[Use of thrombolytic therapy and rheolytic thrombectomy in treatment of pulmonary artery thromboembolism].

The article deals with the results of combined treatment of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism by means of systemic thrombolytic therapy, anticoagulant therapy, and rheolytic thrombectomy during the period from 2012 to 2013. Thrombolytic therapy was used in 78 of 187 patients with the confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism (Group 1). The diagnosis was verified and therapeutic results were controlled by means of contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomography and perfusion scintigraphy.

[Structure of nocturnal sleep if there is a violation of the blood supply in the territory of internal carotid artery].

The work examines the influence of degree ofstenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) of noc- turnal sleep and discusses possible neurophysiological mechanisms of sleep disorders when blood flow in ca- rotid system. 24 patients (19 male and 5 female) were examined. The mean age of men was 49.

[Mini-invasive technologies in treatment of acute cholecystitis in patients with high operational and anesthetic risk].

The treatment results of 769 patients with acute calculous cholecystitis and high operational and anesthetic risk at admission are presented in the retrospective study. High risk was determined by expressed comorbidities, diseases' terms, the complications of acute cholecystitis, age, which was more than 60 years in most cases. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the severity of comorbidity and the possible effects of its correction.

[Assessment of the diagnostic value of perfusion scintigraphy in diagnosis of pulmonary artery thromboembolism].

The present work was aimed at specifying the place of perfusion scintigraphy of the lungs in the diagnostic algorithm of pulmonary artery thromboembolism (PATE) and at determining sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the method concerned. The authors analysed the data regarding a total of 211 patients divided into two groups (Group One with an arbitrary algorithm of investigation, comprising 108 patients and Group Two with the suggested algorithm of «pulmonary roentgenography Doppler ultrasonography perfusion scintigraphy of the lungs») in clinically suspected pulmonary artery thromboembolism and scintigraphy-revealed defects of perfusion. The diagnostic complex included ECG, Doppler ultrasonography of the veins, roentgenography, perfusion scintigraphy of the lungs, and in a series of doubtful cases Echo-CG and CT angiography of the lungs.

[Possibilities of using MIGI-K protective activity under conditions of radionuclide contamination].

Experimental studies of the mussel hydrolyzate (MIGI-K) have shown that this preparation can enhance both general and radiation resistance of the organism. Moreover, MIGI-K promotes elimination of incorporated radionuclides from the organism. Some properties of this preparation, in particular, the absence of toxicity or harmful side effects, have made it possible to apply MIGI-K as an adaptogen, that is, a food supplement oftherapeutic and preventive action used to increase radionuclide excretion in the Chernobyl emergency clean-up workers.
