[Minimally invasive esophagectomy for benign esophageal diseases: results of a two-center study].

Objective: To analyze the results of thoracoscopic esophagectomy for benign esophageal diseases.

Material And Methods: The study included 78 patients who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy between 2011 and 2019. Peptic and burn strictures of the esophagus were diagnosed in 53 patients, achalasia - in 24 patients.

[Enhanced recovery program in thoracoabdominal surgery].

Unlabelled: Significant improvement of treatment outcomes and reduction of postoperative hospital stay can be achieved, provided a multifaceted approach used in the management of patients. The introduction of the enhanced recovery program addressing all possible factors of the perioperative period will contribute to the treatment protocol development for patients after extensive surgery on the esophagus.

Objective: To improve medical rehabilitation outcomes in patients after extensive surgery for benign and malignant diseases of the esophagus by implementing an enhanced recovery program.

[Toxicological evaluation of health risk of local fire in a closed environment].

Local fire in an enclosed environment was simulated, and the composition and toxicity of compounds outgassed by the polymers were investigated. Highly toxic compounds, e.g.

[Toxicological evaluation of the outgassing of tetrafluoroethylene-based thermostable polymeric materials during heating].

The purpose of this study was to investigate the composition and toxicity of fluoroplastic F-40 thermodestruction products at 300-500 degrees C and to identify the maximally allowable temperature for their safe use. When heated over 400 degrees C, the products of luoroplastic F-40 evolution included such compounds as hydrogen fluoride, fluro-organic compounds, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde. When heated at 500 degrees C, the thermodestruction products caused the highest mortality rate of mice.
