RESUMEN
Nigeria, with its low routine immunization coverage and wild poliovirus reservoir, significantly contributes to overall regional burden of vaccine-preventable diseases. Since introduction of the EPI in 1974 (which later became the National Program of Immunization), Nigeria's immunization program suffered from declining coverage. The poor quality of immunization affects service utilization, even where they are provided for free, just as immunization services are. The quality assessment will provide both notion of degree of satisfaction of clients with services and framework for revision of program priorities, strategies and components Purpose of the study is to evaluate quality of immunization services provided to children in primary health centers in Oron, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The study targets to identify strengths and weaknesses of immunization services, to evaluate level of compliance with national and international standards of immunization and to develop corresponding recommendations. The study seeks to contribute to body of knowledge about quality of children immunization services in Nigeria, particularly in context of primary health centers. The study may help to improve delivery of immunization services in the region and to ensure that more children will be vaccinated and protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. The cross-sectional descriptive study of quality of immunization services in primary health centers was carried on in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The variables as indicators such as physical environment, resource availability, client satisfaction etc. were utilized and included into questionnaire. The study covered 402 caregivers and 152 medical workers in 12 primary health centers. The client questionnaire, facility staff questionnaire, facility checklist, personal observation,focus group discussion guide and client flow chart were applied. The results demonstrated that quality of immunization services was poor. The caregivers were dissatisfied both with reception by providers and too long waiting time. The attitude of health care providers was also mentioned as cause of dissatisfaction. This study demonstrated that community health extension workers constituted majority (39.4%) of immunization service providers. Out of 152 health care providers that participated in the study, 92 (60.9%) had attended in-service training on immunization within previous two years. The comparison of staff categories with attendance at in-service training established statistically significant difference (p=0.0072), suggesting that whether one attended in-service training or not depended on category of staff one belongs to. Of all staff, 112 workers (73.3%) knew proper vaccine storage temperature while 40 (26.7%) did not. The health care providers who do not know proper vaccine storage temperature may administer vaccines with compromised potency. Most of health care providers (149 or 98.0%) were aware that clients have particular rights that in overall is referred as client rights. Only by knowing rights of clients providers would be expected to respect these rights. The client right with which most of providers were agreed was right to information (105 or 70.2%). While right with which most providers were disagree (52 or 34.0%)) was right to choice of where and when access immunization services. The study conducted thorough quality assessment of children imunization services in primary health centers in Oron, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The results revealed both strengths and weaknesses in delivery of immunization services to children in the region. While there were areas of average performance due to experienced and trained health care workers, there were also areas of concern with inadequate cold chain storage and insufficient record-keeping practices. The study recommends to improve quality of immunization services in the region, including strengthening cold chain system, ensuring adequate record-keeping practices and implementing regular training and supervision of medical workers. These measures are crucial to ensure that more children are vaccinated and protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. The results of the study contribute to body of knowledge on quality of children immunization services in Nigeria and emphasize importance to continue efforts improving delivery of immunization services to children. There is hope that proposed recommendations will become a basis for policy decisions making and ultimately will result in better health outcomes for children in Oron, Akwa Ibom State and beyond.

The world health care system´s concern of inequalities in treatment of receiving the necessary medical care. The purpose of article to evaluate the availability of endovascular care (EVC) for patients at regional level in Russia and to develop a system for its improvement. As a result the low availability of EVC for the population at the regional level in Russia with coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis of the brachiocephalic arteries and critical lower limb ischemia (CLLI) was funded. The main reasons for the difficulties in obtaining EVC in the regions of Russia are the low frequency of diagnosing a critical stage of cardiovascular disease (CVD) requiring surgical treatment, the absence of cardiovascular surgeons and cardiologists in the medical care organizations, the failure in information to patients attending a regular doctor´s appointment about effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment technology. More old-school traditional methods remain in place like bypass or endarterectomy surgery. Further obstacles are prolonged waiting list at the regional level for the provision of high-tech care in cardiovascular surgery, choice of conservative treatment methods or amputation of lower limbs for patients with CLLI 3 and 4 st. (p<0.05). In Conclusion the Clinical and organizational assessment of the endovascular care accessibility in CVD for the population in regions of Russia elaborated. One way to improve the situation is the introduction of the cardiovascular care clinical management. A dual-circuit clinical and organizational system was developed and proposed to increase endovascular care accessibility in regions.

The chronic periodontitis in children is frequently complicated by development of periapical abscess under inadequate conservative therapy. However, prognostic models of estimation of probability of its development are lacking. The purpose of study is to develop regression models of prognostication of periapical abscess under chronic periodontitis in children according indices of peripheral blood and systemic cellular immunity. The chronic periodontitis complicated with periapical abscess is analyzed in 120 children aged from 8 to 15 years. The prognostication of periapical abscess was implemented by stepwise regression technique using parameters of blood and systemic cellular immunity. The mathematical models are developed for prognostication of periapical abscess in children with chronic periodontitis on the basis of indices of peripheral blood and systemic cellular immunity permitting to prognosticate development of the given complication with needed quality. The prognostication periapical abscess requires using the given models, absolute number of lymphocytes, percentage of stab bond neutrophils, ESR, absolute number of T-lymphocytes in blood, T-helpers, T-suppressors and relative content of T-suppressors.

The results of prevalence and prognostic significance of occupational, housing and family risk factors for myocardial infarction are presented. The significance of the analyzed risk factors for predicting development of myocardial infarction is established. The myocardial infarction (MI) have to do with global social and medical evidential problems. The MI morbidity results in significant economic and social damage. The loss of the gross domestic product as a result of MI mortality in able-bodied age prevails in the structure of economic damage in the Russian Federation and makes up to more than 49 billion rubles per year. In MI patients such risk factors as tense psychological relationships at work, duration of workday more than 8 hours are highly spread. This is especially true for tensed psychological relationships at work, which are 5.6 times more likely to be detected in patients with MI as compared with other groups of patients. The study demonstrated considerable prevalence and significant role of particular professional, housing and family risk factors in the MI development. It is proved that physical overloads, unsatisfactory housing conditions and lack of one's own housing are of highest prevalence and prognostic significance. The study data permits to prognosticate possibility of MI development and to implement preventive and curative measures prior to onset of disease resulting in decreasing of MI morbidity, various complications and mortality.

The objective of the present work was to develop the forensic medical criteria for the evaluation of the unfavourable outcomes of the roentgeno-endovascular operations (REVO) on the arteries of the lower extremities. The study included the analysis of the conclusions based on the results of the commission forensic medical examinations, attorney inquiry reports, query response, medical histories of the hospitalized patients who had undergone the roentgeno-endovascular operations on the arteries of the lower extremities. The criteria for the forensic medical evaluation of the unfavourable outcomes of the roentgeno-vascular operations on the arteries of the lower extremities have been proposed together with the indications for REVO, methods and tools for the performance of these surgical procedures. Particular attention was given to the identification of the signs and prognostics of the unfavourable outcomes of the roentgeno-endovascular operations (both intraoperatively and during the early postoperative period and the subsequent stay in the hospital) and to the risks of the development of the unfavourable outcomes of the surgical interventions following the technically adequate REVO. Special emphasis is placed on the cause-and-effect relationship between the actions or a failure to act on the part of an emergency physician and/or an attending surgeon/cardiovascular surgeon and the possibility of the unfavourable outcomes of the roentgeno-endovascular operations.
