Attention is drawn to the difficulties that may be encountered in the positive identification and classification of many patients suspected of suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus. Much of this is due to a lack of specific criteria, either clinical or pathologic, for the diagnosis of the disease. The problem has been made more difficult by the recognition of a number of other syndromes that bear a superficial resemblance to systemic lupus erythematosus, yet differ in clinical manifestations, natural course, prognosis and other respects. A feature common to the group is the presence of the L.E. cell phenomenon. The related conditions differ from lupus enythematosus in that the L.E. phenomenon may only be demonstrable intermittently especially during severe exacerbations of the disease, while at the same time disturbances in the electrophoretic pattern of the serum proteins may be much more profound. In systemic rheumatoid disease the prognosis without steroid therapy is better than in systemic lupus erythematosus, although the morbidity may be great. The reactions which follow administration of certain chemotherapeutic agents are of considerable interest, particularly in view of the similarity to lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, and the reversibility on withdrawal of the offending agent. The relationship of these syndromes to each other and to classical systemic lupus erythematosus has not yet been resolved, and inclusion of them under the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus at this time must be regarded as premature.

According to the decisions of international scientific forums, the problem of phenomenon of rosacea (acne rosacea), a common dermatosis with numerous unexplained aspects of etiopathogenesis is a promising area of modern medical research. The aim of the study was theoretical substantiation of the essential features of the mechanisms of occurrence, development and clinical manifestations of the first signs of rosacea in women of reproductive age. The use of a systematic analytical methodical approach to assess the data of clinical and laboratory examinations of women with rosacea, conducted in different regions of the world, allowed to establish the originality of such manifestations of dermatosis as the appearance of unexpected rushes to limited areas of the face, accompanied by local redness and local heat areas of the skin differring significantly from similar rushes in other diseases or syndromes (menopause, migraine, etc.). It is established that the peculiarity of the relationship of these clinical characteristics (from English: rush, ruddy, redness, rosacea, reproductive age of women, reaction) allows to indicate the first signs of dermatosis as a phenomenon inherent in this disease Rush-Ruddy-Rosacea-Reproduce-Reaction (abbreviated – «5-R»), the key pathophysiological target of which (as well as the disease as a whole) is a disorder of a set of hierarchically dependent mechanisms of the evolutionarily determined motivational need to ensure reproductive function in women (both at the cellular level and extracellular structures of the ovaries, and at different levels of subcortical formations and centers of the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres). The phenomenon of rosacea rush is closely related to other phenomena of this dermatosis – hypersensitivity of bradykinin receptors, actinic elastosis, development of post erythematous telangiectasia. The prospect of further research on the problem of rosacea is to study the relationship of disorders in the functional systems of molecules of signaling compounds of different classes (hormones, eicosanoids, neuropeptides, kinins, cytokines and others) in the pathogenesis of the disease.

On the basis of complex hygienic studies there were determined conditions of the work of firefighters in liquidation of foci of fires at the incipient stage, identified the complex of toxic substances, their quantitative content in the area of the smoke of fires. The analysis of the etiological role of occupational factors in the shaping of the morbidity and the physiological and clinical manifestations, established indices of the risk for occupational and industrial-caused pathology have allowed to substantiate the relationship of a number of nosological forms associated with working conditions of firefighters. There was developed a system of preventive activities for the promotion and preservation of the health of firefighters, as well as a conceptual model for monitoring of working conditions and state of health.

Increases in blood viscosity and its determinants (haematocrit and plasma fibrinogen) have been described in groups of subjects with clinical manifestations of arterial disease (myocardial infarction, angina, claudication). Viscosity factors may also be risk associations in prospective studies. We have studied the relationship of blood viscosity (shear rate 100s-0), haematocrit and fibrinogen to the extent of coronary artery occlusion in 50 males, aged 30-55, prior to coronary arteriography for chest pain. 26 subjects had significant occlusion (>50 per cent stenosis) of 2 or 3 major coronary arteries: 24 had single vessel disease or normal coronary arteries. 25 healthy controls were also studied. There were no significant differences in age or smoking habits between the three groups: use of beta-adrenergic blockers and plasma lipid levels were comparable in the two arteriography groups. Patients with extensive coronary artery disease had increased levels of viscosity and haematocrit (p<0.005), fibrinogen (p<0. 02) and viscosity corrected for haematocrit (p<0. 05), compared to angiographic or asymptomatic controls.

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) or Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is currently one of the public health problems in Indonesia which tends to increase the number of patients and the wider spread. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an infectious disease caused by dengue virus with clinical manifestations of fever, muscle pain / joint pain accompanied by rashes, thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic thesis. The data obtained amounted to 81 people. Objective: The objective is to determine the relationship of knowledge, habits of hanging clothes and frequency of draining tubs with the prevention of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Method: This research was conducted at the Puskesmas Service conducted on May 14 until May 25, 2019. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analyzes. This research method uses analytical survey method with cross sectional approach. The sample in this study amounted to 81 people using systematic random sampling techniques. Results: From the analysis it was found that there was a relationship of knowledge (ρ-value 0.001), habit of hanging clothes (ρ-value 0.001), and frequency of draining tub (p-value 0,000), with the prevention of DHF. Suggestion: in order to increase counseling about the dangers of dengue fever to the public. Keywords: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, Behavior

Accumulating data have linked migraine to cerebrovascular and heart diseases. The relationship between migraine and stroke is complex and bidirectional. A stroke, either ischaemic or haemorrhagic, may produce symptoms mimicking a migraine attack; a migraine attack may mimic a stroke; migraine may be directly associated with an ischaemic stroke (migrainous infarction); migraine may represent a risk factor for stroke; several diseases, mostly genetically determined, include among their clinical manifestations attacks of migraine and stroke; lastly, migraine has been associated with subclinical infarct-like brain lesions and white matter hyperintensities. The risk of cardiac vascular events in migraineurs varies greatly among studies, ranging from a lower-than-average to a moderately increased risk as suggested by the most recent data. Initial evidence also suggested an association between migraine and patent foramen ovale, but this possibility has been recently challenged. The mechanisms underlying the relationship of migraine with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases are still cryptic and rather complex. In migraineurs, a heightened vigilance toward some comorbid risk factor is warranted together with caution in prescribing oral contraceptives.
