Проведен анализ состояния периферического кровообращения у 28 мужчин, больных остеохондрозом поясничного отдела позвоночника, сопровождающегося люмбалгией с клинической симптоматикой нарушения периферического кровообращения нижних конечностей. Все больные, принимавшие участие в нашем исследовании, подписали информированное согласие на участие в программе и соглашение о неразглашении личных данных и протокола исследований. Критериями для анализа являлись изменения клинической симптоматики остеохондроза поясничного отдела позвоночника, обусловленной им люмбалгии и показателей оксиметрического исследования, которые были зафиксированы при первичном обращении и через 7 суток на фоне проводимого лечения и регрессии болевого синдрома. Таким образом, полученные результаты свидетельствовали о рефлекторном нарушении периферического кровообращения за счет развития патологического спинально-вазального тормозного рефлекса, обусловленного люмбалгией, которые восстанавливаются на фоне регрессии патологической импульсации в поясничном отделе позвоночника. Целесообразно продолжить исследования в этом направлении. The state of peripheral circulation in 28 men were analyzed, patients with osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, accompanied by lumbodynia with clinical symptoms of impaired peripheral circulation of the lower extremities was carried out. All patients who took part in our study signed an informed consent to participate in the program and a non-disclosure agreement of personal data and research protocol. The criteria for the analysis were clinical symptoms of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine caused by lumbodynia and indicators of oximetry studies, which were recorded during the initial visit and after 7 days amid treatment and regression of pain syndrome. Thus, the results indicated a reflex disorder of the peripheral circulation due to the development of a pathological spinal-vasal inhibitory reflex caused by lumbodynia, which is restored amid regression of pathological impulses in the lumbar spine. It is advisable to continue research in this direction.

Проведен анализ особенностей развития болевого синдрома в нижних отделах спины, в проекции поясничного отдела позвоночника на фоне неспецифических воспалительных заболеваний придатков матки (НВЗПМ) у 148 женщин, находившихся на амбулаторном лечении в гинекологическом отделении поликлиники №5 г. Алматы в 2019-2020 г.г. Установлено, что у 79 (53,4±4,1%) из них отмечался болевой синдром в нижней части спины и сопутствующие ему скованность и ограничение подвижности поясничного отдела позвоночника на фоне обострения НВЗПМ.Критериями для анализа являлись динамика клинической симптоматики НВЗПМ и болевого синдрома с учетом его локализации на фоне проводимого лечения. При этом было проведено сравнение результатов, зафиксированных при поступлении и через 14 суток после начала лечения НВЗПМ. Перспективным представляется продолжить исследования и оценить влияние спинально-генитального рефлекса на течение первичного патологического очага в придатках матки. The development of the features of pain syndrome in the lower back, in the projection of the lumbar spine amid nonspecific inflammatory diseases of the uterine appendages (NIDUA) in 148 women who were on outpatient treatment in the gynecological department of polyclinic # 5 in Almaty in 2019-2020 were analized. It was found that 79 (53.4 ± 4.1%) of them had pain in the lower back and concomitant stiffness and limitation of the mobility of the lumbar spine amid exacerbation of NIDUA. The analysis criteria were the dynamics of the clinical symptomatology of NIDUA and pain syndrome, taking into account its localization amid treatment. At the same time, a comparison was made between the results recorded at admission and 14 days after the start of the NIDUA treatment. It seems promising to continue research and assess the impact of the spinal-genital reflex on the course of the primary pathological focus in the uterine appendages.

Abstract One of the diseases that is quite common in modern rheumatology and leads to dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system and creates a major medical and social problem, is gonarthrosis. The incidence of degenerative-dystrophic diseases in HA in women is two to four times higher than in men. In order to establish the patterns of clinical manifestations of GA in women with hypertension (GC) and overweight (HB) of the body, on the basis of the rheumatology department of the city KNP «City Hospital №10» ZMR (Zaporozhye), with informed consent, was prospectively examined 198 women for the period 2018–2020. According to the results of the study, a significant (p <0.05) deterioration of clinical symptoms in women with a combined course of HA with GC and HB, relative to the isolated course of HA, on the indicators: pain during active and passive movements and palpation, stiffness, crepitation and swelling of the joints. The correlations between clinical manifestations of HA, arthrosonographic data and BMI have been established. The characteristics of the pain syndrome associated with exercise, impaired mobility and functionality of the joints significantly increased with increasing stage of GA, joining comorbid pathology and increased BMI.  Keywords: gonarthrosціis, comorbidity, hypertension, overweight.

