Introduction. Due to the growing prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) among the adult population of industrialized countries, the issues of prevention and treatment of this disease are under the close attention of researchers and are among the most pressing problems of modern cardiology.Material and methods. The survey of 110 employees (84 women and 26 men) of one of the scientific libraries of Baku city was conducted with the help of a set of standard methods of epidemiological research in cardiology.Results of the research. The presence of AH was found in 26.4% of persons in the institution under study. Moreover, 15.5% of them were patients with AH, the remaining 10.9% were patients who did not know about their disease. In order to determine the possible risk of new cases of AH in this institution, a comparative analysis of the frequency of occurrence of the main risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among the surveyed staff with the presence and absence of AH was conducted. Although all patients without AH were younger than 40 years of age, the incidence of major RF of CVD was noted, in some cases close to that of patients with AH.Conclusion. The received data testify to the fact that the introduction of preventive measures aimed at the correction of the RF of CVD taking into account the specific conditions and specifics of work in the institution under study will significantly reduce the possibility of new cases of AH among the investigated category of patients.

This review analyzes and summarizes the results of major epidemiological studies aimed at assessing the prevalence of arterial hypertension, one of the most significant cardiovascular risk factors according to the socioeconomic factors (the ESSE study, the PURE study). Comparative characteristics of both the prevalence of arterial hypertension and the level of awareness among the population about the presence of arterial hypertension, adherence to treatment and control of blood pressure among residents of countries with different socio-economic levels are given. We concluded that despite the implementation of preventive measures, the gap between the diagnosis of arterial hypertension, the subsequent control of blood pressure and adherence to treatment in most countries remains rather large. This indicates the need for a more thorough analysis of possible causes and the development of new preventive measures.

Aim. To explore the public opinion on provided information load about arterial hypertension preventive measures. Methods. Prospective study including adult population of Baku city was performed. Modified international questionnaire SF-36 (the Azerbaijan version) was administered to the study subjects, 2584 completed questionnaires were received. Subject were distributed to 3 groups. All subjects were additionally provided questionnaires studying public need for the medical information on arterial hypertension. Of all study subjects, 374 subjects of the 1st group, 212 of the 2nd group and 632 of the 3rd group responded back. Results. Public awareness of the arterial hypertension was overall assessed as unsatisfactory. Even in subjects with controlled arterial hypertension, despite constant doctor visits and undergoing treatment, only 18.4±2.0% of questioned showed reported knowledge, and 12.6±1.7% were under-informed. Level of knowledge of the majority of questioned subject was assessed as moderate - 37.7±2.5%, and sufficient - 31.3±2.4% of subjects. Situation was even worse in subjects with uncontrolled arterial hypertension and in control group, where 30.7±3.2 and 36.9±1.9% of subjects, respectively, were under-informed, and 18.9±2.7 и 21.4±1.6% were completely not informed about arterial hypertension. Priority sources of medical information were doctors, followed by television and environment. At the same time, information got from doctors was described by the subjects as scarce, matter of common knowledge, non-specific. Meanwhile, the need for the risk factors and ways of their control was high. The main part of the questioned subjects were motivated in terms of the blood pressure, blood glucose level, body weight control, proper nutrition and physical exercise, smoking cessation and low alcohol consumption. Conclusion. Public awareness of the medical care and disease prevention, including arterial hypertension, is insufficient. Active informing targeted to public preventive behavior correction is required.

Currently, despite the successes and progress in medicine, incidence of preterm births (PB) does not decrease in the world. Moreover, there is an increasing tendency in industrialized countries. Modern approach for PB prevention is based on incomplete understanding of its occurrence mechanisms, as well as sequence and timing of preventive measures. Primarily obstetricians and gynecologists focus their attention on identifying PB risk factors, as well as on cervical shortening, while prevention includes prescribing medications of progestogen group and / or methods of mechanical action on obturator cervical function. Effectiveness of the currently existing methods of PR prevention are analyzed in the review.

