[The use of flavonoid antioxidants in the complex treatment of patients with peripheral vitreo-chorioretinal dystrophies and dystrophic retinal detachment].

Parameters of lipid peroxidation (LP) and antioxidant activity (AOA) of tear and blood plasma were examined in 22 healthy subjects (44 eyes) as well as in 33 patients with peripheral vitreochoreoretinal dystrophies (PVCRD--60 eyes), in 32 patients with non-operated dystrophic retinal detachment (DRD--34 eyes) and in 135 patients with operated retinal detachment, stable visual functions and with the postoperative period ranging from 4 months to 10 years (137 eyes). The results denoted a lower tear AOA (on the average by 35%) in patients with DRD and PVCRD, whereas, the blood plasma AOA or LP products' content remained unchanged. It is indicative of a local nature of metabolic impairments, specifically, of impairments in the system of antioxidant protection of the eye.

[Peripheral vitreochorioretinal dystrophies in myopia patients].

The problem of retinal detachment prevention is closely connected with a competent diagnosis of peripheral vitreochorioretinal dystrophies (PVCRD). The present research was aimed at analysis of PVCRD incidence in myopia of various degree and of the incidence of pathologic shifts requiring prophylactic laser coagulation or cryopexy. A total of 1022 patients (2044 eyes) with myopia of various degrees aged 5 to 58 were examined.

[Organization of the active detection of pretumorous and tumorous diseases of the stomach using primary automated screening and fiber gastroscopy].

The report discusses a computerized system of early detection of gastrointestinal diseases and risk group formation using special formalized questionnaires to be filled by industrial enterprise personnel. Endoscopic examination of 1,240 followed-up patients detected stomach cancer in 32 cases, gastric and duodenal ulcer--195, gastric polyps--37 and various forms of gastritis--in 766 cases. As a result of a computerized processing of the questionnaire-based data, 1,084 subjects were referred to group I.
