[Application of low-intensity and ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic radiation in modern pediatric practice].

The use of an Amfit-0,2/10-01 apparatus generating low-intensity ultrahigh frequency (UHF) electromagnetic radiation improved efficiency of therapy of sick children. This treatment allowed to reduce the frequency of intake of anesthetics in the post-operative period, correct metabolic disorders in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, reduce severity of diabetic nephropathy and polyneuropathy, prevent formation of fresh foci of lipoid necrobiosis. The results of the study indicate that the use of low-intensity UHF electromagnetic radiation may be recommended for more extensive introduction into practical clinical work of pediatric endocrinologists and surgeons.

[Plasma fibronectin level in newborn infants with suppurative inflammatory diseases].

The level of plasma fibronectin was determined in healthy newborns (45 plasma samples were examined in the control group) and in newborns with pyo-septic diseases (67 plasma samples were examined) by the immunoenzyme method (on the basis of the "sandwich" modification of the immunoenzyme analysis). Noticeable hypofibrinectinemia was observed in the infants with pyo-inflammatory diseases, particularly in cases of generalized forms. Combined modality etiopathogenetic therapy including i.
