The prevalence of congenital anomalies in Ukraine is 23.7:1000 among live-born babies, and there is no significant decrease in it. The aim of this study was to compare clinical, ultrasound and cytogenetic data in swollen fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT) thicknesses from the group of pregnant women in the first trimester at high genetic risk to optimize the algorithm of prenatal diagnostics. Materials and Methods: Clinical examinations, ultrasound diagnostics, invasive methods of prenatal diagnostics (chorion biopsy, amniocentesis), genetic testing techniques, such as karyotyping and FISH, genetic counseling and statistical analysis were carried out. The results of complex examinations of 127 fetuses with an increased NT thickness from the group of pregnant women were analyzed. Fetuses were divided into two groups with an NT thickness of 2.5–3.5 mm (group 1) (38 cases) and with an NT above 3.5 mm (group 2)(89 cases). Results: Among pregnancies with fetuses with an increased NT thickness, there were 65.4% cases of adverse outcomes with chromosomal pathology (69.9%), congenital malformations of non-chromosomal etiology (25.3%) and pregnancy loss (4.8%). The frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses of group 1 was 55.3% and 41.6% in group 2. Congenital malformations of various systems and organs in fetuses, the most frequent of which were cardiac defects, were diagnosed. The ratio of congenital heart defects in the fetuses of groups 1 and 2 was 23.7% and 43.8%, respectively (p=0.03; OR=0.40). Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetuses of group 1 compared to group 2, which indicates a high informative value of an increased NT thickness, including the thickness of 2.5–3.5 mm in fetuses in the first trimester as a marker of chromosomal pathology. A significantly higher incidence of congenital malformations of non-chromosomal etiology was found in fetuses with venous duct pathology and NT thickness over 3.5 mm compared to fetuses with the same pathology and NT thickness of 2.5–3.5 mm. Proposed changes to the management algorithm for pregnant women with swollen fetuses include mandatory congenital heart defects screening in the first trimester.","PeriodicalId":345961,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the Shevchenko Scientific Society.

In modern societal conditions, the pathology of the affective sphere occupies a special place among general medical problems. One of the central phenomena, both in depression and in another common affective disorder – mania, is the issue of self-esteem. Aim. To study the presence of depressive disorders depending on the presence of the inferiority phenomenon. Methods of research. The study uses data from the survey of 612 university students of higher education institutions of III and IV accreditation in Lviv, conducted in October – November 2021. Among the respondents, 57.35% (n=351) were men and 42.65% (n=261) were women. The average age of respondents was 20.31±2.99. Respondents filled out questionnaires of the Comparative Feeling of Inferiority Index (CFII) to determine the presence or absence of phenomenon of inferiority (PhI) and Beck’s Depression Inventory – to determine the level of depression. Results. Most often, depression was found in the group of individuals with the index of PhI superiority, who had signs of an extreme desire to compensate for an excessive feeling of inferiority in any way. In particular, about a third (32.35% [21.83–43.86]) of those surveyed had depression, while in the group with no altered self-esteem, the value was 21.36% [17.88–25.05] (p=0.042). The highest median value of scores on the depression scale was also found in the group of individuals with the index of PhI superiority (10 [6; 15] points), p<0.001, compared to respondents with no altered self-esteem. A comparison by gender showed a significantly higher number of women with depression than men; 46.67% [29.40-64.35] of women with the index of PhI superiority had symptoms of depression. Median values of depression scores were also higher in women in all studied subgroups (p<0.05). Conclusions. Research and understanding the phenomenon of inferiority is important for its in-depth study in the context of association with other psychopathological human conditions, especially in the current environment.","PeriodicalId":345961,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the Shevchenko Scientific Society.

