[Oral cavity manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease].

The aim of the study was to investigate changes in the oral cavity and the gastroesophageal zone of the patients receiving rabeprazol, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). The subjects were 88 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), who had changes in the oral cavity typical of this disease. The patients were divided into four groups.

[Use of proton pump inhibitors in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease].

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a wide spread disease characterized by distinct clinical polymorphism manifesting with various symptoms and/or inflammatory changes of a distal portion of the esophagus. Current first-line therapy in GERD consists in administration of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) which promote faster relief of the symptoms and healing of erosive-ulcerous lesions of esophageal mucosa in GERD patients. Clinical efficacy of standard and novel PPI is compared.

[Clinico-functional evaluation of the efficacy of treating gastroesophageal reflux disease combined with bronchial asthma with omeprazole].

Aim: To investigate the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) among patients with bronchial asthma (BA) and to determine the effects of omeprazole therapy on the outcome of asthma in patients with GERD.

Material And Methods: 117 BA patients were examined. Those who had a concomitant GERD were divided into two groups to receive outpatiently omeprazole 40 mg/day or placebo for 8 weeks.

[Adaptational reactions in patients with acute pneumonia].

Adaptive reactions were studied in 80 patients with acute pneumonia. In the hospital 94.1% patients showed reactions of stress and incomplete reactions of training and activation.

[Study of the right heart and external respiratory functions in patients with liver cirrhosis by Doppler echocardiography].

The paper presents clinical and instrumental evidence on 47 patients with hepatic cirrhosis. The revealed ventilatory disorders and worse bronchial permeability closely correlated with the degree of pulmonary hypertension which in its turn depended on portal hypertension degree. Pulmonary hypertension decreased with a decline in the activity of the pathological process in the liver due to treatment.

[Status of capillary blood flow in the lungs in various outcomes of acute pneumonia].

The method of perfusion scanning of the lungs with albumin microaggregate 131I was used for studying the state of pulmonary blood flow in patients with acute pneumonia (AP). The outcome of the disease was chronic non-specific lung disease (CNLD). The results of study demonstrated the improvement of microcirculation by the time of discharge from a hospital, but in 54.
