ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL RISK OF A PATHOLOGY OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT ADULT POPULATION KURSK AREA UNDER INTENSIVE USE OF INSECTICIDES

The results of the development of a curd functional product with vegetable filler Melissa officinalis L. are presented. An analysis of the health status of the population carried out in recent years by the World Health Organization shows that the world community is facing acute questions related to the need to prevent the so-called “diseases of civilization”, which include diseases of the cardiovascular system, oncology, diseases associated with impaired lipid metabolism and the gastrointestinal tract, al ergii, decreased immunity, disorders of the nervous system. According to experts, many of these diseases leading to death, disability or disability have a steady upward trend. Up to 44% of the population of our country suffer from cardiovascular diseases (as of December 2019), while more than 82% have functional disorders leading to them. Malignant neoplasms and precancerous conditions are observed in 39% of the adult population, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are found in more than 48% of the working population of the country. The solution to these problems may be the development of functional food products.

Esophageal Foreign Bodies

ABSTRACT Aspiration or ingestion of a foreign body is well-known in the pediatric as well as in the adult population. The majority of esophageal foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without causing complications. However, large sharp foreign bodies like dentures and meat bones can get deeply embedded in the wall leading to life-threatening complications. We report a case of a neglected denture in a 55-year-old patient who presented with an unusual complaint as hoarseness of voice and was removed with the help of rigid esophagoscope.

Dental Plate

Approximately 20% of the adult population in the United States wears dentures. Foreign body ingestions, including dentures, are not uncommon. Although the majority of all ingested foreign bodies pass spontaneously through the gastrointestinal tract, impaction may occur, especially with physiologic constrictions, angulations, or stenosis. The esophagus is the most common site of impaction, whereas colonic impaction is extremely uncommon. We present a case of an 84-year-old male who was referred to the gastroenterology clinic for denture impaction, which lasted for two weeks. The patient had already failed to pass the denture following conservative treatment with laxatives, and repeated abdominal imaging showed the dental plate in the cecum. Colonoscopy was performed three weeks after the ingestion of his dentures, and tripod forceps were used to dislodge the end of the dental plate and ultimately remove it. The patient was asymptomatic for the entire period.

Colon Diseases

At the present stage of the development of medicine there is a tendency to increase diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract). The colon is the final stage of the digestion process, but it is no less important link in the gastrointestinal tract. The large intestine includes such important functions as: transport, motor, excretory. Colon pathologies in the structure of surgical morbidity are widespread; in recent years, an increase in their incidence has been noted. According to literature data, more than 11.3 % of the total adult population of the planet suffer from non-neoplastic diseases of the large intestine. This is 16–29 % of the total number of coloproctological patients. Men 30–50 years old get sick 4 times more often than women of the same age. At the present stage of the development of medicine, diseases of the colon are divided into inflammatory and non-inflammatory in nature. Inflammatory diseases include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which are recurrent diseases in which chronic inflammation of various parts of the gastrointestinal tract is observed. Non-inflammatory diseases include diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, colon diverticula, and others [1–8]. In the Udmurt Republic, the incidence of non-inflammatory diseases of the large intestine prevails over inflammatory ones. The aim of our study was to study the structure and identify the most common noninflammatory diseases of the large intestine in the Udmurt Republic for 75 2019–2020. It is difficult to understand the real prevalence of colon diseases because people are embarrassed to see a doctor due to the emergence of psychological barriers. Without adequate treatment, these diseases lead to the chronicity of processes and the occurrence of complications, most often with which patients are admitted to the hospital department. However, our research is certainly important in the field of coloproctology, statistics show the main aspects that require close attention of practitioners.

Functional disorders of the digestive system (including gallbladder dyskinesia) are widespread among the adult population of the Russian Federation. Their combination in a fairly large percentage of cases with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine, and the probable vertebrogenic causality of a number of the gastrointestinal tract pathological conditions lead to the need using new approaches in diagnosis and treatment, including non-drug methods. This clinical case shows the possibility of osteopathic diagnostics and correction in gallbladder dyskinesia.

