Die Deutschen im Banat, von der Kolonisation bis zur Integration in den rumänischen Staat Ein kurzer Rückblick
Authors:   Historischen Institut „George Barițiu“ der Rumänischen Akademie, Klausenburg (Cluj-Napoca), Mádly Loránd
Published: February 2024

In the historical process of expelling the Ottomans from Europe, Habsburg rule spread across Central and Eastern Europe. In the context of the somewhat later dominant views that guided pol itics, such as the Enlightenment or the populationist politics, the settlement of colonists became more and more important, also in Banat, a depopulated area during the Turkish wars, which was mainly used for defense purposes. Here, the new colonists, the new types of settlements and the industrial activities in a highly multicultural environment made Banat one of the most developed and industrialized regions of the Habsburg Monarchy. In the description of the settlement of Ger man population groups that took place in the 18th century, the example of the Transylvanian Sax ons is used first, who were settled very early on by the kings of Hungary on the eastern border of the kingdom in order to protect them and also to farm. Over time they have developed and always defended their own identity and dialect as well as their own laws and constitutional status. The settlement of the Banat Germans, which took place in several waves, is followed along the social, geographical, economic and last but not least demographic coordinates. Later, the constitutional status of Banat also changed, until this multicultural region became part of Greater Romania after the First World War. All these changes always brought new challenges for the Banat Germans, who had their own organizational forms at that time. Political activity in defense of collective rights continued throughout the interwar period, marked by political instability.
Diffuse Loyalitäten am Ende des Krieges: die Banater Schwaben

Published: February 2024

The paper begins by discussing the loyalty-faith-betrayal triad in relation to the Crown, the em pire, and one’s one nation, and then it proceeds to analyze the situation of the Banat region in the aftermath of World War I and the attitude of the local German population towards the tumultu ous events that took place after November 1918. Among the elements thus highlighted we find the confusion experienced by the region’s multiethnic population (Romanians, Germans, Serbs, and Hungarians), the intervention of the Entente forces, as well as the attempts made by the authorities in Budapest to maintain control over Banat—among other things, by trying to set up an administrative unit of Banat sometimes referred to as a “republic,” which was never actually proclaimed, was never granted international legal status and never acquired its own institutions or distinct legislation, and was therefore ephemeral and practically non-existent. The authors then examine the options available to the German population in what concerned their chances of still living as Germans in a land they had profoundly shaped in economic and cultural terms for the past 200 years, at a time what the Romanians had clearly opted for a union with Romania, the vacillations of a population that included a modest intellectual class between the old loyalty to wards the Hungarian state, the loyalty towards one’s own community (amid the renewed hope of a German revival), and also the loyalty expected by the Romanian state (of which they knew little, and the little they knew tended to be mostly negative), without forgetting the decision—otherwise influenced by the Saxon leaders (Rudolf Brandsch)—to accept the union with Romania and to support this decision at the Paris Peace Conference.
Georg Goebel (1900-1965)
Authors:   OsteuropaInstitut der Freien Universität Berlin, Hausleitner Mariana
Published: February 2024

The present study consists of a biographical outline of Father Georg Goebel who, between 1931 and 1940, put himself in the service of the German community in Bukovina. He built an orphan age in Czernowitz and became involved in the organization of the Catholic youth of Bukovina. The national-socialists of Bukovina saw him as a competitor. However, Goebel had the support of the German consul in Czernowitz, Fritz Schellhorn, for having successfully established a number of small German schools. After his repatriation/relocation to the German Reich he was denounced by the national-socialists of Bukovina. He nevertheless managed to avoid being arrested by the Gestapo following the intervention of high-ranking Catholic clergymen. Until the end of the war he served in Upper Silesia, being forced to leave that province after 1945.
Acute and Chronic Kidney Disease Worsen Outcomes in Experimental Sepsis
Authors: Floyd Deana , Colbert James F. , Feng Frances , Furgeson Seth B. , Montford John R.
Published: February 2024

Key Points

Acute kidney disease (AKD) and CKD are common conditions associated with high rates of incident infection, and poor outcomes once infection have been established.

