[Prevalence and features of geriatric syndromes treatment in old patients (clinical and epidemiological study).].

We studied the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases (CND) in elderly and senile patients in conjunction with the syndrome of senile asthenia, the prevalence of sarcopenia depending on gender characteristics and the frequency of occurrence of the falls syndrome in patients with sarcopenia of older age groups. The features of drug therapy in outpatient practice were analyzed. The method of complex geriatric assessment was used in 528 patients divided into 3 age groups (65-74 years, 75-84 years, 85 years or more).

[Nucleic acids of the gastric mucosa in chronic gastritis and cancer].

The levels of DNA and RNA in gastric mucosa were assayed in 50 patients suffering various morphological variants of chronic gastritis and 73 cases of stomach cancer. Nearly identical rise in nucleic acid concentrations was identified in both atrophic gastritis and stomach cancer as compared to atrophy-free gastritis and normal condition. A link between atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer was suggested.
