[A permanent magnetic field in the combined treatment of acute endometritis after an artificial abortion].

117 patients with acute endometritis after induced abortion were examined using markers of wound process phases and treated according to the original method. This consists in combination of constant magnetic field with other modalities. Application of the constant magnetic field produced a significant clinical response and reduced the hospital stay through positive effect on healing of the endometrial wound.

[Significance of prognostic factors in the treatment of tuboperitoneal infertility].

The results of microsurgical treatment for tubo-peritoneal infertility are reported in 78 patients. Neosalpingostomy, combined with salpingo-ovariolysis, was performed in 51 patients, fimbriolysis and fimbrioplasty, in 8, tubal anastomosis in 7, and combined operations, in 12. Anatomical and functional assessment of the postoperative tubes was made using roentgeno-television hysterosalpingography, tubal insufflation and dynamic scintigraphy.

[Prenatal diagnosis of mannosidosis using chorion villi].

The prenatal diagnosis of mannosidosis was carried out in one at-risk fetus by the analysis of chorionic villi obtained after 9 weeks of pregnancy. The diagnosis was based on the absence of acid alpha-mannosidase activity as determined by specific enzyme assay. The activity of two other lysosomal hydrolases (beta-galactosidase and beta-hexosaminidase) in chorion biopsy specimen was similar to the control values.
