EFFECT OF URBANIZATION ON DENSITY OF THE GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY AND MORTALITY FROM THE DISEASES OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM.

Objective: The aim: Comparative analysis of average life expectancy, mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, gross regional product, and density of general practitioners in regions with different levels of urbanization.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We compared the following characteristics of groups classified by level of urbanization: average density of general practitioners per 10,000, average life expectancy and mortality from diseases of the circulatory system per 1,000, average gross regional product per 1 person.

Results: Results: The groups did not differ in average life expectancy.

MicroRNA let-7: A promising non-invasive biomarker for diagnosing and treating external genital endometriosis.

Objective: To evaluate the possibility of using microrna let-7 and mir-9 as non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of external genital endometriosis.

Materials And Methods: We explored the samples of relatively healthy individuals and patients with endometriosis. All patients had undergone laparoscopic surgical treatment after clinical and laboratory examinations.

The reporting of the mode of transmission among HIV-positive men who have sex with men in Lviv oblast, Ukraine, 2014-2018.

Introduction: Men who have sex with men (MSM) are one of the key populations driving HIV/AIDS epidemic globally. To date, MSM is the only population in Ukraine where the prevalence and incidence of HIV is increasing. As HIV-positive MSM might feel uncomfortable to report homosexual intercourses as a possible mode of transmission (MoT) of HIV, they prefer being registered as patients with heterosexual or non-defined MoT.

Etiology of acute pyelonephritis: species composition and populational levels of urine microflora.

Acute urinary tract infection is considered to be a growing burden in both medical and socio-economic terms. The exact etiologic structure of acute pyelonephritis pathogens, their role and interference is unclear. Thus, we aimed on revealing the species composition and populational levels of microorganisms causing acute inflammation of kidney and perirenal tissues.

[Comparative characteristics of hemostasis parameters and peripheral vascular regulation and hemodynamics in patients with Willebrand's disease and hematogenic thrombophilia].

This article presents data regarding features of formation of hypocoagulation and hypercoagulation in patients with von Willebrand's disease and thrombophilia. It was shown that in case of Willebrand's disease the changes of hemodynamics and vasoregulation are of "compensatory" nature and aimed at maintaining hemostatic balance. Disorders of interaction between haemostasis and hemodynamics is observed at hematogenic thrombophilia, which leads to the progression of endothelial dysfunction and contributes to formation sustainable thrombophilic state.
