Purpose: to study the effectiveness of seydana (black cumin) oil in combined treatment of herpetic endothelial keratitis. Material and methods. The study included 68 patients (68 eyes) with herpetic endothelial keratitis, developed after cataract surgery. 35 men and 33 women aged 39 to 73 (58.3 ± 8.9) years were divided into two equal groups. The main group (34 patients, 34 eyes) received conventional treatment supplemented with black cumin oil, while the comparison group of 34 patients (34 eyes) received conventional treatment alone.Results. Cornea infiltration in the main group resorbed sooner than in the comparison group (18.43 ± 0.3 days and 23.2 ± 0.5 days respectively; p < 0.05). The treatment lasted shorter in the main group compared with the comparison group (22.1 ± 0.1 days vs. 25.2 ± 0.3 days; p < 0.05). Complete epithelialization was averagely noted on the 19th to the 21st day of treatment (respectively, 19.6 ± 0.9 and of 21.12 ± 0.6; p > 0.05). Visual acuity improved to achieve, respectively, 0.51 ± 0.24 and 0.44 ± 0.17 (p > 0.05).Conclusion. The patients who received seydana oil in addition to conventional treatment showed a significantly higher therapeutic effect in some parameters (resorption time of corneal infiltration and duration of treatment) than the comparison group.

Background. The variety of the clinical features of vascular tumors in the maxillofacial area limits the choice of method and is able to make difficulties in the treatment. The combined method of treatment proposed by the authors (vascular sclerotherapy with concurrent propranolol intake) demonstrates high efficacy, lack of invasiveness, shortening the rehabilitation period and less side effects. Objective. The aim of the study was to increase the effectiveness of conservative treatment of vascular tumors of the maxillofacial area in young children by combining the method of sclerotherapy and taking propronolol. Methods. In a cohort study, the results of treatment of 80 children aged 2 months to 2 years with vascular tumors of the maxillofacial region (ICD-10: D18.0) were evaluated. A comparison was made of the results in 2 groups of children who were treated with different methods: combined (n =40; main group; sclerotherapy and taking propranolol) and propranolol monotherapy (n =40; comparison group). Analysis of the data obtained in the main group and the comparison group led to the development of the criteria for evaluating the treatment results: good (regression of vascular tumors and the absence of a cosmetic defect), satisfactory (reduction of vascular tumors by 2/3 or more with maintaining cosmetic defect) and unsatisfactory (gross cosmetic defect) in terms of changes in the volume of tumor, the diameter of the supply vessels and the values of the linear velocity of blood flow according to ultrasound data. Results. Subjects treated by the combined treatment had a significant regression of vascular tumors in the maxillofacial area compared with the comparison group: reduction of the tumor volume, diameter of the supply vessels and linear blood flow velocity according ultrasound data reached zero after 6 months from the start of combined treatment — 6 months earlier than in the comparison group (p <0.001). Conclusion. According to the results of the study, the advantage of the author’s method over the traditional method was demonstrated, which resulted in a reduction in the duration of treatment, a decrease in the risk as well as in a degree of complications.

The paper is aimed at optimal treatment of posttraumatic cervical pathology. 192 patients with cervical erosive ectropion (67 patients with CIN I) have been observed. The results of the conventional treatment made according to the clinical protocols (control group; n = 64) have been compared with the results of the patient's management according to the proposed algorithm (main group; n = 128). The algorithm includes microsurgical intervention, prolonged use of combined oral contraceptives or dienogest during 6–12 weeks, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs immediately after excision, and regenerative agents not earlier than at the fourth week after the excision. The six months after the minor operation the positive therapeutic effect was 1,7 times higher in the main group. The frequency of complications was significantly lower: implant cervical endometriosis – 3,6 times, retention cysts – 4,2 times, abnormal scarring – 3,8 times, relapses of endocervical ectopia and CIN – 2,2 times, postcoagulation hemorrhage – 2,75 times, leukoplakia – 2,6 times. The use of integrated algorithm in the treatment of the cervical erosive ectropion is clinical reasonable.

