[Clinical efficacy of combined anti-Helicobacter treatment of patients with duodenal ulcer].

84 patients with duodenal ulcer and positive by Helicobacter pylori (HP) were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 42 patients who received omeprasol, metranidasol and clarithromycin. Group 2 of 42 patients received rovamycin instead of clarythromycin.

[Analysis of plasma fibrinogen in evaluating the effectiveness and prognosis of polyradiomodifying therapy of malignant tumors of the upper respiratory tract].

Patients with malignant tumors of the upper respiratory tract showed higher concentrations of fibrinogen in plasma the level of which was correlated with the stage of disease. Measurements of the protein in the course of radiation therapy demonstrated that two months after effective treatment fibrinogen concentrations decreased to normal values and remained at that level throughout the remission time. If radiation therapy was ineffective, fibrinogen concentrations remained high during 2 to 4 months after exposure.

[Morphohistochemical and electron microscopic characteristics of malignant tumors of the upper respiratory tract after combined local hyperthermia and radiotherapy].

The paper discusses morphohistochemical and electron microscopic characteristics of 15 primary tumors of the upper respiratory tract removed following preoperative irradiation in combination with local hyperthermia as a radio-modifying factor. Eighteen tumors removed after irradiation alone served as controls. Application of local microwave hyperthermia resulted in a higher degree of irreversible tumor cell dystrophia and damage.

[Local hyperthermia and hyperglycemia in ORL oncology].

Two-year experience of radiotherapy combined with local hyperthermia, hyperglycemia and chemotherapeutic drugs in patients with tumors of the upper respiratory tract showed advantages of this method. The results were compared with those of the control group of patients on radiotherapy only. Three therapeutic schemes were employed.

[Multifield local hyperthermia as a method for heating deeply located neck tissues].

Distribution of the thermal field in neck tissues in local SHF-hyperthermia is studied. The two-field method of irradiation permits a uniform heating of more deeply located layers of the tissue due to summation of the radiant energy. So, the contact method of irradiation using "Luch-2" and "Luch-3" sets permits elevating the temperature inside the larynx up to 41-41.
