Treatment of peptic ul­cer of gastroenteroanastomosis complicated by ongoing bleeding. Practical ob­servation

Abstract

The article describes a clinical case of surgical treatment of postgastrore­section syndrome, represented by a peptic ulcer of gastroenteroanastomosis, ulcerative bleeding and a shortened (insufficient length) adductor loop. Com­plications wereseen to have resulted from insufficient volume of gastric resec­tion, while a small length of the adductor loop created certain difficulties for reconstructive surgery. We performed an adequate resection of the organ stump and found a solution to the problem associated with the insufficient size of the adductor loop by reconstructing the inter-intestinal anastomoses. The applied technique made it possible to avoid post-surgery complications. The control examination for a period of more than a year showed the absence of a relapse of the disease, the restoration of normal nutrition and normal in­dicators of the physical methods of patient examination.

Analysis of contextual mental health factors in ado­lescent girls and women of fertile age

Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyze the level and frequency of the psycho­pathology prevalence (stress-related disorders) in adolescent girls and women of fertile age and to identify the relationship with contextual factors that ad­versely affect health.

The research found that the most important contextual factors affecting psychological health and the prevalence of psychopathologies in adolescent girls and women of fertile age are family environment, the lack of supportive intrafamily relationships that provide emotional support and activate the mental potential of a woman, adverse life events, and in adolescent girls it is also a long-term stress which is linked to academic activities. These factors pose a significant threat to mental health, can cause difficulties in adaptation, can become a trigger mechanism for psychopathologies, and also affect the dis­orders, exacerbating the female problems.
