[Psychoemotional changes in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis during therapy using psychological and neuropsychological methods].

Therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis in patients is complicated by their negative psychoemotional state frequently deteriorated by long inpatient stay. Enhancing the efficiency of rehabilitative measures in phthisiology requires active optimization of the patients' mental state. This problem can be solved by a package of correction measures involving psychological correction with reflex therapeutic normalization of the functional state of the cortical regions of the central nervous system in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

[The efficacy of antifungal therapy in treatment of gastric ulcer].

Certain general and local factors can increase the probability of complications of gastric ulcer (GU) and addition of conditionally pathogenic fungi (CPF), which requires direct examination of GU patients for fungous infections. Considering that addition of active CPF forms to ulcerous defects lead to enlargement and deepening of ulcers and postpones their healing, all patients with GU complicated by addition of CPF were administered antifungal drugs. A comparative study found no significant differences in the efficacy of eradication of fungal infection between system (resorbable) and luminal (non-resorbable) antimycotics.

[Mycotic infection in gastric peptic ulcer].

To assess the risk factors of mycotic infection on the gastric mucosa (GM) in patients with gastric peptic ulcer, 34 patients who had much mycelium on the bottom of the defect and 122 patients without fungal infection were examined in detail. The occurrence of mycotic infection in patients with ulcerative defects was associated with a variety of both local (the depth, number, large sizes of defects, diminished gastric acid-producing ability) and total (age, trophological insufficiency, iron-deficiency anemia, oral mycotic disease, autonomic dysfunction) factors. Mycotic involvement of ulcerative defects is secondary and regarded as a focal manifestation of mycotic infection.

Transfer of space technologies past and present: the Russian case.

Today the real and functional transformation of this field is on the agenda. The paper is organized as follows.
