auses, pathogenesis, clinical and anamnestic analysis and morphometric examination of respiratory distress syndrome and atelectasis in infants
No full textThis article, compiled on the basis of an analysis of scientific literature, is devoted to the problem of respiratory distress syndrome and atelectasis in infants. Respiratory disorders are in 2nd place among diseases of infants, their overall incidence is 1% of all infants, and in premature infants it is up to 14%. The most common form of respiratory distress syndrome is atelectasis, the main causes of which are: weakness and slowing of the respiratory center, underdevelopment of the respiratory system, hypoxia or asphyxia, brain or spinal cord injury. Externally, the focus of atelectasis is fleshy, swollen, dark gray, microscopically the walls of the alveoli are tightly packed, the alveolocytes are displaced, and cells and hyaline membranes are found in the spac

Experience Of Using A Foley Catheter And Dinoprostone To Preparate The Cervix For Labor
No full textThis article analyzes cases of using a Foley catheter and dinoprostone for cervical preparation for labor and compares their effectiveness. According to the study results, induction of labor with a Foley catheter was more effective than dinoprostone in accelerating cervical ripening and the onset and duration of labor. In addition, the Foley catheter group had a lower complication rate, and the condition of the mother and child was more stable. These results demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of Foley catheter induction of labor in clinical practice
Prevention Of Obesity And Metabolic Syndrome In Young People
No full textObesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) are significant risk factors for cardiovascular and endocrine diseases among young people. The purpose of the study is to assess metric indicators, the prevalence of body mass disorders, and potential risk factors for MS among students. The study involved 382 students of the Central Asian Medical University (Fergana city, Uzbekistan) aged 18-25. An assessment of height, waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) was conducted, and the distribution of students by BMI categories was calculated. It was established that 21.8% of students have a metabolic risk, of which 23.8% have excess body weight and 1.6% have obesity of the 1st degree. The average BMI value was 23.8±2.1 kg/m2. The results obtained confirm the necessity of implementing preventive programs aimed at reducing the prevalence of obesity risk factors among university student
