Objective: Aim: To analyze the mechanisms of regulation of the body's proteolytic systems during inflammation, detection of inflammation markers in blood and prostate secretions in the experimental benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 30 male rats on the model of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Rats were randomized as following: the 1st group (n=6) - intact animals; the 2nd group (n=24) - rats with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Since the destructive and illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, caring for the victims of war trauma has been an essential function of Ukrainian clinicians [ 1, 2]. The authors present a case where using novel dynamic digital thermography (DDT), combined with international telemedicine support, contributed to saving the lower limb of an injured Ukrainian soldier. A male soldier in his 30s presented with a 'through and through' fragmentation wound to the right thigh from an artillery shell exploding nearby.

Background: A gunshot wound to the colon is a frequent injury in armed conflicts. An example of a high-energy modern weapon is hollow-point bullets, which is associated with increased tissue damage and lethal outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate gunshot injuries to the colon in combat patients and to assess the difference in clinical features of patients with colon injuries by hollow-point versus shape-stable bullets.

Presentation Of Case: A 33-years old male patient received gunshot injuries to the left axillary area of the chest and left upper extremity in the battlefield area near Kyiv (Ukraine).
Objective: The aim: Research of the ways of adequate solving of problems with understuffed healthcare system and problems with continuous professional development of doctors.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We have used a official statistical data for the period from 2009-2020 years. This data was analyzed with usage of systemic approach and statistical epidemiological analysis.
Introduction: The incidence of vascular damage in modern combat conflicts is 5 times higher than in previous military conflicts, with one in five wounded having uncontrolled severe blood loss. Treatment of gunshot wounds of the main arteries is a complex multi-level process, which can be done only in the case of close cooperation of related surgical specialties.
