Cerebral hemodynamics in pre-eclampsia/eclampsia syndrome.

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia represent a syndrome with progressive pregnancy-induced hypertension. They are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The pre-eclampsia/eclampsia syndrome has been hypothesized to reflect a subtype of hypertensive encephalopathy.

[Arteriosclerosis obliterans and ozone therapy. Its administration by different routes].

We report 72 non-diabetic patients with obliterant atherosclerosis, stadium II, (intermittent claudication). The medium age of these patients was 62 +/- 4.5 years old.

[A mathematical analysis of the flow-velocity curves in the femoral arteries].

In order to improve the early diagnosis of the aortoiliac injuries, 98 arteries from several supposedly health patients (different ages) and 41 femoral arteries from patients with occlusion at this level (demonstrated by arteriography) were studied. The analysis from the Fourier's series showed highly significant differences between both groups, and so did the comparison of some indexes automatically measured by the Vasoscan VL equip. By multivariant statistics methods was selected the main group of parameters that allows the differentiation between the ill patients and the healthy ones.

[Ozone therapy in the advanced stages of arteriosclerosis obliterans].

Fifteen patients with atherosclerosis obliterans at the lower limbs, no candidates to revascularizing surgery were submitted to ozone therapy. An improvement statistically significant was noticed in the treatment groups since amputation ratio decreased (26.7%) and the need of pain's surgery procedures (13.

[The hemodynamic characterization of the diabetic patient with arterial calcifications].

This study was designed to describe the presence of calcifications according to the clinical features of the diabetic patient and the hemodynamics of the calcified arteries. With this purpose, 197 lower limbs from diabetic patients (type I and II) and carbon-hydrate intolerant patients, were studied. In all of the patients, the pressure ratio leg/arm was measured.
