Unsatisfactory results of ulcer drug medication necessitate introduction of new approaches to treatment of this disease. We tried massage and therapeutic exercise as alternative methods of ulcer treatment as they provide biologically validated ways to mobilization of the body defenses. The results of our studies showed that deep reflex muscular massage and exercises for extension of the skeletal muscles are not inferior in effectiveness in ulcer than routine drug therapy.

[Perioperative dynamics of the parameters of acid-base equilibrium in patients with lung cancer in relation to the type of anesthesia].

Acid-base parameters of the venous blood have been studied in 60 patients with lung cancer randomized into two groups prior to and following lung resection and on days 2, 4 and 9 postoperatively. In group I multicomponent endotracheal anesthesia using controlled lung ventilation and postoperative intramuscular analgesia with non-narcotic and narcotic analgesics were employed. In group II anesthesia and controlled lung ventilation were supplemented by epidural anesthesia with 2.
