Adolescent obesity, associated in many cases with HD, and with a high risk of developing vitamin D (vitD) deficiency. Obesity in association with HD and vitD deficiency causes serious health problems, and the vitD/parathyroid hormone (PTH) axis plays a potential role in their etiopathogenesis. Purpose - to study the relationship between vitD, vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP) and parathyroid hormone levels in adolescents with obesity against the background of HD. Materials and methods. The serum level of vitD was determined by the immunochemiluminescence method on microparticles (Abbott, USA) in 87 children and adolescents with overweight/obesity against the background of HD aged 10-16 years. The VDBP level was determined using enzyme-linked immunospecific assay (ELISA) with commercial standard kit Elabsciense Biotechnology Co., Ltd (USA). The PTH level - by immunochemiluminescence assay with commercial standard kit Monobind (USA). Results. Insufficiency of vitD was noted in 32.2%, deficiency - in 56.3% of patients. The severity of obesity was associated with the levels of vitD: a decrease in the level of vitD in children and adolescents with overweight (69.30±5.14 nmol/l) and the I stage of obesity (52.60±4.17 nmol/l), a significant deficiency of vitD in persons with the II and III stages of obesity (36.20±3.75 nmol/l, 23.10±3.12 nmol/l respectively). A significant decrease of vitD level in obese patients was accompanied by a significant increase of the PTH level. In the III stage of obesity, the level of PTH was twice as high as the level of PTH in practically healthy children and adolescents with normal MT and in patients with excess body weight (p<0.05). With a body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2, there was a significant decrease in the content of vitD, associated with a significant increase in the level of PTH and a sharp decrease in the level of VDBP. The level of VDBP had a positive correlation with vitD level and a negative relationship with BMI. A significant decrease in the content of VDBP (58.71±18.43 ng/ml)) was established in comparison with a group of practically healthy children and adolescents with normal body weight (141.65±25.34 ng/ml) (р<0.05). Conclusions. The results indicate the presence of certain changes in the PTH/vitD/VDBP axis in children and adolescents with excess body weight/obesity against the background of HD, which are an integral part of the complex manifestation of the disease. Maintaining an adequate vitD status can contribute to the prevention of such disorders. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration.

The analysis was conducted at two powerful medical centers - the Princess Anna maternity hospital in city Warsaw, Poland, and the KNP KMPB No. 5 in city Kyiv, Ukraine. The prolonged war in Ukraine has complicated the timely diagnosis and proper treatment of pathological conditions. To assess this problem, two groups were created: control and experimental, and a total of 366 pregnant patients were studied. In Warsaw, 206 patients were analyzed, while in the Kyiv maternity hospital, 160 patients were analyzed. During the analysis, one of the conclusions drawn was that chronic hypertension during pregnancy is strongly associated with pregnancy complications and negatively affected by other complicating factors such as maternal age, previous pregnancy complications, and obesity. Separate groups were identified and calculated for complications in each center separately. The degree of depression among pregnant women undergoing examination was also taken into account, and those who needed help from specialists were referred to psychologists.

Materials and methods. The research group consisted of 70 children aged 7-14 without chronic pathology who suffered from COVID-19 and had laboratory confirmation of the disease. Assessment of the functioning of the vessels’ endothelium was done by studying the dynamics of blood flow in the brachial artery and changes of it diameter at rest and during reactive hyperemia after an occlusion test. Statistical assessment of the obtained data was carried out by the application package «Statistica 10.0 for Windows» using the method of variational statistics. Student’s t-test was calculated to assess the reliability of mean values differences. Results. The state of endothelial function show that 85.4% of children after COVID-19 infection had signs of endothelial dysfunction, mainly hypoergic (32.9%) and paradoxical (30%) forms, while normoergic function of the endothelium was found only in 14.6% of children. In the same time in the group of children who did not suffer from COVID-19, was found that the normorergic form registrated in 80.0%, hyperergic endothelial dysfunction was found in 13.3% of children, and hypoergic - in 6.7% of children. Paradoxical endothelial dysfunction was not found in any child from this group. Conclusions. COVID-19 infection has negative consequences on the endothelium function and contributes to the development of endothelial dysfunction regardless of the severity of the disease course.

