Quality of Life Assessed by the Questionnaire MOS SF-36 in Bladder Cancer Patients Depending on the Method of Surgical Treatment.

Using the Ukrainian version of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form, MOS SF-36 questionnaire for assessment of quality of life (QoL), a prospective analysis of the QoL of patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical surgery in the scope of radical cystectomy (group 1, 15 patients) and organ-preserving surgeries (bladder resection or transurethral resection, group 2, 40 patients) was conducted in the period from 2020 to 2022 at the Center for Urology and Urologic Oncology of the Feofania Clinical Hospital. The survey was conducted 1 week before radical surgery and 6 months after surgery. None of the studied patients had signs of recurrence or progression of bladder cancer during the postoperative survey.

Responsiveness and Minimal Clinically Important Difference of the Infants and Toddlers Dermatology Quality of Life Questionnaire.

Background: The Infants and Toddlers Dermatology Quality of Life (InToDermQoL) is the dermatology-specific proxy health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument for children from birth to 4 years. The aim of the present study was to confirm the responsiveness and establish minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the InToDermQoL.

Methods: Parents of children with skin diseases were asked to fill in the InToDermQoL at the initial visit (T1) and subsequent consultation (T2).

RATIONALE FOR THE APPLICATION OF CALCITONIN LEVEL IN THE EARLY POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF MEDULLARY THYROID CANCER.

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of the basal calcitonin (CTb) determination in the early postoperative period to predict the possible recurrence (persistence) of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).

Material And Methods: A retrospective study of the treatment results in 194 patients with MTC (148 (76.3%) primary - group 1 and 46 (23.

Magnetoelectric Effect in Amorphous Ferromagnetic FeCoSiB/Langatate Monolithic Heterostructure for Magnetic Field Sensing.

This paper investigates the possibilities of creating magnetic field sensors using the direct magnetoelectric (ME) effect in a monolithic heterostructure of amorphous ferromagnetic material/langatate. Layers of 1.5 μm-thick FeCoSiB amorphous ferromagnetic material were deposited on the surface of the langatate single crystal using magnetron sputtering.

PREDICTORS OF MULTIFOCAL PAPILLARY THYROID CANCER. DO THEY EXIST?

Unlabelled: The aim of this study is to analyze and identify the main predictors that may indicate multifocal growth of PTC.

Materials And Methods: The main and control groups included patients with the category of malignant multifocal process T1-3mN0Mx (n=109) and unifocal T1-T3N0Mx (n=50) respectively, who underwent thyroidectomy with lymphadenectomy.Ultrasound characteristics of the nodes, tissue changes of the thyroid gland were taken into account.
