The retrospective analysis of 378 medical records of inpatients with steatohepatitis (SH) depending on its etiology was performed to identify and study the type of anaemic conditions (AC). Among patients with SH of mixed (including alcoholic) etiology anaemia was found in 32.2% of cases, in patients with alcoholic (ASH) - in 36.3%, in patients with non-alcoholic SH (NASH) - in 22.0 % of cases. Macrocytic, hyperchromic anaemia prevailed in patients with anaemia of all groups: in patients with SH of mixed etiology - in 47.9%, in patients with ASH - 56.8%, NASH - 71.4%. Normocytic, normochromic anaemia was registered in 52.1% with mixed etiology of SH, in patients with ASH - 43.2%, NASH - 28.6%.The prospective study of 125 patients with SH showed that anaemia was found in 40.0% of patients with ASH, among patients with SH of mixed (including alcoholic) etiology anaemia was found in 32.0%, among patients with NASH the result was 21.7%. The following types of anaemia were found in ASH: vitamin B12 - deficient - in 17.5% of cases, anaemia of chronic disease - in 10.0% of cases and Zieve's syndrome - in 12.5% of cases. Three types of anaemia were found in patients with SH of mixed etiology: vitamin B12 - deficient - in 16.0% of cases, anaemia of chronic disease - in 8.0% and Zieve's syndrome - in 8.0% of patients. The structure of anaemias in patients with NASH accompanied by obesity of I-II degrees is as follows: B12 - deficient anaemia - in 15.0% of cases, anaemia of chronic disease - in 6.7% of people. In patients with NASH, H. pylory contamination was present in 84.6% of patients with anaemic syndrome (AS), including 100% of patients with B12-deficient anaemia. With ASH, H. pylory contamination was present in 80.0% with anaemia, including 100% of patients with B12-deficient anaemia. In patients with SH of mixed etiology, H. pylory contamination was present in 100.0% of people with AS.

Prevalence Of Anemia

Background: In this study, the aim was to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D, vitamin B12, ferritin, and folate deficiencies in adolescence to clarify the need for early diagnosis and therapy. Methods: The medical records of adolescents between 10 and 18 years of age between 01 September 2018 and 28 February 2019 as healthy with non-specific complaints, or due to well-child care visits, were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 1847/2507 (73.6%) adolescents were included in the study. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 25.7% (n: 178/691). Vitamin B12 deficiency prevalence was 69.2% (n: 753/1088). The prevalence of anemia and ferritin deficiency was 4.8% and 13.26%. The prevalence of folate deficiency was 37.9% (n: 413/1088). VDD prevalence was statistically significantly higher in females than males (F/M:116/62). VB12D prevalence, the number and mean age of females with hemoglobin deficiency, and low ferritin levels was found to be statistically significantly higher in females than males. Conclusions: The prevalence of vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate deficiency and low ferritin levels was found to be high among adolescents. In particular, adolescents admitting with non-specific complaints and for control purposes in big cities must be considered to be at risk for the deficiency of these vitamins and low level of ferritin.

Information and communication technology (ICT)-based reading interventions have potential to help children with reading difficulties, especially those in resource-constrained environments who otherwise might not have access to support. This pilot study aimed to describe the impact of an online, partner-supported reading intervention designed for South African children with reading difficulties. Objectives were to qualitatively describe participants’ experience of the intervention, and quantitatively evaluate changes in reading accuracy, rate, comprehension and receptive vocabulary after intervention. Two studies were conducted: (1) A retrospective analysis using data from intervention in mainstream Cape Town schools with peers as reading partners; (2) A prospective study in a Cape Town school with special needs educational provision where speech-language therapists served as reading partners. Both studies used matched participant, pre/post intervention designs. A total of 40 children in grades 3 to 6 participated. In each study the intervention group ( n = 20) received intervention 3 times per week (30 minutes per session) for 10 weeks, while the control group ( n = 20) continued with regular school activities. Participants enjoyed the ICT-based intervention, valued the role of the reading partners, believed they had made literacy gains, and reported positive attitudinal and behavioural changes related to reading. Retrospective analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between intervention and control groups. The prospective study found a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups’ gains on one measure of reading rate, but no significant difference in reading accuracy, vocabulary or reading comprehension gains. The study provides a preliminary description of one ICT-based reading intervention. Although an intervention effect could not be demonstrated, the changes noted in reading rate together with qualitative findings suggest a need for further research.

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.
