[The epidemiological markers of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains circulating in different types of hospitals].

Pyocinovar and serovar characteristics of 91 P.aeruginosa strains isolated from patients and the environment in a hospital for premature children, a child survey hospital and a neonatological hospital. The leading epidemiological markers of P.

[Microbiology of suppurative wound in laser radiation].

Comparative quantitative and qualitative appraisal of purulent lesions of the soft tissues in surgical patients treated with the infrared lasers "Uzor" (pulse) and "Skalyar (continuous) and by the traditional methods (antibiotics, antiseptics, ointments) was conducted under clinical conditions. Abscesses, mastitis, and phlegmons were studied before and after the operation and on the 3rd, 6th, and 12th postoperative day. It was found that Staphylococcus aureus in a monoculture was the etiological cause of purulent infection in 75.

[Toxic melanoderma in chronic intoxication with trinitrotoluene].

Hyperkinetic atactic syndrome, an atypical neurologic disorder of a chemical origin, was reported in connection with trinitrotoluene-induced melanoderma. Decreased level of urinary 17-hydroxycorticoids stresses the failure of one biochemical link in melanin synthesis, but proves the same pathogenic origin of both melanopathy manifestations. Antioxidant therapy in the pathogenesis treatment of melanoderma is considered valuable.

[Clostridium difficile and diarrhea in infants in the first half-year of life].

In order to study a possible etiological relationship between Clostridium and diarrhea in children of the first half year of life and to characterize the colonization of the intestine with these bacteria, bacteriological investigations of feces were carried out in neonates and babies aged 1, 4 and 14 days and 1, 3 and 6 months. The development of the children and their health status were monitored under home conditions. It has been established that the colonization of the neonates' intestine with Clostridium including C.

[Pathology of the joints of the hand and periarticular tissues in exposure to local vibration and functional overload of the hands].

The hand joint is a multi-joint formation, including the wrist, carpal, intercarpal, carpometacarpal, intermetacarpal, distal radioulnar joints. Features of hand joint and periarticular tissue disease were studied in 536 workers exposed to local vibration and functional overstrain. The most prevalent diseases are arthroses with deformation of the wrist, radiocarpal, carpometacarpal joints, often with involvement of the triangular fibrous disk and carpals, periarthroses of the hand joint with compression neuropathy of the median and ulnar nerves.
