📌 Every year, by decision of the World Health Organization, every third Sunday of May, the Day of Remembrance of those who died from AIDS is held. In 2020, this Day falls on May 17. It was first celebrated in 1983 in San Francisco, USA🇺🇸. At that time, only a few thousand cases of this disease were registered in the world. 📌 The main goal is to draw the attention of the population to this problem, prevention of this disease, informing about the risk factors of infection, as well as drawing the attention of the authorities and the entire society to social protection and psychological support for HIV-infected people.

The human body is inhabited by over 1000 species of bacteria, about 50 viruses and over 20 species of protozoa. In fact, all multicellular organisms have complex ecosystems in which the entire external (open) epithelium is colonized by a significant number of microorganisms. The idea that the normal microbiota does not play any role in the normal functioning of our body is more than naive. As we have seen, microorganisms sense their environment and respond to its changes. They synthesize and process bioactive compounds and have metabolic properties much more diverse than those encoded in the human genome. It would be truly amazing if our microbiomes were simply witnesses to human functioning. Many researchers now believe that we should combine hosts and their microbiomes into super organisms. This term means that the human genome and the genomes of all the microbes we carry provide a better understanding of human function. The normal microflora of the human body is divided into 2 groups: 1) permanent (resident),...

🌟 May 12 is International Nurses Day🌟 The idea of ​​celebrating Nurses Day was first voiced in 1953, but this holiday has been celebrated as an international holiday since 1965. In 1974, ICN decided to celebrate International Nurses Day on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, one of the founders of the Sisters of Mercy service. 💐Dear participants in the holiday, please accept our warmest congratulations: Today is a nurse's holiday, For her, this is the best moment. She has so much work, There is no time to close her eyes! Always neat, in a white coat, She will hurry to help each of us, And she will change the sheets for everyone in the ward, And she is always on guard! And on a wonderful, international day, We want to sincerely wish you: Inspiration for you in such a difficult work, And you will have universal grace!

🩸 Giardiasis (giardiasis) is a disease caused by microscopic parasites Guardia. Protozoan invasion, which occurs mainly with damage to the small intestine and is partially accompanied by allergic and neurological symptoms. 🩸 The source of infection for humans is a domestic animal, with which they often come into contact: dogs, rabbits, cats and other animals. However, the 1st place as a source of invasion remains for humans. 🩸 Giardia enter the environment with stool in the form of cysts. Cyst excretion begins on the 9th - 22nd day after infection. 🩸 Infection factors - water, food, soil, hands. Mechanical carriers - insects and flies. Transmission mechanism: fecal-oral. Trophozoites (adult forms) survive in feces and in the external environment for up to 2 hours. 🩸 Acute symptoms include: - diarrhea, - bloating, - fatty stools, - stomach and abdominal cramps, - upset stomach or nausea/vomiting, - dehydration (acute fluid loss), - as well as itchy skin, hives, swelling of the eyes and joints. 🩸 Risk groups for giardiasis: -Children in...

💡 Echinococcus (lat. Echinococcus granulosus) parasitizes in the liver, lungs, brain, kidneys. Causes the disease echinococcosis‼️ The egg of echinococcus is almost round in shape, has a brown radically striped shell, containing an oncosphere with 6 hooks. 🩸Echinococcus parasitizes in the small intestine as an adult helminth. Since their life cycle occurs with a change of hosts, their final habitat is domestic dogs, wolves, foxes and other carnivorous animals. Mature segments of echinococcus are released into the environment with animal feces. Most often they enter the liver through the portal vein system through the intestinal wall in the form of oncospheres. Sometimes oncospheres reach other organs through blood vessels, such as: lungs, brain, kidneys and others. 🩸A person with echinococcosis does not pose a threat to others. A person can become infected with echinococcus when consuming vegetables, fruits, berries, eggs. After the encosphere enters the body, a local inflammatory reaction occurs around it and begins to develop from the oncosphere into the fin...

