The high prevalence of diabetes, the high cost of treatment and its complications, determine the need to seek new approaches and methods for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes and its complications. The spread of diabetes is a pandemic. Every year, the number of people with diabetes increases by 6 million, and it is projected that in 2025 they will reach over 300 million people. Bulgaria ranks sixth in the incidence of diabetes with an impressive 7% of the population. According to a report by the European Commission and the EU'’s Economic Policy Committee, the disease with the highest economic severity is obesity, followed by diabetes. Undoubtedly, this priority is due to a number of complications directly related to the so-called. metabolic syndrome and development of peripheral neurodegenerative disorders and cardiovascular complications, with effects on the heart, retina, kidneys and lower limbs. These complications most often lead to permanent incapacity for work, severe disability, social incapacity and inadequacy, deterioration of the overall quality of life of patients and their families. In this context, the role of training in blood sugar self-control, lifestyle and lifestyle nutrition of patients with type 2 diabetes is considered as a fulcrum that ensures independence. Primary health care is developing rapidly, as is occupational therapy, although it is not very popular in Bulgaria. Efforts are being made to train more occupational therapists in the country, as there are currently too few. There is little evidence of its effectiveness in primary care, but it certainly has a place. It is carried out in the form of lectures, talks, training with patients/clients and their families, in terms of disease prevention, prevention of complications and others. The occupational therapist focuses on the strengths and traits of the individual, gives him the opportunity to choose according to personal preferences, participates in changing the environment, promotes integration, provides assistance in the social sphere. Occupational therapy can contribute to returning to the profession, improving capacity, providing opportunities to develop individual potential and provide additional income. It provides opportunities to overcome inequalities, a dignified and independent life and for people suffering from diabetes. And all this happens with active participation of the individual or group.

Acute, recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis are increasingly recognized in childhood. Etiology is different compared with adults, with leading role of obstructive anomalies and medications in acute pancreatitis and genetic association and obstructive anomalies in recurrent and chronic pancreatitis. The genes most commonly associated with pediatric pancreatitis are: cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1), serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 1 (SPINK1), chymotrypsin C (CTRC), carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) and Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR). Children with these conditions suffer from recurrent or chronic abdominal pain and have diminished quality of life. Treatment options include mainly supportive care with aggressive early fluid administration, pain control and early nutrition. Under future investigation are gene therapy and total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation. This case report presents the case of 6-year-old boy with recurrent acute pancreatitis and gene association with two mutations in CFTR and SPINK1 genes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Тhe purpose of the present study in analysis of the results of a study of motor activity and activities of daily living in adults with diabetes at the Diabetes Center - Stara Zagora, in elderly people with type 2 diabetes. The subject of the study is 120 diabetic patients at the Diabetes Center - Stara Zagora with type 2 diabetes.The exercises are for one year with consecutive group work twice a week by the students during the clinical practice. Methodology of the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed, a specialized test for daily activities .(DA Test, with a six-step assessment from 0 to 5) and a Quality of Life Test. The correlation between influencing the physical and mental health of patients is positively significant (R = 0.61, p <0.05). This is an evidence of the incomparable influence of motor activity on the quality of life of diabetic patients. These results motivate the participation of students in the practical training, which is a factor that ensures the improvement of the quality in the real working environment, guarantees the consolidation of the acquired professional competences and the successful professional realization of the students.

The purpose of this scientific research is to analyze the fatty acid composition of "diabetic" bread intended for specific health needs. Also used are rye yeast, dry yeast, cooking salt, dry gluten 2% and drinking water. With respect to SFA, the highest amount in sample 1 (17.17 g/100 g fat) is highest, and the lowest for sample 2 (11.32 g/100 g fat). There are no short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids (from C 4:0 to C 14:0). It was found that in the bread with the addition of sunflower meal the content of monounsaturated fatty acids is highest (33.91 g/100g fat), respectively lowest in the control group (26.90 g/100 g fat). With respect to the oleic content (C18:1) acid content is highest in sample 2 (32.72 g/100 g fat), respectively the lowest in the control is 1.33 times (24.54 g/100g at). With respect to the content of the highest content of linoleic acid (C18:2) is sample 1 (54.81 g/100 g of fat), respectively the lowest in the control (54.09 g/100 g fat) - significant differences. With respect to the content of the highest content of linoleic acid (C18: 2) is sample 1 (54.81 g/100 g of fat), respectively the lowest in the control (54.09 g/100 g fat) - significant differences. The content of linolenic (C18:3) acid in the highest content is in the control (4.49 g/100 g fat) and in sample 2 is lowest (0.31 g/100 g fat). With regard to PUFA, the highest control quantity (58.69 g/100 g fat) was highest, and the lowest for sample 2 (54.76 g/100 g fat). With regard to ω-3, the highest in the control (4.53 g/100 g fat) and the lowest in sample 2 (0.33 g/100 g fat). With respect to ω-6 the highest in sample 1 (54.82 g/100g fat) and the lowest at the control (54.15 g/100 g fat). With regard to ω-6/ω-3, the highest amount in sample 2 (166.48 g/100 g fat) was highest, and 14 times lower in the control (11.94 g/100 g fat). Of rye flour with the addition of flax, hemp, sesame, pumpkin and sunflower flour, you can get delicious bread "diabetic" with very good baking qualities. This bread is free of GMOs, preservatives and dyes. This bread can be consumed for prophylactic purposes and is intended for people suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obstruction.

The goal of this study was to analyze the morbidity, frequency of complications, and diabetes control in Bulgaria during 2012-2016. It is a retrospective, observational, representative study for the diabetics’ population in Bulgaria, with data from the national diabetes registry. Patients are systematized by the type of diabetes, gender, age, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels. Subgroup analysis is carried out for patents with data on the glycosylated hemoglobin changes. Descriptive statistic was used. The total number of patients with type 1 diabetes is decreasing from 28 108 to 25 426, and diabetes type 2 is increasing from 397 154 to 452 490 people. Regional differences in the morbidity are significant. Approximately one third of the patents are having values of glycosylated hemoglobin levels during the year and their number is increasing during 2012-2016. Average age of type 2 diabetics is around 65 years of age, but standard deviation is varying between 8 and 11 years, pointing out that there are patients at younger ages. Complications double the number of diabetics. Around 1/3 of patients have good control on diabetes. The control of type 2 diabetes is better, than type 1 due to the younger ages of some of patients. In conclusion, diabetes is a significant burden on the society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the present scientific work is to develop high-protein flour to develop a new technology for "diabetic" high-protein bread intended for specific health needs and to achieve optimal parameters for obtaining it. Rye, pumpkin, sunflower flour, rye kernel, dry yeast, salt, dry gluten and water were used. The physico-chemical and mineral composition in the bread was analyzed. Pre-conditioning was done as dry rye kernel and dry gluten were poured into 30 ml of water at 38 °C and allowed to dissolve for 10 minutes. The fermentation is carried out in a thermostat for 20 minutes at 36 °C, mixing and fermentation for 30 minutes. The final fermentation is 50 minutes. The baking is 50 minutes at 200 °C. Rye starter based on spontaneous lactic acid fermentation is used to give process stability. A new technological regime has been developed with lower fermentation losses compared to the two-phase method used so far. A single-phase mixing method is used. The shelf life is extended from 72 hours to 96 hours. High-protein bread type "diabetic" with very good baking properties can be obtained from rye flour with the addition of pumpkin and sunflower meal. This bread is GMO-free, preservative-free and without colouring. High protein bread can be consumed for prophylactic purposes and is intended for people suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obstruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