Purpose: to compare the clinical results of implantations of bi-and trifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. Patients and methods. The article presents the results of the Acrysof IQ Panoptix trifocal lens implantations in 84 patients (112 eyes) — the main group and Acrysof IQ Restor bifocal IOL implantations in 52 patients (98 eyes) — the control group. All patients underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). The following data were evaluated: uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) , uncorrected near visual acuity (30–45 cm) and at an average distance (50–70 cm) at discharge, after 14 days, 1 and 3 months after the surgery under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions. Postoperative refractometry data; the defocusing curve was performed in patients with a high UCDVA (0.9–1.0) monocularly under photopic conditions using standard optotypes 14 days after surgery; aberrometry indicators. Results. It was shown that both lenses provided high uncorrected distance and near visual acuity in photopic lighting conditions. At the same time, the Acrysof IQ Panoptix lens provided significantly better visual acuity at an intermediate distance and was more resistant to defocusing conditions. Refraction data: after 1 month, emmetropia was observed in 87 % of patients in the main group and in 85 % of control group, after 6 months — 92 and 89 % respectively. There were no significant differences in high order aberrations and total aberrations between patients of the compared groups. Conclusion. The use of the PanOptix trifocal lens made it possible to obtain maximum visual acuity at different distances, regardless of the level of illumination.

Aim. To assess the antioxidant capacity in patients with the «dry» form of age-related macular degeneration before and after combined treatment with polarized polychromatic non-coherent light and dynamic electromyostimulation. Methods. Two groups of patients with the «dry» form of age-related macular degeneration were examined. 40 patients (80 eyes) from the main group were treated using combined treatment and 39 patients (78 eyes) in the group of control who were treated conventionally. The integral blood antioxidant capacity was measured by galvanometry. Results. Blood antioxidant capacity in healthy subjects is 26.0 kC/l. In patients of the main group blood antioxidant capacity before the treatment was equal to 22.81±0.27 kC/l, compared to 22.17±0.20 kC/l in control group (total mean value 22.49±0.27 kC/l). There was a relevant elevation of the blood antioxidant capacity at the late stages after the treatment - up to 12 months, compared to only 2 months in the control group. Visual acuity in patients of the main group before the treatment was 0.87±0.02, after the treatment was finished - 0.96±0,01 (p 0.001), 2 months after the treatment - 0.95±0.01 (p 0.001), 6 months after the treatment - 0.96±0.01 (p 0.001), 12 months after the treatment - 0.95±0.01 (p 0.001). Visual acuity in patients of the control group before the treatment was 0.91±0.02, after the treatment was finished - 0.95±0.02 (p 0.05), 2 months after the treatment - 0.94±0.02 (p 0.05), 6 months after the treatment - 0.92±0.02 (p 0.05). 12 months after the treatment the visual acuity deteriorated compared to the treatment start and was measured as 0.89±0.02. Conclusion. There is a decrease of blood antioxidant capacity (22.49±0.27 kC/l) in patients with the «dry» form of age-related macular degeneration; a relevant increase of blood antioxidant capacity and visual acuity can be observed up to 12 months after the treatment with polarized polychromatic non-coherent light and dynamic electromyostimulation.

