Item Meningo-encephalitis in a middle-aged woman hospitalized for COVID-19(ALUNA Publishing, 2021) Dyachenko, P.A.; Сміянова, Ольга Іванівна; Smiianova, Olha Ivanivna; Дьяченко, Анатолій Григорович; Diachenko, Anatolii HryhorovychThe aim: To pay attention of clinicians to possible lesions of the central nervous system (encephalitis) in patients with COVID-19. Case presentation: A 44-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic because of 2-month-history of mild fever, bilateral lower lobe pneumonia, respiratory failure, generalized weakness, and some neurologic symptoms. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in nasopharyngeal swab. Chest CT demonstrated bilateral pulmonary poly segmental consolidations in the mid and lower zones. Focal hyper intensive abnormalities in various parts of the left hemisphere were found at MR brain imaging in T2WI, and T2 FLAIR mode. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination showed a white cell count of 31/uL (normal <5/uL), protein 0.73 g/L (0.15-0.45), and glucose 1.4 mmole/L (2.2-3.9). Standard CSF neuroviral PCR panel and PCR for SARS-CoV-2 were negative. She was treated with ganciclovir, and dexamethasone. Due to suspected tuberculosis meningitis (cytosis, decreased level of protein and glucose), she also received ex juvantibus a course of anti-TB therapy (isoniazid, kanamycin, and levofloxacin) and made a steady improvement. Conclusion: This case shows that SARS-CoV-2 in association with other pathogens may cause various lesions of the CNS accompanied by severe neurological manifestations in adults.Item Application of behavioral economics insights to increase effectiveness of public awareness of COVID-19(ALUNA Publishing, 2021) Костенко, Андріана Миколаївна; Kostenko, Andriana Mykolaivna; Ясенок, Вікторія Олександрівна; Yasenok, Viktoriia Oleksandrivna; Світайло, Ніна Дмитрівна; Svitailo, Nina Dmytrivna; Назаров, Микола Сергiйович; Nazarov, Mykola Serhiiovych; Теслик, Наталія Миколаївна; Teslyk, Nataliia Mykolaivna; Сміянова, Ольга Іванівна; Smiianova, Olha Ivanivna; Huschuk, I.V.The aim: To determine the level of public awareness of COVID-19 and information needs, as well as level of public confidence in both official information on COVID-19 and to develop recommendations for communication policy on longer-term awareness in pandemic settings COVID-19, using principles of behavioral economics. Materials and methods: 4 focus group interviews were conducted in residents of Ukraine, with a total quantity of 48 people aged 16-70 years questioned and an anonymous questionnaire was conducted in 1,700 respondents, representing the adult population aged 18 years and older from all over Ukraine. The representative error of the study with probability of 0.95 does not exceed 4%. The processing of questionnaires was carried out by SDU Center of Social Researches (SDUCSR) employees, using the OSA program. Results: 28.5% of respondents believe that politicians and media underestimate the danger of the COVID-19 epidemic, while other 28.1% believe that politicians and media adequately assess its danger. 18.9% of respondents are sure that the danger is exaggerated. As much as 24.5% of Ukrainian respondents could not decide on such assessment. The most common sources of information about disease/treatment are Internet and social media. Traditional media and relatives/acquaints who endured the COVID-19 also gain population`s confidence. A family doctor is the least popular source of information. 42.1% of respondents do not trust official information on the number of infected people and severity of the disease, and another 40% are not sure whether they should trust or not. Only 17.9% of respondents trust official information. Conclusions: Within informing the society about public health in conditions of a COVID-19 pandemic it is better to provide communication strategy for various target audiences: for youth which is inclined to underestimate threats of epidemic and obtains information on social networks; for people of a retirement age (as risk group) who lack information because they use only traditional media (mainly TV); for women who need psychological support to decrease in level of stress in the family more often and also to overcome the negative post-stressful situations (connected with the death of the family/relatives); for men who are inclined to neglect their own health, etc.; for the people who have endured COVID-19 to prevent possible reinfection in them.Item Algorithm of adenoiditis treatment in adults, depending on the pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy stage(ALUNA, 2018) Сміянов, Євген Владиславович; Смиянов, Евгений Владиславович; Smiianov, Yevhen Vladyslavovych; Сміянов, Владислав Анатолійович; Смиянов, Владислав Анатольевич; Smiianov, Vladyslav Anatoliiovych; Sniehirova, I.O.; Сміянова, Ольга Іванівна; Смиянова, Ольга Ивановна; Smiianova, Olha IvanivnaIntroduction: Implementation of the endoscopic technologies while the upper airways diseases gave opportunity to diagnose the adenoid vegetation in adults. The aim: Тo offer effective algorithm of curing adults for adenoiditis, depending on the degree of pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy. Materials and methods: 43 patients aged 18-55 with hypertrophy of pharyngeal tonsil were examined. Depending on the degree of hypertrophy three clinical groups of patients was created: the first one receiving only conservative treatment, the second one receiving conservative therapy and radiowaveradiation coagulation with the apparatus “SURGITRON” and the third one receiving the endoscopic shave adenotomy. Statistical processing of the received data was made in the programs «Exсel» and «STATISTICA 6.0». Data rows were checked for the normality with the help of Shapiro-Wilk statistical criteria (small sample) and Kolmohorov-Smirnov (large sample). Checking of the dispersion uniformity was done by Leneva criteria. During the comparison of the rows criteria of Student and Wilkokson for the non-paired, Kolmogorov-Smirnov were used. Results: During the re-examination of patients who received only conservative therapy treatment in a month endoscopic signs adenoiditis were distinguished and a year later percentage of relapse was higher than in patients with complex treatment. After shave adenotomy adenoiditis recurrence was not observed. Conclusions: While treatment of the patients with the pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy of the 1 and 2 degree conservative therapy is possible. Addition into the scheme of conservative treatment RWCAV actually reduces quantity of adenoiditis recurrence and allows fast recovery. Treatment of patients with the pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy of 3 degree, in context of contraindication absence requires surgical treatment (adenotomy) in 100% of cases.
