In the Russian Federation, there is a tendency to increase the incidence of a number of nosologies, the prevalence of chronic diseases and the deterioration of health among children and adolescents. Diseases of the digestive organs occupy a leading place in the structure of somatic pathology of childhood.
According to the statistical data of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania (RNO – Alania), for seven years the prevalence of pathology of the digestive organs, including inflammatory bowel diseases, among children and adolescents has increased in the republic as a whole and regions separately. By 2022, it is predicted that the level of general and newly detected morbidity among children with pathology of the upper digestive tract will increase by 1.5-2 times.
Preoperative assessment of an echinococcal liver cyst with surrounding tissue structures is extremely important for planning the course of surgical intervention. The paper presents the first experience of treating a patient with a parasitic cyst using three-dimensional reconstruction of the liver affected by echinococcus at the preoperative stage. The use of this approach made it possible to avoid the development of intraoperative complications and get a good treatment result.
In recent years, cases of diseases of the digestive tract among preschool and school-age children have become significantly more frequent. This article analyzes the influence of various factors (heredity, living conditions, age, gender, lifestyle) on the likelihood of morbidity.
Chronic pathology of the upper digestive tract in the vast majority of children begins at preschool age with further significant growth from the moment they attend school. Close attention is required by children whose parents and immediate relatives suffer from gastroenterological diseases.
Modern diagnosis of the disease will reduce the risk of development and progression of the most common pathology of the digestive organs of childhood and avoid the development of severe complications.
The mean count of cells with chromosome aberrations increased in a 72-h culture of peripheral blood lymphocytes of children with Helicobacter pylori-associated gastroduodenal diseases. After eradication therapy, intensification of clastogenesis was observed in the majority of children. Addition of vetoron to the treatment protocols reduced manifestations of clastogenesis.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-TTP (Moschcowitz's disease) is one of the most severe forms of microangiopathy, which is characterized by intense platelet aggregation, thrombocytopenia consumption, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and ischemic damage to various organs. TTP is extremely rare for children and, therefore, it is difficult for clinicians to verify the disease and determine a treatment program. The disease has an aggressive course. When there is no adequate therapy, it can be fatal. The paper provides the analysis of a clinical case of an eleven-year-old girl with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
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.
