Abstract. Aim. The aim of the study was to investigate common complaints in children learning music related to the feeling of motor stiffness, muscle discomfort, painful postural tension, dif culties in self-control, dif culty in differentiating body sensations, as well as – emotional dif culties before the performance, and cognitive dif culties arising from the study of music notation. Material and methods. Problems in learning have been analyzed from the position of the biopsychosocial approach proposed by G. Engel, with the de nition of the leading biomechanical (positional), cognitive, emotional-volitional and behavioral aspects in relation to the biological background, psychological problems, the degree of maturity and formation of higher mental functions, and the contribution of the social environment. Results and discussion. The results of the study allowed us to relate children’s learning dif culties to the biomechanical (positional) and neuropsychological mechanisms determining them, to propose methods of neurocorrection, and to demonstrate the need for an interdisciplinary medical-psychological-educational approach to the correction of these problems. Conclusion. Dif culties that arise in children while learning music have a complex nature and are an interdisciplinary problem that requires consolidation of efforts not only from a teacher and a student, but also, in some cases, from a psychotherapist, a psychologist, a neurologist, and an osteopath with active participation of parents.

Key words: learning dif culties, music, postural stress, neuropsychological mechanisms, higher mental functions, neurocorrection.

BYKOV YU. V., ORCID ID: 0000-0003-4705-3823; C. Med. Sci., assistant of professor of the Department of anesthesiology, resuscitation and emergency medicine of Stavropol State Medical University, Russia, 355017, Stavropol, Mir str., 310, +7-962-443-04-92, e-mail: yubykov@gmail.com

Abstract. Aim. The aim of the study was to estimation of possible cognitive de cits in adolescents with type I diabetes mellitus at different stages of the disease. Material and methods. The study involved 52 adolescents (14–18 years old) with a diagnosis of type I diabetes mellitus, con rmed by both clinical and laboratory tests, and the presence of central nervous system damage (from impaired consciousness to sopor), marked hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis. The control group consisted of 26 adolescents admitted for scheduled surgical treatment (conditionally healthy children). Study protocol: cognitive function was assessed using the «Montreal Cognitive Scale»: at stage 1 – when the state of diabetes mellitus was stabilized, after initial admission to the hospital (restoration of consciousness to a clear level), and at stage 2 – two months later, at rehospitalization for routine follow-up in adolescents. The control group of adolescents was tested upon admission to the hospital for scheduled treatment. The obtained data were processed using Statistica 10 software. Differences between the groups were considered signi cant at p<0,05. Results and discussion. Cognitivedysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus was detected in both acute and delayed periods. Maximum manifestations of brain dysfunction in children with type I diabetes mellitus were observed exactly in the acute period upon stabilization of diabetes mellitus (restoration of consciousness level to clear, transfer from the intensive care unit to the endocrinology department). Cognitive dysfunction also persisted in children two months after discharge, at the stage of rehabilitation, although its severity was lower. The association between the severity of cognitive impairment, the duration of the disease, and the number of hospitalizations in the intensive care unit during the entire period of illness was revealed only for the acute period of the disease. Conclusion. The presented results con rm the hypothesis that the chronic course of type I diabetes in pediatric practice on the background of frequent exacerbations, manifested by ketoacidosis and hyperglycemia, leads to brain cell damage, which is manifested by brain dysfunction in the form of cognitive impairment throughout the course of the disease. In addition, it was found that the severity of cognitive impairment in adolescents with diabetes mellitus has a relationship with the number of hospitalizations to the intensive care unit and the duration of the disease (that is, with each subsequent hospitalization brain dysfunction increases), which can be explained by the gradual decompensation of neuroplasticity of the central nervous system.

Key words: diabetes mellitus, ketoacidosis, cognitive impairments, cerebral dysfunction.

