The role of alcohol extract of cranberry in improving serum indices of experimental metaproterenol-induced heart damage in rats.

Cranberry offers numerous cardiovascular benefits. According to several studies, this fruit promotes the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein, enhances high-density lipoprotein, reduces platelet coagulation, and improves vascular activity. Albino male rats were divided into five groups ( = 5 per group).

[Haemodynamics during kidney transplantation and general anaesthesia in combination with epidural block and without it in pediatric patients].

Research Objective: To compare haemodynamic effects of general anaesthesia in combination with epidural block and without it during kidney transplantation in Pediatric patients.

Methods: 61 Pediatric patients undergoing kidney transplantation were divided into two groups. General anaesthesia with sevoflurane, propofol, phentanilum and regional ropivacaine epidural block were used in the group 1.

[Central hemodynamic reactions to exercise in patients with infantile cerebral paralysis as a possibility of choosing a procedure for anesthesia and predicting its course].

The major parameters of physical development and central hemodynamics were studied in children suffering from moderate and severe infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP) at rest and after routine exercise. Examinations were made in 2 groups of children: 1) 15 patients aged 3 - 8 years (5.4 +/- 0.