The aim of this work is to test the relationship between arterial stiffness, elasticity, gut microbiota and inflammation markers in the patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: Elastic properties of arteries were evaluated by non-invasive arteriography (Tensiomed, Hungary), and intestinal microbiota was studied with the determination of key representatives by routine culturing methodology using biochemical identification kits (LACHEMA, Czech Republic). The level of SIgA and cytokines were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data obtained for the clinical experimental group of patients were compared with the results obtained for the control group. Results: Obtained data demonstrated a strong correlation between intestinal colonization by Enterococcus faecalis and PPbr (r=0.98), AIbr (r=-0.99) and AIao (r=-0.99). Significant correlations were found for Escherichia coli (lac+) and PPbr indicators (r=-0.97), and for Klebsiella oxytoca and SBP (r=-0.95), the systolic area index of the volumetric curve (r=+0.99), and the index of the diastolic area of the volumetric curve (r=-0.99). Indexed areas of the volumetric curve were correlated with colonization of Streptococcus spp. (r=-0.9 and 0.9 for systolic and diastolic area, respectively). Blood pressure correlated with the consentration of Candida spp. (r=0.95). Conclusion: Detected bacteria (E. faecalis, K. oxytoca), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and intestine level of SIgA correlated with increased arterial stiffness and elasticity observed in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) might be used as a rationale for the prevention and individual treatment of ACS in the earlier stages of the disease.","PeriodicalId":345961,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the Shevchenko Scientific Society.

Moreover, there is a growing need for more objective tools to assess joint inflammation, especially for disorders such as axial spondyloarthritis where spinal symptoms are often non-specific and physical findings may be minimal until later stages of disease. The use of MRI to evaluate inflammation in the synovium and bone marrow as well as erosions in peripheral joints of patients with RA and PsA represents a major new advance that should now be routinely implemented in clinical trials of RA. MRI-based scoring systems have been well validated and demonstrate that, for RA, MRI changes after therapeutic intervention may be observed in a month and precede findings on radiography that only become evident after a year. The assessment of disease activity on MRI of the sacroiliac joints and spine using a standardized and well-validated method, such as the SPARCC instruments, is indispensable to the evaluation of efficacy for new agents aimed at the treatment of spondyloarthritis. Further advances include the use of whole-body MRI evaluation to assess inflammation in both the axial and peripheral skeleton as well as sequences that dispense with the requirement for the use of contrast agents, such as gadolinium, and data processing techniques that permit full automation and absolute quantification. This review will discuss how imaging is transforming clinical trials in rheumatic diseases.","PeriodicalId":345961,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the Shevchenko Scientific Society.

It is believed that vascular anatomy has a direct influence on the complexity and course of mechanical thrombectomy, and its outcome determines the degree of reperfusion and clinical effect. Aim. To analyze the influence of the curvature of the intracranial arteries and the composition of the thrombus on the results of thrombectomy. Materials and methods. 64 patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for acute proximal occlusion of the ICA or MCA were prospectively examined. (44man/20women among them, the age of the patients ranged from 47-89years (67.2±1.2). The study was performed by measuring the ICA-M1 angle on angiograms in direct projection. Angles were compared between patients with successful (mTICI group 2b/3) and unsuccessful (mTICI group 0-2a) reperfusion. The functional result was evaluated according to the mRS scale as positive (0-3) and negative (4-5). Removed thrombi were examined by light microscopy with hematoxylin-eosin and orange-red-blue staining. Results. Among patients of the mTICI 2b/3 group, a larger angle of the ICA-M1 was measured (126.4±2.8°) compared to patients in the mTICI 0-2a group - 107.1±4.9° (p=0.05). Among patients with 1-2 passages, statistically significantly larger ICA-M1 angles were recorded (129.8±3.3°) than among patients with a number of passages >2 (109.2±5,7°, p<0.02). The duration of mechanical thrombectomy was <60min among patients with larger angles of the ICA-M1 (127.6±4.4° vs. 119.6±4.5°) than in patients with long interventions (>60 min) (p<0.05). Successful reperfusion (group mTICI 2b/3) was achieved in 47 (73.4%) patients. A clinically positive result(mRS 0-3) was observed among 37(57.8%) patients. During microscopic examination of thrombi among patient groups mTICI 0/2a, fibrin threads with signs of aging with purple and blue color were present on the periphery (24-48hours). With a favorable outcome of the operation, the coagulated fibrin fibers were stained red (<16hours). Conclusions. With a smaller curvature of the ICA and its branches, and in the presence of \"fresh\" thrombi, the efficiency of operations increases, and the number of passages and the duration of mechanical thrombectomy decrease. The neurological status of patients at admission correlates with the functional outcome at the time of discharge.","PeriodicalId":345961,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the Shevchenko Scientific Society.