We successfully modeled AKD and CKD in rodents and then administered a cecal slurry solution to create peritonitis and tracked sepsis severity, end organ injury, and inflammatory changes.

Our results indicate that AKD mice are more susceptible to infection than CKD mice, developing an aggravated inflammatory response and suggests that this condition predisposes to disparate infection risk.

Background

Infection is a leading cause of morbidity in individuals with acute kidney disease (AKD) and CKD. However, there is significant difficulty in modeling infection into an animal host with preexisting kidney disease. We report a novel method of peritoneal infection induced via cecal slurry (CS) inoculation deployed into mice with experimental aristolochic acid–induced AKD and CKD.

Methods

AKD, CKD, and paired control mice were injected with sham, low, or higher doses of donor–recipient matched CS solution. Animal survival, sepsis severity, and change in GFR were tracked longitudinally throughout the study. Histology for kidney injury, flow cytometry, plasma cytokines, and evidence of indirect organ injury from sepsis were also assessed.

Results

Infected AKD mice experienced significantly heightened sepsis severity, with 100% mortality by 24 hours after high CS doses versus no mortality in control mice. In addition, AKD mice receiving lower CS doses developed dramatically increased proinflammatory cytokines and persistent cytopenias. Infected CKD mice also had worse outcomes than paired CKD controls, although less severe than in AKD mice. Interestingly, animals with AKD had worse outcomes than mice with CKD after any CS dose or time point after inoculation, despite higher baseline kidney function and less uremic sequela.

Conclusions

These data confirm that acute bacterial infection can be modeled in animals with established kidney disease and suggest that the clinical state of kidney disease (AKD versus CKD) may influence host susceptibility to infection more than the degree of kidney failure alone.

Authors: Tong Jia , Lifang Liu , Dong Zheng , Xu Zheifeng
Published: February 2024

Background: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In recent years, the need to pay attention to medicinal plants has increased due to the side effects of drugs and drug treatment. Hesperidin has medicinal uses in traditional medicine and is used as an antidote for therapeutic diseases. This study was conducted to investigate the toxicity effect of Hesperidin on gastric cancer cell lines (AGS) and normal fibroblast cell lines (SKM). Methods: Hesperidin plant extract with different types (100, 50, 10, and 50 μg/mL) was released on AGS and SKM cell lines for 24 hours by MTT test. The amount of apoptosis induction was evaluated by flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining and changes in the expression of genes (BAX and BCL-2) by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The effect of the drug on phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) was determined by the Western blot technique. The data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software using a one-way variance test and Tukey’s test (P<005). Results: Hesperidin had a cytotoxic effect on SKM and AGS cell lines and induced apoptosis. In the treatment with Hesperidin (100 μg/mL) for 24 hours, gene expression decreased in AGS and SKM and increased in BCL2 and BAX, (P<005). The growth rate of PI3K was decreased by the effect of the drug. Conclusion: Hesperidin, with a specific effect on SKM and AGS cancer cells, has the ability to grow these cells at a dose of 100 micrograms per milliliter.

Authors: Rajabpour Mohaddeseh , Anguti Farshad , Belalzadeh Mobina , Mohebbi Ali
Published: February 2024

Background: COVID-19 is a family of coronaviruses that was started in Wuhan, China in 2020. This virus has a strong relationship with cytokine storm. The aim of this novel study was to evaluate the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy drug’s effects on immunity member expression in dental implant patients who received the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: A total of ten patients who received the COVID-19 vaccine and applied for dental implants were chosen for this study. Five patients who applied for dental implants but did not receive the COVID-19 vaccine were selected as the control group. The macrophage cells were isolated from dental pulp and treated with CAR T-cell therapy drugs. The real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed for the evaluation of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR4 expression, and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the levels of interleukin (IL-6) and IL-1 cytokines. Results: The results of the present study showed that 48 hours after treating the cells with CAR T-cell therapy drugs, the TLR2 and TLR4 expression and IL-6 and IL-1 levels were decreased, and this amount was higher in the tisagenlecleucel group than in the axicabtagene ciloleucel group (P<0.001). The COVID-19 vaccine group results demonstrated no significant difference compared with other groups. Conclusion: The findings of the present study proved that the drugs as a CAR T-cell therapy, such as Tisagenlecleucel and Axicabtagene ciloleucel, could decrease TLR function and inflammatory cytokines levels, but due to the cytokines storm in COVID-19, these drugs could not affect innate immunity receptors and cytokines levels.

