The article discusses the surgical treatment of ingrown nail in patients with recurrent disease. The advantages of a new method of operation have been explained in the article. It gives a detailed description of the operation. The clinical and additional methods of research have confirmed the fact that a new operation reduces the wound healing period and the number of ingrown nail recurrences

The analysis of elderly people attitude to alternative practices of health maintenance in the context of activity prolongation is presented. By the example of conducted sociological research it is demonstrated that besides medication, health resources maintenance includes the following relevant methods: physical exercises and fitness; quit pernicious habits; rational nutrition; sexual activity

The research goal is to determine the effectiveness of prosthetic treatment of adult patients with mesial occlusion in combination with defects of dentition in lateral parts. Materials: The object of study is based on 20 patients aged 20-59 years suffered from the considered disease. Results: As a result of clinical and laboratory studies functional impairment of temporal and mandibular joints and masticatory muscles has been revealed, both before and after prosthetic treatment. Conclusion: Prosthetic replacement contributes to replacement of defects of dentition. It has been noted that the restoration of optimum function of masticatory apparatus requires the preparatory phase of rehabilitation aimed at restoring the function loss

Research is devoted to assessing the state of the middle ear structures by usage of modern nanotechnology methods. The history of the problem, various ancient and modern methods for studying the mobility of the middle ear structures have been described. The results of the research of eardrum movements by laser autodyne and their value in differential diagnosis of ear diseases have been presented. The research goal is to assess vibrations of middle ear structures by modern nanotechnological techniques. Materials: The study included 207 persons, divided into groups of healthy individuals and patients with sensorineural deafness, otosclerosis, adhesive otitis and tubootitis. Results: Exact frequency response vibration patterns of the middle ear and tympanic membrane have been obtained. Measurements have been made in open sound field in normal ears and ears with various pathology of middle and inner ear. The value of this method in differential diagnosis of ear diseases has been investigated. Conclusion: The use of laser autodyne for measuring middle ear structures vibration is a perspective and objective method of assessing auditory function. It is very necessary in modern otolaryngology for differential diagnosis of hearing pathology

The research goal is to examine the interrelation of cytokines level (INF-y, TNF-a, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10) and concentration of microelements in blood of patients with hemorrhagic fever accompanied by renal syndrome. 292 patients aged 18-59 years have been examined.Enzyme immunodetection has been carried out by using reagents from «Vector-Best» (Novosibirsk). The content of microelements in blood plasma has been estimated by mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS; Elan-9000, PerkinElmer, USA) and atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES; Optima-2000 DV, PerkinElmer, USA). A direct correlation between zinc, selenium, the level of IL-2 and lead, aluminum, the level of TNF-a has been found out. The negative correlation between aluminum concentration and the level of IF-y has been determined

Process of development of the most important forms of pathology of the digestive organs among people of different ages has been analyzed in a large industrial center for sixteen years. The age groups liable to gastroenterological pathology have been identified under conditions of social stress

Objective: Morphological changes of internal organs and brain of laboratory animals have been studied at prolonged oral administration of iron nanoparticles in experiments. Materials and methods: Iron nanoparticles 70±10 nm, 28 male white rats, and morphological methods of evaluation have been used in the experiment. Results: Studies have shown that the changes depend on nanoparticle concentration and signs of circulatory disorders and degenerative changes of parenchymatous elements

The article is concerned with observation of a child of 3,5 with hereditary Krista — Seimens — Turena syndrome. The clinical description of the syndrome and modern approaches to treatment have been analyzed

Анализируется практика использования показателей экспертизы объемов и качества оказания медицинской помощи при проведении вневедомственного экспертного контроля. Эти показатели могут быть использованы для формирования территориальной модели вневедомственного экспертного контроля в лечебно-профилактических учреждениях Саратовской области с учетом особенности структуры заболеваемости, сети медицинских организаций, территориальной специфики

90 patients with upper extremity fractures took part in the study. The injured patients were treated with rod and pin-and-rod type external fixation devices and by means of external immobilization. It was demonstrated that quality of life to the moment of device removal was 8-9 points higher in patients treated with pin type external fixation in comparison with pin-and-rod type. Quality of life was higher in patients with proximal upper extremity injuries
