical students from 20 regions of the Russian Federation and Belarus participated.
The following data were of the greatest interest: the students' awareness of the concept of "patient-centeredness"; their opinion on what medical care should be like to correspond to the patient-centered approach; reasons why not all doctors currently pay attention to the communication aspect and interaction with patients; qualities that a specialist in a medical organization should possess.
Results: 103 medical students from 20 regions of Russia and Belarus participated in the survey. Of those surveyed, 40.8% were not familiar with the concept of "patient-centeredness." 94% noted that the main quality in a doctor's work is "professionalism," while 92% chose "politeness, respect for the patient."
Conclusions: based on the survey results, it can be concluded that students in medical universities understand the importance of a doctor's ability to communicate correctly with patients, find an approach to them, based on patient-centered methods.

The possibility of correcting cognitive impairment with vitamin B12
Abstract
Resume. In the Russian population, there have been practically no studies on the effect of vitamin B12 deficiency on cognitive functions. The relevance of the study is due to the increasing number of cognitive impairments and the tendency to rejuvenate diseases. One of the factors of cognitive decline is vitamin B12 deficiency. The purpose of this study is to find modern and timely opportunities to correct cognitive impairments that occur against the background of cyanocobalamin and folic acid deficiency by sharing these missing vitamins during treatment. Materials and methods. A search of literature sources was carried out in order to identify the possibility of correcting cognitive impairment with vitamin B12, as well as to identify the relationship between the level of cognitive impairment and vitamin B12 intake in respondents. Results. Three groups of respondents were identified, among which cognitive functions were assessed. The relationship of vitamin B12 and B9 deficiency with the level of cognitive impairment and lifestyle has been determined. Conclusions. The model of interaction of the metabolism of vitamins B12 and B9 in the human body, occurring in the folate cycle, has a complex effect on many processes in the body, including brain activity manifested by higher nervous activity (memory, attention, etc.). A relationship has been found about the effect of cyanocobalamin and folic acid on cognitive activity of the brain and psychogenic manifestation deficiency conditions of these vitamins, as well as the effect of bad habits, such as smoking, on the absorption of these vitamins and the depletion of their internal reserves in the body. The relationship between homocysteinemia and the metabolic processes of vitamin B12 and folic acid has been established through their joint interaction in the folate cycle, during which methionine is synthesized from homocysteine. Along with the development of the popularization of complex vitamin therapy in medical practice, this work proposes to place not only a significant emphasis on preventive and timely treatment with vitamin preparations, but also to highlight the problem of vitamin deficiencies among the population.

Periodontitis of an infectious nature is one of the most frequent reasons for going to the dentist, as a result of which drugs for permanent canal obturation with additional antimicrobial action become particularly relevant. Goal. To analyze the effectiveness of Granulotec for the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis. Materials and methods. Literary sources have been studied in the databases CyberLeninka, Elibrary, PubMed, Scopus. A clinical study was conducted with the participation of 14 people aged 23 to 59 with a diagnosis of chronic apical periodontitis according to ICD-10 04.5, 9 had difficult-to-pass channels. A total of 19 teeth were endodontically treated with a Granulotec permanent canal obturation drug. To assess the effectiveness, an assessment of X-ray images was used in terms of 3, 6, 12 months using a modified periapical index PAI. Results. X-ray and clinical examinations of patients after endodontic treatment of granulomatous periodontitis and impenetrable root canals using Granulotec drug prove the effectiveness of this filling material (successful treatment in 83, 33%). Conclusion. The results of the study allow us to recommend the use of Granulotec in the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis and impenetrable root canals.
The use of psychedelic drugs as a treatment for depressive disorders
Abstract
Introduction. Depressive disorders, characterized by a low mood and other symptoms, are becoming increasingly common, especially among young people. Therefore, it is important to find new, more effective methods of treating depression. Objective. To explore scientific research on new perspectives in the treatment of depressive disorders using psychedelics. Materials and Methods. Literature was reviewed to study modern methods of treating depressive disorders, as well as to analyze the frequency of ineffective modern treatment in such cases. Based on foreign studies, we also examined proposed methods of treating depressive disorders with LSD and psilocybin. Results. Research shows that psychedelic substances, such as LSD and psilocybin, can be used as fast-acting antidepressants with a long-lasting therapeutic effect comparable to existing medications. Scientists have hypothesized that the hallucinogenic effects of psychedelics can be separated, leaving only their antidepressant and stimulating properties associated with increased neuroplasticity the brain's ability to change and form new connections between neurons under the influence of new experiences. Research also shows that psychedelics affect brain-derived neurotrophic factor and its receptor TrkB, which contributes to enhanced neuroplasticity. Conclusions. Thus, there is a possibility of developing compounds or their combinations that retain the antidepressant properties of psychedelics without the hallucinogenic effect. Understanding the mechanisms of action of psychedelics opens up new perspectives for more effective and safe use of these drugs in medical practice.

