Abstract:
We analysed data from 33741 patients with ICD-10-AM-defined sepsis from an Australian hospital morbidity dataset to investigate the relationships between specific types of organisms, potential risk factors for infection, organ dysfunction, ICU utilization and hospital mortality. A total of 24% of patients received some of their care in an intensive care unit, and the overall hospital mortality rate was 18%. Gram-positive bacteria were isolated in 27% of cases and Gram-negative bacteria in 20%. Sepsis due to Staphylococcus aureus was associated with vascular and joint devices whereas Pseudomonasaeruginosa and Gram-negative rods were more common with genitourinary devices and lymphoproliferative disease. Sepsis-associated organ dysfunction most commonly involved the respiratory system, followed by the renal and circulatory systems. These patterns may provide useful clues to the pathogenesis and therapy of this often fatal syndrome which is a major ongoing problem for hospitalized patients.

Abstract:
Introduction. Th e high level of professional and production-related pathology among workers of the coal industry, as well as the frequent development of their combined pathology with an unfavorable prognosis determine the relevance of studying the prevalence of somatic pathology in miners with occupational diseases of the respiratory system.The aim of the study was to explore the prevalence of internal organs pathology in coal industry workers with occupational lung diseases (anthracosilicosis, chronic dust bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).Materials and methods. 788 store miners and shaft sinkers with previously diagnosed occupational respiratory diseases (anthracosilicosis, chronic dust bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and 161 miners, working for a long time in harmful labour conditions and having no occupational pathology (the control group) were examined.Results. It was revealed that the workers of the coal industry with occupational diseases of the respiratory system pathology of internal organs occurs more often than the workers of the control group, including: diseases of the cardiovascular system (hypertension, angina pectoris I and II functional classes), diseases of the digestive system (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic pancreatitis), kidney disease (chronic pyelonephritis), as well as a combination of several somatic diseases.Conclusions. In miners with occupational diseases of the respiratory system more oft en than in the control group, there is a pathology of the internal organs: diseases of the cardiovascular system, digestive organs, kidneys, as well as a combination of several somatic diseases. Th e data obtained should be considered during periodic medical examinations and medical examinations for the development of timely therapeutic and preventive and rehabilitation measures.

Abstract:
Introduction. The atmospheric air is known to be the most contaminated on territories where industries are highly developed; non-ferrous metallurgy is one of them that make the greatest contribution into atmospheric air contamination. Data and methods. Our research objects were air samples taken on territories where there was located an enterprise producing metallurgic aluminum and our reference samples were taken on a territory where there was no such production; we also examined databases containing data on morbidity of children population, non-carcinogenic risk assessment, number of exposed population, and the results of epidemiologic examination. Results. Quality of the atmospheric air was unsatisfactory as there were concentrations of suspended substances, PM10 solid particles, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, as well as persistence occurrence of manganese, nickel, and copper compounds resulted from activities of enterprises that produced metallurgic aluminum. All the above-mentioned admixtures cause an unacceptable risk of non-carcinogenic effects emerging in the respiratory organs. A significant contribution into hazard index is made by suspended substances, PM10 and PM2.5 particles. Fine-dispersed fraction having a complicated chemical structure (ferric oxides; aluminum, silicon, nickel, chromium, titanium, and manganese oxides), can aggravate negative impacts on the respiratory organs, exerted by the identified risk factors. The prevalence of respiratory organs diseases among children population living on an exposed territory confirms environmental risks to make increased levels of the overall and primary morbidity rate. We proved a probability of respiratory organs diseases to be depended on concentrations of the examined substances in the atmosphere, including suspended substances and fine-dispersed fractions of PM10 and PM2.5, nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, compounds of nickel, manganese, and copper. Discussion. The detected cause-and-effect relations between a risk of increased morbidity with respiratory organs diseases in children and exposure to chemical risk factors, primarily suspended particles, PM10 and PM2.5, are also confirmed by results obtained in a number of research that concentrates on peculiarities of effects produced by the examined chemical factors on respiratory organs diseases in children. Conclusions. Children living on a territory exposed to the exposure exerted by an enterprise that produces metallurgic aluminum have a chronic aerogenic risk for respiratory organs diseases; this risk becomes apparent due to the elevated morbidity rate of respiratory organs diseases. This risk is proved to be related to impacts exerted by suspended substances and fine-dispersed fractions of PM10 and PM2.5, nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, manganese, nickel, and copper.

