RESUMEN
The prevalence of cognitive impairment is steadily increasing compared to previous years. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people living with dementia will increase reaching 82 million in 2030 and 152 million in 2050. The most common cause is Alzheimer's disease (AD). The pathophysiological process in AD begins several years before the onset of clinical symptoms; so identifying it at an early stage would likely improve the clinical prognosis. The article presents EEG changes in patients with AD, and discusses the possibility of using EEG as a screening method for examining patients with cognitive impairment.

In this study we investigated the effect of risk factors of metabolic syndrome on the content of light hydrocarbons (C2-C3) in exhaled air. We used a gas chromatograph with a short multi-channel column. As a result, sex differences in concentrations of light hydrocarbons presented in exhaled air were found. In addition, such factors as smoking and diabetes mellitus type 2 in relatives reflect on the exhaled C2-C3 compounds only in women. But the overweight correlates with the exhaled acetone (C3) only in men. Thus, the fact that the metabolic changes caused by the presence of risk factors of metabolic syndrome lead to changes in gas composition of exhaled air and can be registered and used for early diagnosis has been ascertained.

The objective of the present paper was to evaluate the effectiveness of Suppeksol rectal suppositories applied either as a self-contained therapeutic means or in combination with natural spa-and-resort factors for the rehabilitative treatment of patients with chronic infectious prostatitis. It is shown that Suppeksol suppositories containing a dense extract from licorice roots have beneficial effect on all systems and organs affected by pathological processes associated with chronic prostatitis especially when applied in combination with natural spa-and-resort factors.
