Against the background of the military invasion of muscovites to the territory of Ukraine with constant air attacks on cities with a high population density, the load on the emergency medical service has increased many times, which requires the fastest possible improvement of its structure and work organization. The one of the important factors driving the increase patient admissions to emergency departments is often non-urgent calls or visits, that is, visits by patients with conditions that do not require urgent attention or complex medical interventions and can be safely treated by primary medical aid. The consequences of overloading the emergency medical service negatively affect patients and medical personnel. So, low medical care quality leads to mortality among the patients, the numerous of medical errors and financial costs, and there is \"burnout\" of medical staff. The key to success is the correct organization of medical triage. Some countries have their own system of medical triage, although it is not different fundamentally. In the triage process, there are three options for evaluating the decision on the urgency category of assistance: expected result, excessive level or undersorting. Resource overspending occurs when the assigned triage category has a higher level of urgency than necessary. This so-called medical re-sorting is a reassessment of the severity of an illness or injury. Despite the progressively increasing load on the emergency medical service in Ukraine against the background of the moscow invasion and the increase in its funding in recent years, only a quantitative indicators of its work have significantly increased without much improvement in the quality of care due to absent of the any changes in the organization of the work of the emergency service which is based on outdated Soviet management principles.","PeriodicalId":24028,"journal":{"name":"Актуальні проблеми сучасної медицини: Вісник Української медичної стоматологічної академії","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140227691","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}

It is also important to address the pathogenetic nature in using such agents, especially fro local application. This study investigated the efficacy of a multicomponent gel containing decamethoxine and hyaluronic acid in treating chronic catarrhal gingivitis among patients with chronic tonsillitis. The purpose of the work is to assess the efficacy of a gel containing decamethoxine and hyaluronic acid on the tissue of the palatine tonsils in the therapy of chronic catarrhal gingivitis in patients with chronic tonsillitis. \u0000Materials and methods. To investigate the effects of the main active components in the gel, we followed the recommendations of I.P. Kaidashev et al. for testing pharmacological preparations in in vitro cultures. Tissue samples from the palatine tonsils were obtained from 20 patients with chronic tonsillitis and chronic catarrhal gingivitis undergoing tonsillectomy. All procedures adhered to the guidelines set by the Laboratory of Pathophysiology and Immunology at Prof. O.S. Kolomiichenko Institute of Otolaryngology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Palatine tonsil tissue was incubated in 199 medium (Serva, Germany) containing gentamicin sulfate (Darnytsa, Ukraine) at a concentration of 120 μg/ml for 20 minutes at 4-8°C. After that, the hemorrhagic parts were removed from the whole tonsil and placed into Eagle's medium (Sigma, USA) and rinsed three to four times. Subsequently, the prepared tissue was placed in sterile vials containing enriched Eagle's medium supplemented with L-glutamine, sodium bicarbonate, 100x vitamin concentrate, 5% fetal calf serum, and 60 μg/mL gentamicin. Tonsil tissue was dissected using scissors and then washed repeatedly (5-7 times) with fresh medium to remove loosely attached cells, then, the resulting cell suspension was filtered. All procedures were conducted within a sterile laminar flow cabinet. Cell viability was assessed using light microscopy (Olympus-23, Japan) and a hemocytometer. A final cell suspension containing 2.5 million lymphocytes per milliliter of medium was prepared. Suspensions with a viability of less than 90% (blue, \"dead\" cells) were excluded from further experiments. \u0000Results. Treatment of in vitro palatine tonsil cells from patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis and recurrent tonsillitis with the main components of the developed gel (decamethoxine and hyaluronic acid) did not induce significant changes in the concentration of α and γ-interferons. Our findings suggest that the gel composition reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory factors: interleukin-1β and immune complexes.

