Treatment and Diagnostic Problems of Pneumonia in Children
Get PDFPneumonia in children is one of the most common, serious, potentially life-threatening diseases. The criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia have been developed a long time ago and are clearly formulated. However, one has to deal with underdiagnosis and irrational therapy, which is observed more often at the outpatient stage. A comparative analysis of recommendations published recently in a number of countries on the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia in children was carried out. We studied the timeliness of diagnosis and the adequacy of therapy at the outpatient stage in 167 hospitalized children with pneumonia
Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Cirrhotic Patients with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
Get PDFAcute kidney injury (AKI) is an important independent predictor of mortality in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). However, the definition of AKI in cirrhosis has been debated for many years. This study aims to compare the prediction accuracy of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) and International Club of Ascites (ICA) criteria for hospital mortality in cirrhotic patients with SBP admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)
The Role of Cephalometry in The Diagnosis of Orthodontic Patients
Get PDFOrthodontics is a department of dentistry that focuses on the alignment and positioning of enamel and jaws to acquire top of the line oral fitness and function. To supply high quality orthodontic treatment, correct prognosis is crucial. The use of cephalometry, a specialised imaging technique, performs a pivotal function in evaluating and diagnosing orthodontic patients. This article objectives to spotlight the importance of cephalometry in orthodontic diagnosis, showcasing its advantages and applications
Correlation Relationship of Interferons, Cytokines with Biochemical Mediators of Inflammation in The Blood in The Association of Covid-19 and Type 2 Diabetes
Get PDFThe study included 103 patients hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia at the Bukhara Regional Infectious Diseases Hospital, which was reorganized into the Covid Center. Immunological studies of the blood of sick children were carried out in the laboratory of immunomorphology of the Institute of Human Immunology and Genomics of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The indicators of interferon (INF-a, IFN-γ), cytokines (IL4, IL18) and biochemical tests in the blood were studied. In patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and type 2 diabetes, total bilirubin has a high relationship with the diabetogenic cytokine IL-18 - r = 0.42, against the background of a noticeable negative relationship with IL-4 (r = -0.30) and INF γ -r=-0.34. At the same time, the free fraction of bilirubin, like total bilirubin, has noticeable negative connections with IL-4 (r = -0.22) and IFN-γ r = -0.34, and has a significant positive connection with IL-18 - r = 0.3
The Role of Collagen in The Mechanisms of Chronic Wound Healing for Diabetic Foot Syndrome
Get PDFThe review of the world literature, is devoted to the role of collagen in the process of wound healing. The problems of epidemiology of chronic wounds and ulcers of various genesis, physiology and pathophysiology of wound healing phases are considered. The pathogenetic role of different types of collagen, as well as the mechanisms of collagen, macrophage, fibroblasts, matrix metalloproteinases and other cytokines in healing ulcers are discussed. The prospects of development and use of medical products and preparations based on collagen in the treatment of patients with chronic wounds and ulcers are shown. The results of clinical studies on the effectiveness of collagen with preserved (native) and unsaved (fractionated) structure are presented. The advantages of using native collagen in the treatment of diabetic foot syndrome are demonstrate

Matrix metalloproteinase 9: A Representative Diagnostic Biomarker for Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy with Hippocampal Sclerosis
Get PDFMatrix metalloproteinase 9 is a proteolytic enzyme which is recently one of the more often studied biomarkers. Its possible use as a biomarker of neuronal damage in stroke, heart diseases, tumors, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy is being widely indicated. In epilepsy, MMP-9 is suggested to play a role in epileptic focus formation and in the stimulation ofseizures. The increase of MMP- 9 activity in the epileptic focus was observed both in animal models and in clinical studies. MMP-9 contributes to formation of epileptic focus,for example, by remodeling ofsynapses. Its proteolytic action on the elements of blood-brain barrier and activation of chemotactic processes facilitates accumulation of inflammatory cells and induces seizures. Also, modification of glutamatergic transmission by MMP-9 is associated with seizures
Clinical symptoms, diagnosis and application of stenting and coronary angiography practices of coronary heart diseases

Digestion In The Duodum 12
Get PDFThe Duodenum Is Called The Central Link Of Digestion. The Acidic Gastric Chyme That Enters The Intestine Is Alkalized Under The Influence Of Digestive Juices, Which Creates An Optimal Environment For Further Hydrolysis Of Nutrients. Three Digestive Juices Are Secreted Into The Cavity Of The Duodenum: Pancreatic, Intestinal And Bile. Pancreatic Juice. The Exocrine Elements Of The Pancreas Secrete Pancreatic Juice, Which Is Secreted Through The Ducts Into The Duodenal Cavity. 1.5–2.5 Liters Of Juice Is Formed Per Day. Pancreatic Juice Is A Colorless Transparent Liquid. Composition Of Pancreatic Juice: 99% - Water, 1% - Dry Residue. The Dry Residue Consists Of Inorganic And Organic Substances. Inorganic Substances Are Represented By Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium Chlorides, Sulfates And Phosphate