Purpose - to conduct an analysis, change trends, and an integrated assessment (IA) of the main predictors of high-risk pregnancy (HRP) in Ukraine in 2010-2021. Materials and methods. A comprehensive retrospective analysis, a general characterization of the dynamics and regional features of the integral assessment of the main predictors of HRP based on the data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the Medical Statistics Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, was carried out. Structured by individual components of the IA of the main predictors of HRP, it was carried out according to the generally accepted methodology of comprehensive assessment of the health status of the population based on integral indicators. The interpretation of the results of IA was based on the fact that the higher the integral indicator, the greater the risk of developing HRP. The methods of a systemic approach, structural-logical, epidemiological analysis were used. mathematical, modeling. Results. Analytical data show that in recent years in Ukraine, the levels of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality have remained high despite a multidirectional trend, a significant part of which could have been prevented by identifying and minimizing predictors of HRP. The analysis of the state of the main predictors of the development of HRP revealed high levels of the birth rate of young (5.21‰) and older (7.86 ‰) women with an increase in their total contribution to the total birth rate from 9.5% in 2010 to 16.29% in 2021, the rate of growth is 71.5%, insufficient with a negative trend of coverage of pregnant women by dispensary supervision and examination by a therapist (90.7% in 2010 and 87.82% in 2021, the rate of loss is 3.9% and 90.83%, 89.51% and 9.9% respectively). During this period, the frequency of diseases and complications of the gestational period remains high - anemia (26.4% in 2010, 24.75% in 2021, growth rate - 6.5%), diseases of the circulatory system (6.2-6.34% and 2.3%), diseases of the genitourinary system (14.05-14.03% and -2.4%), diabetes (0.17-0.96% and 452.9%), diseases of the thyroid gland (9.65, 9.2% and 1.76%), preeclampsia and eclampsia (2.31-2.1% and -9.1%), preeclampsia (6.65-6.7% and 0.8%) and venous complications (2.84-4.98% and 69.0%).

In conscious patients undergoing surgery under neuraxial or regional anesthesia, completing the checklist may have psychological or mental consequences (anxiety, fear, etc.), as the procedure involves discussing the risks of complications, anesthetic and surgical tactics. Purpose - to assess the perception and compliance of conscious patients during cesarean section with the procedure of filling out the «Safe Surgery» checklist; to identify possible negative psychological effects of this procedure. Materials and methods. The study included 100 patients after planned or urgent caesarean section (except for 1 category of urgency). The study was conducted on the basis of an anonymous survey (online Google form) of patients in the postoperative period (1-2 hours after surgery). Patients were asked to rate the impact of completing the Safe Surgery Checklist on their comfort and anxiety levels, and whether they believed that routine use of such technologies increased their safety. Results. The results of this study indicate that the majority of patients responded positively to the use of the WHO checklist implemented in the operating room. More than half of the surveyed patients (56%) were worried about a possible error during the preparation or carrying out of the surgical intervention. Almost all patients - 13 (92.9%) who had experienced medical errors before, worried that a medical error during this intervention could harm their health (OR=13; 95% CI: 1.6-103.7; p=0.006). The procedure of filling out the checklist alleviated the feeling of loss in 66% of patients and did not cause discomfort in 96% of respondents. 68% of patients agreed that the procedure of filling out the checklist reduced anxiety. The vast majority of patients (90%) agreed that the procedure of filling out the «Safe Surgery» checklist increases their level of safety in the operating room. 96% of patients believed that the checklist should be used before every surgical intervention and 96% would like it to be used during future surgical interventions. Conclusions. Patients who were conscious during Caesarean section positively perceived the procedure of filling out the «Safe Surgery» checklist and believed that the use of such a checklist increases safety during surgery. Most patients also reported no discomfort and reduced fear and anxiety during the Safe Surgery Checklist procedure.

