Immunogystochemical (Sd-138 Marker) Results Of Pathomorphological Changes In The Uterus When Drinking Energy Drinks Chronically Under Experimental Conditions
Get PDFIn this study, the experimental method examined the morphological changes that occur in uterine tissue and glands when white non-breeding rats are ingested in chronic energy drinks in an immunogystochemical manner. From micropreparations made from uterine tissue structures isolated from white non-breeding bats, immunogystochemical testing was performed using the CD-138 marker to produce data on the results obtained based on the degree of expression of the same marke
Forecasting HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years for Burundi using an exponential smoothing technique
Get PDFThis study uses annual time series data of HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years for Burundi from 1990 to 2020 to predict future trends of HIV prevalence over the period 2021 to 2030. The study utilizes Holt’s double exponential smoothing model. The optimal values of smoothing constants α and β are 0.9 and 0.1 respectively based on minimum MSE. The results of the study indicate that annual HIV prevalence among people aged 15-49 years will continue to decline over the out of sample period. Therefore, we encourage authorities to improve HIV case detection and treatment among key populations and vulnerable groups
Relying on Holt’s linear exponential smoothing model forecasts to inform the national HIV policy in Eswatini
Get PDFThis study uses annual time series data of HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years for Eswatini from 1990 to 2020 to predict future trends of HIV prevalence over the period 2021 to 2030. The study utilizes Holt’s linear exponential smoothing model. The optimal values of smoothing constants α and β are 0.9 and 0.4 respectively based on minimum MSE. The results of the study indicate that annual HIV prevalence among individuals aged 15-49 years will continue to decline over the out of sample period. Therefore, we encourage authorities to address major drivers of HIV transmission among young adults with more focus being given to HIV prevention intervention
Fertility In Oncology Patients
Get PDFThis article reviews the current state of fertility preservation for cancer patients, emphasizing the impact of cancer treatments on reproductive health and recent advancements in preservation techniques. Treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and specific surgeries often lead to compromised fertility, creating challenges for patients who wish to conceive post-recovery. The article highlights the effectiveness of various fertility preservation options, including oocyte, sperm, embryo, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation, while addressing their limitations and success rates based on factors like age and treatment type. Additionally, the review explores accessibility issues, ethical considerations, and the importance of patient education. The findings underscore the need for improved awareness and policy support to ensure fertility preservation is available to all cancer patients who may require it
Impaired Endothelial Dysfunction In Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis After Covid-19
Get PDFCurrently, there is no doubt about the importance of the role of impaired endothelial functional state in the development of vascular pathology in a number of diseases, including rheumatic. With the advent and largescale spread of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), a high rate of patient’s hospitalizations with ankylosing spondyloarthritis (AS) and the development of extrapulmonary complications, such as myocardial injuries, kidney damage and vascular thromboembolism, were noted. The development of this phenomenon confirms the connection with pronounced endothelial dysfunction and its damage. This article presents the results of evaluation of endothelial dysfunction in AS patients undergoing COVID-19
FEATURES OF COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA IN CHILDREN
Get PDFIn clinical practice, along with diseases of the cardiovascular system, a quite urgent and social problem is the pathology of the pulmonary system in the form of pneumonia. Pneumonia is a group of acute infectious (mainly bacterial) diseases, different in etiology, pathogenesis, and morphological characteristics, characterized by focal damage to the respiratory parts of the lungs with the obligatory presence of intra-alveolar exudation; the most widespread in humans is community-acquired pneumonia. According to WHO, it ranks 4th on the list of deaths from infectious diseases. In Uzbekistan, the incidence of community-acquired pneumonia is 5-8 people per 1000 people per year among people over 18 years of age. This disease occurs in the community or later than four weeks after discharge, and is diagnosed within 48 hours of hospitalization. At the same time, in elderly people, the incidence of community-acquired pneumonia is 2 times higher than in young people, and the mortality rate among patients over 60 years of age is 10 times higher. One of the factors in the development of severe forms of community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly is the addition of endogenous intoxicatio
The first results of remote mammographic breast cancer screening in Surkhandarya region
Get PDFThe widespread introduction of mammographic screening for early detection of breast cancer in the world has reduced the mortality rate of women from this disease in the general population by 20-30%. For many years, different standard mammographic screening methods have been used in the United States and many European countries, the principles of which are the same. It is common practice to standardize the X-ray mammography process and mammography characteristics in order to divide all healthy screened women into groups requiring different monitoring recommendations after the first mammogram. Viewing mammograms by two radiologists is considered recognized in the world to reduce the number of erroneous conclusions. In connection with the adoption of the law on medical examination of the population of the Republic of Uzbekistan, which provides for mammography for women after 45 years of age once a year, the question arises of standardizing this process in order to reduce breast cancer mortality in the regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Morphological And Morphometric Indicators of IntraPulmonary Blood Vessels in Childhood
Get PDFIn this article, researches were conducted on the morphological and morphometric indicators of intrapulmonary bronchus vascular wall tissues. The structures of the respiratory bronchioles of babies during the first childhood were studied. During the study, the following was proven: the layers of the respiratory bronchioles of young children between the ages of 4 and 7 are not well developed; the covering epithelium is multi-layered and single-layered, from the transformation of the connective tissue from the unformed. It was found that connective tissue-forming tissue, sparse chondroid and dense chondromatous tissue is covered with small cell
