Rheumatoid arthritis in women is characterized by a more severe course of the pathological process, and the lesion of individual joints depends on the gender of patients (in men, changes in the sacroiliac joints, the development of tendovaginitis, intra-articular Goff bodies are more often noted, and in women — the proximal interphalangeal joints of the fingers of the upper and lower extremities, maxillary and knee joints). There is a sexual dimorphism of the integral extraarticular (systemic) manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis, while men have more frequent lung damage and the peripheral nervous system, and exclusively in the female group — Sjogren's syndrome and changes from the central nervous system. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the parameters of bone metabolism in the blood serum change, in addition, in patients with osteoporosis, there are common and gender differences in the concentrations of osteoassociated hormones and chemical elements.

Diversionary colitis is an inflammation of the disconnected segments of the colon that occurs after the application of a stoma. The disease develops due to a violation of energy metabolism and changes in the microflora in the distal loop of the intestine. Clinical manifestations include mucosal and bloody discharge from the rectum, intense abdominal pain, and tenesmus. For the diagnosis of colitis, rectoromanoscopy, colonoscopy with biopsy, and histological analysis are prescribed. If it is impossible to eliminate the colostomy, treatment is carried out conservatively. Drugs of local and systemic action that have anti-inflammatory, metabolic, and antiseptic effects are prescribed.

This article is devoted to the deontological aspects of pediatric dentistry. This science teaches the doctor to treat the patient not as an object of his observations and treatment actions, but as a person with his own spiritual world, his own desires, hopes, concerns, fears, because each person is individual, especially a child. Adults in most cases mobilize their will to actively suppress fear and negative emotions associated with the upcoming dental treatment, and a child cannot consciously assess the danger and be convinced of the need for treatment.

In most cases, inhalation anesthesia is used with halogen-containing drugs, in combination with local or intravenous anesthesia. The use of an inert gas, xenon, as an inhalation anesthetic in dental practice is promising. However, information on its use in children is limited.

This article examined the structure of a helium-neon laser and considered specific methods of its use in pediatric dentistry.

Allergies mainly occur when the immune system reacts incorrectly. Your immune system is designed to protect you from allergens, but the immune system's response often causes malfunctions or malfunctions within your body's complex system.

Remember, allergens are substances that are not in or around the human body. Therefore, we cannot really blame our body for not knowing how to deal with allergens and the allergies they cause. Therefore, when you come into contact with an allergen, your body may have an allergic reaction.

Because allergies can develop and worsen within minutes, medical attention is always recommended for all but the most minor and localized symptoms.

Call your healthcare provider if your reaction symptoms get worse within a few days or if they don't improve with recommended allergy treatments and allergen removal.
