CHANGES OF ENDOTHELIN-1 CONTENT AND BLOOD RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES IN CRUSH SYNDROME.

This study describes hematocrit values and quantitative changes in plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels according to the severity of crush syndrome (CS) compression and decompression periods. The experiments were carried out on 50 randomly selected 200-250 gr mass Wistar rats with the use of the standard crush syndrome modeling method. The plasma level of ET-1 was determined by the immuneenzyme method with the use of ELISA REDEAR URIT 660.

CHANGES OF LIPOPEROXIDATION AND ANTIOXIDATIVE ENZYMES DURING CRUSH-SYNDROME MODELLING.

Crush-syndrome (CS) is characterized by numerous pathological deviations due to the soft tissue damage and their further reperfusion. The aim of the study was to investigate pro- and antioxidative processes during different regimens of crush syndrome. The experiment was carried out on randomly selected 200-250gr.

Rare recurrence of seizures in children with episodes of febrile seizures associated with herpesvirus 6 infection.

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is one of the recently discovered herpesviruses. Primary HHV-6 infection is a causative agent of roseola infantum and is frequently associated with nonspecific febrile seizures in children under the age of 3 years. The goal of our study was the investigation of HHV-6 infection in children with febrile seizures and to evaluate consequent seizures after the first episodes of febrile seizures associated vs.
