[Muscular pathology in rheumatoid arthritis: a clinico-morphological study].

Muscular pathology was studied clinically, electromyographically, at light microscopy and assessment of tissue microcirculation in 34 patients with significant RA. 22 patients had systemic manifestations, in 12 patients articular lesions predominated. It was found that RA patients with systemic signs had more advanced muscular pathology, more frequent generalized amyotrophy, declined muscular function, low capacity of microcirculatory bed.

[Changes in microcirculation and respiration in acute intra-abdominal pathology according to electrokymographic data].

Electrokymography was applied for studies of pulmonary circulation and ventilation in 31 patients. A decrease of pulmonary circulation by 23.3% and lung ventilation reduction by 15.