Materials and methods. This research investigates the potential epigenetic risk factors for COVID-19 onset and progression in women of childbearing age in the Kharkiv region. An original, comprehensive questionnaire designed to capture a wide range of health and socio-biological risk factors was disseminated among 100 women who had contracted the virus. Follow-up examinations and interviews were conducted with 26 of these women. The questionnaire covered a broad spectrum, including general information, social status, working conditions, smoking and alcohol use habits, sexual health history, and a interview. Results. The study revealed that a notable proportion of the surveyed women experienced adverse working conditions. 7.7% reported regular and 11.5% occasional exposure to chemically harmful environments. About 19.2% indicated consistent and 34.6% intermittent work-related nervous strain. Furthermore, 7.7% of the respondents identified persistent physical hazards at their workplace, while 23.1% experienced occupational harm. Among male partners, 3.8% always and 23.1% occasionally had contact with harmful vapours or chemicals at work. Epigenetic risk factors were determined using a clinical genealogical map. Occupational harm was absent before and after COVID-19 infection in 19.2% and 15.4% of women, respectively. Regarding harmful habits, 26.9% and 23.1% of women did not engage in tobacco smoking before and after COVID-19 infection, respectively, whereas 3.8% and 7.7% consumed alcohol. Past illnesses, such as rubella and Botkin's disease, were identified as potential epigenetic factors in 3.8% of women. Conclusions. It has been established that among the identified epigenetic risk factors that may directly or indirectly affect the spread of coronavirus infection in women residents of the Kharkiv region, the following require special attention of the doctor: contact with physical and chemical agents, past diseases and conditions, and bad habits, which may be important for the spread of the disease in women. It has been found that among the epigenetic factors of COVID-19, past illnesses and conditions are important - rubella was experienced by 3.8% of women before COVID-19, Botkin’s disease - 3.8%, and 3.8% of women before and after the disease.

Materials and methods. The biochemical parameters of oral fluid before and after treatment were studied in 114 adolescents and young adults (15 to 24 years old), who were divided into groups: the Group I included 26 people who smoked traditional cigarettes; the Group II - 22 people who smoked electronic cigarettes (vapes); the Group III - 23 people who smoked tobacco heating devices (IQOS); the Group IV - 43 people without a smoking habit. The following biochemical parameters were studied: the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes, dyne conjugates and products that react to thiobarbituric acid, before and after treatment with the proposed complex: general - Quertin, Supervit and BioGaya ProDentis; topical - Stomolik and Holisal and conventional treatment. Results. In the Group I patients, the activity of superoxide dismutase in the oral fluid decreased by 1.4 times compared to the Group IV patients (p<0.05); in the Group II and III patients - by 1.2 times compared to non-smokers (p<0.05). In the Group I, the activity of the catalase enzyme decreased significantly (2.6 times) compared to the Group IV (p<0.05); in the Group II and III - by 1.8 times compared to non-smokers (p<0.05). The analysis of the data showed that in the Group I, the number of products reacting to thiobarbituric acid increased 2.5 times compared to the Group IV (p<0.05); in the Groups II and III - 1.9 times compared to the Group IV (p<0.05). The amount of diene conjugates in the oral fluid increased in both the Group I and Groups II and III patients, respectively, by 1.4 and 1.2 times compared with the Group IV patients (p<0.05). After treatment, there was an increase in antioxidant defense and inhibition of lipid peroxidation in oral fluid, with better results in the subgroups in which the proposed complex treatment was used, as well as in adolescents and young adults without smoking habits.

