Despite early detection of DVT and the use of recommended antithrombotic therapy, damage to the venous wall, development of valvular reflux and post-thrombotic disease (PTD) inevitably occur. The clinical picture of PTD becomes evident after the development of valve incompetence, which leads to vertical venous reflux and chronic venous hypertension. Timely elimination of venous obstruction can preserve the functionality of valve structures, which will subsequently help reduce the frequency and severity of PTD. \u0000AIM: To evaluate the impact of the timing of stenting on the condition of the venous valves, the frequency and severity of the development of PTD in patients with acute DVT of LE. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective interventional study included 49 patients with acute iliofemoral thrombosis. After selective thrombolysis, 25 patients underwent early (within 7 days) and 24 patients underwent delayed (7–30 days) stenting. The incidence and severity of PTD was assessed on the Villalta scale at 3, 6 and 12 months. The effect of treatment on the condition of the venous valves of the LE was assessed at 12 months. On ultrasound examination, reflux was assessed using a scoring system. \u0000RESULTS: At 12 months, 2 (8%), 13 (52%), and 10 (40%) patients who underwent delayed stenting, developed severe, moderate, or mild PTD, respectively. In the early stenting group, 6 (25%) patients had no symptoms of PTD, 15 (62.5%) and 3 (12.5%) developed mild and moderate PTD, respectively (p = 0.0005). At 12 months, in the early stenting group, the absence of reflux was recorded in 6 (25%) patients, 4 (17%) patients had valve reflux in the femoral segment, and 14 (58%) in the popliteal segment. In the delayed stenting group, valvular incompetence of both segments was detected in 12 (48%) patients; in 4 (16%) and 9 (36%) patients, the valves of the femoral and popliteal veins were preserved; there were no patients without reflux in both segments. Treatment results for this indicator were better if early stenting was performed (p = 0.0005). \u0000CONCLUSION: Early stenting after selective thrombolysis in patients with proximal DVT of LE leads to a decrease in the incidence and severity of symptoms of PTD, and can reduce the incidence of reflux in the deep veins.","PeriodicalId":113364,"journal":{"name":"I.P.

To determine the expectations of the participants of the sex education process, as well as the main directions of preventive work and education, a survey of 400 parents of adolescent girls, 86 pediatricians, 34 obstetricians-gynecologists and 420 teachers was conducted. For all groups of participants, author’s questionnaires were developed. \u0000RESULTS: The reproductive behavior of adolescent girls living in the territory of the Novosibirsk region, is characterized by early start of sex life (15.90 ± 0.14 years), promiscuity (1.70 ± 1.10 partners), refusal to use effective means of contraception. Parents of adolescent girls emphasize the leading role of the family in sex education, suggesting participation of doctors and teachers in the process, but remain dissatisfied with the intensity of preventive measures. A similar problem is emphasized by specialists in the healthcare and education systems who indicate the possibility of conducting preventive work with adolescent girls remotely. In the opinion of pediatricians and obstetricians-gynecologists, providing preventive information on the reproductive health and behavior, will not only create safe reproductive behavior for modern adolescents, but is also an effective strategy of improving the system of reproductive health protection. \u0000CONCLUSION: The study identified features of the reproductive behavior of adolescent girls that characterize it as risky. The results emphasize the need for an integrated approach to assessing and maintaining the health of adolescent girls, and also focus attention on the importance of educational work in this age group.

Among them are the determination of pronounced nystagmus, of characteristic changes of oculomotor reactions in different conditions of observing video images. Of interest is the determination of the position of gaze point (GP) and of the area of increased attention in three-dimensional space. This information is associated with the cognitive system of the observer and is of interest not only to physiologists, but also to specialists of related fields. . \u0000AIM: To experimentally prove the effectiveness of the developed method of 3D-oculography providing determination of the GP position in space. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The possibility of restoring GP position based on the analysis of recorded oculograms even in the presence of additive noise induced by the external electromagnetic fields, is proven by the numeric modeling method. Direct experimental studies were conducted with recording oculograms of a human observer on a previously verified equipment. A ZB-2 oculograph was used, the data obtained were verified by the method of average values. \u0000RESULTS: The obtained modeling results permitted to determine the maximal values of dispersion of additive noise and amplitude shifts of signals, which make possible satisfactory restoration of the coordinates of the GP and parameters of its movement trajectory. The qualitative correspondence of the experimental results to the results of numerical modeling was proven. The correspondence between trajectories of the observed object moving in space and trajectories of GP movement synthesized from counts of recorded oculograms was confirmed. \u0000CONCLUSION: Multichannel record of oculographic signals permits restoring parameters of the GP trajectory. Creating systems for recording these signals requires minimization of the noise level.

Against the background of these changes, oncological diseases, like many other comorbid pathologies, seemed to fade into insignificance. But, as we understand, they have not lost their relevance, but only ‘retreated to the shadow’ for a while. Study of the basic statistical indicators used for evaluating the prevalence of cancer pathology and the results of the work of oncological service, helps analyze and understand the processes occurring in conditions of reorientation of medical measures for combating the pandemic. \u0000AIM: To study changes in the main indicators of the oncology service of the Ryazan region during the COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-2019) epidemic. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The main statistical indicators of morbidity, detestability and mortality from malignant neoplasms (MNs) in the Ryazan region were analyzed on the basis of statistical forms of federal statistical observation No. 7 (Form No. 7) ‘Record of MNs’, reports and data of cancer registry for 2012–2022.

