A COVID-19 lehetséges következményei és katona-egészségügyi kihívásai
Authors: Opauszki Judit
Published: January 2022

A COVID-19-járvány sok szempontból megváltoztatta a mindennapokat, kérdés azonban, hogy a pandémia mennyiben érinti az iszlamista terrorszervezetek működését: az eddig többségében általuk végrehajtott lőtt- és robbantásos merényletek kiegészülnek-e a bioterrorizmussal – legyen szó a COVID19 szándékos terjesztéséről vagy más biológiai fegyverek alkalmazásáról. A vizsgált szakirodalom alapján mindkét eshetőséggel számolni kell, amit súlyosbít, hogy a zsúfolt kórházak, különösképpen katonai kórházak is a terroristák célkeresztjébe kerülhetnek. Emiatt is fontos, hogy a katona-egészségügy egyaránt felkészült legyen a lőtt, robbantásos, valamint a bioterrorizmushoz kapcsolódó tömeges sérültellátásra.

O amor tudo crê, tudo suporta? : conversas (in)docentes
Authors: Eggert Edla , Alves Márcia , Campagnaro Sara
Published: January 2022

Este é um livro de divulgação científica que tem por base os estudos feministas e de gênero. Possui quatro capítulos, em que conceitos são apresentados e discutidos, são eles: ¨cativeiros¨, ¨servidão voluntária¨, ¨patriarcado¨, ¨maternidade¨, ¨pensamento mágico¨, ¨energia vital¨. Todos baseados nos estudos de Marcela Lagarde y de los Rios, antropóloga mexicana, ainda pouco lida no Brasil, e em autoras que dialogam com esses conceitos. A cultura patriarcal é analisada sobre os modos como as mulheres aprendem a se mover, a resistir ou a se reafirmar nela. O livro é um recurso de problematização para pensar a educação das mulheres por meio de perguntas inquietantes sobre os ensinamentos sexistas automatizados no cotidiano para a manutenção do patriarcado. O amor romântico e a formação da ¨madresposa¨ são peças chave no argumento geral do texto para que a educação atual seja repensada com o compromisso de educar para a liberdade.
A return to Hayman Island: revisiting Australia’s only recorded cone snail fatality after 85 years
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Healy John
Published: January 2022

The death of Charles Hugh Garbutt from a cone snail ‘sting’ inflicted at Hayman Island on the Great Barrier Reef marked both a family tragedy and an important moment in Australian medical and malacological history. However, aside from newspaper reports and the few witness statements given at the coronial inquiry, the events of that day in June 1935 and its immediate aftermath have never been critically evaluated. As memories of what happened have either faded or been partly distorted with the passage of time, the fatality today remains only a footnote in the history of studies on the Conidae and their complex, pharmaceutically-valuable venoms. The species involved, Conus geographus Linnaeus, 1758, is now recognised as the most dangerous to humans of the Conidae and responsible for most and possibly all recorded fatalities. After 85 years, the case is revisited using available evidence including newspaper reports, relevant scientific and popular literature, witness statements, archival documents and the actual specimen responsible for the fatality. While tragic and probably avoidable, the death, via its extensive coverage by the press, undoubtedly has helped to save lives by educating a public largely unaware of the dangers from something as seemingly harmless as a sea snail. It is also concluded that Charles Garbutt, when all factors are considered, was most unfortunate to have lost his life in the way that he did. For future cone envenomations it is recommended that photography (if possible) of the specimen involved would assist both in patient reassurance and medical treatment.
The provenance of diagnostic specimens of the ‘New Guinea Singing Dog’
Authors:   University of Melbourne, Dwyer Peter , Minnegal Monica
Published: January 2022