The first group of patients with first time. The second group –with recurrent stroke. Results. In patients with a single stroke, taking Apiksaban 5 mg 2 times a day, a decrease in glomerular filtration rate to less than 50 ml/min and gastric bleeding was detected in 7% of cases respectively and 40% of patients had a recurrent stroke. The effectiveness of Eliquis exceeds the effectiveness of Rivaroxaban by 6%. Conclusions. NOACs have similar efficacy; do not require constant laboratory monitoring, dosage adjustment, or diet; are more effective in reducing the risk of stroke than Warfarin. NOACs can cause complications – gastrointestinal bleeding, impaired renal function.
Features and comparative characteristics of local hemostatic preparations based on zeolite, chitosan and kaolin
Abstract
Introduction. In modern practice, massive bleeding is the most important and frequent preventable cause of death at the prehospital stage, which is why constant developments are underway in this area. The most modern and relevant solution to this problem, along with classical methods, is the use of local hemostatic agents, which at the same time not only increase the chances of survival of the victim, but also significantly reduce the risks of delayed complications.The goal of this study is to study the main types of local hemostatic agents, their mechanisms of action, the most optimal methods of application and give them a comparative characteristic, depending on the active substance and the form of release. Materials andmethods. The analysis of literary sources in text databases and citation systems Elibrary, PubMed, Scopus is carried out.Conclusions.The modern arsenal of local hemostatic agents is quite wide and diverse, including many active substances and forms of release, however, the most convenient and effective in the prehospital stage for massive bleeding, including arterial bleeding, are kaolin and chitosan preparations, produced in the form of special tampon bandages.
Comparative analysis of the structure of prescriptions for fixed combinations of antihypertensive drugs containing diuretics
Abstract
Introduction. Currently, no little effort is being made on the territory of the Russian Federation to treat hypertension. And despite the great efforts of the healthcare system and doctors, this disease remains one of the most significant medical and social problems. This is due to: the widespread spread of this disease, the lack of blood pressure control even with drug therapy in a significant proportion of patients, as well as the fact that hypertension is the main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke, mainly determining the high mortality rate in the country. Goal. To conduct a comparative analysis of the structure of prescriptions for fixed combinations of antihypertensive drugs containing diuretics. Materials and methods. A search of literature sources was carried out in order to identify the most popular fixed combinations of antihypertensive drugs containing diuretics. During the study, data were obtained on the structure of consumption of antihypertensive drugs in the form of fixed combinations. A comparison was made of the structure of the market of antihypertensive drugs in pharmacies in the cities of Kursk, Orel, Kaluga, Bryansk and Smolensk for 2021 and 2022. Results. The most popular and least popular combination of drugs for 2021 and 2022 in kind (in packages) has been identified. The most popular is "indapamide + perindopril" - "ACE inhibitor + diuretic", the least popular is "BMCC + diuretic". Conclusions. Fixed combinations of antihypertensive drugs containing diuretics occupy a worthy place in the pharmacotherapy of hypertension. This approach significantly improves the quality of life of patients, as well as facilitates the work of doctors and pharmacists. It can also be noted that, from an economic point of view, the purchase of these drugs leads to significant benefits for patients.
Prospects of HBx-targeted therapy for hepatitis B virus
Abstract
Introduction. The incidence of viral hepatitis B is a pressing issue in healthcare, prompting the need for new approaches to disease therapy. The question remains open regarding the development of new treatment strategies. Objective. To analyze contemporary data on the molecular mechanisms of viral hepatitis B pathogenesis and promising directions in antiviral therapy. Materials and methods. Literature search and analysis were conducted on platforms such as Elibrary, PubMed, CyberLeninka, and Scopus to identify the latest research results in the field of viral hepatitis B pathogenesis and key perspectives in antiviral therapy. Results. The data on the mechanisms of HBx protein functioning in viral hepatitis B have been obtained. Three promising directions in antiviral therapy aimed at reducing HBx protein production or limiting its activity were identified: nitazoxanide - a drug inhibiting the interaction of HBx with host cell proteins, which is important for the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis; dicoumarol - a substance promoting HBx degradation; monoclonal antibodies against HBx. Conclusions. HBx protein is the most important link in the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis B. Antiviral HBx-targeted therapy is potentially effective in the treatment of acute and chronic forms of viral hepatitis B and requires further studies.

