[Actual aspects of phlebothromboses and thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery in trauma].

Risk factors of the development of phlebothrombosis and thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery (TEPA) were estimated in 257 patients as associated both with the patient and the trauma. The factors influencing the development of risk factors were: bed immobilization, age older than 40, heart failure and respiratory insufficiency, fractures of the lower extremities, skeleton traction, obesity, thrombosis of lower extremities, previous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, floating clot. Risk factors of the development of vein thrombosis associated with trauma included the presence of lower extremity fractures, skeletal traction or immobilization in bandage, mechanism of injury and type of trauma.

[Pulmonary artery thromboembolism in patients with trauma].

The study accrued 257 patients with mechanical traumas of varying severity and sites, complicated by post-traumatic phiebothrombosis. In 87 (33.85%) patients, traumatic disease was aggravated by pulmonary artery thromboembolism (PTE).

[Central hemodynamics in conditions of combined intravenous anesthesia using propofol and ketamine in pediatric ophthalmology].

A total of 152 patients aged 4-14 years at risk of ASA I or II were examined. Planned operations were carried out: correction of myopia, strabismus, and eyelid ptosis. The patients were divided into 4 groups: 1) 54 patients operated on under combined anesthesia (propofol infusion and ketamine bolus), 2) 60 children operated on under combined anesthesia by ketamine and propofol infusions, 3) 24 patients operated on under ketamine + seduxene infusion narcosis, and 4) 34 children in whom ketamine and seduxen were injected in boluses.

[Bullous form of X-linked congenital retinoschisis in infants].

Clinical manifestations and course of bullous X-linked congenital retinoschisis were studied in 10 infants aged 6-18 months. Visual function was evaluated by registration of electroretinogram and visual evoked potentials. The patients were followed up for 7.

[Role of radiologic diagnosis in the evaluation of morphologic and functional changes in muscular veins of the leg in the pathogenesis of varicose disease].

A total of 100 patients with varicosis of lower limb veins were investigated with the help of distal ascending phlebography in horizontal, vertical and tilted positions. Considerable differences in x-ray images of musculi gastrocnemius and soleus (MGS) were noted. Four main types of MGS (conic, spindle-form, U-form, and balloon-like) were singled out.

[Reconstructive surgery of valvular incompetence of deep veins in patients with varicosity of the lower limbs].

The individual indications for applying four methods for valve correction in 241 patients with valvular incompetence of the deep veins were determined on the basis of a developed four-stage organization-diagnostic complex. The methods were as follows: correction with a lavsan spiral (70 operations), suturing with paravasal structures (59), three-ligature method (142), and an original method with shortening of the cusps without opening the vein (30 operations). Study of the late results in follow-up periods of 12 months to 7 years showed the latter method to be most effective (88.

[Manual opthalmoscope OR-2].

An ophthalmoscope of the OP-2 type has been designed and built to investigate the eye fundus in white and "red-free" light and also intended for use with an orange photofilter. The device enables the eye fundus to be examined without restoring to a medicamentous dilatation of the pupil. The illumination produced by the ophthalmoscope is nearly twice as great as the one provided for by the earlier manufactured ophthalmoscope, model sigma0-61.
