Benefits of Cardiac Rehabilitation in Cardio-Renal Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

Purpose: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in heart failure (HF). Chronic kidney disease often worsens the prognosis and impairs the management of patients with HF. Chronic kidney disease is frequently accompanied by sarcopenia, which limits the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR).

Impact of training on combined cardiopulmonary exercise test with stress echocardiography parameters in HFrEF patients.

Background: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is recognized to improve quality of life in heart failure patients. However, the effects on the cardiac function are understudied. The main objective was to assess the impact of a 4-week cardiac rehabilitation program on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) combined with simultaneous echocardiography parameters in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients.

COMPARISON OF PREVALENCE OF TOBACCO USE AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

Objective: The aim: The prevalence analysis of three ways of tobacco use among young adults: traditional (smoking of cigarillos or cigars) and alternative (hookah smoking and use of E-cigarettes) as well as the development of ways of tobacco smoking prevention.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Cross-section anonymous survey among young adults 18-44 years of age (n=410) has been conducted. The obtained results were compared with the data of the similar studies from different countries.

Evolution of Early Postoperative Cardiac Rehabilitation in Patients with Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.

Introduction: Surgically treated acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients are often restricted from physical exercise due to a lack of knowledge about safe blood pressure (BP) ranges. The aim of this study was to describe the evolution of early postoperative cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for patients with ATAAD.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of 73 patients with ATAAD who were referred to the CR department after surgery.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO MANAGEMENT OF PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH SKIN SYMPTOMS OF FOOD ALLERGY.

Objective: The aim: To determine the significance of multidisciplinary approach to management of pediatric patients with skin symptoms of food allergy.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study included of 36 patients aged 4 to 6 years with skin manifestations of food allergy, of which 18 were randomly included in the study group and had a multidisciplinary approach to treatment and the other 18 patients constituted a comparison group and used a standard therapy regimen. Observation of children was carried out for 3 months.

Food Hypersensitivity in Children Aged 0-3 Years of the Lviv Region in Ukraine: A Cross-Sectional Study.

To determine the prevalence and to estimate factors associated with food hypersensitivity in young children of the Lviv region in Ukraine. A prospective cross-sectional survey study was conducted between 2016 and 2017 in the Lviv region of Ukraine. A specially designed questionnaire about food hypersensitivity of young children developed and validated by M.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN SOCIAL HEALTH DETERMINANTS OF LIFE EXPECTANCY AND INFANT MORTALITY IN UKRAINE AND POLAND.

Objective: The aim: To analyze the data of social health determinants - life expectancy of population and infant mortality in neighboring countries: Ukraine and Poland in cut-away of territory habitation.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The statistical materials of the Ukrainian and Polish information sources were used in this work: SI "The center of medical statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine", The state statistics service of Ukraine, The central statistical management of Poland (Główny Urząd Statystyczny). Methods of system approach, bibliosemantic, statistical, analytical were used for analysis.

Responses to exercise training in patients with heart failure. Analysis by oxygen transport steps.

Background: Exercise training (ET) increases exercise tolerance, improves quality of life and likely the prognosis in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, some patients do not improve, whereas exercise training response is still poorly understood. Measurement of cardiac output during cardiopulmonary exercise test might allow ET response assessment according to the different steps of oxygen transport.

The significance of νо gas transmitter and nucleases in shaping the sequelae of traumatic brain injury.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injuries are at present remaining an important worldwide medical problem due to substantial percentages of incapacitation and lethality, especially among people of working age. All therapeutic interventions in TBI and their timeliness and efficacy depend on timely and quality diagnosis of patient’s condition, including laboratory parameters of blood and urine. The aim: To assess for peculiar patterns in changes of NO gas transmitter levels in patients with severe traumatic brain injury during the treatment period and to investigate into its relationship with nuclease enzymes in the context of various treatment outcomes.
