The effect of the start date of cognitive rehabilitation after ischemic stroke on the level of recovery

The dependence of result of cognitive training in patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke (IS) on the timing of their onset continues to be discussed. The aim was to study the results of cognitive rehabilitation of patients after IS during various periods after it. 140 patients were examined during complex rehabilitation in terms up to 1, 2-3, 4-6 and 7-12 months after IS, 78 of them received drug support (DS) of rehabilitation with intravenous injections of ampasse. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to monitor the effectiveness of rehabilitation. In all subgroups, there was a statistically significant increase in the MoCA score after the course, but number of people with an increase in the score by 1 or more points was highest among those who started the course 3 or more months after the development of IS (p=0.015). Among those who received DS, an increase in the MoCA was noted in 87.2%, in those who did not receive it - 38.7% (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant increase in the severity of anxiety and depression after the course of treatment in any of the subgroups. The used approach of a combination of cognitive, physical rehabilitation and DS proved to be justified for achieving results during a two-week course of inpatient rehabilitation of patients both in the early and late recovery period after IS.

THE ROLE OF PSYCHOEMOTIONAL STRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFLAMMATORY POST-PROSTHETIC COMPLICATIONS

Relevance: Before starting the treatment, the patient's medical history should be carefully studied. Special attention should be paid to the presence/absence of diseases of the cardiovascular system, kidney disease, endocrine pathology, and the psychological state of the body. These diseases can directly affect the dental status and worsen the clinical picture. Psychoemotional stress and inflammatory post-prosthetic complications are reciprocal risk factors. Psychophysiological disorders can lead to the development of dental complications in the oral cavity and vice versa, mucositis can cause a stress reaction in a person. This assumption served as the purpose of this study. Materials and methods: During implant treatment, the analysis of the psychophysiological state in patients with inflammatory post-prosthetic complications was carried out according to 3 parameters (the results of the questionnaire, based on heart rate variability and using software), parallel to the assessment of the dental status in 30 patients. Stress and mucositis should be treated simultaneously, with sedation support where necessary. Outcomes: All patients showed a high level of stress. During the dental examinationthe presence of inflammation of the parotid tissue was detectes. Conclusion: Psychoemotional stress can be one of the initiating factors in the development of inflammatory complications during dental implantation. The main task of a dentist is, first of all, to identify the early stages of the development of the disease, and secondly, to provide not only symptomatic, but also pathogenetic treatment, taking into account the factors that facilitate the development of this pathology.

Palliative sedation and analgesia in the terminally ill children. Report of two cases and review of the literature

We present the case of two children with cancer in the final stage of life, we describe the treatment given in this phase based on palliative sedation and analgesia to provide comfort to the patients and to offer calm to their relatives. We reviewed the literature information on support of sedation and analgesia at this stage of life, and the use of drugs such as midazolam and morphine. With the information provided in this article we expect physicians to convince themselves that opportune sedation and analgesia are useful and beneficial at the terminal stage of life.

Approach to concomitant rectal and uterine prolapse: case report

The classic description of rectal prolapse is a protrusion of the rectum beyond the anus. Peaks of occurrences are noted in the fourth and seventh decades of life, and most patients (80-90%) are women. The condition is often concurrent with pelvic floor descent and prolapse of other pelvic floor organs, such as the uterus or the bladder. In this study, two cases having contraindication to general anesthesia with rectal and uterine prolapse are presented. These cases were operated on under local anesthesia with support of sedation by Leforte and Delorme's operation at the same time. In conclusion; pelvic floor disorders should be considered as a whole, and surgical correction of rectal prolapse and uterine prolapse may be done at the same time under local anesthesia with the support of sedation. Performance of these operations by experienced and trained pelvic reconstructive surgeons may be advocated.
