[Quantitative mineralogical analyzes of kidney stones and diagnosing metabolic disorders in female patients with calcium oxalate urolithiasis].

Objective: To conduct a complex examination of female patients with calcium oxalate urolithiasis to detect metabolic disorders, leading to stone formation.

Materials And Methods: The study was carried out using complex physical and chemical methods, including quantitative X-ray phase analysis of urinary stones, pH measurement, volumetry, urine and blood spectrophotometry.

Results: Quantitative mineralogical composition of stones, daily urine pH profile, daily urinary excretion of ions of calcium, magnesium, oxalate, phosphate, citrate and uric acid were determined in 20 female patients with calcium oxalate stones.

[The value of volatile fatty acids, citrulline and malondialdehyde for diagnosis of suppurative cholangitis in obstructive jaundice and choosing of optimal surgical approach (with commentary)].

Aim: To define the role of volatile fatty acids, citrulline and malondialdehyde for diagnosis of suppurative cholangitis in obstructive jaundice and to define optimal surgical approach.

Material And Methods: We studied the results of examination and treatment of 87 patients with different hepatopancreatobiliary pathology complicated by obstructive jaundice. It was determined blood concentration and range of volatile fatty acids which are metabolites of facultative anaerobic and obligate anaerobic bacterial pathogens.

[EXPERIENCE WITH E. COLI LYOPHILIZED BACTERIAL LYSATE OM-89 (URO-VAKSOM®) IN MEN WITH ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIOSPERMIA].

Chronic prostatitis is a significant problem of modern urology because it is the most common urological disease among the male population. We consider a 3 month course of OM-89 (Uro-Vaksom®) the most rational treatment of asymptomatic bacteriospermia caused by not only E. coli, but also by coexisting bacteria.

[Experience in the treatment of autoimmune male infertility in patients with category 4 chronic prostatitis].

Administration of longidaza at a dose of 3000 IU intramuscularly twice a week after 1 month of treatment leads to the statistically significant reduction of antisperm antibodies (ASAB) at the surface of sperm cells to 23% (7-48%) for MARIgG and to 14.5% (3-34%) for MARIgA. Maximum reduction of ASAB, however, was observed after third month of treatment, mean MARIgG was 2% (1-26,5%) and MARIgA - 1% (0-11.

[The correction of cognitive and psychological disorders in the patients presenting with vertebrogenic pain syndrome].

The objective of the present study was the dynamic estimation of the intensity of pain syndrome with the use of a visual-analog scale (VAS), characteristics of the psychological status and cognitive disorders, quality of life, and brain electrogenesis in 50 patients presenting with vertebrogenic pain syndrome of lumbar-sacral localization. It was shown that long-standing pain syndrome plays the dysadaptive role, causes structural and functional changes in the central nervous system (CNS), and is responsible for psychoemotional and cognitive disorders. The introduction of transcranial stimulation in the combined treatment of such patients promotes correction and reversibility of the above disorders, enhances the efficacy of electrotherapy, and improves the quality of life in the subjects with vertebrogenic pain syndrome.