One of the non-invasive methods for treating discoloration of hard tooth tissues is teeth whitening. The aim of this work is to assess the dynamics of changes in the acid resistance of enamel and hard tissues of teeth and the rate of its remineralization after the procedure of office teeth whitening. The study involved 123 patients aged 18 to 35 years with discoloration of various origins, with the color of hard tooth tissues on the Vita Classic A2 scale and darker. Before performing the office, teeth whitening procedure, all patients gave their written voluntary informed consent to participate in this study, as well as consent to the processing of personal data. Depending on the chosen method of office teeth whitening, patients were divided into 3 groups. The resistance of hard tooth tissues was judged based on the determination of TOER and CASRE tests. These indicators were determined at various times (5 days before the office teeth whitening procedure, 5 days after it, after 14, 30 days and 6 months). Regardless of the chosen whitening system, the office teeth whitening procedure is accompanied by a decrease in the enamel's resistance to acids and a decrease in the rate of its remineralization. The remineralizing function of oral fluid promotes the positive dynamics of the studied parameters after 14 days and after 30 days values increased due to the appointment of remineralizing therapy to all patients in 2 weeks after the teeth whitening procedure. After 6 months, all patients had high enamel resistance and the rate of its remineralization.

Results of randomized prospective study with participation of 94 patients aged from 20 to 70 years with monosegmental lumbar spine lesions are presented. Minimum invasive surgical interventions were performed in 55 patients from the main group. Control group consisted of 39 patients in whom decompressive-stabilizing operations via conventional posteromedian approach with skeletization of posterior segments of vertebral column were performed. Average size of operative wound in open interventions more than 10 times exceeded that size in minimum invasive interventions and made up 484 ± 56 and 36 ± 12 sq.cm, respectively. Mean blood loss was 326.6 ± 278.0 ml in the main group and 855.1 ± 512.0 ml in the comparative one. In the main group no one patient required substitution hemotransfusion, while in 13 patients from the comparative group donor erythrocytic mass and/or fresh-frozen plasma were used to eliminate the deficit of blood components. Intensity of pain syndrome in the zone of surgical intervention by visual analog scale in the main group was lower than in comparative group. In the main and comparative groups the duration of hospitalization made up 6.1 ± 2.7 and 9.7 ± 3.7 bed days, respectively. In no one patient from the main group complications in the zone of operative wound were noted. Three patients from the comparative group required secondary debridement and in 1 patient early deep operative wound suppuration was observed. Application of low invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of patients with degenerative lumbar spine lesions enabled to perform radical surgical treatment with minimal iatrogenic injury. The method possessed indubitable advantages over the conventional open operations especially intraoperatively and in early postoperative period.

AbstractUrothelial dysfunction may be a key pathomechanism underlying interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). We therefore examined if clinical severity is associated with the extent of urothelial damage as revealed by electron microscopic (EM) analysis of biopsy tissue. One hundred IC/BPS patients were enrolled and 24 patients with stress urinary incontinence served as controls. Clinical symptoms were evaluated by visual analog scale pain score and O’Leary-Sant Symptom score. Bladder biopsies were obtained following cystoscopic hydrodistention. The presence of Hunner’s lesions and glomerulation grade after hydrodistention were recorded and patients classified as Hunner-type IC (HIC) or non-Hunner-type IC (NHIC). HIC patients exhibited more severe defects in urothelium cell layers, including greater loss of umbrella cells, umbrella cell surface uroplakin plaque, and tight junctions between adjacent umbrella cells, compared to control and NHIC groups (all p < 0.05). Both NHIC and HIC groups demonstrated more severe lamina propria inflammatory cell infiltration than controls (p = 0.011, p < 0.001, respectively). O’Leary-Sant Symptom scores were significantly higher among patients with more severe urothelial defects (p = 0.030). Thus, urothelium cell layer defects on EM are associated with greater clinical symptom severity.

Introduction. COVID-19 infection raises many questions regarding the health condition of patients after they have had COVID-19. The aim of this study is to examine the characteristic symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency in the postcovid period.Materials and methods. The materials that were used for work included the results of studying the medical aid appealability, characteristic symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency in persons who have had the coronavirus infection. 47 patients presented with complaints about deterioration of their condition after they had had COVID-19 over March to September 2021 period. Methods: general clinical examiniation, ultrasound angioscanning of veins of the lower extremities, laboratory coagulation tests.Results and discussion. Before deterioration, calf circumference was measured 22–24 cm at a typical measurement site in most patients (89%), after covid infection it reached 26–27 cm. Varicose veins remained soft, without intravascular formations, edema was often bilateral, asymmetric, pain was described as constant (5–6 VAS scores), patients had prominent signs of lymphostasis. 35 out of 47 people received diosmin-based venotonic drug of Russian manufacture at a dose of 1000 mg/day (one tablet twice a day), the course of treatment lasted one to two months. After that period, the edema subsided in 85% of patients, the severity of pain syndrome significantly reduced (up to 2–3 VAS scores). With regard to chronic venous insufficiency in patients with chronic diseases of lower extremity veins (mostly varicose and post-thrombotic diseases), the significant progress of disease was observed in almost 94% of follow-up cases. Diosmin is the main drug that is prescribed to treat chronic venous insufficiency. The drug has an angioprotective and venotonic effect, reduces the vein wall elasticity, increases venous tone, and decreases venous stasis, reduces capillary permeability and fragility, and increases their resistance, improves microcirculation and lymphatic drainage.Сonclusions. In the postcovid period, clinical symptoms of some chronic diseases occur/worsen, including clinical manifestations of chronic venous insufficiency. The use of Russian diosmin-based drug for the management of edema and pain syndrome is very promising.

