Program and Abstract Book Technical University of Moldova; Moldavian Society of Biomedical Engineering; SONTEA, Victor; TIGINYANU, Ion; RAILEAN, Serghei ICNBME-2021 continues the series of International Conferences in the field of nanotechnologies and biomedical engineering. The conference aims at bringing together scientists and engineers dealing with fundamental and applied research for reporting on the latest theoretical developments and applications in the fields involved. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.utm.md/handle/5014/19214 Endowment with Medical Devices and Their Conformity Assessment as Key Elements for Improving Access to High Quality Medical Services GORCEAG, Gheorghe The importance of medical devices in the delivery of high-quality medical services has grown considerably once there was a significant progress of the medical technologies. According to the international experience in the healthcare field, the success of the medical care services is largely due to the joint contribution of physician’s proficiency and the appropriate use of medicines and medical devices. Thus, medical devices are a key component of the medical practice, and subsequently, medical device safety and efficiency are a priority for the health system and the Government overall.

Despite the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection, knowledge of the symptomatology, modalities of transmission, severity and prognosis is limited. Based on the complex analysis of the 701 pediatric cases, from 5 public medical-health institutions in the Republic of Moldova, positively diagnosed with SARS - CoV-2 infection by the RT-PCR molecular method, 73% of the children were in close contact with a COVID-19 positive person in the last 14 days until the illness. Most of the hospitalized children develop moderate clinical forms of COVID-19 (84.17% cases). The mean age of children with severe form is lower compared to those with moderate or mild form. The sex of patients does not influence the course of the disease. Children's age influences paternal manifestations: children of preschool age (<7 years) more often show high fever, changes in consciousness, drowsiness, rash, diarrhea and dyspnea, while children > 10 years: headache, pharyngitis, hypo/anosmia, ageusia, myalgia, arthralgia and vertigo. No statistical correlations were found between the form of the disease and the presence of comorbidities. The evolution of pediatric COVID-19 infection is favorable, considering that 97.57% of children do not show clinical manifestations at discharge. Knowledge of various clinical pictures of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus would allow the doctor to make an early diagnosis, administer adequate treatment and establish preventive measures.

V.; COSTRIUCOVA, N.; RUSNAC, D.; BUSUIOC, S.; MONAICO, E. V. ZnO:Ga:Cl ceramics were sintered using chemical vapor transport technique. Ga content was varied in a range of 0−10 mol %. The wettability of unpolished and polished surface of ZnO:Ga:Cl ceramics was investigated. The polished and etched surface of ZnO ceramics is in a hydrophilic state. The presence of Ga impurity leads to a strong increase in the water contact angle to 131°. This behavior is attributed to a high concentration of free electrons, which suppress the formation of intrinsic surface defects acting as traps for water molecules. Air pockets on unpolished surfaces of ZnO:Ga:Cl ceramics are an additional factor that increases the water contact angle.
