A case of reconstruction of the mandible with a free autograft of the fibula in the "double-barrel" modification using microsurgical technique
Abstract
Malignant neoplasms (MN) of the oral cavity are tumors developing from the elements of squamous epithelium of the mucous membrane of the cheeks, palate, gums, floor of the mouth, and tongue. The first most common MN of the maxillofacial region is cancer of the oral mucosa. In the late stages of the disease, tumor invasion into the bone often occurs, so preference is given to surgical treatment. The microsurgical technique of tissue auto transplantation in the "double-barrel" modification is actively used today. The aim of the work was to assess the importance of preoperative planning and intraoperative modeling for the use of the "double-barrel" auto transplantation technique using a clinical case as an example. For this purpose, a retrospective analysis of a clinical case was performed at the Tver Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary. Results. The following surgical treatment was performed: resection of the lower jaw with microsurgical plastic surgery, cervical lymph node dissection on the right side. In preoperative planning, an important role was played by the use of CAD/CAM technologies for the production of templates, as well as careful clinical, laboratory and instrumental diagnostics. Thus, detailed preoperative planning and accurate intraoperative modeling allows achieving the desired results, reducing the time of surgical intervention and reducing the frequency of complications. To achieve a successful result in treatment, it is necessary to perform the operation in two profiles: oncology and reconstructive surgery.

The involvement of mast cell tryptase in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue in benign prostatic hyperplasia
Abstract
The cellular component of the prostate stroma is a key regulatory mechanism for maintaining homeostasis, actively influencing the glandular epithelium, forming the immune microclimate and supporting the fibrous component of the stroma in dynamic interaction. Pathological changes in benign prostatic hyperplasia lead to the development of more serious conditions, which often lead to death. In our work, a morphological study of mast cell activity and its proinflammatory protease, tryptase, was performed in the biopsy material of 5 patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Quantitative indicators were evaluated with staining of micro-preparations with Gimza solution and immunohistochemical determination of tryptase, as well as functionally, and the features of degranulation were noted. The data obtained indicate a close interaction of mast cells and the mediators they produce in the development of processes such as hyperplasia, the formation of pro-inflammatory and profibrous background in the tissues of the gland. Mast cells are considered as potential targets for the development of new strategies for the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the prostate gland.

Parents' willingness to use digital technologies in a children's clinic
Abstract
The article examines parents’ readiness to use digital services in pediatric clinics and proposes recommendations for optimizing outpatient care. Based on a survey of 300 respondents, focus groups, and statistical analysis, it was found that the most popular feature is online appointment scheduling (85%), while access to electronic medical records and telemedicine consultations is less common. A significant correlation was identified between users’ age and digital service engagement: younger parents (20–30 years) show higher activity (78%) compared to older age groups (48–58%). Key barriers include technical difficulties (35%), lack of information (40%), and data security concerns (25%). The study recommends interface improvements, educational programs, and digital navigation tools to enhance accessibility.

Study of antimicrobial activity of glass ionomer cement modified with metal nanoparticles
Abstract
Introduction. Caries in the modern world ranks first among all dental-related pathologies. In some cases, caries is accompanied by complications even after treatment. The main complication after caries treatment is its recurrence, which forces dentists to prioritize the prevention of recurrent caries. The methods of such prevention include nanoimpregnation of existing filling materials in order to enhance and prolong their bactericidal effect. Glass Ionomer (polyalkenate) cements are currently the most commonly used in dental practice worldwide. However, it should be noted that polyalkenate cements do not have the ability to inhibit the growth of cariogenic microflora. There are few studies in the scientific literature on the antimicrobial activity of glass ionomer cements modified with metal and nonmetal nanoparticles in relation to the microbiota of plaque and saliva. The paucity of scientific studies on the nanoimpregnation of polyalkenate cements highlights the need for further study of this issue. The purpose of the work. Identification of antimicrobial properties of polyalkenate cement through its experimental impregnation with nanoparticles of vanadium oxide, aluminum oxide and magnetite, in relation to the mixed microbiota of saliva. Materials and methods of research. The finished fillings were applied immediately, the powdered components were first mixed with distilled water until a thick, homogeneous consistency was formed. The antimicrobial activity of the nanoimpregnated filling material was evaluated in relation to the mixed microbiota (saliva) in vitro. The results of the study. For 24 hours, at a temperature of 37 °C, previously prepared fillings (a month ago) and freshly mixed samples were exposed in the thermostat. As a result, experimental samples 1-5 showed no areas of delayed microbial growth. Sample 6 showed a growth retardation zone of 15 mm on a plate with mixed microbiota. It should be noted that sample 6 was applied in a semi-liquid state because it did not mix well. Conclusion. Glass ionomer cement impregnated with a colloidal aqueous solution of magnetite may exhibit bactericidal efficacy in order to prevent the recurrence of caries after careful instrumental and drug treatment of the carious cavity.

Clinical case of benign proteinuria in a preschool child
Abstract
The loss of protein in the urine of a healthy person does not exceed 150 mg/day, in a single portion - 33 mg/l, which means trace proteinuria. Detection of a larger amount of protein in the urine is a reason for further examination. Proteinuria is divided into physiological and pathological. The causes of physiological proteinuria can be physical activity, increased insolation, hypothermia, hyperthermia. Usually, the level of protein in the urine with physiological proteinuria is no more than 1 g/l. Pathological proteinuria is divided by severity into minimal (up to 1 g/day), moderate (1-3 g/day) and nephrotic (more than 3 g/day). According to the pathophysiological mechanism, proteinuria is divided into prerenal (due to the excretion of a protein amount higher than the capacity for its reabsorption), glomerular (with increased permeability of the glomerular filter) and tubular (impaired reabsorption of protein molecules in the tubules). In addition, proteinuria can be selective and non-selective. Long-term persistent proteinuria, not accompanied by edema syndrome, erythrocyturia and extrarenal manifestations, is a reason for genetic testing, since several dozen mutations have been described that are clinically accompanied by proteinuria. The results of genetic testing can significantly affect the prognosis and tactics of patient management.

Gene-environment interactions in predicting STEM orientation
Abstract
A comprehensive study of gene-mediated determinants of STEM-orientation among 790 students (mean age 21.4±3.9 years) was conducted. The methods employed encompassed psychological testing (Eysenck, Beck, Spielberg-Hanin, etc.), questionnaires, and genetic analysis of polymorphisms rs10048736 of the ARHGAP15 gene and rs12903858 of the SQOR gene by real-time PCR. The results of the study indicated an association of the AA rs10048736 genotype with two distinct variables: academic achievement and passion for chess. The former was defined as a 12.7% success rate compared to a 6.8% success rate amongst non-medal carriers, with a p-value of 0.03. The latter was defined as a 36.3% success rate compared to a 25.6% success rate, with a p-value of 0.006. Furthermore, STEM-oriented students were found to be more likely to participate in high-level Olympiads (p=0.02). Regression analysis demonstrated a significant contribution of environmental factors (R²=9.61%, p<0.0001) and, in conjunction with genetic markers, a substantial effect size was observed (ΔR²=11.53%, p<0.0001). The STEM orientation of students is shaped by the complex interaction of genetic predictors and educational factors. The findings underscore the necessity of incorporating gene-medium interactions into professional orientation.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of nasal breathing restoration by surgery in patients with drug-induced rhinitis
Abstract
Due to the high availability of nasal topical decongestants, the number of people suffering from drug-induced rhinitis remains significantly high. Prolonged use of these drugs contributes to the development of reactive mucosal hyperplasia and vasomotor dysfunction, which in turn negatively affects nasal breathing. Therapy of this disease begins with the mandatory refusal to use vasoconstrictor drugs, but this may not improve the situation, but rather worsen it due to withdrawal syndrome. In this regard, additional medicinal and non-medicinal treatment methods are prescribed. Nasal corticosteroids are primarily the drugs of choice for relieving symptoms, the benefits of which have been noted in clinical observations and in randomized controlled trials. If the use of pharmacotherapy is ineffective, the patient is offered surgical treatment, which is a vasotomy. There are several types of this procedure. Laser and radio wave destruction of the lower nasal concha are often used, as well as classical surgical vasotomy performed with a scalpel that mechanically destroys the vascular plexuses. This method of treatment is well tolerated by patients, and is also effective and safe.

