Aspergillosis covers a wide range of diseases caused by the genus Aspergillus fungi. Aspergillus saprophytic mold is widespread in the environment; its spores are easily inhaled. However, despite the fact that most people inhale aspergillus spores daily, aspergillosis develops mainly in immunocompromised individuals (due to illness or during immunosuppressive therapy).the lungs are affected most often, being the portal for the fungus penetration, but the naso-orbital sinus is also involved in the process. There are few reports on extrapulmonary aspergillosis. Even rarer in the literature are publications about the co-infection of a saprophytic fungus and a hydatid cyst. Only single clinical observations of the coexistence of aspergillosis and echinococcosis in the lungs have been described. No literature data are available on the coexistence of these two pathogens in the liver. The authors present a clinical case of a 54-year-old woman with two echinococcal cysts in the liver and Aspergillus revealed in their structure. The co-infection of liver echinococcosis and aspergillosis is extremely rare. Preoperative verification of the presence of local aspergillosis in this case is practically impossible. However, early diagnosis and treatment are vital, preventing possible complications from becoming infected with these two pathogens. Treatment is based on an early morphological diagnosis and the detection of both pathogens.
The article discusses the application of simulation technologies in teaching practical skills of the subject of forensic medicine. The potential of using mannequins and phantoms in the educational process is briefly described as an opportunity to improve students’ mastering of the practical part of classes, in particular, the possibility of simulating classes on “examination of a corpse at the scene”, which in turn forms future expert doctors, clinical thinking and experience, the development of psychological comfort and adequate reasoning in critical conditions. Some of the processes of conducting practical classes on the basis of the Andijan branch of the republican scientific and practical center of forensic medicineare also described.
The spread of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills is essential for surviving cardiac arrest. Virtual Reality (VR) pulmonary resuscitation training is the cheapest and easiest method for medical students to learn how to apply chest compressions at the right speed and depth. The study examined the compliance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation with quality criteria performed using virtual reality.
The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the use of modern simulation technologies in teaching of the subjects “Emergency Medical Care” and “Resuscitation and Intensive Care”, where the robot “Apollo” and the interactive program “BodyInteract” were used, with the help of which it was possible to recreate a complete clinical picture of the thematic material being passed, with the subsequent formation of clinical thinking and experience among students, after the possibility of unlimited repetitions of clinical situations without harming the health of patients and controlling the mental barrier in the oncoming professional activities of future doctors.
In our country, the use of registered patients during internship in the form of simulation for training in psychiatry is considered appropriate. This is the first study at our faculty using simulated psychiatry training. The purpose of this study is to propose a new method of teaching psychiatry to undergraduate students at the department and evaluate its feasibility and initial effectiveness. We chose depressive psychosis for modeling because this syndrome is common today and is found even among students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
