CORRELATES OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS CHARACTERISTICS IN MILITARY PERSONNEL.

Atopic dermatitis, despite its relatively wide distribution and low severity, was statistically often a disqualification condition for military service. The aim of our study is to determine correlations between characteristics of atopic dermatitis in military personnel. 144 people with atopic dermatitis were under our observation, 78 of them military personnel, 26 military family members and 40 civilians, 62 men and 82 women. We studied the following characteristics: gender, age, marital status, education, social status, place of service location, genetic anamnesis, recurrence during the year, laboratory indicators of attached infections, focus of localization, other skin diseases, comorbidities, compliance with hygienic conditions, wearing a military uniform, the frequency of changing bed linen. 3-5 times recurrence a year shows a reliable positive correlation with: wearing a uniform for 12-24 hours, SSA/eosinophilia, mycosis, pathology of the respiratory system, military personnel. Staphylococcus aureus is associated with other infections - St. hominis, fungus, also shows a reliable positive correlation: localization on the face and torso, wearing the uniform for 1 week and more. Staphylococcus hominis shows a reliable positive correlation: localization - torso, wearing uniform for 1 week or more,y. Shows a reliable positive correlation with fungus: localization scalp, neck, lower limb, military serviceman; reliable positive correlation with SSA/eosinophilia: increased IgE, localization on the upper limbs, mycosis, change of bed linen - once every 2 weeks; IgE - localization of dermatosis on the upper limbs and torso area, pathology of the digestive system, changing bed linen once every 2 weeks, military serviceman. It shows a reliable positive correlation with helminthiasis: Localization on the genitals, mycosis, pathology of the digestive system, change of bed linen once a month. Development and recurrence of atopic dermatitis in military personnel correlates with living conditions and infections. Determining the differences between civilian and military patient populations will allow clinicians to better investigate the risk factors that predispose to the manifestation of dermatitis in the military.

[Analysis of spreading the sexually transmitted disorders in Georgia].

According statistical data in Georgia sexually transmitted disorders represent one of the most important medical and social problems. Main causes of this are hard social and economic condition of the country, changing sexual-behavioral stereotypes, drugs and alcohol abuse, political perturbation, as well as unprecedented decrease in financing prevention programs of STD by government. The purpose of given research is statistical analysis of spread of sexually transmitted disorders in Georgia, in particular, among the people included in risk group; finding trends and in accordance with this, working out recommendations for improvement of situation in given field of medicine. Essays showed that through 2000-2012 years among STD revealed in the group of increased risk chlamidiosis was the most common. There is an objective trend of increasing the level of morbidity with chlamidiosis and trichomoniasis, however the speed of increasing morbidity with trichomoniasis probably does not correspond the reality. In the same time morbidity with gonorrhea and syphilis is decreasing, however in the result of significant decrease in STD prevention program scale data validity concerning syphilis might be doubtful. Coming out of this in the field of health care related to STD optimization of laboratory diagnostics management is essential; perfection of methods of epidemiologic control; increasing the scales of prevention programs as well as initiation of researches related to antimicrobial resistance of gonococci. Authors consider essential taking steps for optimization of management of laboratory diagnostics and perfection of methods of epidemiologic control and increasing scales of preventive programs.

Influence of epididymitis on reproductive function.

In our study 54 patients were diagnosed epididymitis caused by STI and in 6 (11.1%) cases inflammatory process spread on seminal vesicles which negatively affected the state of male reproductive function. After having unilateral epididymitis pathospermia developed in 76% of cases and infertility - in 55.6%. In patients who had unilateral acute epididymitis, infertility caused by urethritis of chlamidial aetiology developed in 70.4% of cases, infertility caused by urethritis of mycoplasmatic (ureaplasma) genesis - in 62.9% of cases and infertility caused by gonorrheal urethritis - in 29.6% of cases. At this moment following alterations of ejaculate are revealed: volume reduction, decrease in spermatozoid number, reduction of ability to move, increase in teratomatous forms, spermagglutination, etc. The best way for prevention of pathospermia and infertility is using modern and adequate treatment methods directed to maximally effective suppression of acute inflammatory process in epididymis and then restoration of its functions.