Comparative evaluation of materials for denture bases based on acetate resin and acrylic plastics
Abstract
Introduction. The foundation of a denture is the denture base, on which the artificial teeth are anchored and which supports the soft tissues of the oral cavity. Advances in polymer chemistry have led to the development of alternative materials such as acetal resins (polyoxymethylene-based materials) and ester-based polyether ether ether ketones (PEEK), which have replaced PMMA-based resins. Objective. To analyse and compare current information on the use of acetate resin and acrylic resin materials in the fabrication of partial and full denture bases. Materials and Methods. The study of properties and clinical parameters of materials for denture bases was based on the literature review of foreign and domestic sources. Results. The mechanical, physical, biological properties of materials based on acetate resin and acrylic plastic for denture bases were studied in the practice of a dentist-orthopedist. Conclusion. According to the literature reviewed, it can be assumed that acetate resin-based denture material has comparable strength properties to PMMA; in addition, this group of materials is resistant to tensile loading and a framework up to 0.5 mm thick will allow patients to adapt more quickly. PEEK, due to its ability to withstand functional bending loads, can prolong the clinical life of the denture base by counteracting the more frequent fractures of PMMA bases.

On the issue of responsibility for non-compliance with medical recommendations and violation of the treatment regime
Abstract
In the modern healthcare system, more and more attention is being paid to the patient-oriented approach, which implies the active participation of the patient in the treatment process. However, the effectiveness of any therapy directly depends on the patient's compliance with medical recommendations and treatment regimen. Failure to follow prescriptions can lead to a deterioration of the condition, the development of complications, a decrease in the effectiveness of treatment and an increase in healthcare costs. In this regard, the issue of the patient's responsibility for non-compliance with medical recommendations is becoming particularly relevant. This article analyzes various aspects of this problem, including ethical, legal, and practical considerations. Goal. To analyze existing approaches to determining patient responsibility for non-compliance with medical recommendations and violation of the treatment regimen, identify factors affecting treatment adherence, and suggest ways to increase patient responsibility for their health. Materials and methods. We have analyzed Article 27 of Federal Law No. 323-FZ dated 11/21/2011 "On the fundamentals of public health protection in the Russian Federation", regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation regulating healthcare issues, rights and duties of patients, scientific articles devoted to the problems of compliance, adherence to treatment and responsibility of the patient, the results of sociological research on the attitude of patients to their responsibilities during the treatment process. as well as reviews of judicial practice in cases involving non-compliance with medical recommendations. Results. In the course of the work, we found out that treatment adherence depends on many factors, including the quality of communication between the doctor and the patient, the complexity of the treatment regimen, the patient's faith in the effectiveness of therapy and socio-economic conditions. Failure to follow medical recommendations leads to negative consequences for the patient's health. Conclusion. The study showed that the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation does not provide for specific measures of responsibility for non-compliance with medical recommendations by the patient, although it establishes the duty of citizens to take care of their health and follow the treatment regimen.

Diagnosis of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis in forensic medical practice
Abstract
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a group of genetic diseases affecting the nervous system. The development of this pathology is caused by an abnormal accumulation of lipofuscin-like substances in the cellular structures of mainly neurons. Pathology is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. The clinical picture of this disease is characterized by the development of cognitive and motor disorders, visual impairment, as well as sleep disorders and the possible occurrence of mental disorders. Death occurs several years after the first manifestations of the disease, which are usually detected in childhood. The differential diagnosis of this pathology is significantly difficult due to genetic heterogeneity. Despite the urgency of this problem, postmortem forensic diagnosis of NCL is considered in a few modern scientific papers. The aim of the work is to establish diagnostically significant morphological changes in the internal organs of a 6–year-old child at death from NCL based on a comprehensive forensic medical examination. Materials and methods of research. In the course of this study, the following were examined: referral documentation, medical documents confirming the diagnosis of the child during his lifetime. Sectional and subsequently histological examinations with microscopy of autopsy preparations were performed. The results of the study. When studying the medical documentation, the clinical manifestations typical for this pathology were revealed. During the sectional examination of the corpse, the following was noted: the thickness of the skull bones was increased to 2 cm, while, normally, its size should not exceed 1-1.5 cm. We also noted atrophy of the cerebellar cortex and the cerebral hemispheres, areas of destruction with pronounced swelling of the brain matter, and the soft meninges. Histological examination of the brain visualizes a sharp atrophy of the brain substance with destructive changes in nerve cells. Microscopic examination of brain preparations stained with sudan Sh revealed lipid inclusions perivascularly and in the walls of individual vessels of the brain substance, pronounced perifocal edema. Conclusion. The conducted research shows the importance of using an integrated approach in case of death of a child from NCL, primarily for the differential diagnosis of this genetic disease with other neurodegenerative pathologies.

Changes in the exchange of neurotrophic factors in children with autism spectrum disorder
Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder is currently a widespread and understudied public health problem. Analysis of available statistical data from PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO information systems estimated that in 2024 there were 61.8 million (95% uncertainty interval 52.1-72.7) individuals (1 in 127) worldwide. The global age-standardized prevalence was 788.3 (663-8-927-2) per 100,000 people, equivalent to 1064-7 (898-5-1245-7) autistic males per 100,000 males and 508-1 (424-6-604-3) autistic females per 100,000 females. Autism spectrum disorders accounted for 11.5 million (7.8-16.3) DALYs, equivalent to 147.6 (100.2-208.2) DALYs per 100,000 people (standardized for age) worldwide. The frequent prevalence and high rating of the nonfatal burden of autism spectrum disorders among people younger than 20 years of age raises the challenge of early detection of this condition in order to timely correct the neuropsychiatric condition of patients. In this case, one of the relevant options is early postnatal diagnosis of this problem. Early assessment of changes in the concentration of neuroprotective serum proteins in newborns can be used as a promising diagnostic method in this area.

Contribution of tumor tissue mediators to the choice of treatment tactics for patients with renal cell carcinoma
Abstract
. In recent years, there has been an increase in the incidence of kidney cancer (КC), which is associated with an increased detection of small forms (up to 40 mm in diameter) and the number of cases of primary multiple kidney tumors. Treatment tactics for patients with primary multiple tumors have their own characteristics. Currently, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment strategy for patients with synchronous bilateral renal lesions. It has been proven that in patients with КС, the tumor parenchyma contains immune cells - this is the so-called tumor microenvironment (TME), the study of mediators of which is important for the diagnosis of local and widespread forms of КС, since it is useful in choosing treatment tactics. The study of the immune mechanisms of the body's defense and the clinical and diagnostic significance of tumor ТМЕ mediators is important for predicting the risk of tumor progression and the development of metastases in patients in the postoperative period.

Digital Depression: A New Challenge for Adolescent Psychotherapy
Abstract
The article explores the phenomenon of "digital depression" among adolescents aged 15-17—a new psychological condition associated with excessive use of social networks and digital technologies. A study conducted among 57 high school students in Kazan revealed that 29.8% of participants exhibit signs of media addiction, with 35.3% of them showing increased anxiety and 11.8% displaying symptoms of depression. A significant correlation (r=0.42, p<0.05) was established between the time spent on social media (more than 4 hours/day) and the level of anxiety. The main triggers of digital depression identified were: fear of missing out (FOMO), cyberbullying, and social comparison. The study also revealed gender differences: anxiety was more prevalent among girls, while boys tended to exhibit isolation. The authors emphasize the need to adapt psychotherapeutic assistance considering digital risks and propose specific solutions: the implementation of digital tools (chatbots, psychological applications); specialized training for school psychologists; and preventive programs on digital hygiene. Particular attention is given to the recommendation to include a module on digital well-being in the adolescent health screening program. The study confirms the relevance of the issue in Russia and the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach involving psychologists, medical professionals (psychotherapists, psychiatrists), educators, and IT specialists.

