Annotation. The problem of causation in the formation of eczema in terms of psychosomatic relationship is currently relevant and virtually unresolved. The application of the complex principle of research determines a multifaceted assessment of the psychological state of the personality of patients with eczema and the possibility of its optimal correction. The aim of the study was to study the differences between the indicators of the leading typological characteristics of temperament and psychodynamic features of personality between healthy and/or eczema patients depending on the severity of dermatosis. Men aged 22 to 35 years, with a diagnosis of true and microbial eczema, were evaluated for the leading typological characteristics of temperament according to the Eysenck questionnaire and psychodynamic personality traits according to the Spielberger-Khanin questionnaire. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya indicators of the level of subjective control of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. In general, it was found that among patients with eczema 5.6 % are introverts, potential introverts – 12.3 %, ambiverts – 44.6 %, potential extroverts – 29.0 % and extroverts – 8.5 %. Compared with healthy individuals, the percentage of patients with various forms and severity of eczema is higher due to subjects with low (all groups of patients) and potentially low levels of neuroticism (true eczema of mild course), low situational (true eczema of mild course eczema and microbial eczema of severe course) and personal (truth of severe eczema) anxiety, and lover – due to patients with potentially high levels of neuroticism (truth of severe eczema), moderate (severe microbial eczema) and high (truth of eczema mild) level and situation level of personal anxiety (the truth of mild eczema). Patients with severe disease are characterized by a higher level of neuroticism (true eczema) and a higher level of personal anxiety (microbial eczema) compared to patients with mild disease. Patients with severe microbial eczema have a higher level of situational anxiety compared to patients with true eczema of similar severity. Thus, psychodiagnostics, which is based solely on patients' self-description of their behavior, emotional and volitional state, leads to inconsistency, subjectivity, uninformativeness of the results of the study and does not reveal the dynamics of the disease or treatment features.

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.

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).

An actual and popular area of research in psychodermatology is to conduct comprehensive studies that comprehensively reveal the mental characteristics of patients with different forms and types of eczema. This will allow in the future to optimize work with patients of this profile and to plan psychotherapeutic measures in the key of a personalized constitutional approach. The aim of the study was to examine the differences in the level of subjective control between healthy and/or eczema patients depending on the severity of dermatosis. Men aged 22 to 35 years, with a diagnosis of true (n=34) and microbial (n=38) eczema, were assessed by the level of subjective control on the basis of the J. Rotter scale edited by E.F. Bazhin et al. (1984). As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya indicators of the level of subjective control of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the license package "Statistica 5.5" using non-parametric evaluation methods. Patients with true eczema, compared with the control group, have a higher level of subjective control in the field of general internality, achievements, educational (professional) relations (mild course) and interpersonal relations (severe course). At patients with a microbic eczema of mild and severe course in comparison with healthy investigated size of level of subjective control is smaller in the field of failures and interpersonal relations. Patients with true eczema compared to patients with microbial eczema found significantly higher levels of subjective control in the field of general internality, failures, educational (professional) and interpersonal relationships. In patients with severe dermatosis compared with patients with mild dermatitis there is a decrease in the level of subjective control in the field of educational (professional) relations (true eczema) and interpersonal relations (microbial eczema). Thus, the peculiarities of the level of subjective control in men with various forms of eczema can serve as psychological predictors of exacerbations and exacerbations of eczema, which is certainly important for both clinicians and health care providers in particular.

