Materials and methods. The course and consequences of pregnancy were analyzed in 211 women with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), not infected with HIV and in 18 — with CHB infected with HIV. The replicative activity of the virus and the activity of the inflammatory process in the liver were evaluated. We studied the dynamics of indicators depending on the trimester of pregnancy, the degree of immunosuppression caused by HIV. The frequency of risk factors was determined by «case-control» studies, and the frequency of identified risk factors was calculated in the groups of mothers in whom CHB was transmitted to the child and in those in which it did not occur. The degree of influence of individual risk factors was determined by the value of relative risk (RR), determined by their 95% confidence interval (95% CI), the reliability of the results (p) according to the Student's t-test. Differences at p<0.05 were considered probable. Results. It is established that risk factors that contribute to intrauterine infection of the fetus are: maternal — viral load HBV >105 copies/ml in the third trimester, HIV infection, immunosuppression caused by HIV (CD4+ Т-lymphocytes <500 cells/μL), low adherence to antiretroviral therapy, maternal bad habits; fetal — intrauterine growth restriction, fetal distress; obstetric — premature placental abruption, preterm delivery, placental dysfunction, prolonged anhydrous interval, prelabor rupture of membranes. In pregnant women with CHB, each risk factor was assessed in points depending on the RR: those factors whose relative risk was highest — 5 points, those whose score was lower — 4 and 3 points, respectively, and those whose score was the lowest — in 2 points. In order to predict the risk of fetal infection, a working prognostic chart with a score from 2 to 5 was developed. It was found that the risk of HBV infection in women with HIV-negative status is high with a score of 19–34, moderate — at 18–11, low — <10 points. In women with HIV-positive status — high risk of fetal intrauterine infection at a score of 24–46, moderate — at 13–23, low — <12 points. Conclusions. The use of the proposed prognostic map in the practice of medical institutions with a score of total risk factors for each pregnant woman will facilitate early prediction of fetal infection in pregnant women with CHB, taking into account their HIV status, which will allow to diagnose timely congenital infections and provides outpatient observation for these children.

Purpose — to study the influence of the nature of feeding on the incidence and physical development of infants. Materials and methods. During the year, 250 children (118 girls and 132 boys) of the first year of life were under observation, who received various types of feeding (breast milk and milk formulas, differing in composition). The main (I) group (n=130) included children (62 girls and 68 boys) who were breastfed; and in the comparison group — children receiving artificial feeding: in group II (n=60) (27 girls and 33 boys) received a standard mixture with a prebiotic; in group III (n=60) (29 girls and 31 boys) — a standard mixture without a prebiotic. Physical development was assessed according to the generally accepted measurement technique in terms of absolute values, monthly increases in anthropometric indicators and mass-growth indices. Outpatient records of children, protocols of examination of a 1-year-old child were studied (accounting and reporting documentation was analyzed). The criteria for inclusion in the main group of infants were: breastfeeding for at least 9 months; the age of children from up to 1 year of age. The second comparison group included children who were fed mixed with the addition of probiotic means. Results. In girls of the second group, who were artificially fed with the addition of a probiotic — 7100.0±95.9 g, the weight gain in the first year of life was significantly higher than the weight gain of girls who received breast milk and standard formula — 6671.0±72.6 g and 6733.3±91.8 g, respectively. Despite the fact that there were no significant differences in the medians of body weight and height in children of the main group and the comparison groups, it was found that children in the main group were overweight/obese at 12 months had two or more times less indicators than children who received artificial nutrition.

Thus, the prevalence of dental caries in children in the period of temporary occlusion reaches 80–90%, in the period of permanent occlusion — 70–80%. The prevalence of chronic catarrhal gingivitis in children 12–15 years of age is 70–80%, reaching 95–98% in some regions, and localized and generalized periodontitis – 4.1–16.4%. It is known that the pathogenesis of dental diseases is closely related to the presence of a bad habit — smoking, mostly there is a strict correlation between the intensity and experience of smoking and the emergence and development of pathological changes in various organs and systems, including the oral cavity. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is an important factor influencing the occurrence of periodontal disease. It is known that the formation of oral care skills is formed in childhood, so the study of oral hygiene and the level of hygienic knowledge in adolescents with healthy periodontitis and catarrhal gingivitis in order to further develop a scheme of preventive measures remains one of the most important areas of pediatric dentistry. Purpose — to study the level of hygienic oral care and knowledge in teenagers and young adults who smoke. Materials and methods. The level of knowledge on the observance of individual oral hygiene in 87 people aged 15 to 24 years was studied. The main group included 40 adolescents and young people who smoked, in the comparison group we included 47 people of the same age without a bad habit of smoking. Results. It was found that the majority of all respondents have information on how to properly care for the hygiene of RP, respectively 67.54±3.75% — in the main group, 72.78±4.81% — in the comparison group. However, not all respondents have the full amount of information, as indicated by 23.43±7.51% of adolescents and young people in the main group and 17.86±6.42%. In addition, the individual assessment of their own oral care skills according to the respondents revealed that not all respondents regularly oral care. In the main group only 59.56±4.61% indicated regular oral care, which was 1.4 times less than in the comparison group 81.42±5.73% (p<0.001). Conclusions. It is necessary to conduct additional hygienic training, mandatory reinformation on the risks of dental diseases, in order to form a system of sustainable understanding and awareness of the need for adolescents and young people to observe individual oral hygiene.