Abstract
Currently, there is a growing global interest in the use of herbal medicines and their main components for the development of new effective medicines with fewer side effects. Portulaca Oleracea L. is an annual succulent plant of the Portulaceae family, subclass of Caryophyllidae. It is widely distributed all over the world. In Russia, it grows in the south of the European part, in the Caucasus and the Far East, cosmopolitan, eurychorus. The distribution area is disjunctive, contour-dotted. It grows in well-moistened habitats - hygrophyte, light-loving. Due to the lack of scientifically sound data on both the chemical composition and the accumulation of plant metabolites, portulacea is not a pharmacopoeia species. And also, the raw materials are not included in the state pharmacopoeia of the XIV edition, and are used in official medicine of Russia. According to the data of foreign scientific literature, the aqueous extract of the plant shows high pharmacological activity. As a result, vegetable purslane is an actual and promising source of a valuable type of medicinal plant raw materials. The work examined and analyzed evidence-based data on studies of anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant

Development of the base of medicinal chewable pastills using plant polymers
Abstract
According to the current State Register of Medicines, 10 trade names of medicines currently have a valid registration certificate for the dosage form “lozenges”. At the same time, the share of medicinal lozenges intended for resorption is 60%, and the remaining 40% are intended for chewing, but are represented by preparations of animal origin. The purpose of this work is to develop the basis of medicinal chewable lozenges using polymers of plant origin. Materials and methods. As objects of study, six prescriptions of medicinal chewable lozenges of various compositions, manufactured according to individually selected technological schemes depending on the physicochemical properties of plant polymers: pectin, agar-agar, xanthan gum, were considered. According to the results of the study, Recipe 4 was considered optimal, containing 0.2 g of agar-agar and 0.1 g of pectin, sucrose, glucose, citric acid, purified water, flavor and odor flavoring agents. Also, the best characteristics were shown by lozenges made using technology II, which takes into account all the features of working with agar-agar and pectin. However, this composition and manufacturing technology require correction and further research to obtain medicinal chewable lozenges with the best elastic-plastic properties, storage stability and less scatter in the data obtained.

Natural cosmetics are gaining popularity, they are actively used not only for the treatment, but also for the prevention of dermatoses, as well as to maintain skin health. The study raises the issue of the availability of phytopreparations and phytocosmetics used in dermatology, as well as the lack of a single term and uniform standards for natural cosmetics. Goal. To analyze the Russian market of phytopreparations and phytocosmetics for the treatment of dermatoses and to study the awareness of students of the Faculty of Pharmacy about natural cosmetics. Materials and methods. The research materials were regulatory documents, scientific publications, and official websites of manufacturers of natural cosmetics. The marketing analysis of the market is carried out using structural, systemic, graphoanalytic, logical and content analysis. The survey was conducted using a sociological method. Results. It has been established that the target segment of phytopreparations and phytocosmetics is represented on the Russian pharmaceutical market, the assortment is dominated by combined cosmetics in liquid dosage forms of domestic production. A wide range of natural remedies allows doctors to select therapy individually. Most students of the Faculty of Pharmacy are not sufficiently aware of the ingredients allowed for use in natural cosmetics, and are not familiar with domestic brands. There is an obvious need to develop regulatory documentation for natural cosmetics, raise awareness among students of the Faculty of Pharmacy and actively promote domestic brands of natural cosmetics.