Frequency-following response (FFR) is an auditory evoked potential emerging in different regions of the brain in response to a sound or a change in the sound frequency. The initiation of this potential is associated with the correct processing of auditory information in the subcortical structures of the brain. However, until the moment, there is no regulatory framework that could permit use of this potential in routine examinations. \u0000AIM: To identify and analyze the peculiarities of FFR in healthy adult individuals when listening to a complex sound. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 29 healthy subjects aged from 18 to 48 years (mean age 28 ± 10 years). Electrical activity of the brain was recorded from 32 electrodes. Sampling frequency 2000 Hz, transmission frequency 0.1 Hz–500 Hz. The stimulus was a 30-s sound that included simple sounds of five different frequencies (600 Hz, 800 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz) changing in a random order every 100 ms. FFR was isolated in each frequency change in the complex sound. The resulting FFR included two peaks, for each amplitude, latency, and dipole sources were calculated. \u0000RESULTS: FFR was obtained in all the subjects and included two peaks. In some subjects, FFR peaks had a statistically higher amplitude and lower latency. In subjects with a higher amplitude FFR peaks, three dipoles were identified for the first peak: in the brainstem and in the cortex of the right hemisphere (Brodmann areas 6 and 39). For the second peak, one dipole was identified in the cortex (Brodmann area 19). In subjects with low amplitude FFR peaks, for the first peak one source in the brainstem was identified. For the second peak, two dipoles were identified: in the posterior cingulate cortex (Brodmann area 23) and in the medial thalamus. \u0000CONCLUSION: The data obtained suggest that the method of recording and analyzing FFR can be used to assess the functional integrity and correct participation of the midbrain in the perception of auditory stimuli. The peculiarities of amplitude-time parameters of its peaks probably reflect the individual ability to finely differentiate stimuli.","PeriodicalId":113364,"journal":{"name":"I.P.

This disease is gaining increasing medical and social significance due to its severe clinical manifestations and recurrent course, as well as a negative impact on the quality of life and working capacity of women. The incidence of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) that is referred to extragenital localization, is 0.3% to 3.5%. In most cases, it develops after cesarean section, less often after other gynecological operations (hysterectomy, removal of endometrioid ovarian cysts). Its recognition presents certain difficulties due to the necessity of differential diagnosis with postoperative hernias, ligature abscesses, hematomas and use of additional imaging methods. In this context, of interest is to study the clinical and history data, localization and management tactics for female patients with the anterior abdominal wall endometriosis. \u0000AIM: Investigation of clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment of one of the rarest and least studied forms of extragenital localization of endometriosis — AWE — and improvement of management tactics for patients with this pathology. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: A clinical analysis of AWE cases with several variants of its invasion was carried out in 7 female patients. \u0000RESULTS: The age of the patients ranged from 27 to 39 years (median — 33 years). All the seven patients had a past cesarean section; the period after surgical delivery ranged from 3 to 7 years. Six patients reported pain in the area of the postoperative scar associated with the menstrual cycle, 1 noted the presence of a palpable formation of the anterior abdominal wall. During surgical treatment, excision of endometrioid infiltrates located in the area of the postoperative scar was performed, followed by histological verification. \u0000CONCLUSION: Taking into account the relative rarity of AWE, the difficulty of its early identification, the need for differential diagnosis using additional examination methods, greater awareness of this disease is required among doctors of related specialties. Diagnostic alertness is especially relevant for patients with a history of surgical delivery if they have a formation in the area of a postoperative scar and a cyclic pain symptom in its projection.","PeriodicalId":113364,"journal":{"name":"I.P.

This highly pathogenic virus can attack the lung tissue and derange gas exchange leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome and systemic hypoxia. Hypoxic conditions trigger activation of adaptation mechanisms including hypoxia-inducible factor-1á (HIF-1á) which is involved in the regulation of the key processes, e. g, proliferation and metabolism of cells and angiogenesis. Besides, the level of HIF-1á expression is associated with the intensity of the immune response of an organism including that of the innate immunity mediating inflammatory reaction. Therefore, understanding the peculiarities of the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of this disease is of great importance for effective therapy of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). \u0000AIM: Analysis of the current data on HIF-1á and its effect on the pathogenesis and progression of COVID-19. \u0000The analysis of the relevant domestic and international literature sources was performed in the following sections: HIF-1á as a key factor of adaptation to hypoxia, targets for HIF-1á in the aspect of the pathogenesis of COVID-19, disorders in HIF-1á-mediated adaptation to hypoxia as an element of the pathogenesis of hyperactivation of the immune cells. \u0000CONCLUSION: HIF-1á prevents penetration of SARS-CoV-2 virus into a cell and primarily acts as the main regulator of the proinflammatory activity at the inflammation site surrounded by hypoxia. In the conditions of the deranged metabolic flexibility, a high level of HIF-1á evokes an excessive inflammatory response of the immune cells. A high HIF-1á level in cells of the inflammation focus is associated with enhanced production of the factors of angiogenesis mediating vascular permeability and capillary leakage process. This is accompanied by tissue damage and organ failure. At the same time, HIF-1á can mediate the anti-inflammatory effect through activation of adenosine receptor-dependent pathway, which is considered as a probable protection of cells and organs against damage by hyperactive immune cells.","PeriodicalId":113364,"journal":{"name":"I.P.