The New Guinea Singing Dog (NGSD) has been diagnosed as a distinct taxon on the basis of (1) two live animals, thought to be wild dogs, either free-living or captive, at the times when they were obtained by Europeans, (2) cranial material from 26 dogs, captive-bred descendants of the original pair, and (3) a single skull reportedly from a free-living wild dog. The NGSD is currently regarded as a behaviourally, morphologically and genetically distinct wild dog found at scattered high-altitude locations on mainland New Guinea, isolated from places where people live and, hence, largely isolated from village dogs associated with those people. We examined historical records to show that few, if any, of the founding members from the captive population of NGSDs, or dogs that served to diagnose Canis hallstromi Troughton, 1957, were, in fact, wild dogs or recent descendants of wild dogs. The continuing insistence that high altitude, wild-living NGSDs are a discrete population of dogs is incorrect. Rather, we recommend additional studies of village-living dogs across the span of altitudes and contend that these would yield much information about what was once a pan-New Guinean population of an unusual, and archaic, form of domestic dog.
Human Praxis as Possible Innovation for Occupational Therapy Practice: An Interpretivist Description from People who Enact Praxis
Authors: van der Merwe Tania Rauch , Basson Lindi , Buschow Roxanne , Crous Tihani , Gillmer Armunay , Muller Melicia , Niemann Jean-Marie
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: The term 'human praxis' has been referred to in an array of theoretical frameworks: philosophy, institutional change, education, and critical theory. Broadly, human praxis denotes human agency towards personal and collective transformation in the wake of various kinds of constrictions, regardless of external interventions. If occupational therapy can understand the mechanisms of human praxis, it could be used as a potential therapeutic tool leading to the improvement of health and well-being within communities at large METHOD: Eight individuals actively living human praxis participated in semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling, and eligibility criteria based on a description of human praxis synthesized from literature, were employed. Six researchers independently performed a manual qualitative thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews, which served as method triangulation FINDINGS: Data analysis revealed that human praxis exists as a dynamic, and recursive two-phase process, consisting of initiators (Theme I), and continuous enablers (Theme II). In addition, seven categories (constituents) emerged from each of the two themes CONCLUSION: Human praxis can be applied in the conscious facilitation of the interdependence between the various constituents such as the individual and the collective, personal and ongoing shared responsibility, and between conditions of constraint and resilience toward self-determination and growth Keywords: wound management, hand therapy, occupational therapy, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.
Positioning Parenting Differently: The Need for Southern Perspectives
Authors: Cilliers Nicola M.
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT Despite the importance of the caregiver role in children's development and the reliance on caregivers in the therapy process, parenting has enjoyed limited attention in Occupational Therapy research. While it is gradually gaining more attention and being appreciated for its complexity, little is known about how parenting unfolds in the margins. Dominant parenting norms promoted globally are largely Eurocentric1 and the resultant white, middle class positioning of professional discourse may offer a limited perspective on parenting. This may sustain incoherence between how parenting unfolds in context and the therapeutic understanding of, and response to, families' needs. This opinion piece aims to promote the importance of appreciating and exploring southern parenting perspectives for meaningful work with families. Emerging southern epistemologies reveal several relational and contextual complexities, situated within persisting structural inequalities, that characterise everyday life for many families. Along with cultural and intergenerational influences to be navigated in context, these factors create a cumulatively challenging parenting experience and shape families' subsequent occupational engagement. These insights not only demand the broadening of the parenting knowledge base but may hold implications for how parenting is understood as an occupation in the margins. Appreciating and pursuing plurality in parenting perspectives is essential to facilitate knowledge generation that speaks to those routinely excluded from the theorising process and to inform more responsive intervention. Keywords: parenting, human occupation, southern epistemologies, human relations, structural inequality.
VOID EVOLUTION BEHAVIOR AND CLOSURE CRITERION INSIDE LARGE SHAFT FORGINGS DURING A FORGING PROCESS
Authors: Jiao Yongxing , Zhou Cunlong , Liu Jiansheng , Zhang Xuezhong , He Wenwu
Published: January 2022

