[Clinico-epidemiologic and clinico-nosologic characteristic of the hip trauma as a component of polysystemic damage].

Clinico-epidemiological and clinico-nosological indices of the hip injury (HI) in a structure of polysystemic and polyorgan damage, depending on gender, age of the injured patients, as well as the main mechanisms and conditions of trauma, were investigated. Four hundreds of charts of stationary patients, the injured persons, suffering polytrauma, who were treated in The Ternopyl University clinic in 2008 - 2012 yrs, were analyzed. The HI, as a component of polysystemic damage, was revealed in 54 patients.

[Analysis of immediate causes of mortality in the injured persons, suffering open hepatic injury on a prehospital stage].

The results of a medical help delivery on prehospital stage to 200 injured persons, suffering penetrating abdominal wounding with hepatic damage, were analyzed. The main cause of death in 87.5% of the injured persons with open hepatic damage is a non-compensated blood loss, in 12.

[Metabolism of collagen in patients with Dupuitren's contracture].

Results of investigation of collagen metabolism in Dupuitren's contracture (DC) were summarized. The patients were operated for calculous cholecystitis and DC stages II - III. The changes revealed witnessed about more expressed degradation of collagen and affection of the elastin components of connective tissue.

[Assessment of functional activity of phagocytic system in patients suffered from Dupuytren's contracture with hepatic fibrosis].

Dupuytren's contracture--a pathology that should not be seen as an isolated lesion tendon-aponeurotic structures of the palmar surface of the hand, but as a disease that requires careful research and a comprehensive, differentiated approach to treatment. The aim of the study was to investigate the functional activity of the phagocytic system of Dupuytren's contracture patients with chronic hepatitis and liver fibrosis in liquidators of the CHNPP accident consequences. The resulting study 188 patients aged 45-65 years showed the correlation of the data of the functional activity of phagocytic system with degree of liver fibrosis, thus objectively assess the patient's condition and make the appropriate correction in the diagnostic criteria as well as in medical and rehabilitative programs.

[Clinical resulting risks in the persons injured in the traffic accident depending on the role and position in the traffic].

Clinical resulting risks of the abdominal organs trauma in the injured persons, as a consequence of a traffic accident, constitute an important component of multicomponent polysystem trauma for the sign of taking part in a traffic.