According to many numerical literary sources, the modern direction of provision of dental care involves an individual approach to the patient, in particular, based on his gender, age and nationality. This calls for the creation of its own regulatory bases for the population of different countries and ethnic groups, taking into account all possible criteria. The purpose of the study is to establish and analyze the cephalometric parameters by the method of E.P. Harvold in young men and women of Podillia region of Ukraine with orthognathic bite. Primary lateral teleroentgenograms of 38 young men and 55 women with normal occlusion close to orthognathic bite, obtained using the Veraviewepocs 3D device, Morita (Japan), were taken from the data bank of the research center of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Cephalometric measurements were performed according to the recommendations of E.P. Harvold. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out in the license package "Statistica 6.0" using nonparametric methods of estimating the results. When comparing teleroentgenographic indices between boys and girls of the Podillia region of Ukraine with orthognathic occlusion, significantly higher values of the length of the upper and lower jaw, lower facial height and interjaw differences in young men were established, and Ap1uAp1l-DOP angle was significantly higher in young women. When comparing these data with the results obtained by E.P. Harvold, the boys and girls of the Podillia region of Ukraine with orthognathic bite have significantly lower values of the length of the upper and lower jaw and lower facial height. In addition, Ukrainian young women have significantly higher values of the Ap1uAp1l-DOP angle and a tendency to lower interjaw differences, while in young men, the tendency towards higher values of the cross-sectional angle than the value of these parameters obtained by E. Harvold is established. The results of the study confirm the need to create a normative basis for teleroentgenographic indices by the method of E.P. Harvold for the population of different regions of Ukraine, taking into account both sexual and age affiliation.

Using a constitutional approach to predict the onset of a disease can be key not only to solving the problem of late-stage lifestyle modification therapy but also to understanding the deep, seemingly incomprehensible links between organs and body structure. The aim of the study was to establish and analyze the differences in total, longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or psoriatic men of different somatotypes depending on the severity of the disease. Anthropo-somatotypological examination was performed on Ukrainian men (aged 22 to 35 years) with psoriasis (n=100, including 32 with mild and 68 with severe). A clinical assessment of the severity and area of psoriatic lesions was performed using the PASI index. Anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group was taken from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical processing of the obtained results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. In patients with mild and severe psoriasis, men of mesomorphic and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes in comparison with healthy men of the corresponding somatotypes, higher values of almost all total (in the endo-mesomorphs with severe disease), transverse (except for shoulder width) and lateral body size (except endo-mesomorphs with severe disease) was found. In patients with psoriasis, men of endo-mesomorphic somatotype with a mild course of the disease found greater than in patients with a similar course men of mesomorphic somatotype, body weight, length and surface area, height of acromial and finger anthropometric points, and transverse middle thoracic diameters and anteroposterior middle thoracic diameter; and in patients with psoriasis men of endo-mesomorphic somatotype with a severe course of the disease – only greater values than in patients with a similar course of the disease men of mesomorphic somatotype, interspinous distance. When comparing the total, longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the body between men with psoriasis of the corresponding somatotypes, in representatives of the mesomorphic somatotype with a mild course of the disease found greater than with severe course, body length values and lower – posterior middle thoracic diameter. The revealed differences in total, longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or patients with mild or severe psoriasis Ukrainian men of mesomorphic and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes provide an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of the use of body structure and size to identify risk groups psoriasis.

Introduction. A healthy lifestyle is one of the most eff ective methods of preserving health and preventing non-infectious diseases. The mechanisms and factors that infl uence the formation of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle in employees engaged in harmful working conditions have not been suffi ciently studied. The study of these mechanisms will allow us to more eff ectively shape health-saving behavior.The aim of the study is to study negative aff ectivity, social suppression and anxiety in the formation of motivation to maintain health and a healthy lifestyle in coal industry workers.Materials and methods. A survey was conducted of 75 employees of mines and sections in the South of Kuzbass with an established diagnosis of occupational diseases, as well as 54 people who do not work in harmful working conditions (engineering and technical workers). Surveys were conducted using the method “Index of motivation to health and a healthy lifestyle”, the presence of personality type D was conducted using the DS14 questionnaire, the level of personal and situational anxiety was assessed using the Spielberger — Hanin questionnaire.Results. Th e level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle among patients with occupational diseases is signifi cantly lower than the level of motivation for the health of engineering and technical workers. Th e infl uence of negative reaction and social suppression on the level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle was not found. Th e level of situational anxiety also has no eff ect on health motivation. A higher level of personal anxiety among people with a high level of motivation for a healthy lifestyle was determined.Conclusions. Personal anxiety aff ects the level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle in people with occupational diseases.

