The relationship between art and disease is a subject that has been studied for centuries. Artistic activities are used therapeutically to distract attention and to move away from the focused health problem. In addition to reducing symptoms such as pain, it is also used in the rehabilitation and therapy of individuals with long-term health problems. Among the current therapeutic approaches, textile arts are actually both old and very new methods. This study has been prepared in order to express the importance of fine arts and textile art for disabled and especially visually impaired individuals. Textile arts are considered as a different and distinguished way for the visually impaired in terms of rehabilitation, therapy, improving the quality of life and acquiring modern occupations.

Insight Into

Aortic stenosis and diabetes mellitus are both progressive diseases which, if left untreated, result in significant morbidity and mortality. There is evidence that the prevalence of diabetes is substantially increased in patients with aortic stenosis and those with diabetes have increased rates of progression from mild to severe aortic stenosis. There are good data supporting the hypothesis that aortic stenosis and diabetes mellitus are associated with diabetes mellitus being detrimental towards the quality of life and survival of patients. Thus, a thorough understanding of the pathogenesis of both of these disease processes and the relationship between them aids in designing appropriate preventive and therapeutic approaches. This review aims to give a comprehensive and up-to-date insight into the influence of diabetes mellitus on patients with degenerative aortic stenosis, as well as the prognosis and therapeutic approach to these patients.

Background. The annual growth of patients ' claims to dentists dictates the need to develop new methods of evaluation and quality standards of care. Often, patients are not happy with the timing of the use of dentures, which is associated with unjustified expectations that have not been adjusted by the attending physician. Relevance. Study of changes in quality of life parameters in a certain group of patients. Objectives. The standard clinical and paraclinical methods and psychodiagnostic analysis in the form of a questionnaire of quality of life were used as research methods. The data of sixty patients who needed repeated prosthetics for various reasons are presented as the material of the study. Results. The correlation of certain parameters of quality of life from the type of prosthesis is determined. So it is proved that patients with removable prostheses physical and emotional state suffers more than patients with fixed prostheses. The presence of depressive States and anxiety experiences is more pronounced in patients with removable dentures. It was determined that in the case of removable prostheses, the period of wearing is directly correlated with changes in the quality of life. At the same time, the quality of life of patients with fixed prostheses, on the contrary, changes minimally until the "critical" moment, when there is an urgent need to remove the denture. The average terms of prosthesis use in months are calculated. Conclusion. The obtained data can be used in research on dentistry and psychology; at the clinical reception by dentists – orthopedists at the initial consultation of the patient about prosthetics of teeth and dentition. The published material is part of the work on the prospective development of a method for predicting the term and long-term results of dental orthopedic treatment.
