[Prevention of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities and pulmonary embolism in neurological patients in the intensive care unit using intermittent pneumatic compression].

Aim: To assess the efficacy of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in neurological patients.

Material And Methods: The study included 101 patients with acute disorders of cerebral circulation: 52 patients underwent IPC for prevention of DVT of the lower extremities, 49 patients received only basic treatment. Clinical examination, venous duplex scan of the lower extremities and telethermography were performed.

[Reason to split the genus Aurelia. Mesoglein from two populations differ].

The medusa, Aurelia aurita (Scyphozoa, Cnidaria), is considered to be a cosmopolitan species with a worldwide distribution in most seas from the poles to the tropics. Cnidarian is thought to possess two tissue layers: endoderm (gastroderm) and ectoderm, which are separated by huge mesoglea in medusa. The basic morphology of medusa is similar in different populations.

[The application of pulsed magnetic stimulation in the rehabilitation of the children operated for the treatment of grade III-IV scoliosis].

In the present paper, we for the first time provide a rationale for the application of a new physical factor, pulsed magnetic stimulation, in pediatric practice. Our observations have demonstrated positive dynanfics of the parameters characterizing the functional state of the neuro-muscular apparatus and equalization of the amplitude of M-response as appears from the results of electromyographic studies. The data obtained by electrocardiography and estimation of the external respiratory function give evidence of favourable dynamics of the cardio-respiratory system.

[Line class retroposon is the component of the DNA polymorphic fragments pattern of trematode Himasthla elongata parthenitae].

We have determined that S-SAP method (Sequence specific amplification polymorphism) reveals clonal variability in the genomes of larvae of flatworm Himasthla elongata (Trematoda, Echinostomatidae). Being parthenogenetic the larvae were previously considered to be genetically homogeneous. Cloning and sequencing of a -500 bp conservative fragment (B1) from the fragments' pattern has been performed.

[The estimation of the efficacy of galvanic peloid therapy for the treatment of the children with chronic post-traumatic knee-joint synovitis following arthroscopy].

The present study has demonstrated that the children suffering from chronic post-traumatic knee-joint synovitis after arthroscopy develop an aseptic inflammatory process in the joints associated with the disturbances of local microcirculation, manifestations of sclerosis and fibrosis in the articular soft tissues. An algorithm for the treatment of synovitis in the postoperative period with the use of galvanic muds has been developed. The estimation of the clinical efficacy of this physiotherapeutic method was performed based on the results of routine medical examination, dynamic ultrasound investigation, and dynamic computed termography.
