Документ Acupressure as a method of Rehabilitation and Treatment of patients with gastroduodenal pathology(Wydawnictwo Aluna, 2022) Hutsalenko, O. O.; Katerenchuk, I. P.; Kostrikova, U. A.; Tsyganenko, I. V.; Yarmola, T. I.; Tkachenko, L. A.; Ovcharenko, L. K.; Гуцаленко, Ольга Олексіївна; Катеренчук, Іван Петрович; Кострікова, Юлія Анатоліївна; Циганенко, Ірина Володимирівна; Ярмола, Тетяна Іванівна; Ткаченко, Лідія Афанасіївна; Овчаренко, Людмила КостянтинівнаAim: To assess the effectiveness and safety of acupressure in the complex rehabilitation and treatment of patients with gastroduodenal pathology. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of the results of examination and treatment of 40 patients with gastroduodenal pathology was carried out. For treatment, the author’s protocol of acupressure (AP) was used based on the recommendations of F.M. Houston. Statistical processing of the results was carried out according to the qualitative data analysis algorithm using the MedCalc 2022 software package. The frequency of occurrence of qualitative binary variables was analyzed with the calculation of 95% CI. To determine the effect of AP on the change in the frequency of clinical syndromes, the McNemar test for related groups was used. The assessment of the risk of side effects of AP was carried out on the basis of determining the significance level of 95% CI for the share, taking into account the binomial distribution of the characteristic. Formulated null and alternative statistical hypotheses. Results: After two weeks of treatment with the using of AP against the background of the disappearance of endoscopic signs of gastroduodenal pathology, statistically significant changes in the frequency of manifestations of all clinical syndromes were detected. AP not only relieves pain, but also shortens the duration of the illness, eliminates functional disorders of the motility of the upper parts of the digestive tract, allows to achieve clinical and endoscopic recovery and provides stable and long-term remission. Tolerability of AP was good. No side effects were registered. It has been proven with a probability of 95% that the risk of a side effect does not exceed 9%. Conclusions: Using of AP is effective, safe, which corresponds to the alternative statistical hypothesis.Документ Anticholinergic burden in aging patients and its role in the development of bladder decompensation(Полтавський державний медичний університет, 2022) Pustovoit, G. L.; Sarychev, L. P.; Savchenko, R. B.; Sarychev, Y. V.; Ustenko, R. L.; Sukhomlin, S. A.; Пустовойт, Ганна Леонідівна; Саричев, Леонід Петрович; Савченко, Роман Борисович; Саричев, Ярослав Володимирович; Устенко, Роман Леонідович; Сухомлин, Сергій АдольфовичАнтихолінергічне навантаження розглядають як кумулятивний ефект від прийому препаратів з антихолінергічною активністю. У статті наведено дані про роль антихолінергічного навантаження в розвитку декомпенсації сечового міхура у хворих на доброякісну гіперплазію передміхурової залози. Обстежено 381 пацієнтів із доброякісною гіперплазією передміхурової залози в стадії субкомпенсації та декомпенсації сечового міхура. Антихолінергічне навантаження у пацієнтів літнього віку може розвиватися як в результаті прийому препаратів з високою потенційною антихолінергічної активністю, так і в результаті тривалого застосування препаратів з низькою потенційною антихолінергічної активністю. Препарати з високою потенційною антихолінергічною активністю зменшують симптоми гіперактивного сечового міхура у пацієнтів з доброякісною гіперплазією передміхурової залози, але антихолінергічне навантаження стає фактором поглиблення декомпенсації сечового міхура, що погіршує результати хірургічного лікування.Документ Aspects of pharmacotherapy in cardiac emergencies(2025) Vasova, O.

