The article presents literature data on changes in labo­ratory parameters in new coronavirus infection COVID-19 and the results of our own researches. It was found that in the first three days after hospitalization, most patients had normocytosis, a normal number of lymphocytes. In the mild form, there were slightly more people with normal or with an increased number of leukocytes, granulocytes, but in moderate course, leukopenia, lymphopenia, granulocytosis and granulocytopenia, thrombocytosis, thrombocytopenia were registered more often. At the same time, in the mild form, there were more patients with an increased number of band neutrophils. In mild course, there were no individuals with an increased number of band neutrophils after 3 days in the hospital. Leukocytosis, lymphopenia, granulocytosis were no longer detected after 6 days in the hospital; during this period, the number of patients with leukopenia, thrombocytopenia also decreased significantly, most people had normocytosis. In patients with moderate-to-severe course, leukocytosis and leukopenia were observed for a longer period than with the mild course, even after 10 days in hospital. Most patients had normocytosis. By the sixth day of hospital stay, there were more individuals with granulocytosis (no such patients were registered at a later date), with an increased number of band neutrophils. After 6 days, there was greater number of patients with lymphocytosis, thrombocytosis and lymphocytopenia.

The article presents the literature review data on the community-acquired pneumonia and the survey of patients with community-acquired pneumonia during the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. There are no changes in the rate of leukocytosis detection in patients with mild course of the di­sease within 10 days of hospital stay. There is a tendency to increase the proportion of people with a normal number of leukocytes and lymphocytes from day 4–6 of hospital treatment. Significantly, leukopenia was detected in 9.3 % of patients 1–3 days after hospitalization and was not observed in the future. Lymphopenia was registered in the first 1–6 days of hospital stay and was not observed from day 7–9. Granulocytosis was detected in 27.6 % of patients on day 1–3 in the hospital and in the following days their percentage decreased significantly; at the same time, the number of people with normal range of granulocytes increased significantly. Normal platelet counts were observed in most patients (93.8 %) on day 1–3 of hospital stay, and thrombocytopenia was recorded only in 6.3 % of individuals on day 1–3 after hospitalization. In moderate-to-severe form, 24.7 % of patients had leukocytosis on day 1–3 of hospital stay, and on day 7–9 of treatment, it was detected already in 28.8 % (p > 0.05). The majority of patients (66.7 %) had normocytosis in the first three days, and leukopenia was observed in 8.7 % of people on day 1–3. Significantly, the share of detected lymphocytosis increased, and lymphopenia — decreased from 4–6 days of hospital stay. Granulocytosis was registered in 23.2 % of patients on day 1–3 of hospital stay, followed by a significant decrease in the percentage of granulocytes from days 4–6. Band neutrophils were elevated in the first three days among 51.6 % of patients, and their percen­tage significantly decreased after the fourth day. Most individuals (77.3 %) had a normal platelet count on day 1–3 in the hospital, and thrombocytopenia at this time was found in 16.7 %. The majority of patients aged 20–30 years had a normal number of leukocytes (65.5 %), and 25.5 % had leukocytosis 1–3 days after hospitalization. Lymphocytosis in the first 3 days was registered among 9 % of people and then increased significantly, lymphopenia was observed in 31 % of patients on day 1–3 and subsequently decreased, granulocytosis — in 25 % of cases, elevated levels of band neutrophils — in 43.8 %, thrombocytosis — in 7.3 %, thrombocytopenia — in 10.9 %. Among patients aged 31–40 years in the first 3 days after hospitalization, leukocytosis was registered in 28 % of cases, leukocyte count was normal in 72 %, leukopenia was not detected, 48 % of patients had lymphopenia, 15.8 % — granulocytosis, levels of band neutrophils were elevated in 65.2 %, thrombocytosis was observed in 8 % of cases, thrombocytopenia — in 8 %. Most patients (66.7 %) aged 41–50 years on day 1–3 after hospitalization had normocytosis, 19 % — leukocytosis, 14.3 % — leukopenia, 14.3 % — lymphocytosis, 38.1 % — lymphopenia, 3 (25 %) people had granulocytosis, levels of band neutrophils were elevated in 65 % of cases, thrombocytosis was detected in 4.8 %, thrombocytopenia — in 28.5 %. Among patients aged 51–60 years in the first 3 days after hospitalization, the following indicators of complete blood count were found: 16.1 % of individuals had leukocytosis, number of leukocytes was normal in 83.9 % of cases, leukopenia was not detected, lymphocytosis was found in 16.1 % of people, lymphopenia — in 22.6 %, granulocytosis — in 20 %, elevated levels of band neutrophils — in 39.3 %, thrombocytosis — in 3.2 %, thrombocytopenia — in 16.2 %. Patients older than 60 years on days 1–3 after hospitalization had the following changes: 38.8 % — leukocytosis, white blood cell count was normal in 49 % of cases, 12.2 % of people had leukopenia, 12.2 % — lymphocytosis, 51.1 % — lymphopenia, granulocytosis was not observed, 25 % had granulocytopenia, 60 % — elevated levels of band neutrophils, 8.2 % — thrombocytosis, and 18.3 % — thrombocytopenia.

