Today, among the increasing number of various diseases, stress is a trigger in the development of diseases and mortality among the population. \u0000Objective. To establish submicroscopic changes in the hemocapillaries of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas and adrenal glands in the presence of immobilization stress with underlying hypothyroidism.\u0000Methods. The experiment was carried out on 20 mature white male rats. Hypothyroidism was modeled by daily per os injection with a probe of the pharmacopoeial mercazole thyreostatics at a dose of 25 mg/kg for 21 days. Acute immobilization stress was modeled by tying the experimental rats in a supine position in 4 limbs without restricting head mobility for 3 hours. The study was conducted 2 hours later (anxiety stage) after the end of the stress impact. The material was collected for electron microscopy and tissue processing was performed according to generally accepted methods.\u0000Results. Electron microscopic examination of the blood capillaries of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas and the hemocapillaries of the adrenal cortex after the action of the stress factor in cases of hypothyroidism showed slightly enlarged lumens and moderate perivascular edema. The basement membrane was moderately thickened but clearly contoured. Endotheliocyte nuclei were mostly hypertrophied, euchromatin was uniformly located in the nucleoplasm, and nucleoli were defined. The karyolemma was clearly contoured, the number of nuclear pores was small, and the perinuclear lumen was locally widened. Endoplasmic reticulum with moderately expanded and short tubules, moderately thickened cisterns of the Golgi complex were observed in the cytoplasm of endotheliocytes. There were two types of mitochondria: hypertrophied with an electron-light matrix, single cristae, and with clear visible cristae and a moderately electron-dense matrix. In addition to the capillaries mentioned above, there were also single narrowed microvessels that had perivascular edema and vaguely contoured fenestrae.\u0000Conclusions. When modeling a stressor in cases of hypothyroidism, structural changes of all components of the walls of blood capillaries of the pancreas and adrenal glands take place.","PeriodicalId":14059,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medicine and Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47890791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gender differences in the baseline characteristics of patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have been widely acknowledged. Women are known to be generally older with a higher prevalence of comorbidities. At the same time, it is now yet clear which comorbid conditions have the most significant impact on the long-term outcomes of patients with ACS and if there are any gender differences in this respect. \u0000Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort study of 167 patients (109 men and 58 women) admitted to the acute coronary unit of Ternopil Municipal Hospital with ACS in 2016-2017. All relevant clinical information has been recorded in the pre-designed data charts. The incidence of repeated major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) has been assessed over 36 months after the hospital discharge via an e-Health electronic system. \u0000Results. In this cohort, female patients with ACS had a higher prevalence of comorbid conditions: 15.5% of women vs. 11% of men with ACS had ≥5 comorbidities, 65.5% of women and 60% of men had 2-4 comorbid conditions, and 19% of women vs. 29% ≤1 concomitant disease. The comorbidity structure also differed between genders. Women more often had concomitant cerebrovascular diseases (17.2% vs. 7.3%, p=0.05), dementia (15.5% vs. 5.5 %, p=0.03), connective tissue disorders (17.25 vs. 6.42%, p=0.03) and thyroid disease (12.1% vs. 2.8%, p=0.02). Men more often suffered from peptic ulcer (13.7% vs. 3.4%, p=0.05). The incidence of MACEs during the follow-up period rose sharply with age and was higher in females (55% vs. 33%, p=0.003). In the multivariable model, PAD (OR 9.5, 95% CI: 1.7-52.3, p=0.01) and thyroid disease (OR 7.2, 95% CI: 1.19-43.2, p=0.03) demonstrated the most significant impact on the long-term event-free survival of females in the cohort. In turn, a solid metastatic tumor was the most significant predictor of poor prognosis in men (OR 6.3, 95% CI: 2.13-18.9, p=0.001). \u0000Conclusions. We observed significant gender differences in the prevalence of comorbid conditions and their influence on the three-year event-free survival of patients with ACS. The predictive value of comorbidities should be further investigated, preferably, with the involvement of larger cohorts. \u0000 \u0000  \u0000","PeriodicalId":14059,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medicine and Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43038557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death in working age population; the risk of cardiovascular complications for survivors of acute MI complicated by comorbid pathology (CP) is very high.\u0000Objective. The study is aimed to search for reliable prognostic markers for risk of reducing the functional reserves of the cardiovascular system in myocardial infarction with comorbid pathology.\u0000Methods. The prospective study involved 371 patients with MI, who received non-invasive therapy and were observed for a 90-day period after admission to the hospital. All patients were examined and treated according to current protocols.\u0000Results. It was found that 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is a specific and highly sensitive prognostic marker of functional reserves for patients with MI with CP (specificity – 100%, sensitivity – 63%, prognostic value of a positive result – 100%) with the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ≥2.

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are under a high risk of post-operative reductions in respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function as well as lowered functional capacity. In-hospital physical inactivity and inappropriate rehabilitation increases the chances for development of these complications and affects patients’ future independence in daily routine. Cardiac rehabilitation is crucial in preventing complications and assisting the early function recovery. However, despite the evidences for its benefits and strong guideline recommendations, the uptake of cardiac rehabilitation remains poor.\u0000Objective. this study is aimed at promotion of cardiac rehabilitation and sharing successful experience of using it.\u0000Methods.

Tooth extraction is the most common surgical intervention in the outpatient practice of a dental surgeon. In most cases, bone wound healing is uncomplicated. However, in some patients the course of healing is complicated by acute inflammatory process of dry socket (alveolar osteitis), the frequency of which increases with increasing trauma of surgery. In dentally healthy patients with typical tooth extraction, dry socket occurs in 2.55%, with difficult – in 9.84%, with atypical extraction of the lower wisdom tooth – in 31.03% of cases. In the presence of diabetes, the incidence of dry socket with typical removal is much higher and according to various authors it is 9.7-13.5%. \u0000Objective. The aim of the research was to study the publications and their analysis on the current diagnosis, prevention and treatment of patients with dry socket. \u0000Methods. Scientific sources were the articles in world periodicals on dental surgery and therapy, microbiology as well as some electronic resources and patents. \u0000Results. At present, many techniques, methods, schemes, compositions for treatment of various forms of dry socket are established. Most often, antibacterial drugs or their combinations with other drugs are used. However, antibacterial drugs do not always have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect due to the high resistance of the oral microflora. In these cases, contemporary drugs in the form of a composition with long-term antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic action are rational.\u0000Conclusions. The action of a Flupetsal composition, which contains antimicrobial and immunomodulatory drug flurenizide, was clinically proven for treatment of patients with dry socket; the properties of the available ingredients provide a high disinfectant effect, prevent development of inflammation in the tissues and its transition to purulence. A contemporary effective method of treating patients with dry socket is carried out according to the developed method.","PeriodicalId":14059,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medicine and Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47722331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
