Field experiments were conducted for three seasons under rainfed vertisols of Kovilpatti from 1981-82 to 1983-84 to evaluate the performance of blackgram under compartmental bunding, raised bed and ridges and furrows system with and without farm yard manure application at 10 tonnes/ha in mitigating the adverse effect of drought. These treaments were superimposed with foliar spraying of two percent solutions of DAP and Urea at the flowering phase. The results of pooled analyses revealed the superiority of foliar application of DAP or urea over water spray alone. Soil fertility was not influenced by the treatments, Farm yard manure application has signifi- cantly increased the soil moisture status.

The seed and seedling physiology of ten genotypes of cowpea were studied among high and low yielders. The germination per cent, field emergence, water absorption and vigour index were positively correlated with high yielding potential of cowpea genotypes. The genotypes with low yielding potential showed negative relationship with the above parameters. The EC of seed leachates showed a negative relationship with high yielders Seed leachates contained more of sugars and free amino acids in low yielding genotypes. The EC of seed leachate and vigour index may be used as selection criteria for higher yield in the case of cowpes genotypes

Authors:   Department of Agricultural Entomology Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, K RAJAKKANNU
Published: September 2023

Laterite soil had the highest persistence of Atrazine followed by black and red soils in the decreasing order. Among black soils, soil which had alkaline reaction (pH) exhibi- ted longer persistence. The inhibition of soil microbes at high pH might be the reason for lower rate of Atrazine degradation. The faster rate of Atrazine degradation was due to low clay and organic matter contents, Laterite soils which had 4.29% of organic mattor recorded the highest persistence of Atrazine. Because of higher absorption and low rate of desorption, the amount of Atrazine available for chemical and microbial degradation would be much less in laterite soil resulting in longer persistence. The present study also revealed that under field conditions Atrazine persisted in a black clay loam soil for a period of 2 months.

Denkanikotta Taluk is a part of Northwestern agroclimatic zone of Tamil Nadu and 80 per cent area is under rainfed farming The daily rainfall data for 44 years (1940-83) were analysed. Winter, summer, southwest monsoon and Northeast monsoon periods on an average receive 13, 195, 426 and 332 mm respectively. Rains during May in summer, July and September during Southwest and October in Northeast monsoon periods are more dependable. It brought out the feasibility of introducing a second crop in traditionally single cropped drylands. The crop substitution of cowpea in the place of horsegram is also proposed to increase the net income. Suggestions are also made to have double cropping systems with existing cultivars.

Find experiments were conducted at seven locations in the Nellikuppam sugar factory area where Zn and Fe deficiencies are noticed, to stucy the comparative etti- cacy of soil and foliar application of ZnSO4 and FeSO4 for sugarcane. The treatments consisted application of ZnSO4 (0. 18.75 and 37.5 kg/ha): FeSO4 (0, 50 and 100 kg/ha): foliar application of l_{0} deg ZnSO4 2% FeSO4 and 2 * o/n urea on 90th, 110th and 130th days. Sugarcane varieties COC 8001, COC 671, COC 8201 and CO 6304 were tested. The cane yield was significantly increased at three locations viz. P. V. Natham, P. N. Palayam and Ramhakkam with the application of ZnSO4 and FeSO4 in COC 8001-at two locations and another in COC 671 varieties. The cane yield increase ranged from 3.28 to 8.46 tha between NPK control and other treatments, Consideration of the mean yield values for different treatments for three locations indicated higher response for the application of 18.75 kg ZnSO4 + 50 kg Fe mathfrak S*O_{4} / h_{0} + 1% Zns * 0 +29/ FeSO, + 20% urea (foliar sprays given on 90th, 110th and 130th days). But this was on par with the other treatments including the 2 * 0/n urea foliar spray. The mean Pol percen- tage (Sucrose content) was increased significantly in five locations in all the varieties tried. Althouh cane yield was significantly increased for the urea 2 * 0/n spray, tune of increase in Pol was markedly higher only for the Zn and Fe treatments. Foliar spray of Zn and Fe had greater effect than the soil application.