Abstract Background Since the outbreak of COVID-19; social distancing and recognized effective precautions were recommended by various governments to fight the viral spread. Our aim was to assess the inpatient knowledge and compliance with the government guidelines during their hospital stay and at their discharge in two different NHS hospitals. Method The study took place in two hospitals: Berrywood hospital, UK and Countess of Chester hospital, UK. We invited inpatients to answer an anonymized questionnaire which was designed to include the contemporary government guidelines. We excluded patients with cognitive impairment and those who were not expected to be discharged within days. Results Out of 209 patients, 50% were male. Patients showed good awareness of the main symptoms of the virus (90%). However, A significant number of patients were not fully aware of the recommended precautions to minimize viral spread (28%) and the method of spread (43%). About 41% did not know the recommended safe distance. Conclusions Despite being aware of the main symptoms of COVID-19, a significant number of patients lack essential information needed to minimize the spread of the virus in the society and hospital. We recommend providing patients with information leaflets and direct advice on admission and discharge.

Introduction. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) a pandemic. The pandemic also significantly affected all academic, scientific and educational activities. Material and methods. We compared the work of the urological departments of the private (Medical Center Avicenna, Novosibisk) and municipal (City Clinical Hospital No. 11, Barnaul) clinics, as well as the urogenital department of the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Tuberculosis of the Ministry of Healthcare of Russia for 6 months of calm 2019, and the first half of 2020, which coincided with the start of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Results. In March 2020, the urogenital department of the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Tuberculosis of the Ministry of Healthcare of Russia was redesigned into an observational one. In the first half of 2020, patients with malignant neoplasms, varicocele, chronic pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, dropsy of the testicular membranes and with phimosis/paraphimosis were admitted to the urology department of the City Hospital No. 11 in Barnaul in the first half of 2020. On the contrary, statistically significant in 2020 the number of patients admitted for kidney abscess and acute prostatitis prevailed. It can be assumed that, due to the tense epidemic situation, patients postponed seeking medical attention until their condition required emergency intervention. In the Medical Center Avicenna (Novosibirsk) in the first half of 2020 the number of visits to the pediatric urologist significantly decreased, the inpatient and average bed-day decreased. On the contrary the total duration of the patients' stay in the day hospital has significantly increased, which is logically explained by the epidemic situation; there was a statistically significant decrease in the number of most operations and outpatient procedures. Conclusion. The new coronavirus infection has affected all spheres of human life, to a maximum extent on medicine. In the first six months, no unified approaches to the management of urological patients in epidemic conditions were developed; clinics worked according to internal standards. Our analysis showed that strict adherence to sanitary and hygienic standards and the implementation of anti-epidemic measures allows us to provide urological care to patients in full-even in such unfavorable conditions.

