FEMTOSECOND-ASSISTED DEEP ANTERIOR LAMELLAR KERATOPLASTY FOR KERATOCONUS: CONTEMPORARY CLINICAL PERSPECTIVES AND OUTCOME ANALYSIS

2025-06-24T15:39:28+00:00

Femtosecond-assisted deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (femto-DALK) represents a contemporary surgical approach for corneal pathologies that preserves the recipient's endothelium. Despite increasing clinical adoption, comprehensive analysis of femto-DALK advantages over conventional techniques requires further investigation. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 12 patients aged 18-42 years with stage III keratoconus who underwent femto-DALK between 2023-2024. Primary outcome measures included visual acuity, refractive outcomes, keratotopographic parameters, and healing characteristics. Best-corrected visual acuity of 0.6 or better was achieved in 66.67% of patients at 12 months post-operatively, with mean postoperative astigmatism of 2.1±0.9 D. Tissue interface precision was characterized by predictable residual stromal thickness of 15.6±5.3 um. Big-bubble formation was successful in 91.7% of cases, with conversion to penetrating keratoplasty required in only 8.3% of procedures. Postoperative complications were minimal, with complete anatomical apposition of Descemet's membrane confirmed by OCT in all cases. Femto-DALK demonstrates significant advantages in tissue interface precision and accelerated wound healing compared to conventional keratoplasty techniques, confirming high efficacy in achieving stable visual and refractive outcomes with enhanced surgical predictability.

USE OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TREATMENT OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH POLYTRAUMA

2025-06-24T16:02:52+00:00

The separation of polytrauma into a separate category is associated with the severity of the injuries, which should be taken into account when providing medical care. The combination of injuries to the chest, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system is of particular interest. These combinations of traumatic injuries are accompanied not only by traumatic shock, but also by the development of hemorrhagic and peritoneal syndromes. At the same time, damage to the musculoskeletal system complicates the diagnosis and treatment of victims with damage to the internal organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities, is a prerequisite for many life-threatening complications (shock, fatty embolism, respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia) in the 1st and 2nd periods of traumatic diseases.
One of the most severe and frequent injuries of the musculoskeletal system is bone fractures, which occur in 90-98% of patients with multiple injuries and in 62.0-78.9% of patients with combined injuries. Mortality among victims of polytrauma varies from 3.8 to 45.3%, and the disability rate reaches from 10.3% to 43.4%.

RISK FACTORS IN HYPERTENSION

2025-06-24T16:10:05+00:00

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is one of the most common chronic diseases in the modern world. This disease has a significant impact on the health of the heart and vascular system and can lead to many serious complications, including heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and eye diseases. Hypertension is often called the “silent disease” because most patients do not know they have it for a long time, as there are no obvious symptoms in the early stages. Therefore, it is very important to identify and manage the risk factors for hypertension.

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AS A PROGNOSTIC FACTOR AFTER BALLOON MITRAL VALVULOPLASTY USING THE INOUE TECHNIQUE: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF LONG-TERM OUTCOMES

2025-06-24T16:14:20+00:00

This study presents a comparative analysis of long-term hemodynamic outcomes and survival rates in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) who underwent balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) using the Inoue technique, considering the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and sinus rhythm (SR). A total of 358 patients were included and divided into AF (n=115) and SR (n=243) groups. Comprehensive assessments of clinical characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events as well as survival using the Kaplan–Meier method were performed. The results demonstrated that BMV effectively improved hemodynamic parameters in both groups, significantly increasing mitral valve area and reducing the transmitral gradient. However, patients with AF were older, exhibited more pronounced left atrial dilation, and had reduced left ventricular systolic function. Clinical outcomes in this group were less favorable, with higher mortality rates (19.1% vs. 0% in the SR group), increased hospitalizations, and complications. Event-free survival remained stable in the SR group throughout the follow-up period, whereas a significant decline was observed in the AF group. These findings emphasize the importance of early BMV intervention in patients with sinus rhythm to prevent the development of atrial fibrillation and improve prognosis. Patients with AF require prolonged follow-up and a comprehensive therapeutic approach to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. The results are critical for optimizing the management strategy of rheumatic mitral stenosis, taking into account the arrhythmic status of the patient.