In this study, the effects of different void positions, void shapes and sizes on the evolution of voids were discussed in detail using experiments and simulations. The results show that the influence of the void size on the void closure can be ignored, while the void position and void shape have a great influence on the closure of a void. Considering the complexity of the void-shape change in a forging process, we proposed a quantitative expression of the void-shape coefficient, which is affected by the effective stress and effective strain. Meanwhile, the void-shape evaluation parameter, defined as a function of the stress deviator, effective strain and effective stress, was proposed to describe the changes in the void aspect ratio. Finally, WHF (wide die heavy blow) forging experiments were conducted using a 5MN hydraulic press to verify the numerical-simulation results. Based on the experimental and simulation results, a new mathematical model for void-closure determination was established during a forging process of large shaft forgings. The experimental results were consistent with the simulation results, showing that the void-closure model can accurately determine whether a void is closed or not.
MICROSTRUCTURE EVOLUTION OF IN SITU COMPOSITE COATINGS FABRICATED BY LASER CLADDING WITH DIFFERENT POWERS
Authors: Zhang Youfeng , Han Guangyu , He Shasha , Yang Wanwan
Published: January 2022

In situ reaction-synthesized TiB-reinforced titanium-matrix composite coatings were fabricated using the rapid, non-equilibrium synthesis technique of laser cladding. The Ti and B mixture was the original powders, while the Ti-matrix composite coatings enhanced with TiB were treated on a Ti-6Al-4V surface with different laser scan powers of 2.5 kW, 3.0 kW and 3.5 kW. The phase composition, microstructure evaluation, and microhardness of the cladding coatings were investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microhardness. The composite coatings mainly consist of black fishbone-shaped -Ti dendrites and white needle-like TiB phases. The microstructure evolution from the top to the bottom of the coatings was investigated. The TiB reinforcement dispersed homogeneously in the composite coatings and a fine microstructure was obtained in a sample fabricated with a laser power of 3.0 kW. The microhardness of the cladding coatings fabricated by different powders was over 2-fold greater than that of the Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy substrate and achieved a maximum average of 792.2 HV with the laser power of 3.0 kW. The microstructures and properties of the coatings were changed by adjusting of the laser cladding power. The effects of the laser scan power on the microstructure, hardness and friction and wear properties of the laser cladding coatings were investigated and discussed.
The effect of Kathak Dance Movement on Balance and Gait in Parkinson’s Disease- An Experimental Study
Authors: Metange Deepika , Waghule Loveleen , Deo Medha
Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION: Difficulties with gait and balance are common among individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Several different exercise programs have been suggested to address balance and gait problems to improve the quality of life and patient compliance with PD exercises. Dance may be an effective tool for addressing these problems because it includes key elements of dynamic balance, can improve functional mobility, and is, at the same time, enjoyable and engaging. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of Kathak dance movement in addition to conventional physiotherapy on balance and gait in Parkinson's disease patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 44 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease were included in the study with a mean age of 63.20 + 8.5 years. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, the control group received conventional physiotherapy, and the experimental group received the same along with Kathak dance movements which were Tatkar and Gatnikas. The intervention was given three days a week for four weeks. Pre-and post-assessment for balance and gait was assessed by scales including TUG test, Tinetti, FOG-Q, and UPDRS-III. The within-group comparison was made using Wilcoxon Signed rank test and between the group using the Mann Whitney U test to see the effect of treatment intervention. Results: The mean age of participants for both groups were 64.18±8.53 and 62.23±6.21, respectively. The comparison showed a significant difference in TUG, Tinetti, and FOG-Q within the group with p<0.01. The between-group comparison showed no significant difference between the two treatments interventions with p=0.361 for TUG, p=0.479 for Tinetti, and p= 0.73 for FOG-Q. CONCLUSION: Both groups showed similar improvements in balance and gait in PD patients. Thus, we conclude that the Kathak Dance movement can be used to complement conventional physical therapy exercises.

