[Cases of pyogenic iliopsoas abscesses in military men].

Four cases of pyogenic inflammation of the iliolumbar muscle were analyzed and 3 clinical cases of this disease in military men are described. A rare case of abscess of the iliolumbar muscle complicated by secondary appendicitis is also described. A hematogenic way of infection against the background of microtraumas and hematomas with m.

Study of temperature effect on far-infrared spectra of liquid H2O and D2O by analytical theory and molecular dynamic simulations.

The results of a combined study of dielectric loss (epsilon"(nu)) and power-absorption coefficient (alpha(nu)) are reported. The epsilon"(nu) and alpha(nu) values are obtained for liquid water (H2O) and heavy water (D2O) using analytical modeling and the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations method. The calculated spectra span the microwave and far-infrared (FIR) region.

Basic molecular mechanisms underlying complex permittivity of water and ice.

Four dielectric-loss frequency dependences epsilon''j(nu), j = 1-4, which constitute a basis for underlying far-infrared (FIR) spectra of water and ice, are briefly analyzed. The relevant molecular mechanisms are (a) free-like libration of a permanent dipole in a hat potential, (b) elastic vibration of a nonrigid dipole along the H-bond (HB), (c) elastic reorientation of a permanent dipole around this bond, and (d) vibration of HB water molecules transverse to the HB direction. A semiphenomenological (SP) approach, based on analytical calculation of the spectrum of autocorrelation function, is applied.

[The characteristics of the course of diseases with a therapeutic profile].

Medical losses owing to common diseases during the war in Afghanistan were several times greater than medical losses in wounded. It happened due to a high level of infectious morbidity (hepatitis A, typhoid diseases, dysentery, amebiasis and malaria). Generally, this kind of morbidity in itself was not very high and was comparatively equal to the period of the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945.

[Calculation of the spectrum of dielectric losses in the protein-water system].

The spectrum of dielectric losses in the frequency range up to microwaves for haemoglobin solution (Hb) in water was calculated. For humidified Hb the concentration relationships of epsilon components having a break of curve with water concentration exceeding some critical value were also determined. For three water fractions in the solution to be calculated the model of confined rotators was applied.

[Changes in cerebral and central hemodynamics in response to hypotensive therapy of patients with essential hypertension and different types of circulation].

A study of indices of the cerebral and central hemodynamics in 122 patients with essential hypertension revealed differences in indices of the cerebral blood flow depending on the initial hemodynamic type. It was shown that the assessment of initial indices of the central hemodynamics makes it possible to achieve more favorable hemodynamic rearrangement, and an analysis of the cerebral hemodynamics--to foresee the inclusion of drugs correcting the cerebral blood flow in multimodality antihypertensive therapy.

[Interrelations between work capacity and the indicators of central and cerebral hemodynamics in patients with hypertension during hypotensive treatment].

The information test can provide an objective assessment of the working capacity of essential-hypertension patients in the course of treatment, as well as an indirect assessment of their cerebral flow. A correlation was demonstrated between the physical state of health and working capacity of hypertensive patients, on the one hand, and their arterial BP levels and severity of cerebral hemodynamic disorders, on the other, a fact to be considered in the administration of hypotensive treatment.

[Effect of a flow-frequency alternating magnetic field on the microflora and healing of burn wounds].

Under observation were 77 patients with burned hands. It was shown that the application of the alternating low frequency magnetic field resulted in the inhibition of the microbial flora of burn wounds, raised the sensitivity of staphylococci and blue pus bacillus to a number of reserve antibiotics, accelerated the healing of superficial burns and preparation of the wounds for autodermoplasty after deep burns. The authors recommend to use magnetotherapy in the complex treatment of burned hands.

[Interrelations between subjective and personal characteristics of patients with hypertension and the indicators of central and cerebral hemodynamics].

A study was made of the correlation between subjective sensations (headache), the degree of disorder of cerebral hemodynamics and personal peculiarities in 101 patients with hypertensive disease. A high degree (100%) of neurotization, a decrease in the level of the cerebral blood flow in the presence of acutely raised tension of the cerebral small vessels and disorders of the venous outflow were revealed. An insignificant elevation of tension of the cerebral small vessels with the preserved arterial blood flow and normal venous outflow was detected in the patients who did not suffer from headaches.

[Optimization of hypotensive therapy in hospitals].

The authors offer a scheme of optimizing hypotensive treatment, which combines subjective, objective (the hemodynamics) and social (ability to work) characteristics. It was shown that the criteria of the adequacy and efficacy of hypotensive treatment should include the intensity of the cerebral blood flow and the level of blood pressure in addition to the coefficient of information processing, and an increase in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The use of the offered scheme of optimization in 80 patients with essential hypertension made it possible to cut down the period of hospitalization and improve the efficacy of treatment.
