Authors: Fasih Uzma , Shahid Erum , Shaikh Arshad 
Published: March 2020

Purpose: To evaluate the frequency, causes and management of pseudophakic glaucoma among the pseudophakic patients presenting in a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan.
Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Ophthalmology, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Pakistan, from August 2017 to June 2018.
Material and Methods: Adult patients between 50 to 70 years of age with pseudophakic glaucoma were included in the study by non-probability convenience sampling after institutional review board approval. Patients with primary open angle, primary angle closure, traumatic glaucoma, diabetes mellitus and hypertension were excluded. Pseudophakic glaucoma was labeled in case of cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation and intraocular pressure > 21 mmHg or more in one eye along with glaucomatous optic disc or retinal nerve fiber layer defect on OCT (optical coherence tomography). Frequencies were computed for categorical variables. Data was analyzed on SPSS version 20.
Results: Twenty-eight eyes with pseudophakic glaucoma were studied. There were 15 (53.57%) males. Mean age was 63 ± 10.4 SD years. Mean IOP was 30.78 ± 7.5 mm Hg. Patients with extracapsular cataract extraction were 18 (64.2%) and 10 (35.8%) had phacoemulsification. Most frequent cause was posterior capsular rupture (n = 16, 57.1%) followed by pupillary block, (n = 4, 14.2%) and UGH (n = 3, 10.7%). Medical treatment was successful in 20 (71.4%) and surgical treatment was done in 8 patients.
Conclusion: Most common causes of pseudophakic glaucoma are posterior capsular rupture, vitreous loss, uveitis and pupillary block. Pseudophakic glaucoma is more common with anterior chamber intraocular lenses and extracapsular cataract extraction.
HARNESS FITTINGS OF 7th—6th CENTURIES BC IN THE TRANSCAUCASIA AND THE NEAR EAST
Authors: Makhortykh S. V. 
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of different types of metal and bone harness fittings of VII—VI centuries BC which were found in the South Caucasus and the Near East. Among those fittings, which are constituted about 50 artifacts, two major groups could be distinguished: plain fittings of various geometric shapes and fittings with zoomorphic decorations. The latter group dominates and constitutes about 80 % of the total number of findings. The major regions of distribution of these horse harness attachments are Armenia and Turkey. The cylindrical harness fittings of the first type from the group 1 were the most widespread among the geometrical samples (8 items), while among the zoomorphic ones — claw-shaped, or beak-shaped objects of type 1 from the group 2 (19 items). It should be noted that the majority of the analyzed finds were found not in burial monuments, as in the Northern Caucasus and in the Ukrainian forest-steppe, but at settlements. The emergence of the tradition of manufacturing, as well as the widespread using of various types of harness fittings, and primarily the zoomorphic ones, to the South of the main Caucasian ridge, was the result of the staying and activity on this territory of the Scythians of the South of Eastern Europe. The main period of existence of strap-dividers in Transcaucasia and the Near East was the second half of the VII — the first half of the VI centuries BC.
ON THE BORDER OF THE STEPPE.THE SOUTHERN HILLFORT GROUP OF THE SCYTHIAN TIME OF THE DNIPRO-DONETSK FOREST-STEPPE
Authors: Kriutchenko O. O. 
Published: March 2020

The structure of the fortified settlements enlargemented on the territory of the Dnipro-Don forest-steppe, starting from the middle-second half of the VI century BC. According to the results of the investigation of the Bilsk hillfort, the Perekipsky shaft in the Kharkiv region and settlements along the Muravsky path, we suggest that the functions of these fortifications were much wider than the protection of the inhabitants of the surrounding settlements. In this article we summarize the results of the investigation of the settlement group and burial fields that are located on the border of the steppe.
A developed system of the open settlements with ashes, which formed the separate groups, so-called bushes, appeared in this region in the Middle Scythian period. That were located in the upper reaches of small tides, among the ramified system of ravines near the watershed. The choice of that place was due to the convenient location for farming, in places free from the forest. At the same time there appered the first hillfort in the region — Chervonosivske.
A synchronous and concentrated system of stationary settlements were located around this hillfort. The hillfort had the simple defensive structure (protected by a shaft and a moat from the one side of the field). The Taranivske and Velykohomilshansky hillforts with the bushes of the open settlements appered in the V century BC. Likely, all settlements, except Korobovy Khutory were built in the Middle Scythian time. The site of these ancient settlements is protected along the perimeter with one line of fortifications. The number of settlements along the Muravsky path drastically decreased, in the Late Scythian time. The new settlements appered in the middle flows of tributaries (Novoselivka) and in floodplains of large river systems. As an question — the functioning of Chervonosovsky, Taranivsky and Velykohomilshansky hillforts in the IV century BC. The well-fortified hillfort Korobovy Khutory appeared in the final of V century BC. on the cape near the Siversky Donets.The traces of seasonal stands are recorded in the floodplain. The process proceeds in parallel with the infiltration in the steppe nomads in this region.
ANTIQUITIES OF THE III—I CENTURIES BC IN THE FOREST-STEPPE DONETS REGION
Authors: Pelyashenko K. Yu. 
Published: March 2020

