The most common are biliary atresia, A1 antitrypsin defi ciency, Wilson’s disease, metabolic diseases, acquired diseases complicated by cirrhosis and liver failure. In most cases, patients with biliary atresia require liver transplantation at an early age. In case of late diagnosis and inability to perform portoenterostomy (Kasai procedure), the only treatment option is transplantation at the age of ±1 year. The aim of study. Single- center case analysis of a child with biliary atresia demonstrates the current state of solving this problem in Ukraine with the absence of the possibility of family transplantation and shortage of donor organs. To study the potential development opportunities of SPLIT transplantation in this stage group. Analyze the possibilities of optimizing the process from diagnosis to transplantation with the aim of maximizing the preservation of the child’s physical and intellectual development and reducing the impact of the disease on other organs and systems. Results. In our work we analyzed the experience of treating a patient with uncorrected biliary atresia with late diagnosis. Patient P, blood group A(I) Rh(+) boy, 1st pregnancy, born with weight 2500g, height 50 cm at 39 weeks. Pregnancy: physiologic delivery, Apgar score 99. Liver biopsy confi rmed the diagnosis of biliary atresia with signifi cant cirrhosis. On esophagogastroscopy: signs of incipient portal hypertension. Considering these data and the child’s age (85 days), portoenterostomy as a method of treatment was not appropriate. A course of treatment was prescribed and liver transplantation was determined as the only method of treatment for the patient. Unfortunately, the examination of close relatives to determine the possibility of family donation did not give positive results. The donor was a 14-year-old boy, blood type I(O) Rh(+), with a congenital defect of the central nervous system. After prolonged treatment, the patient had a sudden hemorrhage. After brain death was declared, the parents gave their consent for organ transplantation to recipients on the waiting list. SPLIT transplantation was performed by dividing the donor organ for 2 recipients. The left lobe of the liver was transplanted to a patient with biliary atresia at the age of 1 year and 3 months. Three vascular anastomoses (caval, portal and arterial) were performed together with anastomoses between the bile duct and the intestinal tube of the child. The right hepatic lobe was similarly transplanted in an adult patient.The post-operative period was uneventful. Patients were successfully discharged and continue to receive immunosuppressive therapy on an outpatient basis. SPLIT transplantation is a successful way to solve the problem of donor organ shortage.

Often such changes are detected for the fi rst time. It is now known that after a severe course of COVID-19, interstitial lesions are found in the kidneys, and glomerular changes are added over time. Today, there is no clear answer as to which changes predominate in patients with moderate COVID-19. Of great interest is the probability of glomerulonephritis manifestation 1 year after moderate COVID-19. The aim of the study was to identify a possible relationship between moderate COVID-19 and the manifestation of glomerulonephritis. Materials and methods. We studied 25 patients with stage I-II chronic glomerulonephritis (GN) who had moderate COVID-19 1 year ago, 27 patients who had moderate COVID 1 year ago without the onset of glomerulonephritis, and 20 healthy people with no history of COVID-19. Cluster and classifi cation methods of data mining, enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay were used to study the levels of IL-1 β, IL-6, IL-10 in blood and urine. We investigated possible relationships between moderate- severe COVID-19 and the manifestation of glomerulonephritis. For this purpose, three diff erent clustering methods were used, which are based on completely diff erent mathematical theories: the classical method of k-means, Kohonen maps (neural networks), fuzzy k-means (fuzzy logic). The research was carried out within the framework of the National Research Council of the Department of Internal Medicine of Bukovyna State Medical University «Clinical- pathogenetic justifi cation of diff erentiated treatment of patients with combined pathology of internal organs» (0122U002209 02.2022-12.2026).Results. A signifi cant increase in the content of IL-1β (p<0.05), IL-6 (p<0.05) and a decrease in the content of IL-10 in blood and urine (p<0.05) were found in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis who were sick with COVID-19 of moderate severity 1 year ago (p<0. 05), and a decrease in the level of IL-10 only in blood in patients who had COVID-19 of moderate severity 1 year ago without further development of glomerulonephritis (p<0.05). The clustering technique confi rmed the association between moderate COVID-19 and glomerulonephritis. Signifi cant indicators were found: IL-1β in urine, IL-6 in urine, IL-6 in blood. The main factor that characterizes the patient’s belonging to the healthy cluster is urine IL-1β with the same threshold –4.953≤ urine IL-1β ≤ 9.431, but the factor that determines the belonging to the disease type is urine IL-6 factor (urine IL-6> 0.994).

