[Current issues of disability and rehabilitation of elderly and senile patients with lower limb loss due to vascular pathology.].

The majority of patients with amputation defect of the lower extremities are elderly citizens with high co- and polymorbidity, the presence of several geriatric syndromes, which adversely affects the prognosis, reduces the rehabilitation potential, in some cases leads to the development of cardiovascular complications, amputation of the second limb, severe disability and high postoperative mortality. The key link in the rehabilitation process of disabled people with a lower limb stump is to provide them with a functional prosthesis. The article provides an analysis of morbidity, primary disability in the period from 2015 to 2019, gender, age and clinical characteristics of patients living in St.

[Assessment of barriers in people with disabilities with ophthalmopathology and varying degrees of sensory impairment to substantiate the list of support services they need and social protection measures in different areas of life.].

The assessment of barriers in persons older than working age with visual impairment was carried out using the International Classification of Functioning, Disabilities and Health to substantiate the list of necessary support services. An increase in the absolute number of people in older age groups objectively leads to an increase in the number of citizens experiencing difficulties in solving medical, social and psychological problems. Analysis of the results of the study showed that a significant part of people, due to impaired visual functions, experience limitations and barriers in physical environment, emotional sphere, family relationships with close and distant relatives.

[Evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation of elderly patients with metabolic syndrome, taking into account the provisions of International classification of functioning, disability and health.].

The article contains data on rehabilitation measures in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome. Individual-oriented treatment and rehabilitation programs implemented in primary health care allow to reliably reduce the severity and risk of progression of restrictions of life, increase the independence of patients The elderly, having metabolic syndrome, complicated the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is proposed to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation, taking into account the provisions of the International Classification of functioning, restrictions on life and health and by drawing up an individual geriatric profile.

Alterations in Tear Biochemistry Associated with Postanesthetic Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome.

Perioperative dry eye syndrome (DES) is a common ocular complication of long-term general anesthesia. Chronic DES can lead to permanent damage to the cornea and disturbance of visual function, up to total loss of vision. Here, a relationship between the duration of general anesthesia and the risk of chronic DES in patients was demonstrated.

[Mechanisms of perioperative corneal abrasions: alterations in tear film proteome].

Perioperative corneal abrasion is an ophthalmic complication commonly found in patients underwent general anesthesia. In this study, correlations between development of corneal injury and proteomic changes in tear film during general anesthesia were examined using an animal (rabbit) model. Being started after 1-h anesthesia, the process of accumulation of pathological changes in the cornea unequivocally led clinically significant abrasions following 3-6 h of the narcosis.