Other theories suggest that compromised coronary blood flow in late fetal life could be a cause of CCHB, as the AV-node artery is the first and longest inferior septal branch of the right (90%) or left (10%) coronary artery, arising from U- or V-shaped segment of the corresponding artery at the level of the crux cordis. In our case, the level of maternal auto-antibody titers was unknown.

The control group consisted of 12 people, who were representative in age and gender. Statistical processing of the results was performed using the STATISTICA 10.0 software. Results: Analysis of the dependence of neuroimaging changes on the frequency of genotypes of the C3953T polymorphic variant of the IL1β gene in patients with PIE showed a significant relationship between their frequency distribution and the presence/absence of gliosis phenomena (p=0.009). Thus, gliosis was detected in all carriers of the T/T genotype C3953T polymorphic variant of the IL1β gene. Analyzing the dependence of changes obtained during the transcranial Doppler ultrasound scanning of cerebral vessels on the polymorphic variant C3953T of the IL1β gene in patients with PIE, all carriers of the T/T genotype were diagnosed with angiospasm (p=0.038) and vertebrobasilar insufficiency (p=0.010).

The purpose of the article is to show the figure of Bohdan Yevhen Nadragа in the context of the history of medicine, scientific and professional interests, and reader preferences based on his own memories and the collective memory of him as a doctor. Bohdan-Yevhen Nadragа was born on March 24, 1922, in Lviv, in the family of lawyer Oleksandr Nadragа and one of the first Galician Ukrainian doctors, Theodosia Tuna-Nadragа. The father passed on a keen sense of moral and legal justice to his son, while the mother – an interest in medicine. His love of medicine and biology was facilitated by his matriculation at the Lviv Academic Gymnasium in the conditions of interwar Poland. After graduating from the gymnasium, B. Nadragа entered Lviv State Medical Institute, where he studied specialized medical courses organized by the German occupation authorities from 1941 to 1944 and graduated in 1945. Here, he entered postgraduate studies at the Department of Normal Physiology, but in October 1947, he was deported to Anzhero-Sudzhensk, Kemerovo Region (Siberia) with his family. There, he worked with his mother, first as a state farm worker and then as a district pediatrician. Only in 1959 was he able to return to Galicia, where he worked as a doctor and was the chief doctor (1966–1983) at Sambir City Children’s Hospital. In 1993, he returned to his native Lviv, where he began working in the methodological office of Lviv Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital (1993-2012). During 1993–1995, he served as the director of the Hospital named after Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi (“Narodna Lichnytsia”), became a member of the board of the restored UMA, joined the work of the medical commission of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, and was the author and editor of many publications of these societies. As the head of the Council of Medical Ethics at UMA, he became one of the authoritative participants in ethical discussions in the medical environment in 1990–2000; he was interested in the history of Lviv medicine and promoted the image of Lviv and Galicia. Respected by everyone as a model doctor and patriot, he passed away on September 28, 2018, at the age of almost 97. The activities of Bohdan Yevhen Nadragа are part of the history of Lviv and Galicia and Galician medicine, in particular pediatrics, to which he devoted his entire professional life.","PeriodicalId":345961,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of the Shevchenko Scientific Society.