Published: February 2024

Rapid brain extraction is essential for studies involving neural functions, such as electrophysiology and neurochemical experiments. Streamlining the pre-processing pipeline through rapid rat brain extraction improves research by avoiding bias and enhancing efficiency. The manual extraction of brains from rodents is time-consuming, which can affect research outcomes. Achieving fresh brain tissue is essential for experimental procedures in neuroscience, neurophysiology, and neuropharmacology, which are important for evaluating molecular alterations in proteins, mRNAs, and electrophysiology. This study focuses on introducing a rapid and simple technique for extracting a rat’s brain using a rodent skull awl-dilator. It also includes a video demonstrating both the traditional and novel approaches to brain extraction.
Seizure as a Manifestation of Fingolimod Rebound Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Hosseini Samaneh , Forghani Nasrin , Hassannezhad Sina , Karimi Hanie , Mosaddeghi Heris Reza
Published: February 2024

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to inflammation and damage to the protective covering of nerve fibers. MS patients have an increased risk of developing epileptic seizures compared to the general population. The incidence of seizures in MS patients varies across different studies, ranging from 0.5% to 8.3%. Fingolimod is an oral medication used for the treatment of relapsing-remitting MS. It works by inhibiting sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors, which helps to reduce inflammation and prevent immune cells from attacking the nervous system. However, discontinuation of Fingolimod therapy can lead to withdrawal symptoms and potentially increase the risk of epileptic seizures in MS patients. Methods: In this case report, we aimed to present a rare manifestation of seizure as a rebound activity following discontinuation of Fingolimod therapy. We reviewed the existing literature to explore the association between Fingolimod and seizures in MS patients. Relevant studies and case reports were identified through a comprehensive search of electronic databases. Results: Our case report describes a patient who experienced a seizure after discontinuing Fingolimod therapy. This suggests that abrupt withdrawal of Fingolimod may trigger rebound activity, including seizures, in some MS patients. The literature review revealed several other cases reporting seizures or convulsions associated with Fingolimod use in MS patients. The incidence of seizures in these cases varied, highlighting the need for further research to determine the exact risk. Conclusion: Fingolimod discontinuation can lead to rebound activity, including seizures, in some MS patients. It is important for healthcare professionals to be aware of this potential risk and carefully manage the discontinuation process. Further research is needed to better understand the incidence and mechanisms underlying Fingolimod-associated seizures in MS patients.

Authors: Ramya S S , Devaprasad Rebecca
Published: February 2024

The majority of India’s overall health expenses are incurred through out-of-pocket spending, and the country’s national health policies are aimed at reducing out-of-pocket expenditure in order to achieve universal health coverage and provide access to healthcare services for all. In such context, Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, the largest health insurance programme, was launched in 2018 with theview of providinghealthcare coverage of Rs.5,00,000 per household per year. The financial support for secondary and tertiary healthcare services offered by both public and private empaneled providers is supplied to India’s underprivileged households. There are three different models used for implementing the scheme, and the states choose a model with their own state insurance schemes to execute PM-JAY. In order to monitor the implementation in each state, State Health Agencies (SHA) have been set up and have been assigned to monitor all the operations related to the scheme. Funds for the scheme are distributed to the SHAs jointly by the central and state governments. The present study aims to analyse the mode of implementation by the share of private and public hospitals empaneled in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu by using secondary data sources from government websites, reports, and data repositories.
Impression of COVID-19 on the Life Years of Inhabitants in Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Priya P Devi
Published: February 2024

COVID-19 posed a threat to humankind’s ability to live and survive. The excessive infection and fatality would result in a fall in life expectancy. The pioneer study in India concluded that the lagged case fatality rate was fluctuating in the early days of infection. It was projected that if infection reaches 0.5 percent by the end of 2020, the longevity reduction would be 0.8 years (Mohanty et al., 2020). As of December 26th, 2021 Tamil Nadu stood fourth with the most epidemic cases in the country. COVID-19 has an estimated incidence rate of 25 per 1000 in India. Tamil Nadu was one of the states registering an incidence rate higher than the national average (36 per 1000). The paper examines the effect of COVID-19 on life expectancy. The infection rate of the disease was higher among the males (59%) than the females (41%). The high old-age dependency ratio in the state has resulted in high fatalities among the elderly.

Published: February 2024

Food processing industries are a crucial component of the Indian economy’s industrial sector. They play a pivotal role in ensuring food security, providing employment opportunities in both rural and urban areas, contributing significantly to the country’s GDP, and generating significant export revenue. The performance of the food processing industry plays a crucial role in shaping the Indian economy. The objective of the study is to analyze the Gross Value Added, Revenue, and FDI of the food processing industry in India’s current scenario. The study has been conducted using secondary information and measurable tools. According to the study, food processing industries have managed to maintain a similar level of performance in terms of Gross Value Added (GVA) and revenue generation. However, the growth value of exports and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow has shown a decline in performance during the post-COVID-19 period under review. Finally, the study suggested that the Indian government should make legislative policy and fiscal policies for assistance to improve the performance of food processing industries.

Taking insights from several sources, this article emphasises the urgency of the matter. It highlights the need for concerted efforts to achieve equitable health outcomes for ST communities, not only in India but also in similar contexts worldwide.
Determinants of Nutritional Status of the Children
Authors: Glory Joys , Indradevi S
Published: February 2024

Particular importance is given to nutrition in nations with high socioeconomic and sanitary standards. Public health and nutrition issues stem from issues with safe drinking water, ecological sanitation, poverty, and low literacy. Undernourishment among women is a concerning issue, especially for the destitute and impoverished. A woman’s ability to make decisions may also be influenced by her role in the family, her educational background, and her job situation. A woman who is able to make her own decisions will be able to provide her child with the best food possible and realise her full potential during times of health constraints. Decisions regarding a range of issues, including personal health, child health, mobility, and daily household issues, will collectively impact her children health. The nutritional status of mothers and their offspring was shown to be highly correlated with demographic parameters such as their background, whereas the age of the children was found to be significantly correlated with nutritional status. Long-term improvements can be brought about by the use of nutritional monitoring of students as part of the school health programme, school environment enhancements, increased purchasing power, and the provision of cheap food, particularly for the less fortunate.

Published: February 2024

Rural health is an important pillar of rural life for to return economic activity and using their muscle power. In India the rural healthcare system is supplying healthcare services at zero prices. As per the Economic Survey 2022-23, 65 percentages of India’s population lives in the rural areas and 47percentage of the population is dependent on agriculture for livelihood.On 12 April 2005, the Government of India took a major welfare initiative by launching National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in 18 states with weak public health indicators and infrastructure and extended it across the entire country. Nearly two decades the programme is executing by government in rural healthcare which may be influence the residents positively in their health status. In addition, many government programs have been launched with the aim of improving rural health, the effectiveness of these initiatives is depends upon the utilisation of available healthcare serviceswhenever needed by the rural in habitants. The other side of healthcare system, specifically private sector healthcare is mushrooming as clinic, dispensary, hospital and multispecialty hospital and people are also utilising the services and willing to pay for their health requirements. The research question is, when a service is available at zero prices to access why the people are utilising the priced one healthcare service.Hence, here is an attempt wasconducted to find the utilisation of rural healthcare system by rural population in India from the published articles.The summary of findings of the reviewed articles enlighten the need of increasing the rural healthcare working hours, number of medical personnel, strengthening healthcare infrastructure, ensuring availability of essential medicines, need of palliative care in rural PHC and investing in multispecialty workforce development in rural areas. It’s crystal clear that any programme needs a continuous monitoring, evaluation and adaptation of strategies is essential. This kind of summation of findings from scattered articles about the accessing of healthcare will be an aid to the health policy maker. A concerted effort to raise the health status of rural communities will not only improve their quality of life but also contribute to the overall health and development of the country which is in the hands of rural healthcare system.

A Comparative Analysis of Self-Realisation in the Bhagavad Gita with Psychology and Philosophy and its Educational Implications
Authors: Ramani Pramila
Published: February 2024

The Bhagavad Gita concentrates on awakening, which serves as the scripture’s overarching core theme. Meditation and expanding one’s consciousness can help one achieve self-realisation. Reflection and self-awareness are crucial in realising one’s true nature and achieving self-actualisation. The Bhagavad Gita generally gives a complete and multifaceted view of self-realisation. This notion includes the realisation of one’s true self, the eradication of one’s ego, the pursuit of spiritual paths, and the attainment of freedom. Abraham Maslow proposed Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as a psychological theory. Human needs can be classified into five levels of hierarchy. Carl Rogers, a well-known humanistic psychologist, coined the term ‘self-actualisation.’ Eastern philosophies, such as mindfulness and Zen Buddhism, have a long history of emphasising self-realisation via inward awareness and meditation. Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that encourages people to unite with the Tao. Existentialism is a philosophical movement investigating self-realisation by delving into fundamental concerns about life and individuality. While the Bhagavad Gita’s concept of self-realisation is similar to Western psychology theories and Eastern philosophies, it is distinguished by its comprehensive approach. The Bhagavad Gita’s self-realization teachings complement psychology and philosophy. Students learn morals, self-awareness, and progress from these lessons. These concepts can harmonise and educate.

Published: February 2024

Teenagers are the age group that accesses social media the most for several purposes such as communicating, seeking information, seeking entertainment, etc. The large use of social media among teenagers can provide opportunities for teenagers to become victims of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can have negative impact on the physical and mental health of its victims and therefore protective factors are needed from the negative impacts that arise. In this case, researchers want to know the relationship between cyberbullying and forgiveness in teenagers. This research uses a systematic literature review method by searching for articles with the help of Publish or Perish software based on keywords determined by the researcher. Based on these keywords, researchers found more than 600 articles that were published in 2018-2023 and then 16 articles that were closely related to this research were used. The research results show that cyberbullying is related to forgiveness because based on several studies it was found that forgiveness is a protective factor from the negative impact of cyberbullying. Adolescents who practice forgiveness will preventing victims from taking revenge against perpetrators and preventing victims from becoming perpetrators of cyberbullying, have fewer negative influences, have higher life satisfaction, mental health, happiness, psychological well-being and subjective well-being, and process anger appropriately. The implications of this research refer to the importance of the environment around teenagers such as parents, teachers, etc. to suppress risk factors for cyberbullying and an understanding of the importance of forgiveness also needs to be instilled in teenagers when cyberbullying occurs to them so that it can reduce the negative effects that can arise.

Мета дослідження. Провести порівняльний аналіз щільності кортикального шару кісткової тканини відростків та кута нижньої щелепи при набутих дефектах зубного ряду, виокремити усереднені їх параметри відповідно до вікових періодів і досліджуваних груп. Методи дослідження. Для дослідження залучено 136 (сто тридцять шість) комп'ютерно-томографічних конусних (9 Х 16) сканувань лицевого відділу людини, як об’єкти дослідження, що відповідали двом періодам зрілого віку постнатального онтогенезу людини (І-й період зрілого віку – чоловіки 22-35 років, жінки 21-35 років; ІІ-й період – чоловіки 36-60 років, жінки 36-55 років) та віднесених до трьох груп, залежно від поширення дефекту зубних рядів у бічних ділянках нижньої щелепи. Як предмет дослідження, подається щільність кісткової тканини в межах кортикальної пластинки на верхівці голівки виросткового та вінцевого відростків, а також – ділянки кута нижньої щелепи, які першочергово піддавалися процесам ремоделювання чи патологічним змінам. Статистичний аналіз інтерпретується в якісно- кількісних виразах, за допомогою непараметричних критеріїв оцінки у вигляді середнього значення (M) та стандартного відхилення (±σ). Наукова новизна. Усереднені значення досліджуваного квадранта голівки виросткового відростка, який є цільовим і пріоритетним об’єктом, що першочергово піддається впливу патоетіологічних чинників, становлять на правій стороні у першому віковому періоді постнатального онтогенезу людини М = 1165 умовних одиниць сірості (УОС), де σ = ±318,2 та М = 1074 УОС, де ±280,9 на лівій стороні. У другому віковому періоді постнатального онтогенезу – М = 1123 УОС, де σ = ±270,9 з правої сторони та М = 995,0 УОС, де ±201,8 – з лівої сторони, за умов дії набутих чинників, що стимулюють активність перебігу ремоделюючих процесів. Висновки. Зміна щільності кортикального шару кісткової тканини відростків нижньої щелепи є синхронною зі зміною щільності кортикального шару її кута, як основного сталого структурного морфологічного бар’єру, при втраті жувальної групи зубів.

