The Impact ◽

Disease Specific

Background: Integrated disease management with self-management for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is effective to improve clinical outcomes. eHealth can improve patients’ involvement to be able to accept and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Eventhough there is mixed evidence of the impact of eHealth on quality of life (QoL) in different settings. Aim: The primary aim of the e-Vita-COPD-study was to investigate the effect of use of eHealth patient platforms on disease specific QoL of COPD patients. Methods: We evaluated the impact of an eHealth platform on disease specific QoL measured with the clinical COPD questionnaire (CCQ), including subscales of symptoms, functional state and mental state. Interrupted time series (ITS) design was used to collect CCQ data at multiple time points. Multilevel linear regression modelling was used to compare trends in CCQ before and after the eHealth intervention. Results: Of 742 invited COPD patients, 244 signed informed consent. For the analyses, we only included patients who actually used the eHealth platform (n = 123). The decrease of CCQ-symptoms was 0,20% before the intervention and 0,27% after the intervention; this difference was statistically significant (P=0.027). The decrease of CCQ-mental was 0,97% before the intervention and after the intervention there was an increase of 0,017%; this difference was statistically significant (P=0,01). No significant difference was found in the slopes of CCQ (P=0,12) and CCQ-function (P=0,11) before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The e-Vita eHealth platform had a potential beneficial impact on the CCQ-symptoms of COPD patients, but not on functional state. The CCQ-mental state remained stable after the intervention, but this was a deterioration compared to the improving situation before the start of the eHealth platform. In conclusion, this study shows that after the introduction of the COPD platform, patients experienced fewer symptoms, but their mental state deteriorated slightly at the same time. Therefore, health care providers should be aware that, although symptoms improve, there might be a slight increase in anxiety and depression after introducing an eHealth intervention to support self-management.

The aim: Is to assess the functional state of parotid glands and general secretion in patients with compression, dislocation dysfunction of TMJ, to correct the revealed disorders. Materials and methods: We examined 46 patients with dysfunction of TMJ. Examination included TMJ zonography and salivary glands sonography. We studied the general and parotid secretion, transparency, viscosity, pH of the oral fluid and the secretions of the parotid glands before and after treatment. The treatment of dysfunction and hyposialosis included the repositioning of the articular heads of the lower jaw in the correct anatomical position, the use of a repositioning plate on the posterior teeth at the compression side of the articular head, bougienage of the duct of the parotid gland, administration of 10% magnesium-mineral solution of bischofite into the gland. Results: In patients with TMJ dysfunction, a significant decrease in the oral fluid content was noted before treatment. The saliva transparency was reduced, the viscosity was increased, the pH was slightly acidic. A study, which was carried out a month after completion of the course of treatment showed that all the studied parameters corresponded to those in healthy individuals. Conclusions: The study confirmed that in compression and dislocation dysfunction of TMJ, there are disorders of the functional state of the salivary glands.

Before And After

The purpose of the work to study echocardiographic parameters before and after the induction of superovulation to determine the nature of the effect of extracorporeal fertilization on the functional state of the cardiovascular system in healthy women of reproductive age. Materials and methods. The article presents the results of clinical and instrumental examination of 80 practically healthy women (mean age 32.3 3.5 years). All women were examined twice before and after induction of superovulation during extracorporeal fertilization. Results. It was established that a decrease in the stroke volume of blood (p 0.001) was accompanied by a compensatory increase in heart rate (p 0.001). These changes ensured the stability of the minute blood volume after induction of superovulation (before 51.1 1.1 ml; after 52.1 1.2 ml; p 0.05). After induction of superovulation in women, an increase in the integral systolic index of cardiac remodeling was noted (before 108.7 2.5 units; after 118.5 4.7 units; p 0.001), an indicator of myocardial stress in systole (before 111.5 6.7 dyne/cm2; after 127.3 7.4 dyne/cm2; p 0.001) and the indicator of myocardial stress in diastole (before 139.4 6.8 dyne/cm2; after 165.7 7.9 dyne/cm2; p 0.001). In practically healthy women, after induction of superovulation, the left ventricular ejection fraction increased (before 71.3 4.2%; after 74.8 4.1%; p 0.001). The revealed dynamics is regarded as a response of the myocardium to a change in the hormonal background during superovulation induction. This is evidenced by the correlation between the estradiol level and the left ventricular ejection fraction (r = 0.36; p 0.05). Conclusion. Induction of superovulation does not adversely affect systolic and diastolic function of the left ventricle. However, after these manipulations there is an increase in systolic and diastolic myocardial stress, which reflects myocardial stress in response to hemodynamic changes. Remodeling indices are more informative for evaluating maladaptive and adaptive variants of myocardial changes in healthy women than traditional echocardiographic indicators. In this regard, remodeling indices should be used as additional indicators of the functional state of the heart in women before and after the induction of superovulation in vitro fertilization.

