Assessment of Soil Salinity Changes under the Climate Change in the Khorezm Region, Uzbekistan.

Soil salinity negatively affects plant growth and leads to soil degradation. Saline lands result in low agricultural productivity, affecting the well-being of farmers and the economic situation in the region. The prediction of soil salinization dynamics plays a crucial role in sustainable development of agricultural regions, in preserving the ecosystems, and in improving irrigation management practices.

[Modern aspects of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of perforations of chronic gastroduodenal ulcers].

Results of the complex diagnosis and surgical treatment of 180 patients with perforation of gastroduodenal ulcers were analyzed. It was shown that in pathogenesis of perforations of chronic gastroduodenal ulcers the leading place belonged to oxidizing stress. A pathogenetically grounded method of treatment of perforations of chronic gastroduodenal ulcers is an excision of the perforated ulcers in combination with vagotomy, but the method of treatment of perforations of "silent" ulcers is videolaparoscopic suture with endoscopic transgastgric chemical vagotomy.

[Laparoscopic treatment of hydatid liver cysts].

Laparoscopic hepatic hydatidectomy (LHE) was performed in 37 patients. Conversion to laparotomy in one case was caused by intrahepatic location of liver cyst. In 36 patients after LHE, the postoperative period was significantly easier than after standard operation.

[Video endoscopy of the residual cavity in hydatidectomy of the liver].

Results of treatment of 162 patients with echinococcosis of the liver were analyzed. Traditional surgical treatment of these patients was followed by endovideoscopy of the residual cavity of the liver. During endovideoscopy of the residual cavities the remnants of the chitinous membranes and small daughter vesicles not noticed during the open stage of the operation were removed in 7.
