The increasing popularity of the use of electronic cigarettes and the possibility of reducing their consumption with the help of public marketing events make the writing of this scientific work relevant. Domestic scientists were mainly engaged in the study of the harmfulness of consumption and legal regulation of the circulation of electronic cigarettes, their excise taxation. However, these scientific works do not fully describe the comprehensive application of public marketing tools in the field of combating electronic cigarette smoking among teenagers. The scientific article describes the definition of the concept of demarketing, as one of the types of marketing in which public authorities can participate. The success of the implementation of two national information campaigns on the fight against tobacco smoking in Ukraine is analyzed. It was determined that it is most expedient to carry out such campaigns on the Internet, since teenagers actively use it. According to the author of the article, the success of the "There is no such thing as safe smoking" campaign could have been increased several times if targeted advertising was carried out in all popular social networks. Yes, videos were broadcast on YouTube, Facebook, but currently the youngest audience uses TikTok the most. Also, if the organizers of the information campaign had turned to popular video bloggers, and they, in turn, had briefly talked about the dangers of smoking electronic cigarettes in their videos, the success of the campaign would have been much higher. The article provides an example of how in Iceland, with the help of the implementation of the national plan "Youth in Iceland", the consumption of electronic cigarettes among teenagers was significantly reduced. And, Iceland became the European country with the lowest percentage of children and teenagers with bad habits. Based on this, possible ways to solve the problem in Ukraine using public marketing tools were proposed. The scientific article also provided recommendations for improving the use of public marketing actions in the field of combating e-cigarette smoking among teenagers in Ukraine.

Identifying hand gestures in semaphore code accurately and in real time is a challenge. Especially for Scouts who are just learning this skill to minimize errors that can result in inappropriate information received and can affect the safety and effectiveness of communication. The use of Decision Tree in identifying hand gestures can make a significant contribution for Scouts to communicate more effectively. Based on the test results, this model can recognize letter classes in semaphore ciphers with normal lighting as evidenced by a higher accuracy rate. The average accuracy in normal light is 94%. In low-light conditions, it showed lower performance. In the first test, the model achieved 74% accuracy by recognizing 20 classes, while in the second test, the accuracy dropped to 66% by recognizing 18 classes. Confusion matrix testing is used to evaluate the Accuracy, Recall, and Precision levels in model training using Decision Tree.

The background of this research is based on the importance of efficiency in implementing the Stack data structure, which is widely used in various programming applications such as mathematical expression evaluation, memory management, and undo/redo features. Two common approaches, namely Array and Linked List, each have their advantages and disadvantages in terms of execution efficiency, memory usage, and flexibility. This study compares the implementation of the Stack data structure using these two approaches, focusing on execution time efficiency, memory usage, and size flexibility. Using an experimental method, the implementation was conducted in C++ programming language through scenarios such as mathematical expression evaluation and undo/redo features. The results show that the Array approach is more efficient for static data access, while the Linked List excels in size flexibility and dynamic memory allocation for variable data. The study concludes that the choice of approach depends on the specific application requirements. These findings are expected to assist software developers in selecting the appropriate Stack implementation method.

Authors: Shah Shail , Raithatha Parth , Raiyani Sunil
Published: January 2025

The paper presents an experimental investigation of the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beam elements strengthened externally with stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM). SSWM has the potential to be an alternative composite material in place of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) because of advantages such as being cost-effective, having more fire-resistance and corrosion resistance, good bond behaviour with concrete, improve the strength of members, leaving minimal effects on structural aesthetics as it has less thickness and ease in availability. In the present study, SSWM has been wrapped externally over the beams having three different wrapping patterns, including fully wrapped vertical SSWM strips over the beam, partial wrapping of vertical SSWM strips in between the stirrups of the beam and partial wrapping of vertical SSWM strips above the stirrups of the beam, and control beam with no wrapping, each configuration having two test specimens. Results of experimental investigation in terms of cracking load, ultimate load, corresponding deflection, ductility, initial stiffness and energy absorption capacity of different wrapping patterns have been obtained and compared with those of control beam specimens. From the results obtained, it has been demonstrated that the fully wrapped SSWM strip wrapping pattern enhanced the flexural strength of the beam and showed the highest strength gain compared to the other wrapping patterns.
TREATMENT OF MICROVASCULAR ANGINA IN THE ABSENCE OF SIGNIFICANT ATHEROSCLEROTIC CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH CARDIO-RENAL METABOLIC SYNDROME
Authors: Marushko Ye. , Levadska A. А.
Published: January 2025