Abstract:
It is possible to conduct an analysis of the incidence of viral diseases in calves if these diseases are divided into two basic groups. One group comprises diseases of respiratory organs which are manifested by symptoms of a respiratory syndrome, and the second group comprises diseases of digestive tract organs in the form of a gastrointestinal syndrome. It is considered that viruses have the dominant role in the complex etiology of the respiratory syndrome, primarily the IBR virus or the Bovine Herpes Virus-1 (BHV-1), followed by the parainfluenza 3 virus (RSV), the Bovine Viral Diahrrea Virus (BVDV), the bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), but also other viruses, such as adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, can also influence the appearance of the respiratory syndrome. The respiratory syndrome is rarely caused by a single viral agent, but most frequently by mixed viruses, but also by bacterial infections. Mixed viral infections often have a lethal outcome. Investigations of the etiology of the gastrointestinal syndrome so far indicate that, in addition to bacteria, viruses can also be a significant etiological factor. Rotaviruses, coronaviruses, adenoviruses parvoviruses, herpesviruses (the IBR virus), pestiviruses (BVDV), can be the causes of a gastrointestinal syndrome. It is believed that viruses can be the cause in about 10% cases in the ethiopathogenesis of this syndrome. The paper describes the etiopathogenesis of calf diseases of viral etiology which are most often found in the local conditions of industrial breeding of calves.

Abstract:
Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is one of the etiological agents of respiratory diseases. The agent spreads widely in all the countries with intensive livestock farming and can cause pathologic changes in respiratory system either alone or in combination with other viruses and bacteria. It is a matter of crucial importance to study spread of the agent on large milk farms, to detect it in the internal organs of infected animals, and to quantify virus accumulation in them. The purpose of the research was to study peculiarities of RS infection spread, frequency of the virus detection in biomaterial samples (both alone and in associations with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and bovine viral diarrhea/mucosal disease viruses (BVDV) and with Pasteurellaceae bacteria) on large milk farms affected by respiratory animal diseases; and to determine virus concentration in the respiratory organs. BRSV alone was reported in 9.2% of the tested biomaterial samples, as associated with IBR and BVDV it was reported in 1.4% and 5.2% of samples, correspondingly. The number of samples containing simultaneously BRSV and Pasteurellaceae bacteria was 10.8%. The virus was reported in a maximum of 26.6% of the tested samples. With the help of real-time PCR the virus genome was detected in lungs (13.1%), in exudate from trachea, bronchi and nasal sinuses (6.0%), in nasal discharge (4.0%) and in bronchi (1.7%). The virus was seldom detected in trachea and bronchial mucosa (1.1%) and in pulmonary lymph nodes (0.8%). Quantification of BRSV RNA demonstrated that maximum virus accumulation was observed in lungs and nasal charges and it confirms data on its tropism to pulmonary interstitium.

Abstract:
Abstract Background The 2019–2020 influenza season was characterized by early onset with B/Victoria followed by A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses. Emergence of new B/Victoria viruses raised concerns about possible vaccine mismatch. We estimated vaccine effectiveness (VE) against influenza-associated hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits among children in the United States. Methods We assessed VE among children aged 6 months–17 years with acute respiratory illness and ≤10 days of symptoms enrolled at 7 pediatric medical centers in the New Vaccine Surveillance Network. Combined midturbinate/throat swabs were tested for influenza virus using molecular assays. Vaccination history was collected from parental report, state immunization information systems, and/or provider records. We estimated VE from a test-negative design using logistic regression to compare odds of vaccination among children testing positive vs negative for influenza. Results Among 2029 inpatients, 335 (17%) were influenza positive: 37% with influenza B/Victoria alone and 44% with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 alone. VE was 62% (95% confidence interval [CI], 52%–71%) for influenza-related hospitalizations, 54% (95% CI, 33%–69%) for B/Victoria viruses, and 64% (95% CI, 49%–75%) for A(H1N1)pdm09. Among 2102 ED patients, 671 (32%) were influenza positive: 47% with influenza B/Victoria alone and 42% with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 alone. VE was 56% (95% CI, 46%–65%) for an influenza-related ED visit, 55% (95% CI, 40%–66%) for B/Victoria viruses, and 53% (95% CI, 37%–65%) for A(H1N1)pdm09. Conclusions Influenza vaccination provided significant protection against laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations and ED visits associated with the 2 predominantly circulating influenza viruses among children, including against the emerging B/Victoria virus subclade.