The objective: to evaluate the efficacy of tranexamic acid (Tranexam drug) accompanied by pregnancy with a partial detachment of a normally located placenta in the second trimester of pregnancy in women with a history of obstetrical gynecological anamnesis. Patients and methods. Under observation were 75 patients with complicated retrochorial hematoma at first trimester of pregnancy, re-hospitalized at the time of 18–21 weeks with signs of premature placental abruption. The blind method of the patient was randomized into two groups (baseline and comparison), which differed in the type of haemostatic therapy. Clinical groups were formed by age (26.5±0.8 and 27.4±1.1 years, respectively), parity, gestational age, somatic and obstetric-gynecological history, localization and approximate sizes of retroplacental hematomas were comparable. Patients from both groups received sublingual micronized progesterone at a dose of 200 mg, anti-anemia and symptomatic therapy according to indications. In the main group, 45 pregnant women received a haemostatic therapy with the drug Tranexam (Stada): 750 mg at a single dose at a single dose of 1500 mg for 5 to 7 days before bleeding stopped. 30 patients, who underwent haemostatic therapy with sodium etamzilate in a complex of therapeutic measures, made a comparison group. The duration of hemorrhage from the genital tract, the regression of the retrohorial hematoma, the length of stay in the hospital, the prolongation and the consequences of pregnancy were estimated. Results. Clinically, a decrease in the intensity of bleeding with Tranexam was observed 24.6±2.1 hours after the initial dose, bleeding duration averaged 3.5±0.3 days, whereas in the group taking sodium etamzilate, the bleeding time was significantly longer – 4.9±0.2 days (p<0.05). These data correlated with ultrasound data confirming the absence of progression of retrochorial hematomas from the second day with the use of Tranexam in 34 (75.6%) of the women in the main group, whereas in the comparison group, similar changes occurred at the same time in only 10 (33.3%) of patients (p<0.5). The faster stopping of bleeding and, as a consequence, the organization and resorption of hematomas in the region of placental detachment in a shorter period affected the effects of pregnancy (the frequency of preterm labor in the comparison group occurred 2.2 times more often than in the main group). Conclusion. Taking into account the peculiarities of the physiological mechanisms of the functioning of the fibrinolytic system during the gestation period and the significance of their disturbances in the genesis of early and late gestational bleeding allows us to choose the most effective therapeutic tactics. Tranexam in effective daily doses with course duration of treatment of 5–7 days gives a pronounced haemostatic effect, does not cause side effects, and allows successfully prolonging the pregnancy and reducing the frequency of late gestational complications. Inclusion in the treatment complex of patients with recurrence of retroplacentar hematomas and formation of partial placental detachment in the second trimester of gestation of the preparation of antifibrinolytic action to Tranexam is an effective means not only to stop bleeding, but also to preserve pregnancy, prevent the formation of placental insufficiency and ensure favorable pregnancy outcomes. Accumulated experience allows attributing Tranexam to the drugs of the first choice in the clinic for miscarriage and recommending it for widespread use in practice. Key words: retroplacentar hematoma, pregnancy, antifibrinolytic therapy, Tranexam.

Purpose to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive method of treating dry eye syndrome against the background of chronic peripheral uveitis. Material and methods. The study was performed among 98 patients (196 eyes), who made up 2 observation groups: the main group (78 people) and comparison group (20 people). The main group was treated with a new method, the comparison group was prescribed local anti-inflammatory and tear replacement therapy. Results. Application of the combined treatment showed a significant decrease in OSDI and occurrence of changes in ocular surface (up to 100%), characteristic for the syndrome of «dry eye». The indicators of total tear production became higher up to 2 times from the initial level after the therapy. Conclusion: The use of a new complex method of treatment significantly reduces the subjective and objective manifestations of the "dry eye" syndrome, contributes to an increase in total tear production against the background of relief of inflammation on the extreme periphery of the fundus compared to traditional pharmacotherapy. Key words: dry eye syndrome, chronic peripheral uveitis, combined treatment method, laser coagulation of the extreme periphery of the retina.

