Summary: The relevance of the study is due to the need for theoretical, methodological and practical justification of the formation of effective prevention of major noncommunicable diseases. Prevention of non-communicable diseases is possible through the development and implementation of a system of legal, economic and social measures. The aim of this study was to make a comparative assessment of the quality of life of patients with CHF, depending on whether they attend the appropriate health School or refused to attend it.
Materials and methods: The study was conducted with the involvement of 600 patients, who were divided into three groups: patients with CHF attending School of health, who refused to attend it and patients with other somatic pathology. The quality of life assessment was conducted by interviewing and included the study of activity in everyday life, clinical and functional disorders, cognitive dysfunction and psychological comfort in patients with CHF. As a result, it was found that patients with CHF, who refused to attend the School of health, are more likely to be expressed violations of activity in everyday life, 2.38 times more often than patients with CHF, attending School, found weighting clinical and functional class of CH, more often revealed cognitive impairment and psychological dysfunction, manifested depression and anxiety. Thus, it is necessary to develop comprehensive therapeutic and preventive measures carried out on the basis of polyclinic health care institutions and aimed at preserving and strengthening the health of patients suffering from CHF.
Calf augmentation is a quite popular surgery in Russia. However, there is insufficient data on complications after the implants’ installation, its analysis is missing, and methods for correction and prevention of complications are not developed.
The author has the experience of 53 re-surgeries after calf plasty with implants. The incorrect selection of implants was the cause of correction in 36 patients, the surgeon’s errors in their installation — in 7, the implant displacement — in 4, and its contouring — in 6 women. The analysis of each group of complications was performed.
The author considers the installation of implants under the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle as the method of choice for secondary surgery, which prevents implant displacement and isolates it from the previously formed cavity. The result of the correction directly depends on the proper selection of implants. The author recommends using his own method of implant selection, considering the length of the gastrocnemius muscle and the harmony of the leg contour. Sufficient knowledge of the anatomy of the lower leg is necessary to eliminate technical errors.
Implant visualization after calf augmentation for aesthetic reasons was observed in 26 out of 561 cases, and in 3 of those cases an implant replacement surgery was required. To a large extent, contouring of the implant is observed due to its design. The advantage of custom-made implants of improved shape is shown.
The study of the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of diseases of the stomach, conducted by many authors, shows that a certain number of patients have a number of functional and organic disorders that not only reduce the quality of life of the patient, but can also cause disability or even death. It is considered that one of the most important pathogenetic factors in the development of the disease of the operated stomach is a way to restore gastroin-testinal continuity. A major role is played by the elimination of the pylorus and duodenal passage, which “is, - as Ivan Petrovich Pavlov wrote, a grave violation of the unity of the digestive system.”
Currently in the literature there are more than 70 names and terms denoting the manifestation of the disease of the operated stomach: dumping syndrome, afferent loop syndrome, agastral asthenia, hypoglycemic syndrome, etc. However, it should be recognized that all of them reflect only a part of the problem are postgastrectomy and postgastrectomy disorders.
The importance of this problem is also due to the fact that in some patients, after gastrectomy, severe digestive disorders develop, leading in almost 25% of cases to permanent disability. In this case, often the only possible method of treatment is reconstructive surgery performed at various times after the initial intervention.
Due to the dramatic demographic shifts occurring in the composition of the population, an increase in the average life expectancy, the need has arisen for new principles of treatment and preventive services for the population, taking into account the characteristics of an aging organism.
Gerontologists adopted an age classification, according to which the age up to 40 - 45 years old is considered young, from 45 to 60 years old - average, from 60 to 75 - old, from 75 to 90 - old. People over 90 years old are considered long-lived.
One of the most characteristic features of the global aging of the population of the planet is the pronounced growth of people 75 years and older in the population of the elderly. Experts of the WHO Committee point out that “the problem is not only that the population grows, but also that its further“ aging ”is noted as the number of people living longer grows. The group of “elderly” creates additional difficulties for the health and social services.
This article describes the relevance and methods of providing neuro-orthopedic rehabilitation to elderly people in gerontological centers.
In the article devoted to the 90th anniversary of the birth of Professor, Honored Scientist of the RSFSR Anatoly Leonovich Gushcha, he briefly describes the main stages of his life and work, achievements and contribution to the development of the Department of Hospital Surgery of the Ryazan Medical Institute and surgery in general. Under his leadership, the department actively developed the issues of endoscopic diagnostics and surgery, x-ray studies, extracorporeal methods of detoxification, treatment of purulent-destructive diseases, the use of low-intensity laser radiation and other advanced technologies in surgery. Reconstructive operations on the biliary tract, pancreas, esophagus, gastric passage, stomach and many others were improved.
Also, the professor was engaged in educational activities and wrote a number of methodical manuals on all program questions of surgery, as well as over 180 scientific papers. Under the guidance of the professor eight doctoral and 15 candidate dissertations were prepared. Five of his students have the title of professor.
Anatoly Leonovich conducted a great deal of public work. For 10 years he headed the department of postgraduate and residency, he was the chairman of the board of the Regional Society of Surgeons, a board member of the All-Russian and All-Union Society of Surgeons.
He was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor, the Order of Friendship, the badges of the Honored Health Career and the Higher School of the USSR, the diploma of the Ryazan Regional Executive Committee and the Minister of Health of the USSR in 1997 he was awarded the honorary title «Honored Worker of Science of the Russian Federation». His work left a mark not only in the history of surgery, but also in the memory of his students and many grateful patients.