The assessment of the quality of life of international students from Africa during the period of adaptation to the conditions of the Far North
Abstract
Introduction. In the conditions of the Far North, the immigrant population is exposed to a combination of extreme environmental factors, which requires great strain on the compensatory-adaptive and reserve capabilities of the organism. High demands are also placed on the psychological health. Nowadays immigrants are represented not only by migrants from Russia and the nearest countries, but also by international students from foreign countries. There is a high percent of African students, including Egypt ones, in the North-Eastern federal university (Yakutsk) who are forced to adapt to the abrupt climate change conditions and other difficulties.
The goal of this study is to research general health and the quality of life of the 38 male students of Egypt studying in NEFU, Yakutsk. Materials and methods. The assessment of the quality of life was carried out by the SF-36 international questionnaire. Results. The general health was normal. The quality of life was reduced mainly due to the Psychological component. The Physical component of the health and separate rates were mainly shown satisfactory or high points. The General heath by the SF-36 questionnaire was satisfactory or high in 74% students that was good tendency. Conclusions. The general adaptation syndrome has not reached the resistant phase. The work of curators, timely psychological help are especially important in that period.
Component analysis of evoked potentials during attentional shifts relative to threatening visual information
Abstract
Relevance. Attentional bias is a major component of perception and may reflect the effects of emotional stress. However, little is known about the characteristics of attentional fixation in the early stages of the development of anxiety disorders.
The goal. To identify bioelectric markers of attentional shifts in young people – student volunteers.
Methods. The dot test was used in tests with neutral-negative and neutral-positive sets of images. During the test period, the reaction time to the point was recorded, and an electroencephalogram was recorded, from which evoked potentials were then extracted.
Results. Based on reaction time, the subjects were divided into 3 groups: 1st group with a faster reaction to dots after a threatening picture, 2nd - with a faster reaction to dots after a neutral picture, 3rd - with the same reaction time to threatening and neutral visual information. However, no significant differences were recorded in reaction times to neutral-positive pictures. Young people with rapid reactions to visual information with an alarming value are characterized by an early P120 component in the parieto-occipital leads, presumably reflecting the mechanism of primary processing of visual information, and an N100 component in the frontal leads, associated with early recognition of visual information.
Conclusions. P100 and N100 are associated with the distribution of automatic attentional resources and can be used as bioelectrical markers of distortions in cognitive processes associated with attentional shifts in the early stages of the development of anxiety and emotional stress.
Changes in the activity of the enzymatic component of antioxidant protection in the area of layer-by-layer wound defects in the skin of rats
Abstract
Currently, there is an acute problem of finding an effective and affordable treatment for open skin lesions. One of the obstacles to the rapid healing of skin wounds is the free radicals formed during alteration. The role of free radicals is twofold; both their positive and negative effects are known. In this regard, when developing drugs, a more detailed study of the effects of reactive oxygen species in the wound area, as well as antioxidant defense systems, is necessary.
The purpose of this study was to study the activity of the enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase in the area of layer-by-layer wound defects in the skin of rats.
For this purpose, 27 male rats were used, which were divided into three groups: The first group was the control group, which included 9 intact animals. The second group included 9 rats that underwent a model of acute excisional skin wound, blood was taken from them on the 7th day of the study. The third group included rats that underwent a model of acute excisional skin wound; blood was taken from them on the 14th day of the study.
In the obtained blood, markers of the state of prooxidant-antioxidant systems were assessed, namely: the activity of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), determination of catalase activity. For this purpose, reagents from Cayman Chemical Company (USA) were used.
As a result of the studies, it was found that excision damage to the skin leads to activation of the enzymatic component of antioxidant protection, which is manifested by a persistent increase in the activity of SOD and catalase in the blood serum

Abstract
Introduction. The high prevalence of diabetes mellitus, as well as the frequency of premature disability of mortality associated with its vascular complications, lead to an in-depth study of the pathogenesis, methods of correction and prevention of this pathology. Objective: to determine the role of histamine and catecholamines in the effects of skin flap autotransplantation (SFA)on the state of microcirculation in alloxan insulin deficiency in white rats. Materials and methods. The studies were conducted on white rats divided into three groups: control intact rats, rats with alloxan diabetes, and rats who underwent SFA against the background of alloxan diabetes. The state of microcirculation was assessed by the LDF method, the concentration of histamine and catecholamines in the blood, and morphological changes in the SFA zone. Results. In rats, under the influence of SFA, there was a significant increase in skin perfusion, as well as an increase in histamine concentration and a decrease in the level of catecholamines in the blood. Conclusion. The stimulating effect of on microc SFA irculation in impaired carbohydrate metabolism is due to changes in the concentrations of biogenic amines in the blood, which contribute to the redistribution of active mechanisms of blood flow modulation.

