[Central hemodynamic parameters in adolescents aged 10-17 years in the Primorye Territory].

The paper presents the results of their own studies of the central hemodynamics of 1900 adolescents aged 10-17 years in the Primorye Territory. Most adolescents were found to have reduced cardiac output, stroke output, and cardiac index and no definitive level of the development of the cardiovascular system by the age of 17 years; the adolescents aged 10-14 years had diminished physical fitness.

[Prophylaxis of venous thromboembolic complications in patients operated on abdominal organs].

Comparative analysis of results of venous thromboembolic complications prophylaxis (deep vein thrombosis--DVT1, pulmonary artery thromboembolism--PAT) in patients operated on abdominal organs during two periods--from 1980 to 1983 (when traditional methods were used--leg bandage, rarely--0.25-0.5 g aspirin 1-2 times a day 5-8 days after surgery) and from 1984 to 1998 (when in the operated patients with moderate, high and very high risk of DVT and PAT combination of physical methods of blood flow acceleration in leg deep veins with drugs was used--minidoses or individually selected doses of non-fractionated heparin, low-molecular heparin, dextrans) was carried out.

[Laparoscopy in diagnosis of intestinal mesentery acute circulatory disturbance].

Laparoscopic data on 74 patients with jejuno-ileal mesentery acute circulatory disturbance were analysed. Positive (diagnosis is confirmed) and negative (diagnosis is rejected) results of the investigation, reasons of false diagnosis and repeated laparoscopies were examined. Features of the jejuno-ileal mesentery acute circulatory disturbance laparoscopic picture are determined depending on its stage (ischemia, infarct, peritxnitis) and kinds (arterial thrombosis and embolism, venous thrombosis, unocclusive mesenteric ischemia).
