As an outpatient appointment, 347 patients (185 men and 162 women) who first sought dental care for chronic generalized periodontitis were examined in the therapeutic department of the Dentistry clinic of the Kirov Military Medical Academy. All patients were divided into three age groups: 40-45 years, 46-50 years, 51-55 years. There were no patients younger than 40 years old and older than 55 years old among the examined ones. When analyzing the results of the examination of patients, it was revealed that the largest number of patients belongs to the age group of 40-45 years (49.3±2.7% of all examined), on the second place was the age group of 46-50 years – 127 (36.6±2.6% of all examined) people (p<0.001), the smallest the group of patients was 51-55 years, 49 (14.2±1.9% of all examined) people (p<0.001). There were no large differences in the number of patients by gender between the age groups (p>0.05). Mild chronic generalized periodontitis prevails among the examined patients (65.1±2.6%, p<0.001). The mild severity of chronic generalized periodontitis was recorded in 121 (65.4±3.5%) of the 185 men, among 162 women – in 106 (64.8±3.8%). Chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity was detected in 42 (22.7±3.1%) men and 38 (23.5±3.3%) women. Finally, 22 (11.9±2.4%) men and 19 (11.7±2.5%) women went to the therapeutic department of the dental clinic with severe chronic generalized periodontitis. Thus, there were no large differences between the sexes in the number of patients with different degrees of severity of chronic generalized periodontitis (p>0.05).

Aim of the study: to assess the measles immunity level among employees of medical organizations of various specialties, young subjects, and neonates. Materials and Methods: The measles immunity status was assessed for all the employees of St. Petersburg State Budgetary Healthcare Institution “Maternity Hospital No. 10” (386 subjects), civilian medical staff of the clinics of the Military Medical Academy named after SM Kirov (Military Medical Academy) (1399 subjects), cadets of the Military Medical Academy (304 subjects) and 34 neonates. Laboratory testing was performed by using ELISA with test kits "VektoKor-IgG" (RF). Results: Medical workers displayed high total level of protection against measles virus serologically confirmed in 87.5% of the maternity hospital staff and 81.6% of the employees at the Military Medical Academy clinics. No differences in the immune status between the varying categories of medical personnel from the departments of various specialties were revealed. Lower population immunity was observed in the 20-40-year age group. Among the employees of the maternity hospital, the proportion of measles virus seropositive subjects aged 20–40 years was 75.9% (95% CI 67.2% –82.9%), 40–59 years – 91.5% (95% CI 86 , 7% -94.7%), 60 year and older subjects were all seropositive (95% CI 94.6% -100%). Dual vaccination did not guarantee emergence of effective measles immunity. The majority of seronegative subjects were dually vaccinated, hence, even in case of previous dual measles vaccination, it is necessary to perform a serological examination prior to recruitment to medical facilities. Females comprised more than 90% of medical workers. Therefore, women of fertile age previously dually vaccinated, but immunologically seronegative, are at risk of measles and intrauterine fetal infection, as well as increased risk of its development in vaccination age children. It was confirmed by demonstrating that as few as 70.6 ± 15.3% of neonates were immune to the measles virus. The proportion of seronegative infants (29.4 ± 15.3%) was comparable to that one in seronegative subjects aged 20-40 years (24.1 ± 8.1%) working at the maternity hospital. Among the younger age group (aged 18-23 years) such as cadets of the military medical academy, a significantly higher proportion of seronegative individuals was found - 48.3 ± 5.6%, thereby increasing probability for measles outbreak therein. Conclusions: In order to eradicate measles, it is necessary to develop a screening program for detecting anti-measles antibodies among young and middle-aged subjects.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common and frequent presenting complaint in Gynaecology Outpatient Department in all age groups, especially in perimenopausal women. Objective of present study was clinicopathological evaluation and management of abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal age group women.Methods: The present study was prospective analytical study conducted at Mallareddy Narayana Multi-speciality Hospital, reputed teaching hospital, in Obstetrics and gynaecology department in association with department of pathology from January 2015 to December 2016. Perimenopausal women in age group 45-55 years included in this study. Other age groups with abnormal uterine bleeding, isolated cervical or vaginal pathology, bleeding diathesis, and pregnancy related causes of bleeding excluded from this study. Endometrial tissue collected by sampling procedure such as dilatation and curettage. Proper counselling about management was given to all women related to medical and surgical interventional approaches.Results: A total of 135 women with abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal age were examined after fulfilling criteria during study period of 2 years. The age of participants in mean±SD was 46.68±2.03 years (min 45 years and max 55 years). Maximum number of patients with abnormal uterine bleeding presented in age group of 45-50 years. The most common symptoms were heavy menstrual bleeding (83.7%), followed by frequent menstrual bleeding (26.6%). Proliferative endometrium was the most common histopathological (30.3%) study followed by secretory endometrium (27.4%). Surgical management was given to 94 patients.Conclusions: Heavy menstrual bleeding and frequent menstrual bleeding were mostly correlated with abnormal endometrial histopathological findings in this study. Gynaecologists should pay attention towards these abnormal bleeding patterns along with the evaluation of endometrial tissue for histopathological findings, which will help us to plan for successful management.