Abstract
Target. To study the influence of speleoclimate on the ionic composition of blood and saliva, the ionic composition and general urine analysis of an adult healthy person. Materials and methods. The study involved 40 1st and 2nd year student volunteers at VSMU. N.N. Burdenko (12 boys and 18 girls). Study participants were divided into two groups. During the course of speleotherapy, 20 subjects (2 boys and 18 girls) took calcium gluconate 2 tablets 2 times a day with meals, the second group underwent a course of speleotherapy without the use of calcium gluconate. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using Excel and IBM SSPS Statistics 26. Results. The level of potassium, sodium and chlorine in the blood increased after the third procedure relative to the resting state before speleotherapy, and decreased after the tenth speleotherapy. The level of Ca2+ in urine increased after the third speleological procedure and increased further by the end of speleoclimatotherapy. Under the influence of the speleoclimate, an increase in the amount of ketones, bilirubin, urobilinogen, and protein was noted, which indicates changes in the metabolism of the study participants. Conclusions. An increase in urine ketones and protein under the influence of speleoclimate, bilirubin dynamics, changes in the ionic composition of blood and saliva, ionic composition and general urine analysis for the first time suggested the influence of speleoclimate on the metabolism of an adult healthy person. The combined use of Ca and speleoclimate did not affect the detection of ketones, but increased the amount of detected protein.

Respiratory gymnastics as an important stage of the nursing process in pneumonia
Abstract
Resume. Introduction. The relevance of the nursing process in the care of patients with pneumonia lies in the fact that for each patient, often close and dear people do not have the opportunity to provide the necessary care for him. Almost all medical institutions provide such a service. Providing competent care, fulfilling doctor's prescriptions, proper nutrition and rehabilitation after pneumonia is an important criterion for noticeably accelerating recovery and preventing the occurrence of complications. [2] Pneumonia is a disease characterized by damage to the lung tissue. The need to study this disease is due to the fact that the outcome of this disease and the ability to work of patients in the future largely depend not only on early diagnosis and adequately conducted therapy, but also on the organization of nursing care for patients with pneumonia in a hospital setting. [1]The purpose of the study: to study the role of a nurse in the organization of nursing care and training in respiratory gymnastics for patients with pneumonia. Research methods: System analysis, statistical data processing, comparative and structural analysis, ranking. The results of the study: The survey was conducted on the GOOGLE platform, and respondents with potential pathologies of pneumonia participated. The results are encrypted and confidential. After conducting a survey, it can be revealed among patients that many face problems of ignorance about breathing exercises and their performance. This is one of the leading problems of rehabilitation after upper respiratory tract diseases. This work largely depends on the effective work of the nurse, the ability to find a common language with the patient. Keywords: respiratory gymnastics., pneumonia., disease., survey., patient.
The effect of interferon status on the physical activity of athletes
Abstract
Relevance. Improving the results of athletes when using interferon inducers as a preventive measure for influenza and SARS. Goal. To find out how the interferon level affects the results of physical activity. Materials and methods. 32 subjects who were divided into 4 groups: 2 groups – students of N. N. Burdenko VSMU and 2 groups of athletes-swimmers. Results. The improvement in performance is more significant in the groups that took interferon inducers. Especially a greater increase in people who are systematically engaged in physical activity. Apparently, metabolic changes under the influence of interferon potentiate the positive effect of physical exertion on the body. Conclusions. Our study proves the positive effect of interferon on the physical abilities of the body. Due to multiple and complex metabolic changes, it is impossible to name the exact cause of this. However, it can be concluded that taking interferon inducers in the autumn-spring period not only increases the body's resistance to viral infections, but also increases physical abilities.

The influence of difficulties on the formation of personality
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. In 2024, the topic of becoming a strong personality under the influence of difficulties is relevant for every person, since no one is immune from encountering difficulties in their lives. Understanding how to overcome obstacles and what factors can contribute to this can help people become more self-confident, adaptive and successful individuals.The purpose of the study is to identify the impact of hardship on human strength and other
factors that contribute to the development of personal strength. The article deals with various aspects
of this problem. Internet sources on the topic of life difficulties were used as materials, as well as a
questionnaire among first-year students of the Institute of Dentistry (age of respondents 18-21 years
and older). The results of the study showed that difficulties are encountered in everyone's life and
many people experience negative emotions and feelings when meeting them. The survey participants
confirmed that not only life difficulties contribute to the formation of a strong personality, but also
other aspects such as support from loved ones, self-confidence, purpose, self-discipline and others.
Thus, the research on the impact of hardships on human strength shows that they can stimulate
personal growth and development. In addition, internal resources are also important for building a
strong personality. Recognizing these factors helps us to better understand the mechanisms of
personal strength development and enables us to help people in their self-development and
overcoming difficulties.