The aim: Is to scientifically substantiate the concept of personalized medicine in the prevention of arterial hypertension (AH) among the adult population at the regional level. Materials and methods: The study, after obtaining informed consent, involved 2000 patients, residents of Zaporizhzhia Region, including 1000 patients (average age 59±0.5 years, the ratio of men to women 1:1.22 people) with and 1000 patients (average age of whom is 62±0.7 years, the ratio of men to women is 1:1.1) without AH. The data of the sociological survey were processed, the methods of mathematical modeling, statistical, system analysis were applied. Odds ratio (OR) is determined by generally accepted methods with the calculation of 95% of confidence interval (CI). Results: The application of the concept of personalized medicine in the prevention of AH among the adult population has been scientifically substantiated by studying the associations between medical and social risk factors and the development of AH and determining on their basis 3 modules – “risk behavior”, “adverse health factors” and “social determinants of the development of AH”, based on stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: It has been proved that the use of the final prognostic model of the development of arterial hypertension with the inclusion of the most significant risk factors has high operational characteristics: sensitivity – 78.6%, specificity – 96.6%, positive predicative value – 95.85%, negative predicative value – 81.86%, the area under the ROC curve is 0.9623. The application of the concept of personalized medicine in the prevention of this disease among the adult population was substantiated by studying the associations between medical and social risk factors and the development of arterial hypertension.

Purpose: a comprehensive assessment of risk factors and a population risk of arterial hypertension (AH), which is conditioned by them, among indigenous and non-indigenous population of Mountain Shoria. Materials and methods. We conducted a clinical and epidemiological study of the population who live compactly in the areas of Mountain Shoria (Orton and Ust-Kabyrza villages) and in the urban-type village (Sheregesh). These regions of middle mountains are situated in the south of Western Siberia. We examined 1178 inhabitants of the indicated villages by a continuous method, the sampling consisted of adult population (18 years and older). For the estimation of the population risk of AH, conditioned by cardiovascular risk factors, we calculated a load by these factors, consisting of the ratio of the prevalence of these factors in the studied subpopulations to the prevalence in the entire cohort. Results. Among the studied risk factors the greatest contribution to the prevalence of AH in the entire sample has the abdominal obesity - 100 c.u., obesity - 77 c.u., elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol - 73 c.u., carbohydrate metabolism disorders - 59 c.u., elevated indicator of total cholesterol - 56 c.u., lack of physical activity - 54 c.u., dyslipidemia - 53 c.u. The contribution of the other risk factor is fewer, in the range from 1 to 27 c.u. The total value of the load with risk factors in the entire sample is 556 c.u. The minimum values of additional risk of AH in all age groups are registered in Shor men, the maximum values - in women of non-indigenous ethnic group. The direction of changes with age of additional risk of AH in gender groups are different: in men - a slight increase in each successive age group, in women - a pronounced increase of load in 40-64 years followed by a slight increase in the senior age group. Conclusion. The conducted study indicates the differences of population risk of AH associated with cardiovascular risk factors in the ethnic cohorts of Mountain Shoria.

Prevention And Treatment

The coronavirus disease – 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus virus – 2 (SARS-CoV-2), set it foots in China during December 2019 as a high-alert public health emergency. This malady had thereafter spread rapidly across the globe in more than 215 countries, affecting more than 50 million people and causing the death of nearly 1.3 million as of 9th November, 2020 and resulted in a massive panic, fear, and economic crashes in most of the world. A better understanding of the disease, the virus, structural biology, clinical manifestations, risk factors, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and management can be extrapolated from the literature review of the research up to date. In addition, deliberations on animal linkages, spillover and zoonotic implications for exploring the actual origin of the disease and all possible animal-human interfaces, intermediate host; diagnosis for devising specific and sensitive tests of ease, accessibility and affordability; advances in the development of safe and effective vaccines and therapeutics for prevention and treatment; management of COVID-19 practicable in all countries; application of traditional or regularly used modalities including plant-based products and medicinal herbs against SARS-COV-2; nutritious dietary foods against this disease; and socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 can provide valuable information on these various aspects. Most of the research currently focuses on disease, development of a vaccine or therapeutic modalities. But the future mortality rate and virulence of virus not only depends on the evolution of the virus, but also on how we develop preventive measures and effective treatment as well as in advance preparedness. The present review highlights salient aspects of SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19, pathology, risk factors, transmission, diagnosis, potential treatment, and alternative / supportive therapeutic options.
