[Some aspects of treatment of dissecting aneurysm of the aorta].

The problem of dissecting aneurysms of the aorta (DAA) is discussed on the basis of an analysis of treatment of 63 patients, a comparison of 19 clinico-morphological findings included. It was found that in elderly and senile patients DAA often developed in its abdominal portion against the background of atheromatous-ulcerous lesions responsible for the "scrappy" dissection and formation of "pockets" in the aorta wall. The formation of distal fenestration with a "double-barrel" was observed much more rarely.

[Emaciation syndrome (wasting syndrome) in a myasthenia patient].

Immunomorphological manifestations of the wasting syndrome in a patient with myasthenia: thymus atrophy, reduction of the spleen lymphoid tissue, sclerosis of the lymph nodes, hyperplasia of the bone marrow, a decrease in the absolute number of T- and B-lymphocytes of the peripheral blood, intestinal necrosis, and cachexia, are first described. The condition developed along with exacerbation of the main pathological process and immunosuppressive therapy (roentgen irradiation of the thymus, cyclophosphan, hydrocortisone).
