The aim - to consider the etiopathogenesis, the main clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria of NF1, and present a clinical case from their practice. The paper analyzes the research findings in recent publications, focused on the studied issue using the methods of continuous sampling, synthesis and generalization, bibliosemantic evaluation and content analysis. In order to attract the attention of family physicians, neurologists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, surgeons and other specialists, we present our own clinical observation of NF1. The patient was examined using the methods of neurological examination, as well as other laboratory and instrumental methods of research. Early diagnosis and medical examination of patients with NF1 is crucial for predicting and improving the quality of life of patients. NF1 is a complex disease where the cooperation of doctors of different specialties is important. A favorable prognosis for patients is associated with the possibility of early diagnosis of malignant transformation and timely treatment.

And yet the concept of "dental diseases prevention in pregnancy" does not fully reflect the essence of the necessary measures to maintain the dental health of women during this period. The aim: The aim of the present paper is to study the scientific literature on the issue of preventing periodontal diseases in pregnancy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The subject under discussion was considered on the basis of 59 sources on this issue, using the method of content analysis, comparative and contrastive, analytical and biblio-semantic methods. RESULTS: Review and conclusions: The analysis of scientific literature justifies the need for an integrated approach to treatment and prophylactic measures during the entire pregnancy period. Furthermore, the review of literature sources allows us to advocate the need to improve the existing approaches and to develop new individual programs for primary and secondary prevention of periodontal diseases in pregnant women, taking into account pathogenesis and the peculiarity of their course. Diagnosis of dental status in pregnant women with assessment of early and long-term clinical observations provides a prognostic model of the course and outcome of dental diseases. Meanwhile, the introduction of the follow-up observation for the maternity leave group enhances the dental health of pregnant women and prevents multiple pathological conditions of the unborn child.

Among the various types of paroxysmal states that are observed in the neurological practice, syncopal conditions rank the first position by frequency. The aim: The aim of the present paper is to study the scientific literature on the issue of the problem of syncopal conditions in the neurological practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The subject under discussion was considered on the basis of 43 sources on this issue, using the method of content analysis, comparative and contrastive methods, analytical and bibliosemantic methods. CONCLUSION: Сonclusions: The article presents the analysis of the literature on the problem of syncopal conditions. It has been shown, that the pathology of the nervous system is not always the root cause of syncopes. They often develop from somatic pathology. The awareness of causes of these syncopal conditions enables the doctor to make correct diagnosis and prescribe pathogenetically substantiated treatment.
