The clinical course of tropical malaria in 265 Russians and in 672 aboriginals is compared. The course of tropical malaria in Russians was more serious than in aboriginals of Guinea and was characterized by great duration and height of fever, higher level of parasitemia and great frequency of complications. Anemia, neutropenia, relative lymphocytosis, high ESR and hemoglobinosis S were revealed in aboriginals of Guinea in contrast to Russians; the course of malaria was without temperature in some of aboriginals.

A new original operation — pyloroplasty by the resected stomach is described. In surgery of peptic ulcer the change of basic principles is necessary: from the formation of draining anastomoses to the methods allowing to preserve pylorus mechanism, from radical suppression of acid formation to its correction up to the safe level. The results of 597 operations are given, of these in 521 duodenoplasty and pyloroplasty by the resected stomach which are characterized by more favourable results are performed.

The analysis of causes of death among definite contingent named tramps is carried out for the first time in home literature. It is shown that among forced causes of death supercooling prevails, and among somatic diseases ischemic heart disease and tuberculosis prevail. The difficulties in medicolegal diagnosis are noted in connection with polypathology observed in persons of no fixed address.

The mechanism and anatomic substrate of permeability disorder of the hyalolenticozonular barrier on account of displacement of the iridolenticular diaphragm laterally are studied and the role of these changes in etiology of postoperational ciliochoroidal amotio is determined. The displacement of the iridolenticular diaphragm on acco- unt of anterior chamber emptying results in damage of the antenor hyaloid membrane.

The efficiency of substitution hormonotherapy in the treatment of 60 women with climacteric disorders is studied. Its efficiency and safety as well as its acceptability in elder patients with common somatic diseases are noted.

Over the past 25 years, laser radiation has found wide application in various fields of medicine, including neurology, mainly as a means of pain relief [17]. A high degree of specificity of the photobiological action is determined by its unique properties: monochromaticity, selective focus and coherence.

Acute fatty hepatosis (AFS) in pregnant women is a rare but formidable complication of pregnancy. Mortality in this pathology reaches 60-100%, but significantly decreases in the case of delivery in the pre-icterus period. We did not find in the available literature a description of childbirth after suffering from OZHH, in this regard, we present our own observation.

Currently, the method of choice of surgical treatment for adenomyosis, submucous fibromatous nodes and necrosis of fibromatous nodes is laparoscopic uterine amputation. In our practice, we use the method of monopolar electrosurgery of supravaginal amputation of the uterus developed by us.

The basic meteorologic quantities are analyzed. The data bank is produced: a) for air temperature from 1828 to 1991; b) amounts of clouds; c) wind velocity; d) air humidity; e) amounts of precipitation. Moreover from april 1990 to 1992 there are average daily data on temperature, humidity, velocity and pressure of air. It turned out that the number of myocardial infarctions and air temperature had nagative correlation (r=-0,22; p> 0,99%). When air humidity increases, the number of myocardial infarctions increases. The dependence of the disease on air pressure and wind velocty is less. The study of medicoclimatic state of kazan allows to reveal fluctuations of meteorologic parameters and to estimate the associations which are the basis of statistical prediction of meteorologic factors affecting population health in kazan.

Morbidity with temporary disability among railroaders of the Kazan department of the Gorky Railroad calculating the basic indices in cases and days from 1994 to 1996 is analyzed. The tendency to the increase of the level of diseases and the increase of the average duration of disability on separate railway junctions and as a whole in Kazan are studied. The recommendations are as follows: provision of working places with lighter conditions of work for placement of persons with temporary disability, improvement of control of temporary disability examination; qualitative improvement of prophylactic medical examination of persons with ischemia heart disease, hypertension, gastric ulcer and rheumatism.

20 years of experience with the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in the clinic has shown that in some patients with arterial hypertension (AH) drugs of this group are ineffective. In addition, during treatment with ACE inhibitors, the following fact is also observed: after a certain period of lowering blood pressure (BP) against the background of their intake, its increase is again noted, despite an increase in the dose of the drug

The conference opened with welcoming speeches of Academician V.D. Fedorov and the President of the Russian Association of Radiologists Prof. P.V. Vlasov.

The whole world was bypassed by a sensation - the birth of a cloned sheep Dolly. December 19, 1997 in the issue of the journal "Scaence" (1997, Vol. 278, P. 2130-2133) A. Schnikei et al. described the process of reproduction of transgenic sheep using the nuclear transfer method, which was previously developed for the reproduction of Dolly sheep
