A feature of acute pancreatitis is the high risk of developing complications (occurring in 50% of patients), the mortality rate of which reaches 15%, and with a severe course varies within 40-70%. It has been proven that timely determination of the severity of the disease, selection of appropriate treatment tactics, early diagnosis of complications and their prevention significantly improve treatment results. \u0000Aim: to develop a modern mathematical model for predicting the severity of the course of acute pancreatitis, taking into account indicators of calcium-phosphorus metabolism, hemocoagulation factors and serological examination data for Helicobacter pylori. \u0000Materials and methods. The study was based on the results of an examination of 280 patients with acute pancreatitis, who were divided into two groups: the main group (n=187) – patients with a severe course and a comparison group (n=93) – patients with a mild and moderate course of the disease. To develop a mathematical model, the following indicators were analyzed and compared: duration of the disease before hospitalization, body mass index, number of leukocytes, C-reactive protein, blood glucose, procalcitonin, interleukin-6, immunoglobulin M to Helicobacter pylori, thrombin-antithrombin III complex, activity of tissue plasminogen activator, serum calcium, albumin corrected calcium, vitamin D. \u0000Results. Based on the obtained results, we developed a mathematical model for predicting the severity of the course of acute pancreatitis and revealed a correlation between the calculated scores (according to the mathematical model) and the APACHE II scale (severe course of 8 points and more). The step-by-step creation of a model by the method of multiple regression analysis with a gradual decrease in the number of indicators from 12 to 8 and to 6 allowed us to propose a mathematical model that has high accuracy for predicting the severe course of acute pancreatitis (R=0.82; R2=0.66; p< 0.0001). The obtained data demonstrate the dependence of the \"severe course\" factor on the content of vitamin D, immunoglobulin M to Helicobacter pylori and the activity of tissue plasminogen activator and substantiate the need for their early determination in patients with acute pancreatitis. Therefore, the developed mathematical model is highly informative and can be used in medical practice for early prediction of the severe course of acute pancreatitis. \u0000Conclusions. The dependence of the «severe course» factor in patients with acute pancreatitis on the content of vitamin D, immunoglobulin M to Helicobacter pylori and the activity of tissue plasminogen activator has been proven, and the need for their determination in the early period of the disease is substantiated. Using the method of multiple regression analysis, a mathematical model was developed that has high accuracy for predicting the severe course of acute pancreatitis (R=0.82; R2=0.66; p<0.0001).","PeriodicalId":52737,"journal":{"name":"Medichna nauka Ukrayini","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46926672","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}

A survey was conducted among anesthesiologists in 38 Ukrainian hospitals to evaluate the current incidence and treatment quality of the local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST). With the growing preference for regional anesthetic techniques, implementation of measures for timely detection and treatment of LAST is becoming a priority for many surgical hospitals. This study aims to provide primary country-wide epidemiological data to guide further safety improvement in Ukraine. \u0000It should be noted, that the survey was performed before the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The resulting surge in the incidence of limb injury has resulted in an unprecedented scale of application of regional anesthesia, including out-of-hospital cases with very limited monitoring, which will no doubt generate great amount of new data on the subject. We hope that our current analysis may be used as a reference point for the future research on this subject. \u0000Material and methods.  A link to the survey was distributed via e-mail to the members of the Association of Anesthesiologists of Ukraine. Data submission was anonymous. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel. Descriptive statistics are provided. \u0000Results. Responses were submitted by 186 anesthesiologists from 38 Ukrainian cities. Among them, 65.9% practice in public hospitals, 25.4% - in private hospitals, 8.7% - in university hospitals. Majority of respondents (60.3%) reported performing over 100 regional anesthetic procedures per year. Peripheral nerve blocks were routinely performed in the hospitals of 76.9% of respondents. 42.4% are using peripheral nerve blocks or more times per week, 24.4% perform this amount monthly, 21.7% - yearly, with 11.5% not utilizing peripheral nerve blocks at all. \u0000Ultrasound guidance was commonly used by 64.1% of anesthesiologists, 60.3% reported relying on landmark techniques often and 38.5% are routinely using a neuromuscular electrical stimulator. \u0000LAST cases were previously encountered by 37.2% of respondents. However, only 37% have reported having a LAST protocol in their hospital and 42.3% did not have a lipid emulsion available. Regarding patient education, in 62.8% of cases the patients were specifically warned about the possible complications of regional anesthesia prior to procedures, where it was performed. When the local anesthetic related adverse events did occur, they were recorded in the patient’s card in 27.2% of cases; the chief of anesthesiology department was informed in 36.9%, while in 35.9% the event was not reported in any way. \u0000Conclusions.