Background. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains the most common cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Systemic atherosclerosis results from various risk factors, such as genetic predisposition, smoking, and diabetes. Cardio-renal-metabolic (CRM) conditions combines heart failure, dysglycemia and chronic kidney disease, increasing the risk of INOCA.
Aim: of study was to examine the prevalence and optimize the treatment of microvascular angina in patients with IHD, non-stenosing coronary atherosclerosis and CRM condition.
Materials and methods. A total of 82 patients with CRM conditions were examined, including 54 males (65.8%) and 28 females (34.2%) with an average age of 56.9±3.9 years. Patients underwent an exercise stress test or stress echocardiography for myocardial ischemia assessment. Following IHD confirmation, invasive coronary angiography revealed non-stenosing coronary atherosclerosis or intact coronary arteries. Coronary microvascular dysfunction was diagnosed via echocardiography with intravenous dipyridamole administration, followed by coronary flow reserve (CFR) index assessment. Microvascular dysfunction was diagnosed with CFR <2. Patients with confirmed myocardial ischemia and no significant coronary artery lesions were diagnosed with microvascular angina (INOCA).
Results. In 74 (90.2%) patients with CRM conditions and IHD without significant coronary artery lesions, the cause of ischemia was microvascular angina. The remaining 9.8% had myocardial demand-supply mismatch due to cardiac muscle hypertrophy. Research continued with 74 patients with microvascular angina. All patients received aspirin, statins, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors/sartans, indapamide, SGLT2 inhibitors, and metformin. To achieve a goal in glycaemic profiles, doses of metformin were adjusted for 46 patients, and liraglutide was added for 10. For all patients we prescribed nicorandil. After 28 days of nicorandil therapy, 97.3% of patients were free of angina symptoms. Nicorandil normalized coronary microvascular function in 91.9% and clinically relieved symptoms in 97.3%.
Conclusion. In 90.2% patients with CRM conditions and IHD without significant coronary artery lesions, ischemic complaints are due to microvascular angina. Nicorandil in combination therapy achieves a clinical effect in 97.3% of cases and normalizes coronary flow reserve in 91.9% of patients.
LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF CORONARY ARTERY STENTING IN PATIENTS WITH CARDIORENAL-METABOLIC SYNDROME AND HEART FAILURE
Authors: Mankovskiy G. B.
Published: January 2025

Background. Patients with cardio-renal-metabolic syndrome (CRMS) have a high risk of cardiovascular mortality due to the combination of heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and endocrine diseases, as well as a high risk of coronary heart disease and complications from systemic atherosclerosis. The presence of heart failure in such patients worsens the prognosis and increases the likelihood of repeated cardiovascular events.
Aim: To study the risk of major cardiovascular events or the need for repeated coronary interventions after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with cardio-renal-metabolic syndrome, depending on the phenotype of heart failure.
Materials and Methods. The study included 131 patients undergoing examination and percutaneous coronary intervention for CAD. The average age of the patients was 58.3±0.5 years, 81 (61.8%) of them were male. CRMS was defined as a combination of heart failure, chronic kidney disease stage ≥3A, and type 2 diabetes. 
Patients were divided into 4 groups depending on the presence of heart failure: clinical group 1 - patients with CRMS and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (n=36); clinical group 2 – patients with CRMS and heart failure with mildly reduced LVEF (n=33); clinical group 3 - patients with CRMS and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (n=32); a comparison group with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and no signs of heart failure (stage A) (n=30).
Results. Heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction had the highest percentage of those who reached the end point during the five-year follow-up. The group of patients without heart failure showed the best results in interventional treatment. The main reason for the recurrence of coronary heart disease was restenosis in a previously implanted coronary stent or the appearance of significant stenosis in new locations.
Conclusion. The phenotype of heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with cardiorenal-metabolic syndrome is associated with a worse prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention, since the patients have a higher risk of new coronary artery stenosis.