LIVER MORPHOGENESIS IN FIRST-GENERATION RATS BORN TO FEMALES WITH INDUCED DIABETES MELLITUS DURING EARLY POSTNATAL ONTOGENESIS

2025-06-24T16:16:19+00:00

Background: The liver plays a critical role in metabolism, detoxification, hematopoiesis, and immune defense. The impact of maternal diabetes mellitus on liver histogenesis during early postnatal ontogenesis remains insufficiently studied, despite the increasing prevalence of diabetes among women of reproductive age and data indicating its effect on the development of fetal parenchymal organs. Methods: The experimental study was conducted on 50 white outbred female rats (25 control, 25 experimental) with diabetes induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (13 mg/100 g). Offspring (n=253) were examined on postnatal days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 30. Histological liver examination was performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining, and morphometric analysis was carried out with QuPath 0.5.1 software. Parameters assessed included lobule area and diameter, hepatocyte and nuclear dimensions, mitotic count, nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, and fibrotic changes. Results: In the control group, liver tissue demonstrated progressive formation of beam and vascular architecture, bile duct maturation, and a reduction in mitotic activity by day 30. The experimental group exhibited disorganized beam structure, persistent cytoplasmic vacuolization in hepatocytes, delayed development of portal tracts, and increased numbers of mitoses and binuclear cells. Morphometry showed significantly larger lobule and hepatocyte dimensions and moderate collagen accumulation in portal areas (p<0.001). Conclusion: Maternal diabetes mellitus has a significant negative effect on liver morphogenesis in offspring during early postnatal ontogenesis, manifested by delayed differentiation, architectural disorganization, and early signs of fibrosis.

This article reviews the characteristic ECG changes seen in AMI, including ST-segment elevation, ST-segment depression, pathological Q wave formation, and T wave inversion. It distinguishes between ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), explaining their diagnostic criteria and ECG features.

THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY ON THE MANIFESTATIONS OF METABOLIC SYNDROME IN WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE

2025-06-24T16:25:03+00:00

This prospective study included 150 outpatient women aged 16–41 years with metabolic syndrome (MS) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels below 30 nmol /L. All participants underwent anthropometry, bioimpedance measurement of body composition, assessment of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism parameters, and genotyping of FokI and ApaI polymorphisms of the VDR gene. The treatment protocol included daily intake of cholecalciferol at a dose of 10,000 IU, myo- inositol 4 g, and a low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) diet against the background of standard MS therapy with metformin.
After 12 weeks, the median 25(OH)D value reached the reference level; body mass index decreased by 7.8% (p < 0.01), waist circumference by 6.5% (p < 0.01). There was a significant decrease in HOMA-IR (–32%), triglyceride (–18%) and LDL (–11%) concentrations with a simultaneous increase in HDL (+9%). The most pronounced metabolic improvement was noted in carriers of the minor FokI -T and ApaI -C alleles.
For the first time in the population of Uzbekistan, a connection between vitamin D deficiency and MS with VDR gene polymorphisms was established, and the high efficiency of complex nutraceutical correction carried out against the background of an LCHF diet was confirmed. Based on the data obtained, a screening algorithm was developed that involves mandatory determination of 25(OH)D and genetic risk markers, which allows for personalization of therapy and increases its clinical and socio-economic effectiveness.

DISCUSSION ON OPTIMAL TREATMENT STRATEGIES FOR OVARIAN ENDOMETRIOSIS

2025-06-24T16:34:03+00:00

Ovarian endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological condition associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and decreased ovarian reserve. Despite its frequency, the optimal surgical approach remains controversial due to variability in diagnostic criteria and the potential risks associated with operative interventions. According to global estimates, endometriosis affects approximately 10–15% of women of reproductive age, with ovarian endometriomas observed in up to 44% of these cases. The burden of disease is particularly significant due to diagnostic delays, often averaging 7–10 years from symptom onset to confirmed diagnosis.
