Тo analyze the features of treatment and medical expenses in children hospitalized for acute community-acquired pneumonia. Materials and methods. The study analyzed medical records and examined 51 children aged 2 to 17 months hospitalized for pneumonia. In patients studied clinical symptoms, severity, structure and duration of basic treatment measures, their cost. Results. The duration of inpatient treatment was 13.3±0.62 days with subsequent outpatient treatment and rehabilitation. Antibiotics, antipyretics, antihistamines, mucolytics and corticosteroid hormones were used in the treatment. The total cost of treatment for one case averaged 2346.9±145.7 hryvnias. The most expensive were the costs of antibiotics, and the cheapest - the antipyretics. Given the community-acquired nature of the process, the initial use of third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins was irrational and significantly increased the cost of treatment. Conclusions. The introduction of a new model of medicine focuses on the optimization of treatment tactics and the rational choice of antibiotics for acute community-acquired pneumonia. In antibacterial therapy is still inadequate, from a clinical and economic point of view, the choice of drugs. In the treatment of this disease, the role of pathogenetic therapy to restore the processes of mucociliary clearance and prevention of dysbiosis on the background of the use of antibiotics has increased.","PeriodicalId":9270,"journal":{"name":"Bukovinian Medical Herald","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80071061","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}

To study the effectiveness of the combined treatment of uterine leiomyoma (UL), taking into account the possibility of realizing reproductive function.Material and methods. The total number of women of reproductive age examined with a large UL (a dominant node more than 50 mm in diameter) was 94. At the first stage, all patients received preoperative preparation. At the first stage all patients received preoperative preparation. 35 patients with concomitant endometrial hyperplasia and/or with the presence of the progesterone receptor gene polymorphism PGR progins received aGn-RH in an average therapeutic dose once in 28 days, 3 injections. 59 patients with the reference genotype without endometrial pathology received mifepristone 50 mg daily for 3 months. After preoperative preparation, the patients underwent conservative myomectomy by laparotomy. Menstrual function, pelvic pain syndrome, size of leiomatous nodules, drug tolerance, frequency of pregnancy and recurrence were assessed. Statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel software. The main statistical indicators such as frequency, mean and standard deviation were taken into account. The results were considered significant at p < 0.05.Results. Excessive menstruation and AUB occurred in 81.9% of patients. Amenorrhea occurred in 79.8% of patients after 1 month of therapy and in all patients after 3 months. Recovery of menstruation was noted in 10.6% of patients a month after the operation, in 59.6% of patients after two months and on the third cycle menstruation resumed in all patients. The frequency of pain syndrome unrelated to the menstrual cycle decreased from 52.1% to 9.6%, dyspareunia from 12.8% to 4.3%, dysmenorrhea from 47.9% to 8.5%. According to ultrasound data, after 1 month in the group of women receiving aGn-RH the size of the nodules decreased by an average of 22.9%, and after mifepristone by 16.9%, and after 3 months by 51.4% and 45.8%. The uterine volume decreased by 28.6% and 30.5%. Starting from the second month of treatment, symptoms caused by estrogen deficiency were noted in 39.4% of patients treated with aGn-RH and 20.3% in the mifepristone group. Overall, the treatment was defined as effective in 88.6% of the women treated with aGn RH and 93.2% of those treated with mifepristone. Relapse occurred in 11.4% of women after aGn-RH and in 5.1% of those in the mifepristone group. Pregnancy occurred in 69.2% of patients and resulted in delivery in 90.8% of cases.Conclusions. The use of preoperative hormonal preparation and a differentiated approach to medication selection leads to normalization of the patient's condition and a reduction in the size of the nodules, which allows organ-preserving surgical treatment with minimal uterine trauma.

We have studied 14 series of consecutive histological sections of human embryos and pre-fetuses aged 6 to 11 weeks of intrauterine development by using a set of topical morphological methods (anthropometry, morphometry, histology, three-dimensional reconstruction).Results. The frontal and parietal bones appear at the end of the embryonic period as mesenchymal rudiments that gradually expand upwards from primary points of ossification (starting from the basolateral parts of the head). During 8th week of IUD, the germ of the ectomeningeal capsule is detected in the form of a thin plate, close to the brain. At the beginning of the pre-fetal period, histological signs of membranous ossification are revealed; frontal and parietal bones develop from paired rudiments, which gradually fuse, which was accompanied by active angiogenesis.Conclusions. The primary ossification centers in frontal and parietal bones of the human embryo appear at the beginning of embryological period and develop by membranous type. Two ossification centers appear in frontal and parietal bones and they gradually merge. At the beginning of the prenatal period, the rudiment of a small wing of the sphenoid, spheno-ethmoidal cartilage and signs of merging of both ossification centers in the parietal bone are detected.","PeriodicalId":9270,"journal":{"name":"Bukovinian Medical Herald","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91141279","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 microbiological examination of 97 samples of the contents of the cavity of the maxillary sinuses was carried out. The main group consisted of 50 patients with CPMS with type 1 diabetes at the age of 20-67 years (10 patients at the age of 20-31 years, 14 patients - 31-45 years old and 26 - at the age of 45-67 years).

In our study, we examined 89 women. The first (control) group included 13 healthy women oocyte donors who got pregnant on their own and gave birth to their own healthy children, the second group - 33 patients with infertility, who took 3 mg of the preparation \"Vita-melatonin\" produced by \"Kyiv Vitamin Plant\" at the same time before bedtime, two weeks before and during ovulation stimulation, the third group - 43 patients with infertility who did not take melatonin preparation before and during ovulation stimulation. There were no women who worked night shifts among the patients. Medical documentation of women of the control group and those with infertility, data of gynecological, ultrasound examination, hormones blood were analyzed. Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs was performed on all patients with the device \"Mindray DC-80 X-Insight\", and measurements were performed using a transvaginal sensor. The thickness and structure of the endometrium were evaluated, and the number of antral follicles (NAF) ranging in size from 2 to 10 mm was counted in each ovary. All patients were tested for serum levels of the anti-mullerian hormone (AMG), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), prolactin (PRL), progesterone (P), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T4).Results. The average age of women in the first (control) group was 27.08 ± 12.38 years, the second (taking melatonin) - 33.12 ± 8.18 years, the third (not taking melatonin) - 30.95 ± 7.07 years > 0.05), i. e. the age of the patients of the examined groups was equal.

The data of 52 patients’cases of diseases on COVID-19 with IHD who underwent inpatient treatment were analyzed. The first group included 40 patients who were discharged with recovery, and the second group included 12 patients who died. The degree of systemic inflammation syndrome in the selected groups of patients was estimated by the number of leukocytes and cellular composition of peripheral blood upon admission to the hospital, and based on the data received, the value of hematological integral indices was calculated.Results. It has been established that group II patients who died of cardiovascular complications connected with COVID-19 had significantly higher levels of systemic inflammatory response, which exhibits a significant increase in the total blood white blood cell content and increases in the percentage of neutrophils with a decrease in the percentage of lymphocytes and is substantially higher than the integrated haematological indices: leukocyte shift index, index of the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes and index of the ratio of neutrophils to monocytes. During the systemic inflammatory reaction, it has been observed that the inflammatory process aggravates the coronary atherosclerotic plaque making them more susceptible to rupture. Therefore, we can assume that existing IHD combined with an enhanced inflammatory response can lead to heart damage in patients infected with SARS-CoV- 2.Conclusion. Lymphocytopenia, excessive activation of the inflammatory cascade and heart damage are important features of COVID-19 disease and have high predictive value.","PeriodicalId":9270,"journal":{"name":"Bukovinian Medical Herald","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78355336","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}