Published: January 2022

The Secretary General of the United Nations described the impact of COVID-19-related school closures as a “generational catastrophe.” What will be the legacy of the 2020–2021 pandemic-related disruptions in 5, 10, 20 years from now, as regards education and well-being of children and youth? Addressing the disproportionate impact on those growing up in socio-economically disadvantaged areas or on those with pre-existing learning challenges is key to sustainable recovery. This commentary builds on the four literature reviews presented in thisSpecial Section on a Pandemic Recovery Plan for Childrenand proposes strategies to understand and attenuate the impact of pandemic-related lockdown measures. Importantly, we need a monitoring strategy to assess indicators of child development in three areas of functioning: education and learning, health, and well-being (or mental health). Surveillance needs to begin in the critical prenatal period (with prenatal care to expectant parents), and extend to the end of formal high school/college education. Based on child development indicators, a stepped strategy for intervention, ranging from all-encompassing population-based health and education promotion initiatives to targeted prevention programs and targeted remedial/therapeutic interventions, can be offered. As proposed in the UN plan for recovery, ensuring healthy present and future generations involves a concerted and intensive intersectoral effort from the education, health, psychosocial services, and scientific communities.
Pirinanın yüksek kükürtlü linyitlerle birlikte kabarcıklı akışkan yatakta yakılması ve sinterleşme probleminin incelenmesi
Authors: ÇELİKLER Cansu , VAROL Murat
Published: January 2022

Yatak malzemesinin topaklaşması, alkali içeriği yüksek biyokütlelerin akışkan yatak yakma sistemlerinde yakılması sırasında görülen bir işletme problemidir. Çalışmada biyokütle olarak yüksek alkali içeriği nedeniyle pirina kullanılmıştır. Topaklaşmayı önlemek amacıyla pirina Türk linyitleri ile birlikte yakılmıştır. Yanma deneyleri, 100 mm iç çapa, 1800 mm yüksekliğe sahip laboratuvar ölçekli kabarcıklı bir akışkan yatak yakma sisteminde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deneyler sonunda dip külleri, dip küllerinin elementel içeriği ve fazlarının belirlenmesi için X-Işını Floresans (XRF), Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu-Enerji Dağılımlı X-ışını Spektroskopisi (SEM-EDS), Elektron Prob Mikro Analiz (EPMA) ve X-Işını Dağılımı (XRD) analizlerine tabi tutulmuştur. Birlikte yakma deneylerinde herhangi bir işletme problemi görülmemiştir. Birlikte yakma deneylerinden elde edilen dip küllerinde erime noktası düşük bileşiklere rastlanmamıştır. Bu durum, kullanılan linyitlerin yüksek kükürt içerikleri (Tunçbilek: %1,64; Çan: %4,51) ile açıklanmaktadır. Yüksek alkali içeriğine sahip pirinanın kükürt içeriği yüksek linyitlerle birlikte yakılması Potasyum Silikat oluşumunu engellemiş ve akabinde dip külünün topaklaşmasına mani olmuştur. Pirina ve Çan linyiti karışım deneyi için dip külünde potasyum elementi KAlSiO4 formunda görülmüştür.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath

Introduction. Skin melanoma in children is a very rare disease that differs in many aspects from skin melanoma in adults. The conventional criteria for clinical diagnostics of melanoma observed in adults are often absent in children and adolescents, making it difficult to make a diagnosis on time.

Objective. The aim of the study is to assess the clinical significance of various diagnostic criteria in the analysis of a rare case of congenital pigment skin neoplasm in a child.

Materials and methods. The clinical case of a congenital melanocytic lesion in a wrist joint area in a girl 5 months old.

During the primary diagnosis, an ultrasound examination was carried out. The tumor excision was performed with replacement of defect using moved skin flap. Histological, genetic and cytogenetic (fluorescent hybridization in situ, FISH) examination of a tumor sample was carried out.

Results. The histological examination revealed areas of cellular atypia with high mitotic activity and the presence of pathological mitoses. According to FISH results, an increase in the copy of the RREB1 gene was observed in the sample, which may indicate amplification of this chromosome region. Genetic testing revealed a Q61K mutation in the NRAS gene.

Conclusion. Despite the presence of histological features of neoplasm malignancy and ambiguous FISH results, the described case should be considered as congenital nevus with atypical proliferative nodes based on combination of clinical data (early age at the time of surgery, expansive growth pattern, multiplicity of nodes, lack of necrosis, long relapse-free period).

Objective. The  aim  of  this  study  is  to  improve  the  results  of  surgical  treatment  of  lung  metastases  of  soft  tissue sarcomas, to analyze the factors that may affect the effectiveness of surgical treatment.

