[Myoclonus epilepsy in children and adolescents].

Twelve cases of myoclonus epilepsy initiating in childhood and adolescence were studied clinically, electrophysiologically and biochemically. Myoclonic and epileptic syndromes being most pronounced, the clinical pattern presented certain polymorphism: asymmetry, hyperkinesis, myodystonia, epileptic episodes, mental disorders. The electroencephalographic picture of the disease was variable.

[Value of hemosorption and essential phospholipids in the complex treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease].

Eighty-three patients were treated with hemosorption and essential phospholipids for coronary heart disease (CHD) and followed up for 3-5 years. The new approach to the treatment of CHD involves simultaneous removal of cholesterol-rich atherogenic lipoproteins by hemosorption and administration of essential phospholipids to increase cholesterol withdrawal from the cells. This combined treatment of coronary patients is shown to normalize cholesterol metabolism, improve microcirculation, increase stress tolerance and bring about an obvious clinical remission.

[Hemosorption in the complex treatment of arteriosclerotic dyscirculatory encephalopathy associated with chronic ischemic heart disease].

Hemosorption was included in combined treatment of 110 patients with atherosclerotic dyscirculatory encephalopathy combined with coronary heart disease. The effect was assessed on the basis of clinical improvement, psychological tests, blood lipid assays, compressed spectral EEG analysis and ultrasonic flowmetry of the carotid arteries. The effectiveness of hemosorption was demonstrated at all stages of the disease, with the regression of general cerebral and focal neurologic symptoms preceding clinical remission of coronary heart disease.

[Complex immunochemical examination of patients with some liver disorders].

Complex differential-diagnostic immunodiffusional test for a number of blood plasma proteins, antigens of liver tissue and alpha-fetoprotein was used to evaluate the liver tissue functional state. The test characterized more distinctly the liver tissue function as compared with estimation of individual proteins and was more informative in diagnosis of liver tissue disorders.
