The article presents the concepts of crimes related to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases or HIV infection (AIDS), their social danger as a global problem of the international level, legal characteristics, information about the norms established in the legislation of foreign countries to combat these crimes and their uniqueness
Electrophysiology study in patients with supraventricular tachycardia
Supraventricular tachycardias are paroxysmal tachyarrhythmias which require atrial or atrioventricular nodal tissue or both for their initiation and maintenance & they are often recurrent, occasionally persistent, and a frequent cause of visits to emergency rooms and primary care physicians
The Possibilities of Mri in the Establishment and Diagnosis of Lumbar Vertebral Stenosis
This article highlights the work devoted to the study of the possibility of MRI in the diagnosis of lumbar vertebral stenosis
Characteristics of Chemical Composition of Some Plants
The chemical composition of plants is very complex and consists of various organic and mineral substances. All of them will not be medicinal and will not have a curative effect in the treatment of diseases. Some of them interfere with the preparation of medicines, cause their quality to deteriorate during the storage of medicinal products, or cause rapid decomposition of the main active chemical compounds. Therefore, substances found in the composition of medicinal plants are divided into three groups from the point of view of medicine and pharmac
Molecular-Genetic Mechanisms of the Development of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in Children
The article presents clinical and genetic features and prognostic criteria for juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The clinical features of the disease, the results of laboratory analysis are important when choosing an effective method of treatment. Depending on the severity of the disease, the characteristics of the clinical course and the results of the functional laboratory analysis, drug and surgical treatment of joints is recommende
Manifestations of Various Diseases and Changes in the Body in Children Suffering from Drug Allergy
It is characterized by polymorphic rashes in the form of erythema, target-shaped papules, which can progress to vesicular and bullous lesions, on the site of which erosions form. Rashes are mainly localized on the hands, feet, upper and lower extremities. Mucosal involvement may occur. Erythema multiforme is a polyetiological disease mainly based on hypersensitivity reactions to drugs or infection, but in some cases associated with other pathological conditions, in particular with Kawasaki disease [68]. Treatment of patients is based on the withdrawal of causative drugs or the treatment of existing infectious diseases. In some cases, the course is recurrent, which is due to unresolved antigenic stimulatio

Modern Principles of Simulation Training in Medicine
The article provides data on the study of the subject of simulation training in surgery, gynecology, dentistry, and also focuses on the repeatability of medical skills in SB on various mannequins, simulators, which makes it possible to carry out various practical skills in surgery, therapy, obstetrics-gynecology, and also paw roscopic placement in various organs of the abdominal cavity to the point of automatism. Such mastery of the technique and practical skills allows you to accurately perform all medical procedures during surgery and examination
Investigation of papA, papC, and papG virulence genes revealed their association with antimicrobial resistance among uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from patients in Thi-Qar province, Iraq
Infection of the urinary tract is one of the more common infections in the people of the world, which is more common in women due to the anatomical structure of the woman's body. The main cause of this infection is uropathogenic E. coli, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae. This disease is controlled and treated by antibiotics, but one of the most important concerns in today's world is the spread of antibiotic resistance in different strains of bacteria. This resistance to antibiotics is caused by specific genes that increase the number of these identified genes every day. This study aims to find the frequency of three coding genes related to p fimbriae, namely papA, papC, and papG, from E. coli strains extracted from patients with urinary tract infections. Also, in this research, by conducting tests related to the detection of the antimicrobial resistance of the extracted strains and using statistical analysis, an attempt has been made to find a significant relationship between the presence or absence of a gene and resistance to antibacterials. At first, 110 urine samples were collected from patients with UTI in the Dhi Qar province of Iraq. In this research, bacterial culture methods in McConkey agar and advanced biochemical tests were used for primary confirmation of E. coli contamination, and Vitek2 and API E20 systems were used for secondary confirmation of bacterial contamination in suspected samples. Finally, the result of these tests was that all 110 samples were infected with E. coli. Then, samples resistant to the antibiotics Ampicillin, Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Nitrofurantoin, and Cotrimoxazole, respectively, were detected by culturing in MuellerHinton agar medium and disc diffusion using the CLSI 2021 protocol. 36.36, 24.54, 29.09, 2.72, and 20% of the samples were resistant to these antibiotics, respectively. PCR was used to amplify gene fragments, and agarose gel electrophoresis was used to determine the presence of genes. The result was that the percentages of papG, papC, and papA genes were 61.81, 38.18, and 28.18, respectively. Finally, by performing a chisquare test in SPSS software, it was found that there is a significant relationship between the presence or absence of papA and papC genes with ampicillin and a significant relationship between papG and cotrimoxazole. These findings and the findings of other researchers can help us choose the right treatment and design new treatments by determining the antibiotic resistance facto
