Optimization of diagnostics and treatment of temporal-mandibular impairments
Resumo
One of the most common pathologies among lesions dentition is dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). According to literature, 70 to 100% of the population suffer from TMJ pathology. The increasing number of patients with TMJ pathology can be explained by improved diagnosis and increased paraclinical methods, especially by the technical capabilities of medical research. Under our supervision there were 86 patients with various disorders of TMJ dysfunction. Anamnesis data revealed that the patients earlier underwent dental treatment for caries and its complications. Comparison group consisted of 15 people with full dental health and orthognatic bite. One of the assigned tasks was to study the influence of the seal teeth on TMJ. In terms of limitations to seal the teeth of patients in the main group, 26 patients were observed up to 1 year, 32 patients - up to 2 and 28 patients - up to 3 years. Characteristics of sealed teeth of upper and lower jaws were as follows: front - 19 (incisors and cuspids), premolars and molars - 77. Revealed that 85% patients of main group in the first days of the sealing had pain when biting and food intake, and at the 20-30 days - crepitation, clicking and noise in the area of TMJ. Assessment of occlusal relations of the teeth and dentition were determined using wax occlusal and copy paper, with subsequent removal of the casts of both jaws. The models placed into the articulator and received data were recorded in designed “Personal data sheet” of TMJ. Establishing the causes, acute or chronic changes of occlusal relationships (supercontext) should be considered as a fundamental trigger in the pathogenesis of TMJ dysfunction as well as forced position the lower jaw with formation of pathological conditions. In this aspect main role should be given to mistakes and complications during recovery and teeth filling that can cause the dysfunction of TMJ, periodontosis etc. When planning therapeutic interventions in case of TMJ dysfunction clinical and radiographic evaluation, orthopantomography, computed tomography, functional methods of investigation (electronography), and the elimination of the causes leading to its development (occlusal relation of the jaws) are necessary that will greatly enhance the capabilities of diagnosis and treatment.

The distribution of total blood plasma cholesterol among pfur’s students from different climatic-geographic regions
Resumo
The concentrations of total cholesterol (CH) in the blood plasma were determined among 246 students of the PFUR. The students were divided into groups according to concentrations of total cholesterol: the “optimal” (CH < 4.4 mmol/l); borderline 4.4 < CH < 5.4 mmol/l); and high (CH > 5.4 mmol/l) for persons under the age of 20 years and young adults older than 20 years, which were accepted as independent risk factors for ischemic heart disease IHD. Borderline values of CH were detected in 19% of students, who require a deeper examination to identify additional risk factors for IHD. Among 5% of the examined students, high concentrations of CH were revealed. This group of students also needs further evaluation and deciding on the need for dietary and pharmacological correction of hypercholesterolemia.

Blastocystis spp infections in clinical practice
Resumo
Pathogenic properties of Blastocystis spp. - widespread of this protozoan organism remains debatable. Data on clinical observations demonstrating that the manifest forms of invasive Blastocystis spp . can occur from mild diarrhea, dysentery-like, to severe ulcer-necrotizing bowel perforation with complications and poor prognosis. However, one should not exaggerate the pathogenic properties of these protozoa because most infected people are asymptomatic carriers, or have symptoms of diarrhea syndrome of varying severity and duration.

Computed tomography in the diagnosis of diseases of the lungs and pleura
Resumo
The review deals with computer-tomographic diagnosis of diseases of bronchopulmonary system and pleura, many of the issues highlighted in the literature not clearly or not covered at all. The introduction into clinical practice of modern methods of diagnosis increases the possibility of detecting disease at an early stage when there is possible to use radical methods of treatment. Despite the high level of modern technologies in the field of visualization of respiratory system, problem early and accurate diagnosis of disease remains highly relevant. Improved results of treatment dependent on the timely and accurate diagnosis. Modern methods of CT is one of the most accurate in radiodiagnostic, allows quickly to obtain significant information about the organs state and tissues of the chest. The work demonstrates the potential of CT in clinical decision making when observing patients with diseases of bronchopulmonary system and pleura.

Nutritional status disordes and comorbidities in children
Resumo
Several comorbid measures demonstrates the predictive ability for children's health. The association of body mass index (BMI) categories with comorbidities studied in 317 children of 7-15 year old. Body mass index and presence of chronic condition were assessed. Comorbidity index was estimated in subgroup of children with BMI ±1SD, ±2SD, ±3SD. Children with normal weight had comorbidity index of 3.2. Increase or decrease of BMI is associated with rise of comorbidity index. Obesity as well as protein-energy malnutrition increases comorbidity index more than to 4 in children. Impaired nutritional status can be considered as an independent risk factor for concomitant pathology in children. Increase of comorbidity in obesity and underweight is predominantly nonspecific in nature. Obesity in children is characterized by the formation of a specific set of diseases, which together can be considered as a single characteristic polypathy.

Hyperhomocysteinemia and its correction in posttrombotic syndrome of the lower limbs
Resumo
The article is about hyperhomocysteinemia which retards recanalization processes after deep vein thrombosis and leads to the lower extremities post-thrombotic syndrome. Levels of blood homocysteine were determined at admission, after 1 and 3 months after the acute thrombosis of the deep veins of the lower extremities. Increased levels of homocysteine were revealed. Maximum concentration of homocysteine was 31.6 mmol/l, which corresponds to moderate hyperhomocysteinemia. In patients receiving anticoagulants for 3 months the level of homocysteine slightly decreased. Prescription of vitamins B6, B9, B12 allows significantly decrease the homocysteine levels, improve health outcomes, reduce the number of patients with class C3-4.

Dynamics of electroneuromyography in postoperative period after mandible fractures
Resumo
Nowadays there is increase in the frequency of mandibular fractures, as well as the weighting of the nature of the fracture. At the same time, there is a tendency to growth of fractures of the articular processes of the mandible and comminuted fractures. With a wide access to intralesional mandibular extraoral fixation occurs re-tension and damage the edge branch of the facial nerve. Conducted functional assessment of efficiency of application of “Heparin” in complex treatment of mandibular fractures. 84 patients with fractures in the angle and the articular process of the mandible, as well as comminuted fractures underwent osteosynthesis. For the study, two groups were formed: with standard treatment and with the use of “Epsorin”. Electroneuromyography of facial nerve branches was performed in 2, 7 and 14 days after surgery. The data confirm recovery of demyelinated nerve fibers and axonal damage in postoperative wound in the main group compared with the control. As a result this medication can be used in treatment of traumatic injuries of mandible as an alternative means.

Splanchnic hemomicrocirculation in abdominal surgery
Resumo
Splanchnic blood circulation in patients with emergency surgical diseases and abdominal injuries is an integral indicator of functional disorders and a prognostic index of multiple organ failure development. The purpose of the research was to study abdominal membrane splanchnic hemomicrocirculation in the abdominal surgery conditions. As a result, specifics of abdominal hemomicrocirculation disruptions during a surgical intervention was revealed. It was established that the “open abdomen” method is not recommended for treatment of intra-abdominal hypertension and shall be replaced with other methods of decompressive closure of the abdominal cavity.