Experiments were carried out with two redgram varieties to study the effects of gamma rays and DES on germination, survival, plant height, pollen and seed forti- lity in M, generarion. The germination of seeds and survival of seedlings were gradu- ally reduced by the increase in doses of mutagens. But the reduction was more with gamma rays than DES. The low doses of mutagens slightly increased the plant height on 30th day, while the higher doses reduced the plant height. The height reduction was more at early stage than at later stage for the same dose of muta- gons. In respect of pollen fertility, more reduction was noticed with DES than with gamma rays in the variety SA, 1 and the reverse was the case in CO. 2. DES was more potent in reducing the seed fertility than gamma rays. The mutagenic sensiti- vity not only depends upon the genotype but also on the type of mutagens used.

SELECTION INDICES IN GREENGRAM
Authors:   Dept of Plant Breeding and Genectics,Orissa Univ. of Agrl., and Technology. Bhubaneswar 751 003 ., R.C MISRA
Published: September 2023

Selection indices for yield were constructed on the basis of five different criteria (Viz, ha, G.A., rg, h-rg and P values) based on 1-9 characters using 30 varieties of greengram (Vigna radiata Wilczek,). Expected genetic gain in yield due to the indices were computed and their efficiency over direct selection for yield per se was assessed. In all the five groups the efficiency of the indices increased gradually with addition of characters to the indices, Combined direct and indirect selection was found to be more effective than indirect selection alone. The direct effect component (p.) of the characters on yield was found to be the best criterian for selection of characters for inclusion in the indices. The 6-character index based on pods/plant, 1000-seed wt., seeds/pod, reproductive period, clusters/plant and yield/plant was found to be most efficient index in realising genetic advance in yield, Inclusion of characters like length of pod and plant height did not add much to the efficiency of indices.

O avanço da idade traz consigo mudanças fisiológicas e patológicas que podem comprometer de forma crônica a saúde do indivíduo. A doença cerebrovascular é uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade entre a população idosa. Se tratando de interrupção do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral, tem-se o acidente vascular encefálico isquêmico como uma das causas da demência vascular. Objetivo: contribuir de forma positiva para o tratamento médico-terapêutico, manejo clínico e de cuidados em pacientes que apresentem este quadro. Metodologia: revisão de literatura sobre a relação entre acidente vascular encefálico isquêmico e a demência vascular nas bases de dados PubMed, MEDLINE, Scielo e LILACS e teve como critérios de inclusão estudos publicados na íntegra, no idioma português, espanhol e/ou inglês publicados entre os anos de 2017 e 2023. Resultados: encontrou-se que o desenvolvimento de demência após o acidente depende de vários fatores, incluindo a localização e volume, grau de dano neuronal relacionado, presença de comprometimento cognitivo pré-existente ou outra patologia cerebral. Conclusão: o controle do risco de doença vascular e a prevenção de acidentes vasculares encefálicos recorrentes são obviamente fundamentais para reduzir o ônus do declínio cognitivo e da demência após evento.

Published: September 2023

O Gossypium spp (algodoeiro) é uma planta comumente utilizada como um fitoterápico, porém sem comprovação científica. A incompreensão quanto aos princípios ativos e as aplicações desse vegetal para fins medicinais promove preocupação à saúde pública. Diante disso, este trabalho tem como principal objetivo elucidar dúvidas do uso de Gossypium herbaceum como um fitoterápico, através de uma revisão bibliográfica baseada em estudos nacionais e internacionais, bem como tentar validar seu uso popular como um fitoesterol no tratamento de dislipidemia. O principal composto químico do extrato do Gossypium é o gossipol, composto polifenólico que apresenta comprovados efeitos como: inibidor da gametogênese; ação antioxidante; ação anti-viral contra vírus envelopados (HIV-1 e Influenza); ação nefro e hepatoprotetora e; ações benéficas ao Sistema Nervoso pela inibição e atraso de convulsões, efeito antidepressivo e ansiolítico e, em pacientes com Alzheimer constatou-se melhora no aprendizado e memória. O Gossypium herbaceum apresenta também em sua composição o sitosterol, responsável pela classificação do algodoeiro como um fitoesterol, o qual possui como ação hipocolesterolêmica, o que corrobora com a hipótese de eficácia da queda considerável na taxa de lipoproteínas de baixa densidade (LDL) e colesterol total, simultaneamente ao aumento de lipoproteínas de alta densidade (HDL). No entanto, a escassez de trabalhos específicos desse tema induz a questionamentos quanto à fitoterapia do Gossypium na forma de prevenção ou/e tratamento, sendo este isolado ou associado a outros hipocolesterolêmicos ou hábitos de vida, existência de intoxicação e interação medicamentosa, sugerindo-se investigações específicas da ação terapêutica do Gossypium.