Comparative analysis of the psycho-emotional health of students at different stages of study at a medical university
Abstract
The study of the psycho-emotional health of medical students at different stages of study is of significant scientific and practical interest in the context of mental hygiene - an area aimed at maintaining mental health and preventing maladaptive conditions. Medical education is characterized by high intellectual workload, the need to assimilate a large amount of information and increased responsibility, which creates the prerequisites for chronic stress and emotional burnout. Under such requirements, anxiety becomes a key indicator of students' psychological well-being, influencing not only their academic results, but also the formation of professional competencies of future doctors. Conducting a comparative analysis of anxiety levels during exam sessions and the regular educational process allows us to identify critical points of psycho-emotional stress, which is especially important for developing preventive measures within the framework of mental hygiene. Exam periods associated with exams and assessment of knowledge are traditionally associated with peak stress, but prolonged exposure to moderate anxiety during “routine” academic months can also lead to a cumulative negative effect. Comparison of these states in junior and senior students makes it possible to trace the dynamics of adaptation mechanisms, as well as to identify the stages of learning that are most vulnerable to the development of anxiety disorders.

Analysis of the relationship between coagulogram deviations and development of recurrent full-thickness macular holes after surgical treatment with autologous platelet-rich plasma
Abstract
Surgical treatment of full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) with the application of autologous platelet-rich plasma on the neuroepithelial defect site is associated with the restoration of the anatomical profile of the macular region and the improvement of visual acuity. However, there are instances of incomplete closure and the recurrence of FTMHs following this type of vitrectomy. To date, there is no definitive consensus on the reasons for the lack of positive outcomes after surgical treatment. This study evaluates the impact of coagulation system deviations as a potential factor influencing the outcomes of surgical treatment for FTMHs using autologous platelet-rich plasma.Based on the results of the analysis, a statistically significant positive correlation was found between the presence of deviations in the coagulation profile and the development of incomplete closure of macular holes after surgery using platelet-rich autologous plasma (p < 0,001). A more detailed study of the relationship between deviations in the activity of individual components of autologous plasma and the risks of incomplete macular hole closure may serve as a basis for further research and the development of models for predicting surgical treatment outcomes.

Modern approaches to the integration of the early diagnosis of the temporomandibular joint and assess the effectiveness of miorelaxation splint therapy
Abstract
Diagnosis of the disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMD) is relevant against the background of an increase in the number of such violations. Therapy with miorelaxing splint is considered an important treatment for treatment, having a comprehensive effect on the entire dentition. Target. To identify markers of TMD and evaluate the effectiveness of splint therapy in patients. Materials and methods. The study was carried out in 25 patients with dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. The data of the survey, palpation, photographs, plaster models and Occlusiongram are analyzed. Results. The most common symptoms included discomfort when close, headaches (83% of patients). In 30% of patients, a restriction of the mouth (26 mm ± 1.3) with deviation was noted, and in 45% of patients the pain of the lateral poft muscle. On palpation of the joint, 33.3% of patients noted the pain in the lateral poles during rotation and 8 examiners noted soreness in the region of the temporomandibular ligament. Upon completion of therapy, 96% of patients noted a decrease in pain on the palpation of the chewing muscles, 73% - a decrease in pain of the lateral pore muscle. 84% of patients noted the normalization of the opening of the mouth. Conclusion. The disharmony of occlusal contacts initiates the development of TMD, which, in turn, compensatoryly reflects on the functioning of the chewing muscles. Splint-therapy demonstrates positive dynamics in a state of patients with temporomandibular disorders.

Evaluation of the relationship between arterial stiffness and body composition parameters in young persons
Abstract
Аннотация на английском:
The prevalence of obesity in young people has been increasing in recent decades, which has led to an elevated cardiovascular risk. However, it is important to note that young people often exhibit what is termed "metabolically healthy obesity", in which excess weight is not accompanied by typical metabolic abnormalities, making early diagnosis difficult.
Arterial stiffness, as measured by the CAVI (Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index), has been identified as an independent marker of vascular ageing, with a reduced reliance on blood pressure compared to other methodologies. The present study involved 51 students (mean age: 21.7 ± 3.0 years). Their body composition was assessed by means of the bioelectrical impedance method (Tanita MC-780 MAN), and arterial stiffness was measured by volumetric sphygmography (Vasera VS-2000) and expressed as CAVI (Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index).
The results revealed a negative association of CAVI with BMI (P=0.003), fat (P=0.009), and skeletal muscle mass (P=0.022). These findings contradict traditional views of the negative effects of obesity on the vascular system and are consistent with the concept of the "obesity paradox". Potential explanations for these findings include compensatory mechanisms in young adults, the influence of physical activity, and the protective role of muscle mass.
The findings emphasise the limitations of BMI as a marker of cardiovascular risk in young age and underscore the necessity of employing integrated measures such as CAVI for early diagnosis.

Lifestyle of modern first-grade children
Abstract
This article explores the lifestyle of children entering first grade and its influence on the process of school adaptation. The beginning of former education is associated with significant changes in a child's daily routine, physical activity, and emotional well-being. Based on a parent survey, common issues were identified, such as irregular routines, insufficient physical activity, unbalanced diet, lack of necessary rest, and emotional discomfort. Although parents generally recognize the importance of a healthy lifestyle, its consistent implementation is often lacking. The findings underscore the need for enhanced educational and preventive efforts aimed at parents and children to support the development of healthy habits, improve adaptation to school, and promote overall well-being.

Natural colonization of periodontal epithelial cells in patients with mental illnesses
Abstract
Introduction. According to the World Health Organization, 970 million people in the world suffer from various mental illnesses, the manifestations of which often include a decrease in cognitive function and compliance. These factors lead to a deterioration in the level of oral hygiene, high intensity of dental caries and inflammatory periodontal diseases. Natural colonization of normal oral microbiota on periodontal epithelial cells, reflecting the ability of epithelial cells to microbial adhesion, is a sensitive indicator of various destabilizing processes. The level of natural colonization of the gingival epithelium is the degree of contamination of epithelial cells with bacterial cells. Objective of the study: to assess the rate of natural colonization of periodontal epithelial cells in patients with mental illness. Materials and methods of research. The study involved 135 male patients with mental illness and placed in psychoneurological boarding schools in Arkhangelsk. The colonization of epithelial cells was assessed by cytological analysis. The median (Me [Q1, Q3]) was assessed as descriptive statistics. Differences in continuous variables were assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Study results. The average value of the natural colonization of periodontal epithelial cells among subjects with mental illness was 3 [2;4]. The frequency of each indicator in the group of subjects was as follows: indicator 1 occurred in 14.8% of cases, 2 - 32.7%, 3 - 25.7%, and 4 - 26.8%. Conclusion. Thus, the natural colonization of epithelial cells in most subjects corresponded to the average level of 3 [2;4], and a high level was observed in more than a quarter of subjects (26.8%). Such indicators indicate that patients with mental illness have a reduced protective function and resistance of epithelial cells, which leads to increased adhesion of bacteria, mainly cocci, to the cell wall.

Awareness of students of Vitebsk State Medical University about risk factors of breast cancer
Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the key problems of modern oncology, and the prognosis of overall and event-free survival of patients depends on its early diagnosis. The vastness and heterogeneity of sources of information about this disease in the modern information field creates a contradictory opinion about the risk factors affecting the development of breast cancer, symptoms and diagnostic methods. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the sources of information about breast cancer and the degree of trust in them among students of the Vitebsk State Medical University and participants without medical education. As a result, it was found that both medical students and respondents with non-medical specialties have a fairly high trust in unofficial sources of information, such as family, friends and social networks. Also, an insignificant number of respondents receive information about breast cancer from medical information campaigns, such as "pink October" and others, which may indicate an insufficient number and quality of activities.

