The production of food products with a sufficient amount of functional ingredients is an urgent task for the modern food industry, since the health of every person and nation is largely determined by the diet. An important role in the formation of the range of functional food products is assigned to the development of new recipes and technologies for meat products. In this work, horse meat was used as raw meat. When developing a horse meat product, different methods of heat treatment of the main raw materials were used: the traditional method - frying and stewing, cooking in a combi oven, sous-vide technology. A comparative analysis of heat treatment of meat has been carried out. Investigations were carried out using digital image processing methods to compare the color change of meat samples during cooking by the above methods. The ability to select a fragment of an image for a more detailed study with the output of statistical information about the number of pixels by secondary or tertiary colors has been implemented. The geometric characteristics of objects are determined - area, perimeter, height, width, as well as color characteristics for the selected color components. Using the method of digital image processing, the processes occurring during heat treatment have been established, which makes it possible to regulate and correct the technology of cooking meat products, analyze the geometric and color characteristics of finished products. A program and method for determining the color characteristics of the meat samples under study have been developed.

Skin lesions, increased transepidermal water loss, changes in pH in patients with allergodermathosis lead to a decrease in the protective mechanisms of the skin that makes individuals more susceptible to infections. The development of complications predefined the interest in improving topical therapy. The article presents a brief review of the literature data on high therapeutic activity and good tolerability of the topical drug Triderm. When compared with the original drug, the generics revealed differences in the structural and mechanical properties, which affects bioavailability. A comparison of therapeutic efficacy and tolerability has shown that Triderm is more effective, and comparable to Akriderm GK in terms of tolerability.

In this study, an ice cream technology using an encapsulated form of vitamin C was developed. When conducting an organoleptic evaluation, the developed ice cream showed higher creaminess, a pleasant sour-milk taste and smell, and the absence of organoleptically perceptible ice crystals compared to soft ice cream of traditional composition. Additionally, in soft ice cream containing an encapsulated food ingredient, higher resistance to melting was noted: the mass fraction of melt after 2 hours was 11% lower than in the control sample. The research results show that in the developed ice cream there is an improvement in structural, mechanical, and organoleptic properties. The mass fraction of vitamin C in the developed ice cream was set at no more than 46.8 mg%. The study justifies the ingredient composition and the appropriateness of using encapsulated vitamin C in soft ice cream, expanding the assortment and range of sweet foods with functional nutrition, and indicating improved consumer characteristics of the finished product through its functional properties.

Sertaconazole properties are discussed in the article. According to literature data application of the derivation of benzotiafene and imidazole solves a problem of resistance towards antimycotics. Sertaconazole has a wide spectrum of activity towards fungi & bacteria and also has antiinflammatory effect. The present examination of therapeutic efficacy included 33 patients who suffered from superficial mycoses complicated by bacterial infection. Levocetirizine was prescribed in case of dermatomikides. Both monotherapy by sertaconazole and combination with levocetirizine were high effective and well tolerable.

To evaluate prevalence of endocrine pathology in patients with circumscribed scleroderma (CS), baseline immunopathological alterations in CS patients.Circulating immune complexes were studied by the Digeon method in a total of 70 CS patients (female 52, 74.3%; male 18, 25.7%; age 16 to 70 years).Circulating immune complexes assay by Digeon detected evident immune imbalance characteristic for metabolic disturbances of the connective tissue and affection of the endocrine system.CS patients need a combined examination including endocrinological and immunological tests.

Based on the literature data and their own findings, the authors give grounds for the use of phosphaden, riboxin, and dipromonium in psoriasis, eczema, and atrophic lichen. Prospects in the application of vitamin synthetic analogues and of coenzymic preparations are shown.

Aurobin ointment has been used for the treatment of scleroderma foci localized on the external genitals. Combined therapy including aurobin has been fairly effective. Clinical improvement has been paralleled by a reduction of the blood serum glycosamino-glycane level.

The course of scleroderma is compared in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. In combined pathology, bullous foci of injury and trophic abnormalities occur more frequently. All the patients were diagnosed to have abnormalities on the part of connective tissue metabolism.

The author analyzes the clinical observations of erythema nodosum in patients with hypertrophic nasopharyngeal tonsils. Basing on the literature data and her own observations, she suggests a relationship between adenoid growth and nodular eruption.