Rare Finding

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract and it is found to affect nearly 2 percent of the population. Interestingly, the surgical management of an asymptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum remains widely controversial in the adult population. Review of the literature finds the overall risk of Meckel’s diverticulum becoming symptomatic to be low; however, the risk accompanying its resection also proves to be minimal thus perpetuating the question of its proper management. We report our experience with an elderly patient who required an emergent operative intervention and was incidentally found to have Meckel’s diverticulum. Review of final pathology found Meckel’s diverticulum to contain a carcinoid tumor. In our review, the presence of a carcinoid tumor within Meckel’s diverticulum is a rare finding, but its incidence may further support the resection of incidentally found asymptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum in patients of all ages.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most commonly used drug groups. More than 10% of patients being chronically treated in the adult population. Often patients with a high risk of vascular or renal impairment. In addition to the unquestionable effect in the treatment and in the prophylaxis of gastroduodenal diseases, PPIs have been promoted in combination with antithrombotic therapy in order to reduce bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. In both of these indications, this is a chronic treatment, often for several years. Drug regulatory agencies (EMAs or FDA) warn against chronic PPIs use, warning of a number of serious side effects. However, chronic administration of PPIs is a common practice. It is therefore time to evaluate the benefit and risk of this important drug group. First of all, it should be noted that PPIs operate not only at the level of the classical gastric proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase), but also block the activity of the sister vacuolar proton pump (V-H+-ATPase) in a number of other organs or organelles, namely lysosomes of all somatic cells. Similarly, PPIs block the activity of a number of transporters and metabolic enzymes. Action at this level is likely to surprise the gastroenterologist. There is no doubt about the benefits of PPIs in the indication of treatment and prevention of ulcerative or reflux disease. However, what are the evidence to reduce the risk of gastriontestinal bleeding in antithrombotic treatment? In this area we have data at the level of observational studies, the decrease in the risk of bleeding by about a third is significant. However, with a relatively low incidence of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, the absolute decrease in risk is small, hovering at 0.3%. The observed number need to treat is around 250, i.e. for every 250 PPIs treated, we will prevent one bleeding (usually not critical). On the other hand, there are increasingly work that finds a higher incidence of cardiovascular events, renal failure, bronchial asthma and nervous disabilities in chronic PPIs treatment. In a population at high cardiovascular risk, i.e. in a typical population where we add antithrombotic treatment to PPIs, the risk is significant. The number need to harm value is around 50. Thus, in the chronic use of PPIs, the risk outweighs the benefit.

Different Origin

Pesticides, due to their intensive use and their peculiar chemical features, can persist in the environment and enter the trophic chain, thus representing an environmental risk for the ecosystems and human health. Although there are several robust and reliable standard analytical techniques for their monitoring, the high frequency of contamination caused by pesticides requires methods for massive monitoring campaigns that are capable of rapidly detecting these compounds in many samples of different origin. Immunosensors represent a potential tool for simple, rapid, and sensitive monitoring of pesticides. Antibodies coupled to electrochemical or optical transducers have resulted in effective detection devices. In this review, the new trends in immunosensor development and the application of immunosensors for the detection of pesticides of environmental concern—such as glyphosate, organophosphates, and neonicotinoids—are described.

AbstractThe genus Klebsiella is seemingly ubiquitous in terms of its habitat associations. Klebsiella is a common opportunistic pathogen for humans and other animals, as well as being resident or transient flora (particularly in the gastrointestinal tract). Other habitats include sewage, drinking water, soils, surface waters, industrial effluents, and vegetation. Until recently, almost all these Klebsiella have been identified as one species, ie, K. pneumoniae. However, phenotypic and genotypic studies have shown that “K. pneumoniae” actually consists of at least four species, all with distinct characteristics and habitats. General habitat associations of Klebsiella species are as follows: K. pneumoniae—humans, animals, sewage, and polluted waters and soils; K. oxytoca—frequent association with most habitats; K. terrigena— unpolluted surface waters and soils, drinking water, and vegetation; K. planticola—sewage, polluted surface waters, soils, and vegetation; and K. ozaenae/K. rhinoscleromatis—infrequently detected (primarily with humans).