The role of tau protein and β-amyloid in Alzheimer's disease, biochemistry of prion proteins
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains one of the most acute problems of modern medicine: according to WHO, about 55 million people worldwide live with dementia, with AD accounting for 60-70% of cases. Despite many years of research, there are no effective treatments that can stop or reverse neurodegeneration. Existing drugs, such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, only temporarily alleviate the symptoms without affecting the progression of the disease. This highlights the need for an in-depth study of the molecular mechanisms of AD, among which β-amyloid (Aß) and tau protein play a key role. The relevance of studying their interaction is due to the incompleteness of the classical "amyloid hypothesis", which does not explain all aspects of pathogenesis, including the dissociation between the accumulation of amyloid plaques and clinical manifestations. The growing attention to tau pathology as a driver of neurodegeneration requires a revision of the role of Aß in the context of synergy with tau protein. In addition, the concept of prion-like propagation of pathological proteins, which combines the mechanisms of AD and prion diseases, has been gaining momentum in recent years. The study of prion protein biochemistry (PrP) in the context of AD opens up new horizons for understanding the universal patterns of neurodegeneration. The ability of Aß and tau proteins to self-replicate aggregation, resembling prion processes, indicates common pathways of proteotoxicity. This creates the basis for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies aimed not only at individual proteins, but also at the mechanisms of their interaction, conformational stability and intercellular transmission.

Using the method of ordinal logistic regression in the search for predictors of the severity of joint hypermobility syndrome
Abstract
Progression of joint hypermobility into joint hypermobility syndrome without timely diagnosis can lead to patient disability. The aim of the study was to use the ordinal logistic regression technique for more effective identification of joint hypermobility syndrome severity predictors. Materials and methods. A database analysis was performed with a sample of patients aged 18 to 50 years with signs of joint hypermobility, divided into 3 groups according to the severity of the Beighton scale. Using descriptive statistics, as well as the ordinal logistic regression method, 52 potential predictors were assessed on their impact on the severity of joint hypermobility. Results. The following signs were statistically significant in the progression of the severity of hypermobility (p < 0.05, OR > 1) according to the results of two analysis methods: velvety skin, blue tint of the sclera, winged scapulae. Conclusion. The revealed signs can be potential predictors of the severity of joint hypermobility along with the classic "minor" criteria, which is important for preventing disability. The ordinal logistic regression method used to identify them is promising in further studies of phenotypic features of progressive hypermobility.

Assessment of the autonomic nervous system in women of childbearing age with anemia in pelvic inflammatory diseases
Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is often noted in women of childbearing age, according to the authors [1,2] from 50 to 85% of cases. This is due to a number of reasons, namely, the presence of various gynecological diseases: menstrual disorders, manifested in the form of heavy menstruation, the volume of which exceeds 80 ml3 per cycle, pelvic inflammatory diseases, uterine fibroids, endometrial hyperplastic processes, and others [3]. The symptoms of IDA can resemble many diseases and its diagnosis can be difficult, which requires additional research methods. We have noted that in women of childbearing age, the diagnosis of somatoform dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ADHD) is most often observed in concomitant pathology. The purpose of our work was to evaluate the nature of the activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) using the Kerdo and Hildebrant indices in women of childbearing age with anemia in chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases. Research methods. 39 women (from 19 to 45 years old) with normal and abundant menstruation were examined, a detailed history of somatic and gynecological diseases was collected, clinical and biochemical blood tests were analyzed, blood pressure (blood pressure), heart rate (heart rate), BH (respiratory rate), Hildebrantz and Kerdo indices were assessed.. Results. In the group of patients with heavy menstruation, IDA was diagnosed, while the Kerdo index and the Hildebrandt index were within the physiological range, the Kerdo index was shifted towards sympathicotonia, the Hildebrandt index was closer to the upper limit of the norm outside of exacerbation, heavy menstruation and verified IDA, the Kerdo index and the Hildebrandt index are within physiological norms. At the same time, the symptom complex of IDA took on the "mask" of ADHD.

Screening students for excess body weight
Abstract
Introduction. The problem of obesity in the modern world has reached epidemic proportions, affecting not only the adult population, but also an increasing number of children and adolescents. This phenomenon is of serious concern, since obesity at an early age can have far-reaching consequences for health [1]. Despite the growing prevalence, the problem of diagnosing obesity in adolescents remains relevant. Often the diagnosis is made too late, and it is not always possible to timely identify the risk factors predisposing to the development of this condition. Understanding the risk factors is a key point in the prevention of obesity [2]. In adolescence, many factors contribute to weight gain, including genetic predisposition, lifestyle and nutrition. Lack of physical activity is also a significant risk factor.

Dyspeptic syndrome in acute infections in children: parents vs doctors
Abstract
Despite the fact that at the present stage of the development of medicine, many symptoms are familiar to everyone, there are many diseases remain, which in time become a problem for people who are not related to the medical community. The reason for this is not only the insufficient awareness of many parents (and in this report we are talking about symptoms, which are manifested in children and, therefore, should be recognized by parents), but also the difficulty of identifying symptoms and its faithful interpretation by people who do not have a special education. Dyspeptic syndrome is one of the most common and nonspecific symptom complexes accompanying diseases in children, especially at a younger age. Alimentary causes, infections, a digestive, nervous, endocrine systems, etc. can cause such symptoms, and others. The syndrome can be independently stopped, but in some cases leads to severe complications. Therefore, parents often incorrectly interpret the symptoms, and their subsequent actions ,when trying to self -medicate are significantly different from the recommendations of doctors and may turn out to be dangerous to the child’s health. The purpose of this study is to study in a comparative aspect of the tactics of parents' behavior in the event of a dyspepsia syndrome in a child with an algorithm of actions recommended by doctors to assess the awareness of parents. The method chosen as part of the work is a survey conducted among 87 parents who applied for medical care about the dyspeptic syndrome, as well as among 12 doctors - on diagnostic and therapeutic tactics in this symptoms in children. Results. The average age of the respondents was 31.6 years (from 20 to 55 years) , and the age of their children is 7.4 years ( from 9 months to 16 years). 70.1% of respondents have higher education, and 11.5% are medical. Conclusion:Parents are aware of the “red flags” of the dyspeptic syndrome and the basic principles of its treatment, however, the severity of the condition of the child is often underestimated, the practice of self -medication, which differs from the recommendations of doctors. This situation requires increasing the informing of parents about the features of the diagnostic and therapeutic approach when detecting dyspeptic syndrome.

Epidemiological study of pelvic organ prolapse: results and prospects
Abstract
Despite medical advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, the problem of pelvic organ prolapse remains relevant today. The share of this pathology in the structure of gynecological diseases accounts for up to 28% [1]. With increasing life expectancy, the incidence of the disease increases, 41% of women aged 50-79 years suffer from pelvic organ prolapse, and the prevalence of the disease increases by 40% with each subsequent decade of life [2]. The main purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive epidemiological analysis to determine the age characteristics of patients suffering from pelvic organ prolapses, as well as to assess the severity of this pathological condition in the study sample. Materials and methods. To solve these tasks, we used the analysis of data obtained as a result of a study of 249 medical histories of patients who received surgical care for pelvic organ prolapse of varying degrees in the Department of Gynecology No. 2 of the M.N.Sadykov State Medical University No. 7 in Kazan in 2024. Results. Surgical correction of the pelvic floor was performed in patients aged 32 to 92 years. The largest number of patients are in the age group from 60 to 70 years (98 people, 39%), the smallest number of patients in the age group from 30 to 40 years (15 people, 6%). There were approximately the same number of women in the age groups of 50-60 and over 70 years (50 people, 20% and 58 people, 23%, respectively). The largest number of operations were performed for third-degree pelvic organ prolapse (148 cases, 59%). Conclusions. The results of the analysis of our data prove the worldwide statistics that the prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse increases with age. We also note that surgical treatment is already provided for the third degree of pathology, which may indicate the lack of timely diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease progression.

