[Comprehensive rehabilitation of spinal trauma patients with extended involvement of nursing staff and neurometabolic therapy].

Objective: Analysis of the effectiveness of the use of the drug Cytoflavin and the organization of the activities of nursing staff, within the framework of nursing care, in the complex therapy of patients with spinal cord injury (PSMT).

Material And Methods: Material and methods. 40 patients with PSMT due to a gunshot wound were examined, who were divided into two equal groups depending on the type of therapy performed: group 1 patients received the full volume of stage I medical rehabilitation (with additional use of neurodevelopmental techniques under the supervision of a Bobata department nurse) and standard drug therapy, including a course of intravenous Cytoflavin infusions followed by tablet form; group 2 patients received the full volume of stage I medical rehabilitation and standard drug therapy, but did not receive Cytoflavin.

[Transcheter aortic valve implantation as a method of treatment of chronic heart failure in elderly and old patients: Literature review (part 2).].

The most common heart valve defect among the elderly and senile is aortic valve stenosis. The traditional method of treating severe aortic valve stenosis is open surgery to replace aortic valve. At the same time, a more modern, minimally invasive method of correcting aortic stenosis is transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

[Transcheter aortic valve implantation as a method of treatment of chronic heart failure in elderly and old patients: Literature review (part 1).].

Aortic valve (AV) stenosis is the most common acquired valvular disease with an increasing prevalence due to an aging population, requiring surgical or endovascular intervention. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) represents a real revolution in the field of interventional cardiology for the treatment of elderly or high-risk patients with severe symptomatic AV stenosis. TAVI allows for the correction of aortic defect in the most severe group of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with severe comorbidity, who are contraindicated for open surgery to replace AV, in order to interrupt the vicious circle in the progression of CHF, stimulate reverse myocardial remodeling, alleviate symptoms, improve the quality of life, and prognosis of patients, and also as a «bridge» to heart transplantation.

[The criteria of increasing of quality of medical care of population in conditions of anthropogenic impact].

The assessment of medical care quality of different strata and groups of population is a priority direction of preventive medicine and public health. Nowadays, application of the riskometry theory considering external modifying factors is relevant. The registration of risk indices in the process of development of model of health preservation can be considered as a criterion of medical care quality.

Structural features of eyelid connective tissue in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Purpose: To study the connective tissue (CT) structure of upper eyelid skin of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.

Patients And Methods: Forty-seven patients aged 47-91 expecting blepharoplasty formed 3 groups: group 1 [16 subjects without POAG, median age 55 years (interquartile range 54-55.5)], group 2 [12 subjects without POAG, median age 73 (72-76.

[New approaches for recovery of erectile function in patients after radical prostatectomy].

[Roentgenendovascular arrest of bleeding in iatrogenic injury to the subclavian artery].

The authors present a clinical case report concerned with the arrest of continuous external bleeding from the subclavian artery due to its iatrogenic injury at transluminal endoprosthetics by stent graft. In patient Zh. aged 23 years, the subclavian artery was injured when an attempt was made to piece a subclavian venous catheter.
