Abstract

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive, clinically variable neurodegenerative disease, and its prevalence is projected to double over the next 20 years. Practice shows that the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is based on clinical manifestations, and the key symptoms are bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor. In addition to motor defects, Parkinson’s disease is also associated with non-motor symptoms, including autonomic dysfunction, depression, anxiety and hallucinations, which can make it difficult to initially diagnose Parkinson’s disease. Therapy for motor defect includes levodopa/carbidopa-based drugs, monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors and dopamine agonists. However, prolonged use and higher doses of levodopa have not demonstrated the ability to slow the progression of the disease, leading over time to dyskinesia and fluctuations in motor symptoms. In this connection, neurosurgical methods of treatment are used in world practice for those who do not achieve adequate control during levodopa therapy. Despite the fact that in Parkinson’s disease, the help of a neurologist is fundamental, a general practitioner is often the first link for patients with early symptoms who need treatment and specialist advice.
The purpose of the study: analysis of clinical cases of Parkinson’s disease in the Karaganda region and drawing up a routing plan.
Materials and methods: a retrospective analysis of outpatient and inpatient records with a verified diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease according to age, gender, clinical stages according to the modified Hyun–Yar scale, the choice of therapy and the identified complications was carried out. An algorithm of actions at the outpatient level is provided, contributing to an effective interdisciplinary approach between a general practitioner, a neurologist and an office of extrapyramidal disorders.
Results. The average age of patients with the incidence of Parkinson’s disease in the Karaganda region was 66.5±9.02. The frequency of occurrence in women (n=138, 62.4%) prevails 1.6 times more than in men (n=83 37.5%). In the structure of morbidity, the most common age group among women was the age from 60 to 69 years (n=66), for men equally from 60 to 79 years (n=54). Alternative methods of neurosurgical treatment have been identified that can be considered in individual patients with PD to improve motor symptoms. The average duration of the disease was 7.3±2.3 (range 49-71 years) when selecting patients for surgical treatment according to international indications for deep brain stimulation.
Conclusion. In this scientific study, a retrospective analysis of gender, age data, clinical stages according to the modified Hen-Yar scale, the choice of therapy and identified complications with an established diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in the Karaganda region and a comparative characteristic with the available world statistics was carried out, discrepancies in indicators were identified, and the most likely cause of their discrepancy was identified, the main methods of treatment used in international practice were described, followed by comparison in practice in Kazakhstan and the Karaganda region.

Abstract

In modern conditions, a person’s professional activity is accompanied by the influence of various unfavorable factors that cause negative emotions and significant neuropsychological stress. The work of a nurse is no exception. In connection with the high psycho-emotional and physical stress in the work of a nurse, it is worth noting the increase in the level of stress among medical workers, which leads to a deterioration in health and work activity.
Significant work is performed by nurses in operating rooms. In various operating rooms, anesthetic, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are carried out, which can be both planned and emergency. The operating nurse must be able to apply theoretical skills in practice. In addition, in the operating room, the nurse must apply the skills of interdisciplinary practices and teamwork. The operating room medical staff is also working to improve patient care practices.
Due to the fact that nursing is present at all stages of the patient’s surgical treatment, it can be argued that the nurse is a change agent to transform the healthcare system for the better.
Chronic stress experienced by nurses can increase the risk of depression. In the work of a nurse, the mode of emotional security is important. The work associated with caring for sick people requires special responsibility, great physical and emotional stress. Psychological risk factors in the work of an operating room nurse can lead to various types of psycho-emotional disorders.

Abstract

Objective: Evaluation of the dynamics and level of sCD14-ST in blood serum in the development of SIRS, infectious and inflammatory complications, organ dysfunction and mortality in patients operated on for colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as for acute bowel obstruction (ABO) of tumor and non-tumor genesis.
Materials and methods: The study involved 120 patients: group 1 - 50 patients with CRC without ABO; group 2 - 40 patients with tumor ABO; group 3 - 30 patients with non-tumor ABO. sCD14-ST was determined in blood serum by enzyme immunoassay one hour before surgery and 72 hours after it.
Results and discussion: In patients with CRC, the level of sCD14-ST on the 3rd day after surgery was 2.4 times higher in deceased patients (Z= -2.630, p=0.009), and in patients with organ dysfunctions, an increase in the level of sCD14-ST by 30% in dynamics was observed, while in patients without them sCD14-ST decreased by 18% (Z=-2.468, p=0.014). If the value of sCD14-ST on day 3 after surgery is >520 pg/mL, the risk of death is 12.3 times higher (OR 12.3, CI 2.34-64.20). With an increase in the level of sCD14-ST in dynamics from the baseline or its decrease by no more than 8.8 pg/mL, the risk of organ dysfunctions is 6.5 times higher than with its greater decrease (OR 6.5, CI 1.66-25, 83).
Conclusion: Significantly worse outcomes and prognosis were observed in CRC patients with higher levels of sCD14-ST on day 3 after surgery.

Abstract

Feeding female rats fast food (fast food) caused physiological disturbances, as well as changes in blood composition. During the experiment, restless behavior of rats, a constant feeling of hunger, and a violation of concentration were observed.
During recovery, the rats remained calm but restless. During the experiment in the 1st group (experimental) there was an increase in platelets and hemoglobin. With general poisoning, the number of platelets increases with severe stress, because the body tries to compensate for the losses as much as possible. At the end of the experiment, loss of appetite was observed, which can be considered as a sign of high hemoglobin.
