[Complex radiodiagnosis of oropharyngeal neoplasms].

The paper describes the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spiral computed tomographic (SCT) symptoms of malignant and benign tumors of the oral cavity and throat. It also depicts different types of tumors, such as squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, papilloma, and lipoma. The MRI and SCT symptoms of malignant and benign tumors, as well as metastatic lesion in lymph nodes and destruction of bone elements are described in detail.

[Use of endobronchial valve in postresection empyema and residual cavities with bronchopleural fistulas].

The results of treatment are analyzed in 78 patients with brochopleural fistilas after lung surgery. A method for imaging the draining bronchus under endoscopic guidance, by using the foamed dye administered into the residual cavity, has been developed. A valvular bronchial blocker for abolishing the function of bronchopleural fistular inserted into the lobular and segmental bronchus at bronchoscopy was designed and clinically tested.