The evolution of medical ethics in a historical and philosophical context
Abstract
Abstract.
Introduction. The modern model of medical ethics determines the attitude in society towards the medical profession as a whole, and, as a consequence, the social status of the medical profession in the hierarchy of the professional picture. The purpose of the article is to analyze the evolution of philosophical and religious concepts that define the body of models of medical ethics from a historical perspective. Materials and methods. A search of literature sources was performed. The key method of this research is the analysis of philosophical, sociological literature on the research problem, and the logic is built on the principle of deduction: from the general (philosophical aspect) to the particular (sociological aspect). Results. Historically, the primary model of medical ethics is the Hippocratic Oath with the central principle of “Do no harm.” The next model of medical ethics was formalized during the Renaissance. The key tenets of the Hippocratic Oath were rethought, including taking into account the Christian picture of the world, and embodied in the anthropocentricity characteristic of the Renaissance. A new model of medical ethics was formed based on the research of Paracelsus. The paternalistic model was based on the principle of “Do good.” The displacement of the paternalism model from medical ethics was carried out under the influence of the development of capitalist society. The deontological model of medical ethics is based on the concept of respect for duty. In the 1970-1980s, this model had a serious competitor - bioethics, which is based on the principle of patient autonomy. Conclusions. Currently, there is a simultaneous coexistence of deontological and bioethical models of medical ethics, which indicates the incompleteness of the crisis state of the ethical field of medicine.
Ethical and philosophical problems of prolonging human life in an attempt to achieve immortality
Abstract
The problem of prolonging human life has not lost its relevance for centuries. Currently, the development of science and, in particular, regenerative medicine, can play a key role in solving this issue until people achieve immortality. Goal. To consider the prerequisites for the formation of the medicine of the future and the possibility of defeating death. To analyze the influence of philosophy on the trends in the development of medicine in this way. Materials and methods. A search was made for scientific articles on the problems of death and immortality, on the role of achievements of regenerative medicine in science in order to identify the potential possibility of overcoming death by man and to determine views from the perspective of modern philosophy of cosmism on this problem. Results. The ideas of philosophical cosmism about achieving immortality on a universal scale have not been developed in modern medicine. However, the developing field of biomedicine – regenerative medicine – allows the use of accumulated scientific knowledge to influence regenerative processes at the cellular and molecular level, which makes it potentially possible not only to prolong the life of a particular person, but also to achieve biological immortality. Conclusions. At the moment, there is a gap between the philosophical and scientific views on the problem of death and immortality. Medicine is aimed at achieving immortality only within the human body, which is not consistent with the ideas of cosmistic philosophers. The philosophy of cosmism defines immortality as the perfection of the material and spiritual component of a person, his mind. To bridge the gap, it is possible to revise the concepts of "death" and "immortality".

Sergei Sergeevich also proposed to develop and implement special measures that would be aimed at preventing mental illnesses and deviations among the country's population. Korsakov was the first to describe the manifestations of acute psychosis, which was characterized by a special memory disorder, and he also identified special stages in the development of psychoses.
Conclusion. Familiarization with information about the lives of the greatest medical scientists is an integral stage in preparing students for future professional activities.
The Battle of Tavrida: on the 80th anniversary of the Crimean offensive operation
Abstract
Intrduction. In 2024, our country celebrates the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Crimea from Nazi invaders. Studying the events of those distant years is necessary not only to honor the memory of Soviet soldiers who fought for the freedom of our Homeland, but also to remind the modern generation once again of the dangers and horrors of fascism. Goal. To consider the course and results of the Crimean offensive operation of the Soviet troops (April 8-May 12, 1944). Materials and methods. Both general scientific methods were used in the study (analysis of sources and scientific literature on the problem, generalization and systematization of the information received) so are special historical research methods (narrative, synchronous, problem-chronological). Results. During the Crimean offensive, the troops of the 4th Ukrainian Front, the Separate Primorsky Army, the Black Sea Fleet and the Azov Military Flotilla were able to defeat the 17th German Army and take over the entire Crimean Peninsula, which is an important strategic
bridgehead in the Black Sea theater of operations. Conclusions. The Crimean offensive operation of 1944 became a landmark event of the Great Patriotic War. The liberation of Crimea from the Nazi invaders made it possible to transfer the fighting to the territory of Europe without fear of an enemy strike from the rear. The capture of Sevastopol, the main base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, became a symbol of the heroism of the Soviet people. The memory of the feat of the defenders and liberators of Crimea is forever inscribed in the history of the country.

