One of the human systems, which is particularly acutely affected by external environmental factors is the respiratory system. These disorders in adolescence are especially noticeable when intense and dramatic changes in the child's body on the path  to biological maturity occur. \u0000Goal. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the functional indexes of the external respiration of adolescents of different medical groups of physical training. \u0000Materials and methods. The functionality of the respiratory system was evaluated by the results of pneumothography and respiratory retention. They were evaluated using mathematical statistics using the Medstat program (Yu.E.E., 2006). 76 middle school age pupils (38 boys and 38 girls) were surveyed, which belong to the preparatory group of physical training and 40 peers (20 boys and 20 girls) who attend the main physical education group. For comparison,  normal indexes were used according to computer conclusions and scientific literature data \u0000Results. The normal performance of the VC according to the results of computer conclusions, registered in 42 % of pupils of the preparatory group of physical education, higher than the norm have 21 % of adolescents, 36 % of adolescents have significant violations of this index. According to the computer's conclusion, 52% of the subjects are characterized by extremely significant changes of FVC. A similar pattern is also noted for the index in the boys of this group. According to the results of computer findings 69% of pupils of the preparatory group  have normal indexes of PEF, 21% have a higher then norm, 10% a slight decrease. The results of the functional test of Shtanger (delay in inhalation) showed  that in the preparatory group this index is lower than the norm \u0000Volumetric indicators of the external respiration of pupils of the preparatory group in more than half of adolescents are significant changes. The volumetric indexes of such adolescents are significantly lower than the norm, by almost 1 liter. The rates of the respiratory system of the MEF 25, 50, 75% are lower than the norm by 1.5 - 2 times, and PEF does not differ from the norm. \u0000Conclusions. Indexes of external respiration in more than half of the examined pupils of the preparatory group were changed. The volumetric and flow rates of the respiratory system were significantly lower than the norm. A similar trend was followed by functional respiratory tests.","PeriodicalId":52737,"journal":{"name":"Medichna nauka Ukrayini","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41560312","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 effectiveness of the use of therapeutic tactics for pain relief at the stages of treatment is important considering the fact that chronic pain is diagnosed in 83.3% of patients with mine-explosive wounds, and in 70% of cases with gunshot wounds. In civilian life, among injured patients, this diagnosis occurs in 11-40% of cases. There is not enough data on the reasons for such a high frequency of chronicity. Thus, the study of the effectiveness of treatment tactics for pain relief in patients with gunshot and mine-explosive wounds at the stages of treatment will play an important role and contribute to improving the results of treatment of this category of patients. \u0000Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of therapeutic tactics of analgesia in patients with gunshot and mine-explosive wounds at the stages of treatment. \u0000Materials and methods. The treatment of 1166 patients with injuries was analyzed. Pain intensity was diagnosed using a visual analog scale. Group comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney test and the chi-square test with allowance for continuity correction, Kruskal-Wallis, and post hoc comparisons were performed using Dunn's test. \u0000Results. In patients with gunshot wounds, during the analysis, it was found that VAS data significantly depend on the type of anesthesia. Using regional anesthesia, VAS data are the lowest at all measurement points (p<0.05). In patients who received landmine-explosive injuries, VAS data are weakly dependent on the choice of anesthetic support, however, this indicator still has higher values (p<0.05) when using general anesthesia. Two-factor analysis showed a relationship between the dynamics of VAS data and the type of injury (p<0.001), type of anesthesia (p<0.001). \u0000Conclusion. Admission of a patient with a wound to a medical center with subsequent analgesia using regional anesthesia methods has the best outcome in terms of pain management and pain control in such patients.","PeriodicalId":52737,"journal":{"name":"Medichna nauka Ukrayini","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47884217","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}

