Significance of Different Risk Factors for the Occurrence and Consequences of Radiation Accidents and Incidents
Get PDFThe most important radiation accidents and incidents are considered from the point of view of the significance of risk factors of such events. The priority of the "human factor" in the occurrence and development of radiation events of any type is noted. Taking into account the nature of radiation incidents and the degree of significance of risk factors, a system of urgent measures in case of their occurrence is propose
Assessment of Surface Water and Estuarie Quality and Soil Condition Monitoring
Get PDFAssessing the quality of surface waters and estuaries and monitoring soil health are critical to monitoring and maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems and ensuring sustainable land management practices. This involves the assessment of various parameters, such as chemical composition, physical characteristics and biological indicators, to determine the overall condition and potential impact on human health and the environmen
Factors of Development of Hepatorenal Syndrome in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis of Viral Etiology
Get PDFHepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a type of acute kidney injury (AKI), occurring in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and is associated with high mortality. We aim to describe the predictors associated with the development of HRS in cirrhotic patients with AKI. We retrospectively analyzed 125 cirrhotic patient encounters with AKI across all Health institutions between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2022. We performed multivariate analyses to determine independent predictors of development of HRS. Alcoholic cirrhosis was the most common identified etiology of cirrhosis. The mean Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Scorewas18 (±7). Ascites was the most commonly identified clinical feature of portal hypertension. Infection was identified in 38.4% of patients with urinary tract infection/pyelonephritis being the most common. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis occurred in 5.9% of patients. The most common cause of AKI was pre-renal. Hepatorenal syndrome was identified in 9.8% of patient encounters. Predictors of HRS were history of ascites, serum creatinine >2.5 mg/dL, albumin <3 g/dL, bilirubin >2 mg/dL and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. We demonstrate strong predictors for the development of HRS which can aid clinicians to attain an early diagnosis of HRS, leading to prompt and targeted management and improving outcome
Modern Therapy of Viral Hepatitis
Get PDFViral hepatitis (VH) is a large group of diseases that differ in etiology, epidemiology, and clinical presentation with predominant liver damage. Currently, the following independent forms of VG are known, which are usually denoted by letters of the Latin alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, G, TTV. The greatest importance for practical health care is represented by hepatitis with parenteral (or hemocontact) infection and, above all, hepatitis caused by viruses B, C, D. This is due to the fact that when infected with these viruses, the course of the disease is usually more severe than with hepatitis A and E, lightning-fast (malignant) infections are possibl
The Role of Elastics in The Treatment of Mesial Occlusion
Get PDFMesial occlusion is a frequent dental situation characterised via the higher dental arch being placed too some distance ahead in relation to the decrease dental arch. This malocclusion can lead to a variety of purposeful and aesthetic issues. Fortunately, elastics have emerged as an nice cure modality for correcting mesial occlusion. This article pursuits to discover the considerable function that elastics play in the cure of mesial occlusio
Early Diagnosis of Sepsis in Purulent-Inflammatory Diseases of Soft Tissues
Get PDFThe following work is adapted and devoted to the development of methods for the first diagnosis of infection with purulent-inflammatory diseases of soft tissues, developed against the background of diabetes, using new and traditional methods for the diagnosis of sepsis. At the same time, it was noted that early diagnosis and timely surgical treatment made it possible to reduce generalization, development of purulent-inflammatory process and mortality
The dangers of ionizing radiation that affect human safety and the environment :A review Article
Get PDFThe world is witnessing an increase in the spread of nuclear technology and the expansion of the use of radionuclide in industry, agriculture, medicine and other nuclear and radiological applications. This may be accompanied by an increase in accidents as the threat of potential risks from human exposure increases externally exposed to ionizing radiation and contamination of its internal organs with radionuclide. In order to protect people and workers from health harms associated with external exposure for ionizing radiation and indoor contamination with radionuclides, follow the principles of health prevention and control implementing rules and laws for the protection of ionizing radiation that ensure safety for humans and the environment reducing radiation risks
Metal and pesticide residues levels accumulated in leafy vegetables and several fragrant medicinal plants in Baghdad Governorate / Iraq
Get PDFThe levels of some heavy metals (cadmium, lead, chromium) and pesticide residues (Malathion, Dimethoate, Profernofoes, PrimiohosMe) were estimated in some aromatic medicinal plants (chamomile, anise seeds, coriander, fennel) and leafy vegetables (cabbage, celery, grape leaves, and coriander, Mint, lettuce, spinach, and watercress) are commonly used and collected frm various markets. Organophosphorus pesticides have also been detected in some aromatic medicinal plants and leafy vegetables. Where, chamomile samples showed only Malathion, while in coriander malathion is 0.86 and Dimethoate have been detected in Anise seeds, profernofoes in chamomile were predominant, and leafy vegetables have also been detected some Organophosphorus pesticides in green mint Malathion, profernofoes is dominant, the findings showed that some heavy metals were present in some of the samples that were collected. Lead and chromium levels, as well as varying amounts of cadmium and chromium, were found in grape leaves in the majority of the samples that were examined. Samples of chamomile flowers had the greatest average amounts of cadmium and chromium, whereas samples of anise seeds had the highest levels of lead
Correlation Of Essential Micronutrient Metabolism In Adolescents With Neurocirculatory Dystonia Living In Conditions Of Iodine Deficiency
Get PDFReproduction of offspring is a complex biological process in which not only the reproductive apparatus, but the entire organism as a whole is involved. Therefore, the causes leading to reproductive dysfunction must be sought not only in the reproductive system, but throughout the entire body
Pathology in children with congenital cleft lip and palate.
Get PDFIn children with congenital cleft lip and palate (CCLP), under the influence of endogenous (hereditary) or exogenous (causing disruption of embryogenesis) factors, changes occur in various organs and systems of the body. The commonality of CGN with multiple organ pathologies in the body is explained by the presence of connective tissue dysplasia (CTD). The formation of the multifactorial nature of CGN is realized due to the genetic susceptibility of the organism to the action of externally damaging environmental factors in relation to the fetus. In 75% of children, CRHN is an isolated congenital defect, but it can be combined with other congenital defects. The data presented in the article may be useful for the development of preventive and therapeutic measures, in the prognosis and management of children with this pathology from an individual professional and family perspective