Purpose. To analyze a clinical case of fungal uveitis in a patient who has undergone COVID-19. Material and methods. A patient born in 1962 was admitted to the Kaluga branch of the MNTK with complains of blurred vision. From the anamnesis: in the first half of 2020, he was treated at the Kaluga branch of the MNTK with a diagnosis of complicated cataract, highly complicated myopia, PCRD, CCRD, pigmentary glaucoma; in the autumn of 2020, he suffered a coronavirus infection complicated by severe bilateral interstitial pneumonia, he was in the intensive care unit for 2 weeks. Results. During examination of the patient, the clinical picture and data of objective methods indicated the development of bilateral uveitis in the patient. A course of anti-inflammatory therapy was prescribed, and positive dynamics were achieved. But there was a sharp deterioration on the 10th day. Concilium was held: a fungal etiology of uveitis was suspected. The anterior chamber was washed, material from the anterior chamber was taken for bacterial culture. At the 3rd day the results of bacterial culture showed the growth of Candida albicans fungi. A multistage complex medical and surgical treatment was carried out. The outcome is encouraged however, the observation time is insufficient to draw final conclusions. Conclusion. The incidence of COVID-19 remains high, so ophthalmologists should remain vigilant, collect a careful anamnesis and expect an increase of the number of patients with intraocular fungal infection. Key words: uveitis; fungal infection; COVID-19.

Two fatal cases of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis are reported. A review of the literature shows the prognosis of this disease to be, at least in young patients, somewhat better than generally thought. A positive diagnosis in the living patient is possible with the help of certain diagnostic measures which are discussed. Increasing familiarity with the rather typical manifestations of this disorder may lead to the discovery of a larger number of patients who have a mild form of the disease. The value of splenectomy and therapy with adrenocorticotropin and cortisone is still questionable, but further trials are necessary, possibly together with the use of antihistaminic drugs. Intermittent increases in pressure in the pulmonary circulation, due to a defective vasomotor control, appears to be the most likely pathogenetic mechanism but more investigations are needed to arrive at any positive conclusion.

To provide dynamic monitoring of the treatment effectiveness in the case of patients with a new coronavirus infection, it is important to consider that simple and illustrative methods are needed. A clinical blood test is the first and mandatory patients’ examination. This article presents the analysis of the leukocyte formula parameters and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in COVID-19 patients before treatment and during the period from the 1st to the 15th day of standard treatment. Therefore, lymphocytopenia, neutrophilosis, and increased ESR were recorded upon the patients’ admission to the hospital. Statistically significant deviations were manifested on the 10th day of treatment in the absolute WBC count increase in the case of existing leukopenia. During treatment, an increase in the number of patients with normal ESR, as well as a decrease in neutrophilosis, leukopenia and lymphopenia was observed, but no statistically significant differences were found.

The aim of the work was to analyze the results of the observation of the postoperative period in patients with surgical aortic pathology after surgical intervention using cardiopulmonary bypass. 118 patients with surgical aortic pathology (SAP) were examined. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Group I included 46 patients who were additionally prescribed a solution of meglumin sodium succinate (reamberin), group II included 46 patients who were additionally assigned a solution of D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate sodium hydrate salt (esophosphine). The control group (K) consisted of 26 patients who had surgical pathology of the aorta, all the criteria coincided with patients of groups I and II, but did not have additional substances as part of intensive care (IT) in order to prevent postoperative cognitive dysfunction (PСD). Analyzed the patient's condition on a scale of postoperative mortality prediction EuroSCORE II, the depth of anesthesia with a BIS monitor, the qualitative composition of the leukocyte formula, nasal and rectal temperature, blood gas composition, electrolyte level, glucose, lactate, coagulogram indices, hemolysis and phosphates; levels of autoantibodies to brain antigens (MBP, calcium binding protein S-100, NSE and GBA) were determined in the serum by ELISA a day before the operation and on the first, third, seventh and fourteenth day after surgery. The morphometric and functional properties of erythrocytes were investigated the day before the operation (starting level), 12:00 after the operation, and on the third day of hospital stay. The initial assessment of the cognitive abilities of the patients was made the day before the operation, on the third, seventh and fourteenth day of hospital stay. Used to determine the magnitude of the coefficient of linear Pearson correlation. In the analysis, no significant differences were found between the preliminary data on the phosphorus content in the patients' blood, however, the recovery dynamics of its numbers differed in the K, I and II patients. So, in group K and in group I, after 12:00 after surgery, the level of phosphatemia was 0.86 ± 0.21 mmol/l and 0.85 ± 0.18 mmol / l, on the 3rd day of hospital stay — 0,94 ± 0.08 mmol/l and 0.97 ± 0.04 mmol/l, on the 7th day — 1.04 ± 0.16 mmol/l and 1.07 ± 0.21 mmol/l and on The 14th day — 1.08 ± 0.12 mmol/l and 1.1 ± 0.14 mmol/l. It can be noted that the dynamics of blood phosphatemia in patients of groups K and I was identical, its figures almost coincided in terms of the level of phosphorus in the blood and the corresponding number of patients in the variation rows of patients in both groups. It may be noted that there is an unconditional positive effect on the course of the perioperative period of the option of infusion therapy in the IT complex in patients of group II.

