plăci şi placarde, inclusiv, cu localizări în pliuri şi pe faţă, urmat de psoriazisul gutat, semnalat frecvent ca o formă de debut a bolii la copii şi, oarecum
mai rar, psoriazisul artropatic. Rolul unor factori declanşatori ai maladiei este evident în cazuistica studiată. De menţionat, prezenţa pruritului în marea
majoritate a cazurilor.Material and methods. A retrospective research has been done on 103 patients with psoriasis, aged from 1 till 17 years old (male/female ratio – 64/39)

The modern suture material used in the Oro-maxillo-facial surgery
Catedra Chirurgie Oro-Maxilo-Facială şi implantologie orală „Arsenie Guţan”,
USMF „Nicolae Testemiţanu”The management of surgery operations in the Oro- maxillo-facial surgery becomes impossible without a high- quality suture material. The reaction of the biological tissue in the implantation depends on the chemical and physical characteristis of the material. It is necessary to mention that the suture material is a foreign body which remains in the tissue after the operation and the use of the modern synthetical surgery thread is a result of reducing of post-operation’s difficulties.
In the order to study the aims and the problems of the present work I have studied more than 85 histories of the wounded patients of the OMF surgeries’ department , aged from 20 to 80 years, among them: 56 men and 29 women, one of them has been operated, the practice on which has studied the influence of the „Monotime” Péters Surgical (France).
Intervenţiile chirurgicale îndeplinite în Chirurgie OMF nu se pot fi închipuite fără utilizarea unui material de sutură de înaltă calitate. Reacţia ţesuturilor biologice la implantarea materialului de sutură depinde de caracteristicile lui fizice şi chimice. În decursul activităţii practice este necesar de a nu uita faptul că materialul de sutură este un agent străin care după operaţie este lăsat în ţesuturile corpului uman. Astfel,utilizînd materialele sintetice, putem evita apariţia unor complicaţii postoperatorii.
La realizarea scopului şi obiectivelor au fost studiate 85 de fişe de observaţie ale pacienţilor cu plăgile regiunii OMF, secţia Chirurgie OMF CNŞPMU, în vârsta de 20-80 ani, 56 bărbaţi şi 29 femei. La unul dintre pacienţi s-a efectuat o operaţie, scopul căreea a fost studierea acţiunii materialului “Monotime” Péters Surgical (Franţa)
Regulatory framework for dietary supplements in the Republic of Moldova
Introduction. Dietary supplements have gained increased popularity worldwide
due to their potential health benefits and their use is often driven by the desire to
supplement an individual's diet with essential nutrients. However, their regulatory status is often unclear, leading to concerns starting with their definition and
ending with their quality and safety. In the Republic of Moldova (RM), there is a
growing market for dietary supplements (DS), and there is a need for a clear regulatory framework to ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of these products.
Aim. The aim of this study is to examine the regulatory framework regarding DS
in the RM, including their registration, labeling, marketing, and safety requirements. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the regulatory
landscape for DS in Moldova, and to identify any gaps or shortcomings in the current regulatory framework.
Material and methods. A literature review was conducted to identify relevant
legal documents, policies, and guidelines related to DS in the RM. Additionally,
information was collected from National Agency for Public Health, responsible for
regulating DS and from industry sources.
Results. The regulatory framework for DS in the RM is governed by two main
state structures: Ministry of Health of RM and National Agency of Public Health
(NAPH), within the Law no. 306 of 30.11.2018 on food safety and the sanitary
regulation on DS, approved by Government Decision no. 538 of 02.09.2009, which
includes provisions for the registration, notification, labeling, marketing, and safety of DS, that were based on the legislative transpositions of Directive
2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002. According to this directive, DS must be registered or notified with the NAPH and
meet certain quality and safety standards. Additionally, DS labeling must include
specific information about the product's ingredients, dosage, and intended use. DS
are not subject to the same level of pre-market testing and approval as medications. This means that companies can sell DS without first demonstrating that
they are safe and effective. DS can contain fillers or other inactive ingredients, and
the amount of active ingredient can vary from batch to batch, and may also be
contaminated with harmful substances, such as heavy metals, pesticides or even
prescription drugs. Many DS make claims about their health benefits, but these
claims are not always supported by scientific evidence, and companies can make
false claims or exaggerate the effectiveness of their products without consequence.
Conclusions. The regulatory framework for DS in the RM provides some protections for consumers, including requirements for registration, labeling, dosage and
some proof of safety. However, the enforcement of these regulations may be inadequate. There is a need for continued efforts to ensure that consumers have access to safe DS. This may include improving the enforcement of existing regulations, creation of a more standardized and rigorous regulatory framework that
include stricter rules on labeling and advertising, mandatory safety testing, and
clearer guidelines on dosage and ingredients, and increasing public awareness of
the risks and benefits of DS
Clinical and epidemiological features of Herpes Zoster
Catedra Boli Infecţioase, Tropicale şi Parazitologie Medicală, USMF N.Testemiţanu,
Spitalul Clinic de Boli Infecţioase T. CiorbăSummary. Herpes Zoster is an eruptive virosis with sporadic appearance determined by the reactivation of latent infection of VZV. The disease can relapse to those with immune deficits, being an unfavorable evolution indicator and in cases with HIV infection. The effected investigation about one group of patients with various ages with HZ permitted the making evident of some clinical and epidemiological aspects of the disease in young persons and the necessity to investigate them to HIV infection.Резюме.

Smart homes for older people involved in rehabilitation activities - reality or dream, acceptance or rejection?
Introduction Recent statistics show an increase in the prevalence of the elderly population. The year 2012 was declared European
Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations, and the European Commission launched campaigns like The Active
and Assisted Living Joint Program (AAL JP). Rehabilitation in the elderly is a desideratum, but the problems of rehabilitation in the
elderly are numerous. The aim of the study was to evaluate degree of acceptance/implementation of different technologies in
Romania, of monitoring in the rehabilitation activity conducted at home. Material and methods the study comprised 154 persons
with a mean age of 73.37 ± 7.33 years, of which 64 (41.6%) male and 90 (58.4%) female. All subjects completed a questionnaire
regarding the living conditions and health status, about the degree of acceptance of intelligent technologies for monitoring current
health status/reporting acute events. Results 18.2% used the Internet frequently, and the rest used it almost never or rarely. 71.9 %
of patients agreed to wear a portable sensor (p=0.07 between men and women), 33.1% accepted videocam, 47.4% accepted a screen,
41.3% accepted living room monitoring, 68% sensor in the room on the wall and 69.1% accepted fall detection sensor. No significant
differences were found regarding the acceptance vs rejection of personal sensors, living room monitoring, sensors in the room, fall
detection sensors depending on the gender, income level, type of caregiving. Using of videocam and screen was influenced by type
of care giving and income (p=0.002, p<0.001, respectively for screen p=0.032 and p=0.003). In conclusion, Romanian old people
are not keen on using intelligent devices for health status related to acute event monitoring. More programs and measures are needed
for device implementation in real life
