Nowadays, the problem of the quality of products of animal origin occupies an important place in our country and all over the world. This is due to the increasing influence of technogenic factors on the environment, crops and productive animals. One of the main indicators of the quality of meat is its freshness. The existing traditional methods for determining the freshness of meat, in spite of the rather long practice of their application, are generally inefficient, subjective, do not have high sensitivity and specificity. One of the problems of reliable evaluation of meat sold in the markets is the detection of dystrophic and edematic changes in the muscle tissue of slaughter animals, in the presence of which meat must be culled. Such processes in meat can develop at various diseases and long starvation. Generally accepted laboratory methods practically do not reveal signs of swelling of the muscular tissue. The aim of the research was to study the possibility of using the express method of freshness control during veterinary and sanitary examination of meat sold in the markets. Approbation of the express method for determining the freshness of meat using bone marrow was carried out. It is shown that this express method allowed to increase the number of rejected samples with revealed signs of poor quality in 1,5...2 times in comparison with generally accepted organoleptic and physicochemical methods of research. It is shown that with the express analysis of muscle tissue it is possible to reliably determine the poor quality of meat, associated with pathological processes in the body or with the development of signs of spoilage. Such express methods have a certain perspective of using by laboratories of veterinaty and sanitary examination in markets and fairs, as well as in production laboratories of meat processing enterprises.

The quality of raw materials and goods of animal origin depends first of all on the safety of feed, their balance in terms of the main nutrients and digestibility by the body. As a rule, the lower the quality and safety of feed, the lower the productivity of all types of animals and poultry. The quality of feed is influenced by all stages of their production: growing conditions, harvesting and storage, processing technologies, canning and preparation for feeding. Where high-quality feed is used in diets, maximum productivity and high realization of the genetic potential of animals are obtained. During the storage and processing of plant and animal raw materials its physic and mechanical, biochemical, sanitary and microbiological properties change. This can be avoided only by observing the sanitary and hygienic requirements for bagging, harvesting, and storing feed. The quality of feed is confirmed by its physical, chemical, organoleptic, microbiological and other indicators, which determines the variety of feed control methods at all stages of their turnover. In this connection, the development and strengthening of control over the quality and safety of feed and feed additives is one of the important tasks of modern animal feeding science. The purpose of the work was to carried out a comparative assessment of four samples of the starting compound feed SK-3 for piglets of different producers. The experimental part of the work has been carried out in the laboratory of veterinary expertise at the compound feed plant LLC “Athens-Volga”. For the study of compound feed an average sample was taken from each sample, separating from the combined sample using a hand scoop according to Federal standard 13496.0-2016. Methods of sampling. Quality and safety control was carried out according to organoleptic, physic and chemical, microbiological indicators and the content of mycotoxins in compound feed. Monitoring of compound feed of the compared samples of the starting compound feed for piglets SK-3 according to the studied indicators has shown that all samples meet the sanitary and hygienic requirements of Federal standard of our country.

The purpose of the article is to conduct a study of the main problems of delivery of orthopedic care in dentistry. It is known that dental health determines the overall health of the body. The comfort of life of the population depends on their condition, since damaged teeth negatively affect the state of the digestive system and respiratory organs. As for the aesthetics of the appearance, here teeth have a special role, since they are able to provide both proper speech and the necessary level of human sociability. Thus, improving the quality of delivery of medical care is an important task for the industry today. The problem of the availability of orthopedic dentists exists only in those areas of the region where there is no orthopedic care encounters at all, or orthopedic care encounters are carried out by part-time doctors. Accordingly, it can be said that municipal dental clinics are generally provided with the necessary personnel. In this regard, one can talk about the need to improve the quality of treatment of dental diseases in polyclinics, primarily in terms of orthopedic care for the population. However, today there are frequent cases of return visits for orthopedic care due to its poor-quality during initial treatment. And the doctor’s task during second denture treatment is to avoid mistakes made earlier and to provide competent and highquality orthopedic services. The author concludes that the results of a study of the work of orthopedic units of the region showed a steady growth of most indicators year by year, but a number of economic problems were found during the analysis of the profitability reserves of orthopedic dental care. So, it is necessary to create a unified system for calculating the financial plan for the correct assessment of the status of orthopedic dental care for the population, to analyze the quality indicators for subsidized denture treatment, to introduce the concept of “prosthesis working lifespan”, which will establish the reasons and justify the terms of the second denture treatment.