Purpose. To increase the efficiency of surgical treatment and develop an algorithm for managing patients with the consequences of acute retinal necrosis (ARN).Material and methods. The study included 35 patients (42 eyes) aged 18 to 74 with acute retinal necrosis. All patients underwent a microinvasive (23 Ga) vitrectomy with membrane peel, endolaser coagulation of the retina and endotamponade of the vitreal cavity with silicone oil. The operated eyes were divided into 2 groups. The main group consisted of 17 eyes with a clinical picture of fibrosis of the vitreous without retinal detachment (10 eyes) and retinal detachment without pronounced fibrosis of the vitreous (7 eyes). The comparison group included 25 eyes which had retinal detachment and fibrosis of the vitreous at the time of surgery. The visual acuity varied between incorrect light projection and 0.15 with correction.Results. A stable anatomical and optical result was achieved in all cases. Complete adhesion of the detached retina was achieved in 94.1 %, which is explained by the fact that surgical treatment was in most cases performed in the absence of pronounced stages of proliferative vitreoretinopaty. In all cases of the main group, an increase in visual acuity was noted. In 53 % of cases, visual acuity achieved 0.1 to 0.3 and in the remaining 47 % it was 0.3 % or above. This can be accounted for by the prevalence of peripheral necrotic lesions, as well as a lower incidence of macular edema and optic neuropathy. However, in the comparison group, an increase in visual acuity was only observed in 56 % cases, with visual acuity reaching 0.1 or higher only in 24 % of the eyes. A high frequency (72 %) of necrosis expansion to the posterior eye pole with an irreversible damage to the optic nerve and the macular region was revealed.Conclusion. Active dynamic observation of patients with ARN helps detect changes requiring surgical treatment, which leads to higher functional and anatomical outcomes, as well helps avoid the disability of the patients. Surgical treatment prior to the formation of retinal detachment in severe traction syndrome with or without retinal tears is advisable. An algorithm was proposed for managing surgical patients, depending on the clinical manifestations of ARN effects.

To assess the effectiveness of using dienogest in combination with postoperative interventions in patients with endometriosis. There were enrolled 102 patients with signs of external endometriosis underwent examination and surgical treatment, subdivided into 2 groups: 67 – main group (after surgical treatment, received dienogest 2 mg/day for 6 months), 35 – comparison group received no hormone therapy in the postoperative period. Surgical treatment included removal of endometrioid ovarian cysts, endometriosis foci on the pelvic peritoneum and sacral uterine ligaments. Course of the early postoperative period (up to 1 month after the intervention) as well as the long-term dynamics of the disease manifestations (3, 6, 12 and 15 months later) were assessed. Dienogest was administered after surgical treatment due to endometriosis that reduced the severity of dyspareunia and intensity of chronic pelvic pain by 3.5- and 2-fold, respectively. The probability of achieving control over uterine bleeding 6 month after the onset of treatment due to endometriosis manifested with metrorrhagia showed that combination treatment (consisting of dienogest) was 3.19-fold higher compared to surgical treatment alone (OR = 3.19; 95 % CI = 1.70–11,0; p < 0,05). Recovery of normal menstrual cycle in 63 (94.0%) women of the main group was established 1.5–2 months after completing of hormonal treatment, while in the comparison group pain and dysmenorrhea relapsed in some patients at the 6-month follow-up. Decreased libido as a side effect in patients who treated with dienogest was observed in 2 (3.0 %) women. Dienogest was highly effective in the combination treatment of patients with verified endometriosis that resulted in reduced severity of pain and metrorrhagia. The drug was featured by low level of side effects. Thus, a combination treatment of endometriosis containing dienogest at a dose of 2 mg/day applied during postoperative period allows to reduce the severity of the disease clinical manifestations and improve treatment outcome.

Aim. To analyze the clinical and functional results of the combined technology for laser treatment of patients with the initial stages of idiopathic epiretinal membrane.Methods. This study included 3 groups of patients: the main group (32 patients) after the combined laser technology (subthreshold “grid” laser photocoagulation (LP) and subthreshold micropulse LP); control group (30 patients) which did not receive any treatment; comparison group (30 patients) after subthreshold “grid” LP. The assessment uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT) and central retinal sensitivity (CRS) was performed. The follow-up period was 5 years.Results. In the control group a slow decrease of UCVA, BCVA, CRS (p < 0.05) and an increasing CRT (p < 0.05) were observed. In the main group maximal UCVA, BCVA, CRS (p < 0.05) were marked from 3 to 6 months after laser treatment and there was a gradual decrease in the CRT indices. In the comparison group, a short-term positive effect was achieved up to 3 months with an increase of UCVA, BCVA, CRS (p < 0.05). 12 months post op there was an increase in CRT with a decrease of UCVA, BCVA, and CRS until the end of study.Conclusion. The technology of combined laser treatment showed high efficiency in control and comparison groups, with stabilization/increase of UCVA, BCVA, CRS and stabilization/improvement of the morphological parameters of the retina – the decrease of CRT with ERM involution.
