Rules for staying healthy

Often, the cold season and constant changes in the weather are accompanied by colds and acute respiratory diseases. The reason is that many people forget about basic precautions, dressing lightly, neglecting personal hygiene and not giving the body proper rest. The observance of basic rules will help prevent the disease and stop its development. However, first let’s figure out how the disease begins. The penetration of the causative agent of an infectious disease (viruses or bacteria) into the body of a healthy person is called infection. Sources of an infectious disease, a sick person or a healthy carrier, release microorganisms into the environment, which can enter the body of a healthy person through the air (when sneezing and coughing), things of common use, food and water.

Influence of turkmen juniper decoction on hepatic tissue of laboratory rats in experimental atherosclerosis

These days, atherosclerosis and diseases associated with it are the main cause of disability and high mortality in most countries of the world [2]. One of the etiological factors of atherosclerosis is dyslipidemia, which leads to proatherogenic stimulation and initiation of a dysfunctional state of endothelium. The aim of the work is to study the influence of decoction of fruits of Turkmen juniper on hepatic tissue of laboratory rats with experimental atherosclerosis.

Effectiveness of use of licorice root infusion in frequently ill children

Children who often suffer from acute respiratory infections (ARI) are an urgent medical and social problem in pediatrics. Phytotherapy plays an important role in the treatment and prophylaxis of ARI in frequently ill children (FIC), in particular, the use of licorice root [6]. The active ingredient of licorice root is glycyrrhizinic acid (GA), which has antiviral, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects [1]. GA is active against DNA and RNA containing viruses, including various strains of viruses Herpes simplex, Varicella zoster, human papillomaviruses, cytomegaloviruses. GA inhibits viruses at concentrations that are non-toxic for normally functioning cells [10, 11, 14]. In this regard, we decided to study the effectiveness of using infusion of licorice root in FIC.

Clinical results of plasmotherapy in combination with a bandage lens in the treatment of keratitis

Inflammatory eye diseases, in particular keratitis, which are the cause of temporary disability in 80% and the cause of blindness in 10-30% of cases, remain a serious social problem in practical ophthalmology [2]. In order to achieve epithelialization of corneal wound, the use of autologous serum is widespread [1]. The next stage in the development of this technique was the use of platelet-rich plasma [2, 4, 5].

Antiparasitic treatment of residual cavity of liver echinococcosis in surgery

Liver echinococcosis is a serious problem for countries with endemic foci of this parasitic disease. The recurrence rate after surgery reaches 22,3-31,3%. One of the debatable issues in surgical treatment of liver echinococcosis is a choice of techniques in relation to fibrous capsule of a cyst [3, 8, 10-12]. The aim of the work is to study the results of ultrasonic antiparasitic treatment of residual cavity of liver after echinococcectomy with simultaneous hepatoprotection of liver parenchyma.

Clinical assessment of oral cavity condition in children with dentofacial anomalies

Dentofacial anomalies (DFA) are a complex problem of modern pediatric dentistry, which the WHO includes among the priority areas [8]. Scientific research indicates a direct relationship between orthodontics and periodontics [3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12]. The aim of the work is to identify early stage of chronic catarrhal gingivitis (CCG) in children with DFA using a clinical assessment of the hygienic status of oral cavity and periodontal indices.

Experimental tests of tincture from turkmen mandragora leaves

In the third volume of the encyclopedic publication "Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan", the President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov gives a biological characterization of Turkmen mandrake (Mandragora turcomanica). Turkmen mandrake belongs to the nightshade family, height 20-40 cm, leaves in the form of rosettes with a diameter of 160 cm, the lower ones of which are 80 cm long, and the upper ones are shorter. Valuable qualities of Turkmen mandrake are frost resistance and a long growing season, which allows to consider mandrake a promising vegetable plant for selection work. The medicinal properties of this plant have been known since ancient times. Mandragora was used as a sleeping pill, narcotic drug. Other properties of this plant are described: emetic, diuretic, hemostatic. Information is presented about the use of mandrake in the treatment of acute pain and cramps in the eyes, solid tumors and purulent ulcers, and poisonous insect bites.

Once, when she was having a bath, the capital city was besieged by enemies. Twisting her wet hair, which she vowed to wash after the victory, the queen jumped on her horse and at the head of the army rushed to the enemies.
