Happy Student's Day, our indomitable doctors of KSU!

Today feels like a special occasion to smile, even to those who woke up a minute before the break. Our students know how to stay on their coffee at three in the morning, pretend that the notes explain everything, and rejoice so sincerely, as if it were a miracle, when the teacher cancels classes. We live in a rhythm where laughter sometimes saves more than sleep and where every day resembles a small victory over chaos.
Today is our day and I want to wish everyone easy mornings, good people around, more fun and less stress.
May student life be bright and warm despite any tasks and modules.
Happy Student's Day, our indomitable doctors of KSU!

Vital knowledge: seizures and first aid!

Today we deepened our knowledge on an extremely important topic! We attended a meaningful lecture by Vereshchakina Viktoriya Viktorivna, associate professor of the Department of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy, Kherson State University, on the topic: “Seizures. Types of seizures, diseases and pathological conditions that can cause seizures in patients. First aid”.
This lesson became key to understanding the neurophysiological foundations of emergency conditions.
What did we learn?
• Bioelectrical activity of the brain: We got acquainted with how the brain functions normally, and what disorders lead to convulsive states.
• Diagnostics: We considered research methods, in particular Electroencephalography (EEG), which allows us to detect pathological activity of neurons.
• Types and causes of seizures: the teacher explained in detail the physiological and pathological nature of seizures, and also considered the conditions that cause them (epilepsy, hypoxia, intoxication, brain damage).
Emergency care is a life-saving skill
Special and most important attention was paid to first aid during a seizure.
After the theory, we practiced the practical skills of transferring the patient to a stable lateral position after an attack. This is a key element in preventing aspiration and restoring breathing.
Thank you to Viktoriya Viktorovna for such a meaningful and necessary lecture for clinical practice! This is knowledge that everyone should have!

Such meetings motivate, form a professional worldview and inspire us to become better specialists - with heart, knowledge and respect for every story.

High-Intensity Gait Training

On November 4, students of the medical faculty attended an extremely important lecture given by Maksym Fedynyak at the CENTER OF PHYSICAL AND REHABILITATION MEDICINE of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Hospital.
Topic: High-Intensity Gait Training.
Our students share their impressions:
" ... it was an extremely valuable experience — to hear from a practicing specialist with extensive clinical experience and see a completely different approach to gait rehabilitation."
The lecture was very rich and covered key aspects of the methodology:
* Contraindications (absolute and relative).
* A new formula for determining the upper limit of the heart rate during exercise specifically for HIGT.
* Scales and testing tools.
* Principles of safety during high-intensity training.
* Features of a doctor's consultation on cardiorespiratory exercise and the American approach.
This was an event that truly broadened our professional outlook. It is extremely important not only to know classical methods, but also to see alternative, modern and evidence-based approaches. And today's lecture is exactly about that!
Thanks to Maksym Fedyniak and the FRM Center for the organization!

"Bridges, not walls: how to build trust in interactions with others"

Yesterday, the Center for Psychological Resilience and Well-being of KhSU held a training session “Bridges, not walls: how to build trust in interaction with others” for students of the Medical Faculty of KhSU.
It was a meeting about one of the most valuable things — about trust.
We talked about what helps build it and what destroys it. About how to start with the main thing — with trust in yourself. Because it is this that creates inner integrity and becomes the basis for openness with others.
Together, we looked for words for ourselves and our needs, learned to communicate honestly and gently, and also practiced being in contact. Not just talking, but really hearing and seeing each other.
The atmosphere turned out to be very sincere — with lively conversations, open views, and the feeling that even a short meeting can become a bridge between people.
Thank you to the students of the Medical Faculty for your trust and involvement.
May every conversation in your life also be a bridge — not a wall.

An impressive day at Yaremche City Hospital!

Today, medical students made a very informative trip to Yaremche City Hospital! From the very morning, having divided into three groups due to the large number of students, we began our immersion in the world of practical medicine.
Our experience:
• Purulent dressing: We observed the procedure for washing the wound of a patient with panaritium. The doctor delicately performed washing and disinfection, and the nurse applied a clean bandage. The patient felt significant relief and was able to go home! This was an important demonstration of providing immediate care.
• Surgical department: Together with the surgeon, we got acquainted in detail with the work of the department. We saw how sterilization is organized, examined modern respiratory devices and, what is especially interesting, came across a real rarity - an old mercury floor thermometer! You can only find such a thing in textbooks! It was a truly fascinating combination of history and modernity.
• Traumatology Department: Here we saw patients after complex operations: steel structures (external and internal), fractures of limbs with displacements... It was very inspiring to see that all of them are in the reliable hands of professionals who work wonders!
This day gave us not only new knowledge, but also a huge boost of motivation. Thank you to the staff of the Yaremche City Hospital for their hospitality, openness and the opportunity to see medicine from the inside!
P.S. At the end, a pleasant reward awaited us - a majestic waterfall! Under its noise we fixed all our impressions, full of gratitude for such a rich and useful day.
