Significant prevalence and decline in quality of life caused by psoriasis in combination with the lack of etiotropic methods of its treatment, put this disease, in terms of relevance for modern medicine on a par with diabetes, hypertension, asthma etc. That is, there is a need to find easily accessible markers that would determine the susceptibility to this disease. The aim of the study was to establish the differences in the skinfold thickness between healthy and/or psoriatic Ukrainian men depending on the severity of the disease without and taking into account the somatotype. For 32 Ukrainian men of the first mature age, patients with mild psoriasis and 68 men with severe psoriasis (according to the PASI index) were determined skinfold thickness according to Bunak and determined the somatotype according to the Heath-Carter scheme. The control group consisted of 82 healthy men of similar age, selected from the database of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. It was found that in patients with mild or severe psoriasis of men without division into somatotypes and in representatives of the mesomorphic somatotype compared to healthy men, the skinfold thickness is significantly higher at the lower angle of the scapula, abdomen and side, and significantly lower on the back and front of the shoulder, chest and thighs. When comparing the skinfold thickness between patients with mild or severe psoriasis of endo-mesomorphic somatotype with healthy men of similar somatotype, we found larger values of the skinfold thickness under the lower angle of the scapula (only with mild course), on the abdomen and side, and also smaller values of the skinfold thickness on the posterior surface of the shoulder and only in representatives with severe psoriasis – on the anterior surface of the shoulder, chest and thigh. Between patients with different degrees of severity of dermatosis both without distribution, and with distribution on various somatotypes of reliable or tendencies of differences of skinfold thickness are not revealed. Thus, there are pronounced differences in most indicators of the skinfold thickness between healthy and patients with mild or severe psoriasis of Ukrainian men of the first mature age, both without distribution and with the division into different somatotypes.

Nevi, although benign neoplasms of the skin, but have a certain tendency to malignancy, which is influenced by various external and internal human factors. Predicting the risk of benign nevi against this background is an important topic for experimental research. The aim of the study was to establish the features of the skinfold thickness (SFT) in men of the first adult age with benign nevi. SFT was determined according to the Bunak scheme for men (aged 22-35 years) with melanocyte benign simple nevi (n=34), melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi (n=27), melanocyte benign congenital nevi (n=14) and non-melanocyte benign (n=17). The control group – SFT of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group was selected from the data bank of the Research Center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. It was found that in practically healthy men higher than in patients – SFT on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the shoulder and thigh (in all groups of patients); SFT on the forearm, at the lower angle of the scapula, chest and shin (only in patients with melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi). Also in healthy men are found lower than in patients – SFT on the side (in all groups of patients); SFT in the abdomen (in patients with melanocyte benign simple and non-melanocyte benign nevi). When comparing SFT between patients with benign nevi, in most cases, lower values of SFT found in patients with melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi. The obtained results indicate the initial manifestations of abdominal (android) type of fat deposition in the body in patients with benign nevi (most pronounced in patients with melanocyte benign simple nevi).

Annotation. The constitutional approach is a valuable tool in the hands of practicing dermatologists, which allows an individual approach to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with psoriasis. The aim of the study was to examine the differences in total, longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or psoriatic men depending on the severity of the disease. Anthropometric examination according to Bunak was performed for 32 men of the first mature age in patients with mild and 68 men with severe psoriasis. The PASI index was used to clinically assess the severity and area of psoriatic lesions. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. In patients with mild and severe psoriasis compared with healthy men found: lower values – pubic height (by 3.2 % and 5.4 %) and trochanter (by 8.2 % and 7.0 %) anthropometric points, shoulder width (by 19.6 % and 19.0 %) and the width of the distal epiphysis of the shin (by 5.2 % and 4.8 %); greater values – body weight (by 20.1 % and 17.5 %), body length (by 1.7 % in mild course), body surface area (by 10.0 % and 7.8 %), height of suprasternal (by 3.0 % and 1.5 %), acromial (by 2.3 % and 1.0 %) and finger (by 6.1 % and 4.4 %) anthropometric points, width of the distal epiphysis of the shoulder (by 6.9 % and 5.7 %), forearm (by 3.3 % in mild course) and thigh (by 10.3 % and 7.1 %), mid-thoracic diameter (by 16.5 % and 16.3 %), transverse lower thoracic diameter (by 16.5 % and 15.7 %), anterior-posterior mid-thoracic diameter (by 17.7 % and 20.2 %), interspinous (by 12.2 % and 12.1 %), intercristal (by 13.4 % and 11.7 %) and intertrochanteric (by 11.3 % and 10.4 %) distances. Differences in the studied body size in patients with varying degrees of psoriasis found. Thus, in patients with mild psoriasis, compared with patients with severe psoriasis, higher values were found for: body length (by 1.6 %); heights of suprasternal (by 1.5 %), pubic (by 2.1 %) and finger (by 1.4 %) anthropometric points; width of the distal epiphysis of the forearm (by 2.3 %). Thus, pronounced differences in total, longitudinal and transverse dimensions between healthy and patients with mild and severe psoriasis were revealed by Ukrainian men of the first mature age. Between patients with varying degrees of severity of dermatosis, most differences are found only for longitudinal body size.

