A significant segment is represented by functional pathology in the structure of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This rather large and heterogeneous group of diseases combines the most diverse nosological units in terms of pathogenesis, the commonality of which is based on their functional nature. Based on the Rome IV criteria, the group of functional bowel disorders includes diseases such as functional constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, functional flatulence, functional diarrhea, and non-specific functional bowel disorders. At present, schoolchildren have many risk factors that contribute to the occurrence of functional disorders of the digestive tract. It includes non-compliance with the diet, long breaks between meals, abuse of fast food, hot spices, carbonated drinks, etc. Identification and modern elimination of these risk factors will prevent the development of functional disorders of the digestive system.
Understanding the functional distances of woody species in forest ecosystems is crucial for assessing their ecological elasticity and providing valuable insights for forest management practices. Functional distances reflect the ecological dissimilarity between species based on their functional traits, such as growth rates, seed dispersal mechanisms, and tolerance to environmental conditions. This study aims to evaluate the functional distances of woody species and their potential as indicators of ecological elasticity and provision for forest management. By analyzing functional trait data and species composition in different forest stands, functional distances are calculated using appropriate metrics, such as functional trait dissimilarity indices. The results provide a quantitative measure of the ecological dissimilarity between species, allowing for the identification of species that play key roles in ecosystem functioning and resilience. Additionally, the functional distances can inform forest management decisions, including species selection for reforestation, ecosystem restoration, and the promotion of biodiversity. This research contributes to the development of sustainable forest management strategies by integrating functional ecology and species trait-based approaches.
Purpose of the study. Estimate the functional status of patients using the PCFS (Post-COVID-19 Functional Status) scale.
Material and research methods. There were 281 patients under observation, with the presence of clinical manifestations of post covid-19 syndrome. As a control group (CG), 20 patients who had undergone COVID-19 and whose disease ended in full recovery were examined. The assessment of the functional status of patients after suffering COVID-19 was carried out using the PCFS method - Post-COVID-19 Functional Status (https://osf.io/qgpdv/).
Research results. In the main group of patients, the average score of the questionnaire was 13.34 ± 0.83 points. Patients who have identified a violation of their functional status at 1 point were 13 patients (4.63%), at 2 points - 90 people (32.03%), at 3 points - 117 people (41.64%), at 4 points - 61 people. (21.71%). In the control group, the patients assessed violations of their functional status at 0 points. The number of patients with extremely severe, severe and moderately severe COVID-19 was significantly higher in the main group than in the control group (30.61% versus 20%, 35.94% versus 30%, 33.45 versus 30%, respectively) In the main group of patients, the average number of background diseases was significantly higher than in the control group (p <0.05).
Conclusion. Patients with post covid syndrome have a higher score on the functional status scale (PCFS). Among the patients who scored 3 and 4 points on the PCFS test (significant limitation of daily activity due to symptoms associated with the previous infection and the need for help in self-care), there were more patients with a severe course of COVID-19 and background cardiovascular pathology and obesity.
The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the use functional food products aimed at reducing the content of table salt in the body. According to the research results, a positive trend towards an increase in the level of sodium excretion in urine was revealed in students who received functional food products made from local products rich in potassium and low in sodium, developed by us in the standard "Products of functional nutrition NUMA".
The prevalence of functional dyspepsia in children and adults in different countries varies greatly, which is associated with different diagnostic criteria, and different interpretations of the severity of symptoms. Among Europeans, functional dyspepsia occurs in 20% of individuals, in the USA – in 29%, and in Korea – in 11%. Numerous studies conducted in Western Europe and North America have shown that dyspepsia is the most common manifestation of gastroenterological pathology in older children. The study shows that the trigger mechanism for the formation of functional disorders of the digestive system in these age groups is mainly biological factors: heredity burdened by diseases of the digestive system, past intestinal infections, helminthiases, frequent use of antibiotics, nutritional deficiencies, and others. There is evidence that shows peaks in the rise in incidence in children after school entry and during adolescence.
Multimedia is a modern computer information technology that allows you to combine text, sound, video, graphics and animation (animation) in a computer system. Multimedia is the sum of technologies that allow a computer to input, process, store, transmit and display (output) data types such as text, graphics, animation, digitized still images, video, sound, speech.
96 adolescents with functional cardiopathy were inspected. All children underwent clinical, laboratory, and instrumental examination. In all patients, the initial autonomic tone was assessed using a questionnaire, and autonomic reactivity was assessed using cardiac rhythmography. It was found that dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is involved in the pathogenesis of functional cardiopathy, which determines the clinical symptoms in these patients, and autonomic disorders in the group of female adolescents are more significant than in male adolescents. Cardiorhythmography quite accurately reveals the imbalance of the body's adaptive resources for physical and mental stress, in this regard, it can be used to determine risk groups for the formation of cardiovascular pathology.
Currently, one of the actively developing directions in linguistics is language learning in a functional-stylistic aspect. Special attention is paid to the study of the use of language units in different functional styles. Publicist texts are studied according to the functional approach to linguistic analysis of newspaper texts, investigated based on semantics and form of language units, their function in text formation. In the implementation of this function, the semantics and form of the language unit are transformed into a means of generating newspaper text. Although the analysis of the application of parts of speech and their semantic groups within functional styles is particularly important in iranistics, there are no studies on this subject. The study of the newspaper-publicist style of Persian is the most important direction of modern iranistics.
