[The effect of kavinton, trental, sermion and kurantil on the blood flow rate in individual segments of the cerebral arteries].

The paper shows that intravenous administration of trental, curantil, cavinton and sermion to cerebrovascular deficient patients causes a decline in blood circulation rates in the extracranial part of the carotid arteries. Sermion exhibited a biphase reaction: an increase in the blood flow followed by a decrease 15-30 minutes after introduction in the carotid arteries. Trental and curantial act in the intracranial arteries as moderate vasodilators reducing blood flow speed and blood vessel resistance.

[Significance of subjective symptoms and diagnostic criteria in initial forms of cerebral circulation insufficiency].

Piracetam was applied to the treatment of 60 patients with initial manifestations of brain circulation failure and stage I circulatory encephalopathy. The drug exerted a beneficial therapeutic effect by reducing high brain vascular resistance (both extra- and intracranial) and by increasing the lowered volume of pulse fluctuations. It made fibrinolytic blood activity and aggregation of formed elements of the blood return to normal.

[Use of ftorafur for the treatment of 3d-4th stage].

To treat ovarian cancer of stage III-IV the authors have used an antimetabolite-fluorafur. A total dosage of 17-23 g. "marked improvement" was noted in 15 patients, "insignificant improvement" - in 9, there was no improvement in one case.
