Etiology and efficacy of anti-microbial treatment for community-acquired pneumonia in adults requiring hospital admission in Ukraine.

Background And Aim: Empiric therapy of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains the standard care and guidelines are mostly based on published data from the United States or Europe. In this study, we determined the bacterial etiology of CAP and evaluated the clinical outcomes under antimicrobial treatment of CAP in Ukraine.

Methods: A total of 98 adult subjects with CAP and PORT risk II-IV were recruited for the study.

A rare case of pneumonia complicated by .

pneumonia immunocompromised the patient with subsequent complication by a rare opportunistic infection, which became a nosocomial pathogen in the healthcare setting.

Indicators of immunological and hormonal research in patients with non-hospital pneumonia-liquidators of the Chernobyl accident after treatment.

Aim: The aim of the study is to study the state of the immunological and hormonal background in patients with non-hospital pneumonia (NP) - liquidators of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (ChNPP) after treatment.

Materials And Methods: Patients with NP were divided into 2 groups of liquidators of the Chernobyl accident (main group), patients with NP who did not participate in liquidation of the Chernobyl accident (control group), which determined immunological parameters [CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD16+, CD20+ expressing cells, immunoglobulin concentrations (Ig) A, M, G] and hormonal indicators (antibodies to thyroglobulin, thyroglobulin, triiodothyronine, thyroxin, cortisol, insulin, testosterone, estradiol, estriol). The main group - liquidators of the Chernobyl accident in an immunological study of 32 NP patients, hormonal - 20; control group - respectively 37 and 38.

General comparative anatomy of human and white rat digestive systems: a bibliographic analysis.

Objective: Introduction: The gastrointestinal tract of humans has much in common with most species of laboratory animals, particularly at the level of microscopic study. White rats are widely used in the experiments to determine the influence of the environmental factors on the human. The aim: Study the general comparative anatomy of the digestive system of the human and the white rat through the bibliographic analysis of the publications.

[Iron deficiency reduces systemic inflammation in obese women].

Objective: Introduction: Iron plays an important role in the functioning of immunological monitoring due to its stimulating and differentiating effect on the immune system. Obesity is accompanied by chronic low grade inflammation and may be accompanied by a change in the concentration of iron in the blood serum. The aim of the study was to determine the level of systemic inflammation in iron deficiency anemia in patients with obesity.
