Posterior urethral valve is the most common cause of infravesical obstruction in male newborns. Spontaneous rupture of the urinary collecting system with urine extravasation is a rare complication in this group of children. We present a case of urinoma in a patient with a posterior urethral valve at 4 weeks of age with renal insufficiency. The transurethral destruction of the valve and evacuation of the urinoma contributed to the restoration of the urodynamics and recovery of renal function. Urinoma is a rare manifestation of this defect, and its significance for predicting the preservation of renal function has not been fully determined yet. Reports about the occurrence of urine extravasation in the posterior urethral valve and studying kidney function in the long-term period can clarify the significance of this spontaneous mechanism of urinary tract decompression.

BACKGROUND: Structural features of the patients vascular system can cause unintended complications when providing vascular access and can disorient the specialist in assessing the location of the installed catheter. This study aimed to demonstrate anatomical features of the vascular system of the superior vena cava and diagnostic steps when providing vascular access in a child.
CASE REPORT: Patient K (3 years old) was on planned maintenance of long-term venous access. Preliminary ultrasound examination of the superior vena cava did not reveal any abnormalities. Function of the right internal jugular vein under ultrasound control was performed without technical difficulties; a J-formed guidewire was inserted into the vessel lumen. X-ray control revealed its projection in the left heart, which was regarded as a technical complication, so the conductor was removed. A further attempt to insert a catheter through the right subclavian vein led to the same result. For a more accurate diagnosis, the child underwent computed angiography of the superior vena cava system. Congenital anomalies of the vascular system included aplasia of the superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava. Considering the information obtained, the Broviac catheter was implanted under ultrasound control through the left internal jugular vein without technical difficulties with the installation of the distal end of the catheter into the left brachiocephalic vein under X-ray control.
CONCLUSION: A thorough multifaceted study of the vascular anatomy helps solve the anatomical issues by ensuring vascular access and preventing the risks of complications.

Common and atypical otorhinolaryngological findings of Covid-19
Authors: SARI Neslihan , ARSLAN Nurgül , BAYRAM DEĞER Vasfiye
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Several atypical presentations of COVID-19 like anosmia, conjuctivitis, and gastrointestinal findings are seen in the literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the common and atypical symptoms of COVID-19 among the patients admitted to the otorhinolaryngology (ENT) outpatient clinic.

Materials and Methods: This case series was conducted with 49 patients who applied to hospital between April 1, 2020 and April 30, 2020. Common and atypical otolaryngological findings were recorded. Sociodemographic findings and blood parameters were also evaluated.

Results: Of the patients, 59.18% were aged 40 and over, 46.94% were of the A blood group, 55.10% were male and 24.49% were smokers, 51.02% had a chronic disease. Among typical symptoms; fever (71.43%), a dry cough (46.94%), shortness of breath (42.86%) was seen. Diarrhea (48.98%), runny nose (51.02%), nasal congestion (42.85%), sore throat (22.44%), headaches (32.65%), 18.36% olfactory disorder, 26.53% gustatory disturbance were noted. Olfactory and gustatory disturbances are found to be related to good prognosis and mild clinical course. The difference between Hg and D–dimer levels of the female and male patients were found to be statistically significant. The D-dimer levels determined in the present study were higher than those reported in the literature.

Conclusion: While COVID-19 present with common symptoms, sometimes atypical symptoms can be the only finding during initial application to the hospital. Olfactory and gustatory disturbances point to the effects of COVID-19 on neurons. Neuronal effects like olfactory and gustatory disturbances should be closely monitored in COVID-19 patients in long term.
Complex regional pain syndrome, CRPS
Authors:   Reykjalundur, Rehabilitation center, Mosfellsbæ, Iceland., Guðmundsson Kristján G.
Published: May 2021

Complex regional pain syndrome, CRPS, occurs with severe disabling pain, usually in the leg or hand, coupled with changes in pain perception, hyperesthesia and allodynia. There is as well, edema, changes in the color of the skin, trophic changes, and dystonia. The pain syndrome is often triggered by minor trauma. The pain perception is severe and out of context with the initial trauma. The syndrome is rare, occurring in a population-based study in the United States, with an incidence of only 5.5 per hundred thousand people per year. The incidence in Iceland, from the National Register of Diseases from the Directorate of Health, was 1.3 per annum, per hundred thousand people. The exact etiology of the disease is unknown. It is presumed that inflammation is the cause, often resulting from an autoimmune reaction. The term pain sensitization is also used to describe the pain mechanism, both in peripheral nerves and in the central nervous system. There are changes and displacement of the area of the neocortex that is coupled with pain perception. The criteria of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) were the basis for the diagnosis. Interdisciplinary team management according to the biopsychosocial model is thought to be the preferred treatment approach. The members of the team are occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, psychologists, nurses, and medical doctors, augmented by other disciplines as needed. One treatment option is mirror therapy, where the diseased extremity is held behind a mirror during the training and the patient observes movements of the healthy extremity. Initially treatment is aimed at treating the inflammation, often with NSAID drugs, or with steroids. Medical treatments are the same as apply for the treatment of neural pain, with drugs such as Gabapentin, or anti depressive agents as duloxetine or imipramine. There is an indication to use bisphosphonates such as alendronate, especially if there is osteoporosis. It is assumed that the function of the NMDA receptor has changed in the central nervous system and treatment with intravenous ketamine, is an option. Spinal cord stimulation of the dorsal horns of the spine has been effective as well. In majority of cases the syndrome resolves in the first two years, but for the rest the prognosis is dire, symptoms getting worse and persisting for years and even decades.

Objective: The association between sex hormones and bone mineral density (BMD) has been studied in sedentary women, whereas only few studies have evaluated trained females. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the influence of sex hormones on BMD in well-trained females with different hormonal profiles: eumenorrheic females, oral contraceptive (OC) users and postmenopausal women. The secondary purpose was to determine if maximal oxygen consumption (V̇ O2max) or maximal back squat strength (1RM) could be good predictors of BMD in this population. Methods: Sixty-eight eumenorrheic, forty-one monophasic-OC users and sixteen postmenopausal well-trained females participated in this study. A Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry scan (DXA), a basal blood sample and a maximal back squat and/or a maximal treadmill test were performed. In order to measure all volunteers under similar hormonal conditions (low sex hormone levels), all tests were carried out during the early follicular phase for the eumenorrheic females and in the withdrawal phase for the OC group. Results: One way ANCOVA reported lower values of BMD in postmenopausal (1.13±0.07g/cm2) than in eumenorrheic (1.19±0.08 g/cm2) (p=0.003) and OC users (1.17±0.07 g/cm2) (p=0.030). Pearson´s correlation showed a positive relationship between BMD and 1RM (p<0.001), but not with V̇ O2max. Conclusions: Lower BMD has been reported in postmenopausal women compared to both, eumenorrheic females and OC users. BMD loss after menopause seems to be not fully compensated by exercise, but this could effectively mitigate it. Moreover, 1RM back squat reported a slight association to BMD. Hence, strength training may be the best choice to prevent BMD loss.
Pain catastrophizing in Flamenco dance students at professional dance conservatories
Authors: Baena-Chicón Irene , Gómez-Lozano Sebastián , Abenza Cano Lucía , Vargas-Macías Alfonso
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Flamenco is marked by the deep emotional impression it creates and its percussive footwork steps, performed in traditional high-heeled shoes. It places high demands on the dancer which leads to risks of injury, pain and associated emotional repercussions. Catastrophizing is a key factor determining how the context is valued and pain is experienced. The objectives of this study were: firstly, to analyse the general incidence of catastrophizing among flamenco students and secondly, to determine the repercussion this has on catastrophizing in professional practice among dancers who perform on stage even though they are still students. Material and method: The sample analyses 70 students from the Conservatorios Profesionales de Danza de Andalucía (Andalusian Professional Conservatoires for Dance) (17.67±5.65 years old); 44.29% (n=31) also danced professionally. The dancers completed the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). Results: The results do not show significant differences in categories: rumination, magnification, nor in the overall catastrophizing of pain when comparing participants who were dance students with those who also danced professionally. However, in terms of helplessness, there is a significant difference between both groups, with those who danced both as students and professionals displaying higher levels of helplessness than those who were only students. Conclusions: The artistic professional development on stage before spectators can trigger anxiety states that can have a directly proportional association to the levels of catastrophism. Perhaps being a student at the same time as dancing professionally signifies a greater physical and mental load which can lead to certain psychological processes.

Authors: Teixeira Evandro Camargos , Pinto Vinícius De Oliveira
Published: May 2021

As condições de saúde se configuram como um dos principais determinantes do processo de crescimento econômico dos países. Levando em consideração a referida relevância, o presente estudo analisa esta relação para o Brasil no período 1996-2010. Para tal, é utilizado um modelo com dados em painel dinâmico, considerando a relação endógena entre saúde e crescimento econômico. Para a construção da variável que caracteriza as condições de saúde foram agregadas duas medidas importantes de saúde: taxa de médicos por 1.000 habitantes (insumo) e taxa de mortalidade infantil (resultado das condições de saúde), o que denota uma contribuição do estudo na literatura. No processo de junção das variáveis foi utilizada a técnica multivariada de Análise Fatorial. O principal resultado demonstra que as condições de saúde impactam positivamente o processo de crescimento econômico, sendo os efeitos observados diretamente, através do aumento da produtividade e oferta de trabalho; e indiretamente, via melhorias dos níveis de escolaridade e maior acumulação de capital físico.

El presente artículo busca dar cuenta del estado desituación de la violencia de género en la CiudadAutónoma de Buenos Aires y las políticas públicasexplícitas llevadas a cabo por el Gobierno dela ciudad para intervenir, prevenir y atender estaproblemática. En primer lugar, como objetivo descriptivopretendemos dar cuenta de la magnitud deeste fenómeno. En segundo lugar, nos proponemosrealizar un diagnóstico de las principales accionesdel gobierno de la CABA contra la violencia degénero y de los dispositivos con los que cuenta, enparticular la Dirección General de la Mujer y laspolíticas que de este organismo se desprenden. Entercer lugar, el diagnóstico de las políticas públicasgeneradas para combatir la violencia hacia lasmujeres en la CABA nos permite arribar a algunasinferencias con respecto al tratamiento de la violenciade género desde el Gobierno de la CiudadAutónoma de Buenos Aires (GCABA). El períodoelegido para el diagnóstico y el análisis cubre 2015hasta el último trimestre de 2017. Consideramospertinente utilizar el año 2015 como referencia ya que en ese año se publica el “Registro Nacionalde Femicidios de la Justicia Argentina”, donde porprimera vez se conocen datos oficiales sobre los femicidiosen la República Argentina. A su vez, 2015es un año fundamental, ya que se realizó la multitudinariaconcentración de Ni una Menos, quepermitió visibilizar la magnitud y estructuralidadde la violencia de género en nuestro país. La hipótesisque guía esta investigación es que el GCABArealiza un tratamiento deficiente de la violencia degénero, ya que plantea una perspectiva fundamentalmentede asistencia y, a su vez, de manera muylimitada en su alcance. La principal razón de elloes la falta de presupuesto. Esto se traduce en quelas políticas públicas no resuelven el problema alque se intenta dar respuesta y dejan por fuera de suintervención distintas aristas que son constitutivasde la violencia de género.

¿Una comunidad profesional de la obra pública? Empresarios, ingenieros y funcionarios durante la última dictadura (1976 - 1981)
Authors: Menazzi Lujan
Published: May 2021

El artículo indaga la existencia de una comunidad profesional vinculada al desarrollo de obras públicas, durante los primeros cinco años de la última dictadura militar argentina. Para ello se analizan las formaciones disciplinares, carreras profesionales, instancias de encuentro, diálogos, críticas e intercambios de los actores del universo de la obra pública a los fines de determinar perspectivas comunes respecto al sector, su historia y sus necesidades, así como trayectorias y pertenencias entrecruzadas en ámbitos públicos y privados. También, se busca indagar en qué medida tuvo esa comunidad profesional oportunidad de materializar sus orientaciones, cuán porosas fueron las fronteras entre el Estado y la esfera privada en el área de la obra pública en esa coyuntura y las continuidades y rupturas con períodos previos y posteriores.

Se ha hablado mucho de la seguridad y se ha debatidomás aún, pero argumentos sólidos como losque se encuentran en el libro Controlar el Delito,Controlar la Sociedad,  no son tan frecuentes. El autorde esta obra, Dario Melossi, nos deleita con unatesis por demás interesante: los procesos delictivos yel orden reproductivo de la sociedad se encuentraninextricablemente unidos.El libro se encuentra estructurado en tres partesprincipales. La primera se corresponde con unalectura teórica del abordaje de los primeros criminólogoso sociólogos respecto a la pena y la desviación.Desde Beccaria hasta Durkheim todos losautores clásicos pasan por la pluma de Melossi. Losdiferentes estudiosos partieron de la necesidad decrear una teoría que explique el crimen como unadesviación al contrato social. En este sentido, comoel autor explica, el capitalismo y el sistema penitenciario,como así la literatura especializada encriminología no pueden estudiarse por separado.
Políticas e intervención institucional sobre producción y empleo en municipios del Conurbano Bonaerense
Authors: Carmona Rodrigo , Couto Bárbara
Published: May 2021

El trabajo busca caracterizar el entramado político- institucional de apoyo al desarrollo productivo y el empleo local en municipios del noroeste del Conurbano Bonaerense (San Miguel, Malvinas Argentinas y José C. Paz) durante el período 2009- 2017. Se pretende analizar cómo se reconfigura allí la matriz de políticas orientadas a la producción a partir del cambio de administración nacional y provincial ocurrido en 2015. Se parte del supuesto que si bien los factores económicos y sociales del territorio condicionan el despliegue de las políticas, el alcance de dichas intervenciones varía sustantivamente en función de otros factores, como las relaciones intergubernamentales entabladas por el gobierno local, las redes de organizaciones/actores a nivel territorial y las capacidades o grados de consolidación institucional de la gestión municipal.
La Evaluación. Una mirada desde América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Pichardo Muñiz Arlette
Published: May 2021

En las últimas décadas en América Latina y el Caribe emerge un marcado interés por la evaluación de y desde la gestión pública. No obstante, el devenir de la práctica de la evaluación discurre desde hace más de medio siglo como una especie de eslabón invisible, emergiendo o “sumergiéndose” de distintas maneras sin que, hasta el momento, se avizore una sincronía de condiciones requeridas (voluntad política, capacidad técnica, desarrollo institucional y otras) para comprometer su visibilidad de manera sostenida. En este artículo, se identifican, caracterizan y sistematizan cursos de acción o recorridos, con sus respectivos itinerarios e intersecciones, que permiten decantar características o atributos de modelos de evaluación, desde los cuales se derivan las principales conceptualizaciones que permiten entender las prácticas y pautas más destacadas en los patrones de evaluación vigentes en el imaginario institucional y societario. El artículo tiene como propósito principal llamar la atención sobre los contenidos y formas de expresión de tales patrones y su herencia subsistente, ya que no siempre se tiene conciencia de ello, lo que se traduce en yuxtaposición o superposición de enfoques, métodos e indicadores de evaluación. Situación ésta que incide en las posibilidades de fortalecimiento y consolidación de una cultura de evaluación como propósito de futuro y de largo alcance.

A sensory landscape of place as an invitation to belonging in early childhood settings
Authors: Kahuroa Raella
Published: May 2021

This article analyses data from a study that explored the role of early childhood education in supporting a sense of belonging for immigrant children and families in Aotearoa New Zealand, whilst sustaining their connections with homes and homelands. We draw on teachers’ documentation of curriculum experiences, focus group discussions, and interviews to consider ways in which teachers purposely integrated sensory experiences from children’s home countries within the curriculum in order to generate a sense of belonging. After introducing the topic and relevant literature, we describe the research design for the study and characteristics of the four participating early childhood centres. We then summarise representative comments about incorporation of the five senses within the centres, and set up an extended vignette of one centre. We assert that the sensory landscape of a place is a taken-for-granted and thus a largely overlooked aspect of early childhood pedagogy worthy of direct theory and practice attention.
Cultural and speech characteristics of the sounding word: A critical look at modern television speech

Published: May 2021

The article presents the results of a study of modern oral television speech in terms of its conformity / non-conformity with the norms of the literary language. The aim of the study was to establish the characteristics of the cultural-speech situation of television journalistic discourse. The objectives of the study are to identify and systematize the parameters of the violation of the language norm in the speech of educated people – T.V. journalists. The main methods of the undertaken research are observation, analysis, systematization, comparison, interpretation, generalization. The material of the study are the texts of the "News" and "Political talk show" genres, daily shown on the air of central Russian channels It has been established that violations of the norm of the literary language occur at all levels of the language system: phonetic, morphological, lexical, syntactic, as well as the level of textual organization of the utterance, which leads to the logical errors. As a result of the analysis, the authors come to the following conclusions: 1) modern television language comes into conflict with the canons of normative communication; 2) an avalanche-like violation of literary norms no longer testifies the democratization of the language, but its vulgarization, often a deliberate decrease in the cultural level of speech by journalists; 3) the turbulence of the norm in modern mass communication creates the conditions for the loss of the meaning- distinctive capabilities of linguistic units, for the weakening of the meaning of the sense-organizing rules for the combination of utterance components.

Published: May 2021

In this article, we are trying to analyze the connection between Mentality and TenseAspect Verb Forms both in Russian and English Languages. The main task of our research is to reveal analytically what this or that form of the verb means in English and what meaning can the similar verb form be understood in Russian. The results of this study in the form of recommendations for achieving maximum pragmatic effect in the translation of English and Russian texts can be a good help for interpreters. Moreover, analyzing language through the prism of mentalities allows us to gain a deeper understanding of linguistic phenomena and develop a strategy to facilitate the process of learning English. The purpose of this study is to analyze the nature of verb as the most difficult section of the grammar from the perspective of reflecting the mentality in its grammatical forms and semantic meanings both in Russian and in English to create a list of recommendations that contribute to the correct understanding of English texts and their adequate translation

The article establishes the linguacultural gender specifics of the British song slang. All languages are constantly changing, slang invades the vocabulary of people (male and female). Of research, interest is the definition of slang, its origin, the vital need for human communication. The purpose of the study is to identify the gender characteristics of British song slang. Slang as a language system of modern linguistics is considered. In the article, main features and gender characteristics of British slang are described. The authors analyze the song slang of female and male performers and compare the song slang of performers of both sexes. The methods of research are descriptive method, comparative analysis, definitional analysis, lexical and semantic analysis, lexical and grammatical analysis, stylistic analysis, interpretive analysis, quantitative analysis, involving a continuous sample. The material of the study was songs by modern British male and female performers. The theoretical significance of the study is to identify the features of modern British song slang. Research results contribute to the development of lexicology and stylistics of the English language, to contrastive linguistics, linguoculturology. The establishment of the gender specificity of British musical slang contributes to the development of linguistic gender studies. The practical application of the research results is revealed in the possibility of teaching courses in English lexicology, stylistics, and gender linguistics, as well as compiling a linguistic dictionary of modern musical culture.

The article examines linguostylistic specifics of the pragmatical and symbolic realization of the poetic discourse based on English. As the purpose of the work, we analyzed the use of linguistic means of symbolization in the English poetic discourse in the linguopragmatic aspect. The article discusses the importance of stylistic means in English for poetic influence on the addressee. In analyzing verses from pragmalinguistic side is necessary to show their stylistic peculiarities. We did a contextual analysis of poetic works at the text and hypotext levels using the method of symbolic interpretation, stylistic analysis, and linguopragmatic analysis. As the material of the study, we analyzed the poetic works of English poets. The theoretical significance of research results is to identify linguistic specifics of pragmatic and symbol realization of the poetic discourse in the English linguoculture. The study contributes to the development of discursive linguistics, pragmalinguistics, lexicology and stylistics of English, theory of linguistics, linguoculturology. In practical terms, results can be used in teaching the theory of discourse, pragmalinguistics, linguistic analysis of the poetic text, lexicology, and stylistics of English.
International military cooperation as an impetus for enriching terminological dictionaries: the English-Ukrainian context

