[ECG changes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in children (data of routine and circadian ECG)].

Analysis is made of the routine and circadian ECG in 32 children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The signs of myocardial hypertrophy of some or other parts of the heart were discovered in 29 children (90.6%).

[Status of the liver in children with cardiomyopathies (data from echographic study)].

In order to estimate the liver status and hemodynamics in children with non-rheumatic cardiomyopathies, 130 schoolchildren were examined. Of these, 60 children were diagnosed to have hypertrophic and 70 dilated cardiomyopathy. In both cardiomyopathy varieties, alterations in the liver were established to be of secondary character and associated with greater circulation abnormalities.

[Characteristics of the formation of fat deposits in circumscribed lipomatosis of the neck and variants of surgical approaches to them].

During 15 years operations for circular lipomatosis of the neck (Madelung syndrome) were performed to 73 patients. Three variants of incisions (accesses) for removal of the fat accumulation from anterior areas of the neck are developed and described: 1) auriculo-mastoido-hypoglossal; 2) supraclaviculo-sternal; 3) cleidosternal The occipito-suprascapular incision is proposed for removal of fat accumulations from posterior areas of the neck.
