[Combination of toxic multinodular goiter and primary hyperparathyroidism with rare ectopia of parathyroma].

A well-known feature of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is possible ectopic localization of parathyroid adenoma that can significantly complicate diagnostic process. Ectopia in the aortic window is extremely rare and accounts only 1% of ectopic parathyroid adenomas in the mediastinum and 0.24% among all parathyroid adenomas.

[Anti-Titin-antibodies at the patients with myasthenic and non-myasthenic thymoma].

Serum specimens from 52 myasthenic patients with thymoma of various histological characteristics and 4 patients with thymoma without myasthenia have tested for anti-Titin-antibodies titer. It has been demonstrated that organ-specific thymoma dominated at myasthenic patients, and organ-nonspecific thymoma - at the patients without myasthenia. There was no correlation between severe clinical symptoms and the level of anti-Titin-antibodies.

[Severity levels of intraoperative injury in patients with diffuse disseminated pulmonary syndrome].

Differential diagnosis of diseases manifested with lung diffuse dissemination syndrome is very difficult. Final diagnosis is possible only after pathologic examination of specimens taken during diagnostic surgical procedures. Results of open and videothoracoscopic lung biopsy at 107 patients are analyzed.

[Intraoperative ultrasound investigation and laser spectroscopy for diagnosis of cancer in patients with lung tumors].

The experience in more than 2000 surgeries on the lungs is analyzed. Recently intraoperative ultrasonic and laser autofluorescent spectroscopic revision of tumors of the lungs and mediastinal organs is successfully used. Intrasurgical ultrasonic examination of the lungs permits to detect the structure and diffusion of primary lung tumor (invasion of vessels) that influences policy of treatment.
