IMPROVING THE TREATMENT OF VIRAL STOMATITIS IN CHILDREN DURING ENTERIC VIRAL INFECTIONS

2024-09-28T11:50:42+00:00

In children, diseases of the oral mucosa caused by viral infections in the intestine occupy a special place in terms of prevalence, complexity in diagnosis and treatment. Scientific sources and studies over the past twenty years have noted that diseases of the oral mucosa caused by viral infections in the intestine are observed in up to 42%, and in various syndromes - up to 30% of these diseases. At the same time, the predominance of viral stomatitis among diseases of the oral mucosa caused by viral infections in the intestines in children, as well as the observation of 48.2% to 55.1% indicate a high prevalence of pathology. This situation is explained by the fact that the initial stages of diseases are accompanied by a lack of sufficient data on changes in both clinical and laboratory parameters, as well as the lack of a unified etiopathogenetic point of view among specialists. This indicates the need to improve the treatment and prevention of this problem.

2024-09-28T11:57:12+00:00

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a rapid deterioration of kidney function, presenting significant health risks if not promptly diagnosed and managed. Traditional biomarkers like serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) often fail in early detection. This article evaluates Cystatin C, a cysteine protease inhibitor, as a potential early biomarker for AKI using a glycerol-induced AKI model in rats. Findings indicate that Cystatin C levels rise sooner than traditional markers, highlighting its efficacy in early diagnosis and the potential for better clinical outcomes through timely intervention.

Purpose: To study the diagnostic and prognostic significance of cystatin C in the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury caused by chemical poisoning. Materials and methods: experiments were conducted on 45 white Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g. Experimental acute kidney injury was induced by a single injection of 10 ml/kg 50% glycerol solution into the hind leg muscles of model rats. In the first 24 hours, the dynamics of blood cystatin C, creatinine, urea, residual nitrogen, total proteins in blood, albumin, globulin, acid-base balance, blood electrolytic indicators (Na, K, Ca,P,Mg) were studied in experimental model rats. Results: at all stages of the experiment, it was observed that the amount of Cystatin C increased, while the amount of creatinine did not change. Conclusion: Cystatin C is one of the optimal biomarkers for early diagnosis of acute kidney diseases.

2024-09-28T12:13:03+00:00

In the oral cavity of workers in the production of plastic products, chemical compounds as toxic dust can settle in the form of plaque in the area of the necks of the teeth, or through the damaged mucous membrane for faster penetration and absorption, which causes serious consequences in the form of periodontitis, stomatitis. The harm caused by chemicals to certain organs depends on the amount (dose) of these chemicals absorbed by the body. Inflammatory diseases, as well as periodontal damage, have an etiological connection with a violation of the microbiocenosis of the oral cavity. The constant influence of chemical compounds in low concentrations in the air and on the oral mucosa can contribute to a change in the composition of saliva, the structure of microbiocenosis, which eventually leads to a secondary deterioration in the hygienic condition of the oral cavity.

Objective: The objective of this research is to assess the efficacy of individualized rehabilitation programs for female sexual dysfunction associated with neurological disorders using electromyography (EMG) to assess the functionality of the pelvic floor muscles. Methods: A total of 133 women with diagnosed sexual dysfunction and various neurological disorders were split into two distinct groups: a control group (n=66) receiving standard care and a treatment group (n=67) undergoing a comprehensive rehabilitation program. This program included transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), biofeedback therapy and Kegel exercises. EMG was utilized to assess the amplitude and strength of the bulbocavernosus, pubococcygeus, and iliococcygeus muscles prior to and following the intervention. Results: Initial EMG measurements indicated no notable differences between the control and intervention groups (p>0.05), but post-treatment, the intervention group exhibited markedly enhanced muscle function compared to the control group. The mean amplitude (M±SD) of the bulbocavernosus muscle increased from 78.21±7.37 to 132.31±12.72 (p<0.0001), the pubococcygeus muscle from 155.57±14.89 to 254.96±24.82 (p<0.0001), and the iliococcygeus muscle from 77.21±7.37 to 132.78±12.60 (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The results indicate that individualized rehabilitation programs significantly enhance functionality of pelvic floor muscles in women with neurological disorders, as measured by EMG.

THYROID STATUS OF THE OFFSPRINGS OBTAINED FROM FEMALES WITH EXPERIMENTAL HYPOTHYROSIS IN THE DYNAMICS OF POSTNATAL ONTOGENESIS

2024-09-28T14:48:37+00:00

Thyroid dysfunction remains one of the most pressing problems in the world. Among them, a special place is occupied by hypothyroidism in pregnant women, which, according to various sources, is observed in 2-2.5% of all pregnant women and can manifest itself in subclinical or manifest forms. Hypothyroidism in pregnant women has a harmful effect on the offspring, leading to structural and functional disorganization of the own thyroid system, discoordination of immunogenesis processes, disruption of cell proliferation and differentiation, growth and formation of organs and tissues. The relevance of the problem of hypothyroidism in pregnant women in the practice of doctors of various specialties is undeniable, since due to the lack of thyroid hormones necessary for the normal development and functioning of almost every cell of the human body, serious changes occur in all organs and systems. Therefore, studying the effect of hypothyroidism in pregnant women on the structural and functional characteristics of the offspring’s immune system in early postnatal ontogenesis is one of the most important current tasks of medicine.

WAYS TO IMPROVE THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES IN WORKERS EXPOSED TO STYRENE POLYMERS

2024-09-28T14:53:56+00:00

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory conditions that affect the periodontium, the dental support apparatus that includes gingival tissue, alveolar bone, cement, and periodontal ligament. Primary pathological signs include clinical attachment loss, radiologically assessed loss of the alveolar bone, the presence of periodontal pockets and bleeding. Gingivitis is a common and mild form of PO; it is a reactive condition that is reversible with proper oral hygiene. In turn, periodontitis is an advanced form of PO when gingivitis is not treated properly, which leads to a chronic, destructive and irreversible inflammatory condition.
