[Detection of Signs of Thrombus Formation in Patients With Typical Atrial flutter].

Aim: to assess rate of detection of markers of thrombi formation and to determine whether transthoracic echocardiography data or clinical characteristics predict severe left atrial appendage [LAA] dysfunction (low LAA velocity, severe spontaneous echo contrast [SEC], LAA thrombus) in patients with typical atrial flutter (AFI).

Material And Methods: Consecutive 406 patients (299 with atrial fibrillation [AFib] and 107 with AFI) underwent transesophageal echocardiography before cardioversion. Mean age was 59.

[Determination of Shigella antigens in the feces of people, immunized with enteral vaccine prepared from S. flexneri antigen].

The dynamic determination of the presence of the specific antigen and its activity in the excreta of humans subjected to enteral immunization with vaccine prepared from S. flexneri antigen was made in the agglutination test and neutralization test with the use of, respectively, antibody and antigenic erythrocyte diagnosticums. In the feces and urine of the vaccinees antibodies occurred less commonly and, as a rule, they were less active than those detected in dysentery patients at the corresponding time from the beginning of the disease.
