[Osmotic and ion-regulatory responses in chronic diffuse liver pathology].

Patients with chronic hepatitis were found to develop an inadequate di- and natriuretic responses to osmotic agents administered into the gastrointestinal tract. In liver cirrhosis, the intensity of adaptive responses decreases or they completely disappeared. The causes for these abnormalities are impairment of osmoregulatory reflex links and dyscoordination of humoral factors.

[Changes in renal kaliuretic function in the dynamics of hepatic cirrhotic transformation].

During formation of hepatic cirrhosis in animals, excessive potassium loss has been found to depend on the increased loading of a nephron by its cation at its early stage and on abnormally changed tubular processes at late stages.

[Clinical aspects of indirect myocardial revascularization in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The article analyses the experience in surgical treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease (504 cases) by indirect revascularization of the myocardium by creating aseptic mediastino-exo-pericarditis. Clinical characteristic of the patients is given, 81.1% of them had a history of myocardial infarction; 57.