Abstract:
A safe, potent and broad-spectrum antiviral is urgently needed to combat emerging viral respiratory diseases such as avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Previous studies carried out by PhD students in our lab found that mouse β-defenisn 4 (mBD4) shows highly antiviral activity in vitro. However, the recombinant mBD4 (rmBD4) expressed by E.coli is limited to very small scale of production and is very expensive. Thus, in this study, we firstly screened 16 short peptides derived from mBD4 and other mouse and human β-defensins for identifying their antiviral effects. One short peptide P9 (30 amino acids), derived from mBD4, exhibited potent and broad-spectrum antiviral effects against multiple respiratory viruses, including influenza A viruses H1N1, H3N2, H5N1, H7N7 and H7N9, SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV)and MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV). This P9 showed very high selectivity index (970), which was higher than that of the full-length peptide of synthetic mBD4 (smBD4) and rmBD4 in vitro. Secondly, the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of P9 against the infection of H1N1 virus were further detected in animal model. The survival rate of P9-pretreated mice challenged by lethal dose of H1N1 virus was 100%. The therapeutic effects of P9 protecting mice from lethal challenge of H1N1 virus were also statistically significant. The survival rate of mice could reach up to 67% by intranasal inoculation and 56% by intraperitoneal injection, respectively. To investigate the antiviral mechanism, we firstly elucidated that P9 could inhibit viral infection but not viral replication or release. Secondly, we detected whether P9 inhibited viral infection by binding to the surface of target cells or viral particles. The results showed that P9 only bound to viral particles but not to the cell surface. It was further identified that P9 bound to viral surface glycoprotein HA but not NA. Thirdly, we demonstrated that P9 did not inhibit virus binding to its receptor and block the virus entry into cells by endocytosis. Instead, P9 inhibited the acidification in late endosomes and thusP9 blocked virus-membrane fusion and subsequent viral disassembly and viral RNA release. Finally, we elucidated that the antiviral activity of P9 was attributed to its high binding affinity to viral HA and the abundance of basic amino acids in its composition. In this study, we have demonstrated that a short peptide P9, which is derived from mBD4, showed potent antiviral activity against multiple respiratory viruses. This peptide can be developed to a new promising prophylactic and therapeutic agent with broad-spectrum antiviral activity and low possibility to cause drug resistance. Moreover, this study has also revealed a novel antiviral mechanism for P9 and paved a path for the development of new antiviral agents with broad-spectrum antiviral activity against emerging respiratory viruses, such as avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9, as well as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.

Abstract:
Recently, there has been extensive research in the area of diagnostic expertise. The model of diagnostic reasoning and clinical expertise has been well documented (Patel et al., in press). This study attempts to extend this research in order to include therapeutic reasoning. Using the expert-novice paradigm, this study attempts to investigate the use of knowledge, specifically, both biomedical and clinical sciences, and the directionality of reasoning during decision making about patient management and therapeutic planning in respiratory medicine.
Subjects at four levels of expertise were given two clinical problems with the diagnosis and asked (a) to provide therapeutic plans, and (b) describe the underlying pathophysiological explanations of the diseases. Think-aloud protocols were audio-taped and analyzed using methods of protocol analysis. The results showed that the use of basic medical sciences increased as a function of expertise in the procedure-oriented decision-making tasks. The novices generated rule-based prototypical textbook descriptions based on the clinical information, and the diagnosis given in the task. In contrast, the experts' therapeutic responses showed a predominance of causal-level inferences, reflecting more backward-directed inferences than novices. Although both the novices and experts generated forward-directed inferences, the novices were unable to provide accurate and adequate explanations for their decisions. Finally, the pathophysiological explanations of the disease were generated from a different knowledge source than that used to develop therapeutic decisions.
The implications of these findings for development of theory of expertise and for education in the medical domain are discussed.

