The epidemiological situation of parasitic diseases in Kyrgyzstan is unfavorable, especially for echinococcosis and alveococcosis, although there is a tendency to reduce the incidence of enterobiasis and ascariasis. Students are a risk contingent, since they do not conduct systematic examinations to identify a particular parasitic pathology, as is done in children and adolescent age groups. In addition, the main problem of the prevalence of parasitic diseases is not resolved – the preventive focus. he purpose of this work was: 1) a survey of first-year students of the medical faculty of KRSU and respondents from the Internet community to assess the level of awareness and risk of infection with parasitic diseases; 2) prevention: the development of a self-help program for parasitic diseases, as well as the publication and distribution of an information leaflet on the most common parasitic diseases (giardiasis, echinococcosis, alveococcosis, ascariasis and enterobiasis). A specially developed questionnaire for assessing the awareness and risk of infection with parasitic diseases included questionnaire data (5 questions) and 15 questions for assessing the risk factors for parasitic diseases among respondents and assessing the level of awareness of the ways they were infected. The comparative sample included: 120 first-year students of adolescent age (18–20 years old) from the medical faculty of KRSU specializing in General Medicine and 202 people aged 18–25 from the Internet community. By gender, among the surveyed students, girls predominated — 60%, boys accounted for 40%. Conversely, male respondents dominated the Internet sample (60%), and 40% belonged to women. The survey involved students living in the city (70%), and only 30% — in the villages. 91% of Internet respondents lived in cities, and 9% of them in villages. The questionnaire of first-year students of the Faculty of Medicine of KRSU and respondents from the Internet community reflected knowledge gaps regarding parasitic diseases transmitted primarily by water, alimentary and contact-household. For the effective prevention of parasitic diseases, we have developed a self-help program addressed to students and information leaflets.
Studies on the role of lipid metabolism disorders in the progression of such life-threatening conditions as heart attacks, acute cerebrovascular accident and diabetes mellitus have been updated during the period of a new coronavirus infection. COVID-19 is an infectious disease characterized by impaired immune system processes, the production of a large number of pro-inflammatory cytokines with multiple organ damage. The article is devoted to the study of the problem of lipid spectrum disorders in patients after COVID-19 from the standpoint of the progression of chronic inflammation and changes in the cytokine status. We selected and studied the results of analyzes of 473,627 respondents in the period from 2010 to 2022. Two conditional groups were considered: before the COVID-19 pandemic and during the pandemic. A comparative analysis of the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL was carried out. The article reveals the actual problem of the impact of coronavirus infection on the risks of the cardiovascular system.
This article discusses the problem of informing students of medical universities in Kyrgyzstan about CMVI, as well as an analysis of the population survey by ELISA for the detection of specific immunoglobulins of class M and G for 7 years (2014–2020). The article provides an analysis of the surveyed by sex of all ages, which allows us to conclude that the bulk of the surveyed are women of childbearing age. Thus, cytomegalovirus infection poses a particular danger to the fetus, up to its intrauterine death. The work is interdisciplinary in nature, written at the intersection of medical microbiology, epidemiology and public health and health care. Considerable attention in the work is paid to the fact that those examined by the ELISA method for specific IgM are ten times less than for the detection of specific IgG. Although it is the detection of specific IgM that poses a particular danger to the fetus — it can lead to its especially life-threatening complications such as: heart disease, retinopathy, which can lead to blindness, deafness and even mental retardation, intrauterine hypotrophy, immaturity, prematurity, chronic intrauterine fetal hypoxia. The idea is substantiated how important it is for future and practicing doctors to inform the population about this infection, which will help in the future to timely detect IgM and possibly save the fetus from intrauterine death. Using the results of an ELISA test for the detection of specific IgM and IgG, which today is one of the most reliable and affordable ways to detect a disease, the author proves in his studies the huge problem of informing and examining the population. The topic under consideration will be of particular interest to specialists in the field of public health and health care, since this is a truly national problem. The presented work indicates that CMVI is currently a serious medical and social problem. This problem is extremely poorly understood and requires further study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
