Objective: The aim: To analyze the medical and economic aspects of the manual and different types of automatic plasmapheresis (manual, automatic centrifugal, automatic membrane, plasmapheresis with plasma therapy and mixed) used for therapeutic purposes.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The Baxter Auto-C, Haemonetics PCS2, Haemophenics, Baxter CPDA anticoagulant and saline, Baxter 16GA needles were used. Total protein was examined by the biuret method, hemoglobin by the Sally method, total bilirubin by the colorimetric photometric method, cell fragments by the Goryaev camera microscopy method; patient comfort - with a 10-point scale.
Objective: The aim: To identify the main fears of donation among young people in the city and ways to eliminate these phobias with the help of modern marketing tools.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: It was conducted the questionnaire among Sumy State University students on donation fears. The questionnaire included questions about experience of donation, reason for non donation and age.
Objective: The aim: To determine the pathogenetic expediency, efficiency and the place of therapeutic plasmapheresis in a complex treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis.

Susceptibility to 18 antimicrobials was determined by agar dilution in accordance with the NCCLS recommendations. The most potent antimicrobials were glycopeptides, linezolid, and fusidic acid, to which no resistance was found.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMechanical stimulation of bone tissue determined by earth gravity is one of the main factors mediating the nature, rate and direction of functional adaptation of the bone system in the process of onto- and phylogenesis. Theoretically expected losses of bone mass under condition of mechanical load deficit under microgravity (osteopenia, osteoporosis) may become a factor that limits the duration of space flights. As a result of long-term studies some properties and regularities of change in human tissue after prolonged space flights (for 5-7 months) were established.