For the territory of the forest-steppe part of the river basin. Seversky Donets, as well as for the entire Dnepro-Donets Forest-Steppe as a whole, the period of the last three centuries BC is the least studied. First of all, this is due to a very limited range of archaeological sources. The article gives an analysis of materials relating to the III—I centuries. BC, obtained mostly as a result of the excavations of the author, involving a few previously known random finds. In addition to the single random finds found on the surface, the main array of artifacts associated with the period under consideration is presented in the materials of the excavation of the Tsirkuni settlement. It is still the only monument in the forest-steppe Donets region on which objects are found, which, according to the general context, can be dated to the last centuries BC. Among them are fragments of imported pottery ceramics, iron brooches, a hook, a petioled three-bladed arrowhead, several types of buckles, a bronze ring with rounded protrusions.
These findings allow us to talk about the continuation of life on some forest-steppe monuments of Scythian time in this period and only to suggest the ethnicity of new migrants in the territory, among which could be both late Scythians and Eastern nomads (late Sauromats, Sirmatians, Siraks).

Published: March 2020

The publication presents the results of excavations of the mound 4 of the Dushnovo group of large-scale graveyard of the Scythian time near the city Lyubotin, Kharkiv region (the Seversky Donets basin). It is important to emphasize that no one kurgan in this group was previously investigated by archaeologists.
Part of the embankment was seriously damaged by the local people’s economic activity, and before excavation it was a height of up to 0.90 m with a diameter of about 30 m.
In the course of works the remains of a square (4 Ч 4 m) original ground-based facility, with an in-depth foundation, which once had fence walls, were found under the embankment. The massive column-pillars, which originally frame the front of the building, were leaving the entrance to it free. The area around this object was lined with bark, and in the immediate vicinity there was a fairly large wooden platform.
Several items were preserved in the robbery track, in particular, fragments of stucco dishes of the early Scythian period (a pot, a bowl, a scoop), fragments of the light-loamy Miletus amphora.
The constructive feature of the structure and the preserved things make it possible to interpret this object as a sanctuary and date approximately not later than the end of VII century BC.
ON SOME PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH SOURCES ON THE BEGINNINGS OF THE SCYTHIAN HISTORY
Authors: Medvedev A. P. 
Published: March 2020

The subject of this article is the problem of correlation and verification of ancient literary sources and archaeological evidence with a view to reconstruct the history and culture of the early Scythians. The author analyzes the current state of affairs in cultural identification of the Cimmerians and the Scythians in Russian archaeological and historical science and shows drawbacks of the hypercritical approach to ancient literary sources on the basis of the early Greek tradition on the Cimmerians and the Scythians in the Northern Black Sea region. If we use the methods that have been recently used to analyze the Greek tradition on the Cimmerians, we will have to make a disappointing conclusion that not only the Cimmerians but also the Scythians in the Northern Black Sea region are virtually not mentioned for a period before the middle of the 5th century BC. The archaeological evidence can largely make up for the shortage of narrative sources on the Scythians. The author makes a conclusion that the «old» hypothesis about the arrival of the Scythians in the Black Sea region (based on the third Herodotus’ story) and replacement of the late pre-Scythian culture by the early Scythian one combines almost all known literary and archaeological evidence into a more consistent theory than the «new» approach offered in the 1990s and stating that the Cimmerians were bearers of the Early Scythian culture known only to the west of the Euphrates.

Summary. To achieve a good functional result, rehabilitation is a necessary component of the postoperative period for patients after total hip replacement. In the Georgian healthcare system, rehabilitation treatment is not financed by insurance and a certain number of patients, after being discharged from the hospital, cannot afford to undergo a course at a rehabilitation center. For such patients, we used virtual rehabilitation sessions with the help of Whatsapp or Waiber messengers, with a rehabilitologist who worked with patients in the hospital. Sessions with a duration of 30-40 minutes were held 5 times a week, during the first month after discharge from the hospital.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual rehabilitation, by comparing patients of 3 groups. Group A, 56 patients (women-35, men -21, average age of the group 69.4 years), underwent a standard course of rehabilitation in specialized institutions. Group B, 52 patients (women 33, men 19, the average age of the group 69.8 years) underwent a course of virtual rehabilitation. Group C, 42 patients (women 26, men 16, the average age of the group 72.8 years) did not undergo rehabilitation.
The range of motion in the hip joint after hip replacement was estimated according to the M. D’Aubigne and M. Postel quantitative scale. All patients were evaluated one month after surgery.
Virtual rehabilitation has proven effective. It can be especially important for developing countries.

Published: March 2020

Summary. The aim of the study was to compare and analyze the results of surgical treatment of patients with rectal fistulas by performing standard techniques and modified fistula ligation techniques.
Materials and methods: a retrospective study 55 patients who underwent surgical treatment for transfusion of the rectum between January 2017 and April 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: 29 patients (52.7%) were operated by standard procedures, 26 patients (47.3%) underwent surgery using a modified fistula ligation technique.
Results. The use of standard techniques for surgical treatment of rectal fistula provided 86.2% satisfactory results. However, in addition to disease recurrence, 6.8% of the development of anal sphincter insufficiency was recorded. Using modified LIFT technology, 84.6% of successful operations were achieved. There were no cases of sphincter apparatus failure.
Conclusions. Performing minimally invasive techniques for surgical correction of rectal fistula significantly reduces the risk of anal sphincter insufficiency in the postoperative period.