Given the most frequent manifestation of psoriasis at a young working age and in some cases severe, continuously recurrent course, the presence of many treatments, none of which is a guarantee of complete recovery and no recurrence – now there is an urgent need to find prognostic signs therapy and prevention of relapses. In the absence of ideal biomarkers, the study of constitutional markers becomes crucial. The aim of the study was to examine the differences in girth body sizes between healthy and/or psoriatic men depending on the severity of the disease. Anthropometric examination according to V.V. Bunak was performed for 32 men of the first mature age patients with mild and 68 with severe psoriasis course. The PASI index was used to clinically assess the severity and area of psoriatic lesions. The control group, according to anthropometric parameters, consisted of 82 practically healthy men of the same age, selected from the database of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. In patients with psoriasis of mild and severe course, compared with healthy, we found: greater values for – the girth of the shoulder in a tense state by 8.9% and 6.8%; shoulder girth in the unstressed state by 14.2% and 12.3%; forearm girth in the upper part by 8.0% and 7.1%; forearm girth in the lower part by 4.2% and 4.5%; hand girth by 5.1% and 5.8%; hip girth by 11.4% and 9.3%; hips circumference by 8.7% and 6.5%; crus girth in the upper part by 10.2% and 7.9%; crus girth in the lower part by 8.7% and 5.9%; neck girth by 6.9% and 7.8%; waist circumference by 17.1% and 18.2%; chest girth on inspiration by 7.8% and 7.2%; chest girth on exhalation by 10.6% and 10.3%; chest circumference at rest by 10.0% and 9.6%. Thus, there are pronounced differences in the girth sizes between healthy and patients with mild and severe psoriasis Ukrainian men of the first mature age. Between patients with varying degrees of severity of dermatosis, differences are established only for the girth of the crus in the lower part.

Today in modern medicine the study of human health is reoriented to the individual principle, which is based on the identification and study of constitutionally determined patterns of manifestation of certain diseases. The purpose of the study is to establish and analyze the features of the girth body sizes in men and women with generalized fatty form of seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity. The comprehensive body size of 40 men and 40 young women (25-44 years) with generalized fatty seborrheic dermatitis (mild and severe) was determined. The control group consisted of the girth sizes of practically healthy men (n=82) and women (n=154) of the same age group, which were selected from the database of the research center National Pirogov Memorial Medical University. Statistical processing of body circumference was performed in the licensed package “Statistica 6.0” using non-parametric evaluation methods. As a result of studies in patients with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity of men, compared with practically healthy men, found only greater values of the girth of the shoulder in a relaxed state and thighs, neck (only mild), shin in the upper part and waist (in both cases only with a severe degree), as well as smaller values of the girth of the shoulder in a tense state; and in patients of varying severity of women – greater values of the girth of the shoulder in a relaxed state, thighs, lower legs, neck, waist and all girths of the chest and both thighs (only severe), as well as smaller values of the girth of the hand (only with mild). In both men and women with seborrheic dermatitis, differences in girth body sizes are more pronounced in people with severe disease. Between men or women with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity, there are no significant or trends in differences in girth body sizes. In the analysis of the manifestations of sexual dimorphism of the circumferential body size between men and women with seborrheic dermatitis found greater values in men with mild and severe disease of the upper extremities, hands, shin, feet and neck (in most cases more pronounced in representatives with mild severity), as well as only in men with mild severity – greater values of all chest girths. For a more correct understanding of changes in girth body sizes in Ukrainian men or women with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity, it is necessary to analyze other constitutional parameters of the body.