Peritonitis today continues to be one of the most difficult problems of both abdominal surgery and theoretical pathophysiology. One of the leading pathogenetic mechanisms of peritonitis is disorders in the hemostasis system and the development of dissemination vascular syndrome. Blockade of microcirculation caused by the development of dissemination vascular syndrome leads to tissue hypoxia and, as a result, to dysfunction of organs and body systems. \u0000Aim: is to study changes in vascular-platelet and coagulation hemostasis under conditions of experimental fecal peritonitis in rats. \u0000Materials and methods. Experimental studies were conducted on 24 non-linear laboratory rats, which were divided into 2 groups: 1 group – intact control (animals received distilled water), 2 group – animals of the control pathology group. According to the \"Methodological recommendations for preclinical study of medicinal products\", experimental peritonitis was studied on the model of V. A. Lazarenko. Indicators of vascular-platelet and coagulation hemostasis were determined according to generally accepted methods. \u0000Results. On the first day of experimental peritonitis, a sharp increase in the rate of blood clotting and changes in the quality properties of platelets were noted, affecting their aggregation ability and retraction of an already formed blood clot. On the 4th day of the experiment, changes in the vascular-platelet link were established, indicating the exhaustion of the platelet potential, due to a decrease in blood clotting time, platelet aggregation ability, and blood clot retraction against the background of a probable increase in the number of blood platelets, which probably by now had time \"get\" to the bloodstream from the depot. Changes in the coagulation hemostasis system against the background of experimental fecal peritonitis indicate the development of hypercoagulation already on the first day, which is replaced by a hypocoagulation state, which indicates the exhaustion of the enzymatic systems of blood coagulation potential (as early as on the 4th day), which lasted until the end of the experiment. \u0000Conclusion.

Pulmonary function test (PFT) is an important assessment for lung function. The most commonly used method for PFT is Spirometry. It involves the use of a spirometer to measure lung volumes and capacities.  Different diseases cause different patterns of abnormalities in a battery of pulmonary function tests. An earlier study suggested that reductions in maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) occur reasonably among patients of obstructive and restrictive lung diseases.   \u0000Objective of this study was to assess the correlation between the parameters of pulmonary function and cardio-respiratory fitness with the amount of physical activity. \u0000Material and Methods. This pilot study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, RUHS College of Medical Sciences, in a group of 100 apparently healthy subjects (students) of 18-25 years age group of either sex. Anthropometric parameters (height, weight and BMI), pulmonary function test (PFT), GPAQ, body fat percentage and VO2 max were assessed in standard laboratory settings. \u0000Results. The mean±SD for Age, Height, Weight, GPAQ score, FEV1, PEFR, MVV, FEF25-75% and VO2 max was found to be higher in male participants as compared to female participants while BMI and FVC were almost equal in both the genders but Body Fat % and FEV1/FVC were higher in female participants. Correlation of VO2 max with FVC, FEV1. PEFR, MVV and FEF25-75% is moderately positive while correlation of VO2 max with FEV1/FVC is poorly negative in male subjects. In female subjects correlation of VO2 max with FVC, FEV1. PEFR and MVV is poorly positive while with FEV1/FVC and FEF25-75% it is poorly negative. \u0000Conclusion. Present study concludes that maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) was positively correlated with pulmonary functions except FEV1/FVC ratio in male.

It is widely recognized that COVID-19 disease is significant problem for public health. The COVID-19 pandemic evolves, the long-term health impacts are continually increasing and children health is particular concern.  The duration of exposure, heterogeneity and plurality of biopsychosocial factors  have to unpredictable consequences on the mental health of vulnerable populations such as children and adolescents. \u0000Objective. Determination the significant factors affecting the mental health of schoolchildren during the pandemic in order to further develop the health-saving measures. \u0000Methods. During implementation of quarantine measures due to COVID-19 pandemic, we studied the peculiarities of schoolchildren’s life and mental health in 2020-2021 (n=1393) from all regions of Ukraine. Q-RAPH, GPAQ, RCADS-P-25 questionnaires were used. Prior to the pandemic, MH survey of 500 schoolchildren was conducted using “Children’s Neuroses Questionnaire” method. Descriptive statistics, Student's coefficients, univariate and multivariate analysis of variance, followed by a posteriori estimation of mean differences according to the Bonferroni test, conjugation tables, logistic and linear regression models were used. \u0000Results. Сonstant stay in an apartment during quarantine leads to an increase in the chances of anxiety-depressive disorders on average by 2.5 times. During the pandemic for the observation period, both duration and frequency of walks were significantly lower for the children with mental disorders. The likelihood of pathological increases in anxiety and depression in school age children without interactive learning is 1.8 times greater. Pairwise comparisons of adjusted means using the Bonferroni test demonstrated that the higher is the BMI - the shorter is the sleep (β=-1.9; p=0.004), the longer is the sedentary behavior duration (β=3.4; p=0.001) - the shorter is MVPA (β =-1,4; p=0,005). It was established that depressive disorders are 2.4 times more common among the children with chronic diseases than among the healthy children (χ2 =51.1; p<0.001). In the course of 3d linear modeling of normalized indicators we can see that a decrease in both light physical activity (LPA) and MVPA leads to deterioration in mental health indicators of the children. \u0000Conclusions.

