Intervertebral disc herniations are a common condition that is often associated with painful sensations and restricted spinal mobility. Since this condition can significantly deteriorate a patient's quality of life, it is essential to seek effective and safe methods for its treatment. Therefore, evaluating the effectiveness and safety of treating patients with pain caused by intervertebral disc herniation, which includes performing surgical interventions for hernia removal using endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques, is a relevant task today. In this context, comparing endoscopic and minimally invasive surgical interventions becomes a pertinent topic for research, as it can help determine the optimal treatment method for each patient.
 The aim of the study is to compare endoscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures for intervertebral disc herniations in the lumbar spine.
 Materials and Methods. The study involved 100 patients diagnosed with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Of these, 50 patients underwent endoscopic surgery, while the remaining 50 underwent minimally invasive surgery. The effectiveness and safety of both methods were compared using several criteria, including the duration of surgery, blood loss, length of hospital stay, pain level, overall health status, the incidence of complications, and patient satisfaction with the procedure.
 Results. Compared to minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic surgery resulted in lower blood loss, shorter treatment duration, reduced pain levels, and fewer complications. All patients in both groups returned to normal activity according to their health status.
 Conclusions. Endoscopic surgery is more effective and safer compared to minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of herniated intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine. The endoscopic technique allows for better visualization and more precise manipulation in hernia removal, which positively affects treatment outcomes, reduces the risk of complications, shortens hospitalization, and leads to faster patient recovery. The results of this study can be valuable for physicians and patients when choosing the method of treatment for herniated intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine.","PeriodicalId":34164,"journal":{"name":"Klinichna ta profilaktichna meditsina","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082705","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 problem of finding the psychological resource of the athlete remains relevant. Success in sports largely depends on the athlete’s individual psychological characteristics. Many authors, based on research, conclude that the internal locus of control has a positive effect on performance in team and non-team sports. It seems to be an interesting scientific problem to study the gender aspect of this problem.
 The purpose of the study: to establish a relation between the locus of control and the characteristics of the response to the moving object of elite women handball players.
 Materials and Methods: Athletes of the Ukrainian National women handball team (21 players aged 17 to 28, experience in this sport from 5 to 19 years) took part in the research. To study the locus of athletes' control over significant events, the method for the research of the level of subjective control (LSC) by J. Rotter was used. Software and hardware complex “BOS-test-Professional” for psychological and psychophysiological diagnostics was used to determine the characteristics of the athlete’s response to the moving object.
 Results: A study of internality found that the majority of skilled handball players (61.9%) have a general internal type of locus of control. The vast majority of athletes tend to take responsibility in the field of productive (sports) relations (81%), areas of achievement (71.4%) and failures (52.4%). However, in areas such as family relationships, health and illness, most athletes share responsibility with the social environment and feel unable to control external circumstances. A correlation has been identified between the internality of locus of control and the ratio of nervous processes (inhibition and excitation) in elite women handball players. Higher stability of athletes' responses to a moving object is associated with a more pronounced internal locus of control, but only in the field of family relations. The obtained data indicate a more optimal functional state of the athlete’s central nervous system with internal locus of control.
 Conclusions: Family relationships and health & illness are the most sensitive areas for female athletes. This fact provides a basis for gender mainstreaming in psychological support activities.","PeriodicalId":34164,"journal":{"name":"Klinichna ta profilaktichna meditsina","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082557","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 control group (23 persons) underwent rehabilitation according to general polyclinic principles. The main group (26 persons) underwent rehabilitation using tools and principles of hand therapy (therapeutic exercises and functional training for the wrist and fingers, forearm, shoulder, all joints of the upper limb, exercises on the mechanotherapeutic table MAPS THERAPY; Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, massage of the upper limbs; kinesiological taping; orthotics) lasting 1 month.

In the injured persons with the consequences of a gunshot polystructural fracture of the bones of the forearm in the post-immobilization period, deterioration of the motility of the upper limb according to the Action Research Arm Test and dexterity according to the Nine-hole peg test, which are factors of disruption of the normal functioning of the upper limb, were determined. After the rehabilitation intervention, all examined persons showed an improvement in motility according to the Action Research Arm Test in the control group by 14.7%, in the main group by 35.4%, according to the Nine-hole peg test - by 61.8% and 22.3%, respectively.

In 1948, the World Health Organization defined health as not only the absence of disease but also the presence of physical, psychological and social well-being.

Mucociliary clearance is a vital defense mechanism in the human upper respiratory tract that safeguards the body against inhaled harmful substances.

All participants underwent a saccharin test and an assessment of the motor activity of the ciliated epithelium. Exclusion criteria included the presence of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract within the last month.&#x0D; Results: In the control group of patients, no significant difference was observed in the speed of saccharin test passage, both in the right and left parts of the nasal cavity, with test times ranging from 8.35 to 14.52 minutes. However, in the second clinical group comprising patients with nasal septum deviation, the average time for the saccharin test on the mucous membrane of the concave side of the nasal septum was significantly longer than on the convex side, measuring 21.52 ± 3.04 minutes and 12.36 ± 2.73 minutes, respectively (P = 0.02). When assessing the data from patients in the third clinical group based on the curvature side, a significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed in the reduction of saccharin test speed compared to the control group.&#x0D; Conclusions: The data obtained indicate a significant influence of nasal septum deviation on subsequent changes in nasal cavity physiology, resulting in a slowdown of mucociliary clearance.