Мета дослідження. Визначення частоти вираженості запалення при периімплантитах навколо комерційних імплантати із різним методом обробки поверхні. Матеріал та методи. У дослідженні були використані відносно однакова кількість 4 комерційних гвинтових інтраосальних дентальних імплантатів із різним покриттям, що існують на ринку Україні більш 10 років, та широко використовуються в стоматологічної практиці. Периімплантний мукозит діагностували за результатами зондування. Для виявлення складу мікробної флори та ступеня їх контамінації навколо імплантатів при наявності ознак пери- імплантиту проводили забір зразків рідини із карманів навколо імплантатів із використанням спеціальної стерильної турунди стандартної транспортної пробірки для посіву із середовищем Еймса. Результати та висновки. Частота запалення слизової оболонки у ділянках встановлення імплантатів відрізняється у залежності від системи імплантатів. Навколо імплантатів DAE (72,7 %) мукозит був частіше, в тому числі достовірно ніж 3D Active (54,5 %) p=0,01; значення частоти мукозиту навколо Xpeed (16,0 %) було найменшим, але достовірно відрізнялося тільки від значення 3D Active (54,5 %), p=0,005; різниці з РЕО (34,6 %) не достовірні (р>0,05). Рані терміни виявлення запалення навколо імплантатів визначили присутність в основному сапрофітних видів бактерії, крім Klebsiella pneumoniae, у патологічній концентрації – Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus viridans. Klebsiella pneumoniae була виявлена навколо Xpeed (50,0 %) і 3D Active (8,3 %). Висока контамінація бактерії була навколо 3D Active і DAE – 107 КУО/тампон і 108 КУО/тампон. Висновок. За показниками частоти пошкодження слизової оболонки навколо імплантатів достовірно більш надійними були імплантати з поверхнею Xpeed (16,0 %), p1=0,0042, p2=0,005 і p3=0,0013. За клінічним показником вираженості запалення навколо імплантатів надійними виявилися імплантати з поверхнею ПЕО; легкий мукозит діагностували навколо цих імплантатів частіше (77,8 %), ніж інші p = 0,0011. Мінімальна різноманітність видів бактерій була навколо REO та DAE. Рівень патогенного бактеріального зараження 108 КУО/тампон і 107 КУО/тампон був більш поширеним навколо імплантатів DAE. З точки зору тяжкості бактеріальної інвазії тканин, що оточують імплантати, імплантати з поверхнею 3D Active і Xpeed були в невигідному становищі через наявність Klebsiella pneumoniae у великій кількості 107 КУО/ тампон і в умовно-патогенній кількості 104 КУО/тампон відповідно.