P.; Rustamian, S. T.; Катеренчук, Іван Петрович; Рустамян, Сатєнік ТігранівнаThis article presents the results of the analysis of adherence to treatment of patients on renal replacement therapy, taking into account type 2 diabetes. It was found that the adherence index to treatment is directly proportional to the patient's age and does not depend on the article and duration of treatment on programmed hemodialysis. In turn, the presence of a history of diabetes increases patient compliance, which, in turn, has a positive effect on disease control by both the doctor and the patient. Patients with stage I-II chronic kidney disease have a low level of adherence, which may be an additional risk factor for renal failure progressionДокумент Assessment of quality of life of patients after surgery made by the in-house devices and methods(Wiadomości Lekarskie, 2020) Riabushko, N. О.; Riabushko, R. М.; Riabushko, M. М.; Riabushko, O. B.; Рябушко, Наталія Олексіївна; Рябушко, Роман Миколайович; Рябушко, Микола Миколайович; Рябушко, Олена БорисівнаTo estimate the patients’ quality of life after surgery made by the in-house devices and methods. Materials and methods: According to the peculiarities of surgical treatment, the set of instruments used and the methods of its application during surgery, all patients were assigned into two groups: group І (comparison group, or retrospective group) involved 48 (58.5%) patients who received treatment at the Vascular Surgery Department and had contraindications to endovascular laser and radiofrequency ablation, as evidenced by ultrasonographic color angioscanning (USCAS). These patients underwent typical phlebectomies, which were performed using a standard set of instruments; group ІІ (prospective) involved 34 (41.5%) patients treated in the Surgery Department.

V.; Kapustianska, A. A.; Moiseieva, N. V.; Vakhnenko, A. V.; Rumiantseva, M. O.; Zviagolska, I. M.; Буря, Лілія Володимирівна; Капустянська, Анна Анатоліївна; Моісєєва, Наталія Віталіївна; Вахненко, Андрій Вікторович; Рум'янцева, Марія Олександрівна; Звягольська, Ірина МиколаївнаThe aim: To perform a comprehensive evaluation of the effect of paroxetine on the degree of somatoform disorders in exacerbation of severe COPD in women. Materials and methods: The study involved 53 female patients with severe COPD (Group D), confirmed by instrumental methods of study. At hospitalization, patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients of Group 1 (n = 21; aged 52.5 ± 0.8 years old) underwent basic exacerbation therapy. Patients of Group 2 (n = 22; aged 57.9 ± 0.4 years old) underwent basic exacerbation therapy supplemented with paroxetine for 14 days, 1 tablet (0.20 g) once a day. Results: The basic therapy for treatment of COPD exacerbations, supplemented with paroxetine, led to a positive clinical effect, confirmed by increase in skeletal and respiratory muscular system, increased parameters of pulmonary ventilation, increased tolerance to physical load, increased oxygen saturation, decreased heart rate and breathing rate. Conclusions: The strategy for choosing an antidepressant to provide multidisciplinary care for somatoform disorders in women with exacerbation of severe COPD (group D) should take into account the efficacy and favorable safety profile and personalization of the drug. In exacerbation of severe COPD, the degree of somatoform disorders in patients correlates with the severity of the main criteria: FVC1, the distance walked during the 6-minute step test, oxygen saturation after the 6-minute step test, end-expiratory pressure in the oral cavity.Документ Churg-strauss syndrome: clinical case and its feautures(Wydawnictwo Aluna, 2019) Katerenchuk, Ivan P.; Tkachenko, L.

