[Geriatric aspects of diagnosis and treatment of psychotropic agent poisonings].

Clinical and laboratory parameters were comparatively assessed in persons from two age groups (15-59 and 60-89 years) on their admission to hospital and in the course of equal treatment. The elderly and senile patients showed a higher incidence of inflammatory complications and death in the toxicogenic and somatogenic phases of acute intoxication with delayed recovery of laboratory parameters.

[Morphological aspects of acute intoxication with azaleptin].

Clinico-anatomical analysis, chemico-toxicological and histological examination of material from 54 deceased from intoxication with azaleptin both in urgent toxicology department and pre-admission stage, were performed. Morphology of intoxication with azaleptin was studied, structural base of genopathy at these intoxications was developed.

[Endogenous intoxication parameters in the assessment of a risk for pneumonias in acute azaleptin intoxications].

In cases of acute azaleptin poisoning (AAP), the parameters of endogenous intoxication (EI) were studied in patients both with complicated pneumonias and without them. The integral EI index endogenous intoxication coefficient (Cei) was developed, which simultaneously reflects the coupling capacity of albumin of hydrophilic toxins and lipid peroxidation products: Cei (MMWP x MDA/EAC) x 1000, where MMWP is medium molecular-weight peptides; MDA is malonic dialdehyde; EAC is the effective albumin concentration. The use of Cei significantly enhances the efficiency of diagnosis of early-stage EI and provides a more objective assessment of therapy in AAP patients.

[Family is the foundation for child health].

Problems of children's health status are discussed in relation to performance by a family of its basic functions. Data are presented on a relationship between the parameters of children's health status and performance by a family of medical function, function of upbringing of children, and function of socialization of children. A relationship was established between the level of family functioning and stage of development of family vital cycle.
