Authors: Bajoriūnaitė Deimantė , Balčiūnas Justinas , Vaiciukevičius Deividas , Jasinskaitė Monika , Montvila Antanas
Published: January 2022

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a rare cause for hospital admissions of abdominal pain with incidence of less than 0.1% but due to delay in diagnosis results in a high 40% to 80% mortality rate. Small intestine ischemia occurs due to blood supply interruption of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) which can happen due to embolism, arterial or venous thrombosis or non occlusive ischemia. AMI is most commonly caused by SMA thrombosis, which is precipitated by dehydra­tion, low cardiac output and hypercoagulation, or SMA embolic occlusion, which mostly occurs due to acute myocardial infarction. We present a 74-year-old man who complained of acute chest pain and pressure, black stools that started 4 hours ago. The patient had a history of prostatic hyperplasia and aortic surgery complica­ted by intestinal necrosis. Computed tomography (CT) showed bleeding in the duodenum, which was stopped using adrenaline. Coronary angiography was performed after cessation of bleeding. The patient began to com­plain of severe abdominal pain. Abdominal and pelvic contrast CT showed SMA thrombosis. The patient un­derwent small intestine resection, ileostomy and cystos­tomy. Histopathological examination revealed ischemic and necrotic changes. Despite the treatment the patient died. Physicians should be aware of AMI as a possible cause of abdominal pain, especially in elderly patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. Contrast enhanced CT should be the first-line imaging modality for diffe­rential diagnosis. Thorough assessment of symptoms and risks, timely use of diagnostic and interventional measures can help to reduce high mortality.

Published: January 2022

Tyrimo tikslas − išanalizuoti demencija sergančių pa­cientų kognityvinių funkcijų pokyčius bendruomenės slaugytojų ir artimųjų, namuose slaugančių demencija sergančius pacientus, atžvilgiu. Tyrimo probleminis klau­simas: kaip geba artimieji slaugyti demencija sergantį pacientą namuose, esant kognityvinių funkcijų poky­čiams? Taikyta kokybinio tyrimo strategija, vykdant pu­siau struktūruotą interviu. Tyrime dalyvavo 9 bendruo­menės slaugytojai ir 7 pacientų artimieji, kurie namuose slaugo demencija sergantį artimąjį. Tyrimo duomenims analizuoti taikyta indukcinė kokybinė turinio analizė.

Tyrime dalyvavę slaugytojai ir artimieji, slaugantys de­mencija sergantį pacientą, išskyrė pacientų atminties, suvokimo, dėmesio, orientacijos sutrikimus. Pagrindiniai asmenys, slaugantys demencija sergantį pacientą, yra artimieji, kurie slaugymo naštą turi pakelti vieni. Nuo­latinis ir tęstinis kontaktas su bendruomenės slaugytoju, tiesioginio ir netiesioginio ryšio palaikymas, pasitelkiant išmaniąsias technologijas, teminiai mokymai galėtų už­tikrinti kokybišką paciento priežiūrą.

Authors: Puslys Tautvydas , Kacevičius Laurynas , Makarevičienė Vaida
Published: January 2022

Herpetinė akių infekcija yra viena iš dažniausių aklumą sukeliančių infekcinių priežasčių pasaulyje. Herpes sim­plex virusas yra dviejų tipų. Jie skiriasi plitimo keliu bei sukeliamų pažaidų lokalizacija. Herpetinė infekcija gali pasireikšti tiek akių vokuose, junginėje, tiek gilesnėse akies struktūrose: ragenoje, gyslainėje, tinklainėje. Pri­klausomai nuo pasireiškimo lokalizacijos, objektyvios apžiūros duomenys taip pat skiriasi, pavyzdžiui, esant blefarokonjunktyvitui, atsiranda vandeningų išskyrų, ste­bima voko eritema, kuri opėja ir pasidengia šašu. Esant herpetiniam retinitui, atsiranda akies skausmas, padidėja akispūdis, regimos drumstelės, staigus regimojo ploto susiaurėjimas. Negydant galimas apakimas. Gydymo parinkimas priklauso nuo pažeistų struktūrų, kadangi gali būti gydoma tiek vietiškai antivirusiniais medikamentais (lašais, peroraliai), tiek sistemiškai gliukokortikoidais.

