Sexual Dysfunction in Women Suffering from Gynecological Diseases
Get PDFThe analysis of long-term efficiency of operative treatment of pelvic prolapse for 213 women in periods ranging from 12 through questionnaire PISQ-12 (Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire), recommended for use in clinical practice of the international urogynaecologic Association and adapted by the authors for work . Method of evaluating the effectiveness of surgical treatment of pelvic and prostate has been streamlined through the introduction of a system of qualitative analysis of the results of the study of sexual function. Found that operational treatments pelvic prolapse have a positive effect on sexual function of women. Significant differences of sexual function in remote postoperative period depending on the type of operational benefits.The best effect with regard to the favourable dynamics of sexual function is achieved after laparoscopic operative treatment of pelvic prolapse compared with vaginal hysterectom
SGLT2 Inhibitors and Mechanisms of Arterial Hypertension
Get PDFThe article provides information about the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in hypertensive crises, mechanisms of action as an antihypertensive drug and the normalization of endothelial function. Other generation of these drugs are also compared with empagliflazin. Studies have been conducted with placebo drugs, and information is given on the effect of drugs on reducing daily and night blood pressure
Ultrasound diagnostics of knee joint diseases
Get PDFThis article highlights a study dedicated to improving ultrasound diagnostics in diseases of the knee joint and increasing the information content of the ultrasound metho
History of Retinal Implants
Get PDFVision is the ability to perceive light stimuli through the eyes, transport information to the brain, which subsequently interprets it in order to relate to the world around us. In this way we can correctly distinguish between colors, shapes, movements and distances. Vision is an essential tool for day-to-day life and its loss leads to a reduction in the person's independence as well as in their quality of life
Association of IFN-γ T/A +874 Gene Polymorphism with Type-1 diabetes mellitus in Iraqi Children
Get PDFThe purpose of this case-control study was to examine the association between polymorphisms in the IFN-γ T/A +874 Gene Polymorphism and the development of Type 1 Diabetes mellitus. Samples of blood were taken from 60 people with Type 1 diabetes mellliuts and 40 healthy controls for this study serum levels were found to be significantly higher (p>0.05) than healthy. The frequency of the allele and genotypes in the patient groups and control groups were determined using Allele Specific-PCR, Triiodothyronine (T3), Thyroxine (ng/ml), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (mU/L) levels in the blood were measured using a kit designed to do so in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The study show a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in TSH in Patient subjects (diabetic mellitus ) as compared to the control group as shown in table (4-2) and this result is in agreements with. The study also shown that there is a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in both hormones ( T3& T4 ) n the P atient subjects (diabetic mellitus ) when compared to the control group. In the current study liver enzyme (AST, ALP& ALT) shown a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in Patient subjects (diabetic mellitus) as compared to the control. Patients had an increased frequency of the TT homozygous and TA heterozygous genotypes compared to controls (15 vs. 22 and 21 vs. 12) respectivelly. When comparing the odds ratios (OR) of 0.38 (95% CI: 0.148 to 1.024) and 1.71 (95% CI: 0.05 to 0.51) for the two groups, with statistically significant difference (p = 0.0539 and P=0.0042) respectively. Patients also had a much higher frequency of the (A) allele than controls did (34.5 vs. 12, OR = 0.327, 95% CI = 0.14 to 0.76, p = 0.009)
Waterborne Zoonotic Bacterial Pathogens: Review
Get PDFZoonoses infections are among the major public health issues confusing, as pandemics emergences intermittently causing significant global human and economic losses. The aim of this review is to summarize the most prominent waterborne bacterial pathogens of zoonotic origin, along with basic prevention methods. Excretions and waste products are most sources of waterborne zoonotic pathogens, as these substances are used as a means of transmission from the animal to the aquatic environment. Water is one of the ways of transmission of infection, especially through drinking water. Among these life-threatening bacterial pathogens is Bacillus anthracis , Campylobacter jejuni, which causes enteritis in humans and animals , Escherichia coli that causes hemorrhagic enteritis, Salmonella enterica that lead to enteritis, and Vibrio cholera which causes gastroenteritis and blood poisoning, may lead to death. For prevention, zoonotic pathogens must be controlled in animal reservoirs, along with proper disposal of animal waste as well as protecting surface water from animal waste and also sterilizing drinking water. In this review, we concluded the need to apply the qualitative approach to sterilization of drinking water according to international standards
Optimization of Diagnostic Criteria for Necrotisius Fasciitis in Diabetes Mellitus
Get PDFThe concept of relevance holds significance in various academic disciplines. It refers to the degree to which The clinical presentation of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) has been documented in historical records dating back to 1871, when it was first described by Joseph Jones, an American military physician, under the term "hospital gangrene." In the year 1924, Meleney made the discovery that the etiological agent responsible for this particular pathological condition is hemolytic streptococcus. The condition was classified as hemolytic streptococcal gangrene. However, in 1972, B. Wilson introduced a significant diagnostic indicator known as fascial necrosis. Hence, the widely acknowledged definition of necrotizing fasciitis, as proposed by B. Wilson, has been establishe
Use of Low Frequency Ultrasound for The Treatment of Diseases of The Nasal Cavity and Adjacent Sinuses
Get PDFThis article explores the use of low-frequency ultrasound in the treatment of diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Low-frequency ultrasound is a modern method of physical therapy that can penetrate deeply into tissue and cause various biological reactions. Research shows that the use of lowfrequency ultrasound can have a positive effect on the condition of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, improving mucociliary clearance, facilitating the outflow of secretions and improving the penetration of antiseptic solutions into tissues. The combined use of low-frequency ultrasound with antiseptics and other medications can also enhance their effect on the affected areas. It is important to continue research to determine the optimal parameters for use and safety of this method. Overall, the use of low-frequency ultrasound represents a promising approach to developing more effective treatments for diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuse
