Bureaucratic Pathology in Public Services at The Office of the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Supiori District

Bureaucratic pathology is the problem that arises in the service at each government agency that has an impact on public services that are less effective and efficient. The purpose of this study was to determine the pathology of bureaucracy in public services at the Supiori Regency Population and Civil Registration Office and the efforts made to minimize pathology bureaucracy so that there are alternatives and solutions in completing services. The method in this research uses a qualitative descriptive approach in analyzing problems that occur in the field that are used by researchers in natural object conditions, where researchers act as key instruments. The results of the study show that the form of bureaucratic pathology found in the Office of the Population and Civil Registration Service in Supiori Regency is still found that service-convoluted convoluted, the delay in completing the printing of the E KTP is due to the unavailability of blanks ; lack of employee discipline when coming to work, negligence of officers in service time management so that there is uncertainty when it will be finished, there are differences in service to the community, especially persons who prioritize relatives or family then efforts are made to minimize bureaucratic pathology with regulations that are appropriate and strict with officers, simplification of procedure services and logical explanations so that people understand the conditions that occur.

Ocular findings in a population of geriatric equids in the United Kingdom.

There are a growing number of horses, ponies, and donkeys aged 15 years or older in the United Kingdom, yet there have been no studies utilising a complete ophthalmic examination to investigate the prevalence of ophthalmic pathology within this population. To investigate the prevalence of ophthalmic pathology and associations with signalment, in a convenience sample of geriatric equids in the United Kingdom. Cross sectional. Horses, ponies, and donkeys aged 15 years or older based at The Horse Trust charity underwent a full ophthalmic examination including slit lamp biomicroscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Relationships between signalment and pathology were assessed using Fisher's exact and Mann-Witney U tests. Fifty animals were examined ranging from 15 to 33 years (median 24, interquartile range [IQR] 21, 27). The prevalence of ocular pathology was 84.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 73.8, 94.2%; n = 42). Four animals (8.0%) had adnexal pathology, while 37 (74.0%) and 22 (44.0%) had at least one form of anterior or posterior segment pathology, respectively. Of those with anterior segment pathology, 26 animals (52.0%) had cataract in at least one eye, with the most common location being anterior cortical (65.0% of those animals with cataract). Animals with posterior segment pathology included 21 animals (42.0%) with fundic pathology, with senile retinopathy being the most common (42.9% of all animals with fundic pathology). Despite the high prevalence of ocular pathology, all eyes examined remained visual. The most common breeds were Irish Draught (24.0%, n = 12), Shetland (18.0%, n = 9) and Thoroughbred (10%, n = 5); the majority were geldings (74.0%, n = 37). There was a statistically significant relationship between the presence of anterior segment pathology and breed (p = 0.006), with all Cobs and Shetlands examined having anterior segment pathology. The presence of posterior segment pathology and senile retinopathy were associated with older median age (posterior segment pathology: 26.0 years [interquartile range {IQR} 24.0, 30.0 years] vs. 23.5 years [IRQ 19.5, 26.5 years], p = 0.03; senile retinopathy: 27.0 years [IQR 26.0, 30 years] vs. 24.0 years [IQR 20.0, 27.0], p = 0.04). None of the pathologies investigated were more prone to affect one versus both eyes (p > 0.05; 71.4% of ocular pathologies were bilateral while 28.6% were unilateral). Data were obtained from a relatively small sample size of a single cohort of animals that lacked a control group. There was a high prevalence and wide range of ocular lesions in this subset of geriatric equids.

Enhanced functional detection of synaptic calcium-permeable AMPA receptors using intracellular NASPM.

Calcium-permeable AMPA-type glutamate receptors (CP-AMPARs) contribute to many forms of synaptic plasticity and pathology. They can be distinguished from GluA2-containing calcium-impermeable AMPARs by the inward rectification of their currents, which reflects voltage-dependent channel block by intracellular spermine. However, the efficacy of this weakly permeant blocker is differentially altered by the presence of AMPAR auxiliary subunits - including transmembrane AMPAR regulatory proteins, cornichons, and GSG1L - which are widely expressed in neurons and glia. This complicates the interpretation of rectification as a measure of CP-AMPAR expression. Here, we show that the inclusion of the spider toxin analog 1-naphthylacetyl spermine (NASPM) in the intracellular solution results in a complete block of GluA1-mediated outward currents irrespective of the type of associated auxiliary subunit. In neurons from GluA2-knockout mice expressing only CP-AMPARs, intracellular NASPM, unlike spermine, completely blocks outward synaptic currents. Thus, our results identify a functional measure of CP-AMPARs, that is unaffected by their auxiliary subunit content.

Clinic and pathophysiology of false sensory perceptions in the scientific views of Viktor Kandinsky

In the monograph «Kritische und klinische Betrachtungen im Gebiete der Sinnestäuschungen» (1885) and in its Russian version «On pseudohallucinations» (1890) V.Kh. Kandinsky was the first in the world to present a detailed differentiation of clinical forms of false sensory perceptions, specificating simple hallucinations, dream-like hallucinations and two varieties of pseudohallucinations. He set out descriptions of phenomena that resemble false perceptions, but are not them: unvoluntary speech, some forms of pathology of the ideation sphere, and pathology of the imaginary sphere. Several mental states described by the author later entered the psychiatric lexicon under new names: «speech-motor hallucinations» (Séglas), «delusion of the imagination» (Dupré and Logre), «autistic thinking» (Bleuler), «hypotonia of consciousness» (Berze), «oneiroid form of experience» (Mayer-Gross). Kandinsky supplemented clinical descriptions with an original pathophysiological hypothesis. The author believed that the thalamus, specific to each modality and multimodal cell groups of the sensory cortex, centers of abstract (symbolized) representations, and Broca’s center are involved in various configurations in the acts of sensory perception and the origin of the forms of his deceptions; the state of the frontal functions and the nature of the reflection of images of perception in consciousness are of paramount importance.The author illustrated his hypothesis with schemes of differentiated involvement of thalamocortical and transcortical networks. This article analyzes the reasons why Kandinsky’s hypothesis remained unknown to specialists until recently, and his descriptions of the forms of false sensory perceptions were taught in a distorted or simplified form. Despite the target testing of the hypothesis having never been carried out, all its main provisions are confirmed by the results of modern research. Russian psychiatrists successfully apply the systematics of hallucinations developed by Kandinsky in clinical practice. Remaining to this day the only clinical and pathophysiological hypothesis, Kandinsky´s clinical and pathophysiological hypothesis is extremely promising for studying the etiopathogenesis of mental illness and developing effective means of treating them.

The Translatability of Experience

Abstract Fanon considered that colonial alienation produced multiple forms of relational pathologies, many of which expressed themselves in and through blockages in communication rather than through explicit conflict. Exposing the role of language as a vector of racial violence and colonial oppression, Fanon also presented it as a potentially revolutionary medium of decolonization. The article has two aims: firstly, to give an account of Fanon's ongoing concern with language, in part by underscoring three very different influences in Fanon's expansive conception of its role—those of Aimé Césaire, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and François Tosquelles. Secondly, the article aims to rearticulate the function of language in Fanon's theory of colonial disalienation by drawing on a specific trajectory in his clinico-political thought: from diagnoses of untranslatability or incommunicability to analyses of decolonization as the radical transformation of the subject's experience of language.

Relative Effects of Sexual Assault and Temperament Traits on Cognitive Characteristics of Histrionic Personality Disorder.

Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a common and problematic form of personality pathology involving excessive attention-seeking, often through overly sexualized means. Much of the research on HPD has involved the association between HPD characteristics and basic temperament traits. Given the sometimes hypersexualized presentation of HPD, another potential influence on HPD characteristics may be exposure to sexual assault. However, there is little research on the association between sexual assault and HPD in general or with respect to temperament traits in particular. In this study, we examine the relative associations of sexual assault and temperament traits with the cognitive characteristics of HPD in a large sample of college students (N = 965) using a Bayesian approach to the analysis of covariance. Results suggest that sexual assault is associated with HPD cognitive characteristics over and above the robust influence of temperament traits. The study findings have implications for future research on and clinical intervention with people with HPD.

Peculiarities of physical therapy of patients with neuromuscular dysfunctions

The orientation of physical therapy for neuromuscular dysfunctions, the role and place of the components of physical therapy, and the use of technical means were studied. It is shown that in the international database of genetic information there are more than 500 hereditary syndromes with damage to the nervous system, including about 250 nosological forms of neuromuscular pathology. It is important that the difficulty of early diagnosis of these diseases, frequent false primary diagnoses delay the start of treatment and rehabilitation measures, which leads to the development of severe disability. Symptoms of progressive muscular dystrophy appear in different age periods, but more often in childhood and adolescence. Movement disorders become persistent and progress, generalized or local muscle atrophy is revealed during the examination, accompanying diseases of the bone-joint system, internal organs, cardiovascular and neuroendocrine systems, etc. develop. The main part of the work is devoted to the study of the impact of physical therapy on the patient's morphofunctional state and quality of life. It is shown that since 2014, neuromuscular diseases in Ukraine have the status of orphan diseases - the prevalence does not exceed 1:2000. When planning physiotherapeutic measures, it is necessary to proceed from the pathogenesis of the disease: start early, use almost all rehabilitation means - therapeutic physical culture, massage, physiotherapy, orthotics, classes at technical complexes.

Galectins in Equine Placental Disease

Galectins are proteins that bind to glycans in targeted cells and function in cell-to-cell signaling throughout the body. Galectins have been found to be involved in various reproductive processes, including placental dysfunction, but this has not been investigated in the horse. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess alterations in galectin expression of the abnormal placenta in pregnant mares. Next-generation RNA sequencing was performed on the postpartum chorioallantois of two placental pathologies following clinical cases of ascending placentitis (n = 7) and focal mucoid placentitis (n = 4), while chorioallantois from healthy postpartum pregnancies (n = 8; 4 control samples per disease group) served as the control. When evaluating ascending placentitis, both galectin-1 (p < 0.001) and galectin-3BP (p = 0.05) increased in the postpartum chorioallantois associated with disease, while galectin-8 (p < 0.0001) and galectin-12 (p < 0.01) decreased in the diseased chorioallantois in comparison with those in the control. In mares with focal mucoid placentitis, numerous galectins increased in the diseased chorioallantois, and this included galectin-1 (p < 0.01), galectin-3BP (p = 0.03), galectin-9 (p = 0.02), and galectin-12 (p = 0.04), in addition to a trend toward increases in galectin-3 (p = 0.08) and galectin-13 (p = 0.09). In contrast, galectin-8 expression decreased (p = 0.04) in the diseased chorioallantois in comparison with that of the controls. In conclusion, galectins alter in abnormal placentae with variations observed among two forms of placental pathologies. These cytokine-like proteins may further our understanding of placental pathophysiology and warrant attention as potential markers of placental inflammation and dysfunction in the horse.

Modern aspects of Helicobacter pylori infection

A systematic review of current data on the structure and functions of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of Hp-infection is presented. The relevance of the topic of helicobacteriosis is due to the proven connection of this infection with chronic, widespread diseases of the digestive organs among the population. The review used materials from the databases including PubМed, Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, RSCI. A systematic review based on studies with a high degree of evidence has shown significant progress in the diagnosis and treatment of Hp-infection in recent years in adults and children. Coordination of the scientific search for the regularities of the formation of Hp-associated forms of pathology, continuous improvement of diagnostic technologies and the search for new therapies, periodic well-organized international revisions of standard methods of Hp diagnosis and treatment contribute to the creation of effective methods of Hp eradication, preservation of the optimal composition of the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract and prevention of antibiotic resistance. Of particular importance for the prevention of complications of Hp-infection are original diagnostic algorithms using specialized endoscopic and molecular technologies before and after Hp eradication with long-term follow-up and the determination of the leading factors correlating with a high risk of stomach cancer. The review indicates the emergence of potentially effective and promising areas for the diagnosis and treatment of Hp-infection, including genetic modification of the Hp genome to ensure its existence as a human symbiont and a significant reduction in its pathogenic properties. At the same time, sequencing of a new generation reveals mutations in Hp genes associated with its pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance, which contributes to the creation of new classes of drugs to increase the effectiveness of Hp eradication with a decrease in the proportion of antibiotics and an increase in pathogenetically significant inhibitors of its pathogenic factors for the prevention of side effects, a significant reduction in the empirical use of several antibiotics and increased compliance to treatment.

Placental Mitochondrial Function and Dysfunction in Preeclampsia.

The placenta is a vital organ of pregnancy, regulating adaptation to pregnancy, gestational parent/fetal exchange, and ultimately, fetal development and growth. Not surprisingly, in cases of placental dysfunction-where aspects of placental development or function become compromised-adverse pregnancy outcomes can result. One common placenta-mediated disorder of pregnancy is preeclampsia (PE), a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy with a highly heterogeneous clinical presentation. The wide array of clinical characteristics observed in pregnant individuals and neonates of a PE pregnancy are likely the result of distinct forms of placental pathology underlying the PE diagnosis, explaining why no one common intervention has proven effective in the prevention or treatment of PE. The historical paradigm of placental pathology in PE highlights an important role for utero-placental malperfusion, placental hypoxia and oxidative stress, and a critical role for placental mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis and progression of the disease. In the current review, the evidence of placental mitochondrial dysfunction in the context of PE will be summarized, highlighting how altered mitochondrial function may be a common feature across distinct PE subtypes. Further, advances in this field of study and therapeutic targeting of mitochondria as a promising intervention for PE will be discussed.

Genetics and pathophysiology of mitral valve prolapse.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition affecting 2-3% of the general population, and the most complex form of valve pathology, with a complication rate up to 10-15% per year in advanced stages. Complications include mitral regurgitation which can lead to heart failure and atrial fibrillation, but also life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia and cardiovascular death. Sudden death has been recently brought to the forefront of MVP disease, increasing the complexity of management and suggesting that MVP condition is not properly understood. MVP can occur as part of syndromic conditions such as Marfan syndrome, but the most common form is non-syndromic, isolated or familial. Although a specific X-linked form of MVP was initially identified, autosomal dominant inheritance appears to be the primary mode of transmission. MVP can be stratified into myxomatous degeneration (Barlow), fibroelastic deficiency, and Filamin A-related MVP. While FED is still considered a degenerative disease associated with aging, myxomatous MVP and FlnA-MVP are recognized as familial pathologies. Deciphering genetic defects associated to MVP is still a work in progress; although FLNA, DCHS1, and DZIP1 have been identified as causative genes in myxomatous forms of MVP thanks to familial approaches, they explain only a small proportion of MVP. In addition, genome-wide association studies have revealed the important role of common variants in the development of MVP, in agreement with the high prevalence of this condition in the population. Furthermore, a potential genetic link between MVP and ventricular arrhythmia or a specific type of cardiomyopathy is considered. Animal models that allow to advance in the genetic and pathophysiological knowledge of MVP, and in particular those that can be easily manipulated to express a genetic defect identified in humans are detailed. Corroborated by genetic data and animal models, the main pathophysiological pathways of MVP are briefly addressed. Finally, genetic counseling is considered in the context of MVP.

Antioxidant Thymoquinone and Its Potential in the Treatment of Neurological Diseases.

Oxidative stress is one of the main pathogenic factors of neuron damage in neurodegenerative processes; this makes it an important therapeutic target to which the action of neuroprotectors should be directed. One of these drugs is thymoquinone. According to modern data, this substance has a wide range of pharmacological activity, including neuroprotective, which was demonstrated in experimental modeling of various neurodegenerative diseases and pathological conditions of the brain. The neuroprotective effect of thymoquinone is largely due to its antioxidant ability. Currently available data show that thymoquinone is an effective means to reduce the negative consequences of acute and chronic forms of cerebral pathology, leading to the normalization of the content of antioxidant enzymes and preventing an increase in the level of lipid peroxidation products. Antioxidant properties make this substance a promising basis for the development of prototypes of therapeutic agents aimed at the treatment of a number of degenerative diseases of the central nervous system.

Antibiotic resistance and mecA characterization of Staphylococcus hominis from filarial lymphedema patients in the Ahanta West District, Ghana: A cross-sectional study.

Filarial infections affect over 150 million people in the tropics. One of the major forms of filarial pathologies is lymphedema; a condition where the immune response is significantly altered, resulting in changes in the normal flora. Staphylococcus hominis, a human skin commensal, can also be pathogenic in immunocompromised individuals. Therefore, there is the possibility that S. hominis could assume a different behavior in filarial lymphedema patients. To this end, we investigated the levels of antibiotic resistance and extent of mecA gene carriage in S. hominis among individuals presenting with filarial lymphedema in rural Ghana. We recruited 160 individuals with stages I-VII lymphedema, in a cross-sectional study in the Ahanta West District of the Western Region of Ghana. Swabs from lymphedematous limb ulcers, pus, and cutaneous surfaces were cultured using standard culture-based techniques. The culture isolates were subjected to Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry for bacterial identification. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was performed using the Kirby-Bauer method. mecA genes were targeted by polymerase chain reaction for strains that were cefoxitin resistant. In all, 112 S. hominis were isolated. The AST results showed resistance to chloramphenicol (87.5%), tetracycline (83.3%), penicillin (79.2%), and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (45.8%). Of the 112 strains of S. hominis, 51 (45.5%) were resistant to cefoxitin, and 37 (72.5%) of the cefoxitin-resistant S. hominis haboured the mecA gene. This study indicates a heightened level of methicillin-resistant S. hominis isolated among filarial lymphedema patients. As a result, opportunistic infections of S. hominis among the already burdened filarial lymphedema patients in rural Ghana may have reduced treatment success with antibiotics.

Caroli syndrome in children: a brief review and clinical observation

A review of domestic and foreign literature on the disease and Caroli syndrome is presented. The review includes a historical background and a modern view on the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease, its place among fibrocystic diseases of the liver. Caroli’s disease is a rare genetic pathology, characterized by a wide clinical and morphological polymorphism from severe variants with fibrosis in the neonatal period to cases with manifestation at a late age. The genetic causes of pathology, in particular, mutations associated with autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant forms of polycystic kidney disease, have been studied. A large number of described mutations and the predominance of complex heterozygotes among patients explains the diversity of clinical forms of pathology. The relationship between the genotype and phenotypic variants of pathology has not been determined. In Caroli’s disease, in addition to cystic changes in the liver and kidneys, damage to other organs and systems, in particular cerebral vessels, can be observed. Extrahepatic and extrarenal symptoms of the disease are described, as well as combinations with various genetic diseases. A clinical case of Caroli syndrome in a child observed by the authors from birth is presented. The disease manifested as congenital cystic transformation of the kidney. Hepatic pathology was detected at the age of 5 years. Subsequently, there was a rapid progression of liver damage with the development of severe complications: cirrhosis of the liver, portal hypertension, edematous syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy. At the age of 11 years, the patient successfully underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. The presented case demonstrates the late detection of hepatic damage, its rapid progression. Despite the presence of severe complications, liver transplantation was a success and the patient is currently in a stable condition compensated for all functions.

Patterns and features of the course of the early and late stages recovery period after ischemic stroke associated with COVID-19

Introduction. COVID-19 increases the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), but the impact of COVID-19 on the recovery period of IS remains poorly understood.The aim of the study – to identify patterns and features of the course and manifestations of the early and late stages of the recovery period after ischemic stroke associated with COVID-19.Materials and methods. The combined retro-prospective study included 81 patients. Patients were divided into three groups: 1) development of stroke followed by outcome in ischemic stroke (IS) associated with COVID-19 (n = 21); 2) COVID-19 infection without stroke (n = 40); 3) development of stroke without COVID-19 (n = 20). All subjects were interviewed by telephone within 12 months from the date of discharge from the hospital. In patients with stroke, the severity of stroke (NIHSS scale), functional status (Rankine scale), and daily activity level (Bartel scale) were studied. All subjects were interviewed by telephone within 12 months from the moment of discharge from the hospital, the following were assessed: complaints, general condition of patients, the patient’s level of activity and ability to self-care, emotional status and the presence of anxiety and depressive disorders. The following were retrospectively assessed: stroke severity, functional status, volume of lung lesions according to MSCT, the presence of cardiovascular diseases, indicators of general and biochemical blood tests, changes in blood levels of cytokines IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α.Results. The highest mortality at the post-hospital stage (only 67 and 47% of the total number of deaths) was in patients who had an ischemic stroke associated with COVID-19; half of them were registered in the first 3 months; by the end of the 6th month, this figure was 79%. Deaths in patients with IS due to COVID-19 occur 6 months earlier than in the group of patients with stroke without COVID-19. The leading causes of fatal outcomes in patients with IS due to COVID-19 in the first 3 months were acute myocardial infarction and repeated strokes. A high frequency of unfavorable rehabilitation prognoses and deaths both in the acute period of the disease and at the post-hospital stage was observed in patients with high comorbidity with forms of pathology of the circulatory system.Conclusion. Patients who have had an ischemic stroke associated with COVID-19, in the first 3 months of the post-hospital period, are at an increased risk of developing thrombotic complications and death and require special attention of outpatient doctors in this period after discharge from the hospital.

