EPILEPSY IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE AND CHRONIC CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA
Background. Epilepsy is one of the most common diseases of the nervous system. Cerebral ischemia is an important risk factor for the development of seizures.
The purpose of the study: to study the clinical, MRI, functional and hemodynamic characteristics in patients with cerebral ischemia with seizures.
Materials and methods: to achieve this goal a total of 772 patients suffering from acute and chronic disorders of cerebral circulation (265 stroke patients and 174 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia experienced epileptic seizures, 203 stroke patients and 130 patients with c... More

PROPHYLAXIS OF CEREBRAL AND CARDIAC COMPLICATIONS AT OPEN SURGICAL REPAIR OF INFRARENAL ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURISM
Introduction. A problem of tactic determination of abdominal aortic aneurysm surgical treatment at combined pathology of carotid and coronary arteries remains actual and polyhedral, but it has no final solution yet.
Aim of research. To study effectiveness of therapeutical and stage-by-stage surgical correction of combined pathology of coronary and carotid arteries during open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Methods: Calculation of selection rate carried out for regression analyses using PASS 200 programm, version 12.0.4. Retrospective and prospective nonrandomized c... More

GUIDELINES ON SUICIDE PREVENTION MEASURES FOR SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN BASED ON RECENT SUICIDE TRENDS: THE NEED TO UTILIZE THIS APPROACH TO DEVISE FUTURE SUICIDE PREVENTION MEASURES FOR THE REST OF ASIA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD
Introduction: Devising and implementing effective suicide prevention measures is an urgent matter for countries around the world. South Korea and Japan have some of the world’s highest suicide rates, so the current study examined more effective suicide prevention measures for those countries with a focus on recent suicide rates by age group.
Materials and Methods: This study examined the suicide rate for each sex by age group in South Korea and Japan in 2009 and 2012, and this study then calculated the ratio of South Korea's suicide rate to Japan's suicide rate. Based on the suic... More

INDICATORS OF RATIONAL DRUG USE
Pharmacotherapy is the main treatment of the majority of diseases. It influences clinical outcomes, survival and quality of life of patients. Pharmacotherapy should be effective, safe, efficient, and evidence-based. State expenditures for pharmacotherapy are the fastest growing article of healthcare budgets reaching 40% in some countries. Due to the lack of financial resources and qualified medical assistance, many developing countries apply unreasonable medical interventions including irrational drug therapy, which leads to excessive costs and may have a negative effect onpatie...

ANALYSIS OF QUANTITATIVE DATA IN TWO INDEPENDENT SAMPLES USING STATISTICA AND SPSS SOFTWARE: PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC TESTS
This is the second paper of the series of articles where we present basic principles of statistical data analysis using Statistica and SPSS software for beginners. Step-be-step algorithms for Student’s unpaired t-test and Mann-Whitney test for independent samples are presented. The main aim of this paper is to provide basic knowledge on ho to compare continuous variables in two independent samples with practical examples using commonly used software. The article complements, but does not substitute specialized literature on biostatistics and clinical epidemiology.