There are no standardized treatment protocols for AU. A new class of drugs called biologics, that target the various mediators of the inflammation cascade, may potentially provide more effective and less toxic corticosteroids treatment of AU. The aim: The aim of this review was to make the evaluatation of the interleukins influence on intraocular inflammation in available literature and summarize the expediency of using anti-interleukins agent in case of AU. Material and methods: This article is a review and summary of the up-to-date results of pivotal experimental and clinical trials targeting the Interleukins (IL), including IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, IL-22, IL-23, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Also reviews focus on the potential use of anti-interleukin therapy for the treatment of autoimmune diseases (AD). Conclusions: AU is an inflammation of the uvea due to an autoimmune reaction to self-antigens. The most important IL in the pathogenesis of AU are IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, IL-22, IL-23 and TNF-α. Anti-interleukin therapy is partially described. Future randomized controlled trials are urgently needed to be conduct.Документ Clinical, pharmacotherapeutic and biorhythmological peculiarities of depressive disorders, comorbid with cardiovascular pathology(м. Тбілісі, 2021) Hryn, K.; Sydorenko, A.; Vlasova, O.; Kolot, E.; Martynenko, Y.; Гринь, Катерина Вікторівна; Сидоренко, Антоніна Григорівна; Власова, Олена Вікторівна; Колот, Еліна Георгіївна; Мартиненко, Яніна ПавлівнаThe spread of depressive disorders is extra high nowadays. Depressive disorders are widespread mental disorders in the structure of mental pathology, both causes of psychiatrists’ visit, and causes of medical aid. The presence of depressive syndrome in patients with cardiovascular system leads to deterioration patient’s condition and adaptive abilities and aggravates somatic abnormality. Adequate therapy causes their reduction, prevention of recurrence and decompansation of comorbid somatic pathology, and eliminates severe medical and prevents social consequences. The study of clinical aspects of depressive conditions which are accompanied with pathology is one of the direction not only psychiatric, but also common pharmacotherapeutic investigations. The aim of the investigation was to determine clinical, pharmacotherapeutic and biorhythmic peculiarities of depressive disorders in patients with comorbid cardiac pathology. And also assessment of efficacy of complex therapy based on chronotherapy principle was used. 50 patients (female patients) with depressive disorders were involved in this investigation. This was performed based on “Depressive disorders of organic genesis, characterized by somatic pathology” (F 06.35), “Somatoform disorder” of heart and cardiovascular system (F 45.30), “Mild depressive episode” (F 32.00), and also comorbid arterial hypertension confirmed by physician. Clinical, laboratory, clinical and psychopathological investigations using psychodiagnostic scales (scale HAMD-21, CGI-S, CGI-І) were used. Individual biorhythmic status was established and it requires medicamentous therapy. Comparing patients of both groups, it has been detected a group of patients in whom principles of chronotherapy, especially antihypertensive and antidepressive therapy were prescribed, dynamics of patient’s improvement was better than in the investigated group where the principle of chronotherapy was observed.Документ Collection of test tasks «Fundamentals of internal medicine (rheumatology)»(Полтавський державний медичний університет, 2022) Talash, V.

Materials and methods: The study included 43 CAP patients, aged 46 to 65 years, with viral lesions along with hypertension. The average age of the patients was 52.5 ± 4.5 years. Veri cation of the CAP diagnosis and its formulation was performed in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 128 of 19.03.2007 “On the approval of clinical protocols of medical care in “Pulmonology” in all patients, pneumonia was complicated by exudative pleuritis, which was con rmed by X-ray examination. Results: The use of combination drugs, namely, torasemide with prolonged e ect and tivortin aspartate in the treatment of patients with community-acquired pneumonia, complicated by exudative pleuritis, combined with hypertension led to more signi cant positive changes in the values of saturation, blood biochemical parameters, as well as accelerated recovery of patients, which was con rmed by the positive dynamics of X-ray examination. Conclusions: As a result of the treatment, all parameters of the quality of life of the patients were greatly improved, which resulted in a signi cant reduction in functional limitations and high social activity of the patients, which signi cantly reduced the cost of treatment.