The problem and the aim of the study. The transformation of the educational space has identified as priorities for online teaching: improving the quality of the materials provided, supporting cognitive activity and students’ independence, preparing teachers for the active use of web technologies. To implement these requirements, the authors propose the use of cyber quests, which in a game form allow providing additional resources for formation of the foreign language communicative competence. Research methods. To obtain theoretical generalizations, the analysis of scientific works on the problem of gamification of learning, formation of cognitive activity and foreign-language communicative competence was used. The cyber quest was implemented in the Quandary software environment. The study involved 90 first-year students of the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy. The Pearson χ2 (chi-square) criterion was used in the experiment. Results. The essence of the concept «cyber quest», its functions and capabilities are investigated. The stages of developing cyber quests based on virtual worlds for learning a foreign language in the online format are defined. The mechanics of cyber quests in the Quandary program environment are described in detail (implementation options “Assembling the parts of the whole”; “Experience rating”; “Maintenance of an interactive object”; “Successive activation”). The cyber quest is focused on solving future professional problems in the direction of preparing “Agricultural Engineering” and includes two organization strategies: “Control” and “Training”. The main difficulties of software implementation (for example, the ambiguity of using open-type assignments) and methodological support (the need to maintain balance between the game and learning) are highlighted. The dynamics was assessed according to the levels of formation of the cognitive activity and statistically significant differences were revealed on the qualitative changes that occurred in the pedagogical system χ2obs. 2 > χ2crit.0.05 (6,70 > 5,99). In conclusion factors that ensure the effective use of the cyber quest to support the cognitive activity of students when learning a foreign language in the online format are summarized: non-linear motion paths; resolution of problematic situations of the practice-oriented nature; combination of entertaining and cognitive components, etc.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction To examine selected parameters of quality of life in patients with cardiac failure after cardiorehabilitation in outpatient and inpatient form and to compare the effect with each other. Methods and methodology: The survey included 64 respondents without age restrictions with chronic heart failure NYHA I. - III. after undergoing inpatient or outpatient cardiorehabilitation, polymorbid, oncology and psychiatric patients were excluded. The questionnaire with 20 questions focused on 12 quality of life domains. Statistical processing: t-test, ANOVA, Chi-square test, Spearman correlation coefficient (p <0.05). Results 35 men (54.7%) and 29 women (45.3%) were included, with a mean age of 58.07 years, with a mean duration of CHF treatment of 3.99 years, subgroups (internal 25, cardiology 21 and institute 18 probands) did not differ in age. We found that cardiorehabilitation has a positive effect on the quality of life of patients with CHF, if it is associated with social support, appropriate education and meets the conditions of a comprehensive approach. Patients rated their quality of life better compared to their quality of life a year ago. Outpatients are more satisfied with their health than patients in inpatient treatment, patients with a more severe manifestation of CHF have a greater anxiety from physical activity and therefore less motivation to move. All patients expressed dissatisfaction with their sex lives. Patients in outpatient treatment experience more depression. There were no differences between the subgroups in the evaluation of the degree of education by the nurse and the effect of the exercise on the subjective condition. All subgroups perceived the other person"s help more valuable than medical help. Patients from inpatient treatment have been more motivated to change their lifestyle on their own initiative and through the influence of information from healthcare professionals. Conclusion Comprehensive cardiovascular rehabilitation of patients with heart failure improves many of the prognostic indicators of heart failure, reduces mortality and the frequency of rehospitalizations, reduces treatment costs, improves quality of life. nevertheless, rehabilitation programs for chronic heart failure are being promoted only very slowly. The reason may be the absence of standard procedures, as well as organizational, economic and personnel demands.

