Published: January 2022

Data on the health status of the population of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North of Khanty and Mansi, who migrated to the city and changed the traditional nomadic way of life, are few and not systematized.The aim of the study was to study the course of pregnancy and childbirth among the indigenous peoples of the north who migrated and live in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. An increase in the frequency of gynecological diseases was revealed: menstrual irregularities (in 38.5%), inflammatory diseases of the cervix (in 42.3%) and inflammatory diseases of the uterus (in 19.2%). Half of the observed women had gastritis (50%), cholecystitis (51.9%), every fourth cystitis (23.1%), anemia was diagnosed in every third in 30.8%. Pregnancy in women of the study cohort was often complicated by early toxicosis, anemia, gestational diabetes mellitus, threatening premature birth. Childbirth in pregnant women from among the indigenous small peoples of the north living in the city was complicated by anomalies in labor, indications for emergency operative delivery. This requires further study of the health status of the indigenous peoples of the north and the development of a health improvement program.Materials and methods. The course of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period was retrospectively analyzed in 168 women selected by the continuous sampling method. Women from the Khanty and Mansi KMNS living in the village of Berezovo, in the camps and in Khanty-Mansiysk were examined. Statistical processing was performed in the software package SPSS, Statistica 8.0, as well as using the Microsoft Excel analysis package.Results. The results of the study showed that the least number of deviations in the state of health were among women from the number of KMNS living in the village and in the camps and leading a traditional nomadic lifestyle. The course of pregnancy rarely had complications and 100% of women ended in spontaneous labor on time.Conclusion. The urbanization of women from among the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the north has an adverse effect on the state of somatic and reproductive health, characterized by a high frequency of gynecological diseases, pregnancy complications, labor anomalies and operative delivery.

Published: January 2022

Introduction. In recent years, the role of fungal infection in inpatient and outpatient patients has been increasing. At the same time, there are currently no recommendations on the duration of treatment of outpatient patients with fungal urinary tract infection (UTI). Aim of the study. Optimization of methods of diagnosis and treatment of outpatient patients with fungal UTI.Materials and methods. To detect fungi in urine, the E. Koneman et al. (1997) method was improved. 56 patients with fungal UTI were examined. The efficacy of fluconazole in the treatment of fungal UTI was studied in 53 patients.Results. Candida albicans was detected in 37% of cases of fungal UTI in outpatient patients. Risk factors for fungal UTI in outpatient patients include: antibacterial therapy, infravesical obstruction, type 2 diabetes mellitus and the presence of urinary drainage. The microbiological efficacy of fluconazole therapy for 7, 10 and 14 days was 83.0%, 94.3% and 96.2%, respectively. The growth of fungi in the urine a month after treatment was absent in 86.7% of patients. In outpatient patients with fungal UTI without type 2 diabetes mellitus, the efficacy of fluconazole at a dose of 150 mg per day for 7 days was 94.9%. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after 7 days of therapy, the efficacy was 50.0%.Conclusions. The most common causative agent of fungal UTI in outpatient patients is Candida albicans. To detect fungi in urine, samples should be seeded on selective media, while increasing the seeding volume to 0.1 ml and extending the incubation time to 96 hours. Fluconazole is a highly effective treatment for fungal UTI at a dose of 150 mg per day for 7 days, however, in patients with diabetes mellitus, therapy should last at least 10 days.

Published: January 2022

Introduction. Chronic back pain syndrome, which significantly restricts a person’s daily activity, can cause the formation of depressive states and is a significantly more difficult task for treatment compared to acute pain.Aim. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of caudal epidural catheterization (CEC) and local therapy with anesthetics and glucocorticoids for chronic nonspecific discogenic and chronic radicular low back pain (LBP) in young and middle-aged patients.Materials and methods. 42 patients aged from 29 to 59 years, who in the neurosurgical department of the Vologda City Hospital No. 1 in 2017–2019 underwent an operation to install a caudal epidural catheter and prolonged injection therapy of local anesthetics and glucocorticosteroids for chronic nonspecific discogenic and chronic radicular LBP.Results. There were no purulent-septic complications, hematomas of the spinal canal. In the group of patients with radicular syndrome the average values of LBP according to VAS were as follows: before CEC – 78.5 mm; 5 days after CEC – 24.1 mm; 6 months after CEC – 19.6 mm; after 12 months – 17.9 mm. In the group of patients with nonspecific discogenic LBP the average pain estimates for VAS were as follows: before CEC – 78.1 mm; 5 days after CEC – 21.7 mm; 6 months after CEC – 20.9 mm; after 12 months – 23.4 mm.Сonclusion. Our experience indicates a high long-term efficacy and safety of treatment with caudal epidural catheterization and local prolonged therapy with anesthetics and glucocorticoids for chronic radicular and chronic nonspecific discogenic pain in the lower back in young and middle-aged patients selected on the basis of a special system of criteria.