Authors: Pulyaeva I. S. 
Published: March 2020

Aim. To define tactics of treatment of patients with infecting of synthetic patch after carotid endarterectomia(CEA).
Materials and methods. As a result of treatment of 123 patients with hemodynamically meaningful stenosises of carotids and/or presence of embolic plate in SI «Zaycev V.T. IGUS of NAMSU» from 2014 for 2018 51 CEA was executed with in seaming of patch. In 5 cases autove in used as a patch, at 46 patients were used synthetic patch. As a rule, this group was entered by patients with extensive stenosis (more than 2 cm) - 33 patients, patients with insufficient retrograde pressure and/or presence of neurological deficit in the period of crossclamping of internal carotid — 18 patients.
Results. The direct results of operation we estimated complex on the basis of degree of change of clinical status and presence of postoperative complications. At 43 patients in a postoperative period are not educed complications. At 8 patients an early postoperative period was complicated by bleeding from a patch, that demanded the repeated operative treatment. In two cases through 2 and 2,5 year, infecting of synthetic patch, that demanded urgent operative intervention as excision of synthetic patch and inseaming of autovein patch, was educed. To the patients control of passableness of carotids was executed through every 6 months Hemodynamically meaningful Restenilооm was observed in 3 cases at this group of patients.
Conclusion. At hemodynamically meaningful extensive stenosises of carotids and insufficient level of retrograde arteriotony it is necessary to execute CEA with inseaming of synthetic patch. In case of the repeated interference on a carotid careful hemostasis and antibacterial therapy allows to bring down the level of infectious complications.

Abstract. Purpose. To demonstrate a rare clinical case of pyomyoma complicated by perforation and the development of secondary appendicitis
Materials and methods. The study involved clinical instrumental examination and surgical treatment of a woman with extragenital pathology, who presented in postmenopausal period with uterine leiomyoma modified into pyomyoma and hystero-appendicular fistula resulting in secondary appendicitis.
Results. Diagnosis of pyomyoma is difficult due to absence of pathognomonic symptoms and mimicking into a range of pathological conditions inherent to postmenopausal period. This complication of leiomyoma may result in spontaneous perforation of the uterus involving neighboring organs in the inflammatory process and the development of surgical diseases, particularly secondary appendicitis.
Conclusions. In pyomyoma, even taking into account complications in the form of surgical diseases there is a possibility of performing laparoscopic surgical treatment of the required volume which gives a positive result.

Summary. Introduction. Indications for operations on the arterial arc of the brush can bediagnosed distal thromboembolism, thrombosis and occlusion of the arteries with stored the main blood flow through the arteries of the forearm. Purpose of the study. Improve the treatment results for patients with chronic upper limb ischemia. Materials and methods. We have analyzed the result of the treatment of 64 patients with chronic arterial ischemia of the upper limbs. All interventions were performed under conduction anesthesia by interscalene brachial plexus block under ultrasound control. Results. Digital periarterial sympathectomy gives a pronounced long-lasting effect, it can be regarded as a method of choice in the treatment ucral ischemia of the hand. Direct intervention on arterial arch of hand in some cases allows to restore the main blood flow, which significantly improves treatment results. Data triplex scanning arterial arch of the hand and finger arteries and transcutaneous oximetry indicate the increase of linear blood flow velocity and decrease of the index of peripheral vascular resistance in all cases. Dynamics of evaluation of serum nitric oxide and VEGF in venous blood of the affected limb shows the increase of the studied parameters, confirming the effectiveness of sympathectomy to improve blood supply. Conclusions. Digital periarterial sympathectomy in Raynaud’s syndrome and obliterating atherosclerosis allows to achieve better treatment results than the rib sympathectomy.

Published: March 2020

Abstract. The aim of the study was to create individualized surgical treatment tactics in patients who underwent anastomosing intestinal surgery using the express method for determining cryoglobulins. The study was based on a study of the results of treatment in 96 patients who underwent resection of segments of the small intestine with the formation of inter-intestinal anastomoses, in the SI «ZIGUS NAMSU» during the period from 2015 to 2018 years. Using a high-quality rapid method for the determination of cryoglobulinemia (CGE) during surgery can significantly affect surgical tactics: with a low level of cryobilk in blood serum, it can perform a resection of a segment of the small intestine with the formation of primary small intestinal anastomoses; when the level of cryobilk in blood serum is more than 80 mg / l, which corresponds to a positive rapid test for cryobilk, one should refrain from the formation of primary anastomoses, and use the tactics of the formation of “delayed” anastomoses, in severe general condition of patients (and a high level of CGE – more 600 mg/l) – also the formation of the final small intestinal stoma.
