The dynamics of spreading bacterial diseases and ilnesses caused by helminthosis in Adjara Autonomous Republic 2011.

According to the data of past few years it has been determined that the general incidence and the prevalence of the bacterial and helminthosis diseases have increased. Epidemic Supervision has registered a slight increase of such diseases in data of 2011. Taking into consideration this fact, this research is quite important for the region of Adjara. The aim of our research is to study the dynamics of spreading some bacterial and helminthosis diseases in Adjara Autonomous Republic. In particular, the diseases caused by different bacterias of leptospira family - leptospirosis and illnesses caused by helminthosis - ascariasis, enterobiasis and trichocephalosis. according to the reseaches held it has been determined that there have been several cases of leptospirosis registered in Adjara. Specifically, 10 cases in 2008, 6 in 2009, 30 in 2010 and 31 cases in 2011 out of which 10 of the cases where laboratorily claimed. There were cases of ascariasis, enterobiasis and trichocephalosis. According to data, there are 5 times less cases of trichocephalosis than of ascariasis. As for enterobiasis, it's less than ascariasis (the difference is 205 cases). In therms of the aging, all the cases occur more frequently in the group of children below the age of 14.

Variation of inspired nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide concentrations during mechanical ventilation.

Inhaled Nitric oxide is a selective and potent pulmonary vasodilator with minimal influence on systemic vascular resistance. Due to these properties NO becomes widespread treatment for pulmonary hypertension of different etiologies. However, during inhalation via inspiratory limb of breathing circuit NO reacts with oxygen, producing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which is known to be a toxic agent. Therefore, the exact measurements of NO and NO2 concentrations is very important during NO therapy, as was previously described by several authors. The aim of this study was to measure NO and NO2 concentrations at different sites of inspiratory limb of breathing circuit. Significant changes were found between different sites of circuit: Highest NO and lowest NO2 concentrations were detected at the distal points of circuit. We conclude, that NO delivery system should be connected with inspiratory limb of breathing circuit as distally as possible, to minimize contact of NO air with oxygen and to achieve maximal NO and minimal NO2 concentrations during inspiration.