Legal Policy on Gambling Crime

Gambling is a form of social pathology that poses a real and potential threat to social norms so that it threatens social order. Thus, it will greatly impact on national development with material-spiritual aspects which must therefore be addressed in a rational way. One of these rational efforts is the policy approach to criminal law enforcement regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP) in accordance with the amendments by Law no. 7 of 1974 concerning the regulation of gambling. However, the policy formulation of laws and regulations has several weaknesses. At the applicative stage, the judge is not free to determine the types of criminal sanctions that will be imposed on the perpetrators of gambling crimes. This is due to the general minimum system and the general maximum system adopted by the Criminal Code, so that any type of criminal sanctions contained in the law must be applied by judges. Policies for dealing with gambling crimes in the future must still be carried out by means of a penalty. Policy formulation of criminal law must be more optimal and able to reach the development of criminal acts of gambling with advanced technology.

Involutionary forms of skeletal muscle pathology

Involutionary forms of muscle pathology for the neurological community is ‘terra incognita’. The purpose of this publication is to describe clinical forms, pathogenesis, diagnostic and treatment methods of skeletal muscle diseases in the aging population.

A comparative clinical evaluation of Herbal and synthetic dentifrices in dentinal hyper-sensitivity

Background:&#x0D; Dentin hypersensitivity could be defined as a short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli typically thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic, or chemical and which cannot be ascribed to any other form of dental defect or pathology. In Ayurveda Dentinal Hypersensitivity can be compared with Dantaharsha. When teeth are sensitized to cold/breeze, hot, dry and sour eatables and have pain and shaky feeling, the condition is called ‘Dantaharsha’. Toothpastes are the most widely used dentifrices for delivering over-the-counter desensitizing agents. The aim study was to evaluate the effect of Herbal dentifrices in Dentinal hypersensitivity. The objective of this study was to prepare palatable formulation of Herbal Dentifrices to maintain oral health and prevent oral pathologies&#x0D; Materials and Methods:&#x0D; In this open-labelled, randomized, controlled study, 60 assenting patients between 18-40 years of age were enrolled and randomized into trial and control groups, after obtaining EC approval and informed consent.

Structure of comorbidity in ascending aortic aneurysm

Aim. To analyze the comorbidity structure in patients with ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) in the Siberian Federal District (SFD).Material and methods. The study included 163 patients (114 men (56,8±12,1 years) and 49 women (59,4±10,4 years)) with ascending TAA, who underwent open surgical treatment at the Cardiology Research Institute of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center. Concomitant pathologies were assessed on the basis of anamnesis and paraclinical investigations. Comparison of the prevalence of concomitant diseases in the group of patients with ascending TAA between men and women, as well as between patients ascending TAA in the SFD, other groups of patients with this pathology, population samples and patients with other cardiovascular diseases was performed using the χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test in the Statistiсa 12 program.Results. In patients with ascending TAA, hypertension (67,5%), bicuspid aortic valve (44,2%), coronary artery disease (38,6%), arrhythmia (31,3%), and heart failure (27,6%). Atherosclerosis of the aorta, coronary and carotid arteries occur with a prevalence of 12,9%, 16,6% and 5,5%, respectively. Among other forms of pathologies, the most common are connective tissue dysplasia (65,6%), obesity (12,3%), and chronic obstructive bronchitis (9,8%). In men with ascending TAA, myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation are detected more often than women (11,4% and 20,2% vs 2% and 6,1%; p&lt;0,05), and in women — carotid atherosclerosis and impaired cerebral circulation (12,2% and 18,4% vs 2,6% and 5,3%, p&lt;0,05). Compared to other compared groups, aortic, coronary and carotid atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and type 2 diabetes were less frequently recorded in patients with ascending TAA in the SFD.Conclusion. Patients with ascending TAA in the SFD are characterized by a complex structure of comorbidity, including both cardiovascular pathologies and related risk factors, and other pathologies, including diseases of the lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, infectious and cancer diseases. To confirm the presence of inverse comorbidity between ascending TAA, atherosclerosis of other location, and type 2 diabetes, large-scale epidemiological, morphological, and molecular genetic studies are needed, which will reveal the fundamental mechanisms underlying it.