Вступ. Після повномасштабного вторгнення Росії в Україну більшість крупних міст сходу країни, таких як Запоріжжя, опинилися близько до лінії фронту, отримав статус прифронтового міста. Життя суспільства цих міст адаптувалося до потреб сучасних реалій. Одним із основних соціальних галуз, що першими на себе відчули близькість фронту була служба охорони здоров’я, в тому числі стоматологічна. Значну частку відвідувачів як малих стоматологічних кабінетів міста Запоріжжя, так і великих стоматологічних центрів зайняли пацієнти-військовослужбовці. Постійний бойовий стрес, психологічні і фізичні навантаження негативно впливають на імунну систему військових, викликаючи загальну і місцеву імунодепресію. Часто після бойових завдань у військових збільшуються скарги на біль в зубах через загострення хронічних процесів. Мета дослідження. Вивчення частоти звернення до приватних стоматологічних закладів і основні стоматологічні заході при лікуванні учасників бойових дій. Матеріал і методи. Проведено ретроспективний аналіз медичної документації стоматологічних пацієнтів-військовослужбовців приватній стоматологічній клініці м. Запоріжжя. Використовували методи порівняння часток Стьюдента, порівняння частот χ2, методи лінейної регрессії, аналіз часових рядів. Наукова новизна у даних динаміки звернення до приватних стоматологічних послуг діючих військових учасників боїв і основних лікувальних заходів при їх лікуванні за 2022-2023 рр. Висновки. Таким чином, звернення військовослужбовців за стоматологічною допомогою у приватному секторі прифронтового міста має сезонний характер – в основному це літні місяці та перші місяці осені; основний об’єм стоматологічної допомоги у прифронтовому місті включає заходи, що потребують мінімальну кількість відвідувань лікаря; дентальна імплантація та тотальна реабілітація проводиться лише 13,0 % пацієнтів-військовослужбовців у період активної служби.

які з'явилися в перші дні після вибілювання. Матеріали і методи дослідження. Всього в дослідженнях взяло участь 32 людини, які уперше пройшли процедуру вибілювання. При виконанні роботи наше завдання полягало в опитуванні пацієнтів і зборі як анамнестичних даних, так і безпосередньою констатації фактів з подальшим їх аналізом і проведенням статистичних досліджень. Були поставлені наступні завдання. 1. Вивчити поширеність застосування різних методів вибілювання зубів і оцінити їх обґрунтованість проведення; 2. Вивчити виявлені ускладнення, а також можливі ускладнення надалі з урахуванням кількості проведених процедур. 3. Вивчити супутні захворювання, а також захворювання порожнини рота, які були присутніми на момент процедури або спостерігалися у минулому. Результати дослідження. Під час бесіди з пацієнтами було встановлено, що 7 осіб (23 %) застосовували апаратне вибілювання; 8 (25 %) ‒ лазерне вибілювання; 8 ‒ (25 %) ‒ термо- каталітичне вибілювання; 9 чоловік (28 %) ‒ окислювальне розщеплювання пігментів. Було встановлено, що з 32 чоловік ‒ у 21 (65 %) вже в перші дві доби після вибілювання з'явилася больова реакція, зокрема, на дотик, гарячіше, холод. При апаратному вибілюванні не було зафіксовано випадків гіперестезії зубів в течії першої 2-ої доби. При використанні лазерного і термокаталітичного вибілювання були одиничні випадки. Найбільша кількість пацієнтів вказала на гіперестезію зубів після хімічного вибілювання, яке проводиться із застосуванням пероксиду. Проте, окрім гіперестезії зубів, у пацієнтів виникали і інші ускладнення, які з великою вірогідністю можна віднести до проведеної процедури блічінга. Так, згідно результатів проведеного опитування збільшилася кількість осіб з кровотечею ясен: якщо до вибілювання їх було 11 випадків (34 %), то після вказаної процедури їх було вже ‒ 17 осіб (53 %). 47 % пацієнтів вказували, що після вибілювання зубів, у них спостерігалася втрата апетиту; загальна слабкість спостерігалася в 25 % випадків. При цьому в 47 % випадків (15 чоловік) після проведення процедури було потрібне застосування анальгетиків. Встановлено, що після вибілювання у ряді випадків з'являються патологічні симптоми регіонального характеру (кровоточивість ясен). Розвиток карієсу безпосередньо не пов'язаний з процедурами блічінга. У теж час, були зафіксовані випадки рецесії ясен.
