Introduction. Special conditions for the activity of specialists of the naval crews are often «forced» to function at the limit of the physiological capabilities of the body, requiring constant maintenance of a high level of physical working capacity. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of combined physical and normobaric hypoxic training for an emergency increase in the physical endurance of ship specialists and other representatives of «dangerous» occupations. Materials and methods. Were examined 18 men (10 people — the main group, 8 people — the control group) aged 19–22 years. The subjects of both groups performed workouts on exercise bikes: work power 1,2 W/kg, duration 2 hours, the total number of training sessions 14. For people of the main group, physical training was carried out under conditions of normobaric hypoxia created in the normobaric hypoxic complex, with an oxygen content of about 16% (15,9 kPa). In persons of the control group, hypoxia conditions were imitated: atmospheric air was supplied to the premises of the hypoxic complex. The physical endurance of the subjects was evaluated by the maximum oxygen consumption indicator. Results and its discussion. The studies revealed that the effectiveness of training in individuals of the main group turned out to be significantly higher compared to the control, as evidenced by the results of control tests of physical endurance, carried out both immediately after the training and in the long-term observation period. Thus, the method of combined physical and normobaric hypoxic training can be considered as an effective and safe means of emergency and persistent increase in physical endurance of ship specialists and of other categories of people with difficult and dangerous working conditions.

Introduction: During pregnancy in the body of a healthy woman there are physiological and psychological changes that contribute to the bearing a child and prepare the female for future labour and motherhood. In women who experience failure at the stage of fertilization or during pregnancy, as a result of prolonged negative emotional states, psycho-emotional stress develops. The aim of the research was to study the psycho-emotional state of women with infertility in history, whose pregnancy resulted from extracorporal fertilization (IVF), and to develop methods for reducing their anxiety. Materials and methods: At the first stage, the initial psycho-emotional state of 60 women in the second trimester, whose pregnancy resulted from IVF (Group I), was studied; the control group consisted of 20 healthy women with a physiological course of pregnancy (Group II). At the second stage, 10 art therapy exercises with a requestioning of pregnant women from Group I were conducted for improving their psycho-emotional state. Results: Women of Group I had a high level of both situational anxiety (SA) and the personal one (PA). The prevalent type of the psychological component of gestational dominant was anxiety and euphoric types (58.3%). In one third of women with burdened gynecological history examined mild or masked depression was diagnosed. 43 pregnant women from Group I used a method of psychocorrection – art therapy, which included colouring “antistress” pictures of perinatal topic, making flowers from paper and creating a collage of dreams. Conclusions: After the art therapy course, a high level of SA (from 46.5% to 7.0%) and OA (from 48.8% to 32.6%) decreased, the index of the optimal type of the psychological component of gestational dominant increased from 25.6% to 53.5%. The number of women without depression increased from 62.8% to 93%.

Modern high-tech industry intensifies the production load on operators. The problem of maintaining a high level of working capacity and error-free work is growing. Earlier studies revealed that the work of operators in hermetically sealed rooms is characterized by the following: monotony, hypokinesia, lack of psychological and industrial contacts, static muscle tension, as well as a lot of frequently repeated small movements caused by the fact that the technical system is controlled indirectly — through the remote control. The operator is affected by the factors of a closed production environment (microclimate) and the labor process (work and rest mode, long working shifts), which together form a general status called fatigue. The main factor that causes fatigue is the integral extensive intensity of the activity. The dynamics of physiological processes characterizing fatigue and the possibility of erroneous actions were evaluated. It is established that low-intensity factors, which form the working conditions of operators of high-tech industrial complexes, provoke persistent fatigue, a decrease in the functional reserves of the body, the development and aggravation of professionally caused diseases. The degree of fatigue was assessed by the indicators of the latent time of sensorimotor reactions, the stability of attention and the error of actions. The obtained data confirm the need in developing effective ways and means of maintaining working capacity. In particular, the regulated breaks and pauses filled with the specially developed schemes of isometric exercises, should be introduced (according to a special schedule) into the work and rest mode with a 12-hour schedule. The study substantiates the need for further making recommendations on the development of preventive measures to optimize the working conditions of the operators in high-tech industries.

