[Decrease of mortality after correction of water-electrolyte balance in basic therapy of ischemic stroke].

The subjects of the study were both 33 patients treated with a standard basic therapy including the use of diuretics, and 38 patients who at the same time, were treated with intravenous isotonic (5%) solution of glucose of keep blood serum osmolality at the upper normal level. This stabilisation of the blood osmolality has allowed the mortality to be decreased from 21.2 to 7.

[The stiffness of different sections of the cartilaginous surface of the femur head].

As a result of investigations on microstiffness of the cartilagenous covering of the human femoral bone head, normal (20), different values of microstiffness have been defined in various zones, depending on their functional load and thickness of the cartilage. The data obtained can serve for construction of subtotal endoprostheses of the coxal joint.