Acuidade Visual é a característica do olho em discriminar os detalhes espaciais, incluindo o contorno e a forma dos objetos. Mundialmente, dados apontam para uma considerável incidência de problemas de Acuidade Visual e os resultantes destas condições nas crianças em idade escolar que necessitam realizar diversas práticas sociais e intelectuais, que têm relação com as suas capacidades visuais. Portanto, a avaliação de erro refrativo não corrigido de crianças em idade escolar é justamente necessária e, para isso foi realizado um estudo quantitativo, coletando dados por fontes acadêmicas, na forma de revisões bibliográfica e revisão integrativa, fazendo comparações entre os artigos que abordaram o tema. Assim observamos que os erros de refração predominantes foram miopia, hipermetropia e astigmatismo, com uma variação de incidência entre os artigos variando de 13% a 35% de incidência. Com os dados obtidos da incidência de erros refrativos seria possível uma melhor alocação de recursos públicos e também o treinamento de educadores para a realização de teste para rastreamento e encaminhamento para tratamento precoce das crianças com baixa acuidade visual.

Published: September 2023

A hanseníase, também conhecida como mal de Hansen é uma doença crônica causada pela bactéria Mycobacterium leprae, que afeta principalmente a pele, nervos periféricos, mucosas e olhos. É uma doença infectocontagiosa com manifestações clínicas variadas e que se não tratadas podem gerar a complicações mais graves. As manifestações clínicas da patologia podem variar desde formas paucibacilares, com poucas lesões cutâneas e comprometimento neural mínimo, até formas multibacilares, com múltiplas lesões cutâneas e acometimento neural mais grave. Os sinais e sintomas mais comuns da Hanseníase incluem manchas na pele com alteração de sensibilidade, diminuição da força muscular, perda de sensibilidade, parestesias, dor e deformidades nas extremidades. A abordagem terapêutica da hanseníase é baseada na classificação clínica e bacteriológica da doença, sendo dividida em tratamento para formas paucibacilares (PB) e formas multibacilares (MB). A terapia consiste na administração de uma combinação de fármacos antimicrobianos, como a rifampicina, dapsona e clofazimina, por um determinado período, de acordo com a classificação clínica do paciente. A adesão ao tratamento é fundamental para a cura da doença e para prevenir complicações. As complicações da Hanseníase são diversas, variando de acordo com o estágio e a gravidade da patologia. Entre as principais complicações estão a incapacidade física, causada pelo comprometimento neurológico e muscular, deformidades nas extremidades, reações hansênicas, que são manifestações imunológicas da doença, e neuropatias, como a neurite hansênica. É importante salientar que o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento adequado da hanseníase são fundamentais para evitar complicações e promover a cura da doença. A busca ativa de casos suspeitos, o acompanhamento clínico e bacteriológico dos pacientes bem como a promoção da adesão ao tratamento são estratégias importantes no controle da patologia.

Published: September 2023

Os craniofaringiomas são tumores benignos raros do sistema nervoso central e representam 2 a 5% de todas as neoplasias intracranianas primárias e até 15% dos tumores intracranianos em crianças. O objetivo geral foi compreender as características clínicas das craniofaringiomas. Para isso foi realizado um estudo integrativo do tipo revisão bibliográfica. Utilizou-se as bases de dados PubMed, MEDLINE, Scielo e LILACS, com os descritores em saúde “Craniofaringioma”, “tumores cerebrais”, “neurocirurgia” e “qualidade de vida”, em língua inglesa e portuguesa, utilizando o “E” ou “OU” como operador booleano. Evidenciou-se que os sintomas no momento do diagnóstico em adultos diferem daqueles observados em crianças, com frequentes alterações visuais como características de apresentação do paciente devido ao efeito de massa tumoral. O tratamento clássico geralmente envolve uma abordagem multimodal que pode combinar uma ou mais operações cirúrgicas com várias modalidades de radioterapia. Concluiu-se que apesar de sua natureza não maligna, eles apresentam um risco muito alto de recorrência, exigindo atualmente uma abordagem multimodal para evitar complicações locais à custa de morbidades graves induzidas pelo tratamento.

