All children underwent a comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination. Immunochemiluminescent assay by the Immulight 2000XPi analyzer was used to determine specific IgE. Results: the analysis of the obtained results showed that sensitization to tree pollen was quite often noted - at least a quarter of those examined with BA and about 20% of children with AD had elevated titers of specific IgE to these allergens. The study of the level of specific IgE to meadow grass pollen showed that in the first group an allergic reaction to pollen of bent grass (31.5%), bonfire (33.3%), timothy grass (29.6%) and fescue (28.3%) was noted more often. In the second group, elevated levels of specific IgE were registered in relation to grasses such as bent grass (31.80%), bonfire (27.7%) and timothy grass (21.5%). The highest level of sensitization in patients with respiratory manifestations of allergy was registered in relation to weed pollen: ragweed (40.7%), quinoa (22.2%) and chamomile (14.8%).

A. baumannii survives for a long time on various surfaces, medical equipment. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this microorganism is classified as a threat to human health. The review describes the main factors of pathogenicity of A. baumannii: outer membrane proteins, pili, LPS, capsule, siderophores, biofilm formation, secretion systems. The literature search was carried out using databases “Scopus”, “Web of Science”, “RSCI”, “MedLine”, in the period from 1992 to 2022. The selection of literature sources was carried out based on the availability of information on the study of pathogenicity factors of Acinetobacter baumannii. 60 literature sources were selected that meet the necessary criteria. The search was carried out using keywords and phrases, such as “A. baumannii”, “pathogenicity factors”, “outer membrane proteins”, “pili”, “LPS”, “capsule”, “siderophores”, “biofilm formation”, “secretion systems”. The review presents the latest achievements obtained by foreign and domestic authors. A. baumannii, like other pathogens, requires the coordinated work of various pathogenicity factors for the occurrence of infection. Together, pathogenicity factors enable the microorganism to survive in hospital conditions. Scientific research data indicate a high degree of heterogeneity of A. baumannii strains. Further research should be aimed at molecular genetic studies of the mechanisms of pathogenicity, the emergence of resistance to antimicrobial drugs. Understanding what mechanisms and factors contribute to the virulence of strains is necessary for the development of new methods of combating A. baumannii.","PeriodicalId":18314,"journal":{"name":"Medical Herald of the South of Russia","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79868566","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}

Materials and methods: a retrospective analysis of 1300 birth histories of full-term newborns whose mothers permanently reside on the territory of the Republic of Crimea was carried out. Mass and length, chest and chest circumference were analyzed. The assessment of the obtained anthropometric indicators was carried out by the centile method according to the INTERGROWTH-21st tables. In the study, we conducted a comparative assessment using the accepted INTERGROWTH-21st standards, comparing them with the accepted domestic assessments of the state of the physical development of newborns. Results: the values of anthropometric indicators of boys in the Republic of Crimea are shifted towards higher estimates. Estimates “below average”, “low”, “very low” are found in no more than 3% of cases. “Above average”, “high”, “very high” are much more common: with 10% — for weight/length ratio, 18% — for weight, 34% — for length, and 51% — for head circumference. The values of anthropometric indicators of girls in the Republic of Crimea are also biased towards higher estimates. Ratings of “below average”, “low”, “very low” are very rare: 6% — for the weight/length ratio, 4% — for the weight rating, less than 1% — for the body length rating and 2% — for the head circumference. “Above average”, “high”, “very high” scores are much more common: 8% — for weight/length ratio, 15% — for weight score, 45% — for length score, and 30%— for OH.

A systematic literature search was conducted on the databases PudMed, Scopus and others. The issues of the evolution of views on the causes of this anomaly and its classifications are also discussed. It is noted that currently the main method of diagnosis of placenta accreta is ultrasound. Two-dimensional grayscale scanning in combination with color Doppler mapping (CDK) and three-dimensional echography with the option of energy Doppler is recommended. However, echography remains an absolutely \"operator dependent\" method, therefore, largely subjective, determined by the experience of a specialist in detecting this pathology with an instrument. MRI is recommended as a tool for assessing the depth of invasion in case of suspected placenta percreta and in the diagnosis of complex cases (placenta previa along the posterior wall of the uterus). Ultrasound and MRI have a very high diagnostic potential. It is generally considered that ultrasound is an inexpensive, widely available imaging method, recommended as a priority in the diagnosis of PAS. MRI does not play a primary role in the diagnosis of PAS, but it can be indispensable for detailing the topography of areas that are difficult to assess with ultrasound.","PeriodicalId":18314,"journal":{"name":"Medical Herald of the South of Russia","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79085801","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}