Published: January 2022

Introduction. Chronic rhinosinusitis is a disease that occurs everywhere, characterized by inflammation of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. If it is impossible to eliminate the causes of the recurrent disease with medical therapy, the use of surgical treatment help to recover the normal functioning of the ostium, including the ostiomeatal complex to improve ventilation and drainage of the paranasal sinuses and recover nasal breathing to relieve chronic inflammation.Purpose of the study. Assessment of the degree of intraoperative bleeding in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.Materials and methods. On the basis of the FGBU SPB Research Institute of ENT of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in the period from 2020 to 2021. the study of the effect of local intranasal glucocorticosteroids (INGKS) in the intraoperative period in patients with chronic polypous rhinosinusitis was carried out. The total amount of blood loss during surgery for chronic polypous rhinosinusitis in patients who used mometasone furoate preoperatively and in patients not taking topical hormonal drugs was analyzed.Results. In the study group, the average blood loss per operation was 257 ml, in the control group – 401 ml. In patients who took intranasal glucocorticosteroids during surgery, the intensity of bleeding is less pronounced. Undoubtedly, there are many reasons that affect the intensity of bleeding in general, however, a decrease in the inflammatory response in the nasal cavity and a decrease in inflammatory metabolites have a beneficial effect on the state of the nasal mucosa.Conclusion. The use of intranasal glucocorticosteroids in the preoperative period has a positive effect on reducing the inflammatory process in the nasal cavity, which helps to reduce the intensity of intraoperative bleeding.
The Effect of Changing Colours on Central Crowding Reading
Authors: Alsalhi Abdullah , Northway Nadia , Elmadina Abd Elaziz Mohamed 
Published: January 2022

Background:
Crowding can be defined as the impaired recognition of closely spaced objects. Changing colour and lighting enhance visual comfort and perceptual troubles that influence impaired vision reading.

Objective:
The current study was aimed to investigate the impact of changing the flanker distance and unflanked targets with colours on central crowding reading for subjects with their distant best correction (BCVA) equal to or greater than 6/6.

Methodology:
Six native English speakers (age: 18–38) who participated in a cross-section intervention study were asked to identify the orientation of the letter E (flanked or unflanked) in different directions around the central target in different colours (red, green, blue and black) on a white background.

Results:
Different colours affect central crowding (p<0.05). However, the central crowding reading of red was not affected by changing flankers (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
Central reading crowding is visual crowding. Different colours affect central crowding. However, the central crowding reading in red was not affected by changes in flankers.

Authors: Vakilian Katayon 
Published: January 2022

Background:
AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease that can expose a person at risk with the onset of unprotected sexual behavior from adolescence. This study aimed to assess the misconceptions of HIV/AIDS, stigma in adolescents infected with AIDS and the perceived threats of HIV/AIDS in the Iranian college students.

Methods:
This cross sectional study was performed in Shahroud city, Iran. 1500 female and male students in the age bracket of 18-24 were included in the study. Multistage sampling was employed. After obtaining permission from the universities and stating the objective of the study, the questionnaires (HIV misconception, Stigma to HIVand PerceivedSusceptibility to HIV/AIDS) were distributed to students during the end of lecture time upon the agreement of the education officials and were then collected after 15 minutes. To ensure that the information provided remain confidential, students were asked not to write down their names and fields of study. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 20 and descriptive-analytical statistics, such as percentage, mean scores, t-test Spearman, and chi-squared and Pearson tests.

Results:
The results showed that 919 students (61.2%) were female and 539 students (36.1%) were male. The results of the present study indicated that there is false information and beliefs on AIDS among the Iranian adolescents and 592 students (40.7%) answered correctly. Considering the perceived threat of AIDS, the results indicated that in response to the item "unprotected sex put the adolescents at risk of sexual transmitted diseases" 416 (45.8%) female students and 321 (60.5%) male students answered totally opposite, indicating significant difference between the two genders (P=0.00).

Conclusion:
It is suggested to provide students with more information through mass media and discussions between students, teachers and parents. Training should increase the youth sensitivity to AIDS, as well as promoting sexual relationships until marriage or healthy and safe sex.

Remote Psychological Interventions for Fear of Cancer Recurrence: Scoping Review
Authors: Cincidda Clizia , Pizzoli Silvia Francesca Maria , Pravettoni Gabriella 
Published: January 2022

Background
Patients with cancer and survivors may experience the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), a preoccupation with the progression or recurrence of cancer. During the spread of COVID-19 in 2019, patients and survivors experienced increased levels of FCR. Hence, there is a greater need to identify effective evidence-based treatments to help people cope with FCR. Remotely delivered interventions might provide a valuable means to address FCR in patients with cancer.