AbstractPeople with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) experi-ence unrefreshing sleep, aches, hypersensitivity, and cognitive and emotional difficulties. Although no specific causative factor or biological agent is known to account for all of the features of FMS and these related diagnoses, the generalized hypersensitivity of the body is considered to be affected by disturbances in cen-tral nervous system (CNS) functions. Such CNS dis-turbances are intrinsic to the sleeping-waking brain, where the common symptom elements in all these illnesses are poor quality of sleep, nonspecific pain, fatigue, and psychological distress in the absence of known disease pathology.

The specificity of post-mortem redox processes in pork with the development of PSS (Porcine Stress Syndrome), which is the syndrome of pig stress, is considered. Pre-slaughter stress leads to the increased breakdown of glycogen, a slight decrease in the pH of muscle tissue during autolysis and a significant pH shift to the acidic side. To study the physicochemical parameters of muscle tissue after deboning, samples of the longest muscle were taken at the level of 9–12 thoracic vertebrae, 400 g of each half-carcass. Changes in the pH of meat in the experimental groups correlated with the indicators of volatile fatty acids (VFA), which considered the indicator of meat quality. The level of VFA in the group with a dosage of 10 mg/kg of lithium ascorbate was 3.07 % lower than in the control. We also recorded the higher pH values in the first experimental group (by 3 % relative to the control group).When the pH balance shifted to the acidic side, the acidosis occurs, which negatively affected muscle contraction in living organisms. In post-slaughter period the acidosis prevented the contraction of muscle fibers, which increased the organoleptic quality of meat products. The lithium ascorbate prevented the activation of metabolic processes under the action of catecholamines and reduced the level of organic acids in muscle fibers with increasing the stress resistance. The use of lithium ascorbate as a stress protector could reduce these negative effects and increase the organoleptic quality. We suggested to include lithium ascorbate in a standard diet in a dosage of 10 mg/kg of the body weight during the entire feeding period. The presented scheme of lithium ascorbate usage will allow achieving the best organoleptic and physicochemical qualities of pig meat products.

People with kidney failure can experience a range of symptoms that lead to suffering and poor quality of life. Available therapies are limited, and evidence for new treatment options is sparse, often resulting in incomplete relief of symptoms. There is growing interest in the potential for cannabinoids, including cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol, to treat symptoms across a wide range of chronic diseases. As legal prohibitions are withdrawn or minimized in many jurisdictions, patients are increasingly able to access these agents. Cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, are widely expressed in the body, including within the nervous and immune systems, and exogenous cannabinoids can have anxiolytic, anti-emetic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Considering their known physiological actions and successful studies in other patient populations, cannabinoids may be viewed as potential therapies for a variety of common symptoms affecting those with kidney failure, including pruritus, nausea, insomnia, chronic neuropathic pain, anorexia, and restless legs syndrome. In this review, we summarize the pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of cannabinoids, along with what is known about the use of cannabinoids for symptom relief in those with kidney disease, and the evidence available concerning their role in management of common symptoms. Presently, while these agents show varying efficacy with a reasonable safety profile in other patient populations, evidence-based prescribing of cannabinoids for people with symptomatic kidney failure is not possible. Given the symptom burden experienced by individuals with kidney failure, there is an urgent need to understand the tolerability and safety of these agents in this population, which must ultimately be followed by robust, randomized controlled trials to determine if they are effective for symptom relief.

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome occurring in patients with an abnormality of cardiac structure or function that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with or eject blood. Patients with heart failure develop a constellation of symptoms (dyspnea and fatigue) and signs (edema and rales) that lead to frequent hospitalizations, poor quality of life, and a shortened life expectancy. Heart failure has also been defined as the failure of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the metabolic demands of the body, or the ability to do so only at elevated filling pressures. Congestive heart failure is the end stage for many cardiac diseases. Cardiomyopathy refers to any condition in which there is a structural abnormality of the myocardium itself.

