According to this theory, hereditary factors, dysembriogenesis, trauma, carcinogenic effects, viral infection, intoxication, radiation, etc. play an important role in the development of tumors.\u0000\u0000Although scientists keep finding out more about genetic and environmental factors influencing the development of many types of tumors, spinal tumors are still a relatively unknown subject. Spinal tumors partially contain pathological genes, but in many cases, researchers don't know what causes these genetic changes.\u0000\u0000Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) make up 12% of all tumors, tumors of the spinal cord – 3% of nervous system disorders, in the structure of malignant lesions of the CNS – 1,4-5%, occur mainly at the age of 20-60 years. In children, as well as in elderly and senile persons, these tumors are rare. Most often, they develop not from the brain matter, but from the surrounding tissue, and when they increase in size, they compress the spinal cord.\u0000\u0000Spinal tumors are usually divided into primary and secondary. The group of primary tumors include tumors, originating from the brain matter (intramedullar tumors), and those that grow from the membranes of the brain, roots, vessels (extramedullar tumors). Extramedullar tumors are much more common (in 80% of all spinal tumors) than intramedullar tumors.\u0000\u0000Extramedullar tumors can be both subdural and epidural. The majority of extramedullar tumors are subdural. Occasionally there are tumors, some of which are located inside the dural sac, and some – outside the dura mater, they are subdural-epidural tumors, as well as epidural-extrovertebral tumors.\u0000Among extramedullar tumors the most commonly diagnosed are meningiomas and neurinomas, among intramedullar the most common are ependymomas, less common are astrocytomas and oligodendroglioma. Glioblastomas of the spinal cord is extremely rare; the most common metastases from the posterior fossa are medulloblastomas.\u0000Intracerebral tumors of the spinal cord are characterized by greater biological benignity, than similar brain tumors. Extracerebral spinal cord tumors have no such differences in their biological properties.\u0000In general, spinal cord tumors are more common in elderly patients. Neurinomas and meningiomas predominate in adults, and ependymomas and dysgenetic tumors (teratoma, epidermoid cysts) – in children.\u0000Peculiarities of etiopathogenetic aspects, clinical course, influence on socio-economic factors encourage further improvement of diagnosis and more detailed study of this type of tumors.\u0000\u0000Materials and methods.

The presence and absence of mitral regurgitation were included also. Thus, 56 (52.8%) children with MVP of the 1 st degree formed subgroup without mitral regurgitation, and 34 (32.1%) – with regurgitation. MVP of the 2 nd degree formed subgroup which included children both without – 6 (5.6%) and with regurgitation – 10 (9.4%). The control group consisted of 23 almost healthy children of the same age. All patients were clinically examined and consulted by specialists. Common echocardiographic parameters were used for the study. Results. An increase (p<0.05) of E/A parameter in children with MVP was noted, mainly with 1 st degree. It showed the initial manifestations of diastolic dysfunction of the heart. This indicator increases with regurgitation appearance and depends from the MVP degree (r=0.45). Hemodynamics was generally within normal criteria. Conclusions . In children with mitral valve prolapse, regardless to degree, normovolemic and eukinetic type of central hemodynamic was observed. Children with MVP with regurgitation appearance have increased risk of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. With the progression of mitral valve prolapse, manifestations of diastolic myocardial dysfunction increases.

Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. Recently, this disease has been considered as a social problem, which is getting more and more urgent. The increase in the incidence and mortality of type 2 diabetes observed in recent decades requires active influence on risk factors, development of preventive measures, optimization of treatment regimens, active use of physical therapy. \u0000Purpose: To investigate the possibility of quality of life improvement in middle-aged people with type 2 diabetes by means of adjustment of physical activity, namely by implementing a specially designed physical therapy program. \u0000Materials and methods: survey (WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire), somatometry (height, weight, circumference), pulsometry, tonometry, dynamometry (handgrip), functional tests (static strength endurance, aerobic endurance), perceived exertion (Borg scale). \u0000An adequate physiotherapy program for middle-aged people with type 2 diabetes that is suitable for treatment and rehabilitation process was proposed. The program was implemented in the University Clinic of Sumy State University. \u0000Discussion: The theoretical part of the paper emphasizes that the use of comprehensive approach only can help normalize carbohydrate metabolism, increase exercise tolerance, reduce body weight, and improve quality of life. During implementation of the experimental part of the study, we contributed to motivation to increase motor activity, implemented a program of physical therapy for middle-aged people with type 2 diabetes and class I-II obesity, which consisted of strength and aerobic exercises of moderate intensity and relaxation exercises. The empirical part of the work proves the program to be the effective. The analysis of the results indicates positive changes in the functional systems of the organism, namely, decrease in waist circumference, hip circumference, neck circumference, significant change in shoulder arc length, increase in ankle circumference, body mass index, waist circumference to hip circumference ratio, significant increase in static strength endurance of abdominal muscles.

The main component of the metabolic syndrome (MS) is the abdominal obesity (AO) which inevitably leads to insulin resistance (IR). Adiponectin (AN) secreted by the adipocytes protects from the IR development, increases the sensitivity of skeletal muscles to insulin, reduces intake of free fatty acids in a liver and, thus reduces the synthesis of atherogenic lipoproteins. Some investigations prove that the level of the adiponectin in blood plasma correlates back with the mass of the fatty tissue, the waist-hip ratio and IR expressiveness. With obesity, AN secretion decreases, losing its protective role as for the risk of IR development and metabolic violations. \u0000It is known that ADIPOQ gene has several polymorphic sites, which influence the production and activity of AN. Allelic options of its polymorphic marker G276T are associated with the development of the AO, IR, and diabetes. \u0000The aim of the study was to investigate the association of the genetic polymorphism of the G276T marker of the adiponectin gene with changes in metabolic parameters in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and concomitant obesity. \u0000We examined 300 patients with AH 45 to 55 years old who gave informed written consent to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria. Group 1 consisted of 200 patients with AH and class I–II obesity, group 2 – 50 patients with AH and normal body weight, group 3 – 50 patients with AH and overweight.

It has been proven that adiponectin gene polymorphism influenced changes in metabolic parameters in hypertensive patients with obesity: more pronounced impairment of metabolic parameters in G/T and T/T genotypes as compared to G/G genotype.

Quality of life (QoL) indicators in case of chronic heart failure (CHF) are associated with a number of clinical and instrumental indicators, which makes it possible to consider its assessment as one of the leading indicators of its severity. From a practical point of view, the identification of QoL indicators as the markers of CHF severity in patients with concomitant iron metabolism disorders, including different variants of latent and manifest iron deficiency (ID)is rather interesting. \u0000Purpose. To compare QoL parameters by means of MOS SF-36 and MLHFQ questionnaires in patients with CHF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction with different iron deficiency types. \u0000Materials and Methods. 152 patients with CHF functional class (FC) II-III according to NYHA with reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) of hypertensive and ischemic etiology with/and without iron deficiency (ID) were examined. All patients were divided into three clinical groups: the first clinical group (which is presented as a comparison group) amounted to 30 (19.7 %) patients with CHF with reduced LV EF without ID, the second one amounted to 60 (39.5 %) patients with CHF with reduced LV EF and latent ID, which included a number of patients with functional and absolute ID and the third clinical group amounted to 62 (40.79 %) patients with I-II severity degree of concomitant iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
