Chicken pox in the Russian Federation in recent years has maintained a consistently high level of rating in the structure of infectious diseases and the magnitude of economic damage from infectious diseases.Purpose:was to assess the epidemiological features of chicken pox in adults over 18 years in the Voronezh region.Methods.Materials the study was of the form of Federal state statistical supervision over 2006 – 2017 years. The method of retrospective epidemiological analysis was used. Statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel.Results.In recent years, in the Voronezh region there has been an increase in the incidence and hospitalization of adults diagnosed with varicella. In persons older than 18 years, more severe course and complications were observed. Cases of varicella were reported as an infection related to medical care. The sources of infection for nosocomial cases were pregnant women and healthcare professional.Conclusions.In order to prevent introduction and spread of chicken pox in medical organizations of the region it is necessary to consider the immunization of contingents at risk. It requires the introduction of a permanent statistical monitoring of individuals with a diagnosis of «Shingles».
Adaptive potential is an indicator of the level of adaptability of the human body to various and changing environmental factors. The adaptive capabilities of the body are influenced not only by external factors, but also by internal - the state of the body as a whole, by the presence or absence of chronic diseases. Therefore, the adaptive potential was used as an integral indicator of a person's adaptability to production factors. The aim of the study was to assess the adaptive capabilities of the organism of workers in greenhouse farms in the Voronezh region. The study was carried out at the enterprises of the closed ground of the region by the method of questioning, the objects of the study were 125 women aged 27-45 years. In most cases, there are violations of the adaptive capabilities of the organism among the studied workers of greenhouse farms, and even a breakdown in adaptation was revealed in 0.8%. In less than half of the cases, the adaptive potential of the greenhouses was within the normal. The adaptive reserves of the greenhouses workers decrease with age.
According to the results of the study, it was found that from 15.10.20 to 21.10.20. -the time of the beginning of the second wave of the rise in morbidity -significantly more often in public transport people observed the mask regime, but a third were without masks (p <0.0001). From 22.10.20 to 28.10.20 -the period of transfer of schoolchildren and students of the city to a distance learning format -reliably more often people in public transport were without masks (p <0.0001).The change in the structure of observance of the mask regime in public transport, on the one hand, can be explained by a sharp decrease in passenger traffic, the lack of control by drivers (cashiers), on the other hand, by the lack of commitment of city residents to comply with the requirements of sanitary legislation.
Background: To increase public confidence in vaccine prevention and to actually assess the safety of vaccines against COVID-19, it is necessary to study the frequency and structure of adverse events after immunization in the post-registration period of vaccine use. Aim: is to assess the frequency and structure of adverse events after immunization against COVID-19 among young people. Materials and methods: a single center cross-sectional study was conducted based on a questioning of 333 respondents aged 1825 years (76.88% female, 23.12% male). The questionnaire included 2 groups of questions: general and special (nature of post-vaccination reactions, history of COVID-19 disease before and after vaccination). Statistical processing of the results was carried out using standard Microsoft Office Excel 2016 software packages. Results: The most common complaints after vaccination were soreness at the injection site (57.66%), weakness (54.65%) and body aches (24.92%). There were local and general/combined (weak, moderate, strong) reactions, they were observed in 30.93% of respondents after 1 dose and 45.35% after 2 doses. In the structure of reactions after the first immunization, general weak reactions (15.32%, p=0.001) were significantly more common than others (15.32%, p=0.001), after the second - local ones (21.92%, p0.0001). A strong correlation was established between responses to the 1st and 2nd doses of the vaccine (r=0.94, p0.0001). When studying the frequency and structure of post-vaccination reactions in gender groups and in those who had COVID-19 before vaccination and those who did not, no significant differences were found. Conclusion: The study found that among young people, the majority did not have objective reactions after immunization against a new coronavirus infection. General weak and local reactions were more common among the objective post-vaccination reactions.