It was conducted a comprehensive survey of 100 men with depressive disorders. The clinical, psychopathological and pathopsychological features of depressive disorders associated with suicidal behavior in men were analyzed. All subjects were divided into two groups: the main group consisted of 51 patients with signs of suicidal behavior, control group consisted of 49 patients without signs of suicidal behavior. It has been shown that the clinical structure of depressive disorders is presented by sad (in 35.5 % of patients in the main group and in 34.7 % of control group), emotionally labile (in 29.9 % and in 31.3 %, respectively) and apathetic (in 34.6 % and in 34.0 %) variants. It has been established, that men with depressive disorders associated with self-destructive behavior have a high level of suicidal risk, low self-awareness of death, major or moderate depressive episode by MADRS, severe depression by HAM-D, clinically severe anxiety and depression by HADS, presence of serious suicidal intentions on the Columbian scale. Suicidogenic factors in men with depressive disorders are frustration of basic needs, loss of targeted personality installations and alcohol consumption. Keywords: depressive disorders, depression, anxiety, suicidal behavior.

Background. Acetabular fractures are severe intra-articular injuries that require anatomical reposition and early function, but they are often complicated by degenerative changes in both the acetabulum and the femoral head, leading to the development of post-traumatic coxarthrosis. The purpose was to study the clinical effectiveness of surgical treatment and postoperative management of patients using autologous platelet-rich plasma in patients with fractures of the acetabulum. Materials and methods. Twenty-eight patients with acetabular fractures of various degrees were operated at the City Emergency Hospital of Zaporizhzhia and the Municipal Clinical Hospital No 9 from 2017 to 2019. Gender composition: 22 men (78.57 %), 6 women (21.43 %), average age 46.64 ± 2.21 years, with a 95% confidence interval 42.31–50.96. Nineteen victims (67.86 %) had road traffic injuries, 7 (25 %) domestic injuries, and 2 (7.14 %) had industrial injuries. Results. In the main group of patients treated with platelet-rich plasma, radiologically visible adhesion of the injured area after 8 weeks occurred in 10 people (83.4 %). In one person (8.3 %), the adhesion occurred after 12, and in another (8.3 %) — 16 weeks after surgery. In the control group, adhesions at 8th week were registered in 14 patients (60.87 %), in 8 (34.78 %) — at 16th week. Given the general recovery of the body in the main group, the activation and social adaptation of patients occurred 2–3 weeks earlier. The assessment was performed radiologically and by the criteria of functional recovery.

An original hypothesis for the detection of suicidal readiness has been proposed: the dissociation between low self-esteem of personal qualitiesand high level of claims in behavior exists in all types of suicides. The main point is that suicide occurs in a situation where environmental conditions are appear to be completely incompatible with a person’s self-esteem; preserving the personality then the protective adaptive response of the personality is accomplished in the most radical way – self-destruction. Therefore, to detect readiness for suicide, you can use the methods of experimental psychological (psychodiagnostic) research. These are methods of self-assessment of a situation, that is, a tests assessing one's own merits and determining the level of claims in behavior. Discrepancies in the performance of these tests will reflect the degree of readiness for suicide. Confirmation has been obtained through clinical and experimental psychological research. On the material of 240 subjects, the modified methods of Dembo – Rubinstein and Hoppe were used. The main group consisted of 160 persons who committed suicidal attempts, of which 98 women and 62 men, average age (41.0 ± 9.7) years, including 86 with depressive disorders, 46 with neurotic disorders and 28 mentally healthy. In the control group there were 80 healthy individuals who did not commit suicidal attempts, with identical gender balance, average age and social status. The modification of the methods was that the results were presented in quantitative terms in points. In the main group, the dissociation indicators between the high level of claims and low self-esteem according to the methods of Dembo – Rubinstein and F. Hoppe were 46.8 ± 4.6, and in the control group – 27.00 ± 5.24 (P < 0,001). The difference between dissociation in the main and control groups is very significant (P < 0,0005), a score of 40–45 points indicates a suicidal risk, and 50–55 and more confidently point to the upcoming suicide attempt. As a result, the hypothesis is confirmed and a valid method of predicting suicide or assessing the degree of its risk arises; the method is suitable for practical use.