KARDIOGENINIO ŠOKO ETIOLOGIJA IR DIAGNOSTIKA
Authors: Atie Emil , Ivanova Olesia , Švagždienė Milda
Published: January 2022

Kardiogeninis šokas yra viena iš šoko rūšių, kurią gali sukelti daug įvairių etiologinių veiksnių. Dažniausias iš jų – miokardo infarktas. Kitos, retesnės, priežastys gali būti papiliarinių raumenų, chordų, tarpskilveli­nės pertvaros ar miokardo plyšimas, ūminė skilvelių aneurizma, infekciniai procesai ir kita. Kardiogeninio šoko riziką gali padidinti tam tikri paciento veiksniai, kurie leidžia suskirstyti pacientus į tris rizikos grupes (didelės, vidutinės ir mažos rizikos). Šoką gali sukelti daugelis veiksnių, o išsivystęs šokas pasireiškia siste­mine hipotenzija bei hipoperfuzija. Diagnozė remiasi pagrindinės ligos nustatymu ir organų hipoperfuziją nurodančiais kriterijais. Diagnozuojant šoką sukėlusią ligą, naudojami jai specifiniai laboratoriniai ir instru­mentiniai tyrimai, o sukėlusį veiksnį nustatyti svarbu, nes nuo to priklauso tolesnis kardiogeninio šoko gy­dymo pasirinkimas.

Authors: Rudinskaitė Ieva , Navickas Giedrius , Samalavičius Robertas Stasys , Šerpytis Pranas
Published: January 2022

Kardiogeninis šokas (KŠ) – tai klinikinė būklė, kuriai būdingas sumažėjęs širdies minutinis tūris, hipoperfuzija, dauginis organų nepakankamumas ir didelis mirtingumas. Ūmus miokardo infarktas yra pagrindinė KŠ priežastis, kuri sudaro apie trečdalį visų KŠ atvejų. Klinikinis KŠ apibrėžimas dažniausiai remiasi hemodinamikos krite­rijais ir hipoperfuzijos požymiais. Siekiant atkurti he­modinamiką ir pagerinti organų perfuziją, KŠ gydymui skiriami vazopresoriai ir inotropai. Mokslinėje literatū­roje nurodoma, kad norepinefrinas yra pirmo pasirinkimo vaistas KŠ gydymui, o esant mažam širdies minutiniam tūriui, pridedami inotropai, dažniausiai − dobutaminas ir milrinonas. Tikslas – apžvelgti 2016-2021m. publikuotų mokslinių straipsnių, aprašančių šiuolaikinį kardiogeni­nio šoko gydymą, duomenis.

Metodika. Atlikta sisteminė mokslinės literatūros apž­valga. Duomenys buvo renkami PubMed, ScienceDirect, ClinicalKey, Cochrane Library duomenų bazėse. Analizei buvo naudojami viso teksto straipsniai, kurių pavadinimas, santrauka ir raktažodžiai atitiko apžvalgos tikslą. Naudoti raktažodžiai: cardiogenic shock, inotropes, vasopressors. Analizuotos tik anglų kalba skelbtos 2016-2021m. pu­blikacijos. Literatūros apžvalgai atrinkta 19 straipsnių. Rezultatai. Esant hipotenzijai ar vazoplegijai pirmo pa­sirinkimo vaistas – norepinefrinas. Jei kraujospūdis nor­malus, skiriami inotropai. Norepinefrino skyrimas susijęs su mažesniu pacientų mirtingumu, retesnėmis aritmijomis ir rečiau išsivystančiu refrakteriniu kardiogeniniu šoku. Literatūroje nurodoma, kad norepinefrino ir levosimen­dano ar dobutamino kombinacija yra tinkama kardioge­ninio šoko gydymui. Epinefrinas dėl α ir β adrenerginio poveikio miokardui yra mažiausiai saugus ir susijęs su didesniu mirtingumu. Dopaminas susijęs su dažnesnėmis aritmijomis, tachikardija ir didesniu mirtingumu. Levo­simendanas pasižymi teigiamu inotropiniu poveikiu ir Tako-tsubo kardiomiopatijos metu gali būti skiriamas kaip alternatyva katecholaminams. Šiuo metu trūksta randomizuotų, didelės apimties tyrimų, kuriuose būtų nagrinėjami skirtingi KŠ gydymo metodai.

Authors: Mažeikaitė Morta
Published: January 2022

Mastocitozė – tai heterogeniška retųjų susirgimų grupė, kuriai būdinga perteklinė mastocitų proliferacija ir aku­muliacija odoje, kaulų čiulpuose ir kituose vidaus orga­nuose (dažniausiai kepenyse, blužnyje, limfmazgiuose ar gastrointestinalinėje virškinamojo trakto dalyje). Įvykus mastocitų degranuliacijai, į sisteminę kraujotaką išsiski­ria daug vazoaktyvių mediatorių, sukeliančių specifinius klinikinius simptomus. Pasaulio sveikatos organizaci­jos paskelbtoje ligų klasifikacijoje išskirti 3 pagrindiniai mastocitozės variantai: odos mastocitozė – pažeidimas atsiranda izoliuotai tik odoje, sisteminė mastocitozė, kai patologinės mastocitų sankaupos išplinta organizme ir pažeidžiami kaulų čiulpai ir (ar) kiti ekstrakutaniniai organai bei solidiniai mastocitų navikai (mastocitų sar­koma). Pacientams svarbu žinoti mastocitų degranuliaciją skatinančius veiksnius ir jų vengti. Efektyviai simptomų kontrolei pasirenkami antihistaminiai vaistai, o nesant teigiamo klinikinio atsako, derinami su mastocitų akty­vumą slopinančiais vaistais, leukotrienų antagonistais. Ligai itin išplitus, skiriami gliukokortikosteroidai. Loka­liam bėrimų gydymui taikoma fototerapija. Straipsnyje aptariami taikytini gydymo metodai, diagnozavus odos ar sisteminę mastocitozės formą bei pakopinio medika­mentinio plano sudarymas, siekiant efektyvios simptomų kontrolės.

This is a new method of treatment for Pubic Symphysis diastasis with anterior subcutaneous pelvic internal fixation (later
called as INFIX) using pedicle screws and a spinal rod. Pedicle screw and Spinal rod was used to address shortcomings of
external fixation (EXFIX).Pedicle screws were passed into AIIS through small incision. Contoured Spinal rod of suitable
length passed across the lower abdominal wall in subcutaneous plane, compression achieved manually and rod
connected to screws and tightened. Patient is able to tolerate implants and is able to sit, stand and walk without difficulty.
Complications include lateral femoral cutaneous nerve irritation, which resolved after 5weeks. Appearance of INFIX
provides a new alternative treatment; INFIX is minimally invasive and time-saving for treatment of anterior pelvic ring
injuries. The EXFIX is an effective tool for anterior ring fixation and has been widely used. However, it is associated with
many complications such as pin-track infection, aseptic loosening and loss of reduction. INFIX is less disabling for
treatment of Pubic Symphysis Diastasis.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of fibrous lesions in the oral mucosa, associated with the use of removable
dentures, at the Egas Moniz University Clinic between 2016 and 2019. We evaluated 240 MATERIALS AND METHODS:
clinical histories of individuals who were rehabilitated with removable dentures who consulted the department of Oral
Rehabilitation in the University Dental Clinic of IUEM, between 2016 and 2019. Subsequently, the data was submitted to a
statistical analysis in the SPSS program. RESULTS:111 (46.3%) individuals were diagnosed with a fibrous lesion and 129
(53.8%) had no fibrous lesion. Regarding gender and presence of injury, both variables are dependent p <0.001. The
most common site of appearance of these lesions was the jugal mucosa, with 39.6% of cases. Age group and lesion
presence variables are independent p = 0.766 (p <0.05). As for the type of denture and presence of lesion, these are
dependent p = 0.001 (p> 0.05). The most common lesion was denture- induced fibrous hiperplasia with 106 cases
(95.5%) and the second lesion was pyogenic granuloma (in involutionary phase) with 5 cases (4.5%). CONCLUSION:
There is a direct relationship with gender and the prevalence of oral fibrous lesions, the same was true for the type of
prosthesis the patient had. The age group did not influence the appearance of lesions

Published: January 2022

Uterine Leiomyoma is one of the most common benign tumor in women in which hysterectomy is done. Retroperitoneal
leiomyomas are rare entity of benign smooth muscle tumors which may be presented as single or multiple small
peritoneal nodules. Because of its rarity and non-specific presentation, the pre-operative diagnosis might be
challenging. These neoplasms shows same morphological and microscopic features similar to uterine leiomyoma. Here
we present a case of retroperitoneal leiomyoma in a 40 years old woman suspected to be a malignant tumour of unknown
nature. After post-surgical resection the retroperitoneal mass was sent to the Department of Pathology, RIMS Ranchi for
histopathological diagnosis. After histopathological examination the case was confirmed as leiomyoma but the final
diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibroids can be obtained intra-operatively and after histopathological examination. We
report the case from a histopathological perspective with a brief review of relevant literature. Retroperitoneal fibroids
are rare neoplasm and surgical removal of the tumour is the main treatment.

Purpose- The purpose of the present study is to review the various sustainable activities related to the marketing and to
investigate the effect of those sustainable marketing activities on people and environment. The other purpose of the
study is to investigate the availability of the sustainable products and to study the consumers and marketer's behavior
and perception towards it.
Design/methodology/approach- The study is based on the 25 literature reviews from India, USA, France, Taiwan,
Greece, New Zealand, Portugal, Malaysia, Europe, Italy, China and Brazil from the time period of 2017 to 2021. All the
literature reviews were studied from online journals from different publishers.
Findings- The study finds out that there is a lack of availability of sustainable products in the markets and marketers also
charge high prices of sustainable products from the consumers.The study also reveals that there is no classification of
sustainable products and normal products and it makes difficult for consumers to differentiate between sustainable and
normal products.The findings of the study also reveal that sustainable marketing activities positively affect the people
and environment of our society.
Practical Implications-The findings of the study reveals that sustainable marketing is beneficial for consumers as well
as for the marketers. The study also finds that advertising of green and sustainable products and activities with basic
benefits positively affect the perception,behavior and intention to purchase or purchasing attitude of the consumers.
“COMPARISON OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC FINDINGS AND FINDINGS OF FUNCTIONAL ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY IN CASES OF CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS”
Authors: Susmitha G. , Padmalatha M. , Abdul Gafoor J. , Nikhilesh Manchi
Published: January 2022

Computerized Tomography (CT) scan and FESS play a key role in the present day to day assessment of all the sinonasal
pathology and their management. Computerized Tomography (CT) provides preoperative information for the
assessment of patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). One of the major aims of CT of the
sinuses is to delineate the extent of the disease, define any anatomical variants and relationship of the sinuses with the
surrounding important structures. The study stresses that in all patients with sino nasal disease CT scan has to be done, to
know the exact pathology and to plan for FESS if required. CT scan findings are almost similar to the findings of FESS and
helps in management and provides “road map” to the surgeons.

Introduction- COVID-19 disease has been associated with pro thrombotic state and endothelial damage resulting into
thromboembolic events ranging from venous thrombosis of lower limbs to pulmonary thrombo-embolism and
subsequently pulmonary infarctions.Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) was the standard of care
at our institute for evaluation of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism. It plays a key role in its confirmatory
diagnosis,defining its extent and thereby helping in better management.
Materials and Methods-A Retrospective study was done in Sri Aurobindo Medical College and Post graduate Institute,
Indore,Madhya Pradesh,India and was approved by the hospital ethical committee.The study was done on 300 COVID19 patients with clinically suspected pulmonary thromboembolism who underwent CTPA between the months of
January 2021 and October 2021.The scans were analysed by experienced radiologists.
Results- Through our study we found that approx.13.7% patients had pulmonary thromboembolism and it was seen in
patients with moderate to severe lung involvement.
Conclusion- Through this study we have tried to assess the presence pulmonary thromboembolism using CTPA and
have also tried to establish its relationship with percentage of lung involvement on CT.
Aims and Objectives - To assess for the presence of acute pulmonary thromboembolism in COVID 19 patients using
CTPA and to establish its relationship with severity of lung involvement on CT in a single institute in Central India during
a span of six months.
Improving the Adsorption Efficiencies of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers Using a Passive Water Sampling Device in Marine Environment
Authors: Lee In-Seok , Choi Minkyu , Oh Jeong-Eun
Published: January 2022

This study focused on improving the adsorption efficiencies of organic micropollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) using a passive water sampling device (PWSD) in a marine environment during summer. Two factors were considered when increasing the adsorption efficiency by improving the sampling rate (Rs) of PWSDs for target PCBs and PBDEs: 1. Controlling the invasion of the sticky organisms that cause biofouling by tearing the semipermeable membrane device (SPMD) inside the PWSD canister; 2. Preventing various suspended solids from clogging the PWSD pores. To resolve these problems, two types of enhanced PWSD samplers were devised, namely a round prest-type PWSD canister with zooplankton netting (netted), and a copper-coated prest-type PWSD canister. Copper is generally toxic to marine organisms. The netted and copper-coated PWSD samplers were deployed in Masan Bay and Ulsan Bay and their adsorption efficiencies for PCBs and PBDEs were compared with that of the prest-type PWSD sampler. The copper-coated PWSD had an Rs 1.5~1.8 times higher than that of the netted and prest-type PWSDs. A comparison of the adsorption amount of PCBs and PBDEs showed similar results, and copper-coated PWSD adsorbed more target compounds than the netted and prest-type PWSDs. The adsorption patterns of PCB homologues were similar regardless of the sampling site and sampler type, but those of PBDE homologues in the netted and prest-type PWSDs deployed in Ulsan Bay were somewhat different from the others. By comparing the adsorption amounts of PCB and PBDE homologues according to the octanol-water partition coefficients, it was found that the coppercoated PWSD adsorbed more PCBs and PBDEs than the netted and prest-type PWSDs, especially high molecular homologues. Based on these results, the copper-coated PWSD could be used to effectively prevent the biofouling of the SPMD membrane and clogging of the PWSD canister during both summer and winter.
Identification of Distribution of Nitrogen Pollutants Based on Nitrogen and Oxygen Stable Isotope Ration in Nitrate from Water in North Hangang River, Korea
Authors: Yoo Jisu , Kim Yun S.
Published: January 2022

To identify the origin of major pollutants, we determined the distribution of stable isotopes of δ15N and δ18O in nitrate extracted from water samples and sediments collected at two-month intervals during 2019-2020 from the North Hangang River, Korea. Stable isotope ratios were measured to investigate nitrogen contamination sources in the water system. This study determined that the North Hangang River was affected by soil organic matter, livestock manure, and domestic sewage, and that the streams and rivers flowing into the main stream of the North Hangang River were affected by domestic sewage or livestock manure, resulting in relatively heavy nitrogen isotope ratios. Generally, the concentration of nitrate nitrogen was higher in the inflowing streams (Geumsan, Hongcheon, Mukhyeon, and Gyeongan district) than at the main stream. Nitrogen pollution due to chemical fertilizers and soil organic matter were different in 2019 and 2020, and the ratio of stable nitrogen isotopes decreased owing to the influence of rainfall. Sediment in the North Hangang River has been affected by agricultural soil organic matter and livestock manure, showing the necessity to nitrogen pollutant management, particularly with pollutants such as soil organic matter and livestock manure.

Riskesdas 2018 data from Riau Archipelago Province shows that the most Sectio Caesarea deliveries occur to mothers with an age range of 45-49 years (27.66%), education D1/D2/D3/PT (36.95%), most occupations are private employees (42.30%), and live in urban areas (24.6%). When preparing for a cesarean section, the patient will be faced with the operation process, the safety of the baby, and himself. Untreated preoperative anxiety can lead to complications that result in surgery delays. Therefore, anxiety in preoperative caesarean section mothers must be overcome, one of which is endorphin massage intervention. This study aims to determine the effect of endorphine massage on the anxiety level of pre Sectio Caesaria mothers. The study used a quasi-experimental method with a pre-post-test design (one group - pre-test - post-test design). The study was conducted in October 2020-February 2021 at Engku Haji Daud Tanjung Uban Hospital. The study population was pregnant women with pre sectio caesarea 20 respondents. The sample uses total sampling. The results showed that the average anxiety before the endorphine massage intervention was 21.85, while after the intervention was 12.85, this result showed the difference in the average anxiety score for pre-cesarean mothers was 9. The results of the Wilcoxon test statistic test showed the p < 0.05, the conclusion is that there is an effect of endorphine massage on anxiety levels in pre Sectio Caesaria mothers. It is recommended for mothers to be able to apply endorphine massage techniques to reduce anxiety, it can also be done at home.

Authors: Anggraini Yuliza , Ernita Lisa
Published: January 2022

Stunting toddlers in Indonesia reach a prevalence of 30.8%, this figure is 8.9 times higher than the world. Stunting has an impact on the inhibition of the child's height, the child's intelligence level, the decreased role of the immune system, immune function, and metabolic system disorders. It takes cooperation from various parties to deal with stunting, one of which is building partners with various sectors. Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah are one of the largest organizational partners in Indonesia and are located throughout Indonesia, both cities and villages that can help the government reduce the incidence of stunting. One of them is Kenagarian Tanjung Bungo which has more than 500 charities and members of Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah. Family and health development is one of the institutional programs of Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah, with the awareness movement for stunting from the Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah organizations it is hoped that it can reduce the incidence of stunting in Kenagarian Tanjung Bungo. The research design is a qualitative research with a phenomenological descriptive approach, namely a study that seeks to describe and interpret a phenomenon or concept from the life experiences of several individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah charities in reducing stunting in Kenagarian Tanjung Bungo. The results showed that the role of Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah's charitable efforts in Tanjung Bungo Kenagarian was not maximized because there were no policies or appeals from PDM or PDA to participate in helping the government in reducing stunting by making government programs successful. Conclusions PDM or PDA needs to develop policies or rules in order to support government programs so that the participation of Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah Charities is maximized, especially in order to reduce the incidence of stunting in Indonesia.

Published: January 2022

In recent years, the problem of rising seasonal temperatures has become more acute in Ukraine. Periods of heat, when the temperature outside in summer exceeds 30 °C, and in some regions reaches 40 °C, become longer, which negatively affects the main production indicators of farms for raising animals and poultry and leads to increased deaths due to heat stress. As a result, farms suffer significant economic losses. Under conditions of high external temperature and humidity (> 30 °C,> 60 %) in the bird stress develops rapidly, the internal body temperature rises by 0.5-1.0 °C, respiration increases from 22 to 200 cycles per minute (so-called symptom of "hyperpnea") and due to the absence of sweat glands, arterial-venous anastomoses are activated in the areas of the body through which the main heat transfer is carried out: ridges, earrings, open skin of the feet.

 There are a number of effective strategies to help minimize the negative impact of high outdoor temperatures on poultry, which can be divided into technical, technological, feed and medicinal. Technical strategies include: equipping poultry houses with evaporative cooling systems and tunnel ventilation, thermal insulation of roofs and walls to help reduce the negative effects of heat stress. Technological strategies include: reducing the density of poultry, reducing the thickness of the litter, the use of intermittent light, avoidance of feeding in the hottest period of the day; regular purification and disinfection of water and irrigation systems; water acidification; increase the watering front by 20-25 %. Feeding strategy during heat stress: increasing the proportion of fat relative to carbohydrates, reducing protein and increasing the level of easily digestible amino acids, the introduction of electrolytes, increasing the dose of vitamins C and E, limiting feed intake. Increasing the proportion of microelements by introducing into the diet of highly effective metal-amino acid complexes, especially those containing zinc, manganese and selenium. To reduce the negative impact of heat stress on poultry, veterinary drugs and feed additives, both mono - and multicomponent, are used, including veterinary drugs containing acetylsalicylic, ascorbic and citric acids and feed additives containing essential oils, menthol, micro- and macro elements in the form of sulfates and sulphates and vitamins.

The article describes the historical aspects of the formation and development of infusion therapy since the. V century BC to the present day. After William Harvey created the theory of the circulatory system, attempts were made to inject various substances intravenously.

Interesting data on the evolution of the syringe as a device for the introduction of various substances, from primitive, simple - to reusable and disposable. The history of the latter began in 1949, when the American Arthur Smith received the first US patent for a disposable glass syringe. Seven years later, in 1956, New Zealand veterinarian and pharmacist Colin Murdoch invented and patented a plastic disposable syringe.

However, these developments are not very suitable for intravenous injections into productive animals, especially in livestock facilities. Some exceptions were only modifications of the syringe Jeanne. It was developed by the French physician Pierre-Marie Felix Jeanne in 1934 for a variety of medical procedures. Its initial volume was 150 ml. Over time, for veterinary purposes, this model began to be produced in volumes of 250 and 500 ml.

Describes our own new experience in installing a technological line for the manufacture of solutions for veterinary medicine with their packaging in PVC bags in volumes of different formats (200, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ml). It is possible to make solutions in packages of smaller (50, 100 ml) or larger volume (2 and 5 liters). Industrial production of 11 types of solutions is registered and mastered at the enterprise.

Adhering to modern requirements for the quality of drugs, the material for the packages we have chosen a multilayer film based on polypropylene called SIFLEX PACK® Italian production. Tactical to the infusion procedure for animals, SIFLEX PACK® film packs are easy to use. They are an ideal alternative to glass or plastic containers and significantly reduce the cost of production of solutions and prevent contamination of medicinal solutions with indoor air microflora.

It also contains many vitamins (aspartic acid, glutamic acid, vitamin A, E, B1, PP) and essential amino acids - rich in methionine, lysine, arginine, histidine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, valine, cystine, tryptophan, glycine, proline, threonine and serine, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the body. Due to this veterinary drug the level of diseases of domestic animals decreases, their productive qualities increase. This drug accelerates the growth of animals. Vitamin and mineral preparation «Biotan 3Z" reduces the incidence and mortality of animals. Prevents diseases that originate from changes in housing conditions or occur against the background of metabolism or lack of vitamins and minerals.

