Acute Form

Natural foci of clonorchiasis are localized on the territory of Primorsky Territory. The incidence of clonorchiasis ranged from 0.57 per 100 thousand population in 2014 (10 cases) to 1.5 per 100 thousand in 2012 (28 cases), and in 2010 (35 cases) to 1.9 per 100 thousand population is the maximum level. Analyzed 100 case histories of patients with clonorchiasis. Women predominated (63%). The age of the patients ranged from 3 to 77 years, the average age was 37 years. 82% of cases fell on the age of 18-70 years, 15% - on children from 3 to 18 years old, 3% - people over 70 years old. In 26% of patients, clonorchiasis proceeded in an acute form, in 74% - in a subclinical form. 89% had C. sinensis cleansing after taking praziquantel.

High Prevalence

Today, around 50 million people worldwide suffer from cataracts, more than a half of them need surgical treatment. High prevalence of this pathology in Ukraine, the need to improve the provision of ophthalmic care to patients, and the reform of the health care system have made the research relevant. Concomitant diseases and special conditions of the eye increase the risk of intra− and postoperative complications, worsen the functional parameters of patients after surgery. In order to develop a unified approach to the treatment of complicated cataracts based on diagnostically related groups of patients, a retrospective analysis of case histories of patients with different variants of complications related to the condition of the lens itself, its ligament apparatus and other structures of the eye was conducted. In each case, the surgeon has to choose the appropriate modification of cataract phacoemulsification surgery. The study proposed the classification of cataract phacoemulsification modifications on the basis of the techniques and the sequence of operation stages, taking into account the classification of the degrees of turbidity of the lens, proposed by L. Buratto. It has been noted that in complicated cases, according to the indications of the patient, surgery may be performed on several modifications of cataract phacoemulsification. The developed classification made it possible to generalize the various variants of pathology and greatly facilitate the choice of tactics of surgical treatment in complicated cataracts. It can be used not only for practical application, but also for improving the qualification of trained professionals. The prospect of further research is to identify contraindications for outpatient treatment of the patients with complicated cataracts. Key words: cataract complication, classification of phacoemulsification modifications, diagnostically related groups.

The present study was undertaken measuring a total of 78 animals of Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) of different ages and sexes maintained under a USDA funded RCC project at Bangladesh agricultural University (BAU) Dairy Farm, Mymensingh. The experiment was conducted to estimate different body measurements of RCC at different age groups. A total of 12 different age groups at 6 months interval were considered for estimation. The age groups were 1-6, 7-12, 13-18, 19-24, 25-30, 31-36, 37-42, 43-48, 49-54, 55-60, 61-66 and 66+ months. Different body measurements were wither height, hip height, body length, chest diameter, chest width, hip width, thurl width and rump length. As expected, it was found that all measurements significantly increased (P<0.01) with the advancement of age. All the estimates reached in maximum level at the highest age class (66+ months) in this study except chest width and rump length (61-66 and 43-48 months class, respectively). It also observed that all the estimates were gradually increased with age, but the rate of increment varied for different measurements for different age groups. The results also revealed to conclude no definite ages at which the estimates reached a maximum level due to lack of animals of more than 66 months of age to composite further age groups.

Pile Capacity

Four case histories where important changes in pile capacity were observed with time are presented. Two show an increase of pile capacity for shaft bearing piles driven into deep sand deposits. The increase occurred over a period longer than needed for pore pressure dissipation. In one case, increases of 33 and 85% in pile capacity were measured 2 and 51 days, respectively, after pile driving. The other two case histories deal with the decrease of pile capacity of close-toe pipe piles driven to shale bedrock. The decrease, determined using dynamic monitoring during initial driving and at restriking a few days later, ranged from 11 to 25%. It is concluded that restriking should be currently practiced on all construction sites to investigate any change in pile capacity after driving. This procedure is particularly recommended for toe bearing piles on shale bedrock.

Thermal Deterioration

Blasting proved ineffective in removing one ice jam and mechanical removal by heavy equiment at three ice jam locations on small rivers had mixed results in reducing flood levels or accelerating jam removal. In all cases, diminishing discharge in conjunction with thermal deterioration of the jammed ice gradually had reduced the flooding problems at all sites prior to the earnest efforts to remove the jams. Frequently, there are environmental drawbacks to both blasting and mechanical removal techniques and other difficulties such as access and safety which can combine to make the utility of these ice jam control methods doubtful in many instances. Key words: ice jams, ice, ice jam removal, ice jam control, flooding.

