Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report in 2023, arterial hypertension (HTN) remains
one of the leading causes of global morbidity, with an estimated 1.3 billion individuals diagnosed worldwide. Among them, 42% were receiving antihypertensive treatment, and only 21% achieved adequate blood pressure control. In the United States, 47.7% of the adult population is diagnosed with hypertension, with prevalence increasing significantly with age [1,2]. Multiple factors such as lifestyle, body mass index (BMI), age, sex, genetics, and physical inactivity are well-documented contributors to hypertension, as evidenced by both international and local studies. Specifically, individuals classified as obese demonstrate a higher prevalence of hypertension based on BMI categorization.
However, in Mongolia, limited studies have investigated the contributing factors and treatment outcomes of hypertension, highlighting the necessity of this study.
A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of 50 inpatients diagnosed with arterial hypertension (ICD-10 codes I10–I15) who were admitted to Sindura-Med Hospital between 2023 and 2024.
1. In patients with stage 1 and 2 arterial hypertensions, age, mean systolic and diastolic blood plessure, heart rate and elevated cholesterol levels were found to be correlated with body mass index (BMI). Among smokers, the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases is projected to increase over the next 10 years
2. In the hypertensive group aged 60 years and older, echocardiographic examination revealed structural and functional abnormalities.
3. In the pharmacological management of arterial hypertension, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin
converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, combination preparations, and diuretics were the most commonly
prescribed medications.

Introduction:
Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in paediatrics.1 Children were 1.3 times more likely to be treated with antibiotics compared to adults.2 Especially, antibiotic prescription is higher in children aged under 5 years.3
Purpose:
To identify the most widely used antibiotics in the age group of 0-5.
Objectives of the study:
1. To identify the most widely used antibiotics and classify them by pharmacological group
2. To analyze the pharmaceutical dosage forms of commonly prescribed antibiotics for infants and toddlers
Methods:
In our study, we selected 20 pharmacies from 6 districts (Bayanzurkh, Bayangol, Khan-Uul, Songinokhairkhan, Chingeltei, and Sukhbaatar) of Ulaanbaatar city using a single random sampling method. A total of 496 antibiotic prescriptions written for children aged 0-5 years in 20 pharmacies were analyzed. Antibiotic prescription forms for children aged 0-5 years registered in the pharmacies in November, December 2023, and January 2024 were collected. The results were processed using “SPSS 29.0.2” program.
Result:
Among a total of 496 antibiotic prescriptions written for children, 341 were written in solid dosage form and 155 were in liquid dosage form (suspension). Amoxicillin 250 mg and Amoxiclav 312.5 mg were mostly used from Penicillin group for the treatment of infants and toddlers. Clarithromycin 125mg/5ml from Macrolide group had an important role in treatment. Cefixime 400 mg from the Cephalosporin group was used in some cases such as diarrhea and vomit.
Conclusions
1. Amoxicillin, Amoxiclav, Clarithromycin (Penicillin, Macrolide) antibiotics are the most widely used in the treatment
of infants and toddlers.
2. It has concluded that antibiotic prescriptions for infants and toddlers mainly include solid and suspension antibiotics.

Background:
According to the Health Indicators 2023, diseases of the genitourinary system have ranked
fourth among the causes of diseases of the population over the past 10 years, accounting for 10.2% of all
diseases. The incidence of genitourinary tract infections by age group compared with 2014 increased by 997 cases in 2023 for all ages, and the highest increase by 2455.9 cases in those over 65 years of age. Therefore, early detection, diagnosis, and prevention of kidney disease are important.
Material and method:
The study included 40 adult persons who were hospitalized with chronic kidney disease
at Sindura-med hospital in 2023-2024. We studied the clinical observation in chronic kidney disease using
the pulse palpation, point palpation method of traditional medicine, and Pasternatsky’s symptom palpation of Western medicine.
Result:
At Sindura-med hospital, all patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease had cold character pulse
reading symptoms and pain on the kidney points of traditional medicine. Eye swelling is a common symptom in chronic kidney disease, but 17,5 percent of the study participants experienced eye swelling.
The majority, 52.5% of all inpatients, and 57.1% of women inpatients had on both sides plus Pasternatsky’s sign, which is a painful sensation when palpating the kidney area, but 45.5% of men inpatients had positive Pasternatsky sign on the right side.
Conclusion
According to traditional medical theory, when a disease has been going on for a long time, a
cold pulse will be detected through pulse reading diagnosis. In kidney disease, a positive Pasteur’s sign,
which is pain felt on palpation in the area, is a key diagnostic indicator.