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed special sports complex in the prevention of hypodynamia and obesity among firefighters-rescuers.Materials and methods. A survey of 490 men with no history of chronic infectious and non-infectious diseases aged 20-59 was conducted. 328 people were the main group, 162 people were the control group. The baseline data included anthropometric development indicators, bioimpedance test results, the extraction of biochemical blood test results; the body mass index (BMI) and the ratio of waist and hip circumference were determined. A questionnaire was conducted to identify hypodynamia (according to the IPAQ questionnaire) and the nutrition structure (according to the questionnaire on the food label literacy questionnaire, past). Both questionnaires were adapted to the Russian Federation. Statistica for Windows 8.0 was used for statistical processing. We used a comparison of the means of the Student method. To compare the values expressed in percent, the method of inverse trigonometric Fisher transformations was used.Results. We have developed and proposed for firefighters-rescuers, included in the main group, special sports complexes, which were used for 6 months. These complexes represent additional physical training by the developed method. There are two of them: one with an emphasis on the prevention and rehabilitation of people with osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, and the other for cervical and thoracic localization, including with a syndrome of shoulder-scapular periarthritis.Classes were held 3 times a week, the duration of 1 session was 45-50 minutes. The choice of the complex was carried out at the request of firefighters-rescuers. The first complex was selected by 52 people. Based on the results of the study, against the background of the use of sports complexes, there was a 2-fold decrease in the incidence of obesity. Such a high efficiency is due to the fact that obesity of the I degree prevailed among the firefighters-rescuers. In addition, the frequency of occurrence of dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypodynamia decreased.Conclusion. The use of this sports complex can reduce the risk factors for development of disability among rescue firefighters by preventing hypodynamia and reducing the incidence of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, as factors in the development of obesity.

The aim: was to improve the course of purulent wounds in diabetes by using physical therapies. Materials and methods: we investigated 122 patients with diabetes mellitus and wound processes. We divided all patients on the two groups. Our study groups were 50 patients who had therapy by ozone together with other general treatment and surgery treatment (daily dressings, ointments and solutions). Our control groups were 72 patients, who had treated only by general methods and surgery treatment (daily dressings, ointments and solutions).The patients of our explore group had received intravenous injection of saline ozone solution together with other general treatment and surgery treatment (daily dressings, ointments and solutions). Results: it had studied of indicators of oxidative modification of proteins, lipid peroxidation in blood plasma, antioxidant protection during this period, there were no significant changes in these parameters between the control and experimental groups. As the result of the study was found that the leukocyte index of intoxication in patients in the main and control groups was almost indistinguishable. Regarding the indexes of hematological index of intoxication, which decreased during the treatment of patients of the main group, and different from the patients of the control group, in which this indicator increased sharply. The result of the study of changes in the indicators of sorption capacity of erythrocytes showed that the level of sorption capacity of erythrocytes in patients in the main group during treatment, also decreased, compared with patients in the control group. Conclusions: Therefore, the use of ozone in the treatment of patients with complicated forms of diabetes does not cause a negative impact on the dynamics of homeostasis and indicators of the level of intoxication of the body. Ozone therapy has a beneficial effect on the course and wound process in patients with diabetes with purulent processes.