Prediction of the occurrence of eczema and the development of its severe forms is possible by identifying its morphological markers in patients with various forms and severity of dermatosis and their comparison with healthy subjects. The aim of the study was to examine the differences in body girth sizes between healthy and/or eczema patients depending on the severity of dermatosis. Patients with idiopathic (n=34) and microbial (n=38) eczema men of the first mature age underwent an anthropometric examination according to Bunak. The diagnosis of eczema was made according to the nomenclature of ICD-10. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. In healthy men, the following values of the following envelope sizes were found: shoulder girth in a tense state by 4.9 % compared with patients with severe eczema; unstressed shoulder girth by 7.3 % and 11.8 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 10.0 % and 11.3% compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; forearm girth in the upper part by 5.4 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of severe course; thigh girth by 5.1 % and 8.0 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 7.1 % and 11.3 % compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; thigh girth by 4.16 % and 4.5 % compared with patients with idiopathic severe eczema and mild microbial eczema; upper crus girth by 5.3 %, 7.5 % and 7.1 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and microbial eczema of mild course; lower crus girth by 6.0 % compared with patients with mild microbial eczema; neck girth by 7.5 % and 6.8 % compared with patients with idiopathic severe eczema and mild microbial eczema; waist girth by 8.6 % and 15.6 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 13.9 % and 16.7 % compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; chest girth on inhalation, exhalation, at rest by 6.9 %, 9.5 % and 9.1 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of severe course. Only the girth of the foot in healthy men is 3.1 % higher than in sick men with mild microbial eczema. In men with idiopathic eczema, the neck girth was 5.4 % lower than in men with severe eczema. The obtained data can be used for a personalized approach in the creation of appropriate prevention and treatment and diagnostic programs.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to determine the quality-of-life (QoL) among children with epilepsy in comparison with a healthy control group. Participants included mothers of 206 children with epilepsy and of 211 healthy controls. The QoL was measured via cross-cultural adaptation of the Quality-of-Life in Children with Epilepsy Questionnaire, which was also modified for the control group. The mean (standard deviation) overall QoL score of children with epilepsy was lower than that of the healthy control group at: 74.3 (8.2) versus 87.9 (6.6), p < 0.001. In addition, all seven dimensions of quality-of-life were lower among children with epilepsy compared with that of the healthy control group. The health-related QoL of children with epilepsy was lower than that of the healthy control group. Children experiencing seizures more frequently, experiencing side effects from antiepileptic drugs, having a history of hospitalization, and having poor school performance displayed lower scores in QoL, which may highlight the impact of the severity of the disease and proper management of seizures on the quality-of-life in children with epilepsy.

Background: The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of weekly phone calls on treatment outcomes and quality of life among a group of Iranian patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, 60 patients aged 15-85 with RA were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group, in addition to a monthly assessment on a weekly basis, received a full 3-month follow-up telephone conversation in order to follow the correct and regular use of the drug and respond to the patients’ questions. The control group was only evaluated routinely. Finally, the severity of the disease activity (based on DAS-28) and the quality of life (based on the SF-12 questionnaire) were evaluated after three months. Results: After three months from the onset of intervention, a significant reduction was observed in the number of tender joints, mean erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and total score of DAS-28 in the intervention group compared to the control group. In addition, after three months of treatment, the quality of life for the intervention group improved significantly more than that of the control group. Conclusion: A weekly phone call with the patients suffering from RA with the purpose to guide the therapeutic process and respond to the patients’ questions could positively improve the severity of the disease along with the quality of life among the patients.