Congenital absence or loss of the ocular globe during childhood causes psycho-social and cosmetic disorders and compromise the normal development of the orbital region. The literature relating to congenital or acquired etiology, due to trauma or disease, demonstrates the necessity of prevention and early detection in order to minimize the sequelae and disturbances in orbital growth. Installation of an eye prosthesis is essential to the rehabilitation process, so as to produce satisfactory development of the region. In order to characterize a profile of the child patient with this condition, a survey was carried out at the Prosthetic Eye sector, Out-patient Clinic, Discipline of Maxillofacial Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo (FOUSP), during the period from 1988 to 2003. The 124 (14.02%) patients within the age group of 0-13 years registered for ocular prosthesis were divided into a first group of 64 patients (51.62%) with 0-7 years, and a second group of 60 patients (48.38%) with 8-13 years. Fifty nine were girls and 65 were boys. No statistical significance was observed regarding the distribution of genders in the two analyzed age groups (p = 0.069). However, there was statistical significance at the level of 0.01 in relation to etiology, with higher prevalence of congenital and pathological disturbances in the younger group and traumatic occurrences in the older group. The etiology also presented variation according to the gender, at the significance level of 0.05, where girls presented three times less trauma than boys in the older age group. The necessity of prosthetic ocular repair was evenly distributed along the childhood period and the eye losses that required prosthetic treatment equally affected both genders. However, the etiology of eye loss varied according to the considered gender and age bracket.

Background. Vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap is commonly used in the reconstruction of composite bony and soft tissue defects of the lower third of the face due to the outstanding quality of its cutaneous component. The aim was to evaluate the primary and overall success in the reconstruction of mandibular defects, following war injuries, with vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap. Methods. At the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Military Medical Academy Belgrade, there were eight patients with this kind of defect following war injury, and the mandible was reconstructed with a vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap. Bony compartment of the graft was harvested as up to 11 cm long segment of radial circumference. Results. The localization and structure of the defect, features of a harvested compound graft, the procedure of the reestablishment of the mandibular continuity was presented as well as immediate and late complications during the consolidation period, and the primary successful reconstruction in 87.5% of the patients. Conclusion. The primary and overall success in the mandibular defects reconstruction with a vascularized osteoseptocutaneous radial flap was equal or even better than those presented in the literature on the reconstruction of the similar defects after tumor resections.

In February 2020, the Bulgarian government established the National Operational Headquarters for Combating the COVID-19 Pandemic in Bulgaria. General Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, a military doctor, professor at the Military Medical Academy in Sofia, was appointed as its chairman. This paper presents a case study on the public image of Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, its readings and interpretations by the audience, and the specific fan culture that emerged around his media persona during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria. Placed in the spotlight of the media at the very beginning of the crisis, Mutafchiyski became extremely popular as the public figure most strongly associated with the fight against the spread of the disease in the country. Around his media persona, shaped in the public imagination as a wartime leader, a fan culture has grown with all its characteristic features and dimensions: fans and anti-fans, affirmative and transformative fandom. As a fictional character, Mutafchiyski has appeared in numerous forms of vernacular creativity: poems, songs, material objects, jokes, fake news, conspiracy theories, and memes. In this way, the General has become the main character of Bulgarian pandemic folklore and the focal point of a participatory pandemic.

Background/Aim. In Serbia brucellosis is a primary disease of the animals in the southern parts of the country. The aim of this study was to describe the first outbreak of human and animal brucellosis in the region of Sabac, Serbia. Methods. An epidemiological investigation was conducted to identify a source of outbreak and the ways of transmission of brucellosis infection in human population. A descriptive and analytical epidemiological methods (cohort study) were used. Additional data included monthly reports of the infectious diseases from the Institutes of Public Health and data from the Veterinary Specialistic Institute in Sabac. The serological tests for human brucellosis cases were performed in the Laboratory of the Military Medical Academy; laboratory confirmation of animal brucellosis cases was obtained from the reference laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Belgrade. Results. Twelve cases of brucellosis were recorded from February 9 to September 1, 2004. Total attack rate was 8.1% (7.5% of males, 14.2% of females). Relative risk (RR) of milk consumption was 8.9 (95% confidence interval: 1.63-13.38), and RR for direct contact with animals was 14 (95% confidence interval: 3.5-55.6). The prevalence of seropositive animals in 33 villages of the Macva region accounted for 0.8%. Regarding animal species, sheep were predominant - 264 (95.7%). Out of a total number of seropositive animals, ELISA results were positive in 228 (88.7%) of them. Conclusion. As contact epidemics generally last longer, it is probable that the implemented measures of outbreak control did reduce the length of their duration.

 Background: Acute appendicitis is very common surgical cause of acute abdomen and needs surgical removal either by laparoscopic or open appendicectomy. The aim of this study is to compare frequency of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing laparoscopic and open appendicectomy. Materials and Methods: The study was prospective study conducted in NMCTH, Biratnagar. Total 200 patients with diagnosis of acute appendicitis admitted through the emergency department of our hospital were included in the study. The patients were randomly allocated in two groups: Laparoscopic appendicectomy group (LA) and Open appendicectomy group (OA). Both groups underwent successful emergency appendicectomy. Wound infections in terms of surgical site infection (SSI) if present were recorded. All age groups and both sexes were included.  Results: Two hundred patients underwent appendicectomy, one hundred Laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA) and another hundred open appendicectomy (OA). The mean age of patients with acute appendicitis was 30.63±16.14 years with minimum of 6 years and maximum of 77 years. The highest number of patients were in age group of 10 to 20 years (29.5%). In LA group SSI noted in 3 patients (3%) whereas in OA group it was found in 12 patients (12%). Conclusion: Laparoscopic appendicectomy is better and offers great advantages in terms of SSI as compared to Open appendicectomy.