Materials and methods.The study included 80 patients with metastases of bone sarcomas in the lungs, who received treatment in the period from 2000 to 2013. Among the patients there were 42 (48,5 %) men and 38 (51,5 %) women.

The median age at diagnosis was 33 years (range 17 to 75). The majority of soft tissue sarcomas were represented by malignant  fibrous  histiocytoma  (27,5 %)  and  synovial  sarcoma  (28,5 %).  Almost  all  patients  (96 %)  underwent chemotherapy before surgery for lung metastases. The indication for surgery in most cases (52,5 %) was metastases in the lungs as the only manifestation of the disease. Most often, operations were performed with unilateral lung lesions (67,5 %).

Results. Atypical  lung  resections  58  (72 %)  were  the  most  frequently  performed  volume  of  surgical  intervention, pneumonectomy, bilobectomy and lobectomy were used in 17 (22 %) cases. Combined resections were performed in six patients. Postoperative complications were observed in 6 (7,5 %) patients. The radicality of the operations performed in the study group was 93 % in the R0 volume, in the R1 volume, 4 % of the operations were performed, in the R2 volume, 1 patient was operated on. The most frequent postoperative complication was pneumonia, one patient died in the early postoperative period from complications of surgery. The median follow-up in the study group was 49,2 months (from 3,5 to 239 months). The overall 5-year survival rate in the study group was 41,5 %. Five-year overall survival was more than 30 % higher in the group of patients who had less than 3 metastatic lesions at baseline. Only the following factors have a direct impact on OS indicators: the number and size of metastatic foci, radical removal of metastatic foci, the effect of previous chemotherapy, and the timing of the development of metastatic lesions. In our study, there were also no differences in OS and PFS depending on the surgical approach used.

Conclusion.Surgical treatment is currently fully justified and the only really effective treatment method that can lead to longer-term survival in patients with metastases of sarcomas in the lungs, despite the fact that some metastases have  a  clear  resistance  to  all  types  of  conservative  therapy,  while  The  best  treatment  results  are  achieved  in  the presence of a long disease-free interval (DFI), a small number of metastases and their removal in the R0 volume.

Authors: TUT Turgut
Published: January 2022

In this work, optimization of the nanopillar arrays and thin films coated on silicon substrate has been investigated in order to minimize the optical reflection loss from the silicon substrate surface. Nano-pillars's height, incline angle, array properties are systematically optimized. Full field Finite Difference Time Domain method is used to simulate EM fields and calculate the reflection from the modified nanostructured substrate surfaces in 400nm-1100nm spectral range. Optimization recipe is clearly presented and it is not only useful for square arrays but for regular arrays of nano-pillars in general.
Simulating Leakage Impact on Steel Industrial System Functionality
Authors: Bin Saion Mohamad Pazlin
Published: January 2022

Steels exhibiting ultralow sulfur content tend to gain increasing usage or application in manufacturing pipes used in oil transportation, as well as offshore platform construction. For these systems or platforms, it is worth indicating that they call for high resistance and impact strength relative to the formation of lamellar cracks. In this study, it was documented that when a refinery is compromised, the resultant fluids that are released tend to cause a loss in the refinery’s transportation capability. This outcome suggests that there is likely to be a decrease in the efficiency of transmission. Notably, the study examined the extent to which a leak presence affects flow behavior in the context of annular mist flow regime’s deep water production flow line. Another context that was investigated involved slug and stratified flow regimes. From the results, given the slug and annular flow regimes, any leakage could alter the pattern of material flow.

Mean-Variance Programming Framework in Markowitz Modeling
Authors: Bin Saion Mohamad Pazlin
Published: January 2022

For mathematical frameworks in place, which are applied to portfolio optimization problems, the majority come in the form of risk minimization – relative to the return parameter. When it comes to the quadratic programming framework, in relation to Markowitz, its associated challenges have been countered when considerations are made to recent trends in algorithmic scholarly investigations. In particular, a linear risk function has been introduced, especially in response to the need to address problems of portfolio selection, given real constraints. In this study, the main aim is to address the problem of portfolio selection in relation to minimum transaction lots. Also, the paper focuses on an improved search model that is applied to active constrained, whereby solutions are developed for the integer programming algorithm. The proposed model is that which focuses on the relaxed problem’s solution initially, before establishing solutions that are deemed closer to the continuous solutions..