In case of developed alcoholic disease, under conditions of alcoholic hypoglycemia, ketone bodies act as an energy substrate for the brain. However, the role of ketone hunger for maintaining the craving for alcohol has not been established. The assumption of such a connection has a right to exist, since it is alcohol that stimulates the formation of ketone bodies. Therefore, with developed alcoholism, the desire to consume alcohol (and, in fact, \"saturate\" the brain with ketone bodies) can be considered as a consequence of hypoketonemia. Accordingly, the hunger of the alcoholic is the result of hypoketonemia, but not hypoglycemia. Therefore, it is relevant to conduct a study in which the given variables (controlled by us) were the level of glycemia and the level of ketonemia, and the amount of alcohol consumed voluntarily (under conditions of free choice) was a derivative and dependent value. \u0000Objective: to study the relationship between craving for alcohol, and levels of glycemia and ketonemia in alcoholized rats. \u0000Materials and methods. Male white rats (n = 40) were forcibly alcoholized with 10% ethanol in 16 weeks. After that, for 30 days, they had a free choice of three types of drinking: clean water, 5% glucose, and 10% ethanol. The volume of consumed liquids was recorded. The criterion for the developed alcohol dependence was the preference of ethanol. At this stage, the animals were divided into 4 groups. Rats were injected per os with 0.8-1.5 ml of: 1.4% unitiol (3.5 mg / kg) to suppress ketonemia – group 1 (n = 10); 40% starch (1.0 g / kg) to eliminate hypoglycemia – group 2 (n = 10); 2.8% unitiol and 80% starch to suppress ketonemia and eliminate hypoglycemia – group 3 (n = 10); 0.9% NaCl as a control – group 4 (n = 10). Blood glucose (from the tail vein) and urine ketone bodies were monitored. The glucose level was determined with a glucometer. Test strips were used to detect ketone bodies in urine. The results were processed with MedStat software. To measure the strength of the correlation between the indicators, Spearman and Pearson tests were used. \u0000Results. No ketone bodies were found in the urine of healthy animals; however, after the end of forced alcoholization, varying levels of ketonuria were recorded in all rats: from 0.5 to 10 mmol / L (Spearman's rank correlation test was 0.8). Glycemia in healthy rats was 7.0 ± 1.4 mmol / L. After alcoholization, it decreased (p <0.001) to 3.0 ± 0.7 mmol / l. Ethanol consumption during first 10 days of forced alcoholization was 3.2 ± 0.7 ml per 100 g of animal weight; by the end of the third week - 4.9 ± 1.1 ml; by the end of the sixth week - 6.4 ± 1.4 ml (this was a climax of consumption, since consumption did not increase up to the 16th week). \u0000After a 30-day correction, the level of glycemia (mmol / L) was as follows: animals of the 1st group (unitiol) - 4.0 ± 0.8; animals of the 2nd group (enhanced carbohydrate diet) - 7.1 ± 1.2; animals of the 3rd group (unitiol + enhanced ","PeriodicalId":52737,"journal":{"name":"Medichna nauka Ukrayini","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45046796","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}