Evaluation of the effect of two weeks of stress on heart rate variability in Wistar rats
Abstract
The new environment, being a stressful factor, affects the behavior of rats, which can be studied using techniques of an elevated cross-shaped maze and an open field. In response to the effects of stress factors, a set of response processes is triggered in the body, in which neuro-humoral regulatory mechanisms are actively involved, which can be assessed by analyzing heart rate variability (HRV). A comprehensive study of HRV and behavioral characteristics can make it possible to assess the overall functional capabilities of the body. The aim. Evaluation of correlations between behavior indicators and heart rate variability in Wistar rats of both sexes. Materials and methods. The research work was carried out on 50 animals (25 rats of each sex). The recording of cardiac signals was carried out using the Physiobelt system. An elevated cross-shaped maze and an open field were used to evaluate the behavior. Results. The paper presents reliable correlations of behavioral characteristics and indicators of heart rate variability, taking into account the sex of animals, significant differences in behavioral characteristics between male and female rats were revealed. Conclusions. In the course of the study, reliable HRV indicators were identified that were predictive of the level of emotional and motor activity. Female Wistar rats have higher rates of exploratory, motor, and locomotor activity than males.

Pollution of air in the working area with fine particles during operation of office printers in the Federal Budgetary Institution of Health "Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Voronezh Region"
Abstract
This article examines the impact of office printer operation on air pollution caused by fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) in various departments of the Federal Budgetary Healthcare Institution "Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Voronezh Region." The study aims to assess the concentration of fine dust during standard and intensive printing, as well as to develop recommendations for reducing its levels. Measurements revealed that under standard printing conditions, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations do not exceed sanitary limits. However, during intensive printing, a short-term increase in particle concentrations was observed, especially in rooms with insufficient ventilation. The highest levels of pollution were recorded in the Sample Reception and Coding Department (PM2.5 – 0.015±0.002 mg/m³, PM10 – 0.025±0.002 mg/m³), which is associated with high printing intensity and the simultaneous use of multiple printers.
The article proposes measures to improve ventilation, evenly distribute printer workload, and ensure regular maintenance of printing equipment, all of which can help reduce fine particulate concentrations in workplace air.

The problem of using genetically modified foods at the present stage
Abstract
The relevance of the study is due to the importance of studying the impact of genetically modified foods on public health. Any developed state sets itself the task of ensuring the country's food security by prioritizing its own production. Livestock and crop production raw materials and products made from them should provide adequate nutrition to the population.
The aim of the work was to study the problem of the use of genetically modified foods in the nutrition of the population, their laboratory diagnostics and informing the public about the presence of transgenic compounds in the products. The research included a retrospective analysis of laboratory tests performed by the testing laboratory center of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Voronezh Region for 2021-2023, standard statistical methods of data analysis were applied in comparison with the results for the Russian Federation. The results showed that the introduction of new genes into plants using gene recombination technology raises important safety issues and risks when used in food. The level of laboratory diagnostics of GMOs in products is low, and consumer information during food labeling is at a low level.

Assessment of Manageability of Health Risks for Students Exposed to Tobacco Smoke and Nicotine Vapor
Abstract
Preserving the health of the younger generation is a priority area of national public health policy. One of the most pressing threats to adolescent health remains exposure to tobacco smoke and, in recent years, to nicotine vapor produced by the use of electronic cigarettes and vapes. According to the WHO, vaping is rapidly spreading among young people, while the risks associated with its use are still insufficiently studied, especially in comparison with traditional tobacco smoking. This situation requires a systematic approach to assessing and managing these risks.
The aim of this study is to assess the probability of adverse health effects in students exposed to tobacco smoke and nicotine vapor, and to analyze the potential for managing the identified risks.
Materials and Methods: The study involved 100 senior school students from Voronezh. Methods included a questionnaire survey, self-assessment of health, and a software tool based on the guidelines MR 2.1.10.0033-11 for assessing lifestyle-related health risks.
Results showed a high prevalence of both tobacco smoking (41%) and vaping (27%) among adolescents. A significant proportion of students reported dual use. Reliable correlations were established between the use of nicotine products and respiratory symptoms, as well as the expected age of onset of chronic diseases. The nicotine load among vapers was comparable to that of smokers (6–14 mg versus 12–18 mg per day). Dual users exhibited the most pronounced symptoms, such as bronchospasm, dry cough, tachycardia, and reduced physical endurance. Tobacco smoke and nicotine vapor are considered manageable health risk factors. Their impact can be mitigated through preventive programs that include education, individual support, and social restrictions.

The impact of screen color on the concentration and sustained attention of students during monotonous tasks
Abstract
The relevance of the study is due to the importance of examining the impact of screen color characteristics on human cognitive functions, particularly in the context of modern digital interaction, where the question of optimizing conditions for maintaining concentration and sustained attention remains insufficiently explored. The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of different screen color schemes (yellow, green, and blue) on students' attention performance during monotonous tasks, with the hypothesis that green and blue colors would enhance concentration more effectively compared to yellow. The study involved students aged 18–22 from the Medical and Preventive Care Faculty and utilized the Bourdon proofreading test, statistical data analysis methods (Shapiro-Wilk test, ANOVA, correlation analysis), as well as standardized screen brightness conditions to minimize external factors. The results showed that the highest levels of concentration were achieved with a blue screen (up to 97%), while the stability indicator reached its maximum with a green screen (up to 1225 units). The yellow screen proved to be the least effective, causing a decline in both concentration and attention stability. Average values confirmed the advantage of the blue color for concentration (71.9%) and green for stability (253.69). Despite the lack of statistically significant differences between groups, likely due to the limited sample size, correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between concentration and attention stability under the green screen condition (r = 0.76, p = 0.01). Thus, the study confirmed the hypothesis regarding the benefits of green and blue colors for sustaining cognitive functions and highlighted the negative impact of the yellow screen, which can inform recommendations for optimizing interface color settings in educational and professional environments.

Biological stimulation of the anterior abdominal wall tissues in an experiment with postoperative ventral hernias
Abstract
The problem of postoperative ventral hernias (POVH) in herniology still remains relevant. According to the literature, the formation of a postoperative ventral hernia after a planned surgical intervention in the volume of laparotomy occurs in 10% of patients, while in emergency cases, in at least 30% of cases [1,2]. Installation of a mesh implant in the retromuscular space in the sublay position, both in the open version (Rives-Stoppa operation, TAR, etc.) and in the minimally invasive (laparoscopic, robotic eTEP RS) is currently the most preferable in the surgical treatment of POVH due to the lower risk of recurrence [3,4].

Heterogeneity and plasticity of the spine apparatus
Abstract
Introduction. Dendritic spines are stalk-like outgrowths on the surface of dendrites that function as a postsynaptic component of a neuronal synapse. These structures are able to change their morphofunctional characteristics in response to synaptic activity, which underlies the phenomenon of plasticity and is crucial for learning and memory processes. Relevance. Today, dendritic spines are key structures that ensure synaptic transmission and plasticity of neuronal connections. The spine apparatus ensures normal brain development, functioning, and aging of the brain, but the slightest “non-standard” changes in its structure are associated with behavioral and cognitive disorders, as well as neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. Due to the active study of the nature of these disorders and the changes that occur in the body, it is more important than ever to highlight the issue of heterogeneity and plasticity of dendritic spines. The aim of this research work is to analyze and compare the existing methods of morphofunctional study of dendritic spines, including traditional morphometric methods and a decision tree-based digital classification algorithm, as well as to characterize the changes in morphology and density of dendritic spines in various pathological conditions. Materials and methods. Analysis of domestic and foreign publications, systematization of data, comparative analysis of data. The obtained data emphasize the importance of detailed dendritic spine studies for developing new diagnostic strategies to identify neurodegenerative disorders.

