When examining the population exposed to organic and inorganic compounds of mercury, a comprehensive approach is proposed, including chemical monitoring of environmental objects, biological monitoring, clinical examination of persons exposed to mercury, identification of high-risk groups.

The role of pharmacotherapy in the management of depressive disorders is well-established and frequently reviewed. This paper focuses on the prospects for reducing the incidence, prevalence and morbidity of depression through psychosocial interventions. A central requirement in prevention is a knowledge of the epidemiology of the disorder being investigated. This data can be used to identify high-risk groups. By comparing the number of known cases with population levels of morbidity, it allows comment on help-seeking behaviour and accessibility of services. Also, differences in incidence and prevalence rates give some indication of the chronicity of the disorder.

Pilonidal disease is a particularly difficult disorder to treat. Guidelines and recommendations for the treatment of pilonidal disease neglects the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), but studies strongly support the role of NPWT in prevention of surgical site infection in high-risk groups. During a webinar on the pilonidal disease, we asked 51 participants to complete a questionnaire about the treatment of pilonidal disease. They answered questions about the way they treat their patients with pilonidal disease, and about using NPWT. The study showed that relatively large number of surgeons use NPWT to treat patients with pilonidal disease, the majority of them are satisfied at maintaining the tightness and effectiveness of a vacuum dressing and would use the single-use NPWT systems, if they was more available. It seems that the NPWT in the pilonidal disease is increasingly used and this method is gaining more and more popularity.

The article represents the combined results of 1-st and 2-nd trimester maternal serum biochemical markers investigation. Associations of biochemical screening results and the main obstetric complications are studied. Authors critically analyzed the using of biochemical markers of the fetal chromosomal abnormalities as indicators for formation of high risk groups of obstetric complications

Background: The progress of labour can be graphically represented using the WHO partogragh, which helps in early detection and prevention of complication of labour, thus resulting in a better feto-maternal outcome especially in high risk cases.Methods: The study was undertaken at Hitech Medical College and Hospital, Bhubaneswar from March 2017 to February 2019 on 200 high risk patients. The progress of labour was plotted and assessed on Modified WHO partograph.Results: Majority of the cases were referred cases. Augmentation of labour was carried out in 56 cases. The mean duration of labour in the first stage was 5.4 hours and 4.1 hours in primi and multigravidas, whereas that of the second stage of labour are 37.5 minutes and 26.3 minutes respectively. 51 cases had prolonged labour and 15 cases had arrest of labour in the second stage. Maximum number of cases underwent LSCS due to abnormal labour progression. 8.7% of the cases had PPH and 2.3% had puerperal sepsis. Neonatal asphyxia was seen in 13.6% cases and 2.8% had early neonatal death.Conclusion: The results conclude that the WHO modified partograph is an inexpensive useful tool in monitoring the progress of labour and reducing foeto maternal morbidity in high risk groups.
