[Frequency and nature of intraoperative and early postoperative complications after glaucoma surgeries].

Purpose: To study the frequency and nature of intraoperative and early postoperative complications after glaucoma surgeries depending on several factors.

Material And Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed 87 outpatient records and case histories of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). All subjects had undergone standard trabeculectomy.

[Isolation of mycobacteria L forms as a prognostic criterion of recurrence and aggravation of tuberculosis in patients with extended residual tuberculous lesions of the lungs].

To elucidate the role of tubercle bacilli L-forms in tuberculosis relapsing and aggravation in patients with extended residual lesions in the lungs, 117 patients mainly with extended and neglected destructive tuberculosis of the lungs were observed for a period of 5 to 7 years with using microbiological and clinico-roentgeno-laboratory examinations. Analysis of the immediate and remote results of the treatment showed that in the group of the abacillary patients according to the routine microbiological investigations who continued to isolate L-forms of tubercle bacilli at the background of remaining destructive cavities in the lungs aggravations and relapses amounted to 46.6 per cent.

[GABA metabolism and the formation of a sensorimotor cortex evoked potential in the presence of excess zinc ions].

Changes in GABA content, the enzymatic activity of its metabolism and the formation of sensorimotor cortical evoked potential (EP) were studied following long-term ZnCl2 administration. It has been established that a single ZnCl2 injection at a dose of 0.1 and 1 mg/kg was accompanied by an increase in the amplitude of sensorimotor cortical EP, though GABA accumulation in this brain structure was observed.
