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.

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].

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.

Local Climate There is an Ally of Your Health

The Bayramali sanatorium, the oldest one in Turkmenistan, is a health resort gem of the country. It will be 90 years in two years. The main type of therapy used at the Bayramali resort is climatotherapy. Many scientists have been studying the beneficial effects of the local climate on patients with nephritis, methods of treatment, indications and contraindications. The unique properties of the climate zone where the resort is located have been known since the beginning of the last century – the local dry air proved to be curative for patients diagnosed with kidney diseases. As a climatic resort, the sanatorium, designed for 25 patients diagnosed with nephritis, officially began to work in 1933, and its development was gaining momentum. The 1941–1945 war made adjustments to the fate of the health resort. The sanatorium accommodated an evacuation hospital during the first months of the war, and the Research Institute of Climatology and Balneology, evacuated from Sochi, worked there later. During the war, the health resort helped thousands of defenders of the Motherland restore their health. After the war, patients with kidney diseases continued to receive treatment at the sanatorium. From November to March, the sanatorium accepted patients with cardiovascular diseases. The experience of treating these disorders has proved to be highly effective over many decades, and the Bayramal
