[Health assessment of newborns with congenital urinary malformation].

Improvement in diagnosis of prenatal congenital urinary malformations (CUM) resulted in increased detection of CUM cases among newborns. To facilitate medical care for CUM newborns, we have developed an objective method of CUM newborns' health assessment. We studied 40 case histories of newborns with prenatally detected CUM admitted to urological clinics (20 with diagnosis of poor health and 20 with moderate condition severity) and 40 CUM newborns examined outpatiently (moderate health hazard).

[Optimization of diagnostic and therapeutic tactics for primary megaureter in children].

[Diagnosis and treatment of locally advanced cancer of the urinary bladder].

The term "locally advanced cancer of the urinary bladder" is discussed. The data on examination and treatment of 375 patients are presented to work out criteria of diagnosis of the disease. Such patients have been shown to reveal extensive lesions from bladder tumor coupled with such homeostatic disorders as hypoamino-acidemia, endotoxicosis, metabolic acidosis, immunity deficiency and disturbed hemoglobin-mediated transport of oxygen.
