Aim: To study epidemiological characteristics of cryptosporidosis (CS) in conditions of arid climate which contributes to suppression of the immune status of the organism.
Material And Methods: 1935 patients were treated for acute intestinal infection with watery diarrhea in Ashkhabad hospital in 1994-1999. Monocryptosporidiosis was diagnosed in 511 of them. Also, 46 mothers of CS children and 32 foci of the infection were examined. Cryptosporidial oocysts in the feces were detected by the Fulleborn's method. The preparations were stained by Ziehl-Neelsen.
Results: CS incidence in Turkmenistan was high, especially in children aged 2 to 7 years and adults aged 31-35 and 46-50 years. CS occurs throughout the year, but the morbidity is higher in summer and winter. The leading route of transmission is alimentary, it prevails over contact, watery and perinatal.

has emerged as a critical global health threat due to its exceptional survival skills in adverse environment and its ability to acquire antibiotic resistance, presenting significant challenges for infection treatment and control. The World Health Organization has classified carbapenem-resistant as a "Critical Priority" pathogen to guide research and the development of control and prevention strategies. Epidemiological surveillance methodologies provide the tools necessary for classifying into international clonal lineages, facilitating the analysis of molecular characteristics, global dissemination, and evolution.

Objectives: Disuse theory predicts that cognitive function is vulnerable to transitions that remove factors that support cognitive skills. We sought to investigate whether non-employment over the working life was associated with cognitive function and decline in later life (≥60 years old), and possible gender differences in the association.

Background: To date, 11 DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE) pathogenic variants have been declared "hotspot" mutations. Patients with endometrial cancer (EC) characterized by POLE hotspot mutations (POLEmut) have exceptional survival outcomes. Whereas international guidelines encourage deescalation of adjuvant treatment in early-stage POLEmut EC, data regarding safety in POLEmut patients with unfavorable characteristics are still under investigation.
