Оbjective control of the level of knowledge in medical universities is the basis for guaranteeing the quality of education. There are a lot of examples of universal systems designed to evaluate medical students in different countries, including USMLE, IFOM and others; particularly in Ukraine Krok 1 licensed exam is conducted since 2005. Results of Krok 1 are also used for ranking medical universities at the national level. The purpose of our work was to conduct a comparative analysis of the results of the licensing exam Krok 1, in particular, a histology subtest, among students of specialties 221 “Dentistry” and 222 “Medicine” and different languages of education (Ukrainian, Russian, English) in Dnipropetrovsk medical academy. We have revealed that all the analyzed contingents of students (DMA as well as Ukrainian) in the majority of observation periods from 2014 to 2019 had lower average results on histology compared to average Krok 1 results. This could be explained by low quota of histological tests for students of specialty 222 “Medicine” which is 4-6%, and absence of the threshold level for doing each particular subject. These conditions do not motivate students of the third course to recollect a complicated discipline that ended more than a year ago. Another problem is in the content of anchor questions in Krok 1 booklets: the number of such questions are distributed unevenly among booklets of different years and different languages of study. As a result, students with different languages of study are put in unequal conditions. In addition, the variation in the number of anchor tests from year to year, the lack of a declared quota of such tests disorients students and makes it difficult to develop algorithms for preparing for Krok 1.

Currently, insufficient attention is being paid to an issue of the necessary anti-osteoporotic therapy after percutaneous vertebroplasty for vertebral fractures associated with osteoporosis, which leads to premature termination of medical treatment and worsening of the treatment results in this group of patients. An objective of the research is to study the results of treatment of patients with vertebral fractures associated with osteoporosis, depending on the use of anti-osteoporotic therapy. The results of percutaneous vertebroplasty of 91 postmenopausal women aged 50-90 years, depending on the use of anti-osteoporotic therapy during the postoperative period were analysed. An assessment was made according to the dynamics of pain syndrome using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Quality of Life Scale by J.R. Gaughen to estimate the patient's mobility and a need for pain medication. The results of the treatment were assessed 3 and 6 months after the percutaneous vertebroplasty. Bone mineral density was measured using Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry 6 month after the treatment. Anti-osteoporotic therapy, which was prescribed for all patients comprised calcium supplements, antiresorbents and in D-hypovitaminosis – alfacalcidol or cholecalciferol. Only half of the patients followed the recommendations – 46 (50.6%), while the rest of the patients stopped the therapy in 2-3 months due to the improvement of their condition. In the main group of patients, where necessary anti-osteoporotic therapy was administered, significant reduction of pain syndrome and increase in quality of life during 3 and 6 months’ observation period were revealed. In the group of patients where prescribed anti-osteoporotic therapy was not adhered, significant reduction of pain syndrome and increase in quality of life in the observation period 3 months was revealed but deterioration in the form of pain syndrome increase and decrease in quality of life in the observation period of 6 months occurred. Effectiveness of anti-osteoporosis therapy, with regard to measuring bone mineral density can be reliably confirmed only in the main group. Intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred up to 5.5%, and generally did not require further treatment and did not affect the overall treatment result. Thus, it was revealed that to ensure a stable effect after the surgery, long-term prescription of anti-osteoporosis therapy is needed.

Authors: Mammadova E. T. 
Published: April 2021

Objective. Comparative studying of the cytokines secretion dynamics in extended purulent peritonitis in postoperative period on background of the standard basic therapy and its combination with cytokinotherapy.
Materials and methods. The levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-2, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in the blood of 97 patients, suffering extended purulent peritonitis of various genesis and various severity degree, were determined. Depending on kind of therapy conducted, the patients were divided into two Groups: the first one - 52 patients, obtaining standard basic therapy and the second - 45 patients, to whom cytokinotherapy was prescribed additionally to standard basic therapy.
Results. In the Group II patients the levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were raised significantly in reactive phase in 2.1 (p=0.035), 2.4 (p=0.002), 2.0 (p=0.004) and 3.5 (p=0.001) times, accordingly; toxic - in 5.1 (p<0.001), 5.6 (p<0.001), 2.4 (p<0.001) and 6.6 (p<0.001) times, accordingly; terminal - in 8.7 (p<0.001), 8.7 (p<0.001), 4.7 (p<0.001) and 8.6 (p<0.001) times, accordingly, comparing with control. On the tenth postoperative day the concentration of proinflammatory cytokines have lowered significantly in comparison to preoperative data.
Conclusion. In all the patients, owing various degrees of the extended purulent peritonitis severity, preoperatively a statistically significant raise of concentration of proinflammatory cytokines IL-2, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-­α, comparing with indices in healthy persons, was noted. Targeted immunocorrection, using combined cytokinotherapy on background of complex basic treatment measures, normalizes a cytokinic balance.

