[Theoretical approach «Aging-in-place» and the possibility of its popularization in Russia.].

In the article, we analyze a theoretical approach to the organization of the life of older people, which is called «aging-in-place» (in the English literature). In recent years, this approach, developed in the UK and positively received in Western Europe, has attracted some interest among Russian researchers as well. The purpose of the article is to show the connection of «aging-in-place» with other theoretical approaches, namely community care, deinstitutionalization of services and care for the older persons, and especially with the social exclusion of the elder.

Candidemia in cancer patients: features of the taxonomic structure.

The aim of the study was to determine the main Candida species isolated from blood of cancer patients, to compare the taxonomic structure of strains obtained from children and adults with candidemia. In total, during the study period, candidemia was microbiologically proven by blood culture in 81 patients (duplicates were excluded). Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) accounted for 35,8%.

Microbiological and molecular identification of the anaerobic component of the oral microbiota in patients with cancer of the oropharyngeal region.

A research objective - to study tumor tissues of primary and recurrent patients with cancer of the oropharyngeal region for the frequency of occurrence of four types of anaerobic periodontogens and their associations by two methods: real-time PCR and cultural. There is speculation that bacteria can influence the pathogenesis of cancer. A comparative assessment of the content of four anaerobic periodontogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Tannerella forsythensis, Treponema denticola) in the tumor tissue and in the healthy tissue of the oral mucosa of patients with oropharyngeal cancer was carried out.

Susceptibility testing and reporting of new antibiotics with a focus on tedizolid: an international working group report.

Inappropriate use and overuse of antibiotics are among the most important factors in resistance development, and effective antibiotic stewardship measures are needed to optimize outcomes. Selection of appropriate antimicrobials relies on accurate and timely antimicrobial susceptibility testing. However, the availability of clinical breakpoints and in vitro susceptibility testing often lags behind regulatory approval by several years for new antimicrobials.

Assessment of the routine, occupation-based gonorrhea and syphilis screening program in Moscow, Russia: an analysis of sexually transmitted infection prevalence and cost-effectiveness.

Objectives: In the Russian Federation, large sectors of the population regularly undergo mandatory occupational screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Objectives of our study were to determine the prevalence of syphilis and gonorrhea in the screened occupational groups in Moscow and to conduct a cost-effectiveness evaluation of the occupational screening program.

Study Design: Serum samples from 4 main occupational groups (food handlers and other food industry workers, market salespersons, education and health care providers, and hotel and other public utility workers) were tested for syphilis and gonorrhea.

[Prophylaxis of wound infection in patients with head and neck tumors with an account of the pathogen taxonomic pattern].

The most important problem of onkology, i. e. antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative infectious complications is touched upon in the paper.

[Antibiotic prophylaxis with amoxicillin/clavulinate (Augmentin) in extended and combined operations in gynecologic cancer patients].

Frequency of postoperation complications at oncological patients deviates in the range from 10 to 70 per cent. The highest frequency of infectious complications is registered after extended and complex operations (cervical carcinoma, cancer of vulva, ovarian cancer). The most frequent aerobic pathogens in oncology are enterococci, staphylococci and streptococci, in the case of urinary tract operations--enterococci and Erscherichia coli.

["Augmentin" in the antibiotic prevention of postoperative infections complications in gynecological cancer patients].

Hysterectomies are arbitrarily pure operations and thus require antibiotic prevention. A great risk for postoperative infections is particularly high after Wertheim's operation. This study evaluated the efficiency of infection prevention in 19 cancer gynecological patients by using the antibiotic augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid).

[A trial of the use of mupirocin in the nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in medical personnel].

Many hospital-acquired purulent diseases and wound infections are due to multiresistant hospital strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The role of S. aureus nasal carriage in development of wound infections due to autoinfection is confirmed.

[The microbiological aspects of infectious complications in the oncology clinic].

At present 10 to 30 per cent of the microbial strains from cancer patients are problem ones: oxacillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase negative strains of Staphylococcus spp., aminoglycoside resistant strains of Escherichia coli, 3rd generation cephalosporin resistant strains of Klebsiella spp. and fungi of Candida which requires development of more rational approaches to antibacterial chemotherapy and prophylaxis of infectious complications.

[Fungal infection in the oncologic clinic].

Fungal infection in oncologic hospitals is a serious threat for the patients that can undermine the results of the specific treatment of the main disease. Most frequently fungal infection is developing in localities naturally disseminated with microbial flora. The infection is usually mixed: bacterial/fungal and even fungal/fungal.

[Imipenem-cilastatin in the treatment of suppurative inflammatory complications in the cancer clinic].

The results of the treatment with imipenem/cylastatin (Merck, Sharp and Dohme) of 46 oncological patients whose condition was severe or extremely severe because of infectious complications are presented. The drug was administered intravenously drop-like in doses of 1.5 or 2 g a day.

[A trial of the use of diflucan (fluconazole) in patients with vaginal candidiasis].

Fifty females with vaginitis due to Candida albicans were treated with fluconazol (diflucan) in a single dose of 150 mg administered per os. A complete elimination of the clinical signs in 42 out of 50 patients (84 per cent) and a significant improvement of the clinical picture in 4 out of 50 patients (8 per cent) were recorded. The cultures of the smears produced no fungal growth with respect to 31 out of 36 patients (86.

[The use of clindamycin and netilmicin for preventing postoperative wound infection in patients with cancer of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts].

Clindamycin (2.7 g/day) and netilmicin (5.6 mg/kg) were used for 6-10 days in 27 patients with laryngeal and oral cancer versus beta-lactam antibiotics and aminoglycosides received by 56 matched patients to prevent infection of the operative wound.

[Cefoperazone in combination with metronidazole in the prevention of postoperative infectious complications in patients with genital neoplasms].

Cefoperazone and metronidazole were used for the prevention of postoperative infectious complications in 33 patients (Group 1) with cervical cancer who had undergone the Wertheim operation. 29 patients (Group 2) were treated prophylactically with carbenicillin in the routine doses. Postoperative urinary infections developed in 12.
