[Lavage of the digestive tract with an isotonic mineral water-based 3-salt solution].

The article presents technology, chief indications and contraindications, therapeutic effectiveness of peroral lavation of the alimentary canal with the drinking mineral water-base isotonic polyionic solution, its composition being as follows (g/dm3): sodium chloride, 6.5, potassium chloride, 0.75, sodium hydrocarbonate, 2.

[The antibiotic sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus--the causative agent of chronic tonsillitis and pharyngitis--in gastroenterology patients].

Sensitivity was studied to fifteen antibiotics of different members of Staphylococcus aureus group of bacteria recovered from the mucous coats of the palatine tonsils, throat, in twenty seven patients with gastroduodenitis, 21 those with duodenal ulcer, 12 patients with other gastroenterological disorders, and 17 essentially healthy carriers of above micro-organisms. The pathogens causing tonsillopharyngitis in the patients appeared to be significantly less sensitive to seven antibiotics than they were in controls. Polyresistance to antibiotics is a sign of a higher virulence.

[The relationship of duodenal peptic ulcer and gastroduodenitis to a chronic staphylococcal infection].

Tonsillar and pharyngeal smears revealed growth of pathogenic microorganisms, mainly of Staphylococcus aureus, in 58.0 +/- 3.7% of 174 patients with duodenal ulcer and gastroduodenitis during remission or unstable remission, in 40.

[The characteristics of using mineral waters with an increased boron content in rehabilitating patients with hepatobiliary pathology].

Changes in biochemical bile composition were investigated in 42 patients with chronic infective acalculous cholecystitis on combined sanatorium treatment. In those with carbohydrate dysbolism, bile production was found inhibited possibly due to the intake of carbonate sodium mineral water of moderate mineralization containing bromine and fluorine with high concentrations of bromine, in particular.