Published: May 2021

The article focuses on the problem of successful communication in the course of military translation. The significant part of this process is a translation of numerous military terms, acronyms, and abbreviations where a translator must consider the context of the military document to ensure the right translation, which is as close as possible to the original text meaning. The research is based on the method of scientific observation during the classes and practical exercises in cooperation with NATO officers, the descriptive method, the method of comparison, which was used in the analysis of many textbooks and scientific articles. The use of the specific method of distributive analysis allowed the consideration of the context-dependent military terms and abbreviations. This paper presents the results of the research, including, in particular, the outlining of the classification of military terms and abbreviations, accentuation on the skills and knowledge which are important for producing a correct translation of the military terms and abbreviations which, in its turn, may have correspondents in a target language or may not have ones. Last but not least, the article provides the most striking instances of translating military terms and abbreviations grouped by their types. Reviewing the results, one can consider military translation as a context-based linguistic activity to a significant degree. The translator should have wide knowledge in the military sphere generally and in a concrete object of translation in part: artillery, ammo, IT-technologies etc. Besides English, itself is a language that develops exponentially, which invokes the growth of a variety of military terminology. As known, English is one of the two official languages of NATO. However, there are some differences in vocabulary and stylistic usage between the native languages of the Alliance member countries and English, so translators must take it into account in order to avoid misunderstandings

This article is devoted to the study of e-learning terminology in modern English. The processes of globalization and digitalization in the field of education and the rapid development of new Internet technologies have long been a catalytic force for the formation of e-learning terminology systems. The global pandemic situation has necessitated the transition of education to an electronic environment, thus revolutionized the education system and served as an impetus that caused a sharp increase in the frequency of e-learning terms usage in mass communication and contributed to the emergence of new terms in the researched sphere. In this regard, research aimed at identifying the specifics of e-learning terminology and the features of the meaning specialization is of particular importance. As a result of contextual analysis, a large array of newly emerged e-learning terms (1600 terminological units) was analyzed. The semantic study using the definition analysis and method of semantic differentiation shows that the semantic shift as a way of meaning specialization is a productive mechanism for the formation of new e-learning terms in modern English language. The results of the research contribute to the study of English lexicology and specifically terminology. The extensive illustrative material and the main findings of the study can particularly be used in the practice of teaching English for special purposes and in the development of e-learning materials in general

Study objective: optimization of the treatment of climacteric syndrome (CS) and improvement of the life quality in women with bacterial vaginosis (BV) during menopause. Materials and methods. 58 women with natural menopause were examined, 38 of whom were diagnosed with BV. To correct the CS patient used the drug 17β-estradiol Divigel transdermal in combination with micronized progesterone orally. Patients with BV were divided into 2 subgroups: 15 women received standard treatment with metronidazole gel (comparison subgroup), 23 women additionally used Lactagel (main subgroup). The control group included 20 patients with CS without BV. The severity of CS was assessed with MRS scale. Microscopic and bacteriological examination of vaginal discharge was performed to determine the infectious agent, and the species composition of pathogens was determined with a polymerase chain reaction. BV was diagnosed according to Amsel criteria. CQLS questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life of patients with BV. The treatment effectiveness was assessed after 1 and 3 months from the start of treatment.Results. Divigel in women with uterus in combination with oral micronized progesterone has shown high efficiency in the CS correction within a month from the start of treatment. The most significant was the decrease in neurovegetative and psychoemotional symptoms after 3 months from the start of treatment. Lactagel in the therapy of patients with BV on the background of CS allowed increasing the lactobacilli content to the value in patients without BV, restoring the normal vaginal biotope and preventing of the disease recurrence, in contrast to the subgroup of patients who received standard treatment. Lactagel made it possible to improve the life quality of patients to an average level and to increase the overall level of life satisfaction, in contrast to the subgroup with standard treatment where these levels have remained low.Conclusions. Developed approaches to menopausal hormone therapy and BV therapy against the background of natural menopause allows optimizing treatment, improving the life quality of patients, which allows recommending them for widespread use in clinical practice.
Vitex agnus-castus Ze 440 extract in the therapy of cyclic mastodynia in women with non-tumor breast damage
Authors: Kovaliov O.O. , Alivapova L.I.
Published: May 2021