The specifics of skin regeneration depending on the nature of damage (experimental study)
Abstract
n this research paper, we studied the features of skin regeneration in rats (in particular, the rate) depending on the nature of the wound: aseptic, infected, thermal and chemical(acid and alkaline) burns.The experiment was conducted on 20 male outbred white rats for 45 days. During the study, external examination of animals, measurement of the area of skin wounds and photodocumentation of animals were carried out daily. After processing the obtained data and analyzing them, the results were entered into the table for further charting in order to track the dynamics of wound healing.The results showed that all wounds underwent stages of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.Differences in the rate and other features of regeneration were found depending on the wound etiology.Aseptic wounds healed faster than others — 14 days; infected wounds-30 days, recovery was accompanied by the appearance of foci of inflammation over the entire surface of the rat body; acid burn-36 days; thermal and alkaline burns (41 days and 42 days, respectively) showed the slowest regeneration.The study showed a relationship between the healing rate and the nature of the wound, which emphasizes the need for a differentiated approach to the treatment of skin injuries.

Age-related changes in microRNA let-7 expression in the dorsomedial and ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei of rats
Abstract
Aging is accompanied by complex changes in the regulation of metabolic processes, with hypothalamic structures, including its tuberal nuclei, playing a key role. Modern science pays particular attention to studying epigenetic mechanisms of aging, among which microRNAs occupy an important place. However, their role in age-related changes in the functional activity of hypothalamic neurons remains insufficiently studied.
The aim. o investigate age-related changes in microRNA let-7 expression in the dorsomedial (DMH) and ventromedial (VMH) hypothalamic nuclei and evaluate their effect on neuronal activity.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted on two age groups of male Wistar rats (young - 2 months and old - 24 months). Modern molecular biological methods were used: fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and quantitative RT-PCR to assess let-7 expression, as well as electrophysiological methods for recording neuronal activity.
Results. A significant (5-fold, p<0.05) decrease in let-7 expression was found in the DMH of old animals compared to young ones, while no significant changes were detected in the VMH. At the same time, modulation of let-7 activity did not lead to significant changes in neuronal firing rate.
Conclusions. The obtained data indicate an age-dependent decrease in let-7 expression in the DMH, which may be important for understanding the mechanisms of neuroendocrine regulation during aging. Further research in this direction may contribute to the development of new approaches to correcting age-related metabolic disorders.

Perinatal outcomes in pregnancy complicated by early manifestation of GDM
Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common pathology of pregnancy and poses a serious problem, increasing the frequency of undesirable pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus. According to the International Diabetes Federation, the prevalence of hyperglycemia in pregnant women is about 15.8%, of which 83.6% of cases were associated with GDM. Early diagnosis in order to adequately correct glycemia plays a significant role in maintaining the health of mother and child, but the initial manifestations of GDM are mostly latent and can only be detected through targeted screening, so the issue of optimizing diagnosis is very relevant at the present time.

Analysis of the Statistical Distribution of Mortality Causes in Road Accidents in Tver and Tver Region: Key Risk Factors and Dynamics of Changes
Abstract
Road traffic accidents (RTAs) remain one of the most acute social problems in Tver and Tver Region. In 2020, there were 1836 RTAs in Tver Region, resulting in 191 fatalities and 2267 injuries. In 2024, the number of RTAs decreased to 1423, with 250 fatalities and 1755 injuries. Despite a trend towards reducing the number of RTAs (a decrease of 22.49% in 2024 compared to 2020), the number of fatalities and injuries remains high. The main causes of accidents are driving under the influence of alcohol, crossing into the oncoming lane, and pedestrian collisions. The purpose of this systematic literature review was to determine how the statistical causes of mortality in RTAs are distributed. The study included searching and analyzing sources found in PubMed, eLIBRARY, and Cyberleninka databases. The results showed that people die in RTAs due to various reasons, ranging from delayed first aid to remote complications. In conclusion, the analysis of the statistical distribution of mortality causes in RTAs in Russia allowed identifying key risk factors and tracing the dynamics of changes. The data confirm that the main causes of death remain speeding, driving under the influence, poor road conditions, and low discipline among road users.

Assessment of the interrelation of factors affecting the health of students
Abstract
The problem of health preservation among students is multifaceted and requires a comprehensive solution by various specialists. Objective. To assess the factors influencing students' health preservation. Materials and methods. The factors were studied using survey data from 800 second- and fifth-year students of VSMU and VSPU. The respondents were 100 young men and women from each year and university. The questionnaire included 49 questions covering specific categories with assigned points, according to which each group was divided into three subgroups. For a comprehensive assessment of health preservation factors, the indicator of which was BMI, statistical processing of the results was carried out. Graphs were constructed illustrating the pairwise correlation of two categories on the BMI of young men and women from both universities. Results. The factors influencing students' health preservation can be divided into several key categories. Each of them plays an important role in shaping the physical, mental and social well-being of respondents. Comparing the obtained data, we can note a significant difference in the relationship between BMI and the characteristics of the two categories for respondents from VSMU and VSPU. The type of response surface (convex and concave) depends on the data of the average risk group - for VSPU students they are more strongly associated with BMI - it is in the "green" zone, and for doctors the situation is the opposite: the data of respondents from the average risk group - negatively correlate with BMI, which tends to "red", unacceptable values. Conclusion. The data of all four categories correlate with BMI: the positive is in the green area of the response surfaces, and the negative is in the red.

The impact of depressive episodes on the quality of life of overweight adolescents
Abstract
Being overweight is a common problem in our country and in the world. Childhood obesity can have a negative impact not only on physical well-being, but also on the psychoemotional state of the child [1]. Obese children often have various psychological problems due to peer criticism and difficulties in social adaptation. The spectrum of psychoemotional disorders in obese children includes conditions such as low self-esteem, lack of positive emotions, high anxiety, depressive episodes, and the use of food as an antidepressant [2, 3]. Identifying depressive episodes in a child is one of the important tasks, since depression not only worsens the somatic manifestations of the disease, but can also contribute to the formation of suicidal behavior, which directly threatens the child's life. In addition, the presence of depression leads to the development of compensatory strategies to combat this condition, often associated with the "jamming" of negative emotions. The presence of depressive episodes and the assessment of their impact on children's quality of life play a significant role in an integrated approach to obesity therapy. The aim of the work is to establish the presence of depressive episodes and assess their impact on the quality of life of overweight adolescents. Materials and methods of research. The survey method was used in the study. 55 children aged 10 to 18 years (average age 14±2 years) who were treated in the gastroendocrinology department of the Ivanovo Regional Clinical Hospital were interviewed. The presence of depressive symptoms in adolescents was determined using the Depression Self-Rating Scale (DSRS). The children's quality of life was determined using the KJOMS-20 questionnaire. The results of the study. In the group of obese children, depressive episodes were diagnosed in 12% of people. The main manifestations of a depressive episode in the children surveyed are: depressed mood most of the day (9%), increased irritability or unreasonable emotional agitation (9%), unreasonable feelings of self-condemnation and excessive guilt (9%), a noticeable decrease or increase in appetite and weight loss or increase (more than 2 kg in the last month) (9%), as well as indecision and internal hesitation when making decisions (9%). The correlation analysis of the impact of depressive episodes on the quality of life of adolescents reflects the negative impact, first of all, on psychological and social adaptation (r= 0.85). Conclusion. 1. Overweight adolescents have a decrease in their quality of life, which is more pronounced in obese patients, as evidenced by a decrease in their indicators of physical health and psychosocial adaptation. 2. 12% of obese children have depressive episodes. 3. The negative impact of depressive episodes on the quality of life of adolescents, mainly on psychological and social adaptation, has been revealed. 4. The presence of depressive symptoms should be taken into account when forming individual rehabilitation programs for overweight children.

