The last two decades in the development of conservative gynecological therapy are characterized by the wide development and application of various methods of physiotherapy, in particular diathermy. The latter method of treatment, for many reasons of a physical and biological nature, and also thanks to numerous good reviews from a number of authors, immediately took a dominant position in conservative therapy in all branches of medicine, especially in gynecology. Naturally, the principle of deep tissue heating was very tempting and promising for gynecologists in terms of solving the problem of successful treatment of advanced chronic diseases of the pelvic organs. Hence the enthusiasm for this method and setting too broad indications for the treatment of diathermy.

The objective: to study the incidence of gynecological diseases, clinical and hormonal parameters of the menstrual cycle in patients with benign hyper-plastic processes of breasts. Patients and methods. 65 women with various forms of mastitis were investigated. The following investigations were conducted: mammologistic and gynecological investigation, mommologistic X-ray investigation, ultrasound of breasts and of the pelvic organs, endometrial aspiration biopsy that was followed by cytology; when it was necessary the diagnostic laparoscopy, colposcopy, hysteroscope with curettage and morphological investigation of the endometrium, hormone research and rectal temperature measurements were conducted. Results. The frequency of the benign breast diseases was set: fibrocystic disease of breast – 32 women (49.2±6.20%), fibrous of breast – 16 women (24.6±5.34%), nodular of breasts – 8 women (12.3±4.07%), fibroadenoma – 6 women (9.2±3.59%), nodular disease of breasts on the background of fibroid changes – 3 women (4.6±2.60%). All in all, 96.9±2.14% of the patients had any gynecological diseases. Thus, the average age of the ‘debut’ of mastitis was 31.4±1.09 years; the hyper-plastic processes in the uterus was 35.2±1.17 years. Anovulation was detected in 17 (47.2±8.3%) patients, the lack of the luteal phase (NLF) was detected in 11 (30.6±7.6) patients. Conclusions. Identified hormonal changes are typical for patients with the hyper-plastic processes of the reproductive organs with different localization (breasts, uterus, ovaries). Due to the commonality of the hormone changes in most cases mastitis is combined with the various gynecological diseases (96.9±2.14%). Key words: gynecological pathology, hormonal changes, breast, factors of risk.

Mitochondrial Adaptations

The heat stress response is associated with several beneficial adaptations that promote cell health and survival. Specifically, in vitro and animal investigations suggest that repeated exposures to a mild heat stress (~40°C) elicit positive mitochondrial adaptations in skeletal muscle comparable to those observed with exercise. To assess whether such adaptations translate to human skeletal muscle, we produced local, deep tissue heating of the vastus lateralis via pulsed shortwave diathermy in 20 men and women ( n = 10 men; n = 10 women). Diathermy increased muscle temperature by 3.9°C within 30 min of application. Immediately following a single 2-h heating session, we observed increased phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase and ERK1/2 but not of p38 MAPK or JNK. Following repeated heat exposures (2 h daily for 6 consecutive days), we observed a significant cellular heat stress response, as heat shock protein 70 and 90 increased 45% and 38%, respectively. In addition, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, coactivator-1 alpha and mitochondrial electron transport protein complexes I and V expression were increased after heating. These increases were accompanied by augmentation of maximal coupled and uncoupled respiratory capacity, measured via high-resolution respirometry. Our data provide the first evidence that mitochondrial adaptation can be elicited in human skeletal muscle in response to repeated exposures to mild heat stress. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Heat stress has been shown to elicit mitochondrial adaptations in cell culture and animal research. We used pulsed shortwave diathermy to produce deep tissue heating and explore whether beneficial mitochondrial adaptations would translate to human skeletal muscle in vivo. We report, for the first time, positive mitochondrial adaptations in human skeletal muscle following recurrent heat stress. The results of this study have clinical implications for many conditions characterized by diminished skeletal muscle mitochondrial function.

Purpose of the study. To assess the chances of development of squamous intraepithelial cervical lesions of high degree (H‑SIL) in patients infected with human papillomavirus (HPV).Patients and methods. 75 HPV positive patients. The main group — with a histological diagnosis of H‑SIL (n=50), the control group — with a histological diagnosis without H‑SIL (n=25). Liquid-based cytology, colposcopy, cervical excision; HPV test, diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections — PCR in real time; a comprehensive bacteriological study. Assessment tool interconnections — odds ratio, categorical data analysis — statistical packages STATISTICA 6.0 and SPSS 22 "Statistical Package for the Social Sciences".Results. In the age group up to 30 years, the chances of H‑SIL development are 26 times higher, 30–40 years — 38 times higher compared to patients over 50 years (p<0.05). With a menstrual cycle of more than 35 days, the chances of H‑SIL development are 71 times greater than in patients with a normal menstrual cycle (p<0.05).Comparison of the chances of the presence of abnormal colposcopic patterns — the presence of significant lesions related to the II degree of colposcopic changes increases the chances of H‑SIL 8.4 times compared to the normal colposcopic pattern. The chances of development of H‑SIL in patients with colposcopy results of minor lesions (I degree), do not differ from those who have a normal colposcopic picture (p>0.05). The presence of chronic inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs. Earlier treatment of cervical diseases by destruction reduces the risk of H‑SIL 0.08 times. The presence of chronic diseases of the pelvic organs increases the risk of H‑SIL 24 times (p<0.05).Conclusion. The group at greatest risk of having H‑SIL -women 30–40 years, whose menstrual cycle is more than 35 days, with significant lesions according to the results of colposcopic examination, chronic diseases of the pelvic organs, which had not previously been carried out destruction of the cervix.

This paper presents major medical applications of microwave radiation in therapy and diagnostics of disorders of thermoregulation, especially hyperthermia and thermography. Microwave thermography is a thermal imaging system produced by self-emission, using emissivity differences to extend our vision beyond the shortwave red. Human tissues are partially transparent to microwaves, thus it is possible to detect the microwave of subcutaneous tissues in thermography, and to allow microwave energy penetration through subcutaneous tissues for deep-tissue heating in hyperthermia. The physics of microwave thermography together with the microwave properties and emission of body tissues are introduced. It is followed by reviews of the literature pertinent to microwave hyperthermia in therapy and treatment. Recent development in this field is briefly discussed.

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases, which has a negative effect on the women’s life quality and is one of the main causes of infertility. The early and preсise desease detection is essential to prevent the possibility of sequelae. From instrumental methods for the diagnosis of endometriosis ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and laparoscopy are currently used. MRI is the most informative non-invasive method in instrumental diagnosis of various forms of endometriosis. MRI of the pelvic organs has a high accuracy in the diagnosis of endometriosis and allows visualization of most endometriotic foci, including extraperitoneal, that allows you to properly plan treatment and prevent complications of the disease.