Óbito materno é a morte de uma mulher durante a gestação, ao parto ou até 42 dias após o término da gestação e representa um grave problema de saúde pública. Diante deste cenário este estudo teve por objetivo descrever a frequência e estimar a taxa de mortalidade materna no Estado de São Paulo no período de 2016 a 2020. Foram coletados e analisados os dados das principais causas de óbito materno cadastrados no Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade, identificadas pelo código CID-10. Foi estimada a taxa de mortalidade materna e estratificadas pelo ano do óbito. As causas mais frequentes de óbito materno foram: outras doenças maternas, que inclui os tipos de anemia que acometem a gestante, eclampsia e doenças parasitárias e infecciosas, respectivamente. Houve variação e aumento em alguns anos, mas o principal aumento na taxa de mortalidade materna ocorreu em 2020, onde óbitos maternos por doenças infecciosas representou 13,4 dos casos para cada 100.000 nascidos vivos. Esse aumento se deve ao número de casos de COVID-19 e demonstrou a fragilidade do sistema de saúde brasileiro relacionado também à atenção obstétrica. Foi possível concluir que as taxas de mortalidade materna ainda estão altas, e que maiores esforços precisam ser realizados para que esses números no estado de São Paulo diminuam consideravelmente.

Background: Spirituality has been strongly associated with good blood pressure control as it forms a strong coping mechanism in hypertensive patients. This hospital-based cross-sectional study was done to determine the relationship between spirituality and blood pressure control among adult hypertensive patients in rural Southwestern Nigeria to achieve good blood pressure control. Method: The selection was done by systematic random sampling technique. Socio-demographic and clinical information were obtained through semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaires. The level of spirituality was assessed using the Spiritual Perspective Scale. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.0. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 61.1 ± 11.1 years. More than half (52.6%) had a high level of spirituality and more than two-thirds (67.1%) of respondents had controlled blood pressure. Respondents with a high level of spirituality were 4.76 times more likely to have good blood pressure control {p < 0.001, 95% CI (1.05-14.99)} than those with a low level of spirituality. Conclusion: Proper understanding and effective utilization of this relationship will assist health professionals and researchers in the appropriate integration of this concept into patients’ holistic care with the aim of achieving better blood pressure control among hypertensive patients.
Intersecting Pathways: Examining Hildegard Peplau's and Rosemarie Parse's Nursing Theories through a Comparative Lens
Authors: Mehtab Lalwani , Rafat Jan , Salma Rattani
Published: September 2023

Background: Nursing theories are organized bodies of knowledge providing a way to define nursing as a unique discipline that is separate from other disciplines. As a profession, nursing is committed to recognizing its own unparalleled body of knowledge vital to nursing practice and science. Nursing is a science based on the theory of what nursing is, what nurses do, and why. Aim: This paper aims to elucidate the practical application of Hildegard Peplau's and Rosemarie Parse's nursing theories, individually and in synthesis, in modern nursing practice. Key points: These include a) Hildegard Peplau's Theory of Interpersonal Relations emphasizes the nurse-patient relationship, therapeutic communication, and the continuous search for improvement in patients, even those facing mental health challenges. b) Rosemarie Parse's Theory of Human Becoming underscores the uniqueness of each patient's lived experiences, the significance of "meaning" in health experiences, "rhythmicity" in patterns, and the potential for "transcendence" and growth. c) Integrating Peplau's and Parse's theories promotes holistic patient-centered care, compassionate and empathetic nursing, enhanced communication skills, patient autonomy, cultural competence, continuity of care, and a deep respect for human dignity. d) By embracing both theories, nurses can provide comprehensive, compassionate, and patient-centered care that respects each patient's individuality and capacity for growth. Conclusion: The synthesis of Hildegard Peplau's and Rosemarie Parse's nursing theories offers nurses a comprehensive framework for modern nursing practice. It guides nurses in providing high-quality, patient-centered care that preserves human dignity and recognizes the uniqueness of each patient. Drawing from multiple theoretical perspectives enhances nursing practice and ensures the well-being of patients in today's evolving healthcare landscape.
Hazardous Effects of Malaria for Patients Residing in Low-probability Malaria Areas: A Case Report and Critiques of the Literature for Cerebral Malaria
Authors: Janvier Nzayikorera
Published: September 2023