Abstract. Aim. The aim of the study was to nd the relationship between changes in the level of interleukin 8 (IL-8) and changes in the main indicators of the blood coagulation system. Material and methods. Thirty-eight newborn infants were enrolled in the study. The rst (study) group included 17 premature infants with increased risk of haemorrhagic disorders. The second control group included full-term infants. The results of our own studies of haemostasis in premature infants are presented. Prothrombin levels, activated partial thrombin time, international normalized ratio, and brinogen were investigated. The level of proin ammatory interleukin 8 was also studied in both groups. Results and discussion. It has been shown that premature infants have a tendency toward hypocoagulation and increased levels of interleukin 8. This tendency increases in children born at an earlier term. Thus, the results obtained indicate that in the group of premature infants haemostasis parameters differ signi cantly as compared to the level of similar values in premature infants. Conclusion. The revealed changes re ect the reduced adaptive resource to birth stressand altered environmental factors. This suggests a high risk of haemorrhagic disorders in this group of children and requires the study of haemorrhagic disorder risk predictors.

Key words: premature infants, coagulogram, interleukin 8, hypocoagulation.

Abstract. Aim. The aim of the research was to conduct a marketing study of antiseptic agents used for personal protection for infectious diseases, including COVID-19 in the setting of one subject of the Russian Federation. Material and methods. Content analysis of normative-legal documentation describing antiseptic agents, Internet resources devoted to personal protective equipment (PPE), and web sites of pharmacy organizations was performed. Marketing analysis of the assortment of pharmacy organizations in the Republic of Bashkortostan was conducted. Results and discussion. Since 2010, according to Rospotrebnadzor FS, 4131 disinfectants have been registered, including 422 names of skin antiseptics. Since the beginning of 2020, 116 additional disinfectants have been registered. Safety and effectiveness of disinfectants is con rmed by chemical analysis, toxicity tests and microbiological tests. According to our sociological survey of residents of the Republic, 87,5% of respondents noted that during the COVID-19 pandemic they began to wash their hands and use hand sanitizers more often. Most respondents (82%) go to pharmacies for preventive and personal care products because they trust the quality of pharmacy products more. However, purchases are also being done on Internet sites, in shopping centers, in hardware stores, etc., with the price and availability of antiseptic agents more often being the main parameter in antiseptic selection. Conclusion. The conducted researchallowed us to determine the main properties of antiseptics, their characteristics, application features, as well as their market, which will allow consumers to choose the available means, focusing on the recommendations and rules.

Abstract. Clinical observations show that one of the risk factors for the onset and progression of dental disease is extreme exposure. Aim. The aim of the study was to reveal the nature of the in uence of extreme exposure on changes in saliva cortisol levels as well as on the development of pathological conditions of the oral cavity tissues. Material and methods. Electrochemiluminescence analysis of saliva, questionnaires in the study groups, and analysis of variance were performed. Results and discussion. The study determined an increased level of cortisol in saliva during theday; when its concentration should be minimal, it exceeded the indicators of the control group by 9,6 times. Against the background of high levels of cortisol in the oral cavity the existing pathological processes progressed, and the primary complaints typical for the beginning of in ammation of oral tissues appeared. Conclusion. Psycho-emotional stress in pediatric dentists increases salivary cortisol levels 9,6-fold. Prolonged maintenance of high levels of cortisol in saliva and high amplitude of frequent increases leads to persistent pathological conditions of oral tissues. Thus, monitoringthe condition of the sympathoadrenal system by controlling the qualitative composition of saliva can be recommendedas one of the options for early diagnosis of distress of various nature.

Key words: extreme exposure, stress, depression, oral cavity diseases, cortisol.