Genetic predisposition to cervical cancer
Abstract
Resume. Introduction. Statistics and relevance. The state in Russia. In 2023, cervical cancer ranked 9th among all tumors in men and women (4.5%). In women, it has become the 3rd most common among tumors of the reproductive system, second only to breast cancer and cancer of the uterine body. The average age of the patients over the last decade was 52 years. In the age group under 35, breast cancer was first detected in 46.88% of women. At the age of 35-44 years - 35.25%, in the perimenopausal period (45-54 years) — 18.49%, and in the postmenopausal period (after 55 years) — 18.59%. Mortality from cervical cancer is 12.7%, ovarian cancer — 16.7%, uterine body - 7.0%, breast — 4.4%. Goal. To investigate specific genes regulating the process of cervical cancer. To consider the epigenetic mechanisms influencing the occurrence and development of cervical cancer.Materials and methods of research. Search for scientific articles in the PubMed database.Results. The presence of genetic risks of developing this disease significantly increases the likelihood of its occurrence compared to those who do not have such risks. Without infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), these risks are not realized. Conclusions. Breast cancer is a serious disease that can be fatal in young women. Identifying genetic factors that affect the likelihood of developing cervical cancer plays an important role in maintaining the health and life of many women.

Principles and Components of Resuscitation Damage Control: scoping-review
Abstract
The introduction to the problem of managing patients with polytrauma complicated by massive bleeding highlights the relevance of the concept of resuscitation damage control (RDC) as a set of strategies aimed at improving outcomes. The aim of this systematic literature review was to systematize current understanding of the principles and key components of RDC based on an analysis of scientific publications over the past five years (2017-2022). The study included a search and analysis of 82 relevant sources from 309 initially found in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, eLIBRARY.ru, and Cyberleninka databases. The results showed that massive crystalloid infusion is not optimal, giving way to a strategy of small volumes and controlled hypotension. The importance of early balanced blood component transfusion and the expediency of using tranexamic acid (TXA) at the prehospital stage were confirmed. The significance of viscoelastic methods such as thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) for the diagnosis of trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) was noted. In conclusion, it is emphasized that RDC is a multicomponent approach requiring further research to optimize individual elements.
Introduction. The management of patients with polytrauma complicated by massive bleeding remains one of the most critical challenges in modern disaster and emergency medicine. The concept of damage control resuscitation (DCR) was developed to improve survival rates in this severely injured patient population. DCR encompasses a set of interrelated strategies aimed at rapidly addressing life-threatening conditions, such as ongoing hemorrhage and coagulopathy, followed by definitive surgical correction. However, given the dynamic evolution of medical knowledge and technologies, the components and tactical approaches of DCR require regular revision and updates based on current scientific evidence. This systematic literature review analyzes recent studies on DCR published over the past five years. The objective is to synthesize current knowledge on the key principles and components of DCR to optimize treatment approaches for polytrauma patients with massive bleeding. The findings of this review may contribute to refining clinical guidelines and protocols for managing such patients across various stages of care.Aim: To evaluate the structure of recent literature on "damage control resuscitation" and conduct a qualitative analysis of publications across its key themes.Materials and Methods. A systematic scoping review was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Relevant publications were searched in electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, eLIBRARY.ru, Cyberleninka) from 2017 to 2022. Inclusion criteria covered studies addressing various aspects of DCR in polytrauma patients. Out of 309 identified sources, 82 publications met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed.
Results. The literature analysis revealed key directions in the evolution of DCR strategies. It was established that massive crystalloid infusion is not optimal for initial fluid resuscitation due to the potential risks of dilutional coagulopathy and hyperchloremic acidosis. Modern guidelines favor low-volume infusion and controlled hypotension to maintain perfusion of vital organs without excessive dilution of clotting factors [1]. Strong evidence supports early balanced transfusion of blood components (plasma:platelets:red blood cells in a 1:1:1 ratio) to correct trauma-induced coagulopathy. Whole blood transfusion is considered a promising alternative, particularly in resource-limited settings or military medicine [2]. Significant emphasis is placed on the early administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) within the first three hours post-injury, including the prehospital phase, to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements [3]. Viscoelastic hemostatic assays, such as thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), play a critical role in diagnosing trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) phenotypes and monitoring hemostatic therapy efficacy [4]. Additionally, the analysis highlighted hypocalcemia as a significant yet often underestimated risk factor for adverse outcomes in severe trauma, warranting further investigation [5].Conclusion. Damage control resuscitation represents a comprehensive and dynamically evolving strategy for managing polytrauma patients with massive bleeding. Modern DCR approaches include restricted crystalloid infusion, controlled hypotension principles, early balanced blood component (or whole blood) transfusion, mandatory use of tranexamic acid, monitoring and correction of TIC using viscoelastic assays (TEG/ROTEM), and management of metabolic disturbances, including hypocalcemia. Further research is required to optimize individual DCR components and improve outcomes in polytrauma patients.

"Consumer extremism" in the Russian healthcare sector
Abstract
Medical professionals often become "victims" of consumer extremism. This phenomenon first appeared in the United States in the second half of the 19th century and spread throughout Europe. Lawyers began to look for gaps in the legislation, suing service and sales workers, including medical workers. Currently, "consumer (patient) extremism" is beginning to spread to domestic healthcare, which leads, among other things, to a shortage of personnel: future specialists do not go to work in their specialty after training, other young people do not enroll in medical educational organizations because they see disrespect for medical professionals on the part of patients. A new bill is needed that would regulate the relationship between the patient and the medical organization and protect not only patients, but also medical professionals. Students of KSMU were interviewed during an anonymous sociological survey. More than 90% of respondents are familiar with this phenomenon and the majority are confident that they will be able to protect themselves if they encounter "patient extremism" in their future professional activities. Respondents support the idea of introducing a law that would regulate the relationship between patients and medical professionals and protect them from extremist patients who want to benefit financially from medical organizations. The media should also highlight and emphasize the positive aspects of the health system. With an integrated approach, it is possible to significantly reduce the number of cases of "patient extremism" in Russia, thereby improving the quality and safety of medical care provided to the population.

Characterisation of changes in the expression of the Eda2r gene under the influence of metformin in different tissues of the aged rat
Abstract
The study of molecular mechanisms underlying aging and the action of geroprotective agents represents a highly relevant area of biomedical research. This work investigates the effects of intragastric administration of metformin (35 and 70 mg/kg) on the expression of the Eda2r gene in various tissues of aged Wistar rats of both sexes. Gene expression analysis was performed using real-time PCR in 10 tissue types (brain, muscle, adipose tissue, liver, heart) and whole blood following 30-days of treatment. In male rats, metformin at a dose of 35 mg/kg induced a 30-fold increase in Eda2r expression in the quadriceps femoris muscle, whereas in females a 7-fold decrease was observed at a dose of 70 mg/kg. Additionally, a significant reduction in Eda2r expression was detected in the cardiac tissue of females. Sex-specific differences in Eda2r expression were observed both in control groups and in response to metformin, along with distinct tissue-specific coexpression patterns. These findings suggest that Eda2r is involved in tissue- and sex-specific regulation under aging conditions and highlight its potential as a molecular marker in gerontological research.

Peculiarities of occurrence of emergency situations among personnel of oncology dispensary
Abstract
One of the serious and significant problems in the healthcare sector is emergency situations that medical workers encounter in the course of their professional activities, which can negatively affect their health. As part of solving this problem, we analyzed the structures, causes and factors of emergency situations among medical workers of the oncology dispensary when performing work tasks.The sources of data for the work were: logs of emergency situations during medical manipulations, reports on emergency situations, acts on medical accidents in the institution.The results of our study showed that over a five-year period, 51 emergency situations were registered among medical workers of the oncology dispensary. The largest number of cases are associated with punctures with sharp instruments, namely, a suture surgical needle during surgical interventions, and doctors and nursing staff were at risk. Patients who became sources of emergency situations that could have caused the infection of medical personnel with parenteral infections had concomitant diagnoses such as: chronic viral hepatitis B/carriage of HbsAg, chronic viral hepatitis C/carriage of antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, HIV infection. Due to the competent actions of employees, with a significant risk of infection by blood-borne infections, infection did not occur. Periodic safety briefings for personnel, training in occupational infection issues, the use of personal protective equipment, the implementation of the appropriate amount of assistance provided to the victim in an emergency, dispensary observation within the established timeframes, vaccination against hepatitis B, timely treatment, as well as antiretroviral therapy - reduces the risk of infection of medical workers with blood-borne infections.