Acute disorders of cerebral blood circulation are one of the most important medical and social problems, due to their high share in the structure of morbidity and mortality of the population, significant indicators of temporary loss of working capacity and primary disability. At the same time, the World Health Organization estimates that by 2021, 615 million people (about 10% of the world's population) will have symptoms of depressive or anxiety disorders. Therefore, the study of the pathogenetic links of comorbidity of anxiety-depressive disorders against the background of ischemic stroke is relevant. \u0000Aim: to study changes in antioxidant protection and lipid peroxidation under conditions of experimental ischemic stroke comorbid with anxiety-depressive disorders. \u0000Materials and methods. Experimental studies were conducted on 30 non-linear laboratory rats, which were divided into 3 groups: 1 group – intact control, 2 group – animals of the group with simulated ischemic stroke; Group 3 – rats with simulated ischemic stroke and anxiety-depressive disorders. Reproduction of ischemic stroke in rats was carried out using the model of endovascular occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (focal ischemia) according to E. Z. Longa. A model of reserpine-induced depression in rats was chosen for an in-depth study of the pathophysiological links of anxiety-depressive disorders. \u0000To assess the state of lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant defense system, the level of malondialdehyde, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and reduced glutathione in brain tissue homogenate and circulating blood was studied. \u0000Results. A sharp depletion of the body's protective reactions was established in rats with both ischemic stroke and under conditions of comorbid pathology, which was confirmed by a probable decrease in the level of catalase, superoxide dismutase and an increased level of malondialdehyde. In particular, the level of catalase and superoxide dismutase decreased in the brain tissue homogenate of rats with comorbid pathology; the level of malondialdehyde increased. At the circulating level, there was a 40-fold increase in the level of catalase (p<0.05) compared to intact animals, which indicated a compensatory reaction of the body to the activation of free-radical oxidation, since this enzyme neutralizes hydrogen peroxide. \u0000Conclusions. The obtained data indicate a more severe course of ischemic stroke against the background of anxiety-depressive disorders and the involvement of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the development mechanism, as well as a violation of the balance between the processes of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection.","PeriodicalId":52737,"journal":{"name":"Medichna nauka Ukrayini","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46242177","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 study was conducted from November 2019 to January 2023 at the Pediatric Otolaryngology Department of the Emilian Cotaga Republican Children's Clinical Hospital in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. The study population included 205 patients who underwent surgery and were under observation in the hospital. Radiofrequency ablation was the method used in 73 patients, 68 patients were treated with microdebrider turbinoplasty, and the remaining 64 patients were treated with electrocautery. After surgery, postoperative complications were assessed and quantified. \u0000Results. A total of 205 patients were operated on. The first group (n=73) underwent radiofrequency ablation and had a complication rate of 30.1%. Out of 73 patients, 51 recovered without complications. The remaining 22 had complications, including 16 patients with bleeding and 6 with postnasal drip. The second group (n=68) was treated by the microdebrider method. The complication rate was 26.5%, with 50 patients having no postoperative symptoms and 18 having symptoms. In particular, postnasal drip was more common with this method, as all 18 patients experienced postnasal drip as a complication. The third group (n=64) received electrocautery. Patients in this group had the most complications (n=24), with 16 associated with postnasal drip and eight with infections that were treated promptly with oral antibiotics. The frequency of complications with this method was 37.5%. \u0000Conclusion. In our study, microdebrider turbinoplasty provided the lowest complication rate, followed by radiofrequency ablation and electrocautery.

The approaches to the criteria for assigning a treated case/interaction to the \"Oncology\" package and the principles of their payment introduced in the National Health Service of Ukraine need to be optimized in order to prevent the risks of introducing inadequate rates, namely: not providing services for the amount specified in the rate and double/triple funding. \u0000Aim: to investigate and identify the main defects and gaps in the existing U-Grouper rules regarding the assignment of a treated case/interaction to a package in the field of \"Oncology\" and to develop recommendations for improving the existing U-Grouper rules in this field based on the findings. \u0000Materials and methods. A single descriptive-analytical study of the analysis of medical services provided in the oncology package 17 \"Chemotherapy treatment and maintenance of adults and children with oncological diseases in outpatient and inpatient settings\" for the first 8 months of 2022 in Ukraine was performed. Statistical methods, structural-logical analysis and systematic approach were used. \u0000Results. The study found certain gaps in the coding of diagnoses under the diagnostically related group \"R63 Chemotherapy\", one of which is the incorrect coding of the main diagnosis during chemotherapy treatment, as only 20% of all Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) had the main diagnosis coded according to the Australian coding system (code Z51.1). Incorrect coding of oncological diseases was also detected, which may contribute to an increase in the payment of the case. Thus, in just 8 months of 2022, 19,368 interactions were registered, of which 35.7% (6,923) were without additional diagnoses, i.e., payment was made for such EMRs without clear criteria for the presence of a malignant neoplasm, which contradicts the requirements of the 17th package. \u0000Conclusions. Based on the findings, it is proposed to make changes to the Medical Guarantees Program in the field of \"Oncology\" and to introduce automatic medical monitoring of EMRs, in which the main diagnosis of certain categories of classes C and D is coded, which will allow to bring the medical services provided to patients with oncohematological diseases into compliance with the rate.","PeriodicalId":52737,"journal":{"name":"Medichna nauka Ukrayini","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48401127","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}