When using this drug in bitches, the biochemical and morphological parameters of the blood of these animals were analyzed. Significant changes in blood parameters such as erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, total protein, before and after administration of the drug in various forms of manifestation have not been established. There was only a slight increase in erythrocytes from 6,6±0,2 thousand / ml to 7,8±0,4 thousand/ml, as well as a slight increase in hemoglobin from 120±3,8 g/l to 146±6,8 g/l. Vitamins and minerals contained in the fed drug had a positive effect on metabolism in the mother and fetus, as evidenced by changes in blood creatinine, which at 14 weeks before delivery was 127,6 μmol/l and on the first day of delivery in the experimental group increased to 135.8 μmol/l.

The addition of a vitamin-mineral preparation to the main diet in some way affected the metabolism and biochemical composition of the blood of the bitches of the experimental group. It was expressed by an increase in the physiological limits of glucose, total protein, albumin, creatinine, cholesterol, total calcium, inorganic phosphorus and a decrease in globulins, bilirubin and AST. The concentration of urea, triglycerides and LF activity almost did not change.

Feeding of vitamin-mineral preparation «Biotan 3Z» to bitches before childbirth affected the content in the blood of experimental animals of total calcium and inorganic phosphorus, the concentration of which increased by 0,2 mmol / l compared to baseline, and 0,2 and 0,3 mmol/l – with the control group after the experiment. Vitamin and mineral preparation «Biotan 3Z» is of interest for veterinary medicine and therefore it is advisable to continue its further clinical study.

Assessment of sperm quality is an important part of the technological process. Fertility of uteruses and bright depends to a large extent on quality of sperm. Before fertilization, you can get an idea of ​​the quality of sperm, to determine some indicators (volume, activity, density) that characterize certain properties.

The main method of research in the production environment is the visual assessment of sperm by density and motility, concentration and resistance, and the percentage of live sperm.

The testes are a pair of ovoid tubular glands that are located in the testis sac, the outer layer of which is called the scrotum. Each testicle is covered with three shells: protein (covers the surface of the testicle), a special vagina and a common vagina. At the head of the testis, where the head of the appendix departs, the protein shell grows deep into the testis, forming the mediastinum of the testis, and divides the parenchyma into many lobes or chambers. Inside the chambers are thin tubes (0.1-0.2 mm) - twisted tubules of the testis, covered with delicate connective tissue and interstitial cells. The quality and quantity of sperm production of rams of different breeds (assaf, dorper, merinoladshaf) were studied. It was found that sheep of the dorper breed of meat productivity in terms of ejaculate volume exceed the indicators of sheep of the breed assaf dairy-meat direction by 0.11 ml or 20%, and compared with sheep of meat-wool direction of productivity of the breed merinolandshaf respectively by 0.1 ml or 17.8%. According to the semen density of sheep of the assaf breed, the indicators of dorper and merinoladshaf were compared. The average density of semen of sheep of the assaf breed is exceeded in comparison with the dorper breed by 2 times and that of the merinoladshaf by 4 times. Dorper and merinoladshaf had liquid semen, which was estimated at 2 points. The sperm of all breeding rams had a rectilinear oscillating motion. High-quality semen was found in rams of all breeds and was evaluated at 9 points in rams of the assaf breed, and in rams of the dorper and merinoladshaf breeds - at 8 points.

Gastrointestinal infections of bacterial etiology occupy one of the main places in the pathology of young cattle. The article presents a literature review on the etiology, pathogenesis and clinical diagnosis of major bacterial intestinal infections in young cattle. The body of animals is constantly affected by a set of causes, which, due to violations of the technology of maintenance, care and feeding, playing the role of stress factors, leading to reduced nonspecific resistance, increased reactivity and bacteriosis in animals associated with gastrointestinal lesions. Up to 75 % of diseases of the digestive tract of young cattle are more likely to occur as associated infections caused by both viruses and bacteria. Viruses, multiplying in the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, cause dystrophy, necrosis and desquamation of epithelial cells, what promotes the colonization and penetration into the blood of pathogenic bacteria or their metabolites and the development of severe pathological processes. Bacterial agents that cause diarrhea or complicate viral infections include pathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Clostridium, Citrobacter, Enterococci, Yersinia, Pseudomonas, Campylobacter and others. A special role in the occurrence of diseases of the digestive tract in young cattle is played by opportunistic pathogens, which include bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The main intestinal infections of bacterial etiology of young cattle are colibacillosis, salmonellosis, anaerobic enterotoxemia of calves and campylobacteriosis. Calf colibacillosis is an acute infectious disease caused by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, which is characterized by profuse diarrhea, septicemia, intoxication, dehydration and significant animal death. The causative agents of salmonellosis are bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae Salmonella dublin, S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium. Calves suffer from salmonellosis from the first days of life and up to 6 months of age, with a characteristic acute fever and diarrheal symptom complex. Anaerobic enterotoxemia of calves is an acute toxic-infectious disease of mainly newborn young, caused by the obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium perfringens, characterized by hemorrhagic-necrotic inflammation of the intestine, diarrhea and intoxication of the body. Campylobacter jejuni can cause diarrhea in calves. Campylobacteriosis with symptoms of enteritis mainly affects dairy calves, although C. jejuni can also cause enteritis in ruminant calves. Other bacteria that can cause enteritis in calves are Bacteroides fragilis, Chlamydophila psittaci, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Yersinia enterocolitica and others.

