Цель: проведение анализа психоэмоциональных расстройств у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом, не по-лучающих никакого лечения по поводу этих нарушений. Материал и м...етоды. Для работы отобрана когорта пациентов с достоверным диагнозом рассеянного склероза, согласно критериям Ч. Позера, в составе 163 че-ловек. Использовался четырехмерный симптоматический опросник для оценки дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации (4DSq) и самоопросник для оценки симптомов фибромиалгии с оценкой количественных показателей (WPI, SS, FS). Результаты. Показаны различия средних значений уровня дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом разного пола, возраста, с разным типом течения и длительностью заболевания. Заключение. Нервно-психический статус пациентов зависит от типа течения заболевания, уровень дистресса — от возраста и пола, уровень соматизации — от возраста данной категории больных. В комплексном лечении данной категории больных необходимо использовать помимо патогенетиче-ской терапии симптоматическое лечение, не только оказывающее нейротрофический и вазоактивный эффект, но и влияющее на психоэмоциональный фон пациентов.

Level of stunting among Bangladeshi children <5years declined from 51% in 2004 to 36% and underweight from 41% in 2007 to 33% (BDHS 2014). But the decrease in wasting rate is not as expected, which is only from 17% to 14.3 % over last decade. Approximately 3.1 % (BDHS 2014) of under-5 children suffe...ring from SAM only by weight-for-length or height z-score (WHZ) <-3 criterion and estimated to be a total of ~ 450,000. Because, there are no national information on prevalence of SAM using mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and presence of bipedal oedema in under-5 children, thus the actual number of children suffering from SAM could be much higher than the current estimate.