One way to restore or increase the strength of the structure against earthquakes is to use retrofit method and wire mesh is a material that has high prospects as retrofit material. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of wire mesh as a retrofit material on reinforced concrete columns burdened with cyclic loads. In this study, testing of 3 square column samples of reinforced concrete with dimensions of 300 300 mm. The first specimen is fully retrofit on the entire cross-section of the column, the second specimen is retrofitted on the plastic hinge area of the column and the third specimen is a control column without retrofit. In the first and second specimens were retrofitted with wire mesh size M6 using SCC which was then tested with a cyclic load using displacement control method based on the provisions stipulated in the Indonesian Standard SNI 7834:2012. From the test results and analysis results, it was found that the capacity and ductility of displacement in retrofit specimens increased significantly compared to specimens that were not retrofit. In addition, the decrease in stiffness in retrofit specimens was smaller than in non-retrofit specimens. As for the value of energy dissipation in fully retrofit specimens and in retrofit on the plastic hinge area is almost close. Based on these conditions, the use of wire mesh size M6 and SCC can be used as retrofit material on the column that is burdened with cyclic load. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091685 Full Text: PDF

El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la “carga de volumen” y evaluar la diferencia en la proporción de "respondedores" (PR) según el tipo de fluido, el volumen, la duración de la infusión y el momento de la evaluación. Métodos: Se realizaron búsquedas en MEDLINE y Embase para estudios que utilizan la carga de volumen como una prueba de precarga cardíaca con una descripción de la técnica, una definición reportada de capacidad de respuesta de fluidos y PR. El resultado primario fue la PR media, según el volumen de líquido, el tipo de líquidos, la tasa de infusión y el tiempo de evaluación. Resultados: se incluyeron un total de 85 estudios (3601 pacientes) en el análisis. Las PR fueron 54.4% (IC 95% 46.9-62.7) donde se administró <500 ml, 57.2% (IC 95% 52.9-61.0) donde se administraron 500 ml y 60.5% (IC 95% 35.9-79.2) donde> 500 ml fue administrado (p = 0.71). El PR no se vio afectado por el tipo de fluido. La RP fue similar entre los pacientes a los que se administró una carga de volumen durante <15 minutos (59.2%, IC 95% 54.2-64.1) y durante 15-30 minutos (57.7%, IC 95% 52.4-62.4, p = 1). Cuando el tiempo de infusión fue ≥30 minutos, hubo una PR menor de 49.9% (IC 95% 45.6-54, p = 0.04). La respuesta se evaluó al final de la exposición a los fluidos, entre 1 y 10 minutos, y > 10 minutos después de la exposición a los fluidos. Las proporciones de respondedores fueron 53.9%, 57.7% y 52.3%, respectivamente (p = 0.47). Conclusiones: el PR disminuye con un tiempo de infusión largo. Es deseable estandarizar la carga de volumen. Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe the ‘charge of volume’ and evaluate the difference in proper proportion for ‘responders’ (PR) according the type of liquid, volume, the timing of infusion and the moment of evaluation. Methods: Medline and Embase searches were made for studies using charge of volumen as a cardiac precharge test among a technique description, fluid response capacities reported definition and PR. Primary results were average PR, according liquid volumen, liquid type, infusion ratio and time for evaluation. Results: A total of 85 studies (3,601 patients) for the analysis. PR were 54.4% (IC 95% 46.9-62.7) where <500 ml was administrated 57.2% (IC 95% 52.9-61.0) where 500 ml was administrated and 60.5% (IC 95% 35.9-79.2) where >500 ml was administrated (p=0.71). PR was not influenced by the type of fluid. RP was similar among patients given a charge of volumen during <15 minutes (59.2%, IC 95% 54.2-64.1) and during 15-30 minutes (57.7%, IC 95% 52.4-62.4, p = 1). In time of infusion ≥30 minutes, a lesser 49.9% (IC 95% 45.6-54, p = 0.04) PR happened. Response was evaluated at the end of fluid exposure between 1 and 10 minutes, and <10 minutes after fluid exposure. Responder´s proportion was 53.9%, 57.7% y 52.3% (p=0.47).

Published: April 2021

La fibrilación auricular es la arritmia cardiaca más frecuente en la práctica clínica. La prevalencia se sitúa en torno al 0,4 - 1 % de la población general. Aumenta con la edad, llegando hasta el 8% a partir de los 80 años. Esta arritmia es la principal causa a nivel mundial de accidente cerebrovascular (20-30% de los casos son debidos a la fibrilación auricular), insuficiencia cardíaca o muerte súbita. Muchas veces , es clínicamente silente o se manifiesta con síntomas vagos como las palpitaciones, que pueden atribuirse erróneamente a ansiedad y retrasar el diagnóstico. La instauración temprana de anticoagulación (en determinados casos) reduce, de forma significativa la incidencia de fenómenos tromboembólicos. ABSTRACT Automatic detection of atrial fibrillation using a Smartwatch Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. The prevalence is around 0.4 — 1% of the general population. It increases with age, reaching up to 8% from 80 years. In cardiology, the standard for the diagnosis of a cardiac arrhythmia is based on the performance of an electrocardiogram (ECG). From the monitoring of KardiaBand ™ and SmartRhythm ™, AliveCor launches the first platform for Apple Watch series 4, which combines an electrocardiography device approved by the FDA and certain analysis algorithms with artificial intelligence models, which help to detect the atrial fibrillation.