One of the important areas of modern neurology is movement disorders, due to their negative impact on the daily activity and quality of life of patients. Dystonia is the third most common extrapyramidal disease. Often, dystonia is accompanied by trembling hyperkinesis, however, known data on dystonic tremor are scattered and not systematized, and its fixation causes difficulties due to the lack of clear tremorographic characteristics. Many issues of prevalence, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis with other types of tremor, as well as the effectiveness of therapy also remain insufficiently studied. This review focuses on the literature on dystonic tremor.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND. Analysis of the literature indicates the need for a detailed study of the features of the decision-making process, adverse experiences in childhood, the severity of depression in adolescents with truly suicidal and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior.
AIM. To determine the level of depression, unfavorable childhood experience, the characteristics of the process of forming preferences, the choice of executive actions and the assessment of results in conditions of uncertainty in adolescents with suicidal attempts and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. From September 2019 to May 2020, clinical and experimental psychological methods (semi-structured interview, A. Beck Depression Scale, Columbian Suicidal Intentions Severity Scale, Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire, Iowa Gambling Task) examined adolescents from14 to 17 years: 30 persons with suicidal self-harm (mean age 16.1 years, 26 girls, 4 boys) and 32 persons with non-suicidal self-harm (mean age 16.3 years, 26 girls, 6 boys). Statistical processing was carried out using the KolmogorovSmirnov and Liliefors tests, the Leuven test, the MannWhitney U-test, and the two-sided Fisher test.
RESULTS. All examined patients showed manifestations of depression of different levels. In the group with suicidal attempts, the manifestations of depression were significantly more pronounced, and they also had significantly more adverse childhood experience factors. The decision-making process is more effective in individuals with non-suicidal self-injurious behavior than in the group with suicidal auto-aggression (although the difference does not reach statistical significance).
CONCLUSIONS. Thus, we have determined the level of depression, unfavorable childhood experience, peculiarities of the process of formation of preferences, choice of executive actions and assessment of results in conditions of uncertainty in adolescents with suicidal attempts and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior.

BACKGROUND. Imbalance in the activity of neurotransmitter systems, mitochondrial impairment, and oxidative stress are potential neurobiological factors in the schizophrenia development.
AIM. To test the hypothesis about the possibility of a subgroup selection from patients with late-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders, for which the use of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate as an adjunctive to antipsychotic therapy would be the most effective in relation to symptoms that are relatively more pronounced in patients of this subgroup.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. 43 patients (women and men) aged 4578 years with late-onset (after 40 years) schizophrenia spectrum disorders were examined using clinical psychopathological, psychometric, biochemical and statistical research methods. Enzymatic activities of cytochrome C-oxidase, glutamate dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase and glutathione-S-transferase were assessed in blood cells twice (on a patient admission to the hospital and after a 28-day treatment course).
RESULTS. Criteria for a patient assignment to the subgroup for ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate prescription were: more prominent side effects of pharmacotherapy, predominance of anxiety-hypochondriac symptoms and a lesser severity of psychosis. Before the treatment starting, the subgroup to which ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate was prescribed significantly differed in the activity of platelet glutamate dehydrogenase (p=0.031), glutathione-S-transferase (p=0.005), and erythrocyte glutathione reductase (p=0.045). As a result of the treatment course, the severity of symptoms by which the patients receiving ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate significantly differed before the starting the treatment, became undistinguished from those in the rest examined patients. After the treatment course, no significant differences in enzymatic activities were found in patients treated with ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate from those in other patients.
CONCLUSION. This study confirmed the clinical validity of using a medicine with antioxidant properties as an adjunctive therapy to the main treatment in the selected subgroup of patients.