Lumbopelvic pain associated with pregnancy may originate from the lumbar spine, the pelvic girdle or may be mixed. According to European guidelines, individual subtypes of pain require different procedures, for which a detailed differential diagnosis is necessary. These ailments arouse a lot of controversy. The aim of the work was to present the current state of knowledge on the aforementioned ailments, including European guidelines and the latest trends in foreign literature. The diagnosis of lumbopelvic pain, with particular emphasis on the pathophysiology and methods of differentiation of both pain syndromes, was discussed. Lumbar spine pain is mainly related to the mechanical load caused by a pregnant uterus. In the case of pelvic girdle pain, the main cause is the disorder of optimal stability, which depends on the correct mechanisms of force and form closure. Pelvic girdle pain is characterized by other clinical symptoms and risk factors, it also often remains after pregnancy, having negative impact on the daily functioning of a woman even years after giving birth. Depending on the location (one or both sacroiliac joints, pubic symphysis), several types of this pain syndrome are distinguished. The worst prognosis is pelvic pain associated with the involvement of all three joints at the same time. Until now, this term has not been more widely used in the Polish-language literature. The complexity of chronic pain syndromes, in which the discomforts of the pregnancy period may develop, entails the necessity of early identifi cation and deliberate action. Knowledge of the etiopathogenesis of these ailments is a prerequisite for therapeutic success. Introduction of terminology popular in foreign literature will improve treatment of these diseases, adapting it to current standards and will also enable better exchange of experience between professionals. pelvic girdle pain, lumbar pain, pregnancy

The news media are presently filled with headline stories concerning the security of electronic communications and the internet. The Financial Times’ weekend supplement FT Money devoted three pages under the title ‘Hack attack’ and asked whether companies are doing enough to protect data online. 1 Substitute dental practices for companies and we have an unhappy picture of the reasons why so much sensitive personal data is going missing or being accessed without properly informed consent.

Background: Although there are several studies of systemic corticosteroid therapies in various doses and various durations in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), the outcome measurement parameters are limited to the range of motion measurements, edema, and symptoms of CRPS. Objective: To investigate the effects of prednisolone on clinical symptoms, pain, hand grip strength, range of motion, as well as on functional ability and quality of life in patients who developed CRPS after traumatic upper extremity injury. Study Design: Retrospective evaluation. Methods: Forty-five patients who used prednisolone for CRPS of the upper extremity were retrospectively studied. Prednisolone was started with a dose of 30 mg and tapered by 5 mg every 3 days until discontinuation after 3 weeks. Clinical symptoms (morning stiffness, cold intolerance, shoulder pain, numbness of fingers, hyperesthesia, abnormal sweating, and cyanosis that is exacerbated by exposure to cold temperature), pain (Visual Analogue Scale-Rest [VAS-R] and VASActivity [VAS-A]) were reviewed. The muscle strength with grip strength (GS) (kg), lateral pinch (LP) (pound), tip-to-tip pinch (TP) (pound), and chuck pinch (CP) (pound) measurements; the joint range of motion with using third finger tip-distal crease distance (FT-DC) (cm); functional ability with Quick-Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Q-DASH) score; and quality of life with Short Form-36 (SF-36) score were evaluated. Results: Mean age was 43.53 ± 11.43 years. After 3 weeks of therapy, patients showed significant improvements in clinical symptoms compared to the basal assessments (P < 0.05). The comparison of pre- and post-treatment results revealed that VAS-R, VAS-A, GS, LP, TP, CP, FT-DC, Q-DASH scores, and all SF-36 subscores were significantly improved (P < 0.05). Limitations: The retrospective design and data collection procedure was limited to the medical records of patients. Conclusion: A short-term oral prednisolone therapy significantly reduced the symptoms and signs of CRPS, and improved the functional abilities and quality of life. Key words: Complex regional pain syndrome, prednisolone, function, quality of life
