O. B. Dynnyk
President of the Ukrainian Association of Ultrasound Diagnostic
Dear participants and guests of the International Medical Forum 2014!
The new challenges of time require directing the efforts of physicians to the solution of the burning problems of health care. As it follows from the concept of the new healthcare system, this concerns, first of all, the most widespread infectious and non-infectious diseases (especially viral hepatitis, metabolic syndrome and diabetes, hypertensive and ischemic diseases, tumours of the breast, reproductive organs, and gastrointestinal tract).
Due to the latest technological achievements, ultrasonic diagnostics should become one of the leading directions in solving these problems. The Ukrainian Association of Ultrasound Diagnostic welcomes the International Medical Forum 2014, which is an important information event concerning some modern achievements of medical science and technology, organisation of the system of health care and communication of the professionals. The turbulent events in the society of Ukraine in 2013-2014 have reached to the extent of traumatic epidemics. Ultrasonic diagnostics plays an important role in the algorithm of maintaining patients with polytrauma, in particular “FAST protocol”.
Nowadays, ultrasound diagnostic can affect the endpoints and quality of life of the patients with the majority of the mentioned nosology. A set of various technologies under the general name of elastography should be noted particularly.
Thanks to elastography, instrumental distant palpation of the organs becomes possible. Qualitative and quantitative determination of the stiffness of tissues and their elastic properties has diagnostically important information. Fibrotic and cirrhotic changes in the liver, its fatty degeneration, as well as remodeling and fibroid heart and walls of the arteries; detection, differential diagnosis and monitoring of the tumours pathomorphism are just a small part of the problems that the ultrasonic technology solves.
It is important to develop, approve and implement the national protocols of performance of all range of ultrasonic techniques. Another step to regulating the ultrasonic cardiological and angiological methods is the public discussion and adoption of the Decree “On the organisation and operation of the functional diagnostics system in health care institutions of Ukraine” by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. This document will allow us to introduce widely a significant amount of ultrasonic techniques of investigation of cardiovascular system and to train the professionals.
We hope that interested communication of the professionals during the lectures and masterclasses of the Medical Forum will become a source of a new professional knowledge and achievements.

Dear participants and guests of the scientific-practical conference!
On behalf of the Association of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine of Ukraine and on my own behalf, let me congratulate you sincerely on the beginning of the work of the scientific-practical conference with international participation "Present and the future of laboratory medicine" within the framework of the V International Medical Forum and specialized exhibition of laboratory equipment.
From all variety of medical activity spheres, laboratory diagnosis is one of the directions that develop more intensively at the present stage. Laboratory Medicine has high knowledge content. New fundamental inventions in biology and medicine, new technologies and equipment help to improve the role of laboratory diagnostics in medicine.
Modern clinical laboratory, consuming totally about 5 % from general expenses of health care, provides objective diagnostic information which is important for 65-70 % of medical solutions. In many critical situations laboratory results have life-saving value, while preventive and forecasting potential of clinical laboratory researches, in general, are not evaluated completely.
Special attention in the conference program will be given to scientific achievements in the practice of laboratory diagnostics, algorithms of immunocytochemical researches in diagnostics of the neoplastic processes and internet-based technologies in laboratory medicine.
The main conclusion of the discussion at the conference should be the formation of a common platform for actions and consolidated efforts in every region of the country aimed to accessibility and quality of laboratory services.
I hope that the scientific forum will be a source of knowledge for laboratory medicine professionals, will facilitate the exchange of information, experience and the formation of new views on the most actual problems of laboratory medicine.
I wish the organizers and all participants of the conference continue to lead their talents and professional skills to increase achievements for the sake of laboratory medicine. Strong health, creative success, true friends and colleagues to you.