Mediterranean Fever

Background:Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an auto inflammatory disease with recurrent attacks of serositis. Frequent attacks and disease related sequels may be associated with co-morbidities in FMF patients.Objectives:One of the tools for evaluating the FMF severity is the international severity scoring system for FMF (ISSF)1. This score includes disease related sequels, acute phase measurements, attack features and exertional leg pain. Therefore, more severe disease may be link with subclinical inflammation, amyloidosis and frequent, prolonged and widespread attacks. All these components may augment the frequency of non-disease related co-morbidities.Methods:We enrolled 158 FMF patients who fulfilled modifiedTel-HashomerDiagnosisCriteria2. The patients dichotomized based upon disease severity (mild disease or severe disease). Patients with ISSF scores lower or equal to 2 were accepted to have mild disease. Then, we compared frequency of non-disease related co-morbidities between the groups. These co-morbidities arehypertension, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism cardiovascular diseases, coronary artery diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, chronic renal disease (non-FMF related), chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and diabetes mellitus. This study was approved by the Local Research Ethics Committee and carried out in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration. All the patients gave written informed consent. P-value lower than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results:Demographic features, disease duration, smoking history and body mass index (BMI) were similar between the groups. Frequency of co-morbidity in severe disease group was statistically higher than mild disease group (p=0.02). Most frequent co-morbidity was hypertension in both groups.Table.Features of mild and severe FMF groupsMild (n=135)Severe (n=23)pGender (M/F)47/8811/120.23Age36.4±11.336.5±14.30.68Smoking (%)38 (28.1)5 (21.7)0.52BMI (kg/m2)24.3±9.224.0±8.90.34Disease duration (year)7.7±11.38.6±14.30.09Amyloidosis (%)2 (1.4)3 (13.0)0.02Exon 10 homozygote (%)35 (25.9)9 (39.1)0.19Colchicine dosage (mg/day)1.2±0.41.4±0.50.02ISSF scores0.7 ±0.73.4±0.5<0.001Co-morbidity (%)25 (18.5)9 (39.1)0.02Conclusion:In our FMF patient cohort, we found that severity of the disease may be associated with higher frequency of co-morbidities. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the high possibility of co-morbidities in patients with more severe FMF and addressed these co-morbidities timely and properly.References:[1]Demirkaya E, et al.

The emergence of novel coronavirus disease-2019 poses an unprecedented challenge to pediatricians. While the majority of children experience mild disease, initial case reports on young infants are conflicting. We present a case series of 8 hospitalized infants 60 days of age or younger with coronavirus disease-2019. A quarter of these patients had coinfections (viral or bacterial). None of these infants had severe disease. Continued vigilance in testing this vulnerable group of infants is warranted.

Abstract Background The incidence of pertussis shows an increasing trend in recent years, but some clinicians often lack sufficient understanding of the clinical characteristics and risk factors for severe pertussis, and more effective measures should be taken to reduce the incidence and mortality of pertussis in young infants Methods A retrospective study was conducted, and 184 infants and children with pertussis who had been hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics of Beijing Ditan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2017 were included. Clinical data of the patients were collected and the clinical characteristics were statistically analyzed Results Among the 184 patients, 41.85% were infants < 3 months of age, and 65.22% of the total patients were not vaccinated against pertussis. There were 22 critically ill children, among whom 4 died, and compared with mild cases, they had a higher proportion of children younger than 3 months of age and infants not vaccinated against pertussis (63.64% vs. 38.89% and 100% vs. 60.49%, respectively); a higher proportion of children with severe pneumonia (100% vs. 0%); higher leukocyte count(× 109/L , 35.80 ± 20.53 vs 19.41 ± 8.59); and a higher proportion of children with severe hyperleukocytosis (18.18% vs. 0%, respectively) (P<0.05) Conclusions 1. Infants aged <3 months not vaccinated for pertussis appear more likely to become infected and have more severe disease. 2. Severe pneumonia and hyperleukocytosis are the main mechanisms underlying severe pertussis.
