Aim. To determine the role of personalized approaches in the rehabilitation of patients with neurogenic dysphagia after acute disorders of cerebral circulation (ADCC) in the early recovery period.Materials and methods. The study included 97 patients (53 men and 44 women with the mean age of 69.5) in the early recovery period after ADСС. All the patients were at the second stage of medical rehabilitation. The treatment program included the following methods of logopedic rehabilitation: disinhibition of the act of swallowing; stimulation of the sensitivity of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity; recovery of respiratory and speech functions; selection of the consistency of liquid and solid foods to ensure the safety of swallowing during feeding; selection of the feeding method and appropriate portions to facilitate the patient’s eating.Results. When developing a personalized program of logopedic rehabilitation, the following aspects were considered: the severity of swallowing dysfunctions; the primary speech defect; patient compliance; the degree of cognitive dysfunctions; motivation for recovery.Conclusion. The application of logopedic rehabilitation methods in combination with specialized multidisciplinary care based on personalized approaches can significantly improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the risk of undesired complications.

In this article, we discuss the current state and future directions in the field of forensic genetics. The DNA analysis of biological traces found at a crime scene, which was first used in a criminal investigation in 1987, did revolutionize forensic science. Over the past three decades, significant advances have been made in the recognition capacity, speed, and sensitivity of DNA profiling methods, as well as in their capability of typing increasingly complex patterns. Creation of DNA databases of criminals and crime scenes, as well as population allele frequencies, allows suspects to be identified from crime scene samples and DNA evidence to be statistically processed to verify its reliability. At present, it has become possible to identify even single cells left at a crime scene and to successfully analyze ancient human remains. Forensic DNA profiling can be used to identify not only individuals known to the investigating authorities. Experts are increasingly applying new genetic markers that can expand the scope of DNA profiling methods. Modern developments enable extraction of new types of forensically significant information from biological traces, e.g., using molecular approaches to searching for individuals previously unknown to investigators. New methods have been proposed to identify the relationship between the donors of forensic samples and the crimes committed. Modern advances in the decoding of the human genome, as well as the availability of genome-wide analysis and sequencing techniques, pave the way for new forensic DNA tools capable of enhancing the quality of forensic science in the near future.

Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of a combined rehabilitation program for infants with perinatal lesions of the central nervous system in the form of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Materials and methods. In total, 173 six-month-old children who underwent hypoxia were included in the observational study. The rehabilitation program included medical massage and hydrokinesotherapy; myostimulation of the muscles of the back and limbs; dry immersion method; treatments on a Grosso simulator; ergotherapy; therapy with an elastic pseudo-boiling layer; speech therapy massage. The Griffith mental development scale was used to assess the psychomotor development of infants.Results. Following a course of combined rehabilitation, a positive dynamic in improving functional disorders in children of the first year of life who underwent perinatal HIE was revealed. This effect was associated with improvements in motor and sensory functions, indicators of speech development and understanding speech, emotions and communication, thinking and play activity. A reduction in the backlog of psychomotor development by 1–2 checkup periods and a reduction in the risk of obtaining the status of a disabled child by 12 months was established.Conclusion. Combined programs of long-term rehabilitation for infants with perinatal lesions of the central nervous system were confirmed to be effective due to the pos itive dynamics of functional activity indicators, acceleration of the formation of life support skills, and a threefold reduction in the level of disability.

Aim. To assess the content of CO and COHb in exhaled air and the level of blood pressure (BP) in the working-age population of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk when using various means of nicotine delivery.Materials and methods. The study participants (n = 503) were surveyed using a questionnaire. The BP and oxygen saturation parameters were assessed. The content of CO and COHb content in exhaled air was measured using a smokerlyzer. Statistical processing was performed using nonparametric methods.Results. The study group was dominated by males (58.3%). A high incidence of smoking was observed among females, with up to 42% in the general group and 48.8% in the group of consumers of alternative nicotine delivery systems (ANDS). A correlation between the content of CO and COHb and the smoking experience of more than 10 years was established, regardless of the means of nicotine delivery. Arterial hypertension was registered among 39.8% of the surveyed participants, with a higher frequency in cigarette smokers (28.8%, p = 0.02). This was associated with a greater proportion of individuals (62%) with a long smoking experience of more than 10 years (p = 0.003). A weak direct correlation was established between an increase in blood pressure and the content of CO and COHb (p < 0.001).Conclusion. The share of females as active consumers of tobacco products has grown, particularly in the form of ANDS. Among smokers, the average high level of CO and COHb prevails, which correlates with the smoking experience of more than 10 years and does not depend on the means of nicotine delivery. A direct relationship between the intensity of smoking and the risk of hypertension was established.

The content of CO and COHb content in exhaled air was measured using a smokerlyzer. Statistical processing was performed using nonparametric methods.Results. The study group was dominated by males (58.3%). A high incidence of smoking was observed among females, with up to 42% in the general group and 48.8% in the group of consumers of alternative nicotine delivery systems (ANDS). A correlation between the content of CO and COHb and the smoking experience of more than 10 years was established, regardless of the means of nicotine delivery. Arterial hypertension was registered among 39.8% of the surveyed participants, with a higher frequency in cigarette smokers (28.8%, p = 0.02). This was associated with a greater proportion of individuals (62%) with a long smoking experience of more than 10 years (p = 0.003). A weak direct correlation was established between an increase in blood pressure and the content of CO and COHb (p < 0.001).Conclusion. The share of females as active consumers of tobacco products has grown, particularly in the form of ANDS. Among smokers, the average high level of CO and COHb prevails, which correlates with the smoking experience of more than 10 years and does not depend on the means of nicotine delivery. A direct relationship between the intensity of smoking and the risk of hypertension was established.","PeriodicalId":19705,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Medical Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139871926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we generalize the results a research study into natural healing resources in the Far East. The regions of the Russian Far East possess a significant and unique natural potential for comprehensive medical rehabilitation. The main therapeutic resources of the area, including its climate, mineral waters, and therapeutic muds, are characterized. Issues associated with the task of integrated use of natural and physical resources in effective spa treatment and comprehensive rehabilitation are discussed. The major action mechanisms of natural therapeutic factors widely used in spa treatment are outlined, and the possibilities of their integration with the system of medical rehabilitation are substantiated.