Background: Various studies have shown the effects of morbid obesity on the adverse consequences of various surgeries, especially postoperative infections. However, some studies have shown that the complications of spinal surgery in obese and non-obese patients are not significantly different. Objectives: This study investigated and compared the duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, and complications after common spinal surgeries by orthopedic spine fellowship in obese and non-obese patients in a specialized spine center in Iran. Methods: All patients who underwent decompression with or without lumbar fusion were included in this retrospective study. These patients were classified into two groups: non-obese (BMI <30 kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). The data related to type and levels of surgery, 30-day hospital complications, length of hospital stay, rate of postoperative wound infection, blood loss, and need for transfusion were all extracted and compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 148 patients (74%) were in the non-obese group and 52 patients (26%) in the obese group. The number of patients that need packed cells was significantly higher in the obese group (51.8% vs 32.6%) (P=0.01). Otherwise, there were not a significant difference between type of treatment (fusion or only decompression) (P=0.78), interbody fusion (P=0.26), osteotomy (P=0.56), duration of surgery (P=0.25), length of hospital stay (P=0.72), mean amount of blood loss (P=0.09), and postoperative complications (P=0.68) between the two groups. Conclusion: Our results suggest that duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications are not associated with the BMI of the patients.

The Impact

COVID-19 нанес серьезный удар по системам здравоохранения многих стран мира, включая Республику Казахстан. Чтобы справиться с пандемией, Казахстан разработал план, содержащий три стратегические цели: 1) предотвращение вспышки болезни; 2) Обеспечение оптимального ухода для всех пациентов и 3) Сведение к минимуму воздействия пандемии на системы здравоохранения, социальные услуги и экономическую деятельность. Однако неравномерное распределение финансовых ресурсов по регионам, нерегулярное потребление медицинских услуг и различия в показателях здоровья препятствуют этим усилиям. Другие проблемы - это нехватка медицинских сил, неожиданность ситуации, отсутствие знаний о коронавирусной инфекции и бессилие перед этой новой болезнью. Были трудности с массовым тестированием, поскольку стигма и страх перед карантином вынуждали людей не проходить тестирование. После отмены чрезвычайного положения и строгой изоляции страну охватила эйфория, которая привела к резкому увеличению числа случаев заболевания. Чтобы взять ситуацию под контроль в июне 2020 года был экстренно введен второй локдаун, постепенно стало уменьшаться количество больных и инфицированных. Пандемия показала, насколько хрупка и зависима система: была отложена плановая вакцинация детям до 1 года, временно приостановлено медицинское обследование и оказание медицинских услуг больным хроническими, онкологическими заболеваниями, плановая госпитализация. Многие врачи и медсестры заразились и заболели. На момент написания этой статьи эпидемиологическая ситуация в стране с COVID-19 находится под контролем и надзором, однако давать какие-либо прогнозы относительно его завершения пока рано. Казахстан готовится к вакцинации от коронавирусной инфекции, в первую очередь вакцинации должны подвергаться группы риска, медицинские и социальные работники, а также люди с хроническими заболеваниями. Пока коллективный иммунитет не сформирован, казахстанцы должны проявлять осторожность при снятии ограничений, чтобы предотвратить взрыв новых случаев заболевания. COVID-19 has strained the healthcare systems of many countries worldwide including the Republic of Kazakhstan. To cope with the pandemic, Kazakhstan mounted a plan containing three strategic objectives: 1) Preventing the outbreak of the disease; 2) Ensuring optimal care for all patients, and 3) Minimizing the impact of the pandemic on health systems, social services, and economic activities. However, the uneven distribution of financial resources across regions, irregular consumption of medical services, and inconsistent health indicators hamper these efforts. Other issues are the lack of medical forces, the unexpectedness of the situation, lack of knowledge on coronavirus infection, and powerlessness in front of this new disease. There were difficulties in mass testing as stigma and fear from quarantine forced people not to get tested. The euphoria enveloped the country after abolishing the emergency state after an intense lockdown which resulted in increased cases. A second lockdown was urgently introduced in June 2020 to take control of the situation. The number of patients and those infected gradually began to decline. The pandemic showed the fragility and inter-dependence of the health system- planned vaccinations against many infectious diseases were postponed. Medical examination and provision of medical services to patients with chronic, oncological diseases, planned hospitalization were temporarily halted. Many doctors and nurses became infected and ill. The country's COVID-19 epidemiological situation is somewhat under the control and supervision as of this writing. However, to give any forecasts for its completion is still too early. Kazakhstan is preparing to vaccinate against coronavirus infection. First of all, risk groups, medical and social workers, and people with chronic diseases should be subject to vaccination. Until herd immunity is not formed, Kazakhstanis must keep caution when the restrictions are taken off to prevent an explosion of new disease cases.