Authors: Koltunova H. B. , Chyzh K.P.
Published: January 2025

Background. There is currently limited evidence on the effective management of intensive care for infective endocarditis (IE), including specific clinical signs that indicate a poor prognosis, as well as prognostic tools that are effective in identifying high-risk patients.
Aim: Evaluate the effectiveness of using a severity assessment system in patients with infective endocarditis complicated by acute heart failure in the perioperative stage.
Materials and methods. The study included clinical data of 75 patients with IE complicated by preoperative acute heart failure (AHF), who were hospitalised at the State Institution ‘Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine’ from 01.01.2019 to 01.01.2023. At the perioperative stage, clinical and biochemical parameters were assessed and scores were calculated according to the sepsis-associated organ dysfunction score.
Results. The median calculated preoperative APACHE II score was 14 points (11;19). In our study, 23 patients (30.7%) belonged to the group with scores from 15 to 19. Surgical intervention under conditions of artificial circulation was performed in 72 (96.0%) cases. At the preoperative stage, hospital mortality was 3 (4.0%) patients with IE complicated by preoperative AHF. The median calculated APACHE II score on the first day of the postoperative period was 11 points (6;13). The distribution of patients based on the APACHE II scale was analysed. The largest number - 12 (16.7%) - of patients had a score of 13 on the APACHE II scale. The largest cohort at this stage was made up of patients with scores from ‘4’ to ‘9’ - 42 (58.3%) cases. In-hospital mortality in the surgical treatment of IE complicated by AHF was 10 (13.9%) cases.
Conclusions. A balanced preoperative assessment of the risks of cardiac surgery will allow modifying the tactics of perioperative management of patients with IE complicated by preoperative AHF.
THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY ON P65 NF-KB ACTIVITY IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF PLACENTAL DYSFUNCTION
Authors: Poladich I.V.
Published: January 2025

Aim: To study the role of vitamin D in the activation of nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) as a factor in the development of placental disorders.
Materials and methods: The study involved 135 women who were observed and gave birth at the Municipal Non-Profit Enterprise "Perinatal Center of Kyiv." The research was conducted as a case-control study, including 105 pregnant women in the main group with placental dysfunction (Group I – 70 women with vitamin D deficiency below 20 ng/ml, Group II – 35 women with vitamin D deficiency between 20 and 30 ng/ml) and 30 women in the control group with a physiological course of pregnancy and uncomplicated term deliveries. The concentration of 25(OH)D in the blood of pregnant women was measured using the immunoassay method with a Monobind reagent kit (USA) and a Sinnova ER 500 microplate reader (China). The determination of p65 NF-kB was carried out using the RayBio Human Procalcitonin ELISA method (RayBiotech, Inc., USA) with the Phospho-NF-kB P65 (Ser536) and Total NF-kB P65 ELISA Kit. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the MedStat v.5.2 and EZR v.3.4.1 software. Initially, the normality of the data distribution was checked using the Shapiro-Wilk test, followed by the application of multiple comparisons using the Kruskal-Wallis rank-based one-way analysis of variance. Statistical significance was determined at p < 0.05.
Results. The study revealed a significant difference in the levels of total and phosphorylated p65 NF-kB protein between the groups of pregnant women with vitamin D deficiency and the control group (p < 0.05). In pregnant women with vitamin D deficiency, there was a marked increase in the levels of total p65 NF-kB (median 69.5 pg/ml) and its activated form, indicating the activation of inflammatory processes in the placenta. Clinical manifestations of placental dysfunction, such as fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, and preterm labor, were observed in one-third of the women with vitamin D deficiency. This was accompanied by changes in the hormonal function of the placenta (a decrease in progesterone and stabilization of placental lactogen) and morphological signs of placental abnormalities. The increase in p65 NF-kB activity was highest in women with placental abnormalities, particularly preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and preterm labor, indicating a link between vitamin D deficiency and inflammation in the placenta.
Conclusion. Vitamin D levels below 20 ng/ml are associated with activation of the p65 NF-kB factor, which correlates with placental dysfunction, regardless of pregnancy outcomes. This confirms the role of vitamin D deficiency in the activation of NF-kB and the development of placental disorders.

