Military conflicts, terrorist attacks and wars around the world pose a wide range of questions to the medical community about providing medical care to military personnel and civilians with mine-explosive trauma, which is characterized by simultaneous damage of various anatomical areas, including the maxillofacial region. The purpose of this work was to describe a case from practice of treating a patient with a mine-explosive trauma, which manifested by a fracture of the right zygomatic-orbital complex and the upper jaw on the right. Using own case from practice, the authors showed that the treatment of patients with mine-explosive trauma of the maxillofacial region is long-term, multi-stage and should take place in a specialized hospital with the involvement of a team of multidisciplinary specialists.

Currently, the efficacy of drug therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD leaves much to be desired, making nutraceutical support a promising avenue for treatment. Recent research has identified the protective effects of resveratrol in PTSD. Here, we tested the behavioral and neurobiological effects of combining cheese consumption with resveratrol supplements in an experimental PTSD model.

Glucocorticoids are metabolized by the CYP3A isoform of cytochrome P450 and by 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD-1). Experimental data suggest that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with an increase in hepatic 11β-HSD-1 activity and a concomitant decrease in hepatic CYP3A activity. -resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, has been extensively studied for its antipsychiatric properties.

For medicine and pharmaceuticals, the problem of determining and recognizing the enantiomers of biologically active compounds is an actual issue because the enantiomers of the same substance can have different effects on living organisms. This paper describes the development of an enantioselective voltammetric sensor (EVS) based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with mesoporous graphitized carbon black Carbopack X (CpX) and a fulvene derivative (1S,4R)-2-cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-ylidene-1-isopropyl-4-methylcyclohexane (CpIPMC) for recognition and determination of tryptophan (Trp) enantiomers. Synthesized CpIPMC was characterized by H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), chromatography-mass spectrometry, and polarimetry.

The use of chiral modifiers is among the simplest and most popular strategies for synthesizing enantioselective voltammetric sensors that are applied for the analysis and discrimination of enantiomerical drugs in various media. The type and structure of the chiral modifier are the key factors for the creation of enantioselectivity to a specified analyte. We suggest a novel approach to the prediction of the quality of a chiral modifier for preparing highly enantioselective sensors.
