[Clinical and socially significant consequences of falls in elderly and senile persons (analytical review).].

Falls refers to geriatric syndromes, which is accompanied by a significant number of adverse clinically and socially consequences.

Every year, every fourth elderly and older person faces a fall, while about half of the victims seek medical help.

Falls in people over 60 years of age is usually interpreted as geriatric syndrome, which is one of the leading problems in geriatrics due to complications. In recent years, the frequency of falls has increased., Every third person faces a fall in old age, and every second person falls in the age over 85 years.

[Possibilities of estimation postural function in normal and pathological conditions: focus on age-related aspects.].

Age-associated disorders of the function of maintaining balance lead to an increase in the frequency of falls and related complications (injuries, limited mobility, decreased independence and autonomy, etc.). In addition, motor disorders of various genesis in most cases are accompanied by changes in postural function.

The Use of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Complex Treatment of Kidney Tuberculosis (Experimental Study).

In recent years, the application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been recognized as a promising method for treatment of different diseases associated with inflammation and sclerosis, which include nephrotuberculosis. The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of MSCs in the complex therapy of experimental rabbit kidney tuberculosis and to evaluate the effect of cell therapy on the reparative processes. Methods: To simulate kidney tuberculosis, a suspension of the standard strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (10 CFU) was used, which was injected into the cortical layer of the lower pole parenchyma of the left kidney under ultrasound control in rabbits.
