Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is an infrequent yet significant complication of primary varicella infection in immunocompetent children. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl who presented three days into her chicken pox illness, with a rapidly progressing, severely tender erythematous rash surrounding one chicken pox lesion on her thigh. She required intravenous antibiotics, two surgical debridements, a skin graft and a prolonged stay in the paediatric intensive care unit, but ultimately we were able to save her life and limb. NF is a rare complication of chicken pox that has high morbidity and mortality that requires prompt and specific treatment.

The article deals with the problems of increasing the efficiency of wood resources processing. It shows the developed methodical approach to increase the processing efficiency. It consists of five stages, which all are disclosed in detail providing examples. Approbation of the proposed approach justifies the expediency of its use and substantial economic benefits for wood processing enterprises.

Timber industry complex is one of those industries where in domestic practice there is a powerful reserve of growth. Moreover, its source can and should be the resource potential. The latter should be understood not only as wood resources, but also the whole complex of resources interrelated with the main and auxiliary resources processes. It makes sense that to increase the efficiency of industry, we need to identify both key (labor, financial, raw) and minor (land, information). Managing the whole complex of resources and attracting their new types and combinations with increasing quality is the most important task on the way to increase the efficiency of the processes in the timber industry enterprise. At the same time, the process of processing wood resources is recognized as determinant one in profits generation. The article presents the results of developing a model for managing a timber industry complex in the context of sustainable development.

The article deals with the priority areas of research in the development of Russian timber industry complex. The most important areas of research are highlighted. It is determined that the scientific (theoretical) perception does not always coincide with the applied (practical) aspects of the industry. The most problematic areas in the development of the timber industry were identified. Key attention is paid to technological and logistical aspects.

The article deals with the problems of using software to solve the problems of timber logistics. Tools for information processing and analysis are proposed. The possibilities of using software products to optimize the activities of enterprises of the forest industry are shown. Further directions on the use of modern information technologies in timber industry logistics are revealed.