Introduction. In connection with the widespread introduction of osteopathy into practical medicine, new facts confi rming its effectiveness are appearing. These facts need theoretical justifi cation. The biodynamic approach is the least studied and scientifi cally proven approach in osteopathy. There are only a few works describing the benefi cial effects of this type of treatment on the autonomic nervous system based on an assessment of heart rate variability. One of the most sensitive indicators of changes in the state of the body is the electrical activity of the skin (EAS), which is widely used in modern polygraphic devices.Goal of research — to investigate the EAS in the physician and in the patient during the session of craniosacral biodynamics (CSB).Materials and methods. The study involved 32 patients who were randomly divided into 2 groups — control group (10 patients) and main group (22 patients). In the control group there were 8 women and 2 men aged from 20 to 65 years (mean age 42±20 years). In the main group, 16 women and 6 men aged from 18 to 68 years (mean age 40±16 years) were examined. Two professional certifi ed computerized polygraphs «Chris» were used, simultaneously recording the EAS values of the doctor and the patient. In the main group, the background indicators were recorded at the fi rst stage (10 minutes), then the procedure of the CSB, which lasted 20 minutes, was recordered. The control group was used only for registration of EAS. At the same time, patients were in the same conditions as in the main group.Results. During the CSB, the state of both the doctor (p<0,001) and the patient (p<0,001) has changed signifi cantly. At the same time, the tendency of changes in individual indicators of EAS in patients during treatment was logical. The altered state of the physician practically did not depend on its original level (p>0,05). However, there was a high relationship between the states of the doctor during contact and non-contact treatment (correlation coeffi cient 0,80, p<0,001). The patient′s initial condition had a moderate, statistically signifi cant relationship with his condition during the treatment (p<0,001). Since the beginning of the craniosacral biodynamics, the patient′s condition has hardly changed. At the same time, the contactless impact on the patient′s body was comparable with the contact effect (correlation coeffi cient 0,97, p<0,001). There was no signifi cant relationship between the states of the physician and the patient before the beginning of the treatment (correlation coeffi cient 0,18, p>0,05). However, in the process of craniosacral biodynamics, a statistically signifi cant relationship was formed between them with a correlation coeffi cient for non-contact exposure equal to 0,49 (p<0,01) and for contact exposure — 0,34 (p<0,05). Biodynamic treatment statistically signifi cantly improved the state of the autonomic nervous system.Conclusion. The study of the electrical activity of the skin in craniosacral biodynamics is a highly informative method, which allows to verify and quantify the changes occurring in the patient and in the physician during the treatment.

Objective. To study the energy effect of infusions of the drug Sorbilact in the body of operated patients with cancer of the middle thoracic esophagus. Materials and methods. Clinical use of the drug Sorbilact was performed in 30 operated patients with cancer of the middle thoracic esophagus (the main group). Sorbilact was administered intravenously immediately after surgery, drip at a rate of 30 drops per minute for 5 days at a dose of 800 ml per day. Plasma urea concentration was determined before infusions on the 1st day after surgery, and on days 2, 3, 5 after Sorbilact infusions. The control group – 25 operated patients – was administered 5 % glucose solution at a dose of 800.0 ml. Results and discussion. In the first days after surgery in patients with cancer of the middle thoracic esophagus an increase in the concentration of urea in blood plasma was revealed. In the main group of operated patients after resection of the middle thoracic esophagus in repeated studies on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th day after infusions a significant decrease in the concentration of urea in blood plasma was showed. It indicates that less endogenous protein is consumed for energy purposes, and the caloric needs of the operated body are covered by intensive absorption of Sorbilact, which reduces the catabolism of internal proteins, resulting in reduced nitrogen production, which is manifested in a decrease in the concentration of urea in blood plasma and its difference. In the control group of operated patients in repeated studies on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th day after infusions an increase in plasma urea was revealed, which indicates insufficient caloric energy expenditure of the operated organism. Conclusions. Intravenous infusions of the drug Sorbilact according to the indicator of increment of urea in blood plasma in operated patients after resection of the middle thoracic esophagus in the early postoperative period show a pronounced energy effect.

The aim was to determine the main differences in the external structure of the body and the of central hemodynamics parameters in of high-level sports skills volleyball players of the juvenile age with the role of libero, hitters and setters. Materials and methods: 116 volleyball players of high level athletic skill of the youth age from 16 to 20 years old. The control group included 140 practically healthy girls who were not engaged in sports of the corresponding age. Anthropometric investigation was performed according to Bunak’s V.V. and Martirosov’s E.G. method, rheographic – according to the method of Ronkin M.A. and Ivanov L.B. The reliability of the difference between independent quantitative values was determined using Mann–Whitney U-test. Results: It was established that volleyball players have significantly higher total, longitudinal, circumferential dimensions of the body, width of distal epiphyses, transverse diameters of the chest and pelvis in comparison with girls, who are not involved in sport. According to the most parameters of the body external structure the hitters are predominate than setters and libero. In hitters and setters, most anthropo-somatotypological parameters are larger than in nonathletes. The stroke and minute volumes, the impact index, the volume velocity of the blood and the capacity of the left ventricle in volleyball players are significantly higher. Specific peripheral resistance is significantly lower than that of girls who are not involved in sports. Between the volleyball players of different positions in the value of the central hemodynamics parameters, there were no significant differences, except for the impact index, which is significantly higher in libero than in the hitters. Conclusions: The external structure of the body, anthropometric parameters and indicators of central hemodynamics depend of volleyball player’s position and have some peculiarities.
