[Redox status parameters in adolescent-mongoloids with exogenously constitutional obesity and fatty hepatosis].

It is assumed that in the progression of obesity, complicated by fatty hepatosis in adolescents, a significant role is given to the reactions of oxidative stress with deficiency of antioxidant factors. However, an important factor that remains outside the field of view of researchers is the ethnicity of the patient, which is an important element in the development of a personalized approach in the treatment and prevention of diseases. In connection with this, the purpose of this study was to study the changes in the lipid peroxidation-antioxidant defense processes in adolescent Mongoloids with exogenously constitutional obesity complicated by fatty hepatosis.

Positive and negative affectivity, stress, and well-being in African-Americans: Initial demonstration of a polynomial regression and response surface methodology approach.

Objective: The extent to which positive (PA) and negative (NA) affect conjointly impact well-being is not yet well understood. Additionally, research investigating the role of affectivity in maintaining well-being among ethnic and racial minorities is scant. The current research demonstrates how polynomial regression and response surface methodology (PR and RSM) may be used to better understand how PA and NA jointly influence stress and well-being.

Patient Involvement: A New Source of Stress in Health Care Work?

Patients have become increasingly well informed with higher expectations to be involved in decision-making processes regarding their care and treatment. However, few studies have examined the impact of patient involvement on health care providers' partnership-building communication. The aim of this study was to measure and explore the self-reported effects of patient involvement on the work of physicians and nurses.

[Intracardiac Thrombosis in a Child With Hereditary Thrombophilia].

A child who had undergone subclavian vein catheterization in the neonatal period was hospitalized in a grave condition at the age of 1 year 7 months with echocardiographic signs of right ventricular thrombus. Further examination revealed low level of protein C and mutations in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 genes. Basing on this observation, the authors recommend purposeful search for genetic thrombophilia in children with history of prolonged catheterization of veins and prophylactic anticoagulation therapy in case of positive result.

[The contribution of genes polymorphism of thrombophilia in clinical variability of hemorrhagic vasculitis].

Background: The article is devoted to the study of clinical and laboratory characteristics of the current of hemorrhagic vasculitis in children in the Republic of Buryatia.

Patient involvement climate: views and behaviours among registered nurses in myocardial infarction care.

Aims And Objectives: To introduce and define the patient involvement climate and measure its quality and strength via views and behaviours among nurses in coronary care units.

Background: Patient involvement is receiving increased attention among healthcare providers. To better understand and optimise the interpersonal dynamics of patient involvement, it is important to study the organisational context in which the patient-provider interaction occurs.

Organizational climate determinants of resident safety culture in nursing homes.

Purpose Of The Study: In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the role of safety culture in preventing costly adverse events, such as medication errors and falls, among nursing home residents. However, little is known regarding critical organizational determinants of a positive safety culture in nursing homes. The aim of this study was to identify organizational climate predictors of specific aspects of the staff-rated resident safety culture (RSC) in a sample of nursing homes.

[The organization of the rehabilitation of children with the after-effects of perinatal pathology of nervous system in the conditions of day-stay hospital].

The new organizational pattern of hospital-substituting technology--the day-stay hospital for the rehabilitation of the children suffering from chronic somatic diseases and after-effects of perinatal lesion of the central nervous system. This approach gives an opportunity to implement a relevant and up-to-date neuro-somatic approach using the potential of medical specialists from the pediatric polyclinic's staff The priority is given to the non-pharmaceutical techniques of rehabilitation to permitting to come about the higher results even without expensive pharmaceuticals.

[Specialized care rendered to adolescents at pediatric ambulatory polyclinic institutions].

Organization of the activities of institutions engaged in medical care of children (pediatric outpatient health centers) is discussed in connection with transfer of adolescents aged 15-17 years under the care of pediatric services. Based on the results of experimental research and practical designs, the authors discuss the obligatory preparatory measures introducing this process, pressing problems of therapeutic, prophylactic, and medicosocial care rendered to adolescents aged 10-17 years (according to WHO classification), and specific features in the activities of specialists new for these health centers, such as psychologist/medical psychologist, adolescent therapist, pediatric gynecologist, social worker, etc.

[Dynamic course of neurological syndromes in very young children with the history of intrauterine growth retardation].

90 infants with intrauterine growth retardation (IGR) and 100 normal infants (control group) were followed up from 5 days till 3 years of life. In IGR infants there was a more frequent combination of several neurologic syndromes, an early manifestation of motor disorders (from the very moment of birth), a delay of neuro-psychic development (during the first year of life), a tendency to development of moderate hydrocephalus by the age of 6 months. Autonomic-visceral disorders in them were mostly characterized by the symptoms of abaissement, but not of irritation.

[The bacterial associations in maxillofacial actinomycosis].

A variety of clinical forms of actinomycosis, difficulties of its early diagnosis and particularly of the differential diagnosis between this condition and tuberculosis, nocardiosis, aspergillosis necessitate the development of present-day methods for the early laboratory diagnosis of actinomycosis. Basing on the data on present-day methods for isolation of anaerobic and microaerobic diphtheroids, the authors characterize the bacterial associations occurring in maxillofacial actinomycosis and other odontogenic processes, discuss problems in isolation and identification of Actinomyces cultures.

[The course of the period of adaptation and readaptation at the health resort-sanatorium stage of treating children with functional changes to the cardiovascular system].

Children with cardiovascular dysfunction on sanatorium treatment underwent adaptation which proceeds without pathological shifts and depends on initial functional status of a child. Readaptation was associated with more serious alterations. Critical periods of an unfavorable course of adaptation and readaptation are described.
