DAILY PROFILE DYNAMICS OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND DIASTOLIC FUNCTION OF LEFT VENTRICLE IN CARDIAC REHABILITATION PATIENTS DEPENDING ON SMOKING FACTOR.

Aim of the research - to study the peculiar features of the left ventricle (LV) diastolic function (DF) and regulation of arterial pressure (AP) in patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in cardiac rehabilitation treatment dynamics depending on smoking factor. 114 patients at the age of 42-78 years old (average age 56,61±1,35) that have recently had ACS (less than 28 days ago) have been examined and have passed cardiac rehabilitation programme in the rehabilitation department after cardiac diseases at "Morshynkurort" sanatorium-resort complex. All patients have been divided into 2 groups according to smoking habit.

[Possible applications of free microsurgical fibula transplantation in the reconstruction of complex bone defects in the extremities: review of the literature and case series].

Background:  Extensive osseous defects of the extremities following trauma and tumour resection represent a major challenge for plasticreconstructive surgical teams. Defect reconstruction by free microsurgical fibula transplantation has become a standard method but is associated with a considerable rate of complications. The aim of the present work is to provide an up-to-date overview of the various reconstruction methods and to report our personal experiences with free fibula transplantation in a case series.
