[Neuromuscular disorders in patients with cancer after radical operations on the stomach].

Detection and stimulus-detection electromyography were used to study the bioelectrical activity of limb muscles in patients operated on for gastric carcinoma. Exercise tolerance and the level of work fitness according to the ergokinetic data were examined at a time. Depending on the indicators 66 patients were distributed into 3 groups.

[The current aspects of the preoperative preparation of cancer patients at the polyclinic stage].

Two hundred and one candidates for surgical treatment of cancer underwent ergokinetic examination on an outpatient basis to evaluate functional status of the body. Patients were distributed into three groups according to results of complex evaluation of indexes of tolerance to dosed physical exercise. Preoperative preparation was determined by functional-somatic status.

[Combination electroanesthesia in oncological patients during surgery and in the early postoperative period].

Pelan and Elnar type electric stimulators were used to produce analgesia in 178 cancer patients in the course of surgery and in early postoperative period. The results of a complex study using rhythmography, acid-base balance, blood-sugar level, arterial and central venous pressure measurements and psychophysiologic examination with the Neuron type installation showed that joint application of electric stimulation and local anesthesia as well as the use of electric stimulation in combination with intravenous injection of hydroxybutyric acid, seduxen and ketalar provide adequate intraoperative anesthesia in 85% of cases. Postoperative application of electroanesthesia in cancer patients was followed by a significantly lower requirement of narcotic analgetics.

[Assessment of the danger of bronchological studies under polyclinic conditions].

In 176 ambulatory patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases of the lung the initial parameters of acid-base balance and blood gases were studied. Metabolic acidosis was found in 29.5%, alkalosis--in 54.
