Results of treatment of HER 2-positive breast cancer

The incidence of malignant mammary tumors (MMT) is one of the first among oncological diseases in the world and in Turkmenistan. According to the WHO data, 1 million 700 thousand women fall ill annually in the world [1]. Immunohistochemical (IHC) and other molecular genetic studies are of great importance in determining the biological characteristics of MMT [2-4].

Comorbidities of coronary heart disease in Turkmenistan

According to the WHO, in 2018, 17,9 million people die annually from cardiovascular disease (CVD), and this is 31% of all deaths in the world [8]. Most of the patients seeking medical help for CVD, and in particular coronary heart disease (CHD), have several diseases of the internal organs. Comorbidity in CHD in Turkmenistan has not yet been studied enough. In this regard, the study of factors that can affect the course of CHD continues to be an important task of fundamental and clinical cardiology. The aim of the work is to study the presence of comorbid conditions and the structure of comorbidity in patients with stable angina pectoris in Turkmenistan.

Optical coherence tomography for the diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss. This pathology is bilateral and leads to primary disability in people over 50 years old. According to various sources, central vision impairment due to AMD was observed in 10% of people aged 65-75 years, and in people over 75 years old in 30% [2, 3]. Genetic factors and the environment play an important role in the development of AMD. Risk factors include hypertension, atherosclerosis, smoking [1, 3, 4]. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of optical coherence tomography for the diagnosis of AMD.

And Again about Hy­gie­ne, Masks and Dis­tance

Man­da­to­ry ob­servance of the ru­les for preven­tion of various di­sea­ses has become a neces­sa­ry con­di­tion of the pre­sent ti­me. We talk much about the ru­les of per­so­nal hy­gie­ne, since clean­li­ness is al­ways a key to health. Comp­liance with per­so­nal and pub­lic hy­gie­ne prevents the spread of a hu­ge num­ber of in­fectious di­sea­ses trans­mit­ted through dir­ty hands, hou­se­hold items and air­bor­ne drop­lets. Per­so­nal hy­gie­ne, re­gu­lar­ly was­hing hands, ob­serving the etiquet­te of coug­hing and snee­zing and kee­ping social, sa­fe, dis­tance are gua­ran­tees of the pre­servation of per­so­nal health and care for the health of ot­hers. So, an im­por­tant con­di­tion for main­tai­ning health is per­so­nal hy­gie­ne and, above all, hand hy­gie­ne. To­day, even young child­ren know that hand was­hing is one of the most ef­fective hy­gie­ne procedu­res. It is avai­lab­le to any per­son, it prevents the mas­sive spread of in­fectious agents and sig­ni­ficant­ly re­duces the risk of in­tes­ti­nal and viral in­fections. Hand hy­gie­ne has a wi­de ran­ge of pro­tecti­on. It shows sig­ni­ficant preven­tive re­sults, is on a par with vaccina­tion. Ho­wever, a procedu­re per­for­med poor­ly will not give the de­si­red ef­fect.

Rules of behaviour in hot weather

Clothing hygiene requirements are especially important in hot weather for ensuring freedom of breathing and air circulation. On such days, it is necessary to wear loose clothing made of natural fabrics, to put on light headwear and to carry a bottle of water with you. On days with a high air temperature (above 38 °C), do not go outside without special need, especially during the period of maximum solar activity (from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.). In a room with air conditioning, the temperature should not be set below + 23 ° ... + 25 °C.

Seasonal Illness Prevention Tips:

Include vegetables and fruit, fish, dairy dishes and other food products rich in vitamins A, B1 and C in the diet.

How to protect yourself from heat?

Extreme summer temperatures raise health and wellbeing issues. It should be noted that summer heat causes not only harm, but also has a certain benefit, especially at low humidity. Under the influence of the sunrays, vital substances are produced in the body, water-salt metabolism is activated, and much fluid is excreted through the skin, which facilitates the work of kidneys. Dry heat and sunlight favourably affect painful joints. However, there is a risk of dehydration, heat- or sunstroke. For the body to function normally, it is necessary to consume a sufficient amount of fluid during a day - doctors say about 1.5-2 litres of drinking water. Compotes made from dried fruit, fresh fruit and vegetable juices are also beneficial. However, it should be borne in mind that these drinks may contain high amounts of sugar, which carries a certain risk.

Hot Weather Requires Attention

Despite the fact that almost every day we are warned from TV screens and newspaper pages about the negative effects of hot weather on the body, many of us continue to ignore them, not wanting to understand to what exposure to the sun can lead during its peak hours. After all, this is the shortest way at best case scenario to sun or heat stroke and at worst – heart attack, stroke or cancer of the skin. To avoid the effects of heat and to maintain your health as much as possible, you must carefully follow the recommendations of doctors, sanitary physicians and nutritionists. These recommendations are not so many, but on abnormally hot days they are a kind of lifesaver for most of our readers. So...

Influence of seasonality on lipid peroxidation processes in pregnant women

Lipid peroxidation (LPO) reactions are a natural link of various metabolic processes. LPO activation is one of the important pathogenetic mechanisms of the onset and development of free radical pathology. In addition, highly sensitive LPO processes are actively involved in the body's responses to the action of various environmental factors [6, 7]. The intensity of LPO processes was judged by the content of its final product, malondialdehyde (MDA) [8].

Studying the possibilities of combined application of digital and traditional technologies in orthopedic dentistry

CAD/CAM – a modern technology for the production of dentures using computer-aided design and automated manufacturing on machine tools is one of the most promising areas in prosthetic dentistry. By using CAD/CAM technology, it is possible to produce various dental prostheses of the highest precision, excellent biocompatibility and flawless aesthetics with high work automation. Using CAD/CAM systems, it is possible to create single crowns, short and long bridges, telescopic crowns, individual abutments for implants, recreate the full anatomical shape for press-ceramic models, create temporary crowns, sprig teeth, inlays and veneers. The material can be zirconium dioxide, titanium, ceramics, cobalt-chromium alloy, plastic, wax.

Innovative digital technologies for ophthalmic screening and monitoring of premature infants

Pathology of the vision organ in premature infants (PI) is one of the leading problems in pediatric ophthalmology. The most severe diseases are retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), partial atrophy of the optic nerve, glaucoma, congenital myopia, developmental anomalies leading to blindness [1, 2]. For newborns weighing less than 2500 g, the introduction of a systematic approach to early detection of retinal pathology, conducting methods of careful ophthalmological monitoring to prevent irreversible changes are of medical and social importance [3]. This is due to the specificity of its clinical manifestations, early onset (the first weeks of a premature baby's life) and rapid course [7].
