[Echocardiographic evaluation in patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias originating from right ventricular outflow tract before and one year after radiofrequency catheter ablation].

Purpose: To estimate echocardiographic measurements in patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias originating from right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) before and one year after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) comparing with healthy volunteers.

Materials And Methods: The study consisted of 30 patients (7 women, 34.9+/-15.

[Metabolic structures of the blood serum--markers of acute pancreatitis].

The goal of the study was to reveal the meaning of metabolic structures of the blood serum (BS) in the diagnostics of acute pancreatitis (AP). Along with standard methods of examination, cystalloscopical examination of the BS was conducted for 46 patients with AP. The BS of 22 healthy people was used as control.

[Atherosclerosis/calcinosis of the carotid and peripheral arteries in patients with initial and terminal stages of chronic renal failure].

Aim: To perform ultrasound dopplerography (UD) investigation of severity and prevalence of atherosclerosis/calcinosis of the central and peripheral arteries in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF); to estimate correlation between the vascular lesions and cardiovascular risk factors.

Material And Methods: UD of major arteries and echocardiography were made in 46 patients with CRF: 10 patients with initial CRF (creatinine 1.4-2.

[Hiatus hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease as a manifestation of a newly revealed hypothyroidism].

The aim of the study was to reveal hypothyroidism (HT) in patients with hiatus hernia (HH), treated at Russian Centre of Functional Surgical Gastroenterology. The subjects were 64 women: 18--with HH and diffuse or diffuse nodular goiter, 36--with HH, and 10--without endocrine or somatic disease background. The examination included the evaluation of the thyroid and metabolic status, endoscopy, and 24-hour ph-metry.

[Polarization microscopy in diagnosis of metabolic disorders].

An early diagnostics of metabolism disorders by using different methods is still acute. In this respect, the crytstal-optic examination of the metabolism structures of blood serum, implemented in a polarized light (microscope MIN-8) is in the focus of attention. We studied the structure of blood serum of 160 patients with various metabolic disorders.