Cyclic mastalgia of varying intensity occurs every month in at least 70% of women, persistent pain in the mammary glands of moderate and severe degree is occur in about 50% of patients with benign mastopathy. The cause of mastodynia is the morphofunctional rearrangement of the glandular and stromal components of tissues with the expansion of ducts and proliferation of epithelial structures due to a lack of progesterone and an increase in prolactin levels. Therapy for cyclical and chronic mastalgia is empirical and not always effective. Herbal medicine with Vitex agnus-castus is a reasonable alternative to hormonal treatment for women suffering from cyclic mastalgia in combination with other manifestations of premenstrual syndrome. The main effect of such drugs is an increase of luteinizing hormone and progesterone synthesis, effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary system, prolactin and endorphins release, which can increase the level of endogenous opioids.Purpose of the study: to study the effect of the phytopreparation Prefemin (Vitex agnus-castus extract Ze 440) on the intensity of chronic pain syndrome in women with diffuse non-tumor breast lesion. Materials and methods. The study involved 30 women aged 22 to 43 years with various types of benign breast diseases and chest pain lasting at least 3 months. In 12 patients there was diffuse fibroadenoma, in 18 – diffuse cystofibroadenoma (small cystic variant) and duct ectasia.Results. Therapy with Prefemin (Ze 440) allowed to completely eliminate pain syndrome in 93.3% of women and to reduce the frequency of mastodynia in the group with moderate severity in 90.0% of patients with diffuse fibroadenoma and cystofibroadenoma.Conclusions. Phytopreparation Prefemin, which is obtained from the medicinal plant Vitex agnus-castus, has demonstrated high efficacy in the mastalgia treatment in women with diffuse fibrocystic breast disease. This drug was well tolerated and there were no side effects.

Study objective: to establish the clinical efficacy of 1.0% micronized progesterone gel Progestogel® at the preconception stage in order to prevent lactation disorders in women with fibrocystic breast disease (FBD).Materials and methods. The main group consisted of 30 women with diffuse forms of FBD who applied on each mammary gland 2.5 g 1.0% micronized progesterone gel Progestogel® for 6 months daily at the stage of pregnancy planning. The comparison group included 30 women with diffuse forms of FBD who did not use Progestogel® at the stage of pregnancy planning. The control group consisted of 30 healthy pregnant women without pathological changes in mammary glands. Stages of observation included preconception period, pregnancy, postpartum period, lactation period and long-term period (6 month after the end of lactation).Results. Preconception preparation with transdermal 1.0% micronized progesterone gel Progestogel® in patients with diffuse forms of FBD promoted long-term breastfeeding and a regressive course of the breast pathological process. Examination of this group of patients in the long-term period (6 month after the end of lactation) showed no clinical manifestations of the breast disease (pain syndrome and edema) in 24 (80.0%) women and regression of ultrasound signs of FBD in 21 (70.0%) patients. Manifestation of both clinical and echographic signs of the breast disease was diagnosed in 26 (86.7%) women in the comparison group. Transdermal 1.0% micronized progesterone gel in the preconception preparation associated with no complications of the early lactation period in 83.3% of patients and provided a long (12 months) lactation process in 66.7% of patients.Conclusion. Progestogel® is an effective pathogenically substantiated means of safe therapy for diffuse forms of FBD. The protective effect of 1.0% micronized progesterone gel Progestogel® associated with regression of clinical and echographic manifestations of FBD in 80.0% of women.
