Mycotic diseases, ie those caused by microscopic fungi, are widespread among animals. As for cattle, at present ungulomycosis has become the most widespread, in which keratolytic fungi affect the hooves of animals, causing complications such as deformities, pododermatitis, lesions of the hoof bone. Ungulomycosis (from the Latin ungula – hoof, Gr. Mykes – fungus) – a disease of the hooves, which are caused by microscopic fungi that have keratolytic properties. In most cases of ungulomycosis, its complications are most often registered, and not the disease itself, which does not allow to carry out effective preventive measures and treatment of animals in a timely manner. That is why the purpose of the work was to study and concretization the main factor of the disease and the contributing conditions for the disease. For this purpose the basic and additional clinical methods of research were used, including microscopy of the destroyed horn and sowing on nutrient media to determine the species content of microscopic fungi. The research was carried out in the farms of the western regions of Ukraine on cows of Black-Spotted and Holstein breeds in the stall period with tethered animals. It is found that the pathogenic action of microscopic fungi-keratomycetes on the hooves of cattle is carried out in the presence of favorable conditions of external and internal nature, primarily insufficient housing conditions and poor feeding. In particular, for osteodystrophy due to ungulomycosis, the destruction of the hoof's horn is accelerated, which complicates the pathological process. For purulent subdermatitis of traumatic origin, microscopic fungi-keratomycetes act as an additional or contributing factor to the disease. Further research will focus on the development of effective treatments and measures to prevent ungulomycosis.

Of the total number of animal diseases, 70–80 % are non-communicable diseases, and more than 50 % are surgical diseases, which cause significant economic damage to the livestock industry due to reduced productivity and premature culling of livestock. Irrational, unbalanced in terms of macro- and microelements, vitamins, carbohydrates feeding leads to metabolic disorders. At the same time, deep destructive-degenerative changes in bones, joints, ligaments and tendons are registered, horn formation in the hooves is disturbed and a less stable horn is produced. Omission in feeding unsatisfactory housing conditions and inadequate care of animals. When such conditions are often supplemented, the outer cover of animals, in particular the hooves, is affected first of all. In the event of inflammatory and dystrophic processes at the base of the skin of the hooves there is a violation of tissue (tubular) and cellular structure. The horn of such hooves undergoes changes in the form of parakeratosis and deformation; this contributes to the spread and accumulation of fungal flora, which shows its pathogenic action mainly due to enzymatic activity and toxic products, which characterizes these microorganisms as a factor in the destructive processes of the hoof horn. With reduced mechanical stability and destroyed by microscopic fungi of hoof horn is more likely to develop aseptic or purulent pododermatitis. Here, the fungal flora is not only a contributing factor in the occurrence of diseases, but also as one of the factors complicating the course of the disease. That is why timely detection and effective treatment of ungulomycosis prevents the complication of the pathological process, which can even lead to culling of animals. The essence of treatment of superficial ungulomycosis is reduced to functional cleaning of hooves and their antiseptic treatment in the form of fungicidal powders, sprays, hoof baths. In deep ungulomycosis, and, moreover, in combination with purulent pododermatitis, treatment includes local anesthesia, orthopedic treatment, antiseptic treatment with isolation, pathogenetic therapy. Prevention of ungulomycosis is based on knowledge of the etiology of the disease and the pathogenetic mechanisms of its development.  Its essence is to form in animals a strong hoof horn, prevent its destruction and eliminate favorable conditions for the reproduction of keratomycetes. This includes proper feeding, proper housing conditions and appropriate animal care.

In the Republic of Moldova, the main factor contributing to the floods is the torrential rains from the warm semester of the year, which create favorable conditions for triggering strong, sometimes catastrophic floods in the rivers of the republic, especially in the smaller ones. During the study period, 40 floods with significant damage were recorded in the country, with an annual frequency ranging from 0 to 12 cases. In the administrativeterritorial profile, the damages caused by the aforementioned floods varied greatly. Based on the statistical data, a digital map was developed reflecting the degree of exposure of the territory of the Republic of Moldova in the administrative-territorial aspect to the mentioned risk, expressed by the value of the damages caused. In order to reduce the impact caused by the flood floods, measures have been developed to prevent, reduce and combat the negative effects of that risk.

This study assessed Australian Hajj pilgrims’ knowledge, attitude and practices throughout their Hajj journey to understand their health behaviors, use of preventative measures and development of illness symptoms. A prospective cohort study with data collection at three phases (before, during and after Hajj) was conducted among Australian pilgrims between August and December 2015. Baseline data were collected from 421 pilgrims before Hajj, with 391 providing follow-up data during Hajj and 300 after their home return. Most participants (78% [329/421]) received one or more recommended vaccines; travel agents’ advice was the main factor affecting vaccination uptake. Most participants (69% [270/391]) practiced hand hygiene with soap and sanitizers frequently, followed by disposable handkerchief use (36% [139/391]) and washing hands with water only (28% [111/391]). During Hajj 74% (288/391) of participants reported one or more illness symptoms, 86% (248/288) of these symptoms were respiratory. Cough was less often reported among pilgrims who received vaccinations, cleaned their hands with soap or alcoholic hand rubs, while a runny nose was less common among those who frequently washed their hands with plain water but was more common among those who used facemasks. This study reveals that most Australian Hajj pilgrims complied with key preventative measures, and that tour group operators’ advice played an important role in compliance. Pilgrims who were vaccinated and practiced hand hygiene were less likely to report infection symptoms.

