The purpose of the was to compare the antibiotic resistance of the oropharyngeal normoflora in children with frequent Viral respiratory infections (VRIs). Investigated were 33 children in 2016 and 33 children in 2021 who were treated in the Infectious Diseases Department of the Ternopil Regional (Ukraine) Children's Clinical Hospital. The obtained material from the oropharynx from the examined contingent was studied by a generally accepted microbiological method.

Chronic and recurrent tonsillitis associated with tonsillitis recurrence, which can greatly affect the quality of life of the patient. Among the causes of chronic infection and resistance to antibiotic treatment are the formation of biofilms in the respiratory tract in respiratory infections. The purpose of the study is to identify the ability to biofilm strains of streptococci on the surface of the epithelial tissue of the oropharynx isolated from patients with recurrent tonsillitis.

Objective: The aim is to identify mRNA expression of innate (TLR2 and TLR4) and adaptive (IL1 β, IL17A, FoxP3, Tbet, Roryt) immunity in maternal-fetal interface and evaluate the contribution of SNP genes of IL1β (rs1143627), TNFα (rs1800629), IL4 (rs2243250), IL10 (rs1800896, rs1800872) and RLN2 (rs4742076, rs3758239) to PTB, associated with PPROM in 26-34 weeks of gestation.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We had done open cohort randomized research during period 2016-2018 years. The case group consisted of 50 women with PPROM in preterm pregnancy, 26-34 weeks of gestation.

Background: Most US studies of mortality and air pollution have been conducted on largely non-Hispanic white study populations. However, many health and mortality outcomes differ by race and ethnicity, and non-Hispanic white persons experience lower air pollution exposure than those who are non-Hispanic black or Hispanic. This study examines whether associations between air pollution and heart disease mortality differ by race/ethnicity.