Objective
The aim of this study is to first discuss the available psychological interventions for FCR based on traditional cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs) or contemporary CBTs, in particular, mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy, and then propose a possible approach based on the retrieved literature.

Methods
We searched key electronic databases to identify studies that evaluated the effect of psychological interventions such as CBT on FCR among patients with cancer and survivors.

Results
Current evidence suggests that face-to-face psychological interventions for FCR are feasible, acceptable, and efficacious for managing FCR. However, there are no specific data on the interventions that are most effective when delivered remotely.

Conclusions
CBT interventions can be efficacious in managing FCR, especially at posttreatment, regardless of whether it is delivered face to face, on the web, or using a blended approach. To date, no study has simultaneously compared the effectiveness of face-to-face, web-based, and blended interventions. On the basis of the retrieved evidence, we propose the hypothetical program of an intervention for FCR based on both traditional CBT and contemporary CBT, named Change Of Recurrence, which aims to improve the management of FCR in patients with cancer and survivors.
Providers’ Experience of Abortion Care: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Dempsey B , Callaghan S , Higgins M F 
Published: January 2022

Background
Despite being one of the most common gynecological procedures in the world, abortion care remains highly stigmatized. Internationally, providers have noted negative impacts related to their involvement in the services, and abortion care has been described as “dirty work.” Though much of the existing research focuses on the challenges of providing, many have also highlighted the positive aspects of working in abortion care. Despite the steadily increasing interest in this area over the past decade, however, no one has sought to systematically review the literature to date.

Objective
The aim of this review is to systematically explore published studies on the experiences of abortion care providers to create a narrative review on the lived experience of providing abortion care, reflecting on what is already known and what areas require further exploration.

Methods
This review will be conducted according to the framework outlined by Levac et al, which expanded on the popular Arksey and O’Malley framework. We will systematically search for peer-reviewed articles in 6 electronic databases: CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PsycInfo, PubMed, and Web of Science. Following a pilot exercise, we devised a search strategy to identify relevant studies. In this protocol, we outline how citations will be assessed for eligibility and what information will be extracted from the included articles. We also highlight how this information will be combined in the review.

Results
As of December 2021, at the time of writing, we have searched for articles in the electronic databases and identified 6624 unique citations. We intend to fully assess these citations for eligibility by the end of January 2022, chart and analyze data from the eligible citations by the end of March 2022, and submit a journal article for peer review by late spring 2022.

Conclusions
The findings of this review will provide a comprehensive overview on the known experiences of providing abortion care. We also anticipate that the findings will identify aspects of care and experiences that are not reflected in the available literature. We will disseminate the results via a publication in a peer-reviewed academic journal and by presenting the findings at conferences in the areas of abortion care, obstetrics, and midwifery. As this review is a secondary analysis of published articles, ethical approval was not required.

Skin lesions associated with personal protective equipment in medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Galimova N. I. 
Published: January 2022

Aim. Analysis of the incidence of personal protective equipment (PPE)-associated dermatoses among medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials and Methods. Screening of the papers indexed by PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, eLibrary, and UpToDate databases, written in English and published from January 1, 2020 to October, 2021. The search keywords were: "medical workers", "skin", "dermatoses", "professional", and "personal protective equipment" in combination with "COVID-19" and "SARS-CoV-2".Results. Occupational contact dermatitis is responsible for 20% of all cases of contact dermatitis which accounts for 90% of all skin disease cases. During the COVID-19 pandemic, from 42.8% to 97.0% of medical workers reported about skin lesions provoked by prolonged wearing of PPE in combination with regular disinfection. About 61.7% of them noted the deterioration of a pre-existing skin disease, and 90.5% reported the appearance of new skin lesion symptoms associated with the PPE usage. The most common symptoms of skin lesions among medical workers were dryness, itching, burning, soreness, and skin rash. Irritant and allergic contact dermatitis, acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis were the most prevalent skin disorders among the interviewed medical workers. Risk factors for the development of PPE-associated dermatoses were the type and material of PPE, the duration of PPE wearing, and past medical history of skin diseases. Due to the increased incidence of PPE-associated dermatoses among the medical staff, some countries have developed recommendations on the prevention and treatment of undesirable PPE-associated skin reactions in medical professionals. Current research are focused on developing special tools and devices that would serve as a protective barrier between the skin and PPE, ameliorating the damaging effect of the latter.Conclusion. PPE-associated dermatoses are currently widespread among the medical workers, highlighting the need in novel materials for PPE manufacturing to minimise the risk of developing PPE-associated skin lesions.
