In this article we present the main types of assignments that were offered to the schoolchildren – participants of the 2018 Russian Language Olympiad. Criteria used in the formulation and assessment of the assignments are provided. Reasons for introducing changes in the previously-used scheme are explained.

The article describes main directions in the selection of test materials for the All-Russian Olympiad (hereinafter Olympiad) for schoolchildren in the Russian language, as well as forms of their presentation. An analysis of some tests in the regional and final stages of the Olympiad was carried out. It is shown that the process of selecting test materials for the Olympiad is influenced by such problems of teaching the Russian language at school as formation of normative literacy skills, ability to work with various types of linguistic dictionaries and reference books, ability to evaluate the processes occurring in the modern Russian literary language.

Aim: to describe the epidemiology, possible causes and predisposing factors for the development of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. To follow the evo­lution of classifications. Analyze indications for surgical treatment, as well as types of surgical treatment.  Materials and methods: this review article analyzes the data of Russian and foreign literature on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis.  Results: in view of the frequent distribution in the population, high risks of disability in pediatric patients, the issue of treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis remains very relevant. Many methods of surgical treatment have been proposed depending on the stage of the disease, however, they have their own advantages and disadvantages.  Conclusions: Conservative treatment in the long term did not show good results, generally accepted, according to most sources of literature, surgical treatment is considered. The gold standard in the surgical treatment of the disease does not exist today, and the methods and tactics of treatment are being improved.

Aim: improvement of outcomes of slipped caput femoral epiphysis.Materials and methods: This article analyses the treatment of 198 patients with different stages of slipped caput femoral epiphysis.Results: due to the high rate of disability in patients with slipped caput femoral epiphysis and the variety of methods of surgical treatment of this pathology, the analysis of the most common treatment options for slipped caput femoral epiphysis, depending on the stage of the disease, was carried out and the algorithm to determine the most appropriate surgical treatment option was developed.Conclusions: The developed algorithm for surgical treatment choice in juvenile slipped caput femoral epiphysis makes it possible to decide on the treatment of slipped caput femoral epiphysis as quickly as possible and to perform surgical treatment at an early stage, immediately after the pathology is identified.The treatment methods used in the development of the algorithm are for the most part technically simple to perform. The fixation methods make it possible to carry out early activation and rehabilitation of the patient, which considerably improves the patient's quality of life.