Authors: Serdiuk A.V. , Mogilevskyy S.Y. , Ziablitzev S.V. , Guryanov V.G.
Published: January 2025

Background. Many prognostic models have been developed to predict diabetic complications, but predicting the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a challenge, as in the early stages of DR there are often no clear ophthalmologic criteria.
Aim: develop a prognostic model of diabetic retinopathy progression based on the analysis of clinical data and blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and lipid metabolism.
Materials and methods. We examined 358 patients (358 eyes) with T2DM and DR, who were divided into groups: Group 1 - with nonproliferative DR (NPDR; 189 eyes), Group 2 - with preproliferative DR (PPDR; 96 eyes) and Group 3 - with proliferative DR (PDD; 73 eyes). Patients were examined using ophthalmologic methods, fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), cholesterol, high (HDL), low (LDL) and very low (VLDL) density lipoproteins, triglycerides were determined in the blood serum by colorimetric method. The results of the study were analyzed using the EZR v.1.54 package (Austria).
Conclusion. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of age and duration of T2DM (p>0.05). Blood pressure and HbA1c gradually increased in the groups (p<0.05). The content of cholesterol, lipoprotein fractions and triglycerides in groups 2 and 3 did not differ significantly, but was 1.05-1.19 times higher than in group 1 (p<0.05). A positive effect on the risk of NPDR progression was found in the blood levels of VLDL, HbA1c, LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, as well as diastolic and systolic blood pressure (SBP). In a multivariate regression analysis, a 5-factor model of NPDR progression was built, which included age, SBP, and blood levels of HbA1c, LDL-C, and VLDL-C. The model had very good prediction quality (AUC=0.87) and high specificity (91.5%). Thus, predictors of NPDR progression were advanced age, high SBP, and increased blood HbA1c, LDL-C, and VLDL-C. The model can be recommended for confirming a high risk of NPDR progression in questionable clinical cases or as a criterion for evidence-based medical prognosis in appropriate expert systems.

Authors: Hozak S.V. , Yelizarova O.T. , Stankevych T.V. , Parats A.M.
Published: January 2025

Background. In the 2022/2023 academic year, the Ministry of Education of Ukraine recommended the regular incorporation of psychological tools in the educational process in schools. Monitoring such extensive measures at the population level is essential to assess their effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.
Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of implementing psychological tools in the educational process on depressive and anxiety symptoms in school-age children during martial law.
Materials and methods. At the end of the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 academic years, 3,456 parents of school-age children in different regions of Ukraine were surveyed using the Q-RAPH and RCADS-25 questionnaires. The chances of reducing the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms under the influence of new approaches were assessed using logistic regression models.
Results. In the 2023/2024 academic year, relative to 2022/2023, parents' awareness of such intervention decreased by 1.9 times (p<0.001). It was found that implementing "psychological minutes" decreased the likelihood of school-aged children developing symptoms of depression by 28.2% (OR=0,78; CI 0,61-0,99) compared to no intervention. The chances of developing anxiety symptoms decreased by 26.6% (OR=0.79; CI 0.57-1.08).
Conclusions. Implementing psychological tools during education helps prevent the development of depressive symptoms in school-age children, but further research is needed on approaches to reducing anxiety symptoms. This study's results will contribute to developing psychological support strategies in educational institutions, especially during difficult times, and highlight the importance of current research in this area.
TYPES OF POSTOPERATIVE AESTHETIC COMPLICATIONS AFTER BREAST ENDOPROSTHETICS (review of the leading researches)
Authors: Khrapach O. V.
Published: January 2025

