[Sarcoidosis with Cardiac Involvement and Monoclonal Gammopathy].

The article presented a clinical case of 8-year follow-up of a patient with a relatively beneficial course of pulmonary sarcoidosis and intrathoracic lymph nodes and with gradually progressing myocardial injury. A specific feature of the case was that the patient had monoclonal gammopathy, which is extremely rarely reported. Morphological signs of paraproteinemic hemoblastosis and amyloidosis were not observed.

[Renal and uterine hemodynamics in pregnancy with chronic glomerulonephritis of the hypertonic type].

Aim: To study gestational changes in renal and uterine hemodynamics and their relation to systemic and intracardiac hemodynamics in pregnant hypertensive women with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN).

Material And Methods: Echocardiography, ultrasonic dopplerography of renal and uterine arteries were made in 16 pregnant women with CGN and AH syndrome in trimester II-III and 1-3 months after the delivery. Hemodynamic indices in pregnancy were compared to those after the delivery which were considered baseline.

[Diagnostic differentiation between two syndromes of progressive myoclonus epilepsy].

The study aimed to differentiate, according to clinical and electroencephalographical criteria, between the most frequent types of myoclonus epilepsy--Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD) and Lafora disease (LD). Two patients with ULD and two with LD, aged 13-16 years, have been examined. In all cases, the diagnosis of myoclonus epilepsy has been verified by using molecular genetic analysis.

[Renal and uterine hemodynamics in pregnant women with hypertension].

Aim: To study gestational alterations of renal and uterine hemodynamics, their relationships with systemic and intracardiac hemodynamics in pregnant women (PW) with essential hypertension (EH).

Material And Methods: Echocardiography, ultrasound dopplerography of renal and uterine arteries, roll-over test were made in the course of trimester II-III and 3 months after the delivery in 48 PW with EH degree 1-2 and control 20 healthy PW. Hemodynamic parameters in pregnancy were compared to postpartum ones.