In pregnant women, the rhythmic function of the intestine slows down due to an increase in the threshold of excitability of its receptors to biologically active substances. The article provides an overview of modern literary sources on the problem of acute intestinal obstruction in pregnant women. According to foreign literature sources, the incidence of intestinal obstruction in pregnant women is 1:3600–1:66000, and complications of diseases of the digestive system rank 4th among the causes of maternal mortality during pregnancy — 9%. According to domestic scientific sources, the frequency with which intestinal obstruction occurs in pregnant women is 1:40000–1:50000 births, mortality reaches 35–50%, stillbirth — 60–75%. The development of the disease is caused by physiological changes in the body of a pregnant woman. With increasing gestational age there are changes in the anatomical arrangement of the abdominal organs. From the second trimester of pregnancy, the uterus extends beyond the pelvis and gradually occupies the entire abdominal cavity. The increase in the size of the uterus due to hypertrophy and hyperplasia of muscle fibers, amniotic fluid, fetal growth, leads to increased intraabdominal pressure, displacement of the small intestine and lumbar colon up, thereby creating conditions for compression of intestinal loops, nodules, development. The modern classification, clinic, diagnostics and methods of treatment of this surgical pathology are presented. The author presents his own clinical case of acute intestinal obstruction in a 51-year-old pregnant woman with the sixth desired pregnancy, which occurred as a result of assisted reproductive technologies and a large intergenetic interval. Both surgeon and obstetrician-gynecologist treat intestinal obstruction in pregnant women. Conservative treatment is carried out simultaneously with diagnostic procedures. No effect of conservative therapy for 2 hours is an indication for surgery. The main purpose of surgery is to eliminate the causes of intestinal obstruction and restore bowel function. The scope of surgery is determined in each case individually and depends on the type of AIO and the age of the disease. The chosen tactics of the preoperative period, the volume of surgery, anesthesia and adequate management of the postoperative period can cure acute surgical pathology, maintain the desired pregnancy, avoid the development of obstetric and surgical purulent-septic complications.

The clinical course of all allergic dermatoses is accompanied by itch, although its severity varies depending on the nosology. An important focus of treatment of allergic dermatoses is to control of skin itch, as it is the leading symptom. According to the international program documents EAACI (European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology), AAAAI (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology), PRACТALL (Practical Allergology Consensus Report) in treatment of allergic dermatoses the leading place takes anti-itch therapy, which requires an individual approach and daily care of skin. Systemic anti-itch therapy includes using of the following drugs: antihistamines, glucocorticosteroids, membrane's stabilizators (kromons), leukotriene receptor antagonists, anti-IgE. External anti-itch therapy consists of local application of emollients, topical glucocorticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, topical anti-histamines, reparants and epithelializing medications.

Purpose — to study the meaning of certain clinical and paraclinical markers of myocardial dysfunction in neonates with sepsis. Materials and methods. In order to realize the objective we have observed 69 neonates with signs of generalized infectious-inflammatory process.

Materials and methods. The efficacy of Phytolysin Active (1 capsule per day for 21 days) in the complex treatment for urinary tract infection was studied in comparison with the group of pregnant women using traditional antimicrobial therapy. The first group consisted of 27 pregnant women who received complex treatment (antibiotic therapy + Phytolysin Active), the second consisted of 25 women who used exclusively antibiotic therapy. Among pregnant women in the first group, symptomatic gestational cystitis was observed in 9 (33.3%) cases, and in the second group in 8 (32%) patients. Results. The effectiveness of combination therapy with the use of Phytolysin Active was proved by significant improvement in general well-being and disappearance of cystitis symptoms in 8 (88.9%) women compared with 5 (62.5%) patients in the treatment group who used exclusively antimicrobial drugs. After treatment with the addition of Phytolysin Active to antibiotic therapy, Escherichiaсoli pathogen, which is most often diagnosed in this pathology, was observed in 1 (3.7%) women compared to 5 (20%) cases in the second group.

Materials and methods. A survey of 256 adolescents in primary schools examined the health status, psychological state of the family and school. 337 adolescents were examined, 101 were at risk group, 80 were adolescent from social rehabilitation boarding schools and 156 were in control group to identify the reasons that prompted adolescents to behave negatively. Results. We found decreased health indicators of adolescents from risk group, a psychological condition in their families was unsatisfactory in a large proportion of adolescents: 13.3% was nervous, 11% was depressed, 7.6% was anxious, 8.8% s aggressive. The same pattern was observed in school conditions — 26.5% of adolescents indicated anxiety-nervous state, 16.2% — depressed, 9.8% — aggressive.