Sexual health is an integral part of everyone’s quality of life. Sexual harmony depends on a man’s sexual desire and erectile function. The most common disorder of male sexual health is erectile dysfunction. Improving the treatment of patients with this pathology helps to improve both physical and mental health and thus improve the quality of life. The objective: the aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination course therapy and monotherapy in patients with erectile dysfunction. Materials and methods. The observation included 89 men with erectile dysfunction of mixed genesis aged 25 to 50 years with mild to moderate severity. All patients were divided into three groups. The I group of 32 patients with moderate ED, received during the month in the morning Bodrex 1 sachet 60 minutes before meals and in the evening Strondex one spray into the oral cavity (12,5 mg sildenafil), regardless of the presence or absence of sexual activity in this day and an additional 30 minutes before sexual intercourse from 12,5 to 25 mg, followed by a comparative assessment of clinical results immediately after treatment in relation to a group of patients (II group – 32), also with moderate ED who received sildenafil in tablet form dose of 25 mg 1 hour before sexual intercourse, but not more often than once a day. The third group (III group – 25) of patients consisted of men with mild ED, who received during the month only Bodrex in the morning 1 sachet 60 minutes before meals, with comparing clinical data before and after treatment. Bodrex and Strondex preparations are presented on the market by the pharmaceutical company Geolik Pharm Marketing Group. Results. The use of course combination therapy (Strondex + Bodrex) in the treatment of patients with moderate ED was found to be significantly more effective than sildenafil monotherapy at a dose of 50 mg on demand before sexual intercourse, as evidenced by subjective assessment of patients and objective data. Namely, the integrative indicator «erectile function» in this group of patients improved almost twice, while in the second group of patients this indicator improved by 62,9% (p<0,05). Accordingly «оverall satisfaction" in group I patients improved 2,3 times, and in group II patients 1,8 times. Dopplerosonography of the penis in patients with moderate ED showed a probable decrease in hemodynamics in the corpora cavernosa, which indicated the presence of vascular factor with impaired vascular endothelial function (p<0,05). After treatment, a more pronounced increase in cavernous blood flow occurred in group I, namely an increase in peak systolic velocity by 69,5%, while in group II by 38,5% (p1<0,05). It was noted that the concentration of ET-1 in the serum of patients with moderate ED was 3 times higher than the average in the group of almost healthy men, which may indicate severe endothelial dysfunction (p<0,05). Accordingly, after treatment, the level of ET-1 in the blood of patients decreased in group I, who received combination therapy, by 44,2%, while in group II by 28,3% (p1<0,05). Before treatment, the majority of patients with moderate ED, namely 78,1%, could not have sexual intercourse due to insufficient erection. After treatment in 53,1% of group I patients receiving combination therapy (Strondex + Bodrex), erection was completely restored, while in group II erection was completely restored in 28,1% of patients. Also, according to the obtained data, it should be noted a significant positive dynamics of all integrative indicators of IIEF on the background of taking Bodrex in patients with mild ED (p<0,05). An increase in the baseline «erectile function» by 1,4 times, contributed to an increase in sexual satisfaction and sexual satisfaction in general by 2,3 times. The mean peak systolic rate of cavernous blood flow before treatment in this group of patients was lower compared with the control group by 21,2% (p<0,05). This indicator improved after treatment by 21,7%, and became not significantly different from this indicator in the control group of almost healthy men (p1<0,05; p2>0,05), which indicated the normalization of hemodynamics in penis. In patients with mild ED, the concentration of ET-1 in the serum was 1,7 times higher than in the control group (p<0,05). After treatment, this index decreased by 1.5 times, approaching the rate in the group of almost healthy men (p2>0,05). Before treatment in this group, no patient had a complete erection, and less than half of the patients (45,5%) had a pratial erection. After a course of treatment with Bodrex, complete erection was restored in 68,2% of patients, and a total of 86,4% of patients were able to have sexual intercourse. Conclusions. The use of combination course therapy (Strondex + Bodrex) in patients with moderate ED and course monotherapy (Bodrex) in patients with mild ED contributes to a more stable clinical effect, as evidenced by the dynamics of the data.

