[A word about V.S. Ulashchik (on the 80th anniversary of his birth)].

In the history of physiotherapy there are many outstanding names, one of which is the name of Acad. V.S.

[Emphysematous pyelonephritis: case of successful conservative treatment].

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is rare form of pyelonephritis, which has mortality of nearly 80%. Conservative treatment can be successful in less than 30% of cases. Currently, in the guidelines there is no standard approach to conservative and surgical treatment of this entity.

[Learning curve of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy: how to achieve perfection?].

Purpose: to determine the characteristics of the surgeon training curve in the development of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PN).

Materials And Methods: The first 125 PNs performed by one team of surgeons were investigated. In chronological order, five groups of 25 operations were formed.

[Use of cernilton in the therapy of prostatic adenoma and chronic prostatitis].

Cernilton is a phytodrug containing pollen extract. It has antiandrogenic and anti-inflammatory effects influencing alpha1-adrenoblockers located in the zone of the detrusor and urethra. A conservative therapy with cernilton was given to 72 patients with chronic prostatitis and prostatic adenoma of stage I-II.

Josephson behavior of phase-slip lines in wide superconducting strips.

Phase-slip lines can be viewed as dynamically created Josephson junctions in a homogeneous superconducting film. In contrast to phase-slip centers, phase-slip lines occur in wide superconducting strips, where the order parameter may vary in two dimensions. We investigated phase-slip lines in two different materials using several methods.