🪱 Infection with parasites helminths (worms) is one of the main reasons that: - suppresses human defenses; - worsens the course of existing diseases; - affects the nervous system; - increases the number of pathogenic microorganisms in the intestines; - reduces the effect of vaccines; - causes allergic reactions, poor appetite, and an unreasonable increase in temperature. In addition to mechanical damage, they harm with the products of their metabolic decay, which leads to various consequences as a result of intoxication of the body in both children and adults. 🔬 Since helminths are able to provoke various symptoms of the disease and not all can secrete eggs, there are two main methods for detecting parasites: 1. The classic method or the simplest - microscopic examination of fresh feces. In our laboratory "Medi Lab+" the "Parasep" enrichment method is also performed, which is designed to concentrate helminth eggs, cysts, and protozoa. 2. Microscopic method - allows you to detect eggs, cysts and diagnose helminthiasis, which are most common: ascariasis, enterobiasis, trichocephalosis, giardiasis. The classic method is not very convenient...

📍What provokes Autoimmune Hepatitis? 💡 Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory process in the liver of unknown origin, characterized by periportal inflammation, the presence of hypergammaglobulinemia, tissue autoantibodies. 🔬 Diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis. In the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis, the determination of such markers as: antinuclear antibodies (ANA), antibodies to liver and kidney microsomes (anti-LKM), antibodies to smooth muscle (SMA) is of great importance. 🔬 To establish a definite diagnosis, it is necessary: no history of blood transfusions, taking hepatotoxic drugs, alcohol abuse; absence of serum markers of active viral infection and ANA, AMA titers; significant increase in the activity of AST, ALT and less pronounced increase in alkaline phosphatase. 🔬 Histological examination of AIG in liver tissue usually reveals a picture of chronic hepatitis with pronounced activity. Typical bridge-like parenchymal necrosis, a large number of plasma cells in the inflammatory infiltrate in the portal tracts and areas of hepatocyte necrosis. Lymphocytes of the infiltrate often form lymphoid follicles in the portal tracts, and periportal hepatocytes create...

🔬 Liver tests - a biochemical blood test that includes quantitative determination of the level of certain enzymes and the concentration of organic substances. 📍Indicators used to assess the functional and structural state of the liver and hepatobiliary system include: 🩸Activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) enzymes. 🩸Activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzymes. 🩸Activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) enzymes. 🩸Bilirubin level in the blood, including its fractions (direct and indirect bilirubin). 🩸Thymol test (TP).

📌This disease does not spare and does not choose by nationality, skin color or eyes. It threatens a woman just as much as in the last century. Just as, probably, in the next. Because a woman always remains a woman. 🩸Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from ovarian tissue. 5% cases of mortality from cancer are due to ovarian cancer. Mortality from this disease exceeds mortality from uterine cancer and cervical cancer combined. Incidence increases and gets younger over the years. 🔬Studies show that ovarian cancer is more common in developed countries. Among women with impaired ovarian function (use of ovulation stimulation drugs, frequent abortions, infertility), the prevalence of the disease is higher. 🇺🇦In Ukraine, ovarian cancer is in third place among gynecological oncological diseases. ‼️The main weapon against this disease is attention and respect for your body, dear women. Don't forget to undergo gynecological examinations on time and don't neglect the recommendations of laboratory...

💉Blood is tested - ELISA: 🩸ab HAV igM - antibodies to the hepatitis A virus, appear at the end of the incubation period, indicate the presence of an acute phase of hepatitis, or an infection in the recent past; persists in the blood from 3 to 6 months. 🩸 ab HAV ig G - antibodies to the hepatitis A virus, indicate a disease in the past and the formation of stable immunity; can be used to assess the effectiveness of vaccination. 🩸 Blood - RNA HAV - viremia occurs at the end of the incubation period, and persists for up to 2 weeks from the onset of active manifestations of the disease. Isolation of HAV RNA from bile and feces is of little information, because bile acid salts and polysaccharide complexes inhibit the PCR process. 📍We care about your health and care about our reputation.