Atypical myopathy (AM) is a frequently fatal seasonal pasture myopathy that emerges in Europe. Outbreaks are of an acute and unexpected nature and practitioners should be prepared to handle these critically ill patients. This review retraces the history of AM and describes results of epidemiological investigations that were conducted to raise hypotheses concerning the etiology of this devastating disease as well as to be able to suggest potential preventive measures. Also, clinical studies have contributed to a better definition and recognition of the syndrome, whereas elucidation of the pathological process, identified as a multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD), was a great step forward improving medical management of AM and guiding the search for the etiological agent towards toxins that reproduce the identified defect. Treatment plans can be extrapolated from the described clinical signs and metabolic problems, but they remain limited to supportive care until the causative agent has been identified with certainty. Since treatment is still unsuccessful in the majority of cases, the main emphasis is currently still on prevention. This paper aims at being a practical support for equine clinicians dealing with AM and is based on discussion and comparison of the currently available scientific data.

Psoriasis is a chronic immunologically associated inflammatory skin disease associated with systemic concomitant diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. The evolution of ideas about the essence of this dermatosis has led to the concept of a “psoriatic march”: psoriasis as a chronic inflammatory disease is associated with a systemic pathological process. According to numerous epidemiological studies, up to 5–7 % of the world’s population suffer from psoriasis with a continuing increase in the incidence, including severe and torpid phenotypes that lead to the most able-bodied segments of the population becoming disabled. In recent years, the question arises more often of states comorbid to psoriasis. Dermatosis is often combined with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), mental disorders, immune-mediated diseases such as Crohn’s disease, lupus erythematosus. The main factor contributing to the formation of comorbidity in psoriasis is the commonality of some links in the pathogenesis of dermatosis and the listed diseases.

The accumulation of contaminants in electrical insulators reduce their performance and may lead to failures. Estimating the degree of pollution of in-service equipment is not a trivial task as the process of contamination depends on several factors. It is necessary to monitor the insulators so that preventive measures can be taken in a timely manner. In this context, this paper aims to study how the amplitude, angular phase and total harmonic distortion (THD) of the leakage current can be used to monitor insulators and how these parameters are affected by the application of hydrophobic coatings. For this purpose, standard uncoated and coated glass insulator samples were subjected to electrical tests in a salt-fog chamber while the leakage current was monitored. The results show that the analyzed parameters provide relevant information about the insulation condition and how the application of hydrophobic coatings results in improvements in the insulator performance.

The relevance of the study. Social and hygienic research began in the mid-XIXth century, in the XXth century they began to be actively conducted in 1966, in the last decade there has been a decrease in the incidence of patients diagnosed with skin disease and subcutaneous fiber, little-studied questions remain concerning the effect of medical and social factors on the development of drug toxicodermia - MT. The aim is to determine the risk factors of the disease on the basis of a medical and social study of patients with toxiermia, as well as a clinical picture of the course of the disease, taking into account the severity of the pathological process. Material and methods. The subjects of the study were patients with MT (men and women between the ages of 18 and 70 years). Patients with light mt (I group - 1139 people), patients with moderate to MT (II group - 129 people). Control group (KG - 3729 people) - patients with no signs of MT (applied for another profile disease). Results. Most patients with MT are women under the age of 30, married, living in a separate apartment, more often they are workers, employees and students who are not committed to bad habits, with an allergist history, the most pronounced MT manifestations are itching, swelling and erythematosis rashes. Conclusion. In the implementation of preventive measures to prevent the development of MT among the population, it is necessary to pay special attention to women under 30 years of age with an allergist history.

The controlling system is one of the most promising tools for effective enterprise management. Unitary enterprises of water and waste disposal, the situation in which has been characterized for a long time as a crisis, are reproached with the inefficiency of the system of financial and economic activity management. In addition, they are exposed to regulatory risks like no other business. The controlling system will improve the existing management system, identify threats in a timely manner, identify development factors and take preventive measures within the framework of anti-crisis management of a water and wastewater service enterprise.

Lying Down

Although the consequences of prolonged lying on a hard surface are as old as the human race, publications on this subject are scarce. This is due to the fact that a decubitus ulcer never occurs in isolation but is nearly always a complication of some other condition. The term “decubitus” was already used by Hildnaus in 1590 and is derived from the Latin word decumbere which means “lying down” (1). The most important fact to keep in mind is that pressure sores can be prevented. This is the reason why this article not only discusses the management of pressure sores but also the importance of preventive measures. The basis of effective treatment is early detection and an adequate knowledge of the fundamental pathological process. Only adequate preventive measures, careful examination of the lesions, and a thorough knowledge of the products used can avoid unnecessary suffering by patients.
