This study delves into the identification of risk factors for hypertension among outpatients at the Mother and Child Hospital in Aceh Province. Hypertension is a prevalent cardiovascular condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, demographic and clinical data were collected from a sample of outpatients. Logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the association between various risk factors and hypertension prevalence. The study revealed key risk factors including age, family history of hypertension, body mass index, and smoking status. Findings highlight the importance of targeted preventive strategies to address modifiable risk factors and mitigate the burden of hypertension in this population.

The study showed that facial nerve neuropathies (FN) have specific clinical course and are manifested predominantly by right-sided lesions of the facial nerve in females. The idiopathic form of NLN reliably prevails among young people, while other forms, in particular vascular LLN, are found mainly in old age. Symptomatic forms of NLN, arising from diseases of the ENT organs, as well as vascular and inflammatory etiologies, have more severe motor disorders and are characterized by poor recovery of impaired functions compared to the idiopathic form of LLN.

The article provides information on methods of assessing the state of the reproductive system in women with uterine scars. The purpose of the study was to compare modern methods of evaluating the condition of the scar after surgical intervention in different uteruses. 50 women selected for the study were diagnosed with secondary infertility after uterine surgery in their anamnesis. The study was conducted in SamSMU clinic during 2023.

Cord blood, a valuable source of hematopoietic stem cells, holds immense potential in treating various life-threatening diseases, including hematological disorders, immune deficiencies, and genetic disorders. The establishment of public cord blood banks plays a pivotal role in ensuring widespread access to these life-saving stem cells. This paper discusses the need of the hour in India for the establishment of public cord blood banks to address the growing demand for stem cell transplantation. We explore the current state of cord blood banking in India, challenges hindering its development, and the benefits of a public cord blood bank system. By analyzing successful international models, we propose strategies to overcome barriers and advocate for a coordinated effort among policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the public to create an effective and sustainable public cord blood banking infrastructure in India.

Comorbid pathology is widespread in patients with myocardial infarction. One of the current directions of modern cardiology is to study the contribution of comorbidity to the prognosis in patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction, as well as the assessment of endothelial dysfunction as one of the key links in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. 106 patients with myocardial infarction were included in the study.

Combined trauma, which refers to the occurrence of multiple injuries in a single individual, presents unique challenges in terms of predicting outcomes and providing intensive care. The complexity and severity of combined trauma often make it difficult to accurately assess the prognosis and determine the most appropriate treatment strategies. This article provides an overview of the prediction of outcomes and intensive care for combined trauma. According to the result of the research, predicting outcomes and providing intensive care for combined trauma patients necessitates a comprehensive and individualized approach. Collaboration between different specialties and ongoing assessment of the patient's condition are essential for optimizing outcomes and ensuring the best possible care for these complex cases.
