The method of ultrasound diagnostics in suspected for-eign intestinal body in small pets is discussed. This method is characterized by its noninvasiveness. The research goal was to reveal diagnostic significance of ultrasound exami-nation of the intestine in the presence of foreign bodies. The research objectives were as following: to study basic ultrasound characteristics of foreign bodies in the intestine of small domestic animals; to study the influence of antie-metic preparation based on maropitrate citrate on the in-formative value of the study. The research was carried out in the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of the State Agricultural University of Northern Trans-Uralsand in the veterinary clinics of the City of Tyumen. Ultrasonic diagnos-tics was carried out in 73 cats and 38 dogs with suspected foreign intestinal bodies. The examination was carried out using linear, convex and microconvex transducers with different frequencies according to standard research meth-ods. Fifteen cats were given an antiemetic drug -maropi-tant citrate at a dose of 1 mg per 1 kg before the ultrasound examination. It has been found that ultrasound is an in-formative method of diagnosing linear foreign bodies; they collect the intestine in a corrugation and go as a linear hy-perechogenic formation. Solid foreign bodies give an echo-genic appearance which suggests their presence in the intestine. Other foreign bodies may be detected by indirect signs. The main indirect signs of obstruction on ultrasound examination include pendulous peristalsis, dilatation above the obstruction site, decreased peristalsis, and overflow of intestinal contents. When studying the peculiarity of ultra-sound examination when using maropitrate citrate, de-creased peristalsis was detected and subsequently poor recognition of pendulum-like movements which negatively affected the diagnostic value of the method.

Abstract Background Colposcopy offers an accurate way to the diagnose of cervical precancerous lesions. However, the diagnostic accuracy of colposcopy is unsatisfied. This study was to evaluate colposcopic accuracy according to the 2011 International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy (IFCPC) terminology. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed in 1,838 patients who underwent colposcopy in Shandong Qianfoshan Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University from October 2013 to April 2018. Using conization or cervical biopsy pathology as the gold standard, the agreement between colposcopic diagnosis and pathologic diagnosis was calculated, and correlations between variables were analyzed. Results As an authoritative and widely used terminology for colposcopy diagnosis, the 2011 IFCPC terminology has certain clinical practicality and diagnostic accuracy. However, some signs such as mosaic, punctation, sharp border, inner border sign and ridge sign had high specificity but unsatisfactory sensitivity, which limited the diagnostic value. Therefore, we discussed the Lugol’s staining, a very common sign in colposcopy, and analyzed the diagnostic significance of bright yellow staining in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and mustard yellow staining in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). The results showed that mustard yellow may be a valuable indicator in the diagnosis of HSIL. Conclusion The 2011 IFCPC colposcope terminology has standardized interpretations of the colposcopic findings and improved the accuracy of colposcopy diagnosis. The aceto-white epithelium still has important diagnostic value; however, the value of a few signs is needed to be discussed and new signs are expected to be discovered. Although the significance of Lugol’s staining was diminishing, mustard yellow might be a valuable indicator for the diagnosis of HSIL.

Comparative assessment of arthroscopic and ultrasound examination data were performed in 393 patients (400 knee joints). For the perfection of diagnosis quality a principle of “feedback” (cooperation) between examiners was used. Basing on the analysis of the achieved results the reasons for sonographic and ultrasound results (objective and subjective) incompatibility were determined and real diagnostic value of ultrasound examination was estimated for every intraarticular knee structure separately.

Ultrasound Real time 2D diagnostics, being an available and non-invasive method, issuccessfully used in human medicine, veterinary medicine and biology to diagnose bothphysiological and pathological conditions. In the case of small animals, the ultrasound is often usedto diagnose gravidity, number, size and vitality of fetuses as well as to diagnose pathologicalconditions present in the genital tract, and is also used to examine testicles and prostate of maleanimals. Today's advanced use of the ultrasound diagnostics provides us with an opportunity todetect numerous pathological conditions of reproductive tract of both female and male animals, andthose conditions directly affect health status of other internal organs. The aim of this study is todiagnose primary genital tract disorders using the ultrasound diagnostics, as well as proving itsconnection to the changes in parenchymal organs. The ultrasound examination was performed onthe total of 12 dogs, 6 male and 6 female dogs. Ovaries, uterus and the organs in the abdominal areawere examined using a transducer ranging from 5 to 8 MHz. A transducer of 7.5 MHz was used toexamine prostates and testicles. The patients were in dorsal position. Three out of six examined maledogs exhibited changes on their prostates, and the remaining one had a tumor on the testicles. Cystitisand hyperplasia of prostate were also found upon the examination of these dogs. One out of sixexamined female dogs, had cystic endometrial hyperplasia, three of them had pyometra, and one ofthem was diagnosed with an follicular cyst. In addition to these pathological conditions, changeswere noticed in the liver and pancreas. Along with the detection of primary changes in the genitaltract of both male and female animals, the ultrasound diagnostics can be used to discover consequentchanges in parenchymal organs.

