The number of victims with serious injuries in Ukraine is increasing daily, and these are tens of thousands of military personnel and civilians. Most of the injured require long-term treatment and rehabilitation. The first plac among traumatic injuries is occupied by injuries to the limbs and pelvic bones. At the same time, with the increase in the number of victims, the need for medical rehabilitation increases, the clinical facilities and capacities of which in
Ukraine do not meet modern requirements. The available amount of medical literature, scientific articles in professional publications, manuals and educational videos on Internet resources dedicated to the issues of physical therapy and rehabilitation of these patients is also insuficient. Given the challenges of today, martial law in Ukraine, and the large flow of injured people, the training of physical therapists should be supplemented with new approaches, forms, and methods of the educational process, among which a consistent examination of the patient according to the principles of the vital superficial anatomy of the human body, including the lower limb and pelvis, should take an important place. Vital surface anatomy is underrepresented in medical literature, medical textbooks, and books. Some authors use elements of surface anatomy in their works when examining patients, but anatomical terms are used quite arbitrarily, not adhering to international anatomical terminology. A search was conducted on the YouTube platform for available educational videos in Ukrainian for physical therapists and doctors, explaining the technique of manual examination of surface anatomy of the head, neck, trunk, and extremities. This search resulted in the following result: there are no such educational videos. The work presents a detailed descriptive manual examination of surface anatomy of the pelvis and lower limb, based on self-examination and peer examination of students in practical classes. It is proposed to supplement modern domestic textbooks and manuals on anatomy, traumatology and physical therapy with sections on vital surface anatomy, in compliance with modern international anatomical terminology. It is recommended to develop and release a series of educational videos with a sequential examination of various areas of the human body, based on the principles of surface anatomy, and to place them on Ukrainian-language
platforms and channels available to students, including YouTube and university repositories. It has been proven that the method of sequential manual examination of surface anatomy of the lower limb is effective, as it allows to form professional practical skills for physical therapists and doctors who will provide assistance to patients with damaged limbs, including injuries from martaal law in Ukraine.
Key words: surface anatomy, bony landmarks, lower limb, physical therapy and rehabilitation.

The diabetes mellitus (DM) epidemic, which progresses every year, is usually combined with the obesity epidemic, which is one of the major public health crises facing both developed and developing countries [1, 2]. Of the two major forms of diabetes, type 2 diabetes significantly exceeds type 1 diabetes (DM1) in prevalence and poses a greater challenge to modern health care systems. DM1 is considered an autoimmune disease,possibly caused by a viral infection, with an acute onset that includes insulins and islet cell infiltration, but persists as a chronic disease [3, 4], whereas type 2 diabetes (DM2) is a chronic disease caused by metabolic dysfuncfunction and insulin resistance. Both conditions are characterized by hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, which are considered major risk factors for the development of common macro- and microvascular complications [5, 6], as well as neurological dysfunction; in additoon, these two conditions can coexist [7, 8].

The effectiveness of methods for diagnosing and treating eyeball angiopathies in diabetes is based on an in-depth and detailed study of the morphological structure of the organ of vision. The results of morphometric research of the choroid of the rat eyeball can serve as a foundation for solving problems in clinical ophthalmology.

Introduction: The widespread introduction of radiation examination methods into cardiology clinics, among which the safest is ultrasound examination of the heart, opens up new prospects for studying the cardiovascular system. When examining patients’ internal organs using ultrasound methods, the doctor sees the reflection of their sections, not the organs themselves. To solve the problems of anatomical-ultrasound comparisons and objectification of data
obtained in the cardiology clinic, it is important to introduce the production of educational anatomical preparations of the heart in an “expanded form” into the curricula of national universities.

Background, Pollybeak deformity is the most common delayed complication o f rhinoplasty. The pre­
vention practicehave not been fully determined. The purpose was to analyze and evaluate the results o f using
different variants ofsurgical approaches and modified methods of preservation rhinoplasty and their importance in
preventing the development o f pollybeak deformity. Materials and methods. The study included 154 patients with
similar aesthetic nasal deformities. They were divided into 3 groups, depending on the techniques and methods of
rhinoplasty applied. In group l (68 patients), the cartilaginous skeleton of the nasal Up was isolated supraperiehon-
drially, then, crossing the Pitanguy’s ligament and the scroll ligament complex, the dorsum o f the nose was isolated supraperichondrially in the cartilaginous part, and subperiosteally in the bone part. In group 2 (27patients), the cartilaginous skeleton of the tip of the nose was isolated subperichondrially and, without crossing the Pitanguy’s ligament, scission o f this ligament was performed vertically. In this type of access, the scroll ligament complex was no damaged. The dorsum of the nose was excised subperichondrially and subperiosteally. In group 3 (59 patients), soft tissue separation was performed under the perichondrium and under the periosteum. A suture was placed between the anterior septal angle and the Pitanguy’s ligament in the supratip region. Results. Pollybeak deformity ingroups /, 2, and 3 occurred in 14(20.6 %), 3(11.1 %), and 2(3.4 %) cases, respectively. 11 (16.2 %), 3(11.1 %), and 2 (3.4 %) patients developed a mild degree., respectively. Moderatand severe cases were detected only in group Jo f the study: in  2 (2.9 %)  and 1(1.5%) patients, respectively. The rhinoplasty method used ingroup 3 allowed to significantly (p < 0.05) reduce the overallfrequency of mild pollybeak deformity compared to group l. Conclusions.
Preventing the development of pollybeak deformity involves the application of modified techniques.

The surgical treatment of acute pancreatitis, particularly the choice of operative technique, is becoming increasingly relevant.

Objective — to develop a surgical approach for treating patients with acute complicated pancreatitis by determining the effectiveness of minimally invasive and traditional operative techniques, both independently and in combination.

Materials and methods. Surgical treatment was performed on 170 patients with acute complicated pancreatitis. In the main group (Group M) — 109 patients were predominantly treated with minimally invasive techniques (MITs), while in the comparative group (Group C) — 61 patients underwent standard operations. The age of hospitalized patients ranged from 22 to 74 years, including 36 women (33%) and 73 men (67%).

Results. MITs were performed as «final» in 62 cases (69%), «staged» in 16 cases (18%), and «stabilizing» in 12 cases (13%). The number of combined interventions was higher in Group M — 26% versus 12% in Group C (p=0.04), while standard operations dominated in Group C — 67% compared to 17% in Group M (p <0.0001). Primary laparotomy was performed in 41 patients (67%) in Group C and 19 patients (17%) in Group M (p <0.0001). The volume of standard operations in Group M mainly consisted of necrosectomy and the Beger procedure, including closed drainage — 26 cases (55%) and 15 cases (31%), respectively. Necrosectomy with subsequent staged debridement for general purulent‑necrotic lesions did not differ statistically between the groups — 11 cases (23%) and 13 cases (26%) (p >0.05).

Conclusions. The developed approach to the surgical treatment of acute complicated pancreatitis with the independent and combined use of MITs and standard operations demonstrated a tendency to reduce the frequency of postoperative complications and postoperative mortality rates — from 13.1% to 8.3% and from 14.8% to 9.2%, respectively.
