Experience of the femoral neck fractures' treatment in selenium deficiency region' patients

This article presents an analysis of surgical treatment of the femoral neck fractures in patients in the region with selenium deficiency. Selenium is the most controversial trace element among other minerals. It has a very limited range between essential and toxic dose. The basis of this research is the studying of the results of surgical treatment of 28 patients aged between 40 and 75 years with closed fractures of the femoral neck, who were treated during 2014-2015 in the traumatological department for adults in the hospital of emergency medical services in Chernivtsi. Оsteosynthesis of femoral neck was performed for patients. All 28 (100%) patients had verified selenium deficient condition and this fact indicated a possible secondary osteopenia or osteoporosis

Morphological peculiarities of selenium influence on osteogenesis

The problem of selenium deficiency on thyroid hormones production and their influence upon the development of osteopenia and osteoporosis is discussed in the article. The authors examine peculiarities of reparative osteogenesis in case of post-traumatic defects of the femoral metadiaphysis under conditions of selenium deficiency on experimental animals. The evidence presented are indicative of a negative influence of selenium deficiency upon reparative and physiological osteogenesis which is exhibited by inhibition of these processes and is accompanied by disorders of osseous regeneration formation, deterioration of the structural-functional condition of the osseous tissue, development of degenerative-necrotic changes in the osseous tissue and epiphyseal cartilage. Selenium containing agents were found to have a positive effect on normalization of osteogenesis and osseous regeneration

EXPERIENCE IN PROVIDING MEDICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE FORSERVICEMEN TAKING PART IN THE NATO FIGHTING

Одним з найважливіших компонентів бойової готовності є морально-психологічний стан військовослужбовців, що безпосередньо беруть участь у бойових діях. Континуум змінених психічних станів, що виникають під час війни включає в себе бойові стресові реакції (початкові прояви дезадаптаційних розладів), боротьба з втомою і посттравматичний стресовий розлад (ПТСР) і реактивні стани, як найбільш важкі форми бойової психічної патології. В даній статті представлено досвід забезпечення медичної і психологічної допомоги учасникам бойових дій НАТО