Objective – before and after the treatment to determine the functional state of the liver, serum levels of enzymes and biochemical indices in syphilis patients with viral hepatites B and C. The results of the study are based on the data from a comprehensive examination of 35 patients with syphilis alone and 127 patients with syphilis co-infected with viral hepatites B and C before and after treatment. Test methods: hepatology, rheogeopathography, enzyme content and biochemical parameters determined in the serum. According to the results of radionuclide hepatology it has been established that disorders of the functional capacity of the liver already occur in the early stages of the disease. The most significant disorders have been in the patients with the prescription of infection for more than 12 months and in the patients co-infected with viral hepatites B and C. A disorder of pigment metabolism and increased activity of transaminases have been revealed in early latent syphilis. In co-infection with viral hepatites B and C an increase in total bilirubin, Lactate dehydrogenase, Alanine transaminase, Aspartate aminotransferase and albumin has been revealed. Dysproteinemia has been revealed in patients with early latent syphilis co-infected with hepatitis C. Patients with early latent syphilis treated with immunomodulators tend to normalize these indices. In patients with syphilis a disorder of the functional state of the liver have been revealed already at an early stage of the disease. The most pronounced disorder of biochemical parameters and activity of liver enzymes are observed in syphilis patients with viral hepatites B and C, as well as in patients with early latent syphilis only with the prescription of the infection for more than 12 months; in such a case it is advisable to use drugs affecting the immune system.

Stress At Work

In many countries, burnout due to stress at work is recognized as a professionally related disease. Of great importance for its prevention is the introduction of health-saving technologies.The aim of the research was to assess the state of their psycho-emotional sphere, the adequacy of the methodological complex used for psychodiagnostics, and the effectiveness of short-term psychological assistance projects by means of socialadapting and personal-developing technologies on the example of 2 groups of typical representatives with intellectual type of professional activity.In the study, consisting of three stages, two groups of subjects took voluntary part: 13 methodologists of the University and 20 managers of a trading fi rm. The first stage of the study consisted in the initial psychodiagnostics of indicators of the emotional sphere and functional state of the subjects. Different versions of psychodiagnostic tools were developed for each group. The second stage consisted in development and approbation of projects of short-term psychological help to workers. At the third stage the analysis of indicators of emotional sphere at subjects before and after participation in projects is carried out. The results of the study were processed using the usual methods of variational statistics according to the program Statistica 12.0. Initial psychodiagnostics of the studied parameters of the subjects showed signs of professional burnout. In Methodists, this was manifested by a pronounced degree of chronic fatigue index, a decrease in efficiency, a moderate degree of mental and physical fatigue, maladaptation in stress. Managers are also diagnosed with a high risk of maladjustment in stress, low values of indicators of functional state. In the course of participation in psychopath projects, the subjects of both groups showed positive dynamics of indicators of the emotional sphere.The obtained data allow to recommend these projects of health saving programs for practical use. The tested complex of psychodiagnostic tests allows to reveal signs of professional burnout and to estimate efficiency of programs of psychopathology. For the prevention of burnout syndrome and the formation of stress resistance, it is advisable to create a culture of health conservation at each workplace.
