In order to study the activity of fecal elastase in 108 preterm infants born at gestational
age from 22 to 32 weeks, stool samples were collected at the age of 13-14 days. Pancreatic
insufficiency was found in preterm infants born at gestational age from 22 to 28 weeks by the age of
2 weeks; in premature babies with a gestational age of 28–32 weeks, the values of full-term babies
are reached in the same age period of pancreatic elastase activity.The relationship between the
gestational age of newborns and the degree of pancreatic insufficiency has been established.
Fecal elastase activity was significantly lower than in children who received breast and mixed
feeding. The necessity of early replacement therapy in such newborns to prevent exocrine
pancreatic insufficiency is substantiated.
The article presents the results of the study, including both the epidemiological aspects of the disease and the factor analysis of the main causes of unsatisfactory treatment results, according to the largest institution specialized in COVID-19 – the Republican Specialized Multidisciplinary Infectious Diseases Hospital (Zangiata No. 1) – from the opening of the medical center on July 09, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
The article presents current data on phenotypes, clinical manifestations and pain syndrome in osteoarthritis (OA). The main principles of treatment of pain syndrome in OA and dorsalgia in spondylarthrosis are outlined. The results of our own studies on the treatment of these patients with the use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (Lornado) are presented.
Any epidemic and pandemic that is a great stress or emergency leads to disruptions in the psycho-neurological system and human behavior. Psycho-emotional excitement in patients with severe Covid-19 dramatically reduces the effectiveness of non-invasive ventilation. Purpose of the study: to assess the efficacy, safety and impact on the quality of life of patients with dexmedetomidine and propofol against the background of a decrease in need for oxygen. The study included 21 patients with severe and extremely severe Covid-19. In the first group of patients with fear of death, a combination of drugs propofol + sibazone + fentanyl was used. In the second group, dexmedetomidine and promedol. Conclusions: in patients with a severe course of coronavirus infection, dexmedetomidine is more effective in reducing psycho neurological arousal and improving cognitive functions, which leads to an effective supply of oxygen and to their faster recovery.