Trends in modern pharmaceutical naming
Abstract
Abstract. The article presents a study of the main trends in modern pharmaceutical naming based on English language materials. It is proven that the process of forming drug names plays an important role in their uniqueness, identification, and patient perception.
The aim of this work is to describe some stages of the process of forming drug names, demonstrating the importance of context and historical events in pharmaceutical naming.
During the research, names created based on real historical facts and scientific discoveries are considered. An analysis of sociocultural factors influencing the choice of drug names is conducted.
Skillful and high-quality naming is of great importance for the uniqueness and identification of a drug, as well as for patient perception. Names can reflect the specificity of the active substance, chemical structure, or pharmacological properties, facilitating their identification.
Choosing a suitable and memorable name for a drug is an art that requires careful analysis of various factors, including cultural, historical, and scientific aspects. This creative process is important to ensure a high level of quality in medical services and patient care.
Psycholinguistic research of professional features of the semantics of the words "pressure", "fetus"
Abstract
Introduction. Psycholinguistics as a science has been actively developing in recent years. One of the important directions is the semantic analysis of group differences in the meanings of a word. These studies are also relevant in medicine, primarily for understanding the specifics of communication between a doctor and a patient and improving the effectiveness of interaction. Goal. The work is carried out in order to assess the group, and specifically professional, characteristics of the perception of individual lexical units, as well as the degree of dissociation of associations to the stimulus word. Materials and methods. Literary sources of Russian authors were studied, a survey was conducted among medical students and students of non-medical specialties. Based on the information received, the analysis of psycho-emotional differences in the perception of terms was performed. For this purpose, the methods of free associative experiment and semantic interpretation of elements of associative fields were used. Results. Associative fields and the psycholinguistic meaning of stimulus words were identified. By calculating the indices, an assessment was made of intra- and intergroup dissociation of the meanings of terms in the linguistic consciousness of students. Conclusions. Intra-group differences in the perception of individual tokens (PRESSURE, FETUS) are expressed to a small extent. Dissociation in groups is significantly higher, which allows us to conclude about the professional labeling of the presented tokens.
Medical specialties of the National Health Service of the United Kingdom: difficulties in names’ translation
Abstract
Introduction. The words of medical terminology are a universal vocabulary, since they are found in any linguistic culture in which the healthcare system is represented. The names of medical specialties in the healthcare system of any society are an important part of the linguistic picture of its representatives and have a number of their own characteristics, which often lead to translation difficulties. One of the reasons for this problem is the lack of translation equivalents that would help facilitate the translation process into the native language. Objective. To identify the names of medical specialties of the National Health Service of Great Britain, the translation of which causes difficulties, and to propose possible translation equivalents. Materials and methods. The empirical corpus has been performed to create a translation glossary. The source of the corpus was the website https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk /, from where 11 names of medical specialties were selected using a continuous sampling method. The selection of translation equivalents included the following stages: justification of the difficulty of translation, descriptive translation of the definition from the site or dictionary definition, translation equivalent. Results. Based on the definition analysis, the glossary was compiled and translation equivalents were offered. The processed equivalents ca be used in medical translation courses at Russian medical universities. Conclusion. Thus, the research shows that translation of selected lexemes caused translation difficulties, since there is no exact analogue of these specialties in the Russian healthcare system. A further study is required to expand the glossary of translation equivalents for Russian learners and translators.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis in the presence and absence of HIV infection
Abstract
Introduction. Tuberculosis – a public health problem, one of the main deaths causes worldwide. The widespread of MDR-MBT strains leads to difficulties in treatment and to a high risk of a global tuberculosis epidemic. HIV – a serious risk factor for drug–resistant tuberculosis development. The goal of this study is to analyze statistical data on MDR-TB, TB/HIV- and TB/HIV+ cases in the period from 2018 to 2022. Materials and methods. There have been analyzed statistical data published by WHO, scientific papers, monographs and reports of national and foreign research institutes. Results. In 2022, 8.5% more MDR-TB cases were reported worldwide than in 2021. In the Russian Federation, there were registered 31 thousand MDR–TB cases and 14 thousand HIV-associated TB cases. Recently, there has been an increasing trend of MDR-TB among HIV+ people. Conclusions. In the Russian Federation, the problem of MDR-MTB strains spreading is extremely acute, due to the relatively high incidence of tuberculosis and to the increase of MDR-TB/HIV+ cases. Timely detection and productive treatment – the main measure against MDR–TB spreading among HIV+ and HIV- people.
Analysis of the detection and course of tuberculosis in persons living with HIV-infection in Voronezh city