Abstract:
Background: Cotton workers are highly exposed to organic dust. Inhalation of cotton based particulate has been associated with various respiratory symptoms and impaired lung function. This study investigates the respiratory health profile of textile mill workers in Nepal in relation to dust and endotoxin exposure. Methods: This study was conducted in four sectors (garment, carpet, weaving and recycling) of the textile industry in Kathmandu, Nepal. A total of 938 individuals completed a health questionnaire and performed spirometry. A subset of 384 workers performed cross-shift spirometry. Personal exposure to inhalable dust and airborne endotoxin was measured during a full-shift for a 114 workers. Results: Geometric mean concentrations of personal exposure to cotton dust and endotoxin were 0.81 mg/m3 and 2160 EU/m3 respectively. Overall prevalence of persistent cough, persistent phlegm, wheeze, breathlessness and chest tightness were 8.5%, 12.5%, 3.2%, 6.5%and 3.6% respectively. Symptoms were most common among the recyclers and less in the garment sector. Exposure to inhalable dust significantly predicted the symptoms of persistent cough and chest tightness. Significant cross-shift reduction in FEV1, FVC, and FEF25_75 were measured in the textile workers (p<0.001 for all); reductions being greater in the recyclers (-143 ml) and smallest in the garment workers (-38 ml) (p=0.012). Cross-shift reduction in FEV1 was significantly predicated by exposure to inhalable dust. Exposure to endotoxin did not correlate with any of the respiratory symptoms nor to lung function. Conclusion: The measured association between exposure to inhalable dust and reporting of respiratory symptoms and lung function suggests that despite high levels of endotoxin exposures, inhalable dust is the driver for these effects and attention should turn to what might be the toxic component in this dust other than endotoxin.

Abstract:
Background: Respiratory diseases are common worldwide, which are caused by various respiratory viruses. As symptoms caused by these viruses are similar, laboratory diagnosis is essential to distinguish the virus. Conventionally, respiratory viruses are isolated by cell culture with a panel of cell lines. However, handling of several cell lines is labour intensive, and the turnaround time of conventional culture is long. In previous study, the use of human colon adeno-carcinoma (Caco-2) in conventional culture was investigated. The study has proven that Caco-2 is generally susceptible to the eight common respiratory viruses, i.e. Adenovirus, Influenza A and B, Respiratory Syncytial virus, Parainfluenza virus 1, 2,3 and 4. As turnaround time of conventional culture is long; therefore, in this study, rapid shell vial culture using Caco-2 cells were evaluated. Moreover, the application of Caco-2 shell vial culture on recovering human metapneumovirus (hMPV) was also investigated. Materials and methods: This study consisted of four stages. First, recovery of viruses by conventional culture and shell vial culture of Caco-2 were compared. Specimens were added to conventional culture and shell vial simultaneously. For conventional culture, formation of CPE was examined daily and IF staining was performed when CPE was indicated; meanwhile, shell vial culture were incubated for seven days and stained with IF to detect infected cells. In stage two, the effect of incubating shell vial culture in rolling drum was investigated. Shell vials inoculated with the same specimen in duplicate were incubated in rolling drum and without rolling drum simultaneously. IF staining was performed in day 2, and results were obtained. For those which are IF negative in day 2, second shell vial was further incubated to seven days before harvest. In the next stage, a large batch of samples was used to evaluate on the use of Caco-2 shell vial culture in day 2 and day 7. Lastly, Caco-2 shell vial and conventional culture and LLC-MK2 conventional culture were tested for isolation of hMPV. Results: Compared to Caco-2 conventional culture, recovery rate of shell vial culture was elevated slightly. When experimenting on the effect of incubation in rolling drum, results showed that recovery rate was raised in shell vial with rolling drum in day 2, moreover, the percentage of positive cells were increased significantly (p value < 0.05). Furthermore, in the evaluation of Caco-2 shell vial in day 2 and day 7, 75% of samples were isolated in day 2 while 85% were recovered in day 7. Lastly, in the investigation on recovery of hMPV, 53%, 42% and 17% hMPV positive cases were isolated by Caco-2 shell vial, Caco-2 conventional culture and LLC-MK2 conventional culture respectively. Conclusion: First, although recovery rate by shell vial and conventional culture were similar, turnaround time was reduced from a week to a few days by shell vial culture. Therefore, Caco-2 shell vial culture is a more efficient than Caco-2 conventional culture in isolating respiratory viruses. The study also showed that incubation of shell vial in rolling drum able to increase the number of positive cells. Furthermore, in this study, Caco-2 cells were also shown to be more efficient in isolating hMPV when compare to LLC-MK2 cells.

