The article presents the results of a study in which we examined the phenomenon of self-assessment as a factor in the emergence of Internet addiction among young people. The research was conducted on the basis of two methods - Marilyn Sorensen’s method to determine the level of self-assesteem, Kimberly Young’s method to identify Internet addiction. The study involved 30 respondents. As a result of the analysis of answers to the questions, we conducted a correlation analysis of the data and confirmed the hypothesis – the lower the self-esteem, the higher the predisposition to Internet addiction.

The article considers the academic motivation of students as a guarantee of high-quality medical education. The results of a study to determine the motivation of studying at a university for 2-years students of the medical and Preventive faculty of the Ural State Medical University are presented.

One of the principles of effective treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases is rational antibiotic therapy. The classical requirements for an antimicrobial drug are the prescription of the drug in strict accordance with the antibiotic sensitivity of the pathogen, safety, ease of use, pharmacoeconomical parameters. Over the past decade, there has been an increase in the resistance of pathogens to the most commonly used antibiotics, primarily to b-lactams, and an increase in the importance of atypical pathogens in the structure of infectious diseases. The frequency of undesirable side effects of antibiotics is also increasing, and b-lactams, primarily penicillins, are also leading here. The above reasons led to the renaissance of macrolides and to the widespread use of these drugs in outpatient practice. One of the most significant macrolides is azithromycin, which is among the most widely used antimicrobial agents in the world.

Objective of the study. To study the possibility of application of BioChaga and BioDihydroquercetin in the complex prophylaxis of complications of diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy in particular.

Material and methods. Analysis of literature data, reflecting the possibility of using drugs BioChaga and BioDihydroquercetin in complex prophylaxis of diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy was carried out.

Results and discussion. The progression of diabetes is associated with vascular lesions in the form of macroangiopathies and microangiopathies. Socially significant vascular complications of diabetes mellitus are retinal microangiopathy (retinopathy) and/or diabetic macular edema, which lead to progressive vision loss. These scientific studies show that dihydroquercetin and chaga have a therapeutic effect by blocking links in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Conclusion. Combined administration of BioChaga and BioDihydroquercetin may be promising in complex prevention of complications of diabetes mellitus and development of diabetic retinopathy.
