For many adults, the risk of atherosclerosis can be reduced by intervention and treatment of known risk factors. Direct proof that similar intervention will be effective in children is not available. However, evidence suggests that prevention beginning in childhood will lead to a decrease in incidence of heart disease later in life. The majority of families are eager to take steps to prevent heart disease in their children, especially if there is a family history of early heart disease. It is the role of the pediatrician to identify those children at risk for early heart disease and to initiate advice on reducing risk factors.

Working memory enables storage of information in our mind for brief periods and makes it available for current thinking and activities. Many studies have documented the role of working memory in academic achievements. The study examines the relationship between working memory and reading skills among children at risk of dyslexia. It also attempts to see if working memory can significantly predict these reading skills. The study comprises 40 children at risk of dyslexia selected through purposive sampling method. Various standardized tools were used to assess working memory and reading skills of the participants. The data were quantitatively analyzed using correlation and regression analysis methods. The findings of the study show that there is statistically significant relationship between working memory and reading skills among children at risk of dyslexia and working memory can predict reading skills such as reading rate, accuracy and fluency. However no significant relationship was found between working memory and comprehension. It confirms various theories that emphasize on the role working memory in reading. Thus it can be inferred that training targeting working memory may improve reading skills.

Обоснование. Нарушение кожного микробиоценоза и колонизация кожи S. aureus при атопическом дерматите (АтД) является широко распространенным феноменом и фактором, осложняющим течение заболевания. В настоящее время не вполне понятно, какую роль играет S. aureus в реализации АтД у детей из группы риска по развитию аллергических заболеваний. Цель. Изучение состава кожного микробиоценоза у детей раннего возраста из группы риска, а также роли S. aureus в дисфункции кожного барьера и реализации АтД. Материалы и методы. Проведен анализ 12-месячного наблюдения за 37 детьми из группы риска по развитию аллергических заболеваний, включающий общеклиническое обследование, проведение микробиологического исследования кожи в возрасте 1 и 6 мес и изучение функции эпидермального барьера путем определения показателя трансэпидермальной потери влаги (ТЭПВ) в возрасте 1 3 6 и 12 мес. В качестве исхода рассматривалось формирование АтД в течение периода наблюдения. Результаты. Частота выявления S. aureus на коже детей в возрасте 1 мес составила 45,9, в возрасте 6 мес - 29,7. Корреляционный анализ выявил ассоциацию между колонизацией кожи S. aureus и снижением показателей ТЭПВ (р0,004), а также частотой развития у них АтД (p0,001). Заключение. Обнаружение S. aureus в кожном микробиоценозе детей из группы риска ассоциировано с дисфункцией эпидермального барьера и является значимым фактором риска реализации у них АтД.Background. Colonization of skin with S. aureus in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients is a widespread phenomenon and a factor complicating the course of the disease. At present, it is not quite clear the role of S. aureus in the development of AD in children at risk. The aim of our study was to discribe the skin microbiome composition in young children at risk, as well as to investigate the role of S. aureus in skin barrier dysfunction and the development of AD. Material and methods. 12months follow-up study of 37 infants at risk has been performed. It included a general clinical examination, a microbiological investigation of skin microbiome (at 1 and 6 months), and investigation of epidermal barrier function by determining the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Realization of AD during the observation period was considered as main outcome. Results. The prevalence of S. aureus colonization of infants aged 1 month was 45.9, at the age of 6 months - 29.7. Correlation analysis revealed an association between the skin colonization with S. aureus and a decrease of TEWL (p 0.004), as well as the cumulative incidence of AD (p 0.001). Conclusion. The detection of S. aureus as a part of skin microbiocenosis in AD infants at risk is associated with dysfunction of the epidermal barrier and is a significant risk factor for the AD development.
