Introduction: Taking into account the influence of the psycho-emotional sphere and its disorders on the pathogenetic mechanisms of rosacea, a comparative assessment of the clinical efficacy of a standard therapy and the complex therapy using Cortexin in papulopustular rosacea patients with moderate severity and concomitant neurological pathology was performed. The therapy influence on changes in the patients’ psycho-emotional state was also studied. Materials and methods: The study involved 216 papulopustular rosacea outpatients with moderate severity with a concomitant neurological pathology, aged 20 to 60 years. The patients were divided into 2 groups: 109 people (37 men and 72 women) in the study group, and 107 people (37 men and 70 women) in the control. All the patients received a treatment according to the ”Standard of Medical Care for Patients with Rosacea” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The study group patients additionally received Cortexin. The study was carried out using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Results and discussion: The patients showed an increase in somatic manifestations of anxiety, levels of trait and state anxiety, and neuroticism initially before the start of treatment. The inclusion of Cortexin in the rosacea treatment reduced the somatic manifestations of anxiety more effectively than standard therapy against the background of a more considerable decrease in proportion of patients with its moderate and high levels. The severity of trait and stateanxiety, neuroticism was also significantly lower against the background of the Cortexin use than with the standard treatment. Conclusion: The Cortexin inclusion in the rosacea pharmacotherapy against the background of a concomitant neurological pathology contributes to a more pronounced correction of psychophysiological parameters, reflecting the neuroticism levels, trait and state anxiety, and somatic manifestations of anxiety, compared to standard treatment.

Results of comparative assessment of level of antibodies of IgG to SARS-CoV-2 in dynamics at standard and complex methods of treatment with use of medicinal peptide medicine of a timus of a timalin for patients with COVID-19 are presented in article. It was found that as a result of standard treatment, patients showed a decrease in antibody levels by 53% after 104 days. The addition of thymalin to standard therapy slowed down the decline of this indicator. So, a similar indicator in patients who took thymalin was only 21%. This contributed to maintaining strained adaptive immunity. The detected immunomodulatory properties of the preparation of thymalin with respect to COVID-19 can be reflected both in the formation of an effective immune layer of the population through natural immunization, and in the process of antibody formation during vaccination of target contingents.

Goal of research - the study aims to examine the osteopathic profi le of children with dysarthria and to develop recommendations for osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions in 2-3 year old children presenting this pathology.Materials and methods. 30 2-3 year old children with the symptoms of dysarthria took part in the research. All the children were divided into 2 groups: the control group of 15 children received standard treatment, and the experimental group of 15 children received both standard and osteopathic treatment. The dysarthria severity and the osteopathic profi le were evaluated with account of the number of somatic dysfunctions at global, regional, and local levels.Results. The osteopathic correction was shown to have a positive effect on dysarthria severity. The study established a correlation between the dysarthria severity in children and the number of somatic dysfunctions at the local level.Conclusion. The study suggests using osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions in the complex therapy of dysarthria in children.

Experimental Group

This study aims to investigate whether simple and convenient progressive relaxation training (PRT) is effective in enhancing collegiate student athletes’ mental health and sports performance. An experimental group of 14 (6 female) and a control group of 10 (5 female) collegiate student athletes were recruited from among track and field athletes who were preparing for provincial competition. The experimental group was exposed to a PRT intervention in 30-min sessions conducted twice per week for a duration of one month. At baseline, the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale for Chinese (EPQ-RSC) were completed, while only the CSAI-2 was reassessed at one, two, and three weeks after initiation of the intervention. Additionally, within half a day after completing all one’s individual competition events, the CSAI-2 was again assessed in the two groups recalling their memory of their precompetition state anxiety. Then, the differences in the three dimensions of the CSAI-2 between the two groups at the five time points introduced above were compared. This study also explored whether PRT affected sports performance, defined by the athletes reaching their best records or not, by logistic regressive analysis. This study found significant between-group differences in the self-confidence dimension score at the second and third time points. Through logistic regression analysis, a positive effect of PRT was found for the enhancement of sports performance. In sum, PRT showed positive effects on precompetition state self-confidence and enhanced sports performance among collegiate student athletes.

33 subjects were tested on competitive trait and state anxiety immediately before and after a competitive motor task of short duration (average performance time of 25 seconds). It required precise coordination of correct muscular activity, timing as well as speed, and physical strength that included explosive shifts in direction of movement. Two types of performance measures were employed, (a) number of errors during the performance and (b) the time it took to complete the motor task. Analysis showed a positive relation between trait anxiety and performance errors when a linear model was applied; however, when a curvilinear model was used, a strong significant U-relationship between errors and precompetition state anxiety emerged. Further, a strong positive linear relation between poststate anxiety and number of performance errors was observed. The results indicate that making errors in performance situations is a critical factor in producing postcompetition state anxiety.
