To determine the role of a violation of the composition of the intestinal microflora in the formation of clinical manifestations and in structural changes of COD in patients with CP and to evaluate the effect of therapy aimed at restoring intestinal microbiosenosis on the course of the diseas
The Effect of Android-Based Smoking Cessation Education to Improve the Level of Knowledge, Attitude, And Smoking Behavior Among Adolescents in Pamulang, South Tangerang Indonesia
Smoking has been shown to have a detrimental impact on various aspects of adolescent health, including physical, mental, and social health. Smoking increases the risk of developing health problems. Smoking rates among adolescents are very high, leading to various adverse health effects and social consequences.This study will use a cross-sectional research design, which is a type of observational research design. The design in this study is a non-equivalent control group design with pre-test and post-test. Due to the grouping of sample members in the experimental group and control group. This study divided the group into two, namely the first group was given android-based quit-smoking education, and the second group was not given the intervention. The research strategy used mixed research methods, with quantitative research as the main research design and qualitative research. The study showed that adolescents who participated in this education program had better knowledge about the dangers of smoking, as well as more positive attitudes towards smoking cessation. In addition, adolescents also showed changes in their smoking-related behaviors after participating in the education, so Android-based quit-smoking education can provide long-term benefits in reducing smoking prevalence among adolescents and promoting healthy lifestyles and awareness of the importance of lung health and prevention of smoking-related diseases. Along with the development of technology and the expansion of smartphone use among adolescents, the implementation of Android-based quit-smoking education not only provides benefits in adolescent health education but also has broader social implication

This article provides data on the etiology of intestinal infections, as well as the results of research by domestic and European scientists regarding the effectiveness of treatment of acute gastroenteritis, including information on the use of sorbents, probiotics, antiemetic and antibacterial drugs
Influence of Blood Insulin Levels on The Daily Life and Health of Patients with COPD
The study examines hyperinsulinemia in patients with COPD and its impact on their lives. Clinical data and biochemical indicators were analyzed, including blood insulin levels and CAT questionnaire outcomes. A high frequency of hyperinsulinemia was identified, which has clinical significance for treatment and improving prognosis and quality of life for patients
Features Of The Occurrence Of Helicobacter Pylori Infection With Gastroduodenal Pathology In Children
Despite the presence of studies devoted to the study of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, its role in the pathogenesis of diseases such as chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, MALT lymphoma and gastric adenocarcinoma, the question of what determines the development of one or another clinical form of gastroduodenal pathology remains open. One of the factors with which the characteristics of clinical forms of Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases are usually associated is the genetic characteristics of the microorganism, which determines its virulenc
Metaphylaxy Of Urolithiasis Disease In Children With Renal Form Of Primary Hyperparathyroidism
The conducted metaphylactic measures including medication and dietary measures in 52 children with ULD of PGPT genesis allowed to increase the efficiency of surgical treatment of urolithiasis and primary hyperparathyroidism. A significantly low rate of recurrent stone formation in patients who fulfilled the recommendations in full compared to those who fulfilled them partially or not at all was registered. Metaphylactic measures were carried out individually for each child depending on the etiopathogenesis and complications of the disease. A diet low in fat and sodium (table salt) was prescribed; this was the safest for normal calcium intake without increasing the risk of nephrolithiasis (for the growing organism)

Noise Levels at Mosul City's Academic Medical Centers
This study is to quantify the noise levels at Mosul City's teaching hospitals, break those levels down by time of day and night, and compare the noise levels on weekdays and weekends. We used digital sound level meters to assess the noise levels at the Iben-Sena, Aljamhory, Alkhansa'a, and Alsalam Teaching Hospitals. Material and methods: We measured and categorized the noise levels in each hospital at nine in the morning, eleven in the afternoon, two in the evening, five in the evening, and seven in the evening. The medical ward is involved in all hospitals, but Aljamhory Teaching Hospital adds the important areas to that future research may use it as a baseline. Results: The study included a total of 556 readings obtained from all participating hospitals. We calculate the average of all measurements after selecting a parameter, the equivalent sound level (Leq) in decibels (dBA). Plus, you can see how much noise there is on weekdays (Sunday through Thursday) compared to weekend days (Friday and Saturday). Acurrent experiment is investigating the origin of background, noise at academic medical centers
Acute Otitis Media in Children: Etiopathogenesis, Symptoms, And Treatment
Acute otitis media, commonly known as an ear infection, is a prevalent and often painful condition that primarily affects children, especially those under the age of two. AOM involves inflammation of the middle ear, often caused by viral upper respiratory infections that spread through the Eustachian tube. Factors contributing to AOM include viral and bacterial infections, Eustachian tube dysfunction, anatomical variations in young children, and environmental factors like secondhand smoke exposure. Symptoms of AOM include ear pain, fever, irritability, pulling at the ears, fluid drainage, hearing loss, and loss of appetit
