Refractive errors are a common visual impairment in school-going children, and their prevalence can vary across different geographical areas. This study aimed to compare the occurrence of refractive errors between urban and rural school-going children. A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving a sample of school children from urban and rural areas. Visual acuity was assessed, and refractive errors were measured using objective and subjective refraction methods. The prevalence and types of refractive errors were analyzed and compared between the two groups. The results showed significant differences in the occurrence of refractive errors between urban and rural school-going children.

Histological and immunohistochemical research methods make it possible to reliably judge the degree of dysplastic changes in the epidermis in AK and its invasive potential. However, in most cases, the sampling of biopsy material causes certain difficulties, as it can leave cosmetic defects. Considering that the most common localization of AK is the skin of the face, it seems relevant to use more widely non-invasive research methods in the diagnosis and determination of the nature of the growth.

The article presents the results of a study of 154 patients with acute pancreatitis of biliary etiology treated in the clinic of And State Medical Institute and Central City Hospital Andijan for the period from 2015 to 2022 gg inclusive . All patients were divided into groups. The main group included 75 patients who were treated on the basis of these two centers for the period from 2019 to 2022 . These patients used the developed algorithm for choosing the tactics of treating acute biliary pancreatitis in conjunction with the proposed clinical and pathogenetic aspects of intensive care for pancreatogenic systemic complications. The comparison group included 79 patients treated from 2015 to 2018 .

Laboratory research methods were carried out for all patients with OP and included: complete blood count, urinalysis, biochemical blood test (total protein, albumin, total bilirubin and its fractions, urea, creatinine, glucose, amylase, lipase, AST, ALT, potassium , sodium , chlorides, total calcium, creatine phosphokinase , lactate dehydrogenase , C-reactive protein). Surgical activity in acute pancreatitis of biliary etiology was 25.6%, while in the alcoholic-alimentary form of the disease, only 7.9% of patients were operated on ( p <0.001), the frequency of repeated interventions was 9.1% versus 1.6% (p< 0.001), respectively, in turn, postoperative mortality reached 25.9% and 20.5%, fatal outcomes of conservative treatment were noted in 2.1% and 0.7% of cases, and the overall mortality rate was 8.2% and 2.2 % .

Ozone treatment is currently one of the topical issues. This article discusses treatment of epiduritis with ozone therapy in traumatological patients, its modern methods.

Ectopic pregnancy is the most common pathology in gynecologic practice, leading to the reduction and loss of reproductive function. Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in cases of its occurrence interrupts and intra-abdominal bleeding does not provide significant difficulties. Of interest is the search for ectopic gestational sac located in rare forms of ectopic pregnancy. Although progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy is not possible to achieve reduction of complications associated with it.

Tonsillar metastasis from sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is an exceedingly rare occurrence. We present a case of a 62-year-old male with a known history of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung who presented with progressive dysphagia and a mass in the left tonsil. The patient underwent biopsy of the tonsillar mass, which revealed metastatic sarcomatoid carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the few reported cases of tonsillar metastasis from sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung. This case highlights the importance of considering distant metastasis in patients with a history of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung who present with atypical symptoms.

Living kidney donation is a selfless act that significantly impacts the lives of both the donor and the recipient. This study aims to explore the perception of living kidney donors regarding their decision to donate and their assessment of the quality of life after kidney donation. A qualitative research approach involving in-depth interviews and thematic analysis was employed. Participants included individuals who had donated a kidney to a family member or a close acquaintance. The study examines the factors influencing the decision to donate, including motivations, concerns, and support received during the decision-making process. Additionally, the study investigates the donors' perception of their quality of life post-donation, focusing on physical, psychological, and social well-being. The findings provide insights into the lived experiences of living kidney donors, contributing to a deeper understanding of their decision-making process and the impact of kidney donation on their quality of life.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production, causing chronic anemia, organ damage, and increased susceptibility to infections. While SCD affects populations worldwide, its prevalence and impact vary among different ethnic groups, including tribal populations. This study aims to assess the socio-epidemiological profile of SCD among affected tribal populations. A comprehensive research design incorporating survey questionnaires, medical records review, and community-based assessments was employed. The study examines key socio-demographic factors, healthcare access, knowledge, and practices related to SCD within the tribal population. Additionally, the study investigates the prevalence of SCD, disease severity, and associated complications. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the socio-epidemiological context of SCD among tribal populations, informing targeted interventions and healthcare strategies to improve the quality of life for affected individuals.

This article discusses the features of cognitive dysfunction in patients with ischemic stroke depending on Covid-19 status. Using the modified TOAST classification, a sample of patients with only ischemic stroke (IS) against the background of previous COVID-19 was made. We were guided by the fact that there are a significant number of multidirectional publications in the literature regarding views on the pathogenesis and clinic of neurological complications in COVID-19, and in order to concretize the study, we analyzed only cases with ischemic stroke in our work.