Introduction: sexual performance is one of the important aspects of the quality of life which can be effected by various illnesses, among them kidney disease can be mentioned. Purpose: this study was performed with the goal of comparing the dimensions of the sexual performance in dialysis patients and normal people. Method: The current study is a kind of causal-comparative one in the realm of descriptive studies in the year 1392 on a sample of 60 individuals (N=60) in the format of four groups of men dialysis patients (n=15), women dialysis patients (n=15), and healthy men and women (each group 15 individuals) was performed. For the purpose of choosing the subjects the method of multi-stage cluster sampling was used, also to choose the control group with attention to the consistency factor first degree relatives of the patients were used. With attention to the nature of the study the method of gathering of the data was done by survey and to gather information questionnaires on erection function (IIEF, rate of responding=91%) and the questionnaire of the women’s sexual function (FSFI, rate of responding=89%) was used. Also the quality datas resulting from the coding demographic evaluations and with the assistance of the quality datas analysis tools of Atlas TI 5,2 were analyzed. Findings: the results of the study showed that between the group of healthy women and dialytic women because of the variables related to the sexual performance, there is no meaningful difference (p>0/171), but between the healthy men and dialytic men with respect to dimensions of the mentioned variables meaningful difference was seen (p<0/0001). Conclusions: the findings of this study makes evident the need for psychological follow-ups and preparing the needed means for increasing the quality of this group of the society is evident more than before.

Annotation. One of the most important problems of modern dermatology is the individualization of programs for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of skin diseases. The success of its solution largely depends on how fully, systematically will be described and somatic and mental components of the patient’s personality, taking into account the full range of biological and mental factors that affect his health. The aim of the study was to establish the features of the leading typological characteristics of temperament and psychodynamic personality traits between healthy and psoriatic men without taking into account somatotype and representatives of mesomorphic and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes. Men aged 22 to 35 years, patients with psoriasis (n=100, including 32 with mild and 68 with severe) conducted an anthropometric examination according to V. V. Bunak Somatotype was calculated according to the mathematical scheme of J. Carter and B. Heath. The PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) was used to clinically assess the severity and area of psoriatic lesions. The control group consisted of anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Evaluation of the leading typological characteristics of temperament was determined by G. Eysenck, psychodynamic personality traits – by C. D. Spielberger in the modification of Y. L. Khanin Statistical processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. When comparing the studied indicators between groups with different disease course, significantly higher and tendencies to higher values of the percentage were found: persons with potential introversion among patients in general (19.12 %) and endo-mesomorphs (22.22 %) with severe course compared to healthy subjects without taking into account the somatotype (8.54 %) and the control group of a similar somatotype (0 %); persons with a low level of neuroticism among patients in general (50.00 %), mesomorphs (46.43 %) and endo-mesomorphs (75.00 %) with mild psoriasis compared with patients without somatotype, mesomorphs and endo-mesomorphs with severe dermatosis (19.12 %., 18.18 % and 11.11 %); persons with an average level of neuroticism among patients in general (22.06 %) and mesomorphs (20.00 %) with severe psoriasis compared with patients without somatotype and mesomorphs with mild dermatosis (3.13 %, 3.57 %); persons who answered insincerely, among patients with mild psoriasis (87.50 %) compared with patients with severe psoriasis (66.18 %); persons with a low level of situational anxiety among patients in general (12.50 %) and mesomorphs (14.29 %) with a mild course of psoriasis compared with patients without somatotype and mesomorphs with a severe course of dermatosis (2.94 % and 3.04 %); persons with a low level of situational anxiety among patients in general (21.88 %) and mesomorphs (17.86 %) with a mild course of psoriasis compared with patients without somatotype and mesomorphs with a severe course of dermatosis (8.82 % and 5.45 %). When comparing the studied indicators between groups with different body type, significantly higher and tendencies to higher values of the percentage of people with an average level of situational anxiety among endo-mesomorphs with mild and severe psoriasis (100 % in both cases) compared with mesomorphs. the corresponding severity of the disease (63.64 % and 46.43 %); persons with a high level of situational anxiety among mesomorphs with severe psoriasis (30.91 %), compared with endo-mesomorphs with a corresponding severity of the disease (0 %); persons with a low level of personal anxiety among endo-mesomorphs suffering from severe psoriasis (22.22 %), compared with mesomorphs suffering from dermatosis of similar severity (5.45 %); persons with a low level of personal anxiety among healthy endo-mesomorphs (46.15 %) compared with healthy mesomorphs (12.82 %); persons with an average level of personal anxiety among healthy mesomorphs (71.79 %) compared with healthy endo-mesomorphs (30.47 %). Thus, our study, conducted using a constitutional approach, allowed us to describe systemic portraits of patients with psoriasis, including the strengths and weaknesses of their morphological and mental organization, necessary to justify differentiated approaches to planning health and prevention measures.