Natural foci of tick-borne infections associated with tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), borrelia (Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato), including Borrelia miyamotoi, anaplasma, ehrlichia and rickettsia are widespread in the Primorsky Krai. The carriers of these pathogens are ixodid ticks. The population of Primorsky Krai meets with ticks in natural biotopes, as well as in anthropurgic foci. The aim of the study is to give a comparative assessment of the epizootic activity in the natural foci of transmissible tick-borne infections in the south of Primorsky Krai in the epidemic seasons of 2017–2020. In this periodixodid ticks (3778 samples), taken from humans in natural foci in the Primorsky Territory, were studied. The TBEV antigen was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), genetic markers of pathogens were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The incidence of tick-borne infections has been analyzed. Based on the results of monitoring the infection of ixodid ticks, we found that 26.9 % of the studied samples were infected with various pathogens of tick-borne infections. Low infection rate of TBEV in ixodid ticks and high infection with pathogens of a bacterial nature were established. TBEV antigen was detected in 30 cases (1.4 %), TBEV RNA was detected in 20 cases (0.7 %), Borrelia burgdorferis. l. DNA — in 820 cases (30.7 %), ehrlichia — in 64 (2.4 %), anaplasma — in 55 (2.1 %).Genetic marker of Rickettsia spp. was detected in 3 cases (0.9 %) out of 322 examined ixodid ticks, B. miyamotoi — in 26 cases (6.9 %) out of 373 examined samples. A positive correlation was noted between the incidence rates and the cases of detection of TBEV and Lyme borreliosis in ticks. The results obtained indicate the need for annual epidemiological monitoring of infections transmitted by ixodid ticks, to determine the real epidemic situation and the activity of the functioning natural foci transmissible tick-borne infections on the territory of Primorsky Krai.

Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of early treatment in patients with partial optic nerve atrophy, nystagmus and albinism. Material and methods. A study of case histories and outpatient records of 265 patients with partial optic nerve atrophy was carried out. Among them, 219 children received a single course of treatment and 46 children received two or more courses of treatment at different periods of initiation of therapy. Results. After a single course of treatment, 54% of children had no dynamics of visual acuity. After regular complex treatment, visual acuity increased by 0.2 and higher in 58.3% of children at the beginning of treatment under 3 years of age. In cases of isolated lesions of the optic nerve and with a combination of partial atrophy of the optic nerve with nystagmus, an increase in visual acuity by 0.2 and higher was noted in 50% and 60%, respectively, at the start of treatment for children under 3 years of age. Conclusion. Treatment of partial atrophy of the optic nerve is effective in children with regular courses of therapy. An increase in visual acuity by 0.2 and higher was observed twice as often at the start of complex treatment up to 3 years. Key words: optic nerve atrophy, children, visual acuity

Subsurface Investigations

The prediction of subsurface conditions at building sites is a prime responsibility of the geotechnical engineer, and the improved accuracy with which he can make such predictions is a continual challenge. Information is derived primarily by studying the local geological and groundwater conditions, and from sampling and testing of soil and rock. In most instances, this procedure provides adequate assessment of the conditions likely to be encountered during construction. Increasingly, however, particularly in towns and cities, building sites are located where the natural terrain may have been altered significantly by earlier human activity, such as the erection and demolition of buildings and other structures, excavation and subsequent filling of pits and quarries, and the reclamation of land at waterfronts. The remains of these activities are now buried and hidden from view but they may present unusual and sometimes unexpected conditions, which can complicate the construction of new foundations and lead to increased costs for unanticipated work. Records of these earlier activities are sometimes available in drawings, maps, and paintings housed in local archives, and it is the thesis of this paper that these often constitute a useful tool in subsurface investigations—one that is too often overlooked. To support this contention, several case histories illustrating valuable information derived from archival material are cited, including examples from Canada, the United States, and Europe. Key words: archival material, site investigation, anthropogenic material.

Introduction: The article analyzes the course of scientific research that led to the discovery of tick-borne (Amarillovirales: Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) and Japanese (Amarillovirales: Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) encephalitis viruses and further formulation of the basic principles of functioning of natural foci of vector-borne infections. Materials and methods: We did a literature search in the State Archive of the Primorsky Krai, the Vladivostok City Archive, the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Elsevier, Springer, and Google Scholar databases. Results: In the late 1930s, the Ussuri taiga became a “cradle” of the concept of natural focality first formulated by Academician Yevgeny N. Pavlovsky in 1939. Originally encompassing vector-borne infectious diseases this concept was later expanded to include non-vector-borne infections and sapronoses. A great contribution to the meaningful evolution of the theory of sapronoses was made by Academician Georgy P. Somov (Vladivostok). Conclusion: Establishment in May 1941 of a predecessor of the modern Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after G.P. Somovbelonging to the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing became one of the elements of consistent strengthening of the biological security of the country in the Far East.
