Phenomenon of self-destructive behavior in female sex workers: discriptors, predictors, typology, psychological correction.

Objective: Introduction: Engaging in sex, which is obligatory associated with the extraordinary risks of harm to their own safety and physical health, can be considered as one of the variants of self-destruction. The aim is to analyze the leading descriptors and predictors of self-destructive behavior among female sex workers, on the basis of which to propose measures for their psycho-correction.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The main group of the study was 135 women - female sex workers, a comparative group of 50 women who had no relation to such activities.

[INFLUENCE OF LIPID METABOLISM CONTROL ON THE TELOMERES RELATIVE LENGTH IN PATIENTS WITH ISOLATED HYPERTENSION AND IN COMBINATION WITH DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2].

Aim - to determine the influence of different levels of lipid metabolism on the relative blood leukocytes telomeres length (RLTL), relative buccal epithelium cells telomeres length (RBTL) in hypertensive (H) individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2T) and without DM2T. In 60 patients with H stage II (group 1), and 96 patients with H and DM2T (group 2) lipid metabolism indexes (total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)), anthropometric parameters were measured. Relative telomeres length (RTL) was determined by a real time quantitative PCR.
