[The diagnosis and treatment of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children].

A clinical analysis of the diagnostics and treatment of 329 children with acute hematogenic osteomyelitis (AHO) has shown that the coloured liquid crystal thermography allows determination of the localization and spread of the inflammatory process in the bone, control of treatment efficiency, prognosis of the course and outcome of the disease. The use of the continuous-intermittent lavage of the bone with an enzyme-antibiotic mixture modified in the clinic in complex with a general treatment gives an improvement of the general condition 4-5 days earlier as compared with the traditional treatment, the disease taking the chronic form in 7.6% of the cases only.

[Comparative assessment of methods in early diagnosis of acute hematogenic osteomyelitis in children].

The results of early diagnosis of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in 329 children were analysed, causes of diagnostic errors and late hospitalization studied. A comparative assessment of diagnostic potentialities of liquid crystal termography (142 cases), osteotonometry and cytologic of a punctate of medullar cavity (89), osteomedullography (65), intraosseous thermometry (75) and roentgenography of the bones. Use of liquid crystal thermography permitted to establish location and spreading of the inflammatory process in a bone at the first day of the disease, to control the effectiveness of treatment, to predict its course and outcome.

[The treatment of intestinal invagination in children].

The work discusses the results of analysis of clinical diagnostics of intestinal intussusception in 197 children and their treatment. Age peculiarities of the clinical course of intussusception were revealed. The characteristic pathomorphological changes of the walls of the invaginated portion of the intestine were studied according to the duration of the disease and the type of intussusception.

[Role of forced detoxication for correcting microcirculatory disorders in suppurative, septic diseases in children].

The author has studied microcirculatory changes in pyo-septic diseases in 112 children, 10 of them--healthy ones (control group). The use of an intense diuresis in complex treatment of severe forms of pyo-septic diseases in children results in a considerable decrease of the blood protheolytic activity and toxicity and allows to interrupt microcirculatory disorders 3 or 4 days earlier than the routine method of detoxication therapy.
