ADDRESSING TO CONSULTATIVE DIAGNOSTIC CENTER FOR CHARGEABLE MEDICAL AID

The flow formation of the applications to the state medical institutions for the paid medical care for the children is mostly chaotic. To reveal the sources of application for the paid medical care, the researchers carried on the questionnaire based survey, whose findings are given in the article. The authors defined the main application areas for the obtained information to be used by the government structures, while regulating the processes of application for the paid medical care.Key words: children, paid medical care

M-CHAT-R SCREENING DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE DETECTION OF AUTISTIC DISORDERS

Autism and autism spectrum disorders are one of the most common developmental disorders among young generation of our modern society today. The prevalence of this social disaster and autism-related conditions has been steadily growing. The main characteristic of this disease is a permanent deficit in social communication and social interaction. The research was conducted on children visiting the Reacenter Clinic. 27 children were involved to our study. The screening diagnostics was conducted on children using M-CHAT-R based on 20 questions, developed by Diana Robins, Deborah Fein, and Marianne Barton (2009), which is widely used to identify risk assessment of ASD. A survey of parents revealed a low risk level in 30% of children, medium risk in 45% of children, and high risk in 25% of children. Thus, the prevalence of medium and high risk of ASD was established among the examined 20 children according to the screening questionnaire M-CHAT-R (45 and 40%, respectively). An assessment with a suspicion of autism and autism spectrum disorder in 64% of cases revealed the answer Yes to the questions and in 36% of cases revealed the answer No . The assessment allowed us to establish the risk of developing ASD in 30% of children with a low level of risk, in 45% of children an average level of risk, and in 25% of children a high level of risk

SCREENING DIAGNOSTICS M-CHAT-R FOR IDENTIFYING AUTHISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS

The article contains materials describing the experience of screening diagnostics for M-CHAT-R using 20 questions developed by Diana Robins, Deborah Fein, and Marianne Barton (2009), which is widely used to identify an assessment of the risk of developing ASD. A survey of parents revealed a low risk level in 30% of children, a medium risk level in 45% of children, and a high risk level in 25% of children

Blue sclerae and their association with glaucoma (a review and case report)

T.A. Beletskaya1,2, E.V. Kozina1, D.V. Dmitrenko1, Yu.I. Gavrilova2 1Prof. V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky Krasnoyarsk State Medical University, Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation 2Prof. P.G. Makarov Krasnoyarsk Regional Ophthalmological Clinical Hospital, Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation This paper reviews the key risk factors and clinical manifestations of blue sclerae, which include a large group of diseases of various origins. Generally, this syndrome is genetically determined and is a constant phenotypic sign of osteogenesis imperfecta. In addition to the classic triad of blue sclera, brittle bones, and hearing loss, many authors refer glaucoma to as an ocular manifestation of brittle bone disease in addition to thin cornea and low corneoscleral rigidity. The combination of osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 and primary open-angle glaucoma is a novel phenotypic association. The most effective way of controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) in this condition is surgical intervention. Case report of a combination of glaucoma and syndromic connective tissue disease that appeared 15 years after the first visit to an ophthalmologist for recurrent ocular hypertension is presented. Selective laser trabeculoplasty and a fixed-dose combination of 0.3% bimatoprost and 0.5% timolol provided normal IOP levels. Ultrathin corneas and systemic hypotension do not rule out the need for further surgery. Keywords: blue sclera, glaucoma, osteogenesis imperfecta, corneal thickness.

Micromorphology and spectroscopic ellipsometry of Ni(100) crystal surface

AbstractDispersion of refractive index and extinction coefficient of nickel crystal surface (100) has been determined with spectroscopic ellipsometry over spectral range λ∼250-1030 nm. The crystal surface (100) at a first stage was mechanically polished and then treated by electro-polishing to remove the damage layer