Abstract. Aim. An epidemiological study of epilepsy in the Mashtaga settlement of Sabunchu district of Baku, Azerbaijan Republic, has been conducted. The incidence and prevalence of epilepsy in different age groups of patients with epilepsy were studied. Material and methods. Cohort pro- and retrospective study was performed at the United City Hospital (UCH) No 7 in Mashtagha settlement and at the Department of Neurology of the Educational and Medical Unit of the Azerbaijan Medical University. Epilepsy cases were identi ed by a continuous study of medical outpatient records from the outpatient department of United City Hospital No 7 and call registration data of local ambulance station No 14 for the period 2017–2019. Fisher’s criterion was used to estimate qualitative parameters. Correlation analysis was performed using Pearson rank correlation coef cient. The results are presented at a signi cance level of p<0,05. Results and discussion. The primary incidence of epilepsy in Mashtaga settlement for 2016–2019 ranged from 4,4/100 000 (2016) to 6,4 cases (2019) per 100 000 population and the overall incidence ranged from 413,3/100 000 (2016) to 421,1/100 000 population. The prevalence of epilepsy was 4,2 cases per 1 000 population. When examining the value of epilepsy prevalence by gender and age, it was signi cantly higher in males [(4,9/1000 (49,1190/000)] than in females [3,4/1000 (34,3070/000)]. The prevalence of epilepsy was highest in males in the early ages of 15–19 years (14,8/1000) and in females in the late ages of 40–49 years (5,7/1000). The incidence rate was gradually increasing from 0–4 years to 15–19 years and decreased by age 60–69 years. Epidemiological rates of epilepsy in Mashtaga village are in line with those in developed European countries, but lower than those in rural areas of Turkey and Pakistan. Conclusion. The outcomeof the research con rmed the importance of studying the epidemiology of epilepsy. The ndings helped to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing system of registration of patients with epilepsy in the region, the types of therapy used, as well as rehabilitation measures. The elimination of shortcomings in the local health care institution and the creation of an epileptology service will increase the effectiveness of epilepsy control efforts in the region.

Key words: epilepsy, epidemiology, prevalence, incidence.

Abstract. Aim. The aim of the study was to analyze the data from real clinical practice of diagnosis and treatment of a new coronavirus infection obtained during the rst wave of the virus in Nizhny Novgorod Region. Material and methods. We analyzed 4,250 records in the regional register of patients with con rmed coronavirus infection. For detailed analysis, 184 medical records of inpatients of medical institutions in Nizhny Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod region with a diagnosis of con rmed coronavirus infection of different course and outcome were randomly selected. Of these, we used as analyzed groups the patients discharged with improvement (recovered) (n1 = 86) and those who died (n2 = 98). All patients underwent medical examination according to the current temporary clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 new coronavirus infection. Statistical processing was performed using Microsoft Of ce software package (Excel), USA and Statistica 10.0 (Statsoft, USA). Results and discussion. Our data allowed us to conclude that the prognosis is favorably in uenced by early hospitalization in the pulmonary stage of the disease, by early etiotropic and pathogenetic therapy, by the absence of concomitant disease, by adding systemic glucocorticosteroids on day 6–8 of hospitalization (which corresponds to the published data), and by tocilizumab. All patients received anticoagulants, but a more detailed analysis of the correlation of prescribed doses with prognosis is required to understand their impact on the outcome. Conclusion. Unfavorable prognostic factors were elderly age, cardiovascular and respiratory comorbidity, polymorbidity, late seeking medical care, 2 or more episodes of desaturation below 90% during treatment, increasing leukocytosis in the course of treatment, preservation of relative lymphopenia below 20% and monocytopenia in the course of treatment, preservation of high C-reactive protein, LDH and ferritin values despite the therapy.

