[Clinical and functional results of bifocal IOLs implanted during combined cataract and glaucoma surgery].

Unlabelled: At present, implantation of multifocal IOLs in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) remains questionable.

Purpose: To comparatively analyze the clinical and functional effectiveness of bifocal IOLs implanted during combined cataract and glaucoma surgery.

Material And Methods: The prospective study included 41 patients (75 eyes) with presbyopia and POAG who underwent one-stage cataract phacoemulsification with implantation of a multifocal IOL and non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) with lens capsule.

[Gastric erosions: pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment].

Recent data on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of gastric erosion are reviewed. Classification of acute and chronic erosions is proposed. The authors point out to the lack of documented scientific information related to the role and significance of erosions in gastroduodenal pathology.

Effect of drugs with various mechanisms of action on propulsive activity of the small intestine.

We studied the effect of drugs with various mechanisms of action on propulsive activity of the small intestine in healthy rats. Blockade of the major inhibitory influences realized via nonadrenergic noncholinergic inhibitory effector neurons was not followed by stimulation of intestinal transit. Propulsive activity of the small intestine increased upon treatment with drugs, whose effects are realized via acetylcholine or acetylcholine and serotonin.

Effect of NO synthesis blocker on electrical activity of rat stomach and small intestine in the early postoperation period.

The effect of NO on electrical activity of the stomach and small intestine was studied in chronic experiments on rats during the early postoperation period. Generation of migrating myoelectric complex in the stomach and small intestine was impaired after abdominal surgery. Administration of NO synthesis blocker suppressed the inhibitory influences, which potentiated generation of the myoelectric complex in the small intestine.

[Assessment of effectiveness of livolin forte in the treatment of patient with steatohepatitis].

The article analyzes efficacy of the drug livolin in the treatment of patients with fatty hepatosis. It is shown that livolin promotes a rapid arresting of clinical symptomatology, normalization of biochemical indices, makes for improvement of physical-and-chemical properties of the bile.
