[Frequency and morphology of DIC-syndrome in children in early neonatal period].

Morphological study of 120 autopsy cases of newborns who died of intrauterine pneumonia, respiratory distress, hemorrhage into the brain ventricles and asphyxia revealed that in all these diseases intravascular blood coagulation develops which can be disseminated or local. Morphological manifestations of DIC-syndrome in newborns are described. The development of DIC-syndrome 18-24 hours before death is considered as a sign of compensatory-adaptive failure at the level of microcirculatory bed (type of "blood degeneration").

[An expert system for biopsy diagnosis of lymph node pathology using a personal computer].

The program has been developed for biopsy diagnosis in lymph node disease including tumors. The expert knowledge is based on the information about more than 200 morphological symptoms of 37 nosological unities: reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, metastatic tumors, granulomatous disease and others. The decision three consists of three sections: diffuse nontumor processes, inflammatory focal processes and tumor diffuse and focal processes.

[Disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome in myocardial infarct].

To establish the incidence of the disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) syndrome, 76 patients who had died from acute myocardial infarction were clinically and anatomically analysed. The studies indicated that microcirculatory thrombosis in myocardial infarction occurred in the first to early second weeks of its development and localized in minor veins of one organ and only in 21.4% of cases it involved three organs or more.

[Criteria of selection of patients for organ-sparing operations in tubal pregnancy].

Rabbit experiments indicated that resection of a half of the oviduct anastomosed failed to impair its function and reproduction of viable progeny. With greatly varying diameters of sutured pieces, the valuable anastomosis was made by additional cuts of the narrow end of the oviduct. Analysis of 332 case histories and morphological studies of 10 control and 70 pregnant tubes suggested criteria for selection of patients, for organ-preserving surgeries.

[Neurologic aspects of motion sickness].

To study the function of the nervous system in motion disease, 48 persons with low stability of the vestibular apparatus in response to accelerations induced by body rotation within two planes underwent clinico-neurologic and neurophysiological examinations. It has been established that in the second grade motion disease, there appears disseminated neurological micro-symptomatology which in 93% of the test subjects with the third degree disease becomes evident enough. It is accompanied by vegetovascular lability and transitory asthenia.

[Characteristics of sources and means of spread of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in urology wards].

Patients with purulent septic infections form the main source of infection in urological departments. The spread of infection from these patients occurs mainly by contact in dressing and cystoscopy rooms. The complex of measures, planned in accordance with the results of diagnosis, makes it possible to decrease morbidity rate in the purulent septic infections of the urinary tract.

[Effect of a low-intensity CO2 laser on the process of reparative regeneration of experimental wounds].

The authors studied the effect of CO2 laser with an energy density ranging from 0.1 to 300 mVt/cm2 on reparative regeneration of experimental wounds. The criteria of the efficacy of laser therapy were the wound surface area, the surface of the necrotic area, cellular composition and the content of collagen and glycosaminoglycans in the granulation tissue.

[Late results of pregnancy and labor in myasthenia patients].

The results of a follow-up study involving 55 parous myasthenic patients and their offspring (a total of 63 births) are presented. The observation period lasted from 5 to 20 years after delivery. Of all the children born to these parents, two died immediately after birth.

[Krabbe's globoid-cell leukodystrophy in a 3 1/2-month-old infant].

Morphology of the brain and its meninges, and internal organs in a girl of 3.5 months is described. The variety of size and shape of the so-called globoid cells in the brain and its meninges is shown.