Abstract. Aim. The aim of the study was to compare the methods of echocardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography in assessing local left ventricular contractility in silent myocardial ischemia; to consider the possibility of comparing the data of echocardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography of myocardium in such patients. Material and methods. An analysis of the medical literature devoted to the problem of interest was performed. Results and discussion. Echocardiography or single-photon emission computed tomography is commonly used to assess regional left ventricular contractility. Single-photon emission computed tomography provides assessment of both contractile function and myocardial perfusion and viability. Single-photon emission computed tomography is highly reproducible, and more promising for objective assessment of left ventricular function. Single-photon emission computed tomography can be used to differentiate hypoperfused, but still viable myocardium, from irreversible myocardial brosis. The advantages of echocardiography are due to the short duration of the procedure, its low cost and affordability. However, the results of echocardiography are often subjective and depend on the physician’s experience. In addition, Doppler studies are limited by the scanning angle and are not always suitable for patients with a suboptimal ultrasound window. Thus, both echocardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography assess both integral and regional left ventricular contractility. Comparison of echocardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography results helps to understand the comparability of their ndings. The results of echocardiography agree with the quantitative assessment of single-photon emission computed tomography. The revealed differences in regional contractility estimations are related both to the methodology of echocardiography and to the speci c features of cardiac diseases. Conclusion. Studies used to assess regional left ventricular contractility, such as echocardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography, despite their positive and negative aspects, cannot fully replace each other, and the data obtained with their help are not always the same. It should be taken into account that neither instrumental method has absolute diagnostic accuracy.

Key words: silent myocardial ischemia, echocardiography, perfusion scintigraphy.

Abstract. Determining the prognosis of a disease and risk strati cation are signi cant issues in practical medicine. Aim.The aim of the study was to estimate the prognostic value of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) in myocardial infarction according to the literature. Material and methods. A review and analysis of recent scienti c data on the prognostic value of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) were performed. Results and discussion. The searchfor new biomarkers that would provide additional information beyond the traditional clinical evaluation is ongoing. In cardiology, growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is considered to be such a new biomarker. GDF-15 is one of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily proteins, which is a marker of in ammation and oxidative stress. Serum GDF-15 levels have been found to be a powerful predictor of all-cause mortality in the general population, including a strong association with an increased risk of cancer of various causes and correlates with a history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The present review of the international literature presents current views on the prognostic value of GDF-15 in myocardial infarction. Increased levels of GDF-15 expression in cardiac tissue have been found in an experimental model of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases in mice. Several prospective studies have shown that the addition of GDF-15 as a component in multiple marker scales for cardiovascular event risk assessment can improve the patient reclassi cation. Conclusion. Thus, at present GDF-15 is considered by the scienti c community as a new biomarker of the risk of cardiovascular events.

Key words: growth differentiation factor 15, GDF-15, risk of cardiovascular events, risk strati cation scales.

Abstract. Idiopathic lumbosacral plexopathy is a disease characterized by lesions of the lumbar and/or sacral plexus that are not related to trauma, mass effect, or diabetes mellitus. Several cases of recurrent lumbosacral plexopathy have been described in the literature, but we found no indication for a painless form of recurrence, which is the reason why this clinical case was described. Aim. The aim of the study was to use the example of clinical case of a patient with idiopathic recurrent lumbosacral plexopathy to analyze the course of the disease depending on management tactics. Material and methods. A 49-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency neurology department with complaints of weakness, pain and sensory disturbances in the right leg. A neurological examination, including electromyography was performed. Results and discussion. According to electromyography, the changes indicated in favor of a lesion in the nerves of the right lumbosacral plexus. A neurological examination of the patient at the time of discharge and 9 months after showed a reduction in neurological symptoms. Four years after the patient’s rst admission to the emergency neurology department, weakness and sensory disturbances in the right leg increased again, but no pain syndrome was noted. The patient did not show a clear association between the recovery process at the rst exacerbation and medication intake, including methylprednisolone pullet therapy. Therefore, these groups of drugs were not prescribed at the second hospitalization, when spontaneous recovery was observed. Conclusion. At present, the cause of acute and recurrent lumbosacral radiculoplexopathy remains poorly understood; therefore, the treatment strategy in patients without a speci ed nature of nerve damage depends on the individual response to immunosuppressive and antiviral therapies. The waiting strategy with constant monitoring of neurological symptoms as illustrated by this clinical case allowed us to avoid prescribing ineffective drugs in this case as well as to con rm the theory of spontaneous recovery.

Key words: lumbosacral plexopathy, electromyography, recurrent form.
