SIGNIFICANCE OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL SHEAR WAVE ELASTOGRAPHY IN PREDICTING ESOPHAGEAL VARICOSE VEINS DURING CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE.

The aim of the study was to reveal diagnostic capabilities of 2D SWE for predicting esophageal varices (EV) in patients with chronic liver diseases. This case-control study included clinical-laboratory examination results data of 104 patients which were collected retrospectively at the medical center from January 2020 to April 2022. 52 patients who were participated in the examination had got chronic liver disease (case group), and 52 patients were healthy (control group).

[PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF SOME HEMOSTASIS-RELATED, HOMOCYSTEINE, HIGH SENSITIVE C R P AND MULTIDETECTOR COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY PARAMETERS IN PULMONARY EMBOLISM].

Nowadays, an arsenal of diagnostic methods is used in diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, which includes x-ray, angiography, perfusion-ventilation scintigraphy, CT and magnetic resonance imaging, Doppler and laboratory studies. Purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic significance of determination of some parameters of hemostasis (D-dimer, Soluble fibrinmonomer complexes, fibrinogen), homocysteine, hs-CRP and multidetector computed tomography in suspected pulmonary embolism. We have examined 54 patients -31 men and 23 women, aged 18 to 76 years, with characteristics of pulmonary embolism.

[Development and optimization of diagnostically informative boichemical and coagulative correlators in various atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries].

Diagnostically informative biochemical and coagulative correlators in various atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries are developed. It has been established positive correlation of the degree of stenosis and intima-media thickness of carotid arteries with the following biochemical parameters: total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Apo-B, Lp(a), triglycerides, hs-C-reactive protein(CRP), interleukines (IL-1ß and IL-6), fibrinogen, D-dimers. Negative correlation was stated with respect to HDL cholesterol, Apo-A-1, protein C.

[Comparative morphofunctional characteristics of arterial blood vessels of the different kidney segments in humans].

The arterial blood vessels of 26 kidneys of people of both sexes at the first period of mature age were studied. Using Doppler renal investigation of superior segmental and anterior inferior segmental arteries in color duplex scan mode and multislice computed tomographic angiography, intravital investigation of 20 kidneys were performed. Corrosion casts of the renal vasculature of 6 kidneys, obtained at autopsy, were studied using scanning electron microscopy.

[Clinical, structural-functional and haemodynamic correlates of cerebral venous blood circulation disturbances].

Difficulties of liquor circulation as a result of cerebrospinal fluid absorption and venous drainage of the entire intracranial space, in particular in the presence of venous system abnormalities in the forms of hypoplasia or aplasia of venous sinuses, play an essentiale role in cerebral venous dyscirculation. The symmetric character of hydrocephaly in chronic insufficiency of cerebral blood circulation and strong dependence of chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency on passive congestion suggest that the latter is characteristic of the blood supply system in whole. The MPI analysis of 120 patients revealed signs of cerebral ischemic lesions in 72% of cases, i.