Background. The digital indicators of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery for 2018, 2021 and 2022 indicate a trend of steady increase in demand for breast endoprosthetics (augmentation mammoplasty) with various implants, in particular, in 2022 there was an increase in the number of transactions by 29% compared to 2021. However, in addition to the increase in demand for breast augmentation, there is also an increase in the number of postoperative aesthetic complications worldwide, in particular, specific to these interventions, malposition of implants in the long-term postoperative period.
Aim: to review the leading researches on the types of postoperative aesthetic complications after breast endoprosthetics.
Material and methods. The review of the leading researches was based on the identification of scientific publications devoted to the study of the specifics and features of surgical intervention in the cosmetic procedure of breast augmentation in the free search engine for biomedical research PubMed (from the US National Library of Medicine and the US National Institutes of Health), as well as in the open access search engine Google Scholar. As a result of the analytical search, the formed array of selected publications became the basis for a professional review of sources to determine the causes of postoperative specific aesthetic complications after breast endoprosthetics.
Results. The review describes the pathogenesis of the main postoperative aesthetic complications that can develop after breast augmentation and presents the views of medical scientists on improving the breast augmentation procedure and preventing further complications.
Conclusion. The effect of implants on the surrounding tissues, including muscles, has not been sufficiently studied. Prevention of malposition during breast arthroplasty with modern microtextured and smooth implants of the latest generation has not been sufficiently developed. Traditionally, the literature focuses on preventive measures to create an adequate implant pocket volume, prevent fluid accumulation around the prosthesis and biofilm formation. Therefore, breast endoprosthetics (augmentation mammoplasty) requires further improvements to prevent the possible occurrence and further development of any complications after surgical interventions during cosmetic procedures.

The frequency of pregnancies obtained with the application of assisted reproductive technologies is constantly increasing both in Ukraine and in the world, which is due to a rapid increase in the level of infertility among married couples. At the same time, most researchers note that pregnancy after assisted reproductive technologies application has its own characteristics and is associated with an increased risk of premature birth, perinatal diseases, placental dysfunction, fetal infections, and the delivery of newborns with low body weight. An individualized approach to predicting and diagnosing pregnancy complications in women after assisted reproductive technologies application can contribute to reducing risks and negative consequences for the mother and the newborn. The conducted review of literary sources confirms the lack of a unified view on forecasting, diagnosis and prevention of the main perinatal complications during pregnancy, which occurred as a result of the assisted reproductive technologies application.
Conclusion. The conducted review of scientific literary sources confirms the lack of a unified view on forecasting, diagnosis and prevention of the main perinatal complications during pregnancy, deliveries, postpartum period in women after application of assisted reproductive technologies that leads to the necessity of the individual pathogenic approaches development and implementation in order to decrease an obstetric and perinatal pathology.

