Purpose - to improve the quality of life of children in wartime conditions by early recognition of symptoms of the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder and increasing the awareness of primary care physicians about this condition and coordination of medical and psychological care. Materials and methods. Practical guidelines on the early recognition of symptoms of the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder in children are presented in the national Adapted clinical guideline based on evidence (2016), Unified clinical protocol (primary, secondary (specialized) and tertiary highly specialized medical care) (2019), as well as the guidelines of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Improvement of Great Britain (NICE, 2018) and information from PubMed databases, UpTo Date. For determining these recommendations the new version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) was taken into account. Results. An analysis of clinical guidelines and scientific literature related to the study of post-traumatic stress disorder in children, in particular, its early recognition by primary care physicians, was carried out. The question of the peculiarities of the clinical course of psychotraumatic disorders depending on the time of their appearance after a traumatic event and the age of children is highlighted. In the context of the time that has passed since the traumatic event and the age of the children, a screening program for the early recognition of symptoms of the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder, which require immediate response by primary care workers, is presented. Special attention was paid to children from war zones, geographically remote regions, displaced persons, refugees. Conclusions. Early conducting of a short screening assessment of the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder in children, a timely decision on the provision of medical and psychological assistance, will contribute to the improvement of their quality of life in wartime conditions.

Pulmonary complications are common in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The assessment of phospholipids (PL) in the exhaled breath condensate can provide more information about pathological processes in the lungs in children with ALL. Purpose - to assess the level of PL in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in children with ALL and its prognostic value. Materials and methods. 40 children with ALL aged 6-17 years were examined. 1st group included newly diagnosed children with ALL (n=18). 2nd group involved ALL survivors, who had completed the total course of chemotherapy (n=22). The control (С) group consisted of 15 healthy children. The levels of PL in the EBC were investigated by spectrophotometric thin-layer chromatography using an SPh 46 spectrophotometer. Results. The frequency of pulmonary complication was 82.5% during chemotherapy protocols and 18.4% in ALL survivals. The statistically significant increase in the level of phospholipids in 1st (150.75 (137.62; 158.45) mmol/l) and 2nd (130.12 (120.59; 138.34) mmol/l) ALL groups compared with the group C (54.80 (48.30; 60.80) mmol/l) has been detected (p1-C=0.0000; p2-C=0.0000). Children of the 1st group had significantly higher levels of PL in the EBC than children of the 2nd group (p1-2=0.002911). PL level in EBC collected during induction phase of chemotherapy >132.15 mmol/l can be prognostic for the development of acute pulmonary complications (Sensitivity 93.75%; Specificity 100%). PL level in EBC collected after a complete course of chemotherapy >133.28 mmol/l can be predictive for persistent pulmonary complications (Sensitivity 100.00%; Specificity 83.33%). Conclusions. PL level in EBC can be prognostic for the development of pulmonary complications, both during chemotherapy and in long-term remission after completed chemotherapy course.

The pathogenesis of the development of the post-covid state has not yet been fully studied and includes various links, including a violation of the constancy of the levels of various macroelements in biological tissues and blood. Since the leading role in ensuring the proper functioning of energy and synthetic processes in the body belongs to magnesium, it is assumed that the development of post-covid state may be associated with hypomagnesemia. Purpose - to evaluate the level of magnesium in the blood serum of children who have suffered from COVID-19, to analyze their state of health, level of tolerance to physical exertion, and quality of life; to optimize approaches to the correction of detected violations, by prescribing a magnesium-potassium complex, and to evaluate its effectiveness. Materials and methods. 75 children aged 6 to 18 took part in the study. Among them, 60 children with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 in the anamnesis and a period after COVID-19 more than 12 weeks and 15 somatically healthy children of the same age did not suffer from COVID-19 (control group). Children with COVID-19 were divided into a main group (35 children who had reduced serum magnesium levels) and a control group (25 children with normal magnesium levels). The research was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the health status of children who suffered from COVID-19 was analyzed. The second stage of the study involved the appointment of PANCICOR magnesium-potassium complex to children of the main group and the evaluation of the effectiveness of its use on the 60th day of treatment. General clinical (analysis of anamnesis data, Rufier test results, questionnaire), laboratory (determination of magnesium level in blood serum), instrumental (cycle ergometry), and statistical research methods were used. Results. Magnesium deficiency is a common disorder of macronutrient homeostasis in children who have experienced COVID-19. Post- covid syndrome was detected in 28.3% of children. At the same time, the proportion of post-covid state detection was higher in the group of children with magnesium deficiency compared to the group of children with normal serum magnesium levels. The level of tolerance to physical exertion and indicators of quality of life in children who suffered from COVID-19 are significantly lower (p<0.05) compared to children in the control group who did not suffer from COVID-19. The analysis of the parameters of the health status of children on the 60th day of taking the magnesium-potassium complex PANCICOR showed a positive effect of the drug on the characteristics of the state of health that were studied.

Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 61 patients with ROС at АRS in children who were treated in the otorhinolaryngology department of the City Children’s Hospital No. 1 in Kyiv from 2016 to 2020 was conducted. The diagnosis was established on the basis of the anamnesis, general clinical examination, endoscopic examination and radiological methods of diagnosis (X-rays or CT of paranasal sinuses). All patients received complex treatment with a parenteral antibiotic and were examined by related specialists: an ophthalmologist, a pediatrician, a neurologist or a neurosurgeon as needed. Results. The average age of the patients was 5 years and 2 months. There were 34 (55.7%) boys, 27 (44.3%) girls. In 38 (62.3%) sick children, reactive swelling of the eyelids of the right eye was diagnosed, in 22 (36.1%) reactive swelling of the eyelids of the left eye, in one (1.6%) case, periostitis of the right orbit was diagnosed. All patients with ROС on the background of АRS received parenteral antibacterial therapy with one or two drugs, among which ceftriaxone was prescribed in 98.3%, metrogyl in 41%, macrolide in 21.3%, and amoxicillin in 1.6% of cases. 3 (5%) patients underwent surgical treatment - puncture and drainage of the maxillary sinus, 2 (3.7%) sick children underwent frontotomy with sinus drainage. Complex conservative treatment without surgical intervention was effective in 56 (91.3%) patients. The average length of hospital stay was 7.7 days. Conclusions. In children with АRS, ROС occurs most often at the age of 3 to 7 years (49.2%) and manifests itself in the form of reactive swelling of the eyelids of the right eye in 62.3% and in 36.3% of the left eye.

Materials and methods. The sample consisted of 43 boys aged 7 to 15 years with a history of perinatal hemorrhagic and hypoxic-ischemic cerebrovascular injuries, which later provoked various forms of non-psychotic deviant behavior. To check the results, a control group consisting of 43 mentally and physically healthy children and adolescents was selected. The main group, which showed persistent deviant behavior, was prescribed a drug whose active substance is dalargin, a peptide compound whose structure includes 6 amino acid residues. Clinical-amnestic, clinical-psychopathological, neurosonography was used to diagnose perinatal cerebrovascular injuries in newborns (in history) with subsequent use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods, statistical data processing was carried out using «SPSS 16.0» and «Excel» programs from the «Microsoft Office 2003» package. Results. The study of T- and so-called T-active lymphocytes of the peripheral blood showed that before treatment, a significant decrease in the content of these cells was observed in children (to 4.26±0.80% and 22.42±0.69% against 65.81±1.66% 44.42±1.25% in the control group, p>0.05). Proliferative activity changes significantly in response to T- and B-mitogens. Proliferative activity recovered completely (25.56±3.26% and 59.72±2.19% vs. 57.23±1.51% in the control group). Conclusions. Children and adolescents with pronounced deviant behavior of residual organic genesis, resistant to traditional therapy, are characterized by significant changes in the immune status caused by dysimmunoglobulinemia, imbalance of the lymphocyte subpopulation, suppression of the functional activity of these populations on mitogens, which indicates secondary immunodeficiency.

Purpose - to assess the levels of stress hormones cortisol, insulin (IRI), prolactin, and the cortisol/insulin (K/In) index in adolescent girls with menstrual disorders. Materials and methods. 177 adolescent girls aged 12–17 years with menstrual disorders were examined (87 with abnormal uterine bleeding (АUB), 90 - with oligomenorrhea (OM)). The comparison group consisted of 57 girls of the same age with normal menstrual cycles examined in the early follicular phase. The level of cortisol, insulin, prolactin (PRL) was measured in blood serum on an empty stomach using the immunoenzyme method to determine the level of organism’s adaptive capabilities. All hormones were defined according to the instructions for the kits. The ratio of K/In was calculated. Results. In girls with menstrual disorders, three types of reaction from the adrenal glands were found, which were expressed in increased levels of cortisol above 75 and 90 percentile, a decrease (below 10 percentile) and its fluctuations within physiological values. At cortisol values above the 90 percentile, the average level of glucose, IRI, and HOMA in teenage girls with OM did not differ from the normative values, and in patients with AUB these indicators were significantly higher than in adolescents with OM. The K/In ratio in girls with OM by 1.8 times exceeded the similar indicator of adolescents with AUB (p<0.04) and was slightly higher than in the comparison group, which indicates a satisfactory reaction of stress tolerance. With AUB, this coefficient decreased, which may indicate exhaustion of the body’s adaptive capabilities. The same situation was observed when cortisol increased above the 75 percentile. When the cortisol level was within physiological values, the content of glucose and IRI also did not go beyond the limits of normative fluctuations. The stress ratio (K/In) had no significant difference depending on the type of violations and was significantly reduced. The absence of changes in the content of cortisol and IRI in the blood serum in response to the onset of menstrual disorders may indicate a certain instability in the development of the body's protective reactions in teenage girls with menstrual disorders. Conclusions. The revealed changes in the content of cortisol, insulin, K/In and PRL as markers of a non-specific stress reaction in the structure of the adaptive response in disorders of menstrual function carry additional information about impaired adaptation to stress and the state of compensatory capabilities of the girl's body, expand the understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms these disorders and can be used both in the assessment of the state of adaptation and in the development of appropriate preventive strategies.

However, the clinical features and functional state of the pancreas in adolescents with reflux disease remain not fully understood. Purpose - to investigate the main parameters of quality of life, clinical features, and functional state of the pancreas in adolescents with GERD. Materials and methods. We examined 100 inpatients aged 13-17 years who were hospitalised in the period between 2016 and 2022. The diagnosis was verified according to modern protocols of diagnosis and treatment, and the results were statistically processed using the Statistica for Microsoft 7.0 software package. Results. Of the children we examined, 80.0% had endoscopically positive (non-erosive form) GERD, with 50.0% having concomitant functional pancreatic disorders. The most significant changes in blood amylase were noted in patients with comorbidity (120.5±0.1 g/(hr×L) and 33±0.3 g/(hr×L), p<0.05) and in patients with the erosive form of GERD (98.1±0.2 g/(hr×L) and 25±0.1 g/(hr×L), p<0.05).