Despite decades of global and country commitments towards eradicating malaria, malaria remains the most hazardous parasitic disease and the most common cause of fever for humans, especially in tropical countries. Plasmodium falciparum causes 90% of malaria cases. Coma [Cerebral Malaria (CM)], acidosis, hypoglycemia, severe anemia, renal dysfunction, and pulmonary edema are the most common complications of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and the most common cause of death related to malaria. People from less prevalent malaria areas are at high risk of developing these complications. A 16-year-old male from a low malaria transmission area was diagnosed with CM. Prior to developing CM, he was treated with Coartem. CM is a medical emergency and one of the forms of severe malaria. CM has high mortality and morbidity rates. Yet, international health-related agencies, funders, and policy-makers are unfamiliar with it. The continuous occurrence of CM validates the considerable need for global investment in malaria control and elimination programs. Early administration of Artesunate to all patients suspected of having severe malaria would reduce global malaria-related mortality and morbidity. Simple tests, such as the determination of malaria parasitic density either with thin or thick blood smears, may influence the proper management of all severe malaria cases. However, in clinical practice, the determination of malaria parasitic density is not routinely done. Further commitments are needed to ensure routine determination of malaria parasitic density for all suspected severe malaria cases. Moreover, further commitments are needed to guarantee the proper management of CM because it is a major cause of reversible encephalopathy in tropical countries.

Little research has sought to understand programs incorporating outdoor adventure recreation and STEM, or adventure STEM. An eight-day residential outdoor camp combining adventure activities with experiential education and geology-focused informal learning opportunities was developed and delivered to adolescents. The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand the impacts of this adventure STEM camp on adolescents perceived outdoor recreation self-efficacy (ORSE). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 youth participants and content analysis was used to analyze the results. Experiential education theory and self-efficacy theory informed the curriculum design, as well as the interview questions. Results indicated there was a change in ORSE beliefs and that campers had unique, yet similar, experiences. These experiences aligned with Bandura’s (1977) main sources of self-efficacy (SE) and the physiological processes through which SE beliefs are formed. Results indicated strategically adding more camp opportunities related to mastery experiences, reflection, and coping could further improve outcomes.

Authors: SAĞAR Mehmet Enes
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study is to determine how much the social anxiety variable predicts the loneliness levels of teacher candidates. In addition, in this study, it was examined to deter-mine the differentiation status of teacher candidates in loneliness levels according to gen-der. The study was conducted based on the relational screening model. The study group of the study consisted of 281 (47.7% male (n=134), 52.3% (n=147) female) teacher candida-tes studying at different universities in Turkey in the 2022-2023 academic year. The ave-rage age of the study group is 21.14. Ucla Loneliness Scale (ULS-8), Short Form of the Social Anxiety Scale and Personal Information Form were used as data collection tools in the study. The relationship between teacher candidates' social anxiety levels and loneliness was determined by Pearson correlation analysis. The predictive relationship of social anxi-ety levels on loneliness was tested with simple linear regression analysis. In addition, t-test analysis was applied for independent samples in order to determine whether the loneliness levels of teacher candidates show a significant difference according to their gender. As a result of the study, it was determined that there was a positive and moderately significant relationship between loneliness and social anxiety. It was observed that the social anxiety variable was a significant predictor of the loneliness variable. The social anxiety variable explained approximately 28% of loneliness. In addition, as a result of this study, it was concluded that there was no significant gender difference in the loneliness levels of teacher candidates.
Translation of Well-being Assessment Instruments in African Contexts: A Mapping Review and Future Directions
Authors: Chukwuorji JohnBosco , Osondu Oluchi
Published: September 2023

A fundamental requirement for proper measurement of well-being in diverse contexts is the appropriate translation of well-being measures into the languages spoken by the specific population. This paper aims to identify measures of well-being that have been translated into African languages up to the year 2019 and make suggestions for researchers who are faced with the challenge of translating well-being instruments into local languages. Online databases were searched to identify published studies reporting the translation of well-being instruments into African languages. Some researchers were further contacted and requested to provide relevant studies. A total of 352 publications were retrieved and 44 translated measures met the inclusion criteria. Findings showed that all the translated African language versions of existing measures were published between 2006 and 2019. Although the published translations were increasingly widespread, the distribution of available studies was uneven, with very low published translation activity in East and North Africa and a preponderance of publications on translated instruments in South Africa. The authors suggest deriving population norms for relevant translations; increasing funding and other resources for translation projects; developing cross-national collaborations on translations; and making the translated versions of well-being instruments more accessible for use by other researchers.