The article presents data on the establishment of the effectiveness of intrauterine administration of the experimental herbal preparation Fit-O-Metrin based on extracts of thyme, oregano and barberry in postpartum endometritis in sows. Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the uterus is a fairly common disease of the genitals in sows, especially after farrowing, which often occurs against the background of viral infection due to bacterial or parasitic contamination of the uterus, as well as due to violation of veterinary rules of pigs and feeding poor quality feed, fungus and their toxins. In most cases, endometritis in sows secretes bacterial microflora and is treated with drugs to which the microflora is not resistant or use new broad-spectrum antibiotics, but it is known that they act not only on its microflora but also saprophytes of the vagina and its dorsum, turn may be the etiological factor of settlement in these organs of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Treatment of 20 sows of the control group was carried out according to the protocol adopted in the farm: Cobactan at a dose of 4 ml per 100 kg intramuscularly, once a day for 3 days, Dexafort at a dose of 1 ml per 50 kg, intramuscularly, once, Introvit in dose of 10.0 ml per animal, intramuscularly once, Catozal at a dose of 10.0 ml per animal, intramuscularly once, Galapan at a dose of 2.0 ml per animal intramuscularly, once. 10 animals of the experimental group to this protocol in the uterus was injected Fit-O-Metrin drug at a dose of 30.0 ml once. During the studies, the duration of exudate secretion after the end of treatment was taken into account and a sonographic examination of the uterus was performed, in addition, the nature of uterine secretions before insemination was taken into account. 30-35 days after insemination with the help of a sonographic device examined the condition of the uterus of sows to diagnose pregnancy or infertility. The prevalence of postpartum catarrhal-purulent and purulent endometritis among sows after farrowing was 25.0 %, purulent exudate was excreted in 30 % of sick animals, in the rest (70 %) purulent-catarrhal exudate flowed from the vagina. After using Fit-O-Metrin drug for postpartum endometritis in sows, the number of animals admitted to insemination increased by 55.0 % (p≤0.001), and their fertility by 34.4 % (p≤0.05).

The aim of the present study was to investigate of the therapeutic efficacy of the two- components antimicrobial drug. The drug contains two antimicrobial components that act synergistically. Acute intestinal infection of calves was treated. The drug was given with food. The dose and method of administration were determined by the manufacturer. Before use, the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to the active components of the drug was determined. During the experiment, constant monitoring of the clinical condition and physiological parameters of the organism of experimental animals was performed.

Evaluation of hematological and biochemical parameters of the body was performed according to recognized methods. Therapeutic efficacy was compared with data obtained using the reference drug. The obtained data were processed statistically. Based on the obtained data, conclusions were made about the effectiveness of treatment and the effect of the drug on the body of young cattle.

According to the assessment of the clinical condition of the animals and the results of laboratory studies, it was found that the tolerability of the study drug for the treatment of intestinal infections in young animals was good. During the experimental period and two weeks after the use of drugs, no side effects were detected and no changes in the behavior of calves were observed. The therapeutic efficacy of the study drug was 100 %, and the recovery period was 5 days. Comparative analysis of hematological parameters of calves showed a significant decrease in the percentage of rod-shaped neutrophils in the leukogram of sick animals after antibiotic therapy. Normalization of the leukogram indicated the cessation of inflammatory processes and improvement of the physiological condition of animals. Analysis of the influence of drugs on biochemical indices in experimental calves showed no changes during the observation period. Negative impact on liver indicators under administration weren't found. Laboratory studies have not revealed nephrototoxic effects of antimicrobial drugs. Confirmed the safety and therapeutic efficacy of the two antimicrobial components drug.