Authors: Baran O.A. , Tymruk-Skoropad K.A.
Published: January 2025

Background. According to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, almost 200,000 people will need quality rehabilitation care every year. In the first half of 2024 alone, more than 14,000 children underwent rehabilitation under three medical guarantee programmes. The competency-based approach to specialised training of physical therapists in paediatrics is widespread and in line with current best practices. In the formal education of a physical therapist, limited time is allocated to the development of competencies in the field of paediatric physical therapy. Therefore, careful attention must be paid to the training of specialists to ensure safe, high-quality and effective practice of physical therapy in paediatrics.
Aim: to substantiate the need for a competence-based approach to the specialised training of physical therapists in paediatrics in Ukraine.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of a literature review and a survey of physical therapists working in paediatrics from 1 to 14 September 2023. The developed questionnaire contains 13 questions aimed at determining the level of competence of practitioners in Ukraine.
Results. The most frequent answer to each competence is the experienced level (from 30.48 to 46.34 % of respondents). From 13.41 to 30.48 % of respondents named the intermediate level, from 2.43 to 10.97 % of physical therapists indicated the basic level for each competence. From 10.98 to 20.73% of respondents chose the advanced level.
Conclusion. Leading international professional organisations and systems for improving the quality of education have proposed a list of competencies for a physical therapist in paediatrics. In view of this, it is relevant to develop a list of competencies on the basis of which specialised training and/or advanced training of physical therapists in Ukraine in paediatrics will be formed.

Background

In 2022 due to increase in the number of migrants from Ukraina changes in HIV epidemiological situation in Poland was noticed e.g., double number of new infections, increase among women and children.

Objective

The aim of the study was to assess the epidemiological situation of newly diagnosed HIV infections, AIDS cases and death among AIDS cases in Poland in 2022 in comparison to the changes in preceding years.

Material and methods

Analysis of the epidemiological situation was based on reports of newly detected HIV and AIDS cases received from doctors and laboratories and the results of the annual survey of HIV testing conducted among the laboratories throughout the country. A dataset on clients from anonymous Voluntary Testing and Counselling (VCT) network was also used. They are coordinated by the National AIDS Center, which anonymously collects epidemiological and behaviour data on people who come for testing.

Results

In 2022 there were 2 604 HIV cases newly diagnosed in Poland (diagnosis rate 6.88 per 100,000), including 753 among non-Polish citizens. The number of newly detected HIV infections increased by 78.2% compared to the previous year and was higher by 97.7% compared to the median in 2016-2020 years. The number of non-Polish citizens increased by 219,1%. The total number of AIDS cases was 137 (incidence 0.36 per 100,000). The HIV infection was most often detected in the age group 30-39 (36.6%) and among men (67.2%). Among cases with known transmission route, 42.9% concerned among men who had sexual contact with men and 41.9% by heterosexual contacts. The percentage of AIDS cases diagnosed at the same time with HIV diagnosis increased by more than 6 percent points in comparison to 2021.

Conclusions

In 2022 the number of newly detected HIV infections increased significantly in Poland compared to the previous year, probably due to HIV infection registered among Ukrainian migrants.

A Review of Side Effects of Artificial Preservatives on the Human Health
Authors: Al-Tameemi Zahraa A. Hussein
Published: January 2025

Food is necessary for all living humans to survive. Numerous nutrients, including proteins, lipids, carbs, vitamins, and minerals, are found in food. An organism consumes and breaks down these nutrients to create energy needed to support development and preserve regular bodily functions.
Food products can deteriorate due to microbiological, enzymatic, or chemical reactions to their surroundings. Preservatives extend the expiration of food and are also inserted into food goods to preserve quality; however, they may also have adverse side effects. Additionally, safety concerns are increasing as the need for cosmetics for teenagers and adults worldwide rises.
This review article's primary topic is the adverse effects of some specific preservatives commonly used in food and cosmetics, such as [sodium benzoate, parabens, and sulfites], to preserve or enhance their quality.

Published: January 2025

This article explores the relationship between Sufism and modern psychology, particularly in supporting mental health and spiritual harmony. Sufism, as a branch of Islamic spirituality, offers a holistic approach through practices such as tazkiyatun nafs, muraqabah, and dhikr to achieve inner peace and balance. This approach aligns with modern psychological concepts, such as emotional regulation and mindfulness, which emphasize the importance of emotional balance and life meaning. Through a literature review method, this article finds that Sufi principles can be adapted into psychological therapy to address stress, anxiety, and inner conflicts. By bridging Islamic spirituality and psychology, this article opens opportunities for deeper integration in creating holistic and value-based therapeutic approaches. This is particularly relevant in addressing the increasingly complex mental health challenges of the modern era