Документ Early cardiac rehabilitation in acute myocardial infarction patients and its features(Полтавський державний медичний університет, 2021) Teslenko, Y. V.; Myakinkova, L. O.; Teslenko, M. M.; Тесленко, Юрій Віталійович; М'якінькова, Людмила Олександрівна; Тесленко, Марина МиколаївнаPatients that have undergone myocardial infarction require inclusion in the treatment program of cardiac rehabilitation as a component of secondary prevention. Rehabilitation potential in patients with myocardial infarction was investigated according to a mathematical model that included indicators of hospital mortality, myocardial reperfusion, anxiety and depression, myocardial contractility, comorbidity and prehospital physical activity. The individual rehabilitation program according to the level of rehabilitation potential contributed to the early expansion of the physical exercise mode to the ward mode in patients of the experimental group for 2.83±0.13 days compared with 3.57±0.14 days in the control group, the baseline heart rate was 73.2±1.72 beats per minute, and 78.4±1.13 beats per minute, respectively. According to the results of submaximal testing, the distance in the experimental group was 694.7±38.4 m, in the control group – 584.2±40.7 m (p˂0.05). Assessment of rehabilitation potential provides determination of optimal terms and methods of cardiac rehabilitation.Документ Effect of atmospheric technogenic emissions on health indicators of child population(Wydawnictwo Aluna, 2018) Toronchenko, Olha M.; Bredun, Viktor I.; Smoliar, Natalia O.; Торонченко, Ольга МиколаївнаIntroduction:The identification of scientifically grounded dependency of the atmospheric pollution effect on the health level of the child population within particular area makes it possible to assess the degree of district environmental safety and provides the possibility for implementation of targeted programs and risk preventing strategies associated with atmospheric emissions. The aim of the study is to assess the dependence of child morbidity rate development caused by atmospheric chemical pollution, which resulted from the stationary and mobile sources activity in terms of the Poltava region (Ukraine) as a model. Materials and methods: Analysis of the general morbidity rate, respiratory diseases and congenital malformations rate was based on statistical data of the Poltava Regional Health Department, the assessment of air pollutant emissions level in cities and districts of the region over 2011-2015 years was performed using data provided by the Main Statistics Department of the Poltava region and the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Poltava Region State Administration; the Microsoft Excel package with Pearson correlation coefficient and two-choice Student’s t-test was used for the data analysis. Results: According to the research data it was determined that each district had its own specific features in environmental hazards formation and common correlation pattern for all 25 administrative districts of the Poltava region was not specified. Ranking of regions by the level of pollutant emission effect on the child morbidity rate makes it possible to distinguish more dangerous ecological regions. Eight areas with significant and moderate relations between the child morbidity rate and air pollution caused by mobile sources and seven areas where air pollution was caused by stationary ones have been revealed. The main sources of air pollution are industrial emissions of the fuel and energy enterprises, manufacturing and extractive industries, vehicle and agriculture emissions. Kremenchuk and Horishni Plavhi cities include more significant factors in formation of child morbidity rate. Conclusions: Considering identified factors and dependencies, the targeted regional program aimed at specification, elimination and prevention of the harmful environmental factor affecting children’s health can be projected.Документ Efficacy of percutaneous draining operations for simple renal cysts(Полтавський державний медичний університет, 2021) Sarychev, L. P.; Sarychev, Y. V.; Pustovoyt, A. L.; Suprunenko, S. M.; Savchenko, R. B.; Ustenko, R. L.; Sukhomlyn, S. A.; Саричев, Леонід Петрович; Саричев, Ярослав Володимирович; Пустовойт, Ганна Леонідівна; Супруненко, Сергій Миколайович; Савченко, Роман Борисович; Устенко, Роман Леонідович; Сухомлин, Сергій АдольфовичThe relevance of the work is due to the fact that the choice of the optimal method for minimally invasive treatment of simple renal cysts is controversial and there is no consensus. In order to assess the effectiveness of treatment, we carried out both a retrospective and prospective analysis of the documentation of 455 patients with simple renal cysts. Percutaneous draining operations performed in 402 (88.4 %) patients followed by sclerotherapy with 96 % ethanol have proven to be an effective treatment for progressive (>6 cm) and symptomatic simple renal cysts. Bosniak category II simple renal cysts are characterized by a significant increase in drainage time. Symptomatic parapelvical, multichambered, intraparenchymatous (Bosniak category IIFIII) and complicated (Bosniak category IV) simple renal cysts should be a subject for “open” surgical treatment.Документ Enterococcus faecalis як потенційний інфекційний патоген в кліниці внутрішньої медицини(Вищий державний навчальний заклад України «Українська медична стоматологічна академія», 2011) Кострікова, Юлія Анатоліївна; Кострикова, Юлия Анатольевна; Kostrikova, Yu.

A.; Kostrikova, Y. A.; Tomenko, V. V.; Salo, L. M.; Manojlo, E. V.; Гуцаленко, Ольга Олексіївна; Кострікова, Юлія Анатоліївна; Томенко, Вячеслав ВасильовичІntroduction: The problem of multifocal atherosclerosis (combined atherosclerotic lesion of the carotid and coronary arteries) is currently extremely actual. Patients with multifocal atherosclerosis (MFA) are at a very high risk of cardiovascular complications development. Such dangerous complications of MFA as myocardial infarction (MI) and cerebral stroke, account for almost 70% of all deaths in the world. The results of the international multicenter REACH register showed an almost triple increase in the risk of MI, stroke or death in patients with MFA. It is well known that a stroke is easier to prevent than to achieve full recovery of lost functions, and even more so of complete cure of the patient. Encouraging is the fact that 80% of premature myocardial infarction and strokes can be prevented, which predetermines necessity of their pathogenetically grounded prevention. The aim: to substantiate the feasibility of prescriptive carotid arteries (CA) screening ultrasound examination with the purpose of timely diagnosis of atherosclerosis and prevention of acute vascular accidents development. Materials and methods: We examined 38 patients with arterial hypertension and concomitant IHD and cerebrovascular diseases aged 40 to 75 years who were on treatment in the neurological department of the 5th city clinical hospital. The presence of carotid atherosclerosis was determined using the CA duplex scanning (DS) method with measurement of the “intima-media” complex and with an assessment of the atherosclerotic plaques presence in the CA. Results: According to the DS CA, carotid atherosclerosis was detected in 36 patients (94.7% of cases). Asymptomatic stenosis of CA was noted in 34 examined patients. It is noted that the development of asymptomatic carotid stenosis in men begins after 40 years, and in women - after 50 years, and often even earlier. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely correction of combined atherosclerotic lesions as a basis for secondary prevention of MFA and acute ischemic vascular complications is very important. Conclusions: MFA is a pathology with a potentially significant risk of death, which causes timely early diagnosis. Therefore, carrying out prescriptive screening DS CA (in men after 40 years, and in women after 50 years) will allow early detection of atherosclerotic lesions of the CA at the preclinical stage or precursors of the disease in people who consider themselves healthy, which gives reason to intervene during the disease in early its stages or before the acute clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis.Документ Goodpascher’s syndrome - the challenges in a timely diagnosis and treatment in medical practice (clinical case)(Грузинська асоціація ділової преси, 2018-05) Talash, V.; Bevzenko, T.; Yarmola, T.; Tkachenko, L.; Pustovoyt, H.; Талаш, Вікторія Володимирівна; Бевзенко, Тетяна Борисівна; Ярмола, Тетяна Іванівна; Ткаченко, Лідія Афанасіївна; Пустовойт, Ганна ЛеонідівнаThe article presents a clinical case with intravital diagnosis of Goodpascher’s syndrome in a 22 years old patient. In this work we analyze clinical, laboratory-instrumental, pathologoanatomic and pathomorphological aspects of the disease, which was accompanied by glomerulonephritis with rapidly progressive renal insufficiency, anemia, arterial hypertension and symptoms of lung injury. Article emphasizes on the necessity of timely diagnosis of Goodpascher’s syndrome and following administration of immunosuppressive therapy.