Повышение качества оказания помощи больным новой коронавирусной инфекцией COVID-19 возможно только на основе мультидисциплинарного подхода. Оценка пищевого статуса и при необходимости его коррекция являются важной составляющей комплексных программ лечения и реабилитации таких больных. Значительное число пациентов с COVID-19 составляют люди пожилого и старческого возраста, у которых уже есть признаки нутритивной недостаточности. Нарушения питания и сопутствующая им саркопения – факторы риска неблагоприятного течения COVID-19. Прогрессирование саркопении при COVID-19 объясняют возникновением вирусного миозита, миопатией, спровоцированной цитокинами, и иммобилизацией. Уменьшение мышечной массы ассоциировано с плохим прогнозом заболевания и снижением качества жизни. Коррекция нарушений пищевого статуса больных COVID-19 должна проводиться на всех этапах лечения. Важность проблемы нутритивной поддержки отражена во множестве публикаций, посвященных лечению больных COVID-19. Необходимо заметить, что Европейское общество клинического питания и метаболизма (European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, ESPEN) в кратчайшие сроки выпустило рекомендации по нутритивной поддержке больных новой коронавирусной инфекцией, что лишний раз подчеркивает актуальность проблемы. Это стало логичным продолжением рекомендаций по коррекции пищевого статуса больных, находящихся на лечении в отделении реанимации и интенсивной терапии. Аналогичные клинические рекомендации были разработаны в Великобритании, Бразилии и целом ряде других стран. Использование препаратов для перорального дополнительного питания в большинстве случаев позволяет обеспечить потребности пациентов в необходимых нутриентах, уменьшить выраженность саркопении и повысить эффективность реабилитационных мероприятий. Improving the quality of care for patients with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 is possible only on the basis of a multidisciplinary approach. Evaluation of nutritional status and, if necessary, its correction are an important component of comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation programs for such patients. A significant number of patients with COVID-19 are elderly and senile people who already have signs of nutritional deficiency. Eating disorders and accompanying sarcopenia are risk factors for the adverse course of COVID-19. The progression of sarcopenia in COVID-19 is explained by the occurrence of viral myositis, myopathy provoked by cytokines, and immobilization. Decreased muscle mass is associated with poor disease prognosis and reduced quality of life. Correction of nutritional disorders in patients with COVID-19 should be carried out at all stages of treatment. The importance of the problem of nutritional support is reflected in many publications devoted to the treatment of patients with COVID-19. It should be noted that the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) promptly issued recommendations on nutritional support for patients with new coronavirus infection, which once again emphasizes the urgency of the problem. This was a logical continuation of the recommendations for correcting the nutritional status of patients undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit. Similar clinical guidelines have been developed in the UK, Brazil and a number of other countries. The use of drugs for oral supplementary nutrition in most cases allows to meet the needs of patients for the necessary nutrients, to reduce the severity of sarcopenia and to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures.