Full text
Abstract:
Measuring the level of exhaled NO (eNO) in the breath is a new method to monitor airway inflammation in asthma and may have a role in the management of asthma. The hypotheses were that eNO will reflect the degree of inflammation in chronic asthma, and will indicate how anti- inflammatory therapy should be altered to improve asthma control. Three studies were performed to test the hypotheses. A cross sectional study was performed to define the normal range of eNO and to compare this range with those who have asthma or atopy. The second study was observational, to compare the level of eNO during and after an exacerbation of asthma. The third study was an interventional study to evaluate eNO in management of paediatric asthma. In this latter study the level of eNO was measured to monitor airway inflammation in asthmatic children with the intention of adjusting antiinflammatory drugs (inhaled glucocorticosteroids) according to the level of eNO. These studies have shown that the mean level of eNO was significantly higher in asthmatic compared with normal subjects, but not significantly different when compared with atopic non-asthmatic subjects. eNO was correlated with the number of positive skin prick tests in atopic subjects whether asthmatic or nonasthmatic. The eNO level was increased during acute exacerbations of asthma and decreased after two weeks with therapy of GCS. In a pilot study eNO appeared to be superior to FEV1 in adjusting the dose of iGCS to control asthmatic children, but this needs to be confirmed with a larger sample size. Another non-invasive method to detect inflammatory markers is the technique of exhaled breath condensate (EBC). Although NO is degraded to NOx, it was found that eNO had no significant correlation with EBC NOx but had a significant correlation with pH. Hypertonic saline challenge, an artificial model of an asthmatic exacerbation was associated with an increase in EBC volume and the release of histamine, implicating mast cell activation. These novel findings suggest that non-invasive markers can be used both for clinical and mechanistic proposes.

Abstract:
Respiratory function tests are used in diagnosis, assessment, and prognosis and in monitoring the effects of treatment of various respiratory conditions. In the diagnosis of specific diseases, respiratory function tests—like functional tests of other organs—inevitably have limitations. Their use as a diagnostic tool is in recognizing patterns of abnormality which characterize particular types of disease; more often they are used to quantify the severity of functional disturbance or to locate the likely anatomical site(s) of disease (airways, alveoli, or chest wall). The commonly applied tests are most conveniently classified as (1) tests of respiratory mechanics, (2) carbon monoxide uptake, (3) arterial blood gases and acid–base balance, and (4) exercise.

Abstract:
Brazil is one of the countries most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of November 2020, Brazil has been experiencing an acute crisis of the disease, with an increase in cases, hospitalizations and deaths, including among the youngest. During the month of April 2021, as intensive care units they were working almost at full capacity throughout the country. Since the beginning of the pandemic, in March 2020, without total, Brazil has reported more than 14 million cases of COVID- 19 and more than 400 thousand deaths. Due to the rapid spread of the virus and due to the fact that the health systems of different countries are not prepared to serve the large number of patients affected by this disease, we have proposed the use of multifrequency electrical impedance tomography (MfEIT) in the management of pulmonary disease in ICU beds. There are several other forms of tomographic imaging that deliver better image resolution, however, MfEIT has some advantages over CT Scan and X-rays, which are: the absence of ionizing radiation, the portability of the equipment, the possibility of access remote control of the patient's clinical data by the medical team, the visualization of dynamic pulmonary and cardiac parameters that are not seen in computed tomography images, nor in ultrasound images. However, an application of the D-Bar algorithms developed by Siltanen and his team, from 2012 to 2020, at the University of Helsinki, Finland, for viewing images in patients with COVID-19 was evaluated. Various scenarios and criteria were proposed in the text and the results obtained promising evidence for imaging internal organs in the radio frequency range. As expected, codes cannot be considered in extremely low frequency situations, as reconstructions are not considered. In the future, we seek to work with deep neural networks to speed up the simulation of images and to compare results.

