[The role of diet in the prevention and treatment of precancerous conditions in the risk groups].

The authors studied feasibility of using flavours, particularly, agent M-1 containing basic nutrients of antipromotor action in available form and fish oil containing fatty omega-3 acids as well as natural vitamin E for correction of homeostasis in patients with gastrointestinal precancer. 142 patients at risk to develop gastrointestinal cancer received diets for 6 months by 2-month cycles: M-1 daily in a dose 15-50 g, fish oil in a dose 10-30 ml. Control subjects did not receive the diets.

[Status of the cardiovascular system in patients with subacute thyroiditis].

In thirty patients with subacute thyroiditis the authors examined cardiovascular system with the use of the ECG as the most accessible and informative enough method. The clinical and ECG alterations were compared before and after the treatment with glucocorticoids. It was established that the patients with subacute thyroiditis had clinico-electrocardiographic alterations attesting to the presence of myocardiodystrophy.
