Features Of Anthropometric Indicators of The Spine and Body Mass Index in Children 4-7 Years Old Residing In The City Of Shirin And In Bayaut District Of Sirdarya Region
Get PDFAnthropometric studies of body mass index and spinal length in children were conducted and studied. Based on the results of the anthropometric examination, the differences in the results of the anthropometric examination of boys and girls aged 4-7 years living in rural and urban areas were analyzed. Based on these studies, the physical development of boys and girls aged 4–7 years living in urban areas was superior to the physical development of boys and girls aged 4–7 years living in rural areas
MRI Predictors Of Left Ventricle Diastolic Dysfunction
Get PDFNon-invasive assessment of diastolic dysfunction remains challenging, and this study aims to identify the most informative parameters of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for assessing left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) OBJECTIVE: To study MRI parameters as predictors of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with suspected heart failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study included 39 patients with CHF, 25 were men (61%), and the average age of patients was 48.12 ± 16.79 years. RESULTS. The enlarged LA dimensions have diagnostic accuracy according to our data for the detection of diastolic dysfunction (DD). Tissue tracking and tissue phase mapping (TRM) reveal impaired diastolic deformity of the basal-lateral wall in DD+ as a direct sign of DD
Markers Of Progression of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Get PDFChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a pressing problem in the modern world. Every year, COPD increasingly leads to temporary disability and death. This is why it is so important to predict the progression of COPD in time. Progression of the disease can lead to severe shortness of breath, frequent exacerbations of COPD, respiratory failure and death. This literature review examines radiological and functional markers, clinical manifestations, sputum and blood markers, and the lung microbiome. All of this may be useful for predicting the risk of COPD progression
Micronutrient Level Among Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Get PDFChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious health problem today. Every year there is an increase in the number of cases of COPD around the world, which is accompanied by a deterioration in the quality of life of patients, temporary loss of ability to work, and even death. Deficiencies of macro- and microelements are currently recognized by world medicine as a global problem. These conditions have a significant impact on the body, presenting an urgent need for the development of effective health strategies to address them. According to available data, nutritional deficiencies are quite common in patients with COPD. Numerous studies highlight the impact of micronutrient deficiencies on disease progression. Currently, the connection between bronchopulmonary diseases and low levels of vitamin D and magnesium in the body of patients is being actively studied. Insufficient outdoor activity, infrequent exposure to sunlight, poor diet, alcoholism, smoking, decreased ability of the skin to synthesize vitamin D in smokers, general exhaustion of the body, and the use of certain antibiotics can be the causes of low levels of vitamin D and magnesium. Many studies indicate that deficiencies of these elements may be associated with decreased lung function and increased exacerbations in COPD, which contributes to disease progression. Deficiency conditions, which often remain undiagnosed, can negatively affect the prognosis of the disease. This study identifies the incidence of low blood levels of vitamin D and magnesium and demonstrates the relationship between low levels of these elements and the severity of COP
Modern Methods of Studying the Problem of Benign Vascular Lesions of The Nasal Cavity: Methods of Assessment and Study of Influencing Factors
Get PDFVascular tumors make up 1-7% of benign neoplasms in humans. 60-80% of these tumors are located in the head. In childhood tumors, their development is more often associated with developmental anomalies or the presence of undifferentiated embryonic remnants in the child's body, which have a greater capacity for growth. In the early stages of development, benign neoplasms in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx usually manifest with minor nonspecific symptoms, which are often overlooked by both patients and doctors. Therefore, early diagnosis of benign tumors in these locations is of paramount importanc
The Impact Of Gastrointestinal Tract Pathology On The Development Of Inflammatory Periodontal Tissue Diseases
Get PDFThe article presents a scientific review of the interrelation between gastrointestinal tract (GIT) pathologies and the development of inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues. It examines how changes in the GIT, including dysfunctions of the immune and endocrine systems, affect the state of the periodontium, enhancing the development of diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Special attention is given to gastroduodenal diseases, their prevalence, and their impact on the periodontium. The significance of a comprehensive approach in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with periodontal diseases and GIT disorders is emphasized. The mechanisms of interaction between these systems are analyzed, including changes in microcirculation, endotoxicosis, and the role of neurohumoral regulation and psychosomatic factors. Data on the increased frequency of periodontitis in patients with GIT disorders are discussed, including disorders related to endocrine system functions, as in the case of type II diabetes. The influence of Helicobacter pylori infection on periodontal diseases is discussed, highlighting the need for an integrated medical approach in treatment. Clinical signs and problems associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and their impact on periodontal health are also presented. The article underscores the importance of considering these interrelations in medical practice for effective diagnosis and treatmen
Development Of Moderate Composition Of Complex Phytopards Based On Medicinal Plant Raw Materials
Get PDFThis article presents the results of research on the development of hemostat liquid extract and chlorhexidine bigluconate preservative, complex, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic properties of herbal extracts based on local plant raw materials. In particular, the necessary polymer auxiliary substance for the formation of phytoscreens was selected based on experiments, and its moderate concentration of plasticizer glycerin in the polymer mass was justified. Experiments were performed using one of the mathematical planning methods (Latin 3x3 square)
Breast ultrasound with elastography reduces the number of unnecessary biopsies
Get PDFUltrasound elastography (USE) is a tissue-stiffness-sensitive imaging technology that was first described in the 1990s. In recent years, it has been refined and refined to provide a quantitative assessment of tissue stiffness. Elastography techniques use altered elasticity of soft tissues as a result of certain pathological or physiological processes. For example, it is known that many solid tumors are mechanically distinct from the surrounding healthy tissues. Similarly, fibrosis associated with chronic liver disease causes the liver to become stiffer than normal tissue. Thus, elastography techniques can be used to differentiate diseased tissues from normal tissues for diagnostic purposes
Exploring effective methodologies in ESL education and the challenges of teaching English in a multilingual world.
Get PDFEach of these methodologies has its strengths and can be effective depending on the learners' needs, contexts, and goals. Many teachers adopt a blended approach, incorporating elements from multiple methodologies to create a dynamic and responsive learning environment. The key is to remain flexible and attuned to the needs of the students, fostering an engaging and supportive atmosphere for language acquisitio