In the present study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of semen extender with added insulin on ram semen at the post-thaw stage. Semen was collected from 5 Tuj rams five times with an electro-ejaculator. Experimental groups were designated as control group and groups containing 15 IU and 20 IU insulin lispro added semen extenders. At the post-thaw stage, motility and plasma membrane integrity were evaluated by microscopy. Acrosome integrity (Fitc-Peanut Agglutinin) and mitochondrial membrane potential (Rhodamine 123) were assessed by dual staining with propidium iodide (PI) using flow cytometry. It was found that motility and plasma membrane functional integrity were better preserved in the control group (p0.05), but acrosome integrity was negatively affected in the 20 IU insulin group (p

Published: September 2023

If chronic heart failure (CHF) is accompanied by anemic syndrome and iron defi ciency (ID) tolerance to treatment develops, the eff ectiveness of drugs that form the basis of CHF treatment decreases, and the prognosis worsens. Aim. To evaluate the possibilities of using iron preparations with hepcidin-independent absorption mechanism depending on the characteristics of iron metabolism, erythropoiesis and the level of infl ammation in patients with CHF and anemia. Material and methods. The study included 68 patients diagnosed with CHF to describe the characteristics of anemia (General group). Further, 56 patients who signed consent to the study were divided into two groups: 30 patients (Treatment Group) with standard CHF therapy and iron preparations, and 26 (Comparison Group) with standard CHF therapy only. Sucrosomial iron (SI) was used 60 mg per day orally for three months. Results. Variants of anemia in CHF: absolute ID (AID) — 43%, functional ID (FID) — 19%, anemia without ID — 38%. In the treatment group, an increase in hemoglobin (Hb, p < 0.002), hematocrit (Ht, p < 0.001), mean corpuscular volume (MCV, p < 0.002) and serum ferritin (SF, p < 0.05), in the Сomparison group only Ht, p < 0.01, and the greatest increase in Hb was detected in patients with SF < 30 μmol/l (p < 0.002). Conclusion. Anemia in CHF corresponds to the signs of anemia of chronic disease (ACD) with J, while J was detected in 62% of patients. The use of SI signifi cantly increases erythrocyte counts and SF/
Evolution of Approaches to Understanding Functional Diagnosis in Psychiatry: From Theoretical Conceptualization to Practical Using
Authors: Oshevsky D. S. , Solokhina T. A.
Published: September 2023

Background: the complex process of transition to the new International Classification of Diseases 11th revision and intensive research in the field of clinical, biological and social psychiatry involves the integration of acquired knowledge about the patient on the basis of a holistic approach. The functional diagnosis of mental disorders is becoming more important as well as the possibility of formulating a functional diagnosis as a system of holistic assessment of the patient’s condition.

Objective:to present the overview of domestic and foreign modern research on the evolution of conceptual views on functional diagnosis in psychiatry and the possibility of its practical applying.

Material and method: a search of scientific publications in the databases of MedLine/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, eLibrary, Google Scholar was made over the past 20 years using the keywords “mental disorders”, “functional diagnostics”, “biopsychosocial model”. As a result 97 authors in accordance with criteria were selected.

Results: Analysis of literature testifies that systematic approach to solving the problems of people with mental disorders, in despite of declare is not used in practice. A functional diagnosis is a tool that provides an opportunity to synthesize various information about a patient. The evolution of views on functional diagnostics in psychiatry based on the analysis of various diagnostic concepts is considered in a historical perspective. Taking into account new knowledge in the field of psychiatry, clinical psychology and neuroscience, modern methodological approaches to the substantiation of a functional diagnosis are presented. The role of an integrative dynamic biopsychosocial approach in the treatment and psychosocial rehabilitation of people with mental disorders is shown. The expediency of using a functional diagnosis in planning, implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of team methods of work in psychiatric practice is substantiated.

Conclusion: the term “functional diagnosis” is a reliable framework model that allows a holistic and systematic approach to the patient’s problems, setting and solving new scientific and practical problems.