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), perinatal asphyxia is the third leading cause of neonatal death (23 %) and accounts for 8 % of all deaths in children under 5 years of age. Modern studies have identifi ed a number of risk factors for birth asphyxia, which may vary according to the level of development of the health care system. Despite the diffi culties in predicting and diagnosing neonatal asphyxia in settings with limited resources, there are potential opportunities to reduce neonatal mortality. Successful resuscitation, including early and eff ective positive pressure ventilation and/or tracheal intubation, and maintenance of normal body temperature are strategies that have the potential to reduce mortality.The aim of the study was to determine the number of hypoxic/asphyxial states of the fetus/child in 2023 according to the data of EHCS (Electronic Health Care System), as well as to identify problematic issues of clinical and organizational nature facing the obstetric and neonatal service of Ukraine. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were defi ned: to analyze the frequency of hypoxic states of the fetus during pregnancy, the number of infants with a diagnosis of severe asphyxia, severe hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy and diagnoses related to brain damage coded in the EMR (electronic medical records), and also to analyze the number of deaths among infants with severe asphyxia.Materials and methods. The information base of the study became all the EMRs created by doctors according to the following packages «Medical assistance during childbirth»; «Medical care for newborns in complex neonatal cases» with the basis «born in a hospital» and «transferred from another institution» (hereinafter, the neonatal package); «Inpatient care for adults and children without surgical operations» with the basis «born in a hospital» (hereinafter, the therapeutic package) and «sectional examination».

Premature birth of a child in conditions of hypoxia and morphological and functional immaturity implies a high risk of adaptation disorders in the postnatal period, causing the formation of functional and chronic diseases in the later years of life. The course of the neonatal period can be characterized both by transient states due to the formation of physiological adaptation and the development of dysfunction of organ systems, in particular the digestive system, which is a consequence of pathological labor stress in the implementation of adverse factors during pregnancy and childbirth in the mother.

The timing of eruption is a key indicator of biological age and prenosological diagnosis of children’s health. The need to update research on this topic is due both to changes in society and the importance of modern data for pediatric dentistry and public health. The aim of the study was to determine the regional characteristics of the terms of eruption of permanent teeth in early mixed dentition among children of Odesa. Material and methods. Dental examination was performed on children aged 4 to 8 years of both sexes. The examination was performed according to the generally accepted methodology, using standard dental instruments included in the examination kit. The children were divided into groups according to age and sex. Patients were examined on the basis of age and period of teeth eruption.Results. The results of the study of the eruption of the permanent teeth of the upper and lower jaws in children aged 4.5-8.5 years in Odesa indicate an earlier eruption of the permanent teeth in girls. Thus, in girls the eruption of the first permanent molars began at the age of 4.5 years and ended at the age of 6 years. In boys, the age of onset of fi rst molar eruption was 5 years and the age of completion was 6.5 years. It was found that the timing of the beginning and the end of the eruption of the central permanent incisors of the upper jaw was the same in boys and girls (6 years), but the average duration of eruption was different. The timing of the beginning and end of eruption of the upper lateral incisors was identical in boys and girls. However,diff erences in the average terms of eruption of permanent upper lateral incisors were obtained. The analysis of the results of the terms of eruption of the central permanent incisors of the lower jaw in boys and girls shows the same terms of beginning of eruption and average terms of eruption of these teeth. However, there were diff erences in the time of the end of eruption. The beginning of the eruption of the permanent central incisors of the upper jaw was noted earlier (at the age of 6 years) than the data given in the modern dental manuals of Ukraine and was completed at the age of 8 years. The age of the beginning and the end of eruption was one year earlier than the generally accepted data. The data on the time of eruption of the fi rst permanent molarsand incisors obtained as a result of the study are necessary for planning programs for prevention of dental caries in children in the period of early replacement dentition. The data obtained as a result of the study indicate the need for further epidemiological studies in other regions of Ukraine in order to establish the current national norms for the eruption of permanent teeth in children. \u0000Conclusion. The discrepancy between the dates of eruption of permanent incisors and molars in Odesa children and ","PeriodicalId":162458,"journal":{"name":"Neonatology, surgery and perinatal medicine","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141679892","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}

The article presents a rare clinical case of development of sarcoidosis in a teenage vaper, which was established on the basis of clinical and anamnestic data (acute onset of the disease with fever, dry cough, dyspnea, chest pain, hypoxemia, papular rash on the extremities at the beginning of the disease); inconsistencies of the meager auscultatory picture of the lungs during the physical examination of a diff use lung lesion with an increase in intrathoracic lymph nodes and signs of calcinosis according to the x-ray and CT scan of the thoracic cavity; ineff ectiveness of antibacterial therapy with the exclusion of pulmonary tuberculosis and the disappearance of radiological pathological signs without treatment within 2 weeks, but with the girl’s refusal to smoke. Given the rapidly increasing popularity of vaping among adolescents, family physicians and pulmonologists should be particularly vigilant for severe and potentially fatal respiratory pathology. The clinical case is published with the consent of the parents in accordance with the principles of bioethics.","PeriodicalId":162458,"journal":{"name":"Neonatology, surgery and perinatal medicine","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141677526","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}
