Innovative digital technologies for ophthalmic screening and monitoring of premature infants

Pathology of the vision organ in premature infants (PI) is one of the leading problems in pediatric ophthalmology. The most severe diseases are retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), partial atrophy of the optic nerve, glaucoma, congenital myopia, developmental anomalies leading to blindness [1, 2]. For newborns weighing less than 2500 g, the introduction of a systematic approach to early detection of retinal pathology, conducting methods of careful ophthalmological monitoring to prevent irreversible changes are of medical and social importance [3]. This is due to the specificity of its clinical manifestations, early onset (the first weeks of a premature baby's life) and rapid course [7].

Effectiveness of complex anti-inflammatory treatment with the application of Mollagara mud for tuboperitoneal infertility

Tuboperitoneal infertility occurs in 20-30% of cases of female infertility and often occurs in chronic inflammatory processes of the genitals [6, 7]. In addition, the reasons may be surgical interventions which were performed on the pelvic organs, uterine cavity, as well as adhesions of the pelvic organs [8]. Because of several reasons, some patients need to use only conservative methods of treatment, which in turn require to be improved.

Closed chest injury complicated by traumatic asphyxia

Diagnostics and treatment of closed chest injuries are the urgent problems of thoracic surgery and traumatology [1, 3-5]. Traumatic asphyxia is a complication that occurs with strong and short-term compression of a chest or an abdomen. A diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia is established on the basis of complaints, anamnesis, the mechanism of a trauma, clinical picture and instrumental studies [2, 5, 7, 8]. We present a rare occurence of traumatic asphyxia as a result of closed chest injury with compression.

Organ-preserving operations for placenta previa and placenta accreta

Despite the development of science in general, and in particular the development of obstetrics, at present, maternal mortality remains one of the primary problems in different countries [1, 2]. In our country and abroad, numerous scientific works are devoted to the problem of maternal mortality, the main focus of which is the study of causes, prevention and conducting quality treatment, which allows to avoid irreversible consequences of obstetric bleeding. For a long time, there was a provision on the need for a planned hysterectomy for placenta previa and placenta accreta in order to avoid massive bleeding [3, 5]. According to the literature and on the recommendations of foreign authors, in case of pathology of the placenta, methods of organ-preserving operations are used [4]. The aim of the work is to analyze the results of managing patients with placenta previa and true placenta accreta.

Changes in portal hemodynamics in patients with liver cirrhosis

Latent course of many chronic diffuse liver diseases and, as a result, their delayed diagnosis underlie the frequent formation of liver cirrhosis (LC) [7, 9]. The cause of death of patients with LC is mainly complications of portal hypertension (PH), among which bleeding from esophageal varicose veins dilatation (EVVD) is 40%, hepatic encephalopathy 30%, infectious (pneumonia, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, urinary infections) complications 30%. Changes in intrahepatic hemodynamics play one of the key roles in the pathogenesis of hepatic diseases. Doppler ultrasound of vessels of the portal system is considered an affordable, informative and non-invasive method in the early diagnosis of liver diseases [8].

The effect of ecological crisis of the Aral sea on the health state of the population

Ecological crisis of the Aral Sea affects 60 million population of Central Asia and an area of about 25 million hectares [2, 10]. The Aral Sea is a saltwater lake or inland sea in Central Asia. Overconsumption of water for irrigating agricultural land has turned the fourth largest sea-lake in the world, previously rich in life, into a barren desert [6]. Shrinking Aral Sea is one of the most powerful sources of natural aerosols entering the atmosphere [2].