However, the mechanisms of action of the COVID-19 virus remain unidentified to date. Distinctive alterations that occur in the immune system of trauma victims with COVID-19, setting them apart from changes observed in other diseases. This underscores the specificity of traumatic disease within this patient with COVID-19. \u0000The study aims to assess the response of humoral immunity markers in patients with fractures of long bones and COVID-19 and to explore their role in early diagnosing infectious complications in this particular group of patients. \u0000Materials and methods: To accomplish the study objectives, we assembled a retrospective dataset comprising 289 cases of skeletal bone fractures treated at the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital of Emergency Medical Care from March, 2020 to February, 2021, meeting the inclusion criteria for the study. The entire dataset consisted of 289 cases of skeletal bone fractures, categorized into two groups: the main group and the control group. \u0000 Results: On the first day of treatment, an increase in some pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β and IL-4) with a normal level of TNF-α, normal values of IFN-γ, IFN-α and a sharp decrease in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL was observed among the patients of the main group -10. On the third day of the treatment, there was a significant increase in all pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, IL-4 and TNF-α), both types of interferons, and an even sharper decrease in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. On the tenth day, the growth in the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines was noted, among which the level of TNF-α was the leader, a subnormal level of interferons and anti-inflammatory interleukin 10 was observed. Conclusions: The dynamics of pro-inflammatory cytokines in patients with long bone fractures against the background of COVID-19 tended to increase and had a maximum level on the third day of treatment.

The study of tissue reactions to the placement of polymeric materials (polypropylene mesh), used for the treatment of hernias, remains relevant. The paper examines the hypothesis regarding the existence of certain differences in tissue reactions to polypropylene implants without and with treatment of the latter with an antimicrobial agent. Objective of this study is to investigate the reaction of the tissues of the peritoneum and the muscle-aponeurotic layer of the abdominal wall to a polypropylene implant treated with thyrothricin, used for the treatment of complicated variants of inguinal hernias. \u0000Materials and methods. Experimental studies were conducted on laboratory sexually mature male Wistar rats. Experimental animals made up 4 groups of 5 animals each. The 1st group included control animals (intact). In the rats of the 2nd group, a defect of the abdominal wall of the hypogastric region was surgically modeled. In the animals of the 3rd experimental group, after modeling the defect of the abdominal wall, a polypropylene mesh implant was placed between the peritoneum and the inner leaf of the aponeurosis of the rectus abdominis muscles. The 4th experimental group consisted of animals in which the polypropylene implant was additionally treated with a thyrothricin solution. \u0000Results. During the experimental study, the integration of tissue elements of the peritoneal walls and the muscle-aponeurotic layer of the abdominal wall with the material of polypropylene meshes was revealed. Active processes of collagenogenesis were observed in the boundary zones and the area of integration with the implant, as well as pronounced manifestations of vascularization of the newly formed connective tissue. The morphological features of the connective tissue formed in the area and around intact implants and meshes treated with thyrothricin did not significantly differ from each other, but significantly prevailed over the condition of the tissues in intact animals. No particular difference between the above-mentioned changes in the tissues of animals of the 3rd and 4th groups was found. \u0000Conclusion.

This study aims at identifying challenges in supervising student scientific research in higher education, drawing on experiences of both foreign and domestic university faculties. Literature from PubMed and Google Scholar databases was reviewed, focusing on articles related to the topic. Researchers suggest early engagement of students in scientific research within laboratories and participation in inquiry-based programs such as \"discovery-based,\" \"project-based,\" and \"inquiry-based,\" mirroring real-world scientific practices. These approaches offer valuable insights into science, providing structured support and laboratory experience for students. However, challenges such as material and technical limitations and teachers' lack of motivation to dedicate sufficient time to students hinder the widespread implementation of research programs in universities. To foster successful student scientific research, students must be motivated to take ownership of their work, and department laboratories require adequate material and technical support to facilitate student research groups. Additionally, scientific mentors should receive adequate pedagogical training to effectively guide research groups. Mentor efforts should focus on encouraging student participation in research activities by enhancing their awareness and creating opportunities for engagement.","PeriodicalId":24028,"journal":{"name":"Актуальні проблеми сучасної медицини: Вісник Української медичної стоматологічної академії","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140227656","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 imbalance between macro- and microelements leads to structural and functional changes in the spongy bone tissue of the lower jaw, and when being combined with the inflammatory process in the soft tissues of the periodontium leads to the tooth loss. Mineral elements deposited in the bones are included in the body buffer systems and are able to influence the metabolic processes of the macroorganism by mobilizing them into the bloodstream. \u0000The aim of the study is to carry out a comparative analysis of mineral element concentrations in the bone tissue of the alveolar process of the lower jaw in rats with experimentally induced periodontitis under conditions of simulated metabolic disorders and following pharmacotherapeutic correction. \u0000Materials and methods. The reseach was conducted on 80 white outbred sexually mature male rats aged 2-4 months and weighing 120-200 g. The animals were divided into 5 groups (16 in each): two control groups representing NC (negative control) and PC (conditionally positive control) and three experimental groups: I Group, II Group, III Group. The NC group consisted of animals kept on a standard vivarium diet throughout the experiment. The animals of PC, I – III Groups were exposed to peridontitis simulation: the rats received 0.04% solution of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) per os within 30 days. Animals in group III (experimental periodontitis) received intramuscular injections of 5% meldonium dihydrate solution in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg of body weight. The rats in group IV (periodontitis treatment) received \"Calcium glycerophosphate\" (a first-generation calcium supplement) in a dose of 133 mg/kg. Group V (combination treatment) received both the meldonium dihydrate solution and calcium glycerophosphate in the same respective doses. Tissue levels of zinc, magnesium, strontium, calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron were measured using atomic absorption (zinc, magnesium), atomic emission (strontium, calcium, sodium, potassium), and photometric (phosphorus, iron) methods. \u0000Results. The change in the amount of elements in the mandibular cancellous bone tissue reveals irregularity and different mechanisms over the course of the mineralization process, depending on the chosen means of correction. The findings obtained suggest that the corrective treatments (meldonium dihydrate, calcium glycerophosphate, or their combination) promoted gradual bone density improvement through the accumulation of studied elements in the rat mandible.

Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize and manage one's own and others' emotions. Analytical studies have shown that emotional intelligence ranks as the third most important personality trait, following intelligence and conscientiousness, in determining human activity. Acquiring modern knowledge about emotional intelligence is crucial for individuals engaged in activities involving interpersonal interaction, especially for professions where individuals influence others, such as teachers-students behavior in higher education settings. The influence of a teacher on the emotional well-being of students is paramount. Communicating in the medical profession is essential, and guiding students' emotions positively is vital for enhancing their motivation to learn. Positive emotions conveyed through facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice can steer the educational process toward constructive outcomes. It is well-known that a good doctor possesses the ability to make patients feel better simply through conversation. These exceptional doctors often possess or consciously develop emotional intelligence as a character trait. Educational efforts aimed at fostering and developing emotional intelligence in future specialists are therefore crucial. Thus, modern higher education teachers must comprehend and deeply grasp the concept of emotional intelligence, being prepared to engage with students on an emotional level. Conclusion. Societal awareness of the current state of scientific understanding regarding emotional intelligence can significantly impact various aspects of society, from individual collectives to interstate relations. Faculty across disciplines should acquire knowledge about emotional intelligence to effectively carry out their teaching responsibilities. Medical students should acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities related to emotional intelligence to fulfill their professional duties successfully in the future.","PeriodicalId":24028,"journal":{"name":"Актуальні проблеми сучасної медицини: Вісник Української медичної стоматологічної академії","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140224200","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 research was carried out at the City Specialized Children and Youth Sports School, Olympic Reserve, Kharkiv, focusing on the Figure Skating Department. A total of 10 participants were involved in the study. \u0000A hypothesis was formulated and subsequently validated regarding the adverse effects of specific loads in figure skating on athletes' feet. Following the acquisition of results, an affirming experiment was undertaken, involving young athletes from diverse specializations. \u0000Results. Engaging in sports carries inherent risks of diverse injuries. The prevalence of flat feet among athletes is extensively discussed in the literature, with statistics indicating that 50 to 92% of athletes across various specializations exhibit alterations in their foot arches. Addressing this issue becomes imperative, specifically through the development of an optimal rehabilitation program for children-athletes with flat feet in different specializations. An effective rehabilitation program for flat feet among young athletes of various specializations was formulated and experimentally evaluated. All athletes included in the study exhibited flat feet of the 1st or 2nd degree in their medical history. In a majority of cases, this condition was coupled with a valgus deformity. Notably, the degree of foot deformity varied between the right and left lower limbs in some instances. The rehabilitation program was seamlessly integrated into the warm-up phase of the training routine and implemented three times a week over a period of six weeks. \u0000Conclusions. The study findings conclusively highlight the efficacy of the program, as evidenced by the parameters derived from the experiment. There was a notable increase in the height of both the longitudinal and transverse arches, a reduction in the abduction angle of the 1st toe, and enhanced strength in the foot muscles. Rigorous statistical analysis of the collected data further substantiated their reliability, firmly establishing the effectiveness of the proposed rehabilitation program for athletes with flat feet.