Use of detailed norms for feeding geese with the introduction of fats into the feeding diet is necessary to increase feed conversion and to obtain better products. The presented article shows the results of studying of the effect of complete compound feed with different levels of crude fat on the chemical and fatty acid composition, organoleptic properties of the muscle tissue of young geese, as well as the biochemical composition of their blood serum depending on the level of crude fat and linoleic acid in complete compound feed. It was determined that the introduction of 2% of sunflower oil into the diets of geese in the starting and finishing complete compound feed did not reveal statistically significant differences in the concentration of protein and fat in the muscle tissue of young geese with an increase in the level of crude fat by 1.9-2.0% and linoleic acid by 43-47%, compared with the control (4.9-5.5% of crude fat). However, a tendency of an increase in the content of monounsaturated fatty acids in the muscle tissue, primarily palmitic acid, as well as an improvement in the organoleptic properties of meat was revealed in the experimental poultry. The developed complete compound feed did not adversely affect homeostasis in the body of young geese up to 60 days of age.

The literature has highlighted the increased pressure on the auditing profession to achieve global harmony in auditing practice (i.e. Humphrey et al., 2009; Michas, 2011; Holm & Zaman, 2012), thereby requiring auditing regulators and standards-setters to revise and improve auditing standards in their own local contexts. This study seeks to determine the contemporary conduct and determinants of local auditing practice and offers an analysis of how Libyan audit stakeholders perceive the prospect of adopting harmonised auditing standards or developing such a set of standards for local use. A survey was completed by 196 respondents, representing five stakeholder groups in the Libyan auditing arena. Statistical analysis, via the SPSS, was performed. The outcomes are deemed to be generalizable given the size of the sample. This study has found that the Libyan Accounting and Auditing practice have varied according to variable concerning the personnel involved. And that the result is an overall poor quality of audit work in the country. This needs to be raised, and the harmonisation of audit standards is one way to achieve not only this but a greater degree of credibility in the country’s financial reporting. The study contributes to the body of literature in respect of the Libyan accountancy environment by specifically exploring the perception of stakeholders towards the adoption of harmonised audit standards. By implication, it makes a contribution to the wider body of knowledge about auditing in the Arab countries, where similar cultural conventions and attitudes exist.

To Study the Bahiparimarjana Chikitsa of Shoola from Bhruhatrayi and Laghutrayi. Pain is defined as an Unpleas- ant feeling that is conveyed to Brain by Sensory Neurons. It is an Unpleasant Sensation localised to a part of Body. It is often described in terms of Penetrating or Tissue Destructive Process of Bodily or Emotional Reaction. Pain is main reason for visiting Doctor in 50%of cases. It is a major Symptom in many Medical Conditions and can interfere with Persons quality of Life and General Functioning. Acute Pain is usually managed with Medications such as Analgesic and Anesthetics. Caffeine, Ibuprofen, Ketamine, Opioids are some Pain killers used to treat Pain. In Modern Medicine there are few external treatments to reduce Pain like Spray, Ointment and Gels. But on contrary Ayurveda has many Bahiparimarjana Chikitsa (External Treatments) to reduce Shoola (Pain) like Ahangya (Anointing), Snehana (Oil Massage), Swedan (Sudation), etc. These External Treatments work at Site of Shoola gets absorbed at Skin by Bhrajaka Pitta and medicine reaches to each Tissue of the Body and reduces Shoola. The Popular Verse “Vatat Dhrute Nasit Ruja” means Without Vata Dosha there Cannot be Pain indicates involvement of Vata Dosha in every Pain. The Best Medicine of Vata Dosha is Sneha (Oil/Ghee/ Muscle Fat / Bone Marrow). Vata Dosha and Taila (Oil) both have Opposite Qualities. According to “Samanya Vishesha Siddhant” VataDosha- has Laghu (Light), Ruksha (Rough), Sukshma (Minute), Shita (Cold), Chala (Movable) Guna (Qualities) whereas Sneha (Taila) is Guru (Heavy), Snigdha (Unctuous), Ushna (Warm) Guna. The Sneha reduces Vata Dosha and thereby helps in reducing Shoola. This Paper will emphasize on Types of Bahiparimarjana Chikitsa of Shoola, Number of Bahiparimarjana Chikitsa mentioned for particular type of Shoola and Mode of Action of Bahiparimar- jana Chikitsa. Keywords: Shoola, Bahiparimarjana Chikitsa, Sthanika Shoola, Vyadhijanya Shoola, Vegadharanajanya Shoola.
