The article presents the concept of integrative medical-psychological-pedagogical care, highlights the theoretical foundations of comprehensive care for people with disorders of the dental system. The historical preconditions for developing integrative medical-psychological-pedagogical help in Ukraine are considered. Based on the historical-theoretical analysis of the data, the historical preconditions and features of the systemic care for persons with disorders of the dental system, burdened with speech disorders are revealed. Objective and subjective diagnostic methods for determining the complexity of speech disorders and their significance for speech therapy diagnosis are described. Unfortunately, today in our country, there is no clear system of integrative medical, psychological and pedagogical care for people suffering from dental disorders. Therefore, it is important not only to explain to parents the need for comprehensive rehabilitation, but also to promote the formation of close relationships between different fields of medicine and pedagogy. Physicians and educators need to be trained to make comprehensive differential diagnoses, to solve the problem of integrative diagnosis, correction and further rehabilitation for people with disorders of the dental system, burdened with speech disorders. Specialists must be fully versed in the technology of detecting speech disorders in the presence of dental disorders. In this case, orthodontists and speech therapists should work closely throughout the treatment period. Only in this way, it will be possible to achieve the most stable result of rehabilitation, to fix the correctly established sound pronunciation, to promote the best psychological readiness of the person for disturbance and perception of himself/herself and the world around.

Over the past four decades, Lyme disease has remained a virulent and pervasive illness, persisting throughout North America and many other regions of the world. Recent increases in illness in many countries has sparked a renewed interest in improved Lyme diagnostics. While current standards of diagnosis are acceptable for the late stages of the disease, it remains difficult to accurately diagnose early forms of the illness. In addition, current diagnostic methods tend to be relatively expensive and require a large degree of laboratory-based analysis. Biosensors represent the fusion of biological materials with chemical techniques to provide simple, inexpensive alternatives to traditional diagnostic methods. Lyme disease biosensors have the potential to better diagnose early stages of the illness and provide possible patients with an inexpensive, commercially available test. This review examines the current state of Lyme disease biosensing, with a focus on previous biosensor development and essential future considerations.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global problem, especially with the high prevalence of HIV-TB co-infection. Delayed diagnosis and continual transmission contribute to high mortality in Indonesia, which has the third highest incidence of TB in the world, after China and India. Therefore, early diagnosis is needed to reduce the number of cases and to administer therapy to prevent the transmission of bacteria. The diagnosis of TB remains a challenge in clinical practice due to poor sensitivity and the requirement of skilled staff in microscopic tests, the slow growth Mycobacterium in culture, and the low number of bacilli present in extrapulmonary TB. Despite being the golden standard for TB diagnosis, cultures require 2–8 weeks to grow. Other methods for diagnosing TB include interferon-gamma release assays and serologic tests such as the tuberculin skin test. Recently, the World Health Organization recommended the GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay for diagnosing TB. This review presents the current state of TB epidemiology and various methods for TB diagnosis. In particular, the paper provides an in-depth discussion about the GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay that has been made available recently in selected tertiary hospitals in Indonesia.

SARS-CoV-2 is a new representative of the world of virology related to coronaviruses and can cause a wide range of diseases of the respiratory system: from colds to acute respiratory distress-syndrome with severe respiratory failure. The pathogenesis of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is associated with the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to bind to ACE receptors and subsequently activate IL-6, the main stimulator of the “cytokine storm”. Due to such features of the viral pathogenesis, early and accurate detection of active forms, as well as virus carriage are needed. In review, the whole spectrum of the main diagnostic methods is represented, with a comparison of the effectiveness and con- ditional indication of COVID-19: from the currently used methods (RT-PCR, ELISA) to potentially possible (OT-LAMP, CRISPR), as well as those still under development (chemiluminescence).

The main aspects of the organic production export crediting are investigated in this article. As export crediting today is an extremely relevant and important issue in Ukraine, there is a wide base of research in this area. However, despite the number of developments, today there is no established mechanism for the organic production export crediting. Nowadays, the export of organic production in Ukraine is actively evolving, so it needs additional financial support for growth. One of the tools to support the export of organic products is lending. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to analyze the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of lending for organic exports. The current state of the export of organic products in Ukraine has been studied. The regional distribution of organic production export is determined. The main ways of export crediting are also investigated. The existing experience of crediting the export of organic production in Ukraine and the world is analyzed. In particular, one of the main tools for organic product export crediting has been identified. The problems faced by the producer of Ukrainian organic products are identified and ways to solve them are suggested. Prospects for the development of organic product export crediting in Ukraine are considered. Thus, the study presents recommendations that can be immediately used for practical implementation as a tool for organic product export crediting.

The results of psycho-correction speech therapy are analyzed in dynamics in 78 patients with varying severity and various forms of speech disorders in the early and late recovery periods of ischemic stroke. The effectiveness of conducting classes during the stay of patients in a neurological hospital and the positive impact of these exercises in the inpatient period (outpatient classes, classes at home with a speech therapist and trained relatives) are shown. Patients who did not conduct speech recovery classes during the inter-stationary period showed a decrease in speech activity, in some even a negative dynamic.
