HOW DO LIGHT AND TEMPERATURE AFFECT LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS ON SERUM BILIRUBIN?

Abstract

During the immobilization of the jaws, the weight of the injured decreases significantly, it progresses nutritional insufficiency. The trophological status of patients with fractures of the lower jaw was evaluated by means of bioelectrical tissue impedance. Deviations from ideal body weight were found in 47% of cases, body mass deficiency was noted in 24% of patients, propensity to nutritional insufficiency, increase in fat mass was observed in 23%. For such patients, an excess body weight with a higher content of muscle tissue is optimal, which during the immobilization period supports the body and serves as a depot for posttraumatic catabolism, preventing a nutritional deficiency. Patients need to carry out rehabilitation measures aimed at correcting body weight, increasing muscle tissue, which will strengthen their health, prevent the progression of weight loss and the development of complications.
