HYGIENIC ASSESSMENT OF THE INFLUENCE OF PESTICIDES ON THE FATTY COMPOSITION OF SUNFLOWER SEED LIPIDS.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Evaluation of the influence of plant protection chemicals on the fatty acid composition of sunflower seeds. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Study of the effects of pesticides, study of the effects of pesticides on the fatty acid composition (lipid) of sunflower seed by gas-liquid chromatography was studied. RESULTS: Results: It was found that the content of oleic and linoleic unsaturated fatty acids did not differ significantly from the control. The content of linolenic and arachidonic acids was at the level of the control group. A similar pattern was observed in relation to the content of saturated fatty acids, in particular myristic, pentodecanoic, palmitic, margaric, stearic. The total content of fatty acids (unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty) selected under different seed protection schemes did not differ significantly from control. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It is proved that the application of the investigated pesticides in various schemes of chemical protection of sunflower crops does not affect the nutritional and biological value of the seeds.

ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION OF THE LUNGS IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT IN OBSTETRIC PRACTICE.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Diagnosis of bronchopulmonary pathology in the intensive care unit in patients with obstetric and gynaecological diseases and to implement aspects of the BLUE protocol in an intensive care unit for pregnant women with lung diseases. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study involved pregnant women admitted to the intensive care unit at the city centre for reproductive medicine. To study the bronchopulmonary system, an Aloka 3500 ultrasound scanner was used, a chest X-ray was performed, spirometry study of the function of external respiration. RESULTS: Results: Identified radiological changes in the lungs that were confirmed by ultrasound. Data on changes in external respiration indices showed the presence of respiratory failure by restrictive type and was not accompanied by a change in the gas composition of the blood (SpO2 and EtCO2). CONCLUSION: Conclusions: technique for ultrasound examination of the bronchi-pulmonary system in pregnant women was developed and introduced in the intensive care unit. Ultrasound profiles of lung diseases were identified, which allow determining the intra and extrapulmonary changes in pregnant women in the early stages of pathology.
