[Clinical-morphological parallels in postpartum endometritis].

Clinicomorphologic parallels were studied in 45 puerperants with postpartum endometritis. This condition was histologically confirmed in 42 of the 45 patients with its clinical symptoms (in 100% of patients with the grave, in 95% with the medium-severity, and in 83% of those with the benign form of the disease). The authors came to the conclusion that the severity of postpartum endometritis was directly dependent on the extent and depth of the uterine wall involvement in the inflammatory process.

[Partial separation of sutures of the uterus after cesarean section (diagnosis and treatment tactics)].

Echography supplemented by hysteroscopy helped detect signs of partial separation of the sutures on the uterus in 12 of 33 patients with grave endometritis following cesarean section. Therapeutic policy in such cases should be based on rational etiotropic antibiotic therapy and active local treatment of the involved focus (surgical treatment of the uterine cavity walls, drainage of the uterus, local multicomponent ointments with a hydrophilic base). The treatment helped preserve the uterus and resulted in complete cure in 11 of the 12 cases.

[Clinical value of telethermography in the diagnosis of puerperal mastitis].

The study in 209 mothers with lactational mastitis has employed an AGA-780M thermovisor. Thermograms underwent a qualitative and quantitative isotherm-based evaluation. Diagnostic sensitivity of telethermography in mastitis was 97.