Abstract:
The goal of this paper was to apply unsupervised machine learning techniques towards the discovery of latent COVID-19 clusters in patients with chronic lower respiratory diseases (CLRD). Patients who underwent testing for SARS-CoV-2 were identified from electronic medical records. The analytical dataset comprised 2,328 CLRD patients of whom 1,029 were tested COVID-19 positive. We used the factor analysis for mixed data method for preprocessing. It performed principle component analysis on numeric values and multiple correspondence analysis on categorical values which helped convert categorical data into numeric. Cluster analysis was an effective means to both distinguish subgroups of CLRD patients with COVID-19 as well as identify patient clusters which were adversely affected by the infection. Age, comorbidity index and race were important factors for cluster separations. Furthermore, diseases of the circulatory system, the nervous system and sense organs, digestive system, genitourinary system, metabolic diseases and immunity disorders were also important criteria in the resulting cluster analyses.

Abstract:
Although the COVID-19 pandemic was initially manifested as a contagious respiratory infection, its other aspects quickly became apparent. Accordingly, the disease could affect various organs such as skin, digestive system, and the central nervous system. Apart from these diverse manifestations, it was rapidly cleared that the virus could potentially play a role in causing a wide range of autoimmune diseases. Moreover, various anthropological aspects of COVID-19 and its effects on human life were considered. In this regard, one of the important issues is its psychological effects, not only on the population of healthy people, but also on people suffering from underlying diseases. Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system are included as one group of these diseases. Since these diseases can cause many psychological problems in patients, it is very important to pay attention to them during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the following section, the psychological aspects of COVID-19 in patients with neuroinflammatory diseases are described.

Abstract:
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was identified at the end of December 2019 in China. Symptoms of COVID-19 can appear after an incubation phase of the virus of 2 to 14 days, the most common being fever, cough, and asthenia. Other specific symptoms may include shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, muscle pain, sore throat, chills, loss of smell or sensation, chest pain, headache, nausea, rash, diarrhea, and vomiting. The severity of these symptoms can be mild or even extreme causing serious damage to several organs, directly and indirectly, namely pulmonary, renal, hepatic, cardiac, digestive, neurological. Some people have only mild symptoms, while others are asymptomatic. Seniors or those at risk for certain chronic diseases, such as massive obesity, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, immune system abnormalities, and liver disease are more susceptible to COVID-19 and can develop more serious and fatal complications.

Abstract:
The active spread of respiratory infections in pig farms raises the issue of differential pathomorphological diagnosis of diseases related to a single syndrome of respiratory pathologies. Pathological autopsy and histopathological examinations of organs from 72 carcasses of pigs during the fattening period were performed. Pathological autopsy of pigs was performed by complete evisceration. Histologically examined 360 lung samples with regional lymph nodes. The presence of bacterial and viral infections was confirmed by bacteriological and PCR studies. The aim of the study is to establish the characteristic differential features at the macro- and micro-level in the lungs of domestic pigs for viral and bacterial pathogens. The main tasks of the work are to determine the morphofunctional features and dynamics of pathomorphological changes in the parenchyma and immune formations of the lungs in respiratory pathology. As a result of complex pathomorphological studies of the lungs in respiratory infections of pigs found that structural and functional changes in the body have different localization, stage and nature of the pathological process, which depend on the direct action of the etiological factor. Acute catarrhal bronchopneumonia is registered in respiratory mycoplasmosis (enzootic pneumonia), which in a prolonged course turns into chronic catarrhal or catarrhal-purulent pneumonia. Hemorrhagic necrotizing pneumonia is a manifestation of actinobacillary pleuropneumonia. Interstitial (diffuse proliferative) pneumonia develops with viral pathogens - circovirus infection and reproductive and respiratory syndrome of pigs (PRRS). Serous fibrinous and fibrinous pleurisy develop in hemophilic polyserositis and actinobacillary pleuropneumonia. Pathomorphological changes of the lungs in the reproductive and respiratory syndrome of pigs are polymorphic and are manifested by the gradual progressive development of the inflammatory process from congestive hyperemia, acute catarrh to diffuse interstitial pneumonia. Pathomorphological changes of the lungs in mycoplasmosis (enzootic pleuropneumonia) of pigs are polymorphic and are manifested by the gradual progressive development of the inflammatory process, which is localized in the cranial, middle and peripheral parts of the diaphragmatic particles and is characterized by acute catarrhal bronchopneumonia. In actinobacillary pleuropneumonia pathohistological studies revealed a pronounced stage of morphological changes in the lungs and regional lymph nodes in actinobacillary pleuropneumonia. Depending on the form of the disease, serous-hemorrhagic exudation is exacerbated by fibrinogen exudation and increased migration of lymphocytes and mononuclear cells. In subacute and chronic forms of the disease, necrotic phenomena prevail in combination with areas of serous-fibrinous inflammation. In the future, further studies of immunohistochemical analysis to establish the tropism of the pathogen and the study of markers of lymphoid cells.