Aim. Analysis of the results of parents' assessment of the conditions of US diagnostics of children. Materials and Methods. Assessment of the conditions for receiving ultrasound examination, based on the results of a questionnaire survey of 424 parents of children who underwent this medical service at the National Medical Research Center of Children's Health of the Ministry of Health of Russia, is presented. Mathematical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the methods of variation statistics and correlation analysis. Results. 83.5% of parents surveyed were satisfied with the ultrasound diagnostic services provided to their children, 12.3% – were satisfied only partially. According to respondents’ opinions, the main reasons for dissatisfaction were insufficient qualification of specialist and low quality of the equipment used. The majority of individuals participating in the survey, considered waiting for ultrasound not long, in 77.6% of cases it was carried out within 1-2 days after the appointment. Ultrasonography in an outpatient clinic and in a hospital was mainly carried out free of charge, as part of compulsory medical insurance – in 86.1 and 87.5% of cases, respectively. Only 14.3% of respondents noted that they had the financial ability to pay for examination of the child from personal funds. It was found that 12.7% of parents had to refuse, for this or that rea-son, from the proposed ultrasound methods of examination of the child. Conclusion. The vast majority of the parents surveyed were satisfied with the ultrasound diagnostics services provided to their child. The main reasons for refusing from ultrasound were a sharply negative reaction of the child, as well as the opinion about the possible harm of the examination and the expected pain from the procedure.

Appendicitis Score

Acute nonspecific abdominal pain in children is the most common problem requiring differential diagnosis with acute appendicitis. Scales for integrated assessment of individual symptoms and their combinations have been proposed and are constantly being developed that allow predicting the likelihood of acute appendicitis. Purpose to assess diagnostic value of Pediatric Appendicitis Score (PAS) in groups of children in different ages. Materials and methods. 374 children aged 4 to 15 years with acute abdominal pain were evaluated in prospective randomized blinded study. Statistical analysis: ROC – curves, specificity and sensitivity, positive and negative predictive values; Kullback criteria; logistic regression analysis; discriminant analysis. Results. Detection frequency and diagnostic significance of the PAS scale predictors as well as obtained results by using the Pediatric Appendicitis Score depend on children age significantly. In terms of diagnosis of acute appendicitis, the PAS scale shows the best results in older children. Conclusions. Results of Pediatric Appendicitis Score depend on children ages due to different diagnostic value of predictors used in the PAS scale. Pediatric surgeons should keep in your mind these data. Modification of the scale is required taking into account the patient’s age. Further analysis of the issue of PAS using is needed. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of these Institutes. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. The authors declare no conflicts of interests. Key words: acute appendicitis, children, diagnosis, PAS scale.

Goal. Consider the management of patients with effort thrombosis (Paget-Schretter syndrome).The article presents the modern vision of the problem of effort thrombosis. This review is aimed at describing the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of patients with Paget-Schretter syndrome. SPS occurs spontaneously, as a rule, in young, healthy and active patients aged 20-30 years after strenuous physical activity. The ratio of men and women is 2:1, recently there has been a growing trend among women. The main complaints of patients with SPS include swelling of the affected limb, discomfort when moving the affected arm, pain and heaviness when trying to raise the arm up. When examining these patients, attention is paid to hyperemia of the skin or their cyanotic nature, pasty limbs, as well as an enhanced venous pattern on the shoulder, the so-called Arshel sign. The diagnosis is based on the data of anamnesis, physical examination, the “gold standard of diagnostics” – ultrasound examination of veins, the sensitivity and specificity of which is 70-100%. The first step in the diagnosis can be the evaluation of the D-dimer, with its negative values, the SPSH is rejected. With an obvious clinic and controversial results of serial ultrasound examinations, other imaging methods are used, such as computed contrast tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, the diagnostic value of which is especially significant in occlusive venous thrombosis.SPS differs not only from DVT of the lower extremities, but also from secondary DVT of the upper extremities, which determines the peculiarities of management of this category of patients, including surgical treatment aimed at preventing subclavian vein compression in the future. The article summarizes the experience in the management of patients with blood thrombosis.