The need to develop practical recommendations for improving the quality of sleep in children during wartime necessitated a comparative study of the frequency and structure of sleep disorders in children during wartime and peacetime. Purpose - to determine the frequency and structure of nighttime sleep disorders in children with neurodevelopmental disorders and healthy children in wartime and peacetime. Materials and methods. An online survey of parents of 529 children aged 1-7 years (26.8% of healthy children and 73.2% of children with neurodevelopmental disorders) was conducted in 2022 during wartime. A survey of parents of 1352 children under the age of 7 was conducted in 2002 in peacetime (as part of the Family and Children of Ukraine project), with a case-control comparison. Results. The overall prevalence of nighttime sleep disorders among all children in wartime was 93.6% in healthy children and 94.8% in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Difficulties falling asleep were noted in 51.4% of healthy children and 56.8% of children with neurodevelopmental disorders; frequent nighttime awakenings - in 35.9% and 39.0% of children, respectively. Sleep disorders: snoring - in 16.2% and 18.9% of children; apnoea - in 9.9% and 14.9% of children.

Autoimmune pathogenesis determines the danger of hemorrhagic complications both for the pregnant and for the fetus and newborn. Differential diagnosis between gestational and immune thrombocytopenia is necessary, as this determines further tactics. The goal of ITP treatment is to achieve a safe level of platelets according to the gestational age and clinical situation. For treatment, different lines of therapy are used alternately with step-by-step control of effectiveness. Purpose - to analyze the worldwide and personal experience of pregnancy management in severe ITP refractory to treatment. We present a case of pregnancy management and delivery with a severe immune thrombocytopenia, diagnosed at 25 weeks of pregnancy with hemorrhagic syndrome, unresponsive to treatment. All pharmacological tools were used. Delivery by caesarean section with appropriate preoperative and intraoperative transfusion preparation. Recombinant human thrombopoietin was used in the postoperative period. The newborn has thrombocytopenia without hemorrhagic syndrome. Conclusions. Correct diagnosis of conditions accompanied by thrombocytopenia during pregnancy determines the correct and effective treatment tactics. Pregnancy and childbirth in women with severe thrombocytopenia belong to the group of extremely high risk. Antenatal management and delivery of such pregnant women should be carried out by a multidisciplinary team with the participation of a hematologist, a specialist in internal medicine, under careful control of laboratory indicators and clinical changes, with control of the fetal antenatal condition.

Purpose - to identify factors associated with the absence or early cessation of BF, to evaluate the short-term consequences of the absence of BF in preterm infants and to identify the relationship between feeding practices (BF vs formula feeding - FF) and adherence to preventive measures recommended for preterm children, related with food. Materials and methods. An anonymous online survey of parents (self-reported) of preterm infants was conducted using the Google Forms service. The study involved 390 children divided into two groups. The main group (MG) included 290 children who were on mechanical ventilation, and the control group (CG) included 70 children on BF. Results. Early termination of BF of a preterm baby or start from FF is associated with the following factors: maternal age under 18 or older than 38 years old (OR=3.47; 95% CI: 0.84-2.40), male gender of the child (OR=2.43; 95% CI: 1.41-4.18), birth from a multiple pregnancy (OR=1.94; 95% CI: 1.01-3.73), prolonged (more than 7 days) mechanical lung ventilation (OR=2.52; 95% CI: 1.36-4.66) and prolonged (more than 14 days) tube feeding of the child (OR=1.96; 95% CI: 1.14-3.36). Children of MG aged 6 months of adjusted age were significantly more likely to have delayed psychomotor development. Conclusions. When counseling parents on the nutrition of a child born pretermin the first year of life, it should be taken into account that in the absence of BF, parents start introducing the first complementary foods to the child later (р<0.001), including those rich in iron (р=0.01), and parents of a BF child more often neglect the recommendations for adding iron and vitamin D (OR=2.09 vs OR=1.92). The lack of BF of preterm babies for at least the first 6 months of life is associated with an increased risk of developing atopic dermatitis and acute respiratory diseases in the first year of life (OR=2.14 and OR=2.24, respectively). The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution.
