[Correction of the intraintestinal status in patients with diffuse peritonitis].

Complex methods of intraintestinal status correction are proposed for patients surgically treated for general peritonitis. These methods consist of three main components: suppression of excessive bacterial colonization of gastrointestinal tract; binding of toxic substances and microorganisms; colonization of small intestine by physiological strains of bacteria. Original design of three-lumen tube for nasogastrointestinal intubation was used.

[The x-ray radiological semeiotics of the pain syndrome in a traumatic lesion of the brachial plexus].

X-ray radionuclide studies revealed a variety of morphological changes at the cervicothoracic levels of the spinal cord and its meninges. Despite a preganglionary injury to the brachial plexus, there was a clear-cut correlation between the level and nature of an injury on the one hand, and the severity of the pain syndrome, on the other. A more significant progression was observed in abruption of the inferior roots than in that of superior ones.

[Intraoperative instrumental examination in stomach cancer].

Ultrasound examination and laser autofluorescent spectroscopy were used intraoperatively for evaluation of gastric cancer dissemination. These methods were efficient in differentiation of cancer and benign tumors, estimation of cancer dissemination, revealing of metastases in the liver and lymph nodes. The use of these methods made it possible to increase sensitivity and specificity of estimation of cancer infiltration to 100% and of revealing lymph nodes metastases to 90% and 76%, respectively.
