Use elixir Altai ("Vitavis") in combination with ion-activated with water by means of such a complex contingent cancer patients as patients with metastatic bone fractures of the upper and lower limbs can reduce the early postoperative period, and to reduce to a minimum infectious complications and improve quality of life. The problem of postoperative complications, until now, is not solved. In oncologic patients, and those more in by III and As IV stages occurs it immunnodefitsit, which is caused not only by basic disease, but also by conse-quences of khimio- beam therapy. In connection with this appears the difficulty in the surgical treatment, caused by postoperative complications. As a result surgical treatment appears surgical injury, oxidizing stress, disturbance of homeostasis and oppression of immunity, which leads to an even larger disturbance of immunity in oncologic patients, which decreases the unspecific resistibility of organism. The application of adaptogena of the elixir of Altai (“Vitavis”) in combination with the ionic- activated aqueous means makes it possible to level and to reduce on no oxidizing stress, to increase the unspecific resistibility of the organism of oncologic patient and to increase immuni-ty. Moreover, powerful antioxidant - the ionic- activated aqueous means strengthens the action of adaptogena of the elixer of Altai (“Vitavis”), which leads to the decrease of postoperative infectious complications, reduces postoperative period, improves the quality of life and enlarges indications to the surgical treatment in oncologic patients with III it and IV by the stages of diseases.

Personalized Approach

Introduction. Chronic venous insufficiency is one of the most common diseases, so finding the best treatment options is one of the most urgent tasks of surgery. One of the methods of implementing this direction is to apply a personalized approach. The aim of the study is to improve surgical care for patients with VVPC by introducing a personalized approach.Materials and methods. The study was based on clinical observations and special studies in 428 patients with uBVNC in outpatient settings. All of those surveyed were women. The average age of the patients was 42.3 ± 15.5 years. All patients were operated on — endovasal laser coagulation (EVLk) was performed in the traditional way. Clinical examination of patients, as well as special methods of research was carried out. A questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life of patients. The peculiarity of the study was the use of social and hygienic methods: survey, psychological testing, expert. Statistical analysis and mathematical processing of results were carried out with the help of modern computer technologies based on the Statisticala 6 application package.Results. It has been established that over the past five years in the Ivanovo region there has been an increase in the incidence of vessels of the lower extremities. The frequency of varicose veins exceeds 47 per 100 patients examined. The desire to perform surgery in the nonstate health sector is observed in 9.8 cases. In 85.0% of patients with VBNC, received for surgical treatment, have a lack of preparedness. Their information, clinical and psychological level is 65.0–89.0% of the due and direct influence on the formation of an unfavorable result.Conclusion. Thus, the implementation of a personalized approach to the surgical treatment of patients with chronic venous insufficiency by laser coagulation provides on a par with the reliable obliteration of altered veins the fastest clinical recovery of patients, improvement of their quality of life, satisfaction with results, good hemodynamic and cosmetic effects.

Varicose veins affect a third of the general population and are found in the superficial fascia of the lower limbs. There is controversy as to their actual cause with the debate still ongoing as to whether it is primarily an ascending or descending condition. Several potential risk factors have been identified and the most likely risks are increasing age, family history, and pregnancy. They cause a variety of physical symptoms, the most severe of which is ulceration, and also have an adverse effect on the quality of life of patients. Treatment of varicose veins, in turn, has been shown to improve patients’ quality of life.

Coping Scale

"Patients suffering from oncological diseases are the focus of attention of both physicians and psychologists. Although tumor lesions of bones and soft tissues are a relatively rare condition, its effect on the person’ mind and lifestyle are significant, and its treatment is a challenge, also in terms of patient’s adaptation to the disease and therapy. There are various strategies for treating this pathology; all of them are associated with high-tech medicine focused on maintaining or improving patients’ quality of life (QoL). The aim of the present research is to study the psychological characteristics and QoL of patients undergoing surgical treatment of tumor lesions of bones and soft tissues of lower limbs. Material and methods. 36 patients were examined (mean age 58,22; 19 – men). The SF-36 questionnaire, Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), and Big Five Personality Test (BFI) were used. Treatment by means of the isolated limb perfusion technique was prescribed to 15 patients (group 1); 21 patients were subjected to lower limb amputation due to their disease (group 2). Results. It was found that patients who underwent amputation are characterized by lower rates on the coping scale ‘accepting responsibility’ than patients from the perfusion group (p < 0.05); at the same time, patients from the second group had higher values on the ‘openness’ scale of the BFI compared to the first group (p < 0.1). The study of the relationship between patients’ QoL parameters, personality and coping showed that in the first group the values on the coping scale ‘seeking social support’ negatively correlate with ‘bodily pain’ (p < 0.01), and ‘escape–avoidance’ negatively correlates with ‘social functioning’ (p < 0.01). In the second group, the following significant correlations between personality traits and QoL were revealed: ‘extraversion’ is positively associated with ‘physical functioning’, ‘role-emotional’ and ‘mental health’ (p < 0.01), ‘agreeableness’ has a negative correlation with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01), ‘neuroticism’ is negatively related with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01), ‘openness’ is positively associated with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01). Conclusion. The data obtained emphasizes the importance of taking into account personality characteristics in the management of patients with cancer, including tumor lesions of the bones and soft tissues, as well as the dynamic nature of QoL and its close interconnection with the stage and strategy of treatment and patients’ personality. Psychological support for patients is required for their successful adaptation to the illness and therapy. Acknowledgement.

Abstract Introduction In Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A (CMT1A) patients, daily life is mainly influenced by mobility and ambulation dysfunctions. The aim of our work was to evaluate the perception of disturbances that mostly impact on daily life in CMT1A patients and its difference on the basis of age, gender, disability, and quality of life. Methods Forty-one CMT1A patients underwent neurological assessment focused on establishing clinical disability through the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Score (CMTNS) and quality of life through the Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire. We identified from CMT disturbances 5 categories [weakness in lower limbs (WLL), weakness in upper limbs (WUL), skeletal deformities (SD), sensory symptoms (SS), balance (B)] and patients classified the categories from the highest to the lowest impact on daily life (1: highest; 5: lowest). Ranking of the 5 categories, in the overall sample and in the different subgroups (dividing by gender, median of age and disease duration, CMTNS, domains of SF-36), was obtained and differences among subgroups were assessed using a bootstrap approach. Results Rank analysis showed that WLL was the most important disturbance on daily life whereas WUL had the lowest impact. In the older CMT1A group, the most important disturbance on daily life was B that was also the most relevant disturbance in patients with a greater disability. SD influenced daily life in younger patients. SS had less impact on daily life, with the exception of patients with a milder disability. Discussion Our findings demonstrated that the perception of disturbances that mostly impact on CMT1A patients’ daily life changes over the lifetime and with degree of disability.