The integration of Ukrainian system of Higher education into the European one accompanies by a transformation processes. The main goal of Higher school in our country is to prepare competitive specialists. The pedagogues of medical universities implement modern educational technologies with the use of analytically-searching work and scientific information. The implementation of new technologies of teaching is the important task of modernization of pedagogical system of mastering highly skilled specialists. The aim — to ground the implementation of test control for the estimation of quality of knowledge of future doctors. Gaining knowledge in microbiology is very necessary for future doctors to understand the principals of diagnostics and struggling infectious diseases. Knowledge in microbiology is basis for better understanding of clinical disciplines, as it assists logical perception of clinical data, influences on the forming clinical thought without which it is impossible to become a highly skilled specialist. The implementation of modern methods of studies, control, providing the increase of creative activity of students, forming and developing in them professional thought is one of the effective way of the improvement of quality of pedagogical training of highly skilled doctors. The experience of applying of the test control of knowledge in students in the medical university at classes of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology has been presented in the manuscript. The use of different types of test control has been proved to be one of the effective methods for determining the level of knowledge among students. Test control promotes the activation of cognitive activity, forms students’ skills of independent work, develops their logical thinking. Test control of obtained knowledge should be used in conjunction with other methods of studying the subject. The analysis of the results of the writing of the KROK-1 qualification exam by the students of the stomatological department has been conducted. The use of different methods of estimation of control of knowledge is necessary for its improvement. The study of microbiology is the important base of forming fundamental knowledge in students. Therefore, test control in a complex with other pedagogical methods can be used as one of the important and optimal methods to improve estimation of the basic level of students’ knowledge.

Objective: To predict the quality of anticoagulation control in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving warfarin in Thailand. Materials and Methods: The present study retrospectively recruited Thai AF patients receiving warfarin for three months or longer between June 2012 and December 2017 in Central Chest Institute of Thailand. The patients were classified into those with SAMe-TT₂R₂ of 2 or less, and 3 or more. The Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was used to compare the proportion of the patients with poor time in therapeutic range (TTR) between the two groups of SAMe-TT₂R₂ score. The discrimination performance of SAMe-TT₂R₂ score was demonstrated with c-statistics. Results: Ninety AF patients were enrolled. An average age was 69.89±10.04 years. Most patients were persistent AF. An average CHA₂DS₂-VASc, SAMe-TT₂R₂, and HAS-BLED score were 3.68±1.51, 3.26±0.88, and 1.98±0.85, respectively. The present study showed the increased proportion of AF patients with poor TTR with higher SAMe-TT₂R₂ score. The AF patients with SAMe-TT₂R₂ score of 3 or more had a larger proportion of patients with poor TTR than those with SAMe-TT₂R₂ score of 2 or less with statistical significance when TTR was below 70% (p=0.03) and 65% (p=0.04), respectively. The discrimination performance of SAMe-TT₂R₂ score was demonstrated with c-statistics of 0.60, 0.59, and 0.55 when TTR was below 70%, 65% and 60%, respectively. Conclusion: Thai AF patients receiving warfarin had a larger proportion of patients with poor TTR when the SAMe-TT₂R₂ score was higher. The score of 3 or more could predict poor quality of anticoagulation control in those patients.

Наследственный ангиоотек (НАО) с дефицитом С1ингибитора (С1ИНГ) представляет собой редкое заболевание, которое оказывает сильное воздействие на жизнь пациентов как физически, так и эмоционально. Непредсказуемость атак влияет на повседневную жизнь, выбор профессии, социальную активность. Кроме того, страх перед развитием отека, а также связанными с ним болью и риском смерти приводит к депрессивным расстройствам, характерным для хронических, в особенности жизнеугрожающих заболеваний. Появление современных патогенетических препаратов способно минимизировать влияние НАО и улучшить качество жизни больных. В основе терапии НАО лежат долгосрочная профилактика, краткосрочная профилактика и купирование острых атак. В данной статье речь пойдет о долгосрочной профилактике.Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to of C1inhibitor deficiency is a rare disease, which causes a strong physical and psychological impact on patients lives. HAE affects daily life, career opportunities, and social activity. In addition, fear of the edema development, as well as the associated with it pain and risk of death leads to depressive disorders specific for chronic (especially lifethreatening) diseases. The emergence of modern pathogenetic drugs can minimize the effect of HAE and improve the patients quality of life. There are three different therapeutic strategies that are used for HAE treatment: longterm prophylaxis, shortterm and ondemand therapy for acute attacks. This article focuses on longterm prophylaxis.

Abstract We employ Newcomb–Benford law (NBL) to evaluate the reliability of COVID-19 figures in Brazil. Using official data from February 25 to September 15, we apply a first digit test for a national aggregate dataset of total cases and cumulative deaths. We find strong evidence that Brazilian reports do not conform to the NBL theoretical expectations. These results are robust to different goodness of fit (chi-square, mean absolute deviation and distortion factor) and data sources (John Hopkins University and Our World in Data). Despite the growing appreciation for evidence-based-policymaking, which requires valid and reliable data, we show that the Brazilian epidemiological surveillance system fails to provide trustful data under the NBL assumption on the COVID-19 epidemic.
