Objective: To study the pathomorphosis of vascular dementia over the past 30 years. The study of the pathomorphosis of mental disorders makes significant adjustments to the criteria for diagnosis and nosography. Dementia has also undergone pathomorphosis over the years. Materials and Methods: The research was carried out in the Psychiatric Hospitalsin Azerbaijan. A retrospective analysis was carried out for the period 1990-1999, which were compared with a similar contingent during 2010-2020. Results: The number of hospitalized patients with vascular dementia has increased over the past 10 years, which means both an increase in the incidence of the disease and an increase in symptoms requiring psychiatric treatment. Conclusions: Pathomorphosis has also manifested itself in sex. Thus, the number of female patients has increased in the last 10 years. As a result of the disease, there is a positive trend, a decrease in mortality.

Victims Of Sexual Abuse

More children are being recognized as victims of sexual abuse than in the past. Because pediatricians are often the first professionals to see the victim, they are often also the first to assess and to evaluate the child. Increased diagnoses of child sexual abuse may be the result either of an actual increase in the incidence of child sexual abuse or of heightened recognition. Whichever explanation or combination is correct, it is crucial that pediatricians be aware not only of the issue of child sexual abuse but also of the correct procedures in collecting data that may be used as evidence and in preparing to be a witness in a potential criminal prosecution of the alleged offender.

Abstract The article is a retrospective analysis of the development of airborne laser scanning technology in the country in the past twenty years, i.e. from the beginnings of this technique use in Poland to the present day. The emphasis in the text is placed on development trends and scientific and application problems in the field of technology undertaken by national research centres. The review is based on numerous publications in this field, which have been released over two decades mainly in the “Archive of Photogrammetry, Cartography and Remote Sensing”. Therefore, the article is a presentation of the progress in the area of airborne laser scanning through an attempt to systematize and review national publications in this scope. It also presents the development of the national production potential and the level of the country’s coverage with data and products derived from airborne laser scanning.

This paper will explore ways in which self identified survivors of childhood sexual abuse and false memory syndrome appropriate therapeutic discourses which both encourage women to hold themselves responsible for their own unhappiness and provide a way to alleviate that responsibility. Although I look critically at women's engagement with abuse narratives the intention is not to enter the ‘recovered memory wars’ but rather to explore the consequences of locating adult victims of childhood sexual abuse within a therapeutic rather than a political framework. Within this therapeutic culture priority is given to self-actualisation and personal fulfilment and the self is increasingly seen as a project to be worked on. A pervasive theme within the therapeutic literature is a particular linkage between women's ‘inferiority’ and their oppression. Women are not only shown an array of problems from which they suffer together with self-improving solutions but are encouraged to seek the ‘hidden’ causes of these problems in the past and to probe further and further back rather than look to the material conditions of their adult lives for explanations. Drawing on interview material I will look at how women invest in discourses which provide an explanation for hidden knowledge of abuse and may offer a way to alleviate responsibility but which also encourage them to (re)construct themselves as sick, damaged and ultimately responsible for their own unhappiness.

The aim: To perform a retrospective analysis of leptospirosis morbidity in Ivano-Frankivsk region, to give the etiological characteristics of leptospirosis according to clinicallaboratory parameters, to determine the peculiarities of the course, prognostic features. Materials and methods: Data of the State Enterprise “Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Laboratory Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine”, reports and abstracts of medical records of the Regional Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital for 2009-2018 were used. Clinical observation of patients, analysis of general-clinical, biochemical, and serological indices were carried out. Results: The leptospirosis morbidity in Ivano-Frankivsk region during 2009-2018 was higher than in general in Ukraine. Activation of foci of leptospirosis L. pomona and grippotyphosa in 2009-2013, decrease of L. grippotyphosa and increase of L. pomona foci and “new” L. autumnalis, australis, bataviae, cynopteri in 2014-2018 were noted. The emergence of leptospirosis L. autumnalis, which had a high virulence and caused a severe course, was noted. Conclusions: The leptospirosis morbidity in the Ivano-Frankivsk region over the past 10 years has exceeded the incidence in Ukraine and varied within 0.62-2.2 per 100,000. During the last 5 years, the serological structure has changed: L. pomona (27.7%) prevailed, L. grippotyphosa decreased (2.1%), L. bataviae and cynopteri, autumnalis increased (by 8.5%). Seasonality is shifted in the autumn-winter period (November-February) (L. grippotyphosa, australis, pomona, canicola). According to forecasts, leptospirosis induced by L. autumnalis was most adverse. Leptospiroses of serogroups L. australis, bataviae, cynopteri had a mild course, there were fewer complications.

Introduction: The incidence and outcome of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) patients with transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are unclear. We performed a retrospective analysis to determine the incidence, clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcome of WM patient with histologic transformation to DLBCL in our centre. Methods: Single centre chart review of WM patients in the past 10 years. Patients with histologic diagnosis of DLBCL after the diagnosis WM were included in our analysis. Results: Three of the 79 WM patients had histological transformation to DLBCL, two male and one female. Mean age at DLBCL development was 76,6 years. The mean time to transformation since diagnosis of WM was 8,3 years (14, 8 and 3 years). All three patients received at least one prior line of treatment in relation to WM (2, 1 and 3 prior lines). Different regimens used were cyclophosphamide/dexamethasone, rituximab/bendamustin, chlorambucil monotherapy, fludarabine monotherapy, R-CVP and ibrutinib monotherapy. The patients were in clinical CR from WM at the time of transformation, two patients were still on treatment. All three patients presented with advanced disease (stage IIIB, IVB, and IVA) non-GCB subtype DLBCL with at least 2 extra nodal sites. R-IPI scores were 4,5 and 4. Two patients were treated with R-miniCHOP, one patient received R-CHOP. The first patient achieved a CR at the end of treatment and is now 1,5 years in follow-up. The second patient died from pneumonia one year after achieving a CR. The third patient is in follow op since 3 months after reaching a CR at the end of treatment. Conclusion: Over the past decade transformation of WM to DLBCL was 3.7% in our centre. This is in accordance with previous data suggesting an 2.4% risk of transformation over 10 years.Time to transformation varies and no association with prior WM therapy and response to treatment can be found.All patients presented with more aggressive DLBCL in an advanced stage.All three patients achieved a CR following treatment for DLBCL, one patient died from pneumonia, two others are now in follow-up 1,5 years and 3 months respectively.

Religiosity And Depression

This study examined religiosity and adolescent depression through a retrospective analysis viadata from the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. A national sample of adolescents aged12-17 years (n = 17,399) served as the participants of this study. Demographic characteristics were deter-mined by conducting frequency distributions. Odds ratios were computed to determine whether past year(2012) MDE differed based on adolescent involvement in religiosity. Multivariable logistic regressionanalyses were computed to examine whether past year MDE differed based on adolescent involvement inreligiosity for males and for females. Findings indicated that 9.7% of adolescents had a Major DepressiveEpisode (MDE) within the past year. Males at highest risk were those who did not feel their religious be-liefs were an important part of their life or that it was important their friends share their religious beliefs.Females at highest risk were those who did not feel their religious beliefs influence their decisions or thatit was important that their friends share their religious beliefs. Such findings may indicate that certainaspects of religious involvement may provide protective effects against adolescent MDE.