Analysis of the causes of NSR calls to children under 5 years of age and the literacy of their parents in providing them with first aid in emergency situations
Abstract
The study is important because of the high rate of children seeking emergency care. Parents facing emergency situations should know how to provide first aid, which affects the outcome of injuries and acute conditions. The aim is to study the frequency of calls for children under 5 years of age and to assess the literacy level of the parents of these children in providing them with first aid. Materials and methods. A survey of 68 parents of children under 5 in the Moscow region using 18 questions. Methods of survey and statistical data processing were used. The results obtained. In 11 months of 2024, the ambulance service performed 54,449 visits to children under 5 years of age. Almost half of them are for infants, one third for young children, and one in five calls are for children aged 4-5 years. The main reasons for the complaints were high fever, digestive and respiratory disorders, as well as injuries. The most frequent calls came from parents of newborns and infants with fever and dyspepsia, from young children with respiratory disorders, and from children 4-5 years old with dyspepsia. Injuries, impaired consciousness, and seizures were observed equally in all age groups. Respondents: 80.9% of women, aged 18-40, with children under 5 years old. 75% consider themselves well-informed about first aid. However, only 22.1% know how to deal with a cut wound. At high temperatures, 69.1% are antipyretic, but only 16.1% are analgesic. More than half act incorrectly with nosebleeds and fainting, incorrectly assessing the importance of information about the consequences of an error (53.9%). Conclusions. Parents underestimate their own awareness in the field of first aid and need reliable information. The need to develop a booklet on first aid for parents before the ambulance arrives increases the relevance of the topic.

Multimodal prehabilitation in the treatment of patients with breast cancer
Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) remains a key oncologic pathology among women, accompanied by significant treatment side effects such as fatigue, lymphedema and reduced quality of life. Despite advances in therapies (adjuvant, targeted, immunotherapy), preserving patients' quality of life remains an urgent challenge. In this context, prehabilitation - a set of measures to improve functional reserves before treatment - is considered as a promising direction. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the prehabilitation program in female patients with breast cancer. The study involved 25 women 55-60 years old divided into two groups: the main group (12 people) underwent two weeks of prehabilitation (aerobic and strength training, balance training, psychological support) before treatment and four weeks of rehabilitation after; the control group received only rehabilitation. Assessment included anthropometric parameters, PWC170 test, WHO and Nottingham Health Profile questionnaires. The results showed that 40% of the patients in the main group had improved physical performance after prehabilitation. They also had less severe symptoms of asthenia, improved mood and physical mobility compared to the control group. Conclusions. Prehabilitation programs including aerobic and strength training exercises, psychological support and educational components effectively increase functional reserves of breast cancer patients, reduce the risk of complications and improve quality of life. Integration of prehabilitation into clinical practice may become an important stage of preparation for aggressive treatment methods.

Monitoring of adherence to psychopharmacotherapy during the first episode of psychosis at inpatient and outpatient stages
Abstract
Adherence to psychopharmacotherapy is a key factor in determining the effectiveness of treatment for patients with their first episode of psychosis. Low levels of compliance are associated with an increased risk of relapse, hospitalization, and chronicity of the disorder. This emphasizes the need for systematic monitoring throughout all stages of care. In the context of psychotic disorders, it is becoming more relevant to take a differentiated approach to assessing and maintaining adherence in both inpatient and outpatient settings, considering the specific clinical, psychosocial, and organizational factors involved. The first episode of psychosis, such as the onset of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other psychotic conditions, presents a unique opportunity for intervention due to the high plasticity of neurobiological and psychological processes. This creates a "therapeutic window" in which remission can be achieved.. However, up to 50% of patients discontinue taking antipsychotic medications within the first year following diagnosis, due to various reasons, including a lack of understanding about the disease (anosognosia) and the occurrence of adverse events. Therefore, adherence monitoring should be incorporated into clinical practice as an ongoing process tailored to the different stages of treatment.

The role of computed tomography in the diagnosis of complications of traumatic brain injury in children
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children has its own characteristics related to the anatomical and physiological properties of the child's body. The incompleteness of the ontogenetic formation of the brain determines the difference in the clinical manifestation of closed trauma in children in the acute and long-term periods. The consequences and outcomes of TBI can have different outcomes and impact on the quality of later life. Diagnosis of traumatic brain injuries helps to determine the degree of brain damage and choose the appropriate treatment method. This can improve treatment and rehabilitation outcomes, reduce the risk of complications, and ensure timely medical care and a better prognosis

Epidemiological features of traumatic brain injury in children in the Tver region and the importance of computed tomography in their diagnosis
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children has its own characteristics related to the anatomical and physiological properties of the child's body. Mild to moderate TBI in preschool children may be asymptomatic and erased. In the long-term period, the patient's condition may differ from the acute period. The consequences and outcomes of TBI can vary and affect children's health and the well-being of their later life. Diagnosis of craniocerebral injuries helps to determine the degree of brain damage and choose the appropriate treatment method. This can improve treatment and rehabilitation outcomes, reduce the risk of complications, and ensure timely medical care and a more favorable prognosis.

The role of systemic inflammation markers in predicting outcome in colorectal cancer
Abstract
The aim of the work is to evaluate the relationship between the overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer and markers of inflammation.Materials and methods of research. Based on the materials of the cancer registry of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan, the data of 232 patients with histologically verified colorectal cancer were retrospectively studied. The sample was carried out in 2017 to further study the 5- and 10-year survival rates of these patients. The criteria for inclusion in the study were: patients with intestinal adenocarcinoma T=>1N any M any. Exclusion criteria are the presence of acute inflammatory processes (abscesses, phlegmon), active bleeding in the last 6 months, congenital and acquired immunodeficiency (including HIV/AIDS). Indices of systemic inflammatory response were collected, calculated, and evaluated. Further, the data obtained were compared with each other. The research process included collecting, calculating, and evaluating indices of systemic inflammatory response in patients. The data obtained were analyzed and compared with each other to identify statistically significant relationships with overall survival rates. Statistical analysis was performed using the MedCalc v.20.104 program.The results of the study. There was a statistically significant inverse correlation of the NLR neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (P <0.0001, rho= -0.34, 95% CI: -0.450; -0.221) and the SII systemic inflammation index (P <0.0001, rho=-0.347 [-0.455; -0.228]) with the overall 5-year survival rate of patients with colorectal cancer. Thus, indicators of the systemic inflammatory response are parameters applicable in assessing the prognosis in patients with CRC. The study showed that changes in hematological parameters reflecting the severity of systemic immune inflammation and systemic inflammatory response in patients with colorectal cancer correlate with the prognosis of the disease.Conclusions. Despite the small number of patients, our study showed that elevated SII and NLR values are potential predictors of disease outcome in patients with colorectal cancer.

Experimental study of the features of skin regeneration after an alkali burn
Abstract
The article is devoted tomodeling of an alkaline burn on intact rat skin in an experiment.The aim of the study is to model andstudy the effect of alkali on the skin and the nature of burn wound healing.The methodological framework includesapplying a chemical substance, namely alkali, to the dorsal surface of the rat body, further taking biopsies of healing wounds with adjacent areas of intact skin, and preparing paraffin blocks for subsequent preparation of skin sections. The main results of the study were obtained by analyzing histological preparations that show a change in the regeneration phases from hemostasis to remodeling of the liver.In the experiment, blood was alsodrawn from the femoral vein for a thesiographic study. The data of the thesiographic method allowed us to reveal the evolution of the crystal shape from hemispherolites to spherulites, in which a progressive increase in the number of rays was observed at the stage of remodeling. Thus, during the experiment, skin regeneration was observed, during which three phases can be distinguished: inflammation of the skin, cell proliferation and their maturation. The burn sites and healing time of the skin surface were also studied in detail, with further assessment of the wound healing process.
