Tendencies and ways of decrease of feto-infantile losses in Tatarstan Republic
Abstract
The integrated index level of feto-infantile losses combining mortinatality and infantile mortality iii Tatarstan Republic increased by 10,9% at the expense of its sharp rise in rural region from 1985 to 1995. Mortality in perinatal period (mortinatality is 39,8% and mortality during the first week of life is 31,4%) takes the leading position in its structure suggesting the necessity of reorganization of perinatal help by introducing a three— level system with concentration of pregnants and newborns of high risk groups, skilled staff and high material and technical provision in perinatal centres.



Acupuncture as a component of traditional (popular) medicine. Advances and problems

Changes of the structure of neuron, glial cells and capillaries in audiogenic epilepsy
Abstract
The changes of components of neuron — glia — capillar system in sensorimotor cortex of rats in 1, 12 and 24 hours after one and four audiogenic seizures are investigated by luminous and partly electronic microscopy methods. The changes of neurons, their dendrites, glial cells and vessels with elements of reparative character are discovered. During postseizure period the intracellular structure of neurons rocovers earlier then the structure of dendrites. The separate neurons undergo irreversible destruction in the presence of glial cells hyperplasia, vascular disorders retain.



Correlation of antioxidant activity and physical capacity for work of sportsmen under the influence of complex adaptogens of vegetable origin
Abstract
It is shown that chemoluminescence may be an important characteristic of human adaptability to physical load. Adaptogenic drugs of various types (elton, leveton, phytoton, adapton) in experiments in vitro decrease superfaint fluorescence of urine suggesting their direct antioxidant effect. Chemoluminescence and malonic dialdehyde concentration in urine of skilled sportsmen decrease after 20-days injection of adaptogens and their physical capacity for work tested by veloergometry with step by step increasing load сhances. The drugs may be located in decreasing order according to the influence on capacity for work and chemoluminescence: adapton, phytoton, leveton, elton.



Endoprosthetics in consequences of tuberculosis coxitis
Abstract
Проанализированы результаты эндопротезирования 39 пациентов с последствиями туберкулезного коксита. Однополюсный цервикокапитальный протез при разрушении головки бедренной кости применен у 18 пациентов, тотальное эндопротезирование эндопротезами Польди-Безноска (Чехия) - у 21 пациента. Противотуберкулезная терапия проводится в течение 2-6 месяцев с обязательным клинико-рентгенологическим контролем в 28 случаях после гистологической верификации диагноза, а в 4 случаях в связи с активностью процесса с использованием одного препарата. Эндопротезирование коксофеморального сустава после туберкулезного коксита является перспективной операцией, но перед операцией необходимо тщательное обследование больных для выявления скрытого туберкулезного процесса.

Results of the treatment of cervical carcinoma relapses
Abstract
It is established that combined radiation initial treatment of cervical carcinoma results in relapses at about each forth patient. Relapses develop in more than 57,1% of the observations during the first two years after treatment and in more than 20,8% of the observations after 5 years. This shows the necessity of careful observation of patients for long, especially during the first two years. The survival rate of patients after radiation and chemical therapy increases essentially in comparison with that in patients after just symptomatic treatment.

Under the general name "changes and damages of the pubic joint" there are up to 16 components: loosening, softening, edema impregnation, stretching, dilation, divergence, rupture, inflammatory process, aseptic necrosis, a sterile form of osteomalacia of pregnant women, a special form of pregnant women toxicity, a special form of hypovitaminosis, symphysiopathy, osteopathy, symphyseitis.



Cavernous liver tuberculosis
Abstract
Cavernous liver tuberculosis is very rare and is detected only on autopsy or by histological examination of biopsy material obtained during surgery or laparoscopy. Hepatic damage occurs due to infection from the primary pulmonary tuberculosis complex and in the progressive course can be complicated by mechanical jaundice and subdiaphragmatic abscess. With a prolonged course, delayed diagnosis, and treatment, cavernous liver tuberculosis can cause arrasive bleeding and gastrointestinal fistula formation.

What is the Internet?
Abstract
In 1969, the U.S. created the ARPAnet computer network, linking the computer centers of the Department of Defense and several academic organizations. This network was designed for a narrow purpose: mainly to study how to communicate in the event of a nuclear attack and to help researchers exchange information. As this network grew, many other networks were created and developed.



Extension of indications for local application of Dolgit cream for vertebrogenic pain syndromes
Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used to relieve the pain (algic) syndrome. However, their oral use is limited because of the development of drug-induced gastropathies, including gastric bleeding, gastric or intestinal ulcer perforations. Risk factors for drug-induced gastropathies include older age, female gender, smoking, taking corticosteroids along with NSAIDs, and a history of gastrointestinal pathology (ulcers, gastritis, bleeding). The risk of gastropathy complications is especially high in those who suffer from chronic gastrointestinal diseases.



Photoelectric polarimeter for measuring sugar concentration in urine
Abstract
In the practice of clinical laboratory research polarimeters are rarely used so far. The reason is that existing visual polarimeters are inconvenient, require special sample processing and are inaccurate (at best ±0.05°, which for yellow light and at L=0.5 dm corresponds to C = ±0.2%), and universal photoelectric polarimeters are expensive (from 3500 to 66000 dollars), bulky and usually give readings in angles a, so difficult to maintain.