Abstract:
As a result of considerable breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence, deep learning has achieved exceptional success in resolving issues.This work brings forth a historical overview of deep learning and neural networks and further discusses its applications in the domain of medical engineerings - such as detection of brain tumours, sleep apnea, arrhythmia detection, etc. One of the most important and mysterious organs of our body is the brain. Like any other organ, our brain may suffer from various life-threatening diseases like brain tumours which can be malignant or benign. Analysis of the brain MRI images by applying convolution neural networks or artificial neural networks can automate this process by classifying these images into various types of tumours. A faster and more effective method can be provided by this method for detecting the disease at a key stage from where recovery is possible. Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder involving irregular breathing. The brain detects a sudden decrease in the level of oxygen and sends a signal to wake the person up while he is sleeping. Cardiac arrhythmia refers to a group of conditions that causes the heart to beat irregularly, too slowly, or too quickly, e.g., atrial fibrillation. Deep learning along with bio-medical signal and audio processing techniques on respiratory sound datasets and ECG datasets have huge potential in the detection of these diseases. Deep learning outperforms the existing detection algorithms and a good amount of effort on feature engineering, augmentation techniques, and building effective filters can get a high accuracy result.

Abstract:
COVID-19 is caused by a single-stranded RNA encapsulated betacoronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2, implicated in the pandemic that started in China in 2019. Viral replication consists of five stages that culminate in the release of the new virion. The exaggerated inflammatory response of COVID-19 is characterized by an elevation of acute phase reactants such as C-reactive protein and ferritin. It is associated with an unfavorable clinical course, intensified&nbsp;by abnormal activation of the protein complex called the inflammasome. When the immune response does not control the virus, lung tissue damage occurs that leads to the massive release of proinflammatory cytokines, producing acute respiratory failure syndrome. Vascular permeability is increased; interaction with coagulation factors develops disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiorgan failure. Up to 33% of cases can be asymptomatic. Clinical manifestations can be mild or severe and involve various organs and systems. Among the most commonly affected are: respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, and hematological and coagulation systems. Among the most representative laboratory data are: elevation of inflammatory markers (CRP, inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor), high levels of D-Dimer, elevation of troponin I, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, alteration of liver enzymes and kidney function. There are risk factors and comorbidities that contribute to the severity of the clinical picture (mainly cardiovascular and metabolic diseases): diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, obesity, chronic lung diseases, cancer, and chronic kidney failure. There are also other genetic factors associated with the host’s immunopathogenesis and response to SARS COV-2 infection. There are various imaging methods that allow adequate identification and involvement of the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems with great sensitivity and specificity (computed tomography and echocardiography). The pandemic imposed decisions with very little information regarding what may be useful as a therapeutic strategy. This uncertainty applies to the treatment indicated in the prevention phase, as well as to the different stages of severity of the disease. In many cases, treatments were applied without having gone through a trial phase but only with the theoretical support of its probable benefit. However, over time, controlled studies showed that they did not provide any benefit and that they could even have a deleterious effect. Other therapies still in use have shown contradictory results in the different clinical trials where they were tested. Very few therapeutic options have shown undisputable benefit so far. The only ones that can modify the presentation or course of the disease are vaccines, which have also been developed in record time and in controlled trials, and all those that have been approved showed a decrease in the risk of infection and in the risk of presenting a severe manifestation of the disease.<br>

