[Clinical and metabolic predictors for delirium tremens].

Objective: To search for objective diagnostic criteria for the development of delirium tremens (DT) based on physiological and metabolic parameters.

Material And Methods: The total number of patients was 506, including 393 patients with DT and 113 patients with uncomplicated alcohol withdrawal syndrome (UAWS). Twenty clinical and metabolic indicators were analyzed statistically using comparison of means, logistic regression and ROC-analysis.

[Selection of optimal method of general anesthesia for intubation of nasolacrimal duct in young children].

Purpose: comparative assessment of safety and clinical efficacy of Sevoflurane and Halothane in general anesthesia for nasolacrimal duct intubation in children.

Material And Methods: Clinical results of nasolacrimal duct intubation in 288 children with persistent obstruction of tear duct were analyzed. A newly developed method of general anesthesia in the supine position was used for all cases.

Decommissioning strategy for liquid low-level radioactive waste surface storage water reservoir.

The Techa Cascade of water reservoirs (TCR) is one of the most environmentally challenging facilities resulted from FSUE "PA "Mayak" operations. Its reservoirs hold over 360 mln m of liquid radioactive waste with a total activity of some 5 × 10 Bq. A set of actions implemented under a special State program involving the development of a strategic plan aimed at complete elimination of TCR challenges (Strategic Master-Plan for the Techa Cascade of water reservoirs) resulted in considerable reduction of potential hazards associated with this facility.

[The efficacy of remaxol addition in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome].

Objective: To study the efficacy of remaxol addition in the treatment scheme of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

Material And Methods: Eighty patients with alcohol dependence and physical symptoms of alcohol withdrawal syndrome were enrolled. All patients received basic therapy in accordance to the applicable standards of treatment.

[Stress protection therapy in the prevention of macular morphological lesions in patients with diabetes mellitus at cataract microsurgery].

Patients with a family history of diabetes mellitus should undergo complex antistress protection of the macula for the prevention of its stress-induced lesions during cataract phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. A differential algorithm of stress protection therapy has been developed in relation to the phase of surgical stress, the use of which is to enhance the tolerance of vegetovascular, hemodynamic, and metabolic systems to the aggressive components of surgical stress, thus reducing the incidence of transient subclinical and clinical macular edema.