Abstract
Relevance. According to WHO findings, tuberculosis remains one of the main health problems, including HIV-associated tuberculosis. HIV infection is one of the factors in the increase in the incidence of tuberculosis, which is changing the epidemiology and clinic of "classic tuberculosis". People with HIV infection are at increased risk of developing tuberculosis and are more likely to develop tuberculosis. The purpose of the study. To analyze the features of the detection and course of tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection in the city of Voronezh. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the forms of №33 patients first identified with tuberculosis without HIV and HIV-positive patients for 2021-2022 in the city of Voronezh was carried out. Results of the study. A total of 241 cases of tuberculosis (166 men and 75 women) have been identified. All patients were divided into two groups. The main group consisted of patients with the first detected tuberculosis in combination with HIV infection living in the city of Voronezh - 44 patients (18.26%). The comparison group included 197 patients with tuberculosis without HIV infection for the first time (81.74%). Conclusion. The number of cases of newly detected tuberculosis among the adult population of Voronezh is increasing annually (from 95 people in 2021 to 146 in 2022). The same trend is observed among HIV-infected patients (16 cases in 2021 and 28 in 2022). At the same time, HIV in more than half of the cases was diagnosed earlier (56.82%), that is, it was also a risk factor.
Characteristics of tuberculosis infection epidemic nidi
Abstract
Abstract. Introduction. The incidence of tuberculosis in children is considered an important prognostic epidemiological indicator, reflecting the general epidemic situation of tuberculosis in the region. This is due to the fact that tuberculosis in children most often occurs immediately after contact with a source of infection.
The goal of this study is to assess the epidemic danger of foci of tuberculosis infection in the development of tuberculosis in children.
Materials and methods. An analysis of the medical documentation of children registered in the IV group of dispensary observation due to contact with a tuberculosis patient in branch No. 1 of the Gomel Regional Tuberculosis Clinical Hospital during 2015-2023 was carried out.
Results. An assessment was made of the age and sex distribution of children in contact with patients with tuberculosis, an analysis of the characteristics of patients who form foci of tuberculosis infection, and the distribution of index patients into dispensary observation groups.
Conclusions. The likelihood of developing tuberculosis in children is more related to age than gender, unlike in adults. Children of school age (6-14 years) are most susceptible. Among the index patients, the majority are fathers, since men suffer from tuberculosis more often, but it should be remembered that contact with a sick mother is especially dangerous for children 0-5 years old. The results of the distribution of index patients into dispensary observation groups show that rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis is a global problem in the fight against tuberculosis.
Features of the tuberculosis clinic in elderly patients
Abstract
Introduction. The epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in the Russian Federation is improving, but at the same time there is an increase in the proportion of elderly tuberculosis patients. Due to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of patients in old age and concomitant diseases, the tuberculosis clinic is atypical, which is an urgent problem for the timely diagnosis of tuberculosis.
The goal of this study is to study the features of the tuberculosis clinic of various forms and localizations in patients over 75 years of age with newly diagnosed tuberculosis in 2013-2023.
Materials and methods. We used the method of a continuous cohort study of newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients over 75 years of age in 2013-2023. Retrospective and prospective observation was carried out in 19 patients. Clinical data, X-ray archive and medical documentation have been studied. Statistical data processing was performed using Statistica 12.0.
Results. Between 2013 and 2023, there were 19 cases of tuberculosis in patients over the age of 75. The disseminated form (42.1%) and the infiltrative form (21.1%) were more common. The process was widespread in 73.7% of cases, bacterial excretion in 63.2% of cases. There were 3-4 concomitant diseases, clinically significant in 50% of patients.
Conclusions. Tuberculosis in people over 75 years of age occurs in the form of various forms of tuberculosis, with a predominance of disseminated. The process is common with bacterial excretion against the background of 3-4 diseases that "mask" tuberculosis.

The impact of osteoarthritis on quality of life in asthma patients
Abstract
Introduction. Asthma and osteoarthritis (OA) are common pathologies that are often combined with obesity. Obesity can negatively affect the course of asthma and OA. However, there is little data on the impact of OA on quality of life (QoL) and the clinical course of asthma. Goal. To evaluate the impact of OA on quality of life and the characteristics of the asthma course in combination with obesity. Materials and methods. The sample consisted of 137 patients with moderate asthma. Two groups were formed: group 1 included patients with asthma without signs of OA; group 2 – patients with asthma and OA. Clinical assessment of diseases, determination of the Lequesne index, spirometry, assessment of quality of life and asthma control were carried out. Results. Patients with asthma and OA had higher inflammatory indices and body mass index (BMI), and QoL, spirometric indicators and the level of asthma control were significantly lower than in patients with asthma without OA. Conclusions. The results of the study indicate a negative impact of OA on the quality of life and the level of asthma control in obese patients.