Abstract:
The paper examines the features and patterns of morbidity of children in the RSFSR in the 1970s-1980s. Using mainly archival sources, as well as statistical, demographic and historical methods, the study showed that the indicators of the health status of children were generally good in the 1970s and 1980s in the RSFSR. However, in the structure of morbidity of children, along with traditional diseases of the respiratory and digestive organs, infectious and parasitic diseases, new diseases of the circulatory system, cancer (including malignant) neoplasms, as well as accidents, poisoning and injuries, were noted. The appearance of new diseases in the RSFSR, previously unusual for children, confirmed the development of epidemiological transition. Since this phenomenon has not been sufficiently investigated in Russian and foreign historiography, the paper presents new scientific data.

Abstract:
Diabetes is a disease with high prevalence worldwide, however, about 44% of patients are asymptomatic, which leads to a later diagnosis of the disease and, consequently, increases the risk of developing complications. The development of new approaches for early diagnosis is imperative to allow proper adoption of preventive measures. From a motivational point of view, it is easier for patients to adopt healthy eating habits and lifestyles when there is an altered marker that indicates subclinical disease, particularly in a pathology that remains asymptomatic until advanced stages. Thus, timely diagnosis based on a measurable and monitorable indicator is extremely important so that such behaviors are implemented as early as possible, increasing effective health gains and reducing the costs related to this pathology. Pre-clinical studies in animal models have shown that the etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is related to alterations in the carotid bodies (CB), chemosensory organs located in the bifurcation of the carotid arteries. In animals with T2DM it has been observed that the CBs are overactivated causing an increased heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood glucose levels. In humans, this mechanism has been confirmed but is not yet well-characterized. This paper highlights the importance of developing a device that allows early detection of changes in CB activity correlating it with emerging diabetes. The design strategies to prototype the CBmeter were to model and characterize the features of interest for the diagnosis- respiratory rate, heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation and glucose - in healthy people and people with diabetes using a combination of set commercial sensors pre-existent in the market that were integrated to collect real-time data. After determining health and disease patterns, the CBmeter development pipeline includes a co-design approach in which physiologists, endocrinologists, nurses, computer and electrical engineers, designers and patients are collaborating to develop an easy-to-use, portable, and minimally invasive medical device that associates CB function with endocrine dysregulation, with very small discomfort and risk for users. The definition and specification of the most appropriate architecture for the CBmeter, in order to allow its modularity, signal acquisition and consequently the communication between the sensor/device and the receiver/backend in the most efficient way is being allied to the selection of materials, tools and steps to create an innovative product, that will fill a technical gap in the market, designed for the early diagnosis of metabolic diseases, in a subclinical phase, with the potential to contribute with significant gains for public health in the medium/long term.

Introduction: The study of morbidity with temporary disability (MTD) in industrial regions is an urgent task, since the loss of working time due to workers diseases adversely affects the volume of production and output, and accordingly, the welfare of entire subject population. The goal: To analyze the morbidity with temporary disability indicators in two industrial regions of Russia. Methods: The analysis of men and women MTD cases frequency in two industrial regions (Kemerovo and Chelyabinsk regions) and in all Russia for 2014-2018 to form 16-TD and to Rosstat data on the number of people employed in Russian economy. Also, in the studied territories, the 5-year averaged indicators for the leading classes of diseases, depending on gender, were calculated. Results: The performed analysis of quality management system for 2014-2018 period testified the worst health indicators among workers in Kemerovo and Chelyabinsk regions compared to Russia. In certain years, the frequency of cases of MTD in men in industrial regions was almost 30% higher than in the country. Higher MTD levels in the regions were also recorded from certain classes of diseases (diseases of circulatory system, musculoskeletal system and respiratory organs). Conclusion: The information about health indicators in the regions can be used in the development of medical and preventive programs of workers health preservation.
